Currently listening to Buckcherry's debut album...
This day in rock history: Live Aid takes place in 1985. Over 2 billion people around the globe watched or attended concerts in London, Philadelphia, Moscow, and other nations around the world to raise money and awareness for those stricken by famine in Ethiopia. Queen, Elvis Costello, the remaining members of Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, U2, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Black Sabbath, Crosby Still Nash and Young, Duran Duran and The Who all performed, among other acts. Go read that list again. If you're not impressed by that collection of talent, you and I probably wouldn't be friends.
June 13, 1942 - Roger McGuinn, vocalist/guitarist for The Byrds was born.
Two albums I have pre-ordered in the last 24 hours:
Buckcherry's newest album, which is available at www.bestbuy.com/buckcherry
The pre-order version comes with a bonus cd with acoustic versions of 6 songs.
The album will be released August 3rd.
On the same date, The Black Crowes are releasing Croweology, a 20-song album that consists of acoustic rearrangements of some of their biggest hits and favorite tracks. I'm picking that one up on tasty, delicious vinyl... You can pre-order at www.blackcrowes.com
In related news, the Black Crowes are hitting the road this fall for what could be their last tour for several years. If you have the opportunity, check them out. They are the best live band I have ever seen and they are going to be doing 3-hour sets, half acoustic and half electric, which is something that will be well worth the price of admission. I have tickets for the Raleigh, Jacksonville, Orlando and both Atlanta shows, but the tour is going coast to coast, so see their website for dates near you.
