Fozzy, Noms & Blondes At Revolver Golden Gods Summit

Revolver Golden Gods Awards – Nominees’ Press Conference

On Thursday, I headed downtown L.A. to Club Nokia where Revolver Magazine was putting on a press conference / luncheon to announce the nominees of round three of the Annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards. The 2011 RGGA will take place Wednesday, April 20, at the aforementioned Club Nokia, with a televised date of May 28 on VH1 Classic.

Hungry for rock and hungry for free food; a large troop of assorted media outlets (in predominantly black attire) crowded the 4th floor club lounge where we noshed on CPK pizza, pasta and salad.

At 1pm sharp, WWE pro-wrestling legend and FOZZY frontman Chris Jericho, this year’s Golden Gods Awards host, came in through the out door with rock luminaries Alice Cooper, Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe), Sebastian Bach and Wendy Dio (wife of Ronnie James Dio). Pro skateboarder Mike Vallely rounded out this motley crew.

First up to the microphone was Revolver’s Editor-in-Chief Brandon Geist who fired up the cauldron with a brief speech about the event, its sponsors and the pillars-of-fame that lined his background.

Chris Jericho, whom was a presenter at last year’s Golden Gods Awards, expressed his excitement at being the 2011 Master of Ceremonies and then introduced an emotional Wendy Dio, whom was honored that the Revolver Lifetime Achievement Award was re-christened the “Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award”. Wendy said Ronnie would have been proud.

Ms. Dio went on to talk about the “Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund” and the hundreds of thousands of dollars they’ve given to organizations such as the T.J. Martell Foundation to further cancer research (donations can be made at ronniejamesdio.com) and the importance of regular testing for both men and women.

From there, Mick Mars took to the podium to acknowledge the forthcoming Lifetime Achievement Award for Mötley Crüe before a raucous ovation greeted Mr. Vincent Damon Furnier, whom is reuniting his “original spice” Alice Cooper Group as a lead-up to their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It will be the original line-up’s first appearance since they played two nights at The Whiskey with Led Zeppelin 37 years ago (each band headlined one of the two nights).

At the GGA Show, Alice will receive the “Golden God Award,” which is given to one special honoree a year who embodies the spirit of hard rock and metal.

Things then got really loose when wise-crackin’ Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach stepped up to the plate. He opened up his segment paraphrasing a New Orleans publication that iterated that when he was declared the “Chosen One” to play the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar that it was a sign of the impending Apocalypse. Bach went on to do 160 glorious Technicolor performances before being terminated from the traveling Rice-Webber show.

Reading through the Golden Gods Nominees for “Best Vocalist” Sebastian commented that Glenn Danzig was a wonderful “crooner” and Deftones’ Chino Moreno was deft with “power-ballads”. He then added some sizzlean to the “Best Metal Athlete” category by anecdotally announcing Tiger Woods (not actually nominated) while declaring “Rock Golf” as the only Metal sport (Cooper, a well-known scratch golfer, concurred).

Last up were Mike Vallely (aka Mike V who maximizes his time as a professional skateboarder, musician, actor, television personality, stuntman and FHL hockey player) and Jericho (again) who finished up the remaining categories and their respective nominees. I’ll, personally, be rooting (& voting) for The Pretty Reckless to hoist the coveted prize for ”Best New Band” (Taylor Momsen will be on hand as a Presenter).

That's the play-by-play. Thirty minutes flat. Wham bam thank you ma’am!

Celebrate GEORGE HARRISON’s Birth Date With Concert For George

In honor of George Harrison’s birth date (February 25), the memorable tribute concert in his honor, CONCERT FOR GEORGE, will be streamed for free on GEORGEHARRISON.COM for 24 hours to allow optimal worldwide viewing across all time zones, beginning at 8AM London time (GMT).

Originally released in High Definition, CONCERT FOR GEORGE will be released for the first time ever on Blu-ray and via digital download on March 22. The 2-disc Blu-ray set will include the complete concert on the first disc, with a second disc containing the original theatrical version featuring concert highlights, interviews with the performers, rehearsals, and behind-the-scenes footage. The second disc will also include a previously unreleased interview segment featuring Ringo Starr, Jim Keltner and Ray Cooper entitled “Drummers.”

