AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Although the band are commonly classified as hard rock and are considered a pioneer of heavy metal,[1][2] they have always classified their music as rock and roll.[3]

AC/DC underwent several line-up changes before releasing their first album, High Voltage, in 1975. Membership remained stable until bassist Mark Evans was replaced by Cliff Williams in 1977 for the album Powerage. Within months of recording the album Highway to Hell, lead singer and co-songwriter Bon Scott died on 19 February 1980, after a night of heavy alcohol consumption. The group briefly considered disbanding, but soon ex-Geordie singer Brian Johnson was selected to replace Scott. Later that year, the band released their highest selling album, Back in Black.The band's next album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You, was their first album to reach number one in the United States. AC/DC declined in popularity soon after drummer Phil Rudd was fired in 1983 and was replaced by future Dio drummer Simon Wright, though the band resurged in the early 1990s with the release of The Razor's Edge. Phil Rudd returned in 1994 (after Chris Slade, who was with the band from 1990–1994, was asked to leave in favour of him) and contributed to the band's 1995 album Ballbreaker. Stiff Upper Lip was released in 2000 and was well received by critics. Since then, the band has stayed the same with the 1980-1983 lineup. The band's most recent album, Black Ice, was released on 20 October 2008. It was their biggest hit on the charts since "For Those About to Rock, reaching #1 on all the charts eventually.[4] AC/DC's newest studio album, AC/DC: Iron Man 2 is set to release on April 19, 2010.As of 2008, AC/DC have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide,[5] including 71 million albums in the United States.[6] Back in Black has sold an estimated 49 million units worldwide, making it the highest-selling album by any band and the 2nd highest-selling album in history, behind Thriller by Michael Jackson.[7] The album has sold 22 million in the US alone, where it is the fifth-highest-selling album.[8] AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock"[9][10] and was named the seventh "Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time" by MTV.[11] In 2004, the band was ranked number 72 in the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time

The trio consisted of Sting (lead vocals, bass guitar), Andy Summers (guitar, vocals) and Stewart Copeland (drums, vocals, percussion).

The band broke up in 1984, but reunited in early 2007 for a one-off world tour lasting until August 2008, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their hit single "Roxanne" and also, to a lesser extent, their formation as a group.

Shakira and Freshlyground sing Official FIFA World Cup

2010-07-11T15:45:00.000-07:00

Others

FIFA and Sony have chosen Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) as the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. The song was written by Shakira, the world-famous singer from Latin America, who will perform with South African band Freshlyground.

Once again, the announcement of the official FIFA World Cup™ song was keenly awaited. Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) is the name of the new football anthem, and with its rhythmical African sounds, the song represents the vitality and energy of the host continent. South African guitars back up the Afro-Colombian rhythm and Soca beat. The chorus is similar to that of a popular Cameroon song made famous by Golden Voices in particular.

FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter is delighted with the new FIFA World Cup Song: “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) represents what we football fans can expect in South Africa: liveliness, power and dynamism. It represents the four-week festival of football we are about to witness in South Africa. Nothing represents the joy of football better than music, especially when it is a song so full of energy and dynamism like Waka Waka.”

Shakira will perform the song with the famous South African band Freshlyground. “I am honoured that Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) has been chosen to be part of the excitement and the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup,” said Shakira. “The FIFA World Cup is a miracle of global excitement, connecting every country, race, religion and condition around a single passion. It represents an event that has the power to unite and integrate, and that’s what this song is about.”

“We are thrilled to have collaborated with Shakira on Waka Waka (This Time For Africa), especially as we feel that the song captures the spirit and energy of the African FIFA World Cup,” said Zolani Mahola of Freshlyground. “We are certain that the song will inspire people around the world to celebrate the gathering of nations at the place where it all started. Here in Africa!”

All proceeds from the single as well as from the “Listen Up: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Album” will be donated to the 20 Centres for 2010 campaign. The aim of the official campaign of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ is to achieve positive social change through football by building 20 Football for Hope Centres in Africa to offer education and healthcare services as well as football training.

FIFA and Sony Music have enjoyed a successful partnership in the official music programme ever since 1994. The tradition of an official song dates back to the 1966 FIFA World Cup™ in England with a song for the first Official Mascot, “World Cup Willie”, who was a lion. Ever since, the official music programme and the Official Mascot have become a more and more significant component of the event, providing an excellent opportunity for more than just football fans to identify with the world’s biggest single-sport event.

