I'm pretty sure I've had a crush on Tori Amos since the day I was born. Her song, 'Winter,' is one of the most beautiful, most haunting songs I've ever heard. Her haunting voice, mixed with her melodic piano creates an ambiance that never fails to give me chills. So naturally, Nirvana's arguably most popular song would be covered by her...or something. Whatever. At the risk of sounding sacreligious, I actually like this better than the original...Be gentle.
Basically every musical style in the world can somehow be traced back to Blues. And, in my humble opinion, the granddaddy of the Blues scene is Robert Johnson. Dude was a genius, and so before his time. The mythology behind him is super interesting too. Did he ACTUALLY go down to the crossroads and sell his soul to the devil? We'll never know. But his song, 'Crossoads,' is one of the greatest blues songs of all time.
It’s one of the worst-kept secrets in all of New Jersey. Every year, the Light of Day organization holds a benefit concert at the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park to raise money for the fight against Parkinson’s disease, and (almost) every year Bruce Springsteen is a super secret unannounced special guest. It’s the reason this year’s show sold out in minutes — even when tickets had a face value upwards of $400.
Velvet Revolver covered Pink Floyd‘s ‘Wish You Were Here’ as part of a special four song, one-off reunion concert in West Hollywood, Calif. last night (Jan. 12).
As the lineup for the 2012 Experience Hendrix tribute tour has expanded, so has the number of dates for the annual concert trek honoring the late, great Jimi Hendrix.
This year’s edition is now up to 21 dates, including recently added concert stops in Florida and Colorado, plus a second show in Austin, Texas.
After being forced to have his lower right leg amputated as a result of diabetes complications last year, guitar legend Leslie West, 66, was forced to cancel a tour — not because he was unable to perform, but because he didn’t have transportation equipped for a wheelchair.
But now, thanks to an incredibly generous gift from The Vehicle Production Group, those worries are behind him.
This lineup for this spring’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. wasn’t finalized until after Black Sabbath made a stunning announcement earlier this week. Billboard reports that Tony Iommi‘s ly
Jane’s Addiction has announced a North American tour to support their new album ‘The Great Escape Artist.’
In this new feature, we will be featuring bands and individuals who are covering other bands or individuals. There's really no basis for the qualification, other than whether we like them or not. In this first video, Indie-Rockish 30 Seconds To Mars covers 'Message In A Bottle' by legendary band The Police. The original song is fantastic, and the cover holds up as well. Plus, Jared Leto is a super good looking dude. In a totally heterosexual way. We've gotta please the ladies that visit this site too, chu know??
Much like they did for the 2007-08 reunion tour, Van Halen has crossed genres in selecting an opening act for their 2012 tour. According to Rolling Stone, none other than Kool and the Gang will open select shows when things kick off on Feb. 18 in Louisville, Ken.
While the choice is somewhat of a head-scratcher, the unconventional pairing could be a lot of fun, depending on which set Kool bring, the funk of the ’70s (check out ‘Spirit of the Boogie‘) or the less memorable R&B of the ’80s (‘Joanna‘).
