Rock in Rio Faz História Ao Reunir Guns N'roses E the Who Na Mesma Noite Rock in Rio faz história ao reunir Guns N'Roses e The Who na mesma noite Depois de uma espera de mais de 50 anos, fãs brasileiros vão assistir ao The Who pela primeira vez. Guns vem ao festival com Axl Rose, Slash e Duff McKagan Rio de Janeiro, 07 de março de 2017 – O sonho vai virar realidade. Depois de 53 anos, a banda The Who vai tocar pela primeira vez no Brasil, no dia 23 de setembro, no Rock in Rio. Esta será a primeira apresentação da banda na América do Sul. E, para arrematar a noite, o Guns N’Roses também se apresenta para reunir fãs de diferentes gerações. Cada um a seu modo, Guns e The Who são formações capazes de levar multidões por onde passam e vão ficar na memória dos que estiverem no Rock in Rio neste dia histórico. Os fãs da banda americana, liderada por Axl Rose, pediram muito a participação da atração nesta edição do evento. Roberto Medina, presidente do Rock in Rio, foi para as redes sociais pela primeira vez e fez um convite aberto para a banda vir ao festival mais uma vez. Após uma grande campanha e de muito empenho do próprio Medina, o sonho de revê-los no Palco Mundo está prestes a acontecer, já que o convite foi feito e aceito. O Guns N’Roses traz dois integrantes da sua formação clássica: o guitarrista Slash e o baixista Duff McKagan, que retornaram para apresentações especiais desde o início de 2016, e se juntam a Axl, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferer e Melissa Reese. A carreira de sucesso do grupo começou em 1985, com o primeiro álbum lançado dois anos depois. Appetite For Destruction caiu como uma bomba nas paradas de sucesso e catapultou a banda para o estrelato como a estreia mais vendida dos Estados Unidos e com 30 milhões de cópias vendidas em todo o mundo. Em 1991, os álbuns Use You Illusion I e Use Your Illusion II ganhou sete vezes o disco de platina e ocupou os dois primeiros lugares do Top 200 da Billboard. Foi neste mesmo ano que a banda se apresentou pela primeira vez no Rock in Rio, em um show histórico realizado no Maracanã. Na última década, o Guns N'Roses fez shows e festivais mundialmente famosos após o lançamento de Chinese Democracy, disco aclamado pela crítica em 2008. A banda é considerada uma das mais importantes e influentes na história da música. Falando em mito, nada poderia ser tão importante quanto a estreia de um grupo que define, para muitos, o que é rock. The Who, a furiosa e lendária banda inglesa, precursora das sonoridades punks, defensora e integrante do ideário mod, entre tantas outras façanhas, finalmente virá ao Brasil e tocará ao vivo no palco do Rock in Rio. Formada em 1964, a banda extrapolou o R&B convencional, desafiou os padrões da música e redefiniu o que era possível no palco, nos estúdios de gravação e no vinil. 'I Can not Explain' foi o primeiro single do The Who e rapidamente alcançou o Top 10 britânico. Em 1965, "My Generation", com seu refrão "I hope I die before I get old” tornou-se o grito de toda a geração. Juntas, as quatro personalidades divergentes de The Who produziram um furacão. Cada um deles foi um pioneiro: o baterista Keith Moon e sua elegância caótica; o baixista John Entwistle com o virtuosismo melódico de um guitarrista solo; Pete Townshend pontuou a universalidade de suas canções em cordas de guitarra; e Roger Daltrey rugiu com uma arrogância viril. Apesar da perda de Keith Moon, em 1978, e de John Entwistle, em 2002, o The Who continua sendo ativo no rock’n’roll e uma das mais importantes bandas do showbizz. O século 21 desencadeou um ressurgimento de criações entre Townshend e Daltrey: uma coletânea de sucessos em 2004, Then and Now, que apresentou duas novas músicas, 'Real Good Looking Boy' e 'Old Red Wine' e, em setembro de 2006, a banda lançou Endless Wire, seu primeiro álbum de estúdio desde 1982, It’s Hard, que precedeu uma turnê mundial de 100 shows e o lançamento do documentário Amazing Journey, indicado ao Grammy. Em 2014, a banda comemorou seu 50º aniversário com The Who Hits 50!, álbum que virou uma grande turnê pelo Reino Unido, Europa e Estados Unidos, culminando em dois concertos no festival Desert Trip, no sul da Califórnia, ao lado de artistas como Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young e Roger Waters. Sobre o Rock in Rio O Rock in Rio é o maior evento de música e entretenimento do mundo. Criado em 1985 e com 32 anos de vida, é parte relevante da história da música mundial. O evento já soma 17 edições, 101 dias e 1.604 atrações musicais. Ao longo destes anos, mais de 8,5 milhões de pessoas passaram pelas Cidades do Rock. Nascido no Rio de Janeiro, o Rock in Rio conquistou não só o Brasil como, também, Portugal, Espanha e Estados Unidos, sempre com a ambição de levar todos os estilos de música aos mais variados públicos. Muito mais que um evento de música, o Rock in Rio pauta-se também por ser um evento responsável e sustentável. Em 2001, através do projeto social “Por um mundo melhor”, assumiu o compromisso de conscientizar as pessoas para o fato de que pequenas atitudes no dia-a-dia são o caminho para fazer do mundo um lugar melhor para todos. Em 2013, o Rock in Rio recebeu a certificação da norma ISO 20121 – Eventos Sustentáveis, um reconhecimento do poder realizador da marca que desenvolve diversas ações com vista à construção de um mundo melhor, como a criação de 182.500 empregos diretos e indiretos no total das 17 edições, e mais de R$ 71 milhões investidos em causas socioambientais e a construção de um legado positivo para as cidades onde o evento é realizado.

