Ac/Dc unleashed their US tour dates, the tour begins Oct. 28th in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The tour ends in Charlotte, N.C. December 18th. Once the US tour is over, I’m sure the band will announce a bunch of international dates to tour overseas.

Oasis was forced to postpone their London, Ontario concert tonight, due to Noel Gallagher’s brutal attack in Toronto by an angry fan. Noel fell pretty hard on top of his monitor speakers, not the stage floor. So his injuries got serious after that.

I am reading a lot of message board posts and comments from other blogs about this incident that some people actually think Noel Gallagher got what he deserved.
Really? Are you serious?
I know Noel Gallagher is not the friendliest guy in the world, but whether you like him or not, he is still an innocent human being. It is never cool for anybody to attack someone whether you think he deserves it or not. Those who think Noel Gallagher deserved this are probably disrespectful and immature haters.
The kid who did this could have killed the guy. What if he had a knife or a gun?
I am glad Noel survived this and he is okay, we don’t need anymore musicians getting murdered on stage. I blame the Toronto V Festival security for making this happen. They have a horrible security team there, if they kept an eye at the crowd the entire time, then the security would have caught the kid even before he attacked Noel. Too late now.

Oasis put up the official video for their single “The Shock of the Lightning” in the band’s official youtube channel. I just love the song, it is brilliant work. Great rhythym playing and great riffing in guitar playing, also Noel’s vocals are unique in this tune. “Lightning” is a pretty tight tune and digging it very much. I’m definitely looking forward to getting their new album “Dig Out Your Soul”.

Courtney Love wrote a nice blog slamming the MTV VMA’s from last night. And guess what, I actually agree with her!

I never watch MTV or the VMA’s. Those that still do….why? The VMA’s continue to get worse and worse every year. Those that still do are probably the people who only concentrate on mainstream popularity of music.
The only reason MTV gave Britney those awards was to make her feel better because she had a tough year.
MTV shouldn’t be supported. MTV is worse than myspace. Both should be off this planet and get boycotted.

Noel Gallagher of Oasis was violently attacked by a fan at a concert at the V Festival in Toronto. An angry fan jumped on stage, ran toward Noel, and just pushed him. Noel landed on the stage floor pretty hard. Security was able to successfully drag the fan off the stage, as the fan was being dragged off the stage, you can see Liam (Noel’s brother), trying to kick the kid’s ass as he was being pulled away by security, but of course, security wouldn’t let Liam get near the kid. It took Noel a while to stand back up, when he finally did later in the video, the audience cheered for him, fans letting him know that it’s good that he’s alright.

Lars Ulrich put up his first personal video blog, to personally thank fans who put up youtube videos of fans covering Metallica songs on guitar and bass or whatever instrument they play. You’re a musician, you cover a Metallica song in a video and you don’t think Metallica themselves isn’t watching them? Well, you thought wrong. 🙂 The band watches all videos posted about Metallica in youtube as Lars explained here. Lars explains that the band is flattered and happy that musicians in youtube cover Metallica songs.
Enjoy.

A few videos of examples, people covering Metallica songs in youtube, these videos are from the bands “favorites” folder in their youtube channel.

Just like the old days of Metallica. Their songs start off with a few minutes of guitar music and then James vocals come in later in the song, good old Metallica.
Metallica uploaded a player on their website with 6 songs from “Death Magnetic” 3 we already heard and they uploaded 3 new tracks we’ve never heard.
The new album is sounding amazing so far. Album comes out next Friday September 12th, it will be only available to buy at Best Buy exclusively and of course I’m sure you can order from the band’s website.
Enjoy:

I don’t have a favorite track on the album so far, they’re all my favorite! The album will be amazing, can’t wait to get it!

Duff McKagan a former Gn’R man wrote a very good blog on how he doesn’t like being called a “rock star”. He explains how he doesn’t see himself being famous over music. He sees himself as a normal simple guy enjoying life, spending time with family and making music. He sees himself as a regular music lover like all of us.
Read Duff’s blog on it here (Duff himself is even replying to reader’s comments in his blog entries):

Great post Duff! I agree with you 100%, it’s good to see you don’t have an ego attitude like most so called “rock stars” have.

Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham are currently in the studio writing new music for a possible new Led Zeppelin album. However, Robert Plant is not involved in the recording session since he is still busy touring with Allison Krauss. The news of Led Zeppelin possibly recording a new album have been revealed by Jason Bonham himself.
More on it here:

Hmmm, the Robert Plant and Allison Krauss tour is almost over, they got 9 shows left in their tour:

Could Robert Plant have new Led Zeppelin music in prepared when he comes back home from his tour with Allison? Could Led Zeppelin be writing the music for Robert? I certainly hope Robert would be up to singing with Led Zeppelin for a new record.
I just want Led Zeppelin to make one last album before the band goes out for good.