Official songs at recent FIFA World Cup™ competitions have included Un’estate italiana by Edoardo Bennato and Gianna Nannini in 1990, Gloryland by Daryl Hall with Sounds of Blackness in 1994, and La Copa de la Vida by Ricky Martin in 1998. In 2002, the official song was Boom by Anastacia, while Vangelis’ vocal official anthem featured typical Korean and Japanese sonic elements. In 2006, The Time of Our Lives by the Il Divo quartet was a resounding success.

New Music From: Robbie Williams, Diddy, Jessica Simpson -Ciara

2010-06-26T07:40:00.000-07:00

I'm kinda busy right now, so I can't do extensive, insightful comments for each of the songs. Let's keep it short and sweet. You do know what you want to download, right?

Robbie Williams - Lovelight: Lewis Taylor cover. Second single. Next step of Robbie's reinvention as the new electro white dude.

Diddy feat. Christina Aguilera - Tell Me (Radio Rip): A radio rip, but very high quality. Don't care for Diddy, it's Christina that stole the show here. Better than that dreadful 'Come To me' for sure.

Jessica Simpson - I Belong To Me (Single Version): It wasn't much different from the album version, it just got rid of the tinkly strings in the chorus. The beats rip off those of Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together', clearly. Weird choice for a second single, as the song's kinda boring. Nothing special.

Ciara - Promise (AOL Web Rip): An r&b ballad, produced by Polow Da Don. Wasn't what I expected from her, she's way better when she does the upbeat, crunky songs than slow jams. This will be the next single off her second album entitled 'Ciara: The Evolution'.

Saturday Is For Soundtrack: Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Part 1: Choice Cuts

2010-06-19T04:21:00.000-07:00

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is one of the best tv series I've seen. I can say that without hesitating. Drama, comedy, horror, action, adventure...the show's a blend of it all, with an outstanding cast. I feel bad that I didn't have the chance to watch it since the beginning. I was just surfing channels when I found out that they're having reruns at weekdays, and I was just clued to the tv screen, five times a week, for 7 seasons. Joss Whedon's the man.
Not only does the show provide great action and well-written dialogue, but the music selection is also quite phenomenal. That's why I decided to post a 4-part focus on songs used on Buffy. First part's about those songs played at the most memorable moments of the show.

Sarah McLachlan - Full Of Grace
Sarah McLachlan to Buffy is like Imogen Heap to The O.C. Her music only gets featured at the climacic end in season finales. And her song worked so well that every time I listened to it, I thought of the scenes. So this was played in the season 2 finale episode 'Becoming, Part 2', after Buffy killed her lover Angel and decided to leave Sunnydale. Sarah just does what she does best: singing heartfelt piano ballads that can move you to tears in a cold night if you're really in the mood. Beautifully-crafted song.

Sarah McLachlan - Prayer Of Saint Francis
Sarah's music returned to Buffy with this rarity, played at the season 6 finale 'Grave'. Although it's not as outstandingly good as 'Full Of Grace', it's still a short, bittersweet, melodic song, and really helped capture the moment.

The Sundays - Wild Horses
What I like about Buffy's song selections is that they don't simply choose new songs to promore artists who are having fresh new cds in stores. They choose what suits the moments best. This is a gem 1992 cover of the Rolling Stones' classic by a duo called The Sundays. It was played in episode 'The Prom' in season 3, when Buffy was having the last dance with Angel before he left town, and before she faced with the apocalypse at graduation day. This might not be the best cover version, but I love it for what it is. The acoustic arrangements are beautiful, and the female lead vocals sound so honest and fragile. It's a great choice for the prom's slow dance.

Next part: Some cool tracks off the soundtrack cd 'Radio Sunnydale'.

***Off topic: Oh, today, at a scholarship award ceremony, I saw the girl whom I used to have a crush on in my elementary school days. I think she didn't see, though. Didn't have the nerve to walk up and talk to her, for I was quite sure she wouldn't remember me. She still looks the same, like she did ten years ago. Wo, sweet brief moment there.

Pop Comeback: All Saints - RockSteady

2010-06-15T16:00:00.000-07:00

I was not much of a fan of All Saints back then. I really do love some of their synth pop singles like 'Black Coffee' and 'Pure Shores', but I wasn't a music junkie like I am these days.So, the deal is, after solo attempt failures, they're back. With an uptempo pop single that doesn't really sound like the 'old' them. From the first listen, I can get why PopJustice is all over it, and yes, the song's quite catchy. I think it gets better after repeated listens. Another comeback worth looking out for. Check their new song out, it's called 'Rocksteady'.