  • An Enigma Wrapped in a Riddle Shrouded in Mystery…Buckethead! by Fumaku! 6-13-08 (Friday the 13Th) Revised 2/4/10 Meet Buckethead…An Enigma Wrapped…Yada, Yada, Yada
    An Enigma Wrapped in a Riddle Shrouded in Mystery…Buckethead! By FuMaku! 6-13-08 (Friday the 13th) Revised 2/4/10 Meet Buckethead…an enigma wrapped…yada, yada, yada. Most of you reading this have probably never heard of Buckethead, unless you’re into guitar-shredder extraordinaires and even then maybe not. Some of you may only be aware of Buckethead due to his brief brush with pop culture as a short lived guitar player for Axel Rose’s reconstituted Guns N Roses, though it was years before Chinese Democracy came out. I came to know of Buckethead after seeing him play second guitar with Primus at Ozzfest way back when in the 90’s. After seeing this strange, freakishly tall, bean pole with long hair wearing a porcelain white mask (devoid of expression) sporting a stylish KFC bucket as a hat… shred like an 80’s guitar god. I had to investigate further. After learning that Buckethead had CD’s available, I scoured all the local record stores (When there were Record Stores!) and was rewarded when I found two recently released discs at one of the stores. I would describe these albums as mostly instrumental, techno metal funk forays into prog rock, which I love, so I have been an avid fan ever since. Also since then I have come to realize that, to say Buckethead is prolific would be an understatement. Aside from releasing what seems to be several albums per year every year for nearly 20 years, Buckethead also plays on many other artists’ albums in addition to playing in side bands, such as Praxis, Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains and, coming soon to a chicken coop near you, Science Faxtion.

  • The Most Expensive Album Never Released | the Times
    14/05/2015 The most expensive album never released | The Times The most expensive album never released Burhan Wazir Published at 12:00AM, March 18 2005 Guns N’ Roses started recording Chinese Democracy in the mid­Nineties. But a decade and $13m later, Axl Rose still has to deliver IN THE HALCYON days before international terrorism cast an influence over contemporary songwriting and long before file­ sharing ransacked the music industry, I interviewed Matt Sorum in Los Angeles. Sorum, a drummer who had recently left Guns N’Roses, then the most successful rock group in the world, was, at the time, nursing his bruises. As we chatted, Sorum did his best to explain why he had fallen out with Guns N’Roses’s enigmatic and volatile lead singer Axl Rose, a frontman with a reputation every bit as controversial as that of Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison. Rose, now five years into the recording of a new Guns N’Roses album, their first release since 1993’s The Spaghetti Incident, had become a near­ recluse at his Malibu mansion. Guns N’Roses had fallen into disarray. While Rose held on to the bandname and had started work on a new album, called Chinese Democracy, Sorum had left in 1997 alongside the rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke and bassist Duff McKagen. The lead guitarist, Slash, had quit in 1996. It has now been a decade since Guns N’Roses first started recording sessions for the elusive Chinese Democracy — Axl Rose refuses to conclude his efforts with a release. This despite an ever­changing roster of studio musicians, engineers, producers, consultants and executives who have rung up a white elephant costing around $13 million.

  • Guns N' Roses – 03
    GUNS N' ROSES – 03. Juni 2018 – Berlin, Olympiastadion – Not In This Lifetime – Tour - Support: GRETA VEN FLEET, MANIC STREET PREACHERS -Text und Fotos: Holger Ott Sie standen nicht in meinem Terminkalender. Zum einen zu teuer, zum Anderen bin ich nicht so der Fan von AXL ROSE'S Stimme und sein Schwenker zu AC/DC kann man auch mit gemischten Gefühlen betrachten. Dennoch, sie haben trotz wenigen CDs in ihrer Laufbahn einige gute Songs hervorgebracht, die jedem im Ohr geblieben sind. Umso überraschender das Comeback, obwohl AXL, wie im Tournamen bestätigt, "Niemals wieder" mit SLASH auf einer Bühne stehen wollte. Aber, wie fast überall, regiert auch hier das Geld die Welt und wer weiß, was die alten Recken auf die Kralle bekommen haben, um über die Zwistigkeiten hinwegzusehen. Mein Ticket ist ein kurzfristiges Geschenk, welches ich dann doch dankend entgegen nehme, um mir einen netten Abend im Berliner Olympiastadion zu machen. Für Konzerte ist dieses riesige Oval eigentlich völlig ungeeignet. Man sitzt oder steht, egal wo, immer zu weit vom Geschehen entfernt. Die Preise haben es auch inzwischen in sich, die Schlangen vor den Klos werden stündlich länger und die Akustik lässt zu wünschen übrig. So auch heute. Angekündigt sind zwei Vorbands. Den Reigen eröffnen GRETA VAN FLEET aus den USA. Dreißig Minuten werden ihnen ab 17 Uhr zugestanden. Der Name war mir geläufig, die Musik überhaupt nicht. Also erst einmal eine kleine Recherche im WWW und mal sehen, was dort so ausgespuckt wird. Drei Brüder und ein Kumpel werden mir angezeigt und der merkwürdige Bandname, ist der Name einer Einwohnerin aus ihrem Heimatort.
