After a nice comeback from some time of the music scene, Jennyfer Star is back with her Cluster Bombs. But the comeback haven’t been at ease for her, apparently the lead guitarist Lia haven’t been agreeing on their internal decisions so they had to let her go. Now that they haven’t got a leader on the guitar side, they had to cancel a show in Sundbyberg (Sweden) and can’t book new gigs in the coming future, until they get a new guitarist.

So if you leave nearby and feel that you have the fingers with you, owns a guitar and have some ambitions to conquer the streets of Sweden/Europe with Jennyfer, please send an email about it to: info @ jennyferstar . com

A week or so ago, I got the chance to see the Backyard Babies live in Paris. After having announced they would be on an “indefinite hiatus” after this tour, this gig kind of felt like “the last gig”. Are they breaking up? That’s what everyone was asking each other.

The band played songs from all the albums, from “Fill Up This Bad Machine” and “Electric Suzy” from their debut album (Diesel & Power) to songs from their last one (Backyard Babies), like “Abandon” and “Nomadic”, as well as their version of “Babylon” (cover from Faster Pussycat). It was a long and diversified set.

After this awesome gig, I waited around to ask singer Nicke Borg the question everyone wanted to ask. First time, he just looked and said “Ahn, I don’t know… I don’t know.” Second time, he said there were some plans for after the tour.

“There will be some things happening, but nothing I can really say now. Nothing with the Backyard Babies, anyway.”

In an interview, Nicke had said he wanted to “pick up on everything I left. Ideas, projects, song writing partners and stuff that has nothing to do with music. I don’t have a special plan. I’m finishing my home studio and just want to get off the road and pick up where I left.

For many years, my life was a band. Just now, last couple of years, I felt I needed to realize it was just a band. Now my life is my life and my band is what I do. It’s been great, but these days it’s not my whole entire life.”

This statement is a little in contradiction with what guitarist Dregen said a while ago: “if the hiatus lasted for a year, that would be an absolute maximum”.

“We don’t speak with each other about that.” – said Nicke. “Dregen is gonna work with music, he’s a musician.”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get anything from the guitarist, so the question remains: will they break up? Anyway, let’s hope not!

I read this on SleazeRoxx.com:

TMZ.com reports that Jon Bon Jovi and Gwen Stefani are following in Taylor Swift’s sports-bar-crushing footsteps — because the two pop stars are also suing a hometown drinking establishment for allegedly jacking their music.

According to a lawsuit filed in Minnesota last month, several of Gwen and Bon Jovi’s compositions were publicly performed at Sally’s Salloon & Eatery — and they claim the bar never got the licensing it needed. Now Bon Jovi, Gwen, and all the other people who own copyrights to their music want the bar to pay damages … and stop playing their songs.

This could be a crushing blow to the local watering hole — because as we all know, a bar without Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” is like a bird without wings.

Calls to Universal Music Group weren’t returned. A rep at Sally’s wasn’t even aware of the lawsuit.

This shit just makes me go crazy, the artist is going after the people that loves their music, have been like this before actually, but I just want to say something about it. Shouldn’t it be encouraged, that a someone can sing a song by another band, like a cover? Should I pay Kiss a thousand dollars or more, cuz me and my band played “Cmon and love me” infront of a crowd? Or am I just missing the plot of this story? Correct me if I am wrong guys! Feels stupid for me.

I just got a hold of this link, with all the songs from Ace Frehleys new album, “Anomaly”, streamed to your headphones/speakers for free, and I must say that the album sounds like a killer. I know that Kiss also has an album out soon, but I prefer Ace Frehley, mostly after I saw him live at Sweden Rock Festival last year. Thou, I wonder how if the Kiss album will be a multi-selling one, if my calculations is correct, it will sell like melting butter in the sun. Well have listen to Ace’s new album HERE

Independent research group RUFKM Worldwide proves that Extreme’s manager is solely responsible for improper branding, the rise and fall of the band, and the single “More Than Words” which has infected and destroyed more humans than the “Swine Flu.”