Mike Shinoda Biography and Picture

2010-06-08T14:55:00.000-07:00

Mike Shinoda was born February 11, 1977. his full name us Michael Kenji Shinoda. is a Japanese American musician, record producer, and artist from Agoura Hills, California. His father is Japanese American. He is best known as the rapper, keyboardist, backing vocalist and rhythm guitarist of Linkin Park, and his side project, Fort Minor. He also provides artwork, production and mixing for both groups.
Biography
Mike Shinoda was raised in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills.
He first wanted to play music during his middle and high school years, he has started to play on different music tools like piano and took lessons on them. He attended Parkman Elementary and Lindero Canyon Middle School. After that, he began taking piano lessons, studying classical pianist techniques, and later moved on to jazz and hip hop. It was during this period that he added the guitar and, eventually, rap-style vocals to his repertoire.
After his teens, Mike Shinoda's rap interests found a source of encouragement in friend Brad Delson, with whom he started to write and record songs in a makeshift studio set up in his basement. Shinoda attended Agoura High School with Linkin Park bandmate Brad Delson, as well as with members of the band Hoobastank. By the end of high school, drummer Rob Bourdon had become involved in their musical ventures. The trio formed the band Xero, and began to make a more serious attempt to pursue a career in the music industry. Chester Bennington came along a few years later.
After high school, Shinoda enrolled in the Art Center College of Design to study graphic design and illustrationIt was here that he made the acquaintance of DJ and turntablist Joseph Hahn, who, along with Delson's college-mate Phoenix, was soon added to Xero's line-up. Shinoda eventually graduated from college with a degree in illustration, securing himself a job as a graphic designer right after graduation. With his background as a graphic artist, Shinoda has taken it upon himself in designing all of Linkin Park's artwork with Hahn, and has even designed the album cover for Styles of Beyond's debut album, 2000 Fold. In later years he would go on to showcase his art skills;[citation needed] he had his debut art showcase at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles in the time leading up to Linkin Park's album Minutes to Midnight.

Linkin Park
Shinoda's band (at this point called Hybrid Theory) brought in second vocalist Chester Bennington, replacing Mark Wakefield. From the onset, Shinoda was closely involved in the technical aspects of the band's recordings, and over the subsequent releases that role continued to expand. The first song they sang was "Crawling". Shinoda, with guitarist Brad Delson, engineered and produced the band's Hybrid Theory EP, and performed similar roles in the recording of the Hybrid Theory album. Mike executive organized and oversaw the band's remix album Reanimation (2002), contributing his own production remixes that he made in his home studio for "Crawling" and "Pushing Me Away." In his spare time, he produced and performed on a song by The X-Ecutioners entitled "It's Goin' Down."
On the second Linkin Park Warner Bros. studio release Meteora (2003) Shinoda continued to expand upon his duties as a musician and studio technician/engineer. Additionally, for the backbone of the album artwork, Shinoda collaborated with graffiti artist DELTA, graphic designer Frank Maddocks, and band-mate Joe Hahn.
By the release of the Linkin Park and Jay-Z 'mash-up' album Collision Course in 2004, Shinoda's involvement in the creation of the albums continued to grow. He produced and mixed the album, which won a Grammy Award for "best rap / sung collaboration" later that year.
The band released their latest album, Minutes to Midnight, on May 15, 2007. On this album, Shinoda shared a production credit with producer Rick Rubin, overseeing the musical evolution of the band's sound. This album was also the first time that Shinoda, best known for his rapping, sang a featured vocal. Mike sang on the songs "In Between", "Hands Held High" and the b-side song, "No Roads Left". Despite of the uncommonness of Shinoda-fronted singing tracks, Hit Parader ranked Mike at number 72 of the Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time.

Queen are an English rock band formed in 1970 in London by guitarist Brian May, lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, and drummer Roger Taylor, with bassist John Deacon joining the following year.

Another One Bites The Dust is one of several songs from the era that a few religious fundamentalists accused of using backmasking — a backwards recorded message intented to influence the listener subliminally. It was suggested that the message “It is fun to smoke marijuana” could be heard when playing the single backward.

The Best of 80s Hair Metal Bands

2010-02-28T08:23:00.000-08:00

Who could forget the metal bands from the 80s and early 90s with that big hair? The hair style alone made a stand out fashion statement. The music was big, flashy, and glamorous just like the hair of the band members. This particular type of heavy metal was very popular in California near the Los Angeles and Sunset Strip areas. The music is characterized by long solo guitar rifts also called shred guitar and hard rock with a mix of pop.

Hair metals bands not only made great music, they made an impact on our culture by introducing a new way of life. Band members weren't happy with sitting around, hanging out, and producing hits. They had to party as if tomorrow would never come and dress to the nines with big teased hair, makeup, and over accessorizing. Their late night parties were infamous, and you could also read about a band member creating some scandal in a tabloid magazine.

