A Drawing to Meet Alice In Chains

Yo check this out my brothers and sisters


Alice In Chains' video for their current single "Your Decision" has plenty of genre elements to it and has generated some controversy what with its debauchery-filled similarities to Eyes Wide Shut and Hostel: Part II. Things are left open-ended, however, and now comes a "Your Decision" comic that picks up where the video leaves off with fans helping to determine how the story ends.


AIC has teamed up with PopCult and Devil's Due Publishing for a contest that gives you the chance to add your own chapter to the storyline depicted in the video. The master storyboard and opening chapter found below set the tone. But first, here's the video of "Your Decision" off AIC's Black Gives Way to Blue album in case you haven't seen it yet.

It's Been A While

Wow a little snow on the ground and the next thing you know, 10 days have past since your last blog entry. Sorry. No excuses I just got lazy as hell. I'm also a little depressed after waking up today and realizing there is not only no more football on for SEVEN MONTHS, but since it's Valentines Day, watching the Giants has been replaced with watching Giant wastes of 90 minutes. All weekend. J Lo, Britney Spears, Debra Messing, Reese Witherspoon and her pointy chin, and every bad actress are crying, bitching, and complaining on my T. V. about their broken heart, Whah. My heart was broken when the Colts stomped all over the Jets in the AFC championship game and Brad Pitt didn't show up in the end to make everything allright. Valentines Day is a total sham so I put together a little list of songs to make the day go by a little faster, a little easier, and with a LOT less estrogen


This Love- Pantera
Figured You Out- Nickleback
She Hates Me- Puddle Of Muddle
Miserable- Lit
Crazy Bitch- Buckcherry
Used To Love Her- Guns and Roses
Keep Away- Godsmack
Dont Go Away Mad- Motley Crue


Happy Valentines Day to everone. I'll see you on St Patricks Day at the Dubliner

NEW Alice In Chains Interview

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! A new Chains inteview below from the Grammy's

Offspring: Not THE Offspring, others bands offspring

Frances Bean Cobain is making her singing debut with My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way. Frances Bean is the 17 year old daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love and considering the genetics she's had to work with is surprisingly cute although she is a minor and I feel creepy for even calling her cute. Anyway, it got me thinking about other famous rock star offspring and I wondered if ANYONE lived up to their parents footsteps. There was the Wallflowers featuring Bob Dylans son Jakob on vocals. They had a few hits and even once has Bruce Springsteen as their bus driver for shows around Central Jersey but they phased out pretty quickly. You had the Kelly Osbourne debacle where she covered Madonna's Papa Don't Preach with Incubus backing her up. That led to the butchering of one of my all time favorite Black Sabbath songs, Changes. There was also a late 90's band called Deadsy which was fronted by the son of Greg Allman and Cher. Talk about bad genetics? I wish Frances Bean. Her mom may be a fuck up but she was a damn good front woman and Kurt, well some would say he made history

We Really Are The World

All of the benefits and donations to the Haiti earthquake situation has sparked a ton of controversy in the U. S. There really is no right answer to weather now is the the time for America to aiding other nations while their own is such dire straits. It's a Head vs Heart thing and the only answer is that their are two answers. Well bands like Weezer, The Donna's and Ween (holy fuck do you remember them?) are getting behind a cause I HOPE doesn't raise nearly the same amount of questions as the haiti benefits are raising.

For a minimum donation of .99 cents each, you can get rare and unreleased songs featuring a whole bunch of bands and ALL proceeds go to TargetCancer. TargetCancer is a non profit group dedicated to finding cures for rare but equally as dangerous forms of cancer. The group was founded by Boston lawyer Paul Poth who's passion for music led to one of the worlds most diverse CD collections ranging from classical to death metal. When Paul was 38, he was diagnosed with hepatobiliary duct cancer. Yeah I never heard of it and neither did his doctors. Paul Poth was a determined man and even though he passed away two years later at the age of 40, his foundation will be his legacy as the fight rages on, and an army of generous artists have donated music to take cancer down. below is the website where you can get your rare songs for a donation and a track listing of what's available. Lets help kick cancers ass

Weezer- "The Rat Race"
Ween - "DC Won't Do You No Good"
The Donnas- "Can't Keep It a Secret"
Cowboy Junkies- "In My Time of Need" (Ryan Adams cover)
Dean and Britta- "International Velvet Theme" (Caledonia Mix)
Buffalo Tom- "Thrown" (Live From Somerville Theater)
Linda Thompson- "Never the Bride"
Mike Viola- "This is Love, This is Life"
Drug Rug- "Coffee In the Morning" (Alternate Version)
The Gravel Pit- "Yellow Light Purple"
Happy Ending- "Through Your Eyes"

