New Sharon Jones Video!
Nov 2, 2007 Concert Tour, Music, Music Artists, Music Videos, New Single, News, Sharon Jones, Singers, Soul Music
Sharon Jones, who recently released 100 Days, 100 Nights, a definite contender for one of the year’s top albums, has just premiered the video for the title track, a song that shows off the more soulful direction the singer has taken on the record. The video, which was shot for $50, looks like it’s straight from 1960s television, in blurry black-and-white, the band on risers behind her as Jones herself takes center stage.
If you haven’t seen Jones and her band, the Dap-Kings (who’ve also worked with Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson, including in this video), live in action, you’ll soon have your chance. The diminutive 51-year-old singer is just about to start a tour, and if it’s anything like her past ones (besides the excellent, and very funky, musicianship, last year she danced with fans on-stage and played a James Brown medley, among other things), it’s definitely worth checking out.

Why Lil Wayne Flaked
Oct 26, 2007 Concert Tour, Lil Wayne, Music Artists, Rap Music
Lil Wayne was a no show for a show at a high school in North Carolina a few nights ago. TMZ got an exclusive with Charles ‘Duke’ Lineberry Jr., the attorney for Mitchell Entertainment Group who promoted the concert in hopes to shed some light on why the rapper flaked.
The concert was promoted as a ‘Stop the Violence’ event and was set up because of 8 gang-related murders in the small community of Wilmington, North Carolina. Lil Wayne was the so-called headliner with ministers and local celebrities taking the stage to speak out against violence.
A crowd of around 3,000 was expected but only about 1,000 people showed up. There are multiple reasons for the small crowd which includes Lil Wayne’s recent legal troubles and that the rescheduling of the concert made people lose interest.
Madonna Plans Another World Tour
Sep 26, 2007 Concert Tour, Madonna, Music, Music Artists, Performance, Pop Music, Tickets Sale
The Queen of pop is planning another world tour next year to celebrate turning 50. Madonna, who turns 50 next August, will call the tour “Madonna at 50.” I would never pay that much money for tickets to see her. I think it’s messed up that she charges that much. Plus the fact that she does stuff just to piss people off bugs me. I don’t care that she was on a cross for part of her performance I care that she did it just to cause shit and piss people off. I can’t stand this lady anymore. I saw her in Hartford Ct. Why to pricey no air condition she was not that good she spent 1/2 the time changing cloths maybe showering it was so hot. And her back up dancers did alot of stuff I paid to see her not them. Plus she was preaching. I would see Justin Timberlake Again he rocked the HOLE time….
50 Cent Lost
Sep 18, 2007 50 Cent, Album, Concert Tour, Famous People, Kanye West, Music Artists, Photography, Rap Music
If he’s a man of his word, 50 Cent would be announcing his retirement any day now. The votes are in when it comes to the UK because their new album chart says that Kanye West’s new album ‘Graduation’ is the #1 album on the other side of the Atlantic. 50 Cent’s album ‘Curtis’ came in at the runner up position.
50 is also expected to lose to Kanye in the US as Kanye’s album is predicted to outsell 50’s by 200,000 units. But 50 might find a way out of retirement by making up some blatant lie.
But then again, 50 might have also felt the heat from Kanye’s victory as he has cancelled his European tour which was supposed to kick off this weekend. Wow!
Jennifer Lopez; New Album “Brave”
Sep 15, 2007 Album, Concert Tour, Famous People, Jennifer Lopez, Music, Music Artists, Photography, Pop Music
Jennifer Lopez has released some promo shots for her upcoming album ‘Brave’ which is due out on October 9.
When asked to comment about the sound of her new album, Jennifer said that “This album is more of what people and my fans are used to. You know, just kind of dance, funk, R&B, hip-hop, all that stuff, all mixed up together to make some great pop music.” It sounds more like she’s trying to be the female Justin Timberlake if you ask me.
Later on in the month, Jennifer and her husband Marc Anthony will co-headline a worldwide tour which will kick off in New Jersey on September 29.
Demand For Led Zeppelin Tickets Crashes Site
Sep 13, 2007 Concert Tour, Famous People, Music, Music Bands, News, Photography, Reunion, Tickets Sale
Led Zeppelin’s announcement of a one-off reunion show has caused the concert’s official website to crash – as millions of fans across the world rush to register their names for the ticket ballot. This is an incredible event that I bet no-one even imagined could happen. I thought that Led Zep was History! But these guys have an uncanny knack of dong the unthinkable when you think they are done with for good and the least expected. Anyways, what a nice thing to do for a friend or loved one. That’s absolutely Cool! Well done Guys You show what compassion means by actions. And what a great action. I have some words for these sites owners too, may be they just didn’t expect such a great response from the fans but still they should have had arrangements in place for such an event. I haven’t heard of a site break down in years, means like what could have been so drastic that the site stopped functioning.