If you aren't quite sure what bands are classified as hair metal bands, here is a small list that will explain or spark some memories from "the good old days."

Guns N' Roses consisted of band members Axl Rose, Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Richard Fortus, Ron Thal, Frank Ferrer, and DJ Ashba. Some of their hits include songs such as: Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, and Paradise City.

David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Wolfgang Van Halen, and Alex Van Halen make up the band known as Van Halen which originated out of Pasadena, California. You could party all night like the rock stars listening to their hits songs like: Dance the Night Away, Can't Stop Loving You, and Runnin' With the Devil.

Another band originating out of Los Angeles in the 80s was Quiet Riot. They have gone through many band members, but the original formation was Kevin DuBrow, Randy Rhoads, Kelly Garni, and Drew Forsyth. They are best known for their hit Cum On Feel the Noise. Other hits by Quiet Riot include: Metal Health, Party All Night, and Callin' the Shots.

Motley Crue is the quintessential 80s hair metal band. They partied harder than any other band and were always in some type of trouble. The band consisted of members Nikki Sox, Mick Mars, Vince Neil, and Tommy Lee. Too Fast for Love, Girls Girls Girls, and Dr. Feelgood were all hit songs by the band.

All of the bands listed above have a few things in common, and the most important being that they are metal hair bands. All the bands partied hard, had numerous tattoos, teased their hair to make it big, had run ins with the law, and originated from California. Some other famous 80s hair metal bands are: Savatage, Twisted Sister, Cinderella, Slaughter, Poison, Whitesnake, and Kiss.

You don't have to time travel back to the 80s to hear some of your favorite songs. You can find Internet Radio websites that have 80s channels that will play some of the hits from these great bands listed.

The Strange Days (mostly nights) of Guns N' Roses

2010-02-23T09:28:00.001-08:00

Kenny "Axil" Rose (Lead vocals), D.J. "Slash (Lead guitar), Joshua "Duff" McKagan (Bass Guitar/backing vocals), Terry "Izzy" Stradlin (Rhythm guitar/backing vocals) and Chuck "Matt Sorum" Johnson (Drums/Percussion) make Guns N' Roses. The group has ridden a wave of success and failure spanning decades, which is almost unknown in the Heavy Metal music scene. Many fans of Guns N' Roses believe that Guns N' Roses is a Heavy Metal Rock band that is larger than large and has a collection of songs and hits not known to the Heavy Metal music scene since the Sex Pistols.

The lives of the band members have come under scrutiny of the public eye when the members' experiences with drugs and sexual exploits came to the knowledge of the general public. The penchant for generating negative press dims in the light of their breathtaking song-writing and energetic performances. Their 1987 album, Appetite for Destruction, is undoubtedly a benchmark that many other albums and bands have failed to measure up to.

The fame of Guns N' Roses continue to rock the world of Heavy Metal music with the rancorous songwriting and Slash's vigorous guitar performances. Slash has been featured in various popular guitar magazines countless times and the band itself has been featured on many other magazines, newsletters and newspapers.

Guns N' Roses popped into the music scene when the music scene was dominated by pop music and pop-metal and the future of Guns N' Roses seem blurry at the point. But they proved the critics wrong when songs many consider raw and an uglier version of rock & roll came galloping into the charts full speed. The members of Guns N' Roses are definitely not known to behave in an angelic way - and they've never tried to behave in any other way, in fact, the members are known to be 'ugly', 'misogynist', 'violent'....but they are also known to be 'funny', 'individualistic', 'vulnerable' and sometimes 'sensitive'.

Guns N' Roses music is very basic and gritty - honest to a fault. They are everything true heavy metal music should be. Listening to Guns N' Roses, listeners will soon realize that their music can evoke a wide range of emotions, from anger to sadness, from devotion to hatred.

Guns N' Roses released their first EP in 1986 which grabbed attention of heavy metal music lovers all around the world. The release of the EP led to their first debut album, Appetite for Destruction. The album didn't start selling until almost a year later, as the group toured and performed in numerous live shows. Only when attention was given by MTV by playing "Sweet Child of Mine", the album shot straight for the number one spot! Taking opportunity of their sudden fame, they re-released their debut single "Welcome to the Jungle" and it instantly rocked its way to Top Ten. Other albums and songs followed including "Patience" and "One in a Million". They started work on their follow-up album in 1990 and it's in the same year that Adler was fired and replaced by Matt Sorum from "The Cult". In addition, Dizzy Reed on keyboards was also introduced. The recordings for 1 new album turned into 2 new albums - "Use your Illusion I" and "Use your Illusion II".