Greatest Song You Never Heard: Faith No More - A Small Victory

Faith No More were always too weird to be HUGE, but they were pretty big for a while. Do you remember MTV's Buzz Cuts? This is one of my favorites. You can find this song on 1991's Angel Dust Album, featuring a white dove on the cover. I hope you like this the way I do

Nailin' the Grammy Awards

I'm not a big fan of the Grammy Awards. The though of a group of suits choosing what album, song, and singer are better than other albums, songs, and singers? Better than what? Says WHO? I do like the live performances but the Grammy's have been featuring more of the manufactured garbage I can't stand. WE pick the greatest songs, the greatest albums, the greatest singers. Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor feels similar and the best part of all of this? It looks like Trent is working on a new album. You think he cares if the new stuff wins a Grammy?


Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor had this to say on his Twitter account this past weekend: "Grammy asshole weekend in LA. Yuck... The Grammys = the old guard / old media propping up their puppets trying to convince the outside world (and each other) they're relevant." But was back to business on Monday when he told fans "1st official day of work in the studio."

ALICE IN CHAINS YOUR DECISION MAKING OF

Thought you might enjoy checking this out. I've been enjoying the crap out of JSE playing No decsion and I figured you'd be into this video of Alice In Chains talking about the new song

Freebird WITH COWBELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/23/will-ferrell-free-bird-vi_n_433975.html

Jay Leno's an asshole and it's a no brainer that America rallied behind Conan for
this late night war. We love an underdog right? Well so does Will Ferrell, Beck, Ben Harper, and Billy Gibbons from ZZ TOP. They tore through Freebird, and it was amazing. I mean, Will Ferrell can't sing, but it didn't matter. it was fitting, emotional, and at the end, there was even a little COWBELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta have more cowbell

Dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy Dick is in trouble again. Remember a few years ago when he got his ass kicked by Jon Lovits?




HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Actor and comedian Andy Dick has been charged with two felony counts of sexual abuse in West Virginia.

Dick was arraigned Saturday afternoon in Cabell County Magistrate Court. Court documents say he's accused of grabbing a bouncer's crotch and groping and kissing a male patron earlier in the morning at a bar in Huntington. Magistrate Patty Verbage Spence set bail at $60,000.

"Andy is stunned by these allegations and we are strongly denying any criminal conduct," Dick's attorney, Jeff Rubenstein, said in a statement.

Spence set a Feb. 2 hearing for the 44-year-old Dick, who was in Huntington to perform at the Funny Bone Comedy Club. Funny Bone managing partner Tom Schaefer posted Dick's bail and said Dick is "absolutely still on the schedule for Saturday and Sunday."

The Purple Reign Is Over

Even though Prince did the half time show at Superbowl 41, he just doesn't seem like a big football fan. He was in Minnesota for the Vikings big win over the Cowboys but looking like I do at family dinners. Turns out he was so moved by the Vikings win, he went home and wrote Purple and Gold. Too bad the song had only one week before it turned sour. The Vikings season ended last night thanks to a loss to the New Orleans Saints

Freedom of Speech?

A few weeks ago I said that only the Papparazzi can make me root for Axl Rose. At this point, I'd hold someones camera while they stomped the snot out of the red headed step child. Read below


According to TMZ, GUNS N' ROSES fans were forced to take sides in the legendary war between Axl Rose and Slash - after security at a recent GNR show banned fans from wearing Slash gear inside the show.

It all went down at the GNR show in Canada last Wednesday - concert security informed fans that they were required to turn their Slash t-shirts inside out .... and leave their top hats outside.

TMZ spoke with a member of the concert security team who confirmed the marching orders - and told us the instructions were passed down from a producer for the band.

We're told a few fans took the high road and went home ... but most just sucked it up and did what they were told.

It's All About The Name

DONT SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU ABOUT THE VIDEO


When I first heard about Ozzy calling his album Soul Sucka, I was immediately struck with flashbacks to that horrendous period of time when the metal god sang with both Busta Ryhmes and the Wu Tang Clan. Now there's no evidence that Ozzy's going urban, but now at least there's nothing to make you think that way


Ozzy Osbourne may not be planning a Black Sabbath reunion, but he is in the final stages of recording his next solo album. The disc was originally titled Soul Sucka, but Ozzy recently changed his mind about that. “When we put that on the Internet none of my fan base liked the title,” says Osbourne. “They were like, ‘I can’t imagine me walking around the fucking house with the words ‘Soul Sucka’ on my T-shirt.’ So I was like, ‘Fuck it. I’ve got to come up with something else!’ ” The now untitled set is due out in July, the same month Osbourne says that Ozzfest will return after a one-year break. “After Ozzfest I’m doing the most extensive tour of my life,” he says. “It’ll be something like, 3,025 dates.”

