I kinda like his new stuff. sexyback is a good song. anyone a fan?

Hi, I heard the album is going to be released probably at the end of 2006 (around Xmas). I went to see them Live and it was a great show. That's a new line-up, and the few new songs they played of the "Chinese Democracy" record sounded really really good! There's a demo version of one of the new song, "IRS" wich was leaked on the internet by the band's Management for the fans. Here it is: http://rapidshare.de/files/28307821/Guns_N__Roses_-_IRS.mp3.html I really like it, what do you think?

And bands like Coldplay, Oasis, The Beatles, Snow Patrol etc Check out my music on either Myspace or at NME.Com's new music page http://www.nme.com/newmusic/alex-gladwin http://www.myspace.com/alexgladwin If you like my music feel free to vote on NME or add me on Myspace and of course any feedback is hugely appreciated.

Anybody heard of Stoney? New tunes are quality and album is great - have a listen and let us know what you think.

In order my preference would be: 1990's 1960's 2000's 1970's 1950's 1980's The 80's were just terrible for everything except metal.

What is the latest musician/band that you have just started to listen to and cannot get enough of? For me it is Beck.....just got odelay..its such a funky album :stunned:

in this issue: Shadow Parade, The Heavenly Music Corporation, Mono/Noise, Paulin Voss, Blue On Blue and The Ruling Class Shadow Parade Iceland's Shadow Parade started life as an electronic duo before deciding to expand their sound. It's now the more traditional instruments that dominate and the computer has been turned off. The band produce a warm fragile take on indie that has echo's of Coldplay, Turin Brakes and the more guitar based end of Radiohead's back catalogue. Dead Man's Hands is the perfect showcase for Beggi Dan's emotive vocals. The chorus kicks like a mule on speed, with guitars blasting through the mix. The warped Americana of Gravity showcase…

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. · There are pockets of the country where a lurching 45-foot black bus festooned with demonic imagery would be an unwelcome sight. This is not one of them. When the Ozzfest 2006 motor coach, a rolling advertisement for Ozzy Osbourne's annual tour of hard-rock and heavy-metal bands, parks outside a shopping mall, a clutch of teenagers gathers outside hoping to score free tickets to the shows. The bus is ostensibly part of a nationwide beauty contest designed to generate publicity, but judging from its reception here that hardly seems necessary. A woman in her 30s breathlessly dials her cell phone to tell her husband she has seen the bus. "The whole…

With a quirky, fun sound and a great chemistry that permeated the stage, the Violent Femmes had most of the crowd bopping up and down Thursday night at the very packed and extremely cloudy Thursday at the Square. Best known for the early '90s cult favorite "Blister in the Sun," the Violent Femmes have been the purveyors of underground indie folk rock for more than 20 years -- not that anyone would notice, because they sound as fresh and as fun as they did when their self-titled first album was released in 1982. They were discovered on the streets of Milwaukee by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders (who was so enchanted by their clowning around that she invited them t…

The 30th edition of the Fabric CD series will be released September 2006 and comes from NYC duo Eric D and Thomas, aka Run N Tug. The album features some shuffling disco and roaring house beats, coupled with irresistibly sing-along vocals and hypnotizing guitar lines. Eric D and Thomas met at a party (where else?) in LA, through a mutual friend working at a clothing and disco unit called Sarcastic. Random chance and coincidence soon found the two of them together on the other side of the continent, pumping beats into the heart of New York City's underground scene. Despite NYC commercialism staring them in the eyes and singing it sweet siren song, Eric and Thomas, with …

Cerys Matthews is back with her second solo album, Never Said Goodbye, the follow up to her debut solo album, the marvellous Cockahoop. This brilliant new album is preceded by the release of an equally gorgeous single - Open Roads - on August 7th. Meanwhile, Cerys is currently touring the UK for the first time in three years and is having the time of her life. Previously vocalist for Catatonia, one of the most successful bands to have ever emerged from Wales, Cerys now lives in Nashville with her husband and two young children. I Like Music caught up with Cerys prior to her performance at London's Scala to chat about writing songs with Superfurry Gruff Rhys, Nashville…

For Ease I will keep only to the main studio albums. So which album in your opinion the best blur album from one of the most underrated bands of all time?

