Monday, March 23, 2009

The hardest working guitarist/writer/producer/entrepreneur in rock, DJ Ashba has linked up with Axl Rose, landing a spot as Guns n’ Roses’ lead guitarist on the band’s upcoming tour. Replacing Robin Finck (who was one of the many guitarists to play lead on GNR’s latest album, Chinese Democracy), Ashba received nothing but the highest level of praise [...]

The Killers - Day and Age

The Killers' latest disc, Day and Age seems to follow in its predecessor Sam's Town's footsteps as a loosely strung together concept album. While the premise isn't nearly as clear cut as that on Sam's Town, Brandon Flowers and company's newest seems to zero in on the human condition from a lofty spot with an omniscient sort of high-powered telescope. Whereas Sam's Town trained its focus on small town life, Day and Age takes a look at a much larger picture.

Guns N’ Roses - “Chinese Democracy”

Chinese Democracy's opening title track could be a metaphor for the album itself. The song's intro builds tension with nothing but faint shrieks and vocal rumblings that come from the other side of the world -- a solitary world populated by Axl and his vision. The music comes in dribs and drabs, slow and creeping before the bass drum kicks in and sharp riffs cut the air, joined by Axl's signature yowl. The song's refrain, "All I've got is precious time", is a telling admission of Rose's recalcitrant attitude towards putting this album out in a timely fashion.

Pink - “Funhouse”

At first spin, Pink's latest album, Funhouse seems to have been slapped with the wrong moniker. Colored by her recent split from husband Carey Hart, there are more melancholy moments on Funhouse than the high-spirited fun that Pink's fans have come to expect. While she's traveled dark territory before with songs like "Just Like a Pill," "Who Knew," and "Dear Mr. President," were small just a small portion of material on what otherwise comprised her fun-loving repertoire.
