Talk about bizarre. The members of Metallica are now models for the Brioni fashion house. The Italian house has launched a luxury men's line and decided that no one was better to sell suits than Lars Ulrich and co, apparently. It's not exactly ...And Justice For All, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy looking at high fashion photos and ads. I mean, I never met an Hermès boutique I didn't like.
Loudwire has a fun slideshow on rocker wedding photos. Yes, Tommy Lee is featured (twice) and I lost count of how many times Rod Stewart showed up in this. I was looking at these photos with some coworkers. We had fun going through the gallery so I thought I would share here. Sometimes it's fun to look at old goofy photos.
A few months ago, Steven Tyler mentioned Aerosmith would do a farewell tour in 2017. Joe Perry rebuffed this claim but now Steven is doubling down. He said as much on the Howard Stern Show and it seems all but certain - at least from his perspective. Sure 2017 is a long time from now, especially if we're talking about a summer run. If a farewell tour happens, it will likely be big with a special opener and lots of dates. Being my favorite band, this is very bittersweet to me. It's like my childhood dying once and for all.
Twisted Sister just released the video clip of "You Can't Stop Rock n' Roll" (Live) from the upcoming DVD Metal Meltdown, A Concert To Honor A.J. Pero. The DVD will come out July 22 via Loud and Proud. As you can tell by the video clip, the band sounds better than ever. They are on their farewell tour now - be sure to catch them live while you still can!
I love NPR. In fact, it is the only radio I listen to while in the car. Recently, Weekend Edition did a feature on Kip Winger and his move from the Glam world to classical. It's a really nice feature and worth your time.
Kip Winger went from playing hair metal and the MTV hit "Seventeen" to writing classical music for ballet.https://t.co/Fmze82ltCc
I feel like we've been talking about it forever,but it's finally here: the Guns n' Roses, "Not In This Lifetime" tour is officially underway. The tour started in Detroit Thursday night. The setlist is exactly the same (song-wise) as the show I saw in Las Vegas back in April, which honestly surprises me a little bit. It looks like they've added "Out Ta Get Me" which I don't recall from my Vegas show.
I still haven't purchased tickets for the Cincinnati stop that is coming up in just a few days. Trying to be frugal, but I know I'm going to get sucked in.
Here's the set:
01. It's So Easy 02. Mr. Brownstone 03. Chinese Democracy 04. Welcome To The Jungle 05. Double Talkin' Jive 06. Estranged 07. Live And Let Die 08. Rocket Queen 09. You Could Be Mine 10. Raw Power (cover) 11. This I Love 12. Civil War 13. Coma 14. Speak Softly Love ("The Godfather") 15. Sweet Child O' Mine 16. Better 17. Out Ta Get Me 18. Wish You Were Here 19. November Rain 20. Knockin' On Heaven's Door (cover) 21. Nightrain 22. Don't Cry 23. The Seeker (cover) 24. Paradise City
Thirty years in the making, Stryper will tour in their original yellow and black costumes for the To Hell With the Devil anniversary tour. The tour will feature all four original members.
The tour dates will be announced soon. Everyone knows I'm not a big Stryper fan, but I do think it would be cool to see the band in their famous, throw-back costumes. I mean, I didn't get to see it live for the first time like many of you did. So who is planning on attending this tour?