Looks like this thing is actually going to come out after all. August 22 will allegedly be the day when the soundtrack album for the long-anticipated Outkast film Idlewild will hit store shelves, and the movie will open three days later, on August 25. We'll believe it when we're actually sitting in the theater and Big Boi and Andre 3000 are dancing away up on screen in front of us. For now, we've got the official, confirmed tracklist for the soundtrack. The video for "Idlewild Blue (Don'tchu Worry 'Bout Me) will premiere on MTV's TRL (that show is still on?) this Tuesday, August 8. Tracklist: 01 Intro 02 Mighty "O" 03 Peaches featuring Sleepy Brown & Scar 04…

So. You all probably know that famous quote of Quentin Tarantino. He said once that all people can be divided into two parts: people who love Elvis Presley and people who love The Beatles. Everybody may love both but one day you will have to do the choice. I know there're many people who say they love The Beatles and probably some people who really do. Maybe there're also any Elvis's appreciaters. So please, just choose.

hey..you guys should really check out this amazing band at www.myspace.com/thechuckydangerband

Long bathroom lines, loudmouth drunks and questionable calls can kill the buzz at a live show — here’s what to watch out for By the time he sang “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes,” Paul Simon’s performance at the Mid-State Fair last Saturday had won me over. Simon’s gentle voice was still intact, he fronted a band of virtuosos and he selected the perfect mix of songs — a touch of Simon and Garfunkel, a healthy dose of “Graceland” hits and the best stuff off his latest album, “Surprise.” It might have been a perfect night had it not been for the cheesy-looking guy making out with his drunk girlfriend in front of us. Or the vibrato-voiced lady behind us who too…

Rome's Catholic, Muslim and Jewish leaders have united to condemn pop star Madonna's decision to stage a mock-crucifixion when she performs in the Italian capital on Sunday a stone's throw away from Vatican City. The lapsed-Catholic diva's latest irreverent performance sees her wearing a fake crown of thorns and descending on a suspended, glittery cross as part of her worldwide "Confessions Tour". Having already been criticised in the United States, Catholics priests from across the Eternal City have gone one further saying the act is blasphemy. Cardinal Ersilio Tonino, speaking with the approval of Pope Benedict XVI said: "This time the limits have really been p…

I tend to listen to sad music.. in the dark.. and in bed. :cry: Today however.. I'm at my computer... journaling.. in the dark.. and listening to Radiohead's Bullet Proof... on repeat, as I normally do when I am depressed. limb by limb and tooth by tooth tearing up inside of me everyday every hour wish that i was bullet proof. wax me mould me heat the pins and stab them in you have turned me into this just wish that it was bullet proof. so pay me money and take a shot lead-fill the hole in me i could burst a million bubbles all surrogate & bullet proof. so what do you do? :cry:

Interesting.... What the fuck's a "pop" star anyways? http://uk.news.launch.yahoo.com/dyna/article.html?a=/060731/340/gib3r.html&e=l_news_dm Bono has been named the most influential pop star of the last 25 years, in a new survey. The U2 frontman tops an MTV poll commissioned to mark the 25th anniversary of the channel. Over 4000 people are understood to have been questioned in the survey. Michael Jackson and Madonna came second and third in the poll, which has been illustrated by an image placing the top 15 stars superimposed as royalty on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Kurt Cobain, Prince, Eminem, Kylie Minogue, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, …

Some would say that the perfect way to end the summer holidays is to discover that quiet corner of this much-trodden planet and wilfully pass away the days enjoying pristine nothingness. To many more, it is mud-swamps, exploding gas cans and sheer filthiness that carries the greater appeal. As the oldest, grandest and dirtiest of all British Festivals, Reading / Leeds has rarely been so eagerly anticipated. With the absence of Glastonbury this year, even with increased capacities reaching 80,000 and 70,000 respectively, obtaining a ticket was simply a matter of click and hope. For those lucky few ("few" being in relative terms) the class of 2006 covers the le…

While the debate rages as to whether the festival calendar is already over-saturated, news reaches us of two more being plannned for next summer - a 'mini T In The Park' and the Isle Of Man's first major music event... With no Glastonbury Festival taking place this year it was perhaps inevitable that a whole new crop of festivals would spring up in attempts to fill the void. Some have worked, others have half-worked, several have completely fallen by the wayside and many more remain to be seen. But it seems the explosion of new festivals will not be limited to only this year. Already there are reports of two new outdoor music weekenders for 2007. Newspapers in S…

I wrote a song. No lyrics, just an acoustic guitar and some organny sounding keyboard to make it sound more professional.:smug: Dmusic Link: Just go here and click the little green arrow next to the Untitled one or if that doesn't work download the: Rapidshare file here. As you can see it says v1.1, meaning it is not finished, not even close. I might even just constantly update that thing until it is how I would like the finished product to be. And try to ignore the fact that the keyboard is slightly out of time with the guitar, I had to record them seperately and then with the magic of Audacity meld them together, that is the best I got. And also I've never…
