BREAKING NEWS: Led Zeppelin will never use their music for videogames…

Leave a comment

If you’ve been wondering why Led Zeppelin has never used any of their songs for the earlier Guitar Hero games or Rock Band, it’s because the band refuses to allow any videogames use their music.

So if you’re expecting Led Zeppelin to release their own Guitar Hero like Aerosmith did, don’t get your hopes up, because it looks like it will never happen.

I guess I was wrong when I said the band would want to do something like this.

Man this blows.

I can understand why, it’s their music, their copyright, bands do what they want with their music.

Maybe Jimmy Page will have a change of heart toward the videogames down the road, but I doubt it. The band probably knows nothing about video games since video games weren’t even around back in the bands hey day.

Report: The Mysterious David Lee Roth “dying” over nuts case solved…

Leave a comment

Well, look like the two cops has nothing to do with starting the rumour of David Lee Roth almost dying from eating nuts. David Lee Roth has an imposter, a guy that looks almost exactly like him, and pretending to be him. The man posing as David Lee Roth appears to be a scammer.

Report: Snoop Dogg remixes Johnny Cash “I Walk the Line” into a rap song…

Leave a comment

There is a Johnny Cash tribute album in the works that will be done by rap and dance/techno artists. The artists will take Johnny Cash’s vocals and remix them into rap and dance songs. The name of the album is titled “Johnny Cash Remixed” scheduled to hit stores everywhere Oct. 14th.

Snoop Dogg does a remix and cover of Johnny Cash’s song “I Walk the Line”. Snoop says he is a huge fan of Johnny Cash’s music and a big inspiration to his own music. He also says if you listen to country music very closely and carefully, it is very similar to rap/hip hop.

Billboard reports:

Snoop is right that rap is similar to country. Why do you think Kid Rock is able to mix rap and country together? Think about it.

I’m looking forward to hearing Snoop’s version of “I Walk the Line”.

Report: David Lee Roth to news media, “Stop making shit up about me…”

Leave a comment

David Lee Roth tells TMZ that he is perfectly fine. He says that him being allergic to nuts is bullshit and made up stories. He was in Canada for a Van Halen concert. He had no encounters or incidents with the police and he was not rushed to the hospital.

TMZ reports:

The internet is an easy way to start rumours on one person. Will Dave file a slander/libel lawsuit on those two cops that started these lies?

Report: Metallica to release box set of “Death Magnetic”…

2 Comments

The boys in Metallica announced the news that the band will release a box set edition of their new album “Death Magnetic” set to hit stores in September. The box set will include all kinds of goodies like the new “Death Magnetic” album will of course be in it, also a disc of demos, a behind the scenes DVD the making of the album, a Metallica t-shirt, flag, guitar picks and all sorts of stuff.

The box set is mainly made for the longtime hardcore fans who still support the band to this day. I’m sure the regular “Death Magnetic” studio album will be released without the box setting too.

Billboard reports:

I’ll probably just get the regular CD, I don’t need that box set. I love Metallica but I’m not that much of a die hard.

Report: Scott Weiland hangs out at Club Hot Shots in Glens Falls after a concert…

Leave a comment

Stone Temple Pilots recently just played a concert at the Glens Falls Civic Center in Glens Falls, N.Y. Right after the show, Scott Weiland decided to hang out at Club Hot Shots sports bar and restaurant for a bite to eat, a couple of drinks and to relax after a gig. While Weiland seems very nice to people, he was willing to pose pics and sign autographs for fans in the small club in Glens Falls.

Don’t believe me that Scott Weiland was there at Hot Shots? Here are a few pics to prove it, Scott is the one wearing the baseball cap with the white long hair…it was just Scott at Hot Shots…Dean, Robert, and Eric were not there.

Look like Hot Shots is starting to be a favorite bar hangout for famous rock stars when they play the Civic Center. Cool.

While Scott may be a druggie and alcoholic, he does seem like a real nice guy.

Cool Video: Me performing Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets” cover acoustically…

Leave a comment

Well well well, I never noticed this video been in youtube. Somebody else uploaded this in youtube without my knowledgement! How cool is that!

This seems to be a popular cover tune of mine. I plan to re-learn this song ’cause I haven’t played this tune in so long.

Now someone has the video that I don’t have anymore, I’ll put this video in my own account too so it can get more hits and views. I remember this Caffe Lena performance, it was a couple of years ago, it was a crowded and packed night as you can hear the loud crowd during the performance.

I know some out there has been wanting this video back online, and by popular demand, here it is, enjoy.

Report: Tenacious D planning new album…

Leave a comment

Kyle Gass spoke to Billboard.com and revealed the news that he and Jack are planning a new album. They want it to be a follow up to the movie soundtrack “The Pick of Destiny”. But don’t expect them to finish and release the new album anytime soon, they want to take their time with it and make it a really good one. They want to make the next one a hit.

Billboard reports:

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003825386

These guys write a lot of songs about “cock sucking”. The “Pick of Destiny” soundtrack is all about that really. Hope the next one will be different and they shouldn’t overdo the “cock sucking” lyrics in the songs.

I enjoy Jack and Kyle, but they need to write about different stuff.

Report: David Lee Roth almost dies over nuts? Huh?

Leave a comment

Don’t get the wrong idea about the word “nuts”. I don’t think they are reffering to a man’s testicles. They are referring to the snack that you eat. David Lee Roth the current singer for Van Halen is allergic to nuts. He was driving himself to the hospital and he was speeding. When cops chased after him and finally pulled him over, the cops realized he was in a anaphylactic shock.

The two police officers never realized he was “David Lee Roth” from Van Halen and took them a while to figure out it was really him. The officers called the ambulance after noticing the rock singer was in trouble and was very sick.

David Lee Roth was immediately rushed to the hospital. The officers weren’t star struck over him, they were just trying to save his life as they would do to other innocent people. Just doing their job.

More on it here:

David must of ate a bowl of ice cream or a candy bar when he didn’t realize that had nuts in it.

I know many people out there don’t like nuts in snack foods like myself, but I never heard of people being allergic to nuts.

Very weird. And glad David survived and is ok.
