Infrastruck - Izzy Stradlin - Fire

Infrastruck.

This is my favorite song on Fire ... the Acoustic Album.

You should really BUY it.

Do I need to remind you that you can get it on iTunes?

Right now?

For ten bucks?


Anyway, Check out this video of "Infrastruck"

Don't forget: More Guns N' Roses B-Sides are Coming Soon ...

Preview the New Motley Crue Song

"This album has the vibe of Dr. Feelgood, Girls Girls Girls, and Shout at the Devil," promises Nikki Sixx of the band's first new album since 1997.

The still-yet-untitled album borrows heavily from Crue's autobiography The Dirt and attempts to recapture the glitter rock sound with song titles like "Down at the Whisky" and "White Trash Circus."

"There's also a lot of humor because, let's face it, we're ridiculously funny,'" says Sixx.

You can also preview a sample of the new Motley Crue song "The Saint Of Los Angeles" below:

Bands I Hate (Pt. I)

One band I won't be following here is The Counting Crows.

I hated them in 1993, and I hate them now.

Here is my top ten reasons why.

10. The lead singer's fake dreadlocks are a slap in the face to Rastas worldwide.
09. That song "Brown Ear" is painfully annoying.
08. Nobody in the band is a good musician.
07. That song "Rain King."
06. They don't "Rock."
05. The lead singer is like a cross between a fratboy and a hippie.
04. They dress like pussies.
03. Their awful, awful cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi."
02. All of their song are incredibly melodramatic.
01. The singer's voice, duh.

BONUS REASONS: He's fat. They call themselves "Counting Crows," not "The Counting Crows." You know, like "Chasing Amy," "Finding Nemo," "Drowning Mona." Ugh. 1993 wasn't really that great, let's move on.

Black Crowes, Sheryl Crow, The Crow, Counting Crows ... enough already. Talk about the commodity form, huh?

I thought they were gone, but they're back.

Somebody please wake me up when their tour with Maroon 5 is over and I don't have to read about them anymore.

Thanks,
MA

Human Being

Today's recommendation comes from
Rock is Dead, RIP.
The New York Dolls - (I'm a) Human Being (LIVE).

The NY Dolls were a major influence on tons of other bands - I'll let you guess who.

(Thanks to trio over at Rock is Dead for sharing their collection of out-of-print records with us).

By the way, more Guns N' Roses B-Sides Coming Soon ...