CONCERT FOR GEORGE has been certified 8 times platinum by the RIAA since its initial release as a 2DVD set in November 2003 and earned a 2004 Grammy® Award for Best Long Form Music Video.



On November 29, 2002, one year after the passing of George Harrison, Olivia Harrison and longtime friend Eric Clapton organized a performance tribute in his honor. Held at London's Royal Albert Hall, the momentous evening featured George's songs, and music he loved, performed by a lineup that included Clapton, Jools Holland, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Monty Python, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, Ringo Starr, Dhani Harrison and many more.

Directed by David Leland (whose credits include the feature Wish You Were Here, HBO’s Band Of Brothers and the Traveling Wilburys video “Handle With Care”), CONCERT FOR GEORGE captures stunning renditions of some of the most significant music of the 20th century, including “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (featuring Clapton on guitar, McCartney on piano and Starr on drums), “Taxman” (performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and “The Inner Light” (covered by Jeff Lynne and Anoushka Shankar). Lynne, Harrison’s longtime friend and collaborator, produced the audio elements of the concert, while Clapton oversaw the entire proceedings as Musical Director.

TAYLOR MOMSEN Lit Up The Pretty And The Rest Of Us

"Everything looks better when the sun goes down"

Arriving to the El Rey Theatre after consuming a deftly prepared platter of succulent raw fish from Kazuyo on Melrose, I witnessed a block-long line of all-agers patiently waiting to gain entrance to the pretty reckless altar of a reformulated Gossip Girl, one Ms TAYLOR MOMSEN; a bona-fide TV star moonlighting as a burgeoning Rock Star. And, oh, how the two personas shall meet.
Somebody mixed my medicine. I don't know what I'm on.
Somebody nixed my medicine...Somebody's in my head again.

Enter momentary left turn. Fade-up venue valet stand. I, unwittingly, found myself ensconced in an intriguing conversation with a couple of professional autograph "acquirers," a few paparazzi (who snapped Hannah Montana co-star EMILY OSMENT on her way in) and the father of a famous teenage photog known simply as Sarah M.

This unplanned detour of time derailed me from catching openers A Thousand Horses (featuring guitarist Rich Robinson) and Runner Runner, who just released their eponymous pop-rock debut via Capitol Records.

With MOMSEN & her mates scheduled to begin at 10:15 PM, I headed in about ten after ten and went straight up the left aisle, secured a waist-hold against the front of the stage just shy of the retracted heavy curtain and soaked up the palpable ambiance. Everyone was eager to get pretty reckless.

Stacked high in Lucite shoes replete with 6-inch heels (in the likeness of silver gun barrels with tiny triggers) and outfitted in a skin-tight red corset dress under a leather jacket, Ms MOMSEN made a sultry grand entrance that quickly commanded a communal gaze but it was her urgent raspy voice that lit up the night.

Imagine a mash of Blondie-era Debbie Harry, Delores O'Riordan & Live Through This-era Courtney Love and now you're dabbing the canvas before reminding yourself that her voice is only on the edge of seventeen which leads you to throw a pinch of Stevie Nicks into the metaphorical BLENDER.

Over the course of the next hour, THE PRETTY RECKLESS featuring guitarist Ben Phillips, bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins played fan favorites ZOMBIE, MY MEDICINE, MISS NOTHING and GOIN' DOWN as well as their new single JUST TONIGHT, which the band performed live on LOPEZ TONIGHT the previous evening.

In total, THE PRETTY RECKLESS rifled through the majority of their propulsive debut album LIGHT ME UP, which climbed to #2 on iTunes on February 8th, just three days prior.

Another staple of TPR live shows is an ever-expanding arsenal of varied covers; from Oasis "Supersonic" and "Wonderwall" to The xx "Islands" to Eminem (& Rihanna) "Love The Way You Lie" to The Beatles "All You Need Is Love" to Fiona Apple "Criminal" to Cee Lo Green "Forget You".

On this night, the kick-off of their LIGHT ME UP North American tour, TAYLOR confessed that AUDIOSLAVE was one of her favorite bands before dutifully emoting a spot-on rendition of "Like A Stone" (I think Chris Cornell would have approved...and probably would agree that her "Goldilocks" rival his Louder Than Love-era mane).

