Okay, I’ll admit it. Somewhere along the vast information highway known as the Internet, I missed the memo that proclaimed Pink was going to be a superstar in 2013.

When Alecia Beth Moore (aka Pink) released the album, I’m Not Dead, in 2006, her career most certainly was. Whatever hype that had stayed glued to her shapely figure (the one constant in her life) through the first two albums had all but vanished. Career momentum had virtually bottomed out to the point she was playing small clubs and theaters. The last rites on her career would be administered by her record label Jive, when they released her Greatest Hits album in 2010. But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum. Pink survived, her label did not.” Read more »

After 28 years of hearing my father praise Canadian singer Gino Vannelli as one of the greatest musicians of all time, I was starting to think this man was a myth. Sure I’d heard his music, I’d stared at his hair in pictures, and I’d grown up hearing stories about the soulful singer. His absence from the American music scene had me somewhat doubting his existence. When word got out he would be performing a show at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, I almost fell over reading the announcement. I promptly bought a ticket to see what all the fuss was about. Read more »

Whether by coincidence or design, Geddy Lee, Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson took to the stage as the waning strains of the Genesis classic, “I Know What I Like,” trailed off on the house P.A. The intro couldn’t have been more perfect as the band proceeded to launch a dazzling three-hour aural and visual assault on the minds and senses of a sold-out American Airlines Center crowd. Read more »

If there ever was a band that lived up to the saying, ‘expect the unexpected’, then Grace Potter & the Nocturnals certainly fit the bill. Every time this band releases a new album and goes on tour, a metamorphosis within the group has taken place. This year was no exception.  Read more »

JAM Interviews Rob Zombie On Creating A Monster Idol

Robert Bartleh Cummings, better known by his legal name, Rob Zombie, has created quite an impressive resume for himself the past 25 years. Most people know him as a rock star, film director and horror enthusiast. Though the musician first rose to prominence as the founding member of White Zombie in the 1980′s, the singer has really found his voice as a solo performer. Read more »

Gotye Concert Review Verizon Theatre Grand Prairie, TX October 12, 2012

Gotye

Verizon Theatre
Grand Prairie, TX
October 12, 2012

Having heard rumors that the Verizon Theater in Grand Prairie was sold out for weeks in advance of the Gotye concert, I was astonished to see that the venue wasn’t even half full and the upper sections above the luxury boxes was curtained off to create the illusion the building was nearer capacity than it actually was. Read more »

An INTERVIEW With – Marilyn Manson: Born Villain or Antichrist Superstar?

Marilyn Manson:
Born Villain or Antichrist Superstar?

“The truth is I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn’t.”

That insightful observation was made by the immortal pop icon Marilyn Monroe. In truth, it could be the mantra of Marilyn Manson’s creator Brian Warner. Let’s get one thing straight. This Canton, Ohio native is no idiot. In fact, he doesn’t suffer fools lightly. Society begs for sensationalism and Warner gave it to them with his controversial alter ego. The name, a combination of Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe and death cult leader Charles Manson, makes a mockery out of the very society that made them both famous, though for totally different reasons.

CD Reviews Muse Title: The 2nd Law Label: Warner Bros. Review By Tim Taylor

Muse CD The 2nd Law

This year, some of the best bands in the world are releasing new albums, but The 2nd Law is by Muse is by far one of the most anticipated. Every album this English trio creates is very different from the last, and this one is no exception. The opening track, “Supremacy”, starts off with a cool, heavy groove. It delivers plenty of lead singer/guitarist Matthew Bellamy’s signature high pitch vocals, and leads into a jaw-dropping high-speed instrumental jam that will make your head spin. Read more »