My Chemical wedding

It is reported that My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way has married his girlfriend, ‘Lyn Z,’ bassist in the band Mindless Self Indulgence.
The low-budget ceremony is purported to have taken place backstage on Monday (September 3), after the band supported Linkin Park at the Projekt Revolution concert in Denver, Colorado.
The ceremony was apparently overseen by an official from concert promoters Live Nation, who also happened to be an ordained minister.
The reported marriage makes Way the second member of My Chemical Romance to get married in 2007. Earlier this year, Way’s brother and band mate, Mikey, also tied the knot.
Most Popular albums of My Chemical Romance are Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge,I ‘m Not Okay(I Promise),I Brought You My Bullets,You Brought Me Your Love.
More Troubles For Ozzfest
Aug 30, 2007 Concert Tour, Famous People, Music, Music Artists, Rock, Rumor, TV Show
Ozzy Osbourne’s touring Ozzfest show has been marred by another controversy after an off-duty police officer was attacked while trying to make an arrest on Tuesday night. According to North Carolina police, one officer suffered minor injuries in a scuffle at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre show in Charlotte, where he was working as a security guard. The crowds at these concerts are so unruly and badly behaved that either there should limited entry or adequate security arrangements should be put in place before there is any confirmation on the concert taking place. But police officials insist this was one incident during an otherwise trouble-free event. Hey like if the police do not have problems tackling these maniacs then I should not be saying this, all you boys and girls go out there and have a ball. Smash some window panes and rip off the concert coz the police ain’t fear struck of you.
Van Halen and David Lee Roth announce tour.
Aug 14, 2007 Concert Tour, Famous People, Metal Music, Music, Music Artists, Music Bands, Music Videos, New Single, Reunion, Song
They’re in their 50s now, and they’ve traded their long heavy-metal locks for close-cropped cuts, but the original members of Van Halen are back in business and promise that they’re better than ever.
“Usually, when a band comes back like us, it’s rockers with walkers,” frontman David Lee Roth told reporters at the Four Seasons Hotel here on Monday. “This is anything but.”
Van Halen held a press conference to announce a 25-date concert tour beginning Sept. 27 in Charlotte, N.C. The re-formed group features three original members Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen along with Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang, on bass.
“This is not a reunion,” said Roth, 51. “This is a whole new band.”
“It is totally blowing our minds and I think it will yours, too,” said Eddie Van Halen, 52. “It’s better than it’s ever been.”
With its flamboyant frontman, “Diamond Dave,” Van Halen was one of the most popular rock bands of the 1980s. But the group split up in 1985 and the original lineup hasn’t performed together since.
“I’m shocked any of us are still vertical,” Roth quipped.
He and Eddie Van Halen insisted that the band’s reunion isn’t just a one-tour deal. After performing throughout North America, Van Halen plans to hit Asia and Australia.
“Then we make an album,” Roth said, adding that the group has “lots of dreams, lots of ambitions.”
“We really have re-formed this team like a brother team that it never was before,” he said.
Wolfgang Van Halen, 16, brings “a young energy and a spirit” to the band, Roth said, adding that the teenage rocker chose the tour’s song list, which features “close to 25 of your greatest hits.”
“You know every single song, you know every guitar lick, every woo, every kick, every jump, every drum lick,” he said. “We can’t afford to shirk that duty.”
The band has been rehearsing since October and plans to exceed fans’ expectations, Roth said.
Lily Allen Cancels Gigs Over Illness
Aug 11, 2007 Concert Tour, Drugs, Famous People, Lily Allen, Music, Music Artists, Rumor, Song, TV Show
British pop star Lily Allen has disappointed fans by canceling a series of upcoming gigs across Europe after falling victim to illness. The Smile singer was due to play four dates later this month, but has been forced to pull out of any performances while she recovers from sinusitis – a condition she believes has been caused by excessive world travel. Posting on her MySpace blog – accompanied by a photo of her holding a doctor’s note – she writes, “I’ve literally been around the whole world in two weeks from London to Japan around Australia and then to LA and Vegas then back to LA for a 17 hour video shoot. That docs prescription is a fake, she is suffering from a thing called ‘exhaustion’ something that is literally similar to what Amy Winehouse is suffering from and all these girls from Paris to Lindsay to Amy to Lilly all have the same drugs problems and none will tell us so. They just don’t have the energy to carry themselves for a week and anything above a week of hard work makes them awfully tired. All of them are a bunch of drug addicts.
