Leave a comment

Iconic British glam rocker Gary Glitter is out and about, a free man after serving a 3 year prison sentence for molesting children, he was staying in a Vietnam prison. Gary Glitter who’s real name is Paul Gadd seemed to be in an upbeat and positive mood after getting out of prison and flying to Hong Kong, China which immigration officials didn’t give him permission to enter their country. The Chinese forced him to book a flight back to England but he refuses to leave claiming he had an ear ache. He has already been barred from other countries such as Thailand is one of them.

The Associated Press reports:

Watch out America, he could be eyeing to come here since no other countries wants him, so America better ban him fast.

I think the law needs to be changed on child predators and pedophiles that they need a life prison sentence or even better, the death penalty. Predators and pedophiles deserve to rot in hell.

I won’t be around to hear it tomorrow, I’ll be on the plane to San Diego.

But who knows, I’ll probably hear the song riding in the car later in the week in San Diego when I’m out doing fun stuff.

I’m sure I’ll probably wind up hearing it at some point soon.

Report: James Hetfield to Metallica haters, “Get the hell off of my property, you stupid kids!!!!!”….

Leave a comment

With the look of James Hetfield’s face in the pic above, I’m sure that’s what he looked liked when he found out that his new home in California have been vandalized by locals.

James Hetfield the Metallica frontman bought new land in 1999 so he can build a huge home, studio, etc. in the Marin Hills of Marin County in Cali. The property used to be a popular biking and hiking trail where a lot of people like to go through. Hetfield boarded up the home with a huge electric barbed wire fence that almost looks like a prison fence. It was Hetfield’s way of keeping bikers and hikers off his property while the metal rocker is not there. James Hetfield angered locals who loved to use that trail but they can’t since Hetfield now owns the property.

The property had been vandalized with the words “SHAME DISGRACE” written on the fence. Hetfield has been nice to the local people before by donating 400 acres of the land to the locals to use some of the trails.

James Hetfield himself has not yet responded to this controversy.

More on it here:

Blech, the local people had nothing to complain about. They are just probably a bunch of Metallica haters trying to get the band out of their peaceful town. It’s Hetfield’s property, if he owns it, he has the right to do what he wants with it. Get over it people!

I’m glad he is denied a parole. He deserves to rot in jail. If he was let out in the future, who knows if he could kill Paul, Ringo or even Yoko herself or even other rock stars that aren’t Beatles related. They should just give the freak the death penalty already.

Report: Brad Paisley goes instrumental for next studio album…

2 Comments

Country star Brad Paisley is planning to go back into the studio again to do an album and has gone “instrumental”. Brad wants to show off his guitar skills more than the pop songwriting. The instrumental disc will include 15 tracks and Brad jams along with other famous guitarists as special guests such as B.B. King, Keith Urban, Vince Gill, James Burton and the late Buck Owens. There are only four tracks with lead vocals which B.B. King sings on a track and Keith Urban as well.

Buck Owens instrumental “Come On In” was an unfinished track until his death in 2006 but Brad Paisley himself finished the track for him and will put it on the record. Brad does a tribute to Les Paul who is the legendary founder and creator of the Gibson Les Paul guitars in the track “Les Is More” which Brad jams with 7 legendary guitarists in an all star superjam.

The 15 track album is due out in stores Nov. 4th.

It’s about damn time Paisley did an instrumental album!!!! He is an incredible guitar player and I’m looking forward to hearing what he can do on the axe other than his typical songwriting skills for radio. I’m definitely picking this up when it hits the shelves!

Cool Video: Ac/Dc fan sings and dances to “Rock N’ Roll Train” leaked song in youtube…

Leave a comment

An Ac/Dc fan seemed to have got their next single “Rock N’ Roll Train” early. So he made a video of himself impersonating Brian Johnson 100%. He dressed up like Brian Johnson and even knows his dance moves on stage. The person singing isn’t Brian Johnson, the kid is singing along to the riffs on the stereo. Pretty cool video. Enjoy the laughs.

Is the art work in the background of that website the cover art for “Black Ice”? Looks like it.

Looking forward to getting the album and hearing the new song.

Metallica and Ac/Dc coming back with new albums this year, fuckin’ sweet!

If we’re lucky enough, Guns N’ Roses will come out with “Chinese Democracy” this year hopefully and we’ll get three legendary rock bands with new albums this year.

Rock and Roll is trying to make a comeback to the mainstream. Hopefully it’ll destroy pop, rap and country.

CD Review: Rihanna “Good Girl, Gone Bad: Reloaded”

5 Comments

I just got done listening to Rihanna’s re-release of “Good Girl, Gone Bad: Reloaded” and wanted to give this one a quick review, this album has been re-released with a few new tracks added.

I am not into pop music hardily at all. I hate the genre so much in fact but there are a few exceptional pop artists out there that I’ll admit to enjoy listening to, for example, I enjoy pop artists such as Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys and now Rihanna is one of them.

A lot of famous rock musicians have been giving Rihanna lots of praises to her music. And after hearing this album, I can see why. This album is pop and R&B influenced, sure, but the songs on this album are actually pretty tight, they have a rock and roll feeling to them. I actually enjoy almost every song on the disc. You’ve heard her song “Umbrella” which is what she is mostly known for, her hit with Jay Z but the entire album has better songs than “Umbrella”. Rihanna have once explained she is a fan of rock music and she wanted to blend all that with pop. I think she is successful at that.

She maybe a gorgeous and beautiful looking girl but she is one of the very few talented pop stars in today’s music industry. She does a cover song “Don’t Stop the Music” that is actually pretty good. Rihanna’s vocals are fun and catchy, and every song is pretty upbeat, I don’t think there is one slow ballad.

I was surprised by the album and I actually really liked this one. Not excellent but real real good. Whether you’re a pop fan or not, I would reccomend you give this one a listen.

Score for Rihanna’s “Good Girl, Gone Bad: Reloaded” = *** (3 stars as in good)