"Use your Illusions I and II" initially sold very well until Nirvana's "Nevermind" broke their successful stride. Rose took over the band with a change of attitude and as a result, Stradlin, one of the best songwriter of all times, left Guns N' Roses in 1991 and he was replaced with Gilby Clarke (Kill for Thrills). It wasn't until 1993 that the fans of Guns N' Roses could come to terms with the change because Stradlin had an important role to play in the band. Their following album, The Spaghetti Incident, did garner good reviews but it still failed to capture the kind of spirit that was apparent in the early days of Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses appeared to have lost their edge and many thought that they were out of the race for good. The situation was further worsened with the departure of, yet, another band member, Slash, leaving Rose as the last of the original cast for Guns N' Roses.

In 1999, the first original song in 8 years for Guns N' Roses, "Oh My God" was released and it was featured in "End of Days" film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The new lineup for Guns N' Roses consist of Rose, Finck, Buckethead, Stinson, Brian Mantia, Paul Huge, and Dizzy Reed. The new Guns N' Roses continue to play and perform wherever they can but they generated some bad press when former members of Guns N' Roses were BANNED from watching their performances. Soon Paul Huge joined the lineup of EX Guns N' Roses members and was promptly replaced with Richard Fortus (former Love Spit Love). Fans and critics alike are waiting to see what the new lineup can come up with while the group of ex-GNR members continues to enjoy celebrity status.

Metallica - The Anti-War, Anti-State, Pro-Liberty Metal Band

2010-02-21T19:17:00.000-08:00

I know that a title such as the one above is patently self-evident and possibly redundant, but has Metallica recently made a subtle statement on their pro-liberty views of the current state of the world? It seems they have done just that in their choice of songs to include in their set lists at the recent Bridge School Benefit in late October, an event at which Metallica played two consecutive nights. In a surprising move, they opened each night by playing four cover songs which they had never before performed. The choices of songs that they felt important enough to play, though, gives an indication of what they may be thinking of the war, the state, and life in general in these United States of America at the present time.

Metallica have been writing songs with anti-war messages for over two decades now. An obvious example, which they played at the Bridge School Benefit, is "Disposable Heroes," from their Master of Puppets album released in 1986. With lyrics such as "Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end / No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend," and "Bred to kill, not to care / Do just as we say / Finished here, greeting death / He's yours to take away," the emphasis is clearly on the disconnect that soldiers have in killing people they do not know for reasons given to them from people who care more about winning than any moral or personal considerations. Similar thoughts are echoed in songs such as "One" about the plight of a soldier who has been left with no limbs to move, or senses to use, or way to communicate with the world, and therefore no real reason to survive, but who also lacks the ability to end his life.

A distrust of being controlled and manipulated has also been a stable message of Metallica dating back at least to the Ride the Lightning album and the song "Escape." The song that was played at the Bridge School Benefit, though, is a clearer example. "The Unforgiven" is the story of an Everyman who, from soon after the time he is born, is controlled throughout his life. Although he vows "That never from this day / His will they'll take away," his only reaction to a life of being controlled is to label his controllers dub them unforgiven. HIs battle, though he fights it throughout his life, results in his complete lack of care and a regret-filled death. Those controlling the man are never named, but certain characteristics point to a "Brave New World" style State conditioning the individuality out of the man: "The young boy learns their rules," "This whipping boy done wrong," They dedicate their lives / To running all of his," and other lyrics, while not eliminating the possibility of other influences besides the State, seems to point to a system that aims to train and control people against their will to eradicate their own tendencies to better serve the state: "He tries to please them all."

So, Metallica has demonstrated an attitude, through songs spanning both the Old and New eras of the band, of being consistently anti-war and anti-state. Their image, of course, took a big hit on the anti-state position with their battle against file-sharing software such as Napster, when they relied on institutions of the state to defend their claim to intellectual property rights. Having examined Metallica's position on this in great detail, but not having explored the other side of the argument much, I will not try to defend either side in this essay. But moving on from this divisive event in the band's history, we can now explore the statements the band may have been making in their choice of cover songs to play at the 2007 Bridge School Benefit.

The first song played on both nights was Rare Earth's "I Just Want to Celebrate." This song contains a number of pro-liberty statements, such as "I put my faith in the people / But the people let me down / So I turned the other way / And I carry on, anyhow." Of course, this may be a defense of the charge against the band every time an album comes out that they had sold out, but it still illustrates Metallica's emphasis on individual freedom and not caring what the mob thinks. But furthermore, is the line "Had my hand on the dollar bill / And the dollar bill blew away" another in a string of celebrities decrying the falling value of the American dollar? Obviously this is a more subtle message than models wanting to be paid in other currencies, and rap stars flashing Euros in music videos, but it is a message nonetheless, especially as Metallica has deep roots in Europe, with drummer Lars Ulrich being originally from Denmark.