Williams Is ‘Depressed’ By Cracked Rib
Aug 6, 2007 Concert Tour, Famous People, Music, Music Artists, Robbie Williams, Rumor
British pop star is feeling depressed after suffering a broken rib in a recent boxing match – because the injury means he is unable to play soccer for the next three months. Ha Ha I’d rather be devastated than gutted. Can’t play soccer for three month’s poor baby by the look of him in the picture above he look’s happy as a pig in X@@##!. What the hell is the problem with this guy, why can’t anyone throw him into a mental asylum? He sees God at times and then has all sorts of problems that if revealed could just destroy his image. The sight him is a depression to me and if you ever ask him the truth then he could candidly admit that he himself has a depression upon seeing in the mirror. For me, talking or writing about this chap is pure waste of time. So I better stop right here right now.
Christina Aguilera Cancels New Zealand Leg Of Tour
Aug 4, 2007 Concert Tour, Famous People, Music, Music Artists, Rumor
These girls are so doll like things that take them out for a stroll in the park outside their protective areas and they will catch infections. She just couldn’t have made the whole tour without falling ill at some point of time. They liked to nested in their surroundings and are so prone to fall sick at the first instance of being out of the hibernation. She says that unfortunately she couldn’t recover in time and can’t wait till then next time to have chance to perform in New Zealand. But the benefit of doubt can be passed onto her as she is rumored to be pregnant with husband Jordan Bratman’s baby and still on tour which I think is commendable under the circumstances. Never mind babes, there’s always a second chance and we sincerely hope that you keep in good health coz health is wealth. But who am I telling all this to, these stars care a damn about health issue, there are all addicts in some or the other way.
Gwen Stefani Cancels Malaysian Show
Aug 3, 2007 Concert Tour, Famous People, Gwen Stefani, Music, Music Artists, Music Bands, News, Song, TV Show
Some of the latest news coming out of the Gwen Stefani camp is that she may have to cancel a Malaysian show date. Her Sweet Escape tour is scheduled to pass through Malaysia but have to cancel. A Muslim group has branded the pop star as indecent and obscene and they believe that she offends Islamic beliefs. The video clips used to promote the event were deemed too racy. I find it shocking that nobody does their homework anymore. Travelling to those countries involves a level of research. They have so many different ways and beliefs and if you aren’t aware of them, you run the risk of insulting people. Remember when Cameron Diaz did it with her bag? Hollywood has gotten so cocky that they seem to think they are accepted as they are everywhere, but the reality is they are only accepted in Hollywood itself. A concert cancellation is being let off easy. Some countries may have stoned her.
Queensryche’s next album offers social commentary
Aug 2, 2007 Album, Concert Tour, Famous People, Metal Music, Music Artists, Music Bands, Song
Progressive metal band Queensryche has begun working on the follow-up to last year’s “Operation: Mindcrime II” in Seattle.
Frontman Geoff Tate tells Billboard.com he hopes the as-yet-untitled set will arrive next summer or fall.
“We’re just into the first couple months of writing for it, and it’s a theme record. It’s based on modern American life, sort of a social commentary,” Tate says. “Musically it’s very adventurous for us. It’s something we haven’t done before. It’s going to take a lot of people by surprise, and at the same time I think they’re going to be very intrigued by the concept of it.”
The band, which hits the road in September with Heaven And Hell and Alice Cooper, will release “Sign of the Times,” its second greatest-hits collection on EMI, prior to the tour. Among hits like “Walk in the Shadows” and “Silent Lucidity,” the two-disc set contains rarities like songs from Myth, the band Tate sang in before joining Queensryche, that later became demos for early QR tunes like “No Sanctuary.”
“Sign of the Times” also includes a recent interview with Tate and former Queensryche guitarist Chris DeGarmo. In it Tate says he and DeGarmo hang out often and write together, but the musical work they’ve done is on a “casual” basis.
Meanwhile, Queensryche is enjoying the success of its double-CD/DVD package “Mindcrime at the Moore.” The live set captures the band playing both “Mindcrime” albums in their entirety on tour last year. Released July 3, the title debuted at a career-best No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Music DVD chart.
Mom Sheryl Crow
Jul 30, 2007 Concert Tour, Famous People, Music, Music Artists, News
Mom Sheryl Crow waits offstage as hired nanny Marva keeps her 3-month old adopted son Wyatt at bay. He’s quieted with a pacifier at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago on Saturday. Sheryl also put on some noise-canceling headphones on baby Wyatt to keep the kid from going deaf as she performed on stage with Eric Clapton.
But it seems to me that the noise should be the least of her worries. Does anyone else think that baby Wyatt looks tortured? And why does nanny Marva look like she doesn’t give a damn? Mommy needs to figure something out and fast.
