Sexy Female Bassist?

Looking a female that play a bass guitar is better than looking a female that play a guitar. When they play the bass, it is like looking to that some kind of sexy-aura, if you know what I feel.

Tal Wilkenfeld. Great chops, quite attractive, only 21 years old and has played with Jeff Beck, Chick Corea and others already.

Best youtube vid is with Jeff Beck at the 2007 Crossroads Festival, playing "Cause We've Ended as Lovers." In the DVD,, when you first see her you think she might be Beck's daughter, not a musician. Then you see her put on her bass, and you think, eye candy. Then she plays....

I saw that new girl with the Pumpkins live. She is a hottie. And I guess she must be pretty decent because alot of people auditioned for that gig, including the bassist from Jane's Addiction who "couldn't handle the songs" according to Billy Corgan, which I find kinda hard to believe. How could the bassist of a decent, pretty famous rock band not be able to handle Pumpkins songs? I think that was just Billy's excuse because he wanted the part to go to a hot female, regardless of whether she was the best or not.

Smashing Pumpkins - Java Rockin' Land

The Pumpkins had a show at this year Java Rockin' Land. People said that the show was great but Billy Corgan is not communicative with the audience. I didn't watch the three day show, but maybe if Creed was invited, I will be the first one bought the ticket!

You - Basil Valdez

You give me hope,
The strength, the will to keep on;
No one else can make me feel this way
And only you
Can bring out all the best I can do;
I believe you turn the tide
And make me feel real good inside.

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:
It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:
It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.

It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.

Slash showed the crowd his amazing skills. Myles Kennedy did heck of a job with that tone. But for Nothing to Say, I'm a little bit strange when heard his voice. Nevertheless, he was good!

Better Man - Robbie Williams

John Frusciante Second Departure

It's a little bit late, but I have just known that Mr.Frusciante had leave Red Hot Chili Pepper for the second time. In a short statement posted on both his blog and MySpace, the 39-year-old guitarist revealed that he left the band over a year ago after his musical interests “led me in a different direction.”

Frusciante leaves behind a band, who, through their revolutionary fusion of funk and rock, is perhaps the most influential group in the modern rock era. He also leaves behind Flea, with whom he shared one of rock's most distinctive bass-guitar partnerships. That quirky, funky Red Hot Chili Peppers sound, so perfectly complimented by the smoothness and melody of Frusciante's guitar, is now gone.

Yes, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a band all-too-familiar with guitarist changes, will go on as they always have, but the Frusciante-era of the Chili Peppers will ultimately go down as one of the most prominent groups in rock history.

John Frusciante's play is so RHCP's style. So, have you heard the latest album with new guitarist? What is your opinion?

Slash's 2010 World Tour

Yup, Slash is coming to our town! He will bring his band, Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, vocal), Bobby Schneck (rhythm guitar), Todd Kerns ( bass) and Brent Fitz (drum).

Stratocaster or Telecaster?

Which one is the best? What do you think? More people use the Strat than the Tele. Maybe because it is more popular. What about the sound?

When you play them both with a clean sound yes, there is a very big difference between a Strat and a Tele. The more you raise the gain though, the less apparent that difference becomes.

What distinguishes a Tele-sound is the twang that you get from the bridge pickup mounted directly in that huge metal bridge plate. And what distinguishes a Strat sound is that quack you get from the middle pickup combined in parallel with either of the other two pickups. Neither stock guitar can quite re-create the aforementioned conditions of the other. Tele's just-neck sound better than Strat's just-neck sound. The Tele's is more boxey and jazzy sounding.

Tele is more versatile. I mean, the Strat is good for rock, metal, blues, jazz and a bit of country but, to get all that plus a much better country sound, you'll want a Tele!

So, in conclusion, I feel that if you want to rock, buy a Strat, but if you want to add some blues in you rock, buy a Tele!

Still Got the Blues?

This 58 years old gramps, was sounded great in that particular song. I honestly don't know his other song, other than this and Parisienne Walkways. Anyway, this is a beautiful song. I really love the melody.


Use to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I found that the haeartache
was the price you have to pay
I found that that love is no friend of mine
I should have know'n time after time

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Use to be so easy
Fall in love again
But I found that the heartache
It's a roll that leeds to pain
I found that love is more than just a game
Play and to win
but you loose just the same

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I seal you face
You will my heart
there's an emty space
Used to be

(SOLO)

So long
it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Golden days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you

Where is the Rock?

It is been a while since the last rock-based singing competition. There were RockStar INXS and RockStar Supernova, which goal was the same, found a lead singer. The pop competitions like American Idol, Britain/America Got Talent, etc, are still on.

But where is the rock? I am eager to see any rock band finding its vocalist through a TV broadcast-competition.

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica

A few days ago, I watched Zombieland, a movie which told us when the zombies rule the world. In the opening, there was this song. Suddenly my body and heart moved for it. That is the greatness of Metallica's classic song.

Enjoy!

Bon Jovi's Fashion Style

It is Interesting to look for the changes of fashion from one band, especially rock band. Right now I will take you take a peek of Bon Jovi's fashion changes in their music era.


Yup, this was their picture during the 80's. You can called them "the bubble gum" band.


This was the picture during their 90's. Their started to changed their look into somewhat "mature". There are many popular songs created in this era, such as : always and someday I'll be Saturday nite.


New ere, new look. This was their look during the early 2000. "It's My Life" was their popular early 90's single.



And the last, is their latest look, in 2010. Great look, but bad songs. I don't like their song post "It's My Life" and "Have a Nice Day". They were so country!

Give us back the 90's Bon Jovi!