Nazareth's "Don't Judas Me" is a clearer example of being pro-liberty, and may even contain some accurate assessments of the media and its affects on the American population. "Treat me as you like to be treated" is a seemingly straight-forward statement that has been analyzed in its various forms for centuries. The choice of this song, in the midst of media propaganda about the threat of Iran and a police state out of control with daily taserings and intrusive searches at airports, is especially interesting. "Please don't headshrink me / Don't disguise your innuendos / Make no lies to me," and "Please don't number me / Don't betray my trusted promise / Please don't anger me / I find it hard to bear no fairness / Don't frustrate me, manipulate me," could be Metallica's subtle warning to fans to do some research on their own and not trust anyone using a position of power as a bully pulpit. This would fit well with Metallica's own statements that they feel it inappropriate to use their fame to espouse overtly political views, and may indicate a distrust of a government that used their recordings as tool to torture enemy detainees in Iraq, who were unused to heavy metal music.

This focus on a media out of control and glorifying in negative messages is carried through to the next song on the first night, Garbage's "I'm Only Happy When it Rains." Lyrics such as "You know I love it when the news is bad / And why it feels so good to feel so sad" indicates a view that revels in bad news and a misery loves company attitude. Is this choice of song Metallica's statement that only being fed news through the state-influenced media will make listeners willingly complicit in the negative messages? Without a direct statement from the band, of course, the conclusion is left to speculation, but the overall tone of these first three songs seems to show a focus on individuality and a distrust of labeling and easy answers given by a centrally-controlled source, such as the Old Media or the State. Of course, singer and guitarist James Hetfield was himself briefly a subject of the negative news machine, when he was stopped at an airport and reported to be a potentially suspected terrorist, due to his beard. If someone who sells 100 million records worldwide can be considered a terrorist and detained at the airport, who is immune? Of course, the message is that no one is not a suspect.

The last two songs are more overtly anti-war than the others previously described. The first is "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," by Blue Oyster Cult. this one may also be a dual statement on the media manipulations and war itself. Obviously, psychic wars going on here at home are just as important as the real war in attempting to convince the people that war is useful and going well. Weariness of a war going on far too long, along with an assault on personal liberty and privacy, is the message of lines such as "But the war's still going on dear / And there's no end that I know / And I can't say if we're ever... / I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free," and "It's time we had a break from it / It's time we had some leave." Metallica has covered BOC before on 1998's album "Garage, Inc.," but did not use such an anti-war song. Again, the band's own personal involvement in the war, through the use of their songs as an "enhanced interrogation" technique, and the reports of Hetfield being stopped at an airport, may indicate their awareness of a need to make as much of a statement as possible opposing big war and big government. As the song finally asks, "Did I hear you say that this is victory?"

The final cover song that Metallica chose to play at the Bridge School Benefit is Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms." Although the song, throughout most of it, seems to glorify in the comaraderie of being soldiers for a common cause, the emphasis on this concept of "brothers in arms" is turned on its head in the final lines. The song emphasizes the strength of bonds that are formed "Through these fields of destruction," "As the battles raged higher," and "In the fear and alarm," which may indicate that strength is found in becoming closer to those allies with whom one fights a battle. But, the final lines of the song are "We're fools to make war / On our brothers in arms," using the same "brothers in arms" line to show that all humans have common bonds, no matter that "There's so many different worlds / So many different suns." When individuals go to war for a state, they are making war on their own brothers. Individuals, says the song, have more in common amongst themselves than they will ever have with an abstract state. This message is emphasized in the concert itself as James Hetfield repeats the final lines ("We're fools to make war / On our brothers in arms") numerous times until the end of the song.

So, have Metallica's experiences since the war against terror began affected their views on war, liberty, or the state? It certainly seems as if they have, based on their choice of songs to cover for the Bridge School Benefit concerts. Although these ideas have been expressed in various Metallica songs throughout their history, never before have they played a set with such consistent messages. In fact, that is the aspect of the shows that struck me immediately, having read much on the history of Metallica and their personal views on issues affecting the world. It is mainly through an artist's work that they communicate to us and we can communicate with them, and each concert a band plays is an expression of their own communications with their work and the work of others. In their choice of cover songs, Metallica seems to have laid out a subtle message about their current views of the world and an anti-war, anti-state stance that has only been reinforced over the past years with public events, such as the torture issue and the airport, and their own personal reflections.

