Children of The Mushroom – Lady – California Grassfield – Cast of A Thousand – Blu Coats – Bricklayer Love. To see some more info on some of these bands check out this post.
MTV.com talked to Rob Zombie about the upcoming album Educated Horses…
“Before Ozzfest, I didn’t have any plans to tour again at all. I was sort of sick of it, truthfully. Everything with my last band started to turn ugly and it wasn’t that fun,” he explained. “With the new band, I just had such a good time that really, as corny as it sounds, it seemed like the old days, we’re having a band, we’re playing and it’s just fun. Once being in a band turns stressful, you go, ‘What the f— am I doing?’ It was really fun, and we came off the tour and started making a record and it just clicked. The record … we were like, ‘These are the best songs ever. It would be stupid not to finish it.”
Back in October, Zombie and the band entered Los Angeles’ Chop Shop Studios to write and record the follow-up to 2001’s The Sinister Urge; Zombie co-produced the album with Scott Humphrey. On Friday, the guys put the finishing touches on the LP, called Educated Horses. Zombie said the disc will include 11 tracks including an acoustic number called “Death of It All,” “Seventeen Year Locusts” and the album’s first single, “Foxy, Foxy” and should land in stores on March 28.
Hank Williams III will be releasing a new album at the end of February. The self produced Straight To Hell was recorded on a $400 Korg D-1600 and will be a 13 songs long and stretch out over two discs, described as one done right, the other done wrong.
The album features 12 songs on the first disc features additional musicians described as “super pickers, the ones I can’t afford to take on the road.”
The second disc is one long track, featuring his first cover of his grandfather’s work “I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You” and a Wayne “The Train” Hancock tune. It’s described as “nothing at all like you see coming” and “in spots even a little psychedelic.”
The CD set will be released by Curb Records.
This site has a great archive of Dave in the mornings.NOPE.
These are kooky good. I used to make a lot of fun of David Lee Roth and BMF HATED IT. He loved and adored Roth and no matter what would always defend him. I know we have at least two framed fairly naked DLR pictures around here. You know the ones. I plan to get a cup of coffee and listen to one of these a day in honor of my BMF. But I’ll probably still make fun of DLR. đ
Aerosmith says they are gonna take Cheap Trick on the road with them. The two bands hook up starting March 2 at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, and they’ll cross North America for five weeks, ending up at General Motors Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, on April 9th. The two bands have known each other since the ’70s, and they toured together back in 2004.
Now you can look over each show on Dave’s new blog.Nope.
Ok here we go with this David Lee Roth person. Ha! I loved giving BMF crap about DLR. The blog is gone but he does have one hell of a cool blog now that’s pretty current. No telling how long it will last but it is great in design with lots of great graphics and photos. I’ll take a look. David Lee Roth’s current blog.
One good thing I’ll say about DLR is he and I have the same birthdate. đ October 10, except he’s older than me.~This post updated by ~mc on 8/6/17~
But good old Dave has an AWESOME website with all The Roth Shows and lots of great photos. ~mc updated 8/6/17
