Metro Station Call It Quits

Hey Everyone!

So it seems that the inevitable MAY have finally happened. Yes, my friends, pop punk wonder boys Metro Station, who took the world by storm with their Hannah Montana ties, MAY HAVE BROKEN UP. Yes, the rumors are flying that the trio have called it quits once and for all, leaving the realm of egotistical, over tattooed emo rock open for the next up and comers.

Now, truth be told I did used to like this band. I saw them back before they hit it big with Shake It and they had SO much potential. Young, enthusiastic, somewhat talented... and then they blew it by leeching of the Miley Cyrus fame connection, and turning away from talent in order to jump on the pop punk band wagon. Sorry boys- you lost it. You lost all the passion and soul in your music. Its sad, but it happens. Since Blake & Andrew left, I've basically been WAITING to hear this, and I'm curious to see some confirmation beyond a University Press haha. However, point remains... I believe it.

So what do you think of the breakup? Seems like a lot of us saw it coming

Green Day Back In The Studio Already

Hey Everyone!

I'm Back! Did you miss me? I missed writing thats for sure. Double vision is pretty much gone, and no more aversion to light! YAY. Lets hope the little furry angels dont manage to pull that stunt again.

So apparently for California punk trio Green Day, there is no such thing as too much studio time! Less than a year after the release of 21st Century Breakdown, their follow up to smash hit American Idiot, the boys are already in the process of demoing some new material they wrote on the road. Kerrang Magazine is reporting that in a recent interview, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong claims the band used their time off between shows to start working on the new tracks. I think this is good news, at least now we know its not likely that we'll be waiting another 4-5 years for the next brilliant piece of work from these guys! However, I have to say my expectations are getting higher now that they're clearly getting more ambitious, not to mention a huge head start with lots of time to perfect the tracks. Pressure is on boys... even if you really have nothing left to prove to anyone haha.

So what do you think of the early demoing? Excited? I am!

Rock On,

Aerosmith Frontman Kissing The Past Goodbye?

Hey everyone!

So unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you've heard the news that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler may be calling it quits....

 

Rumors have been running rampant since a slew of interviews neither confirming nor denying the current state of the group took place early this month. Aerosmith recently cancelled a large number of tour dates and Tyler has had a tough year dealing with injuries and rehab visits. These have been cited to be possible factors in the ongoing troubles within the band. The band has taken to the press for (an attempt at) rumor control. Guitarist Joe Perry told the Las Vegas Sun "Steven has quit, as far as I can tell". Tyler has also been quoted as making claims about a new solo project. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure there will be many fans left saddened by the news of a breakup. Aerosmith has been a prominent fixture in the rock scene for many generations, an icon of the genre. The music carries on though, and I'm sure no one will forget their legacy.

How would you feel if Aerosmith really does call it quits? What if Tyler leaves but the rest carry on? Would it be the same? Would you go see a Steven-less Aerosmith concert? Let me know what you think!

Rock On!