Nick maintains a blog educating homeowners on how they can stop foreclosure on their homes through a variety of methods. He believes that individuals taking responsibility for their own lives and their local communities are more effective at solving problems than relying on a distant, abstract state to come up with a one-size-fits-all solution. He has also been a Metallica fan since the early 1990s. You can read other book reviews, movie reviews, and articles at the foreclosure blog that he writes for.

A Brief History of Metallica

2010-02-21T19:05:00.000-08:00

Metallica have easily been arguably the best, most influential and most respected Heavy Metal band of the 80's and the 90's. Instead of drifting off in their own success, they brought the music back down to Earth, back to the street, where it belongs.

The band formed after a series of events in 1981: Lars Ulrich, a Danish born drummer living in the Bay Area of San Francisco, was looking for someone to 'jam' with. He put an add in the local Trading Post, 'The Recycler,' stating that he was interested in playing drums for a band. To answer his add was James Hetfield, a 19-year-old guitarist, also living in the Bay Area of San Francisco. The two started playing together their favorite Heavy Metal songs, such as those by such bands as Diamond Head, and Black Sabbath. Hetfield later asked roommate (and part-time bassist), Ron McGovney to join the band, and McGovney accepted the offer. The trio then recruited lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, and the band was complete, or was it....

With Hetfield doubling up on vocals, the band recorded their first demos in mid-1981. The demos entitled "No Life 'Till Leather," became the product of bootleggers, and the band became popular among the Underground Heavy Metal community.
Later, when Hetfield and Ulrich attended the concert of a fellow Bay Area band called Trauma, they were stunned by the 'volcanic' ability of Trauma's bassist: Cliff Burton. Subsequently, McGovney was kicked out of the band by Hetfield and Ulrich, and the very impressive Burton was asked to join Metallica. After some strenuous decision making, Burton decided to join. Metallica then started to play concerts, mainly as a warm-up band for established Metal acts such as Saxon, and Metallica's popularity grew, while they hadn't even released their first album yet.

Mustaine, the band's lead guitarist became increasingly unpopular with the other three members of the band. His daily intake of drugs and alcohol was not liked by Hetfield and Ulrich, so, in turn, Mustaine was kicked out of the band.

The band searched for another lead guitarist. They attended many concerts of other Bay Area bands, and, they got lucky. They found Kirk Hammet, a guitarist playing for a little known band called Exodus. The trio were in awe of Hammet's lightning-fast fingers which played intricate minute-long solos, that left the fret board on the guitar smoking after they had finished. Hammet was therefore asked to join the band, and after an age of thinking, Hammet decided to leave Exodus, and join Metallica.

For the next year, Ulrich, Hetfield, Burton and Hammet worked on improving the songs they had written in the No Life 'Till Leather demos, and wrote new songs, all while performing concerts all over the country. A recording contract was secured with American recording label Elektra, and in 1983, the band released their first album: "Kill 'Em All." Kill 'Em All contained improved songs from the No Life 'Till Leather demos, and couple of songs written by the band after Burton and Hammet had joined. The album was a huge success amongst the Heavy Metal community, but it never really broke into the mainstream music market.

After the release of Kill 'Em All, the band decided to cut down on the touring, and decided to work instead, on writing their next album. "Ride the Lightning," the band's second album, was released almost exactly a year after Kill 'Em All. It was the product of a year's hard work. As with Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning was a success, and it continued in the traditions of the speed-orientated music from the first album.

Metallica's popularity grew with the release of their album, "Master of Puppets," released in 1985. Some say that 'Puppets' is the best all time Heavy Metal album. It, as with the previous albums was a great success, and Metallica were more popular than ever before.
After the release of 'Puppets, the band decided to go on a world tour, mainly because on the huge success of their albums. The tour was launched in Copenhagen, Denmark, drummer Ulrich's home town.

While on tour in Sweden, tragedy struck. Metallica's tour bus crashed on a long trip between cities, and bassist Burton was tragically killed. After Burton's funeral, the band wondered if they should continue playing or not, and they decided they would play on....

Auditions were held by Metallica for a new bassist, and many budding bass players turned out to see if they were good enough to join Metallica. Jason Newstead, with his heavy, rhythmic technique on the Bass, was chosen as the new bassist for Metallica. To work Newstead into the Metallica mold, the band decided to go back to their roots, and to play some songs written by their favorite bands, the bands which had influenced them the most in their early career. The cover songs (as they are known), were recorded, and the songs were released in 1986's $5.95 EP entitled "Garage Days Revisited." Now the EP is extremely rare, and is considered a collector's item.

With Newstead on board, 1987's "....And Justice For All," was released, Metallica's fourth album. For the first time, Metallica broke into mainstream music via the album, and it entered the American and British Top 20 in the music charts. From the album, the singles "One," and "Harvester of Sorrow," were released, and the singles also had success in the charts.

