I’ve just learned that Mitch Mitchell, the last remaining member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience has died.
He was taking a break following the Experience Hendrix tour, and was found dead in his hotel room yesterday morning. The coroner’s office say it is likely that he died of natural causes.
Same Old Thing – don’t be fooled by that title, this is literally the best new music I’ve listened to all week.
The publicist for The Black Keys sent me across an email about this new single by the band. (This is a lesson to me to actually read those publicity emails every now and again). Something compelled me to look this tune up on the Internet, and I’m soooo glad I did.
Razorlight are a band I fell in love with from the first chord of the first song on their Up All Night album.
So, I can imagine a ton of Razorlight fans out there nodding their heads in agreement when I say this single is very highly anticipated. And while part of me was hoping for a rocker of a single, Wire To Wire is simply too stunning piece of work to be disappointed with.
Sadly, as the autumn turns to winter, the prospects of a new Aerosmith album in your Christmas stocking this year dwindle and fade…
With rock-legend and scarf fetishist Steven Tyler and Joe ‘Cheekbones’ Perry both crocked during the year, Aerosmith only have a half-recorded album, and we’d all prefer to wait for the finished version. Thanks very much.
I’m still not sure what caused The Darkness to disband, but if it was so Justin Hawkins could start his own vanity project, it may well backfire on him.
Let me start by saying that I had a lot of love for Hawkins as part of The Darkness, but I’m not sure he can transition to being a serious artist in his own right or as part of another band.
And that brings me neatly to Hot Leg…
Sex On Fire has been my favourite track of the last few weeks. Kings Of Leon have really pulled out all the stops with this one – smouldering guitars and wicked yelps from Caleb Followill.
So, inside my head, the words this sex is on fire have been playing almost non-stop, along with a smirk every time I imagine the lyrics to be about some kind of nasty infection…
It’s been absolutely ages since we’ve heard a decent rock song with a “whoa whoa” chorus.
Isn’t it refreshing then that Snow Patrol have decided to run with an up-tempo song as the first single from their new album? And not only an up-tempo song, but a darned catchy one at that?
Word reaches me, Dr Pepper lovers, that Guns N’ Roses will release their long long long long long awaited Chinese Democracy album on 23rd November of this very year.
A major pat on the back for Axl, perhaps showing exactly how petty he can be when someone makes fun at his expense! Or maybe he’d planned to release an album this year?
In their 17th year, you’d have thought Oasis would have imploded by now.
However, their new single The Shock Of The Lightning shows that they’re not showing any signs of slowing down or stagnating.
As it stands, The Shock Of The Lightning is a surprisingly hard rocking tune. It’s got a big sound, but probably the least obvious chorus I’ve heard from Oasis in a long time.
What’s the ultimate Led Zeppelin song? In my humble opinion, it’s not Whole Lotta Love, Dazed And Confused or even Stairway To Heaven.
It’s a less well-known tune called Traveling Riverside Blues. In keeping with the Delta Blues obsession that spawned the blues rock of the late 60’s/early 70’s, the song is based on Robert Johnson’s original of the same name.
The version of the song that Zep recorded back in 1969 resurfaced in 1990 on the Remasters box set, and then again in a compilation of early Led Zeppelin live songs called BBC Sessions.
