Sex Pistols – Page 3

The SEX PISTOLS are set to record their first new material in 30 years after being spurred on by the success of their recent reunion tour. The legendary rockers got back on stage for a series of live dates last year (07) and the positive reaction from fans has convinced them to start work new tracks.The group hope to start recording in the first half of 2008 so that the new songs will be ready for their appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival in June (08).

Drummer Paul Cook says, “There’s talk of new material. The only problem is that it’s a bit hard to work on anything as John (Lydon) and Steve (Jones) are in America and Glen (Matlock) and I are in the U.K.. so it’s a case of finding the time to get together.

“We might not pull together an album but hopefully there will be some new stuff in time for the summer.“

Pretty Vacant

Official Website

Now defunct, Pretty Vacant were an awesome Sex Pistols cover band with ROB on vocals making it real.
Update: I just met Steve Mack at the Yacht Club who played in Pretty Vacant and Julius Pleaser as well. Even though I was fairly wasted and can’t remember every single detail of our conversation I do remember enough to know we had a very good conversation about music in general and am looking forward to having more conversations like that one in the future. Very cool guys. Stay tuned to MusicFilter for updates on future projects of both Rob and Steve.

View photos of their last show here. If anyone from the band is checking out this page e-mail me with any other info you would like to see included on this page.

I Walk The Line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I’ll admit that I’m a fool for you
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

You’ve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can’t hide
For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

John Lydon answered questions in a webchat with the Sun Online and as usual with anything he says it was very interesting. Included is his response to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When asked if he would play with the Pistols again he said “I could see a day when we played live together again – but only if it was in Japan and for plenty of filthy yen! My moral code isn’t that strict..”

David Lee Roth

December 16, 2005

Diamond Dave talks with the NY Times…in a hotel…its a great great preview as to what will come on “FREE FM”.

Here are some bits of the article:
“I think I’m the one single voice who has united the liberal left with the Nascar voting bloc,” he says of the audience for his music, which encompasses six multiplatinum Van Halen albums and eight solo releases. Different gig: Mr. Roth is just a few weeks from taking over what he describes as “the hottest seat in American radio,” Mr. Stern’s at WXRK-FM, a job for which he deems himself uniquely qualified: Sure he can sing, but as a conversationalist, just wait, he will knock your socks off.

“Come on, I can bond with a fire hydrant,” he says, explaining his faith in his conversational prowess. “I can interview a Dalmatian,” he adds. “It’s about the capacity to entertain, like at a really good Algonquin table. I’ve got a fourth-degree black belt in conversation; I think in bold caps!” Obviously.

HE is not, by the way, out to attempt anything so gauche as to replace Mr. Stern. “I’m not the new Howard,” Mr. Roth says. “Your editorial bias is entirely based on your memories, and I couldn’t think of more diverse backgrounds than between the two of us. The only thing I have distinctly in common with Howard is a wicked sense of humor. And Hanukkah.”

His 6-to-10-a.m. slot starts Jan. 3 at the newly dubbed FREE FM, his home studio in New York City. (The first guest is his Uncle Manny Roth, who ran the storied Cafe Wha in Greenwich Village.) His only diva-esque request for revamping Mr. Stern’s space was the installation of a 10-by-10-foot patch of parquet floor. He is an incorrigible pacer – “I call it Dave’s famous walk to nowhere” – and plans to do his show standing up. Wearing army boots

Roth sings on versions of “Jump” and “Jamie’s Cryin'”. Other VH favorites given the bluegrass treatment include “I’ll Wait”, “Hot for Teacher” (by David Grisman and Sons), “Eruption”, “Panama” and “Unchained”.

Google Music Search

December 15, 2005

Google has just launched a music-specific search engine… mirroring successful services involving news, photos, and shopping results. The music offering, which went live early this morning, delivers artist-related images, lyrics, reviews, discographies, and news, as well as links to purchase CDs and downloads. The suite of results can be triggered by simply entering a music-specific query, like “Prince,” “All-American Rejects,” or “Mozart”. Several digital music stores are represented in the e-commerce results set, including iTunes, MSN Music, CD Universe, Rhapsody, and Wal-Mart. The service also aggregates reviews from sources including Rolling Stone, Canoe, and Blender, and compiles a consensus rating (out of five stars). Links to relevant lyrics sites are organized within song-specific pages….
I bet publishers won’t like this service.

The original punk rock comedian Richard Pryor died today of a heart attack. Dammit.

Death to the original punk rock comedian

December 10th, 2005 by BMF

Richard Pryor died today in a hospital close to home in Encino, CA. I remember Richard this way: My dad rented a video of Richards..around the 80’s…the first time I heard the word MOTHERFUCKER on a tv. He was raw for sure…a bet a lot of people in the comedy and film industry are thanking their lucky asses that Richard Pryor was born into this world..hence their carreers.

Prince’s “New” deal

Prince signs new deal with Uninversal and is expected to hit the road again following the next release…imagine that seeing how his last tour for Musicology made over 90 MILLION dollars. Like his last deal with Sony’s Columbia label, the deal looks like a “one off deal”.

The Music Industry goes after lyrics sites and tabulature sites. It has shut numerous sites down already.