After the album, the band decided to tour again, and the "Justice" tour, as it came to known, lasted for about 3 years, from 1987 to 1990.

1991's self-titled album "Metallica," brought the band their biggest success to date, selling 7 million copies in the USA alone. The album became Number One in the American Music Charts, and the singles "Unforgiven," "Enter Sandman," and "Nothing Else Matters," became huge hits, each entering the Top 10 in both the American and British singles charts.

Then, it was back on the road again for Metallica, for yet another world tour. This time the tour lasted for four years, and the band played in such obscure place in the world such as Moscow.

The Release of 1996's greatly-anticipated "Load" album was not liked by many of Metallica's hard-core fans. For Load, Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammet and Newstead had decided to step away from the speed-metal scene, and decided to step into the arena of Alternative Rock. Although the album debuted at number one in the American charts, the older Metallica fans did not take to it greatly, they claimed that Metallica had "sold out." Metallica lost some fans, but they also gained many more new fans, who were more interested in the Alternative side of Metallica.

For the next year, in between touring, Metallica wrote songs for the next album, not phased buy the comments made by their so called fans on the Load album. Reload, the seventh album, was released in 1997. The album debuted at number four in the American charts, and like the Load album, the older fans did not like it, but the legions of younger fans continued to grow.

Metallica have always been, in their 19 year career, a constant force on music. Metallica have changed the rules for all Heavy Metal bands, not only are they respected by the fans, but also by mainstream record buyers and critics.

Many bands have emerged from the Metallica way of playing music. Kirk Hammet has become one of the most copied guitarists in all forms of music, James Hetfield has developed a signature growl in his vocals, as with his rhythm guitar, while Lars Ulrich's constant bang of the drums clicks in perfectly with Jason Newstead's bouncing, yet heavy, bass tunes. Metallica have, single-handedly changed the face of metal, forever.

The Ramones were an American rock band often regarded as the first punk rock group. Formed in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, in 1974, all of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with "Ramone", though none of them were actually related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell show and disbanded. A little more than eight years after the breakup, the band's three founding members—lead singer Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone—were dead.

The Ramones were a major influence on the punk rock movement both in the United States and the United Kingdom, though they achieved only minor commercial success. Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania. Recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now cited in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone lists of the 50 Greatest Artists of All Time and 25 Greatest Live Albums of All Time,VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock,and Mojo's 100 Greatest Albums. In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only The Beatles.On March 18, 2002, the Ramones—including the three founders and drummers Marky and Tommy Ramone—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

2009-03-02T14:31:00.000-08:00

Bradford Phillip Delson (born December 1, 1977) is an American musician, lead guitarist, and one of the founding members of the alternative rock band Linkin Park. He is also the A&R Representative for Machine Shop Recordings.
Brad Delson attended Agoura High School with childhood friend and Linkin Park band mate Mike Shinoda. He played in various bands throughout his high school career, the most notable being Relative Degree, in which he met and teamed up with drummer Rob Bourdon. Relative Degree's goal was simply to play a show, and, after achieving that goal, they disbanded.

After graduating in 1995, Delson, Shinoda, and Bourdon formed Xero, which would eventually become the starting point for Linkin Park.

Delson entered UCLA in 1995 as a Regent Scholar working toward a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies with a specialization in Business and Administration. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and shared a dorm room with future Linkin Park band mate Dave Farrell for three out of his four years at school. Delson also had the opportunity to intern with a member of the music industry as part of his studies and ended up working for Jeff Blue, an A&R representative at Warner Bros. Records, who offered constructive criticism on Xero's demos. Incidentally, it was Blue who later introduced Chester Bennington, the current lead vocalist of Linkin Park, to the rest of the band.

After graduating summa cum laude in 1999, Delson decided to forgo law school in order to pursue a musical career with Linkin Park. He remains an avid fan of all things blue and gold.

Brief History of Linkin Park

2009-03-01T21:56:00.000-08:00

Linkin Park is an American rock band from Agoura Hills, California. Since its formation in 1996, the band has sold more than 50 million albums and won two Grammy Awards. It achieved mainstream success with its debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005. Its following studio album, Meteora, continued the band's success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world. In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth greatest band of the music video era.
Having adapted the nu metal and rap rock genres to a radio-friendly yet densely-layered style in Hybrid Theory and Meteora, the band explored other genres in their next studio album, Minutes to Midnight. The album topped the Billboard charts and had the third best debut week of any album that year. They have also collaborated with several other artists, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mashup album Collision Course, and many others on Reanimation.
