Guitar Hero Smash Hits
GamersDailyNews
It truly is like printing money with the Guitar Hero logo on it sometimes. So why not make the tracks available for the newer versions of the game instead of creating an entirely new game? Well I can see that there might have been some licensing issues. The songs were probably originally licensed for a guitar-only game. Now they need to pay the music industry more money for full band capabilities. That’s one possibility and it’s a logical assumption considering that the music industry was up in arms about not being paid enough for the music. The music that the artists create that Activision used and that the recording labels.
Academy of Country Music Awards rehearsals: Reba Miranda Carrie
Entertainment Weekly
As I listen to her run it through — I love that bratty edge that comes into her voice at the end of lines sometimes — I do a little googling and come up dry. Start looking around for her publicist. 5:56 There seems to be some discussion about whether Miranda will do this song with or without the guitar. I vote with even though she?s not playing it much. And — ooh! Part of the giant white wall actually descends from the ceiling! nly thing that came down from the sky at the Grammys was Katy Perry. 6:06 Run-through number three.
Music review: Kristofferson fans Haggard flame
San Francisco Chronicle
tmpl –>Country music great Merle Haggard doesn’t do acoustic performances – he’s an old-time honky-tonk man – but he couldn’t resist the invitation from Kris Kristofferson to do three special joint acoustic concerts. Still Haggard looked a little flustered when he flubbed a line or his teleprompter man posted the wrong song Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa. tmpl –> Images.
Metallica Run-DMC headed to Rock Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
“n a sunny chilly evening fans stood behind barricades along the red carpet screaming as rock stars past and present arrived. Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page who will present Beck received the loudest ovation. He was soon followed by Metallica presenter Flea bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers who served as his own roadie by carrying his guitar case. For Metallica whose members have survived some of the darkness found in their raging music the event was also serving as a family reunion. Bassist Jason Newsted who left the band in 2001 accepted an invitation to rejoin his bandmates for the big gig. “It’s still somewhat surreal” Metallica singer-guitarist James Hetfield said. “The other part of it will be us kicking in the door a little bit.
The healing power of music
Brockville Recorder and Times
“Radbourne who also works in Smiths Falls with autistic children added her palliative care work has also taught her about “the true power that the human spirit has. “The March 4 fundraising concert at First Presbyterian Church which featured regional musicians who donated their time and talents raised $2500 including a donation of $300 and the program has also received a bequest for $10819 according to the Brockville and District Hospital Foundation. Radbourne and DiLabio hope the program will find a way to sustain itself so Radbourne can continue making those visits with her guitar. “Music therapy is another way to complement the work we do” said DiLabio. “Courtney represents many things to our team” she added noting Radbourne helped put together a song by palliative care staff about their experiences. As a younger member of the team Radbourne brings “a breath of fresh air” said DiLabio and simply hearing her practice on her guitar in her office at the Garden Street site enlivens the place. Graham meanwhile already appreciated the value of music therapy from her former work with special needs children at an ttawa school board.
JJ Cale hits the road
Seattle Times
to work as a studio engineer by day and play guitar on the nightclub circuit for extra cash. He was 30 when he recorded his first solo album “Naturally” in 1971. At that point only a handful of folks knew of his music — a unique electric-acoustic hybrid of folk jazz blues and disco that drifts over whispery vocals underplayed guitar and drowsy boogie beats. Fortunately that handful included Eric Clapton who turned Cale’s “After Midnight” and “Cocaine” into massive radio hits; and Lynyrd Skynyrd who did the same with “Call Me the Breeze. Since then Cale’s done very little to make his songs popular besides write them. He seldom tours gives few interviews and mostly keeps his likeness off his album covers. (Even the cover of “Roll n” obscures all but an eye a nose and a bushy gray eyebrow behind a hollow-body electric guitar.
The Wild and Woolly Music of the Shtetl in All Its Infinite Variety
New York Times
His band pushed hard with distorted guitar textures from Sheryl Bailey in one number and looped mechanized beats from Socalled in another; some older klezmer fans fled before the concert was over. Despite some merely trendy moments Klezmer Madness! was striving to make klezmer cathartic and intense — anything but a revivalist nostalgia trip.