This hard-hitting article provides insights into Extreme’s insanity, as well as answers the more important question of “Who the hell cares?”. The analysis also includes the startling news that Extreme actually used to rock like Van Halen. The research shows that 99.9% of the world are unaware of the fact that they did rock and thinks all their songs sounded like “Hole Hearted.” This is proven to be confusing as shit.

I feel it is kinda sad that she hasn’t contacted me about that interview her and I was talking about, but well, what to do? Well instead of showing a self-produced Q/A, I’ll show you a radio interview with Lita Ford herself

I also want to point out that Jim Gillette will follow her to Sweden Rock Festival this year, and that is pretty amazing. I must enter the backstage area in one way or another, cuz this is a ones in a life time opportunity.

PP7 gaftzeb is at it again, he now bashes CRASHDÏET for totally destroying the last connection with former rock singer/songwriter/guitarist, Dave Lepard and not telling the truth. Well I’m not sure where I stand in the question: Do I support the band as CRASHDÏET or do I support the band for being yet another rock band, or do I simply ignore the band in one way or another? Hard question, or is it? Have your say in the comment area!

Wow, amazing how my head can turn around, I thought that this actor-turns-rapper was a joke, especially when we are talking about one of the best actors in the entire world. Few can hit the talent that Joaquin Phoenix has, but now what?
The majority of you all must have seen or heard of his conversion from super star actor to hobo rapper, am I right?
I mean, he can do what ever the fuck he wants, but I feel that he have let down a lot of us, dumping the actor-role in a, lets say, a dumpster.

Well the one thing that make me think that this isn’t a PR stunt, I even had a theory of him and Kasey Affleck might be making a comedy-documentary of an actor turning to rap-music, but apparently I am wrong.
In the video I am about to show you, he swears on stage, and wrestles a guy in the audience, un-fucking-believable, check it out:

There might be a reason why he attacks a person, but still, why?!
Oh yeah, sorry for the bad-language, but I am tired and a little angry right now.

The incident in a Swedish video-article: http://www.aftonbladet.se/webbtv/noje/article4631598.ab

Just a quick update – The news of their chosen singer is supposedly set to be revealed in 4 days.

Keep your eyes peeled! If i find anything, I’ll come back and post it.

My bets are on Syd Barrett!… The fact that he’s dead means nothing!

As irrelevant as this may be, I feel the need to post it anyway!

As many of you UK readers may already know, Mrs. Osbourne quit the “talent” show, ‘The X Factor’, back in June last year, and was replaced by previous reality show winner, Cherly Cole, née Tweedy, of Girl Group, Girls Alowwed….Aloud? Whichever. (In related news – Duff Mckagan offered the 5 piece girlband, his side-band “Loaded”, to support them on their next tour. Further news as to whether this will be going ahead, is still yet to be confirmed.)

Anyway, in a recent interview, Sharon stated that “I left because of Dannii Minogue. Simple as that.
I didn’t enjoy working with her at all and didn’t fancy the prospect of spending six months sitting next to her.” As to why she left the ITV1 Series.
Cant say I blame her – Dannii really is irritating…. Not to mention the fact that she only has one expression. This folks, is proof why Plastic Surgery is BAD.

Sharon came to fame, through managing her husband, Ozzy, and gained even more success through their hugely successful TV show “The Osbournes.” Through such publicity, she has become infamous for her acts of revenge, involving Tiffany Boxes, and animal (sometimes even human) faeces.
As part of the same interview conducted by ‘Closer’ Magazine, she retorted:

“I haven’t sent a Tiffany box for years, but I used to send crap to people who annoyed me,” she said. “I remember Jack saying to me: ‘Mummy, why do I have to poo in a box?’ and I said: ‘Shut up and keep shitting!’”

That there, is a perfect example of good ol’ British Charm N’ Class.
