The Foo Fighters

March 27th, 2010

The rumours are out in the music mill once again and they are bigger than they have ever been before in the history of music.

The band in question this time is the world famous, Foo Fighters, a rock band, who have sold out stadiums in every continent across the entire world.

The rumours are that the band’s time is rapidly coming to an end as their brief European 2010 tour pans out as expected, making the band a few more million and a few more fans.

Dave Grohl, former drummer for Nirvana, has said that the band have agreed to take a break from music after this tour. He even said on NME that he did not have any idea when he would see the other band members again and hence did not know if it was the end or not.

The question is, when you are in a band this big and popular, what do you do next? The band have sold out Wembley stadium and played in front of 90,000 fans on more than one occasion.

The Foo Fighters have become one of the most iconic rock bands of this day and age and the thought of them not going onto make more music together is not even worth thinking about.

If it is the end, and no one has said it is yet, then it will be one hell of a way to bow out of music. Grohl has already started playing a few solo shows and has even started another band, Them Crooked Vultures, with the front man of Queens of the Stone Age.

Any Foo fans that read this, chin up and live in hope. Grohl has always come back bigger and better than before. It is just a case of whether it’s in Foo form this time or in another way, shape or form.

March 16th, 2010

The U2 concerts which are scheduled to be played across Europe this year has got large respondents. The large popularity of the band from Dublin has led to a very amazing demand in the ticket sales. However there are still plenty of dates during August and September 2010 with available U2 tickets. The European U2 360 tour tickets have already enjoyed spectacular interest, but the demand of U2 tour tickets does not get lower. The Irish band is highly popular through out the European continent and especially it is very much famous in the United Kingdom, which has an amazing number of fans in that region. The sale of U2 2010 tickets is currently going on at a great pace, so do not wait till they all are over.

Are free iTunes codes a myth?

March 14th, 2010

Since Apple released iTunes as it’s premier platform for downloading and selling music, fans have been trying to find ways to get it for free in any way they can. Some websites claim to have iTunes codes generators and other websites have real, legitimate discount coupons.

A website I recently found stands above the fray with a truly free way to get iTunes codes. Not only can you earn as many dollars in iTunes codes as you like, but it is a free process that anyone can take part in.

It only takes 3 simple steps!

  1. Register at iTunes Codes Cash
  2. Complete Free Surveys to Earn “Codes”
  3. Swap “Codes” for iTunes Gift Cards

iTunes codes generators and websites that claim to give away iTunes codes for free for no reason are really just a waste of time and energy. The codes won’t work and usually they are just wanting you to download something or input your information to make money from you.

If you want to get free iTunes codes, you can. You will have to earn them by spending a bit of time filling out free surveys which is really easy and can be fun too.

This is a simple and easy way to get $20, $100, or even $200 in iTunes gift card codes and it can be done repeatedly so you would never have to buy iTunes codes again.

The Arctic Monkeys

March 12th, 2010

The Arctic Monkeys have said they will not be making an appearance at Glastonbury any time soon until they have completed a new album.

The band’s latest offering met much criticism within the music community for not being as good as their first two records.

It is thought that the band do not want to appear at Glastonbury, an event they have previously sold out, until they have some new material, which is worthy of the event and the occasion.

The Arctics have shaped the face of modern indie and have become one of the highest selling bands in the modern era. They were praised for bring a raw edge to commercial music.

However, this has always been the band’s problem. As they were so good, it is expected of them all the time. Their next record has to be an absolute belter to stop them from being confined to the dustbin of music history.

The problem with so many indie bands of the age is how to maintain their success and carry it on over an extended period of time. Glastonbury badly needs them back after the flop of Jay-Z headlining in recent years.

Humbug is exactly is it is titled. It is nothing compared to Whatever You Say I Am That’s What I’m Not. Until the band can get back to genius sounds, rifts and rhythms of that first album, many people will not be going to Glasto.

The band needs to go back and do the simple things, which made them massively popular in the first place. Hopefully this will not take too long and hopefully they will not flop to the same degree as other supposed indie sensations.

Buy your tickets for Glasto but do not expect it to be Arctic cold any time soon.

Blood Red Shoes, Review and Mp3 Music Download

March 12th, 2010

Blood Red Shoes are the name of one British band you could be hearing a lot more of in the coming weeks and months.

They’ve been around for a while but they have just sent out a record called Fire Like This. The good news is that it’s taking off big time and has been well received in magazines such as NME and Rolling Stones.

So what defines these guys and makes them popular? If you listen to the music you may actually be putt off pretty quickly but you have to stick with it to really see their heart and value.

The album is more of a sticking it to the man sort of a record as opposed to trying to be what it’s not and create songs, which will be echoed around stadiums by 40 or 50 thousand people.

It’s clear these guys just love to get together in their Brighton studio are start putting the ideas around and seeing what grows. They’ve pretty much admitted that a lot of their first album, Box of Secrets, did just originate from jamming sessions, which panned out at practices.

Stick with these guys, they’ll make you smile after a long day and they’ll take your mind off of some of the taxing wonders that this world has to offer.

It’s probably a good idea to see them out and about now before they get too big. If they refine their sound a little more then they are going places. Big places with large food and beer tents and packed full of thousands of people.

It’s clear they need a little exposure but this will come once the word of mouth starts to turn into a big deal and phenomenon. Get the record, put it on and dance away. Simple as that.
