Limp Bizkit Sign With 'Cash Money Records'

  Don't call it a comeback?...again?  Limp Bizkit are going to try another time, this time with hip hop label Cash Money Records.  The label is home to high profile rappers such as Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Bow Wow, Drake, Birdman, and most recently Busta Rhymes.

Lars Ulrich Admits 'Lulu' Failure. (but thinks you will enjoy it in 900 years)

  Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich spoke with D.C. radio station DC101 about the fans reaction to last years colaboration album 'Lulu' with Lou Reed.  He acknowledged the fans negative reaction to the project, saying they needed to experiment to shake up their career.

  "It was difficult for Lou Reed because he takes everything very personally.  And I think he was very suprised.  We told him all along: 'Listen, there are some very, very, very hardcore metal fans out there that like everything pre-packaged in a particular little box that looks like this, and the minute that you slightly veer outside of that, then they have a hernia."

  "The LA Weekly said how the real album of 2011 was 'Lulu', but nobody is gonna recognize it for another 20 years.  In about 900 years from now, people will be able to talk about 'Lulu' face to face with each other without hiding behind masks."

 Metallica is working on a 3D movie, which Ulrich talked about the process.  "Getting your own 3D movie off the ground is easier said than done, but we're doing our best.  We just want to make sure that we don't throw ourselves out into something that gets so completely overwhelming that the whole thing just blows up in our face."

  The movie goes into production this year.


(If your reading this 900 years from now, please pick up 'Lulu and tell us what you think.)

Metallica Defend Their Orion Festival Lineup

   Last month Metallica announced the lineup for their Orion Festival, taking place in an abandoned airport in Atlantic City June 23rd and 24th.  But after the announcement some people weren't happy with the lineup, saying it was to indie rock for their metal audience.

  Now Lars Ulrich is defending the festival, in a interview with Pulse Radio:

  "This whole thing is kind of based more around the classic festivals that we've been playing in Europe for the better part of the last 25, 30 years, which is really about diversity and really about kind of many, many different musical experiences.  Now whether anybody buys into that or not, we'll find out, but there's gonna be lots an lots of cool, heavy stuff, trust me."

   Metallica will play the 'Black Album' and 'Ride the Lightning' in their entirety at the festival.

Slash Reveals Cover Art for 'Apocalyptic Love'

 Slash has revealed the cover art for his new project with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.   His second studio album 'Apocalyptic Love' is set to be released May 22nd, with a US tour beginning May 3rd.

  Slash's 2010 collaboration album appropriately titled 'Slash' was released to very good reviews, and debuted #3 on the Billboard Top 200.  Slash told Rolling Stone magazine why he is more behind the scenes, rather than taking the lead "I'm a band guy.  Everything I touch I turn into a fucking band.  I still have my name on the marquee and everything, but I'm just not a dictator, I don't want to rule anything.

  "I like working in a band atmosphere, I think something about that camaraderie.  I do not want to do it all by myself.  I'm very much a loner in most respects, but when it comes to working with music, whether I'm leading it or not, the last record was very collaborative."

  The new record is again produced by Eric Valentine, and will be released under Slash's own label Dik Hayd.

  Slash and the original members of Guns N' Roses are set to all appear together for the first time in 22 years for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame April 14th.

Updated: Green Day Start Recording New Album

 

  Billie Joe Armstrong revealed on twitter that Green Day has officially started recording their new album.  "Happy Valentine's day!  Officially started recording the new record today.  It's Fuck Time!!!!"

  The band played a new song 'Carpe Diem', during a show in San Francisco November 2011 that immediately made it to the internet.  They have said in recent interviews the new album will move away from the last two records and have a more aggressive sound and be more straightforward.

  The new album when it's released will be the bands ninth.  The American Idiot musical continues to tour, and a movie produced by Tom Hanks is in development.


  UPDATE: Green Day has posted a short clip of their first day in the studio on their YouTube channel. Hopefully this means a documentary is in the works for the new album.

                                          Check out the clip below.

Original Guns N' Roses Lineup To Appear At Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction

  The original Guns N' Roses lineup hasn't appeared on the same stage in over 22 years, but all are expected to be at the April 14th Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony where the band will be inducted.