WTF Billy Corgan?????????????????

http://www.myspace.com/smashingpumpkins


This is the new Smashing Pumpkins single. All I'll say is that a Smashing Pumpkins with only Billy Corgan is pretty much the same as Axl Rose being the only guy in "Guns and Roses"

NEW STP ALBUM DONE

Below is an article with the DeLeo brothers about the new STP album. That is a beautiful fucking thing to type


In 2008, San Diego alt-rockers Stone Temple Pilots ended a five-year split and reunited for a massive U.S. tour, kicking off with a rockin' extravaganza at Harry Houdini's old Hollywood mansion. And then the magic really started to happen: the quartet began jamming during sound checks and soon had an album's worth of demos.

This May, STP -- singer Scott Weiland, bassist Robert DeLeo, guitarist Dean DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz -- will return with a new yet-to-be titled album, their first since 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da. To get the 411 on how the recording process was coming, we rang up the main songwriting force behind the band: the DeLeo Bros.

WATCH: Scott Weiland's Romantic New Video
..Here the siblings discuss the hardships and awards of reuniting, Wii bowling, Weiland's sobriety, and the '60s vibe of STP's upcoming album. "If [fans] are expecting another 'Plush,' they are going to be let down," says Dean DeLeo.

Where are you guys in the recording process now?
Dean DeLeo: We're done recording and will start mixing Monday.

Robert DeLeo: Yep, we just finished the last two songs at my home studio, and we're going through the editing process and getting everything sounding tasty. A gentleman by the name of Chris Lord-Alge, who actually mixed a song of ours back in early 2000 called "All in the Suit That You Wear," will mix the new album.

What should fans expect from this record?
Robert: Fans are going get a great STP record. We know what STP sounds like -- we have a sonic blueprint. It's always worked for me to put myself in the ears of the listener. I ask myself, "What kind of STP record would I want to hear?" The answer is a really cohesive record with songs that are going to be lasting. Fans don't necessarily want to hear songs from me being the best person I can be. Those songs are for a solo record. STP fans don't want that side of me. This band is attractive because we bring it to the edge of a cliff and write songs that have attitude.

Can you tell me about a few songs from the album?
Robert: There's a song called "Between the Lines," which musically is like Paul Revere and the Raiders, with that '60s sound that I've always been a fan of. It's a '60s rockin' basher! There's another song called "Huckleberry Crumble." It's funny: these were actually working titles from when Dean, Eric [Kretz], and I were writing the music at Eric's studio. Scott has gravitated toward them and we're officially using those titles, "Huckleberry Crumble" included. [Faux British accent]: "And it's another good rocker baby!"

Does STP have traditions or pastimes in the studio? Or is there anything you can't live without while recording?
Robert: If you have your laptop you're set. We have a good work ethic in the studio -- and it's a lot of work. You're writing, arranging, producing, and paying attention to the tones and sounds, and making the best record you can.

Dean: We've made a few records in houses and there's usually a tennis court or a pool. One time we filled up a pool with lime jello and jumped in naked. Another time we played tennis on horseback. This time we got really into Wii bowling! Eric's studio is in the dregs of downtown Los Angeles, and there were three things to pass the time when we weren't working: a pool table, a ping-pong table, or Wii bowling. And the Wii bowling really grabbed us, man.

Lead singer Cornell later formed Audioslave and then embarked on a solo career, with mixed results.

However, his solo effort You Know My Name was used in the James Bond film Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s first outing as 007.

Cornell announced on January 1 that he was getting back together with lead guitarist Kim Thayil, drummer Matt Cameron and bassist Ben Shepherd and there would be a Soundgarden reunion this year, although no firm details of where they will be playing have been revealed yet.

Cameron is also the permanent drummer for alternative rockers Pearl Jam, who are playing Hard Rock Calling in London’s Hyde Park on June 25 and a string of dates across Europe in early July.

British heavy metal giants Iron Maiden and German band Rammstein have already been confirmed as headliners for the three-day Sonisphere Festival taking place within Knebworth’s grounds from July 30 to August 1.

Others on the bill include the legendary Alice Cooper, who will close the Saturn stage on the Friday night, British alt-rockers Placebo, thrash metal acts Slayer and Anthrax, Papa Roach, The Cult, Mötley Crüe and Iggy & The Stooges.

Last year’s inaugural Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth saw the likes of Metallica, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, Heaven &
