Birthdays – Saturday - April 30th -Chris Henderson – The 3 Doors Down guitarist is 40.
3 DOORS DOWN - KRYPTONITE Billy Talent are back working on new music and making significant progress. Singer Ben Kowalewicz says in a newsletter message, “We’ve been in our little cave working away for the last couple of months and things are really starting to take shape. The songs thus far are unlike anything we’ve ever done before, yet it still seems to capture the urgency of our first record. Hard to put into words, but the vibe is really special.” The band will break from the studio long enough to play a handful of dates in Canada this summer, but at present there is no timetable for the new record or an extended support tour. ------------------------BREAK------------------------ Today Gibson wraped up their countdown of their picks for the Top 50 albums of the 90s! What do ya know? Nirvana's Nevermind grabbed the top spot! Here's what Gibson had to say about the iconic album: 1. Nevermind, Nirvana (1991): Nirvana's 1991 masterpiece Nevermind changed everything – and the radical 180-degree turn the music industry experienced in the wake of Nevermind's immediate impact happened in a blink of an eye. Before the spandex-clad glam bands that had dominated the '80s knew what two-by-four had just smacked them upside their head (that two-by-four being Nevermind's first single "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), it was out with pointy guitars, eyeliner – and some might argue musicianship ¬– and in with angst, anger and a whole lot of flannel. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind had very low commercial expectations when it was released in September of '91. So meteoric was Nevermind's rise, however, that it dethroned the King of Pop's Dangerous album barely three months after its release. This was the very moment alternative rock became mainstream, and the music industry has never been the same. Easily one of – if not the – most influential albums in the history of recorded music.
NIRVANA - IN BLOOM Disturbed are in a giving mood, and hope you reciprocate. The band have made a new, previously unreleased track called “3” available at their website, www.disturbed1.com, as a $.99 download. All proceeds from sales of the track will go to the Damien Echols Defense Fund, which pays for the imprisoned man’s legal fees and fight for a new trial. Echols is one of the three men currently behind bars who many feel were wrongly convicted in a 1994 murder case. For more information on the case, visit www.wm3.org. In other Disturbed news, the band’s “Asylum” album has reached gold status (for 50,000 copies sold). -------------------------BREAK------------------------- Saturday Rock Bday!