  Guns N' Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed told Bilboard.com 'I know that all the original band is going to be there.  I don't know exactly what's going to go down.  It's one of those things I'm sure will all come together and be really cool.  I'm just going to go in with a good attitude and a clear head and grateful heart."

  The big question is wether the band will perform that night.  Most of the static in the band comes from the bad blood between lead singer Axl Rose, and guitarist Slash.  Reed said performing hasn't been talked about between the band.  "Honestly, we haven't spoken about it.  I don't know when or why or how to bring it up.  It's not an every day sort of thing.  So we haven't really talked about it - but I'm sure we'll have to at some point."

  If I had to bet I would say it would be a big enough feat to get them in the same room, let alone play on the same stage together.  But if your going to play for the first time on a stage in 22 years, getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while your doing it is a good place to start.

Killswitch Engage Announce "New" Frontman

Killswitch Engage

Killswitch Engage announced today that they have brought back original frontman Jesse Leach. We previously reported Killswitch was on the hunt for a new frontman after Howard Jones suddenly left the band at the beginning of the year.

There were rumors immediately that Leach would be rejoining the band. Those rumors were shot down when Leach himself denied the rumors, and Killswitch held open auditions for the band.

Today the band released the band photo showing Leach back with his old group. Leach was with the band on 2000's self titled album, and 2002's 'Alive or Just Breathing'.

How do you feel about Jesse Leach rejoining the band?

Another one bites the dust: Torrent Giant btjunkie voluntarily shuts down

Monday, February 6, 2012


Popular torrent site, btjunkie.org, voluntarily shut its operation down today, abandoning nearly a decade of file sharing history.
It has been assumed the move was a reaction to avoid being the next target of the latest of federal crack downs which have already laid out Torrent sites PirateBay and Megaupload. "we've been fighting for years for your right to communicate, but it's time to move on." says the British based .org site. Insinuating the move has been in response to what I can only imagine being an overwhelming encumbrance in midst of the recent crackdown that has left a wake of legal issues for sites already facing prosecution.
Is this another sign that pirated Music has seen the end of days and the music industry can go back to charging $20 for a CD they pay 5 cents to make (including the royalties they pay artists) or will illegal pirated media find itself a new outlet? One thing is certain, the industry is not giving up on its fight, for its right. to gouging.

Dave Grohl Backing Sitcom About Band In Therapy

Alright we know, there is a lot of Dave Grohl news on here lately. But you have to admit, the dude can't be stopped. Working a new Foo Fighters album, producing other bands projects, making documentaries, taking backstage and drumming on other band projects, and now... Executive producer on a tv series?

Deadline Hollywood reports Grohl got involved with star and creator Dana Gould about a rock band that is about to make it big, and on the verge of breaking up. So the members take to therapy to work out their band issues. Think in the line of Metallica's 'Some Kind Of Monster'.

Just looking at who is involved, the little we know looks promising. And did we mention it's going to air on FX? They have a pretty damn solid track record for quality programming.

Death Grips - Exmilitary; review

 

You want real? Death Grips puts you there.Sacto project Death Grips give you no room to squirm. The brilliance Zach Hill brings to the table with the full length Exmilitary is without question influential. If you did yourself a favor and took a look at this years Coachella lineup you may have come across a few unfamiliar names. Just because its grossly overlooked though, doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying attention. Exmilitary can be downloaded from the the Death Grips site for free, likely because there is no way commercial interests could comprehend what the fuck is going on here. What may come off at first as the sound track to the infamous bum fights is truly a soundtrack that could bring culture to its knees. 

With dynamics reminiscent of Brotha Lynch Hung, Bjork, Mars Volta, Skrillex and a million other brilliant artists and sound masters, the work begins with an enlistment of a Charles Manson sample to kick off the full length, Exmilitary, in which Manson rambles about power in the psycho babble style that allured the drug sick followers that led to the gruesome murders they carried out. Yes, let that be the mood that sets the tone. Step by step, Exmilitary walks you thru a true testimonial of not giving a fuck. With lyrics as dark as human sacrifice to oddities that touch on topics as out there as mind expansion to the 5th dimension. This is not work that disappoints or for the faint. 

If you have the grit to not be a cliche pop consumer and brave work as raw as this, then down load Exmilitary from Death Grips now  download full
