Cool Video: Rush performs on the Colbert Report here…

Here it is, Rush performing on Stephen Colbert. It was a great performance until Stephen interupted the performance at the end of it like an idiot and then he forced the show to go to commercial when the band was still playing the song. Rush should have played on either “Jay Leno” or “Conan O’ Brien” instead. Other than that, this performance is amazing. All three men in Rush are all amazing talented musicians. Geddy, Alex and Neil are all great. I’m a huge Rush fan, I have several of their albums in my CD collection including their new one “Snakes and Arrows”.

Can’t wait to hear “Runaway Train” in August! Hopefully the song will rock fucking hard, not some pop three chord song like “You Shook Me All Night Long”.

Report: Rush to perform on “The Colbert Report”…

We all know that the legendary progressive rock band, Rush, which features band members Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson hardily ever perform on TV much at all. This will be Rush’s first TV performance in more than three decades. The band Rush will appear on “The Colbert Report” a show hosted by comedian Stephen Colbert which airs on Comedy Central. Rush will perform their classic “Tom Sawyer” for this Wednesday’s show on “The Colbert Report”. Check your local TV guide for showtimes. Rush has NOT played on television since 1975.

Pretty cool. I’ll have to watch this tomorrow. I’m a big Rush fan.

Report: Guitar Hero to Rock Band, “Oh yeah, well take this Rock Band, you get new Guns N’ Roses, we get NEW Metallica album, hahahahaha…”

Yeah, it’s definitely Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band alright. Right after Rock Band announced they get a new Guns N’ Roses song early, the Guitar Hero franchise announced they’ll get the new Metallica album “Death Magnetic” in it’s entirety for “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” downloadable, so you can jam out to Metallica’s new entire album. The album will be downloadable in “Guitar Hero III” the same day “Death Magnetic” comes out in stores.

While Metallica may not yet be getting their own Guitar Hero video game, them getting “Death Magnetic” on Guitar Hero III is better than nothing, I guess!

From the band’s official website:

As the owner of “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock”, I’ll definitely download the entire Metallica album for the video game as well. Pretty sweet!

I guess the new Guns N’ Roses song is the real deal, the band didn’t deny it on their official website yet, so it is indeed true that a song from “Chinese Democracy” will get on there.

The name of the new Guns N’ Roses song is “Shackler’s Revenge”.

Maybe this is a sign that “Chinese Democracy” may see the light of day this year?

Anyhow, as far as “Rock Band 2” goes, it sounds like a good set of songs. I don’t think I’ll buy any “Rock Band” video games, I like “Guitar Hero” better. I’ll stick with the “Guitar Hero” franchise, thank you.

Report: Guns N’ Roses to release new song for “Rock Band 2” video game…

According to sources, the band Guns N’ Roses is set to release a new song from their long awaited album “Chinese Democracy” for the upcoming “Rock Band 2” video game set to release this coming September. It appears that Axl Rose himself is a huge fan of the first “Rock Band” video game and he plays it himself. Yep, you heard that right, they will release a song from “Chinese Democracy” even if the album isn’t out yet.

It’s “Rock Band” vs. “Guitar Hero” at war competing with each other and that’s what this is all about. Music video games are becoming a hit and more mainstream in the music business, Axl feels this will be good marketing for “Chinese Democracy”.