All I need is someone to save me.
Cause I am goin' down. All the way down.

For the encore, we ventured up to the balcony and stood right in front of EMILY OSMENT, who was chillin' at a reserved table, to catch an overhead glimpse of the crowd goin' crazy. First up was the precocious emotion of "Nothing Left To Lose" before launching in to a Full-On-Kevin's-Mom roof-raisin' version of the anthemic MAKE ME WANNA DIE.



When the sheer immediacy of MMWD torched the Rey with its climatic chorus, even Ms OSMENT leapt up to snap a photo with her cell phone. It was a moment. It WAS The Pretty. It was THE PRETTY RECKLESS.

The Eight Track Museum Opens In Dallas Texas

Tonight in Dallas TX, the first (and only) EIGHT TRACK MUSEUM has its official grand opening.

Recently covered on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, museum curator Bucks Burnett (Tiny Tim's former manager) has put together a momentous event for the opening. For a $20 cover, attendees will be treated to autograph signings with Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth (of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club) as well as with indie folk duo The O's.

Both acts are releasing limited eight-track runs of their new albums on Burnett's eight-track label, Cloud 8, with the former releasing 30 eight-track copies of their new Tom Tom Club live album Genius of Live and the latter putting out a small run of eight tapes for their new BETWEEN THE TWO release. The O's, along with local singer-songwriter Stu Dicious, will perform short sets during the event.

(Taylor Young & John Pedigo aka The O's)

Burnett's first 8-track purchase was a copy of The Beatles' white album. Over the years, his collection has grown to 3000 eight-tracks and also includes other antiquated musical formats including: Thomas Edison's original wax cylinders, shellac 78 rpm records, vinyl LPs, 45s and cassette tapes. Bucks even has a rare 8-track that actually folds in half. See this oddity and more in this self-guided tour of his museum:

The O's We'll Go Walkin' (Music Video)

Dallas, TX is rockin', not because of the Green Bay Packers victory in Super Bowl XLV, but because of the well-timed release of the highly anticipated Quick Magazine cover by Dallas-area indie folk duo THE O's.

Perhaps hell didn't freeze over, but Dallas recently did and that was enough to get O's members Taylor Young and John Pedigo to suit up in football uniforms from their respective high schools (Young went to Jesuit College Preparatory School and Pedigo attended Woodrow Wilson High) for the Quick DFW photo shoot (even though they're sporting separate teams, between the two, they ARE the team).

In celebration of their new album BETWEEN THE TWO, the pair will be playing an in-store at Good Records on Feb 8th before hitting Club DaDa on Friday Feb 11th for a record release show and then a Valentine's Day gig with Tom Tom Club to celebrate the opening of the 8-Track Museum before hopping the pond to do a UK tour.

And while THE O's will soon be doing a lot of flying and driving, they've recently been doing a lot of walkin...both around Dallas in the video for WE'LL GO WALKIN' and for KXT (91.7) where they stopped by to do their second live session for the station.

Dead.net Releases GRATEFUL DEAD Road Trips Vol 4 No 2 (Listen)

Today, DEAD.NET released GRATEFUL DEAD ROAD TRIPS VOL. 4 NO. 2, an exclusive three-disc set chronicling two nights at Brendan Byrne Arena In East Rutherford, NJ on March 31 & April 1, 1988.

JERRY GARCIA: Lead Guitar, Vocals
MICKEY HART: Drums
BILL KREUTZMANN: Drums
PHIL LESH: Electric Bass
BRENT MYDLAND: Keyboards, Vocals
BOB WEIR: Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
ROAD TRIPS VOL. 4 NO. 2

1. Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain (3/31/88)
2. Dear Mr. Fantasy > Hey Jude (3/31/88)
3. Throwing Stones > Not Fade Away (4/1/88)
4. To Lay Me Down (4/1/88)


Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain by Grateful Dead


While you're listening, enjoy these release notes as written by Blair Jackson (Author of Garcia: An American Life, Grateful Dead Gear & Grateful Dead: The Music Never Stopped):

"You all know about the glory that was 1987. A year after we almost lost Jerry to his diabetic coma in the summer of ’86, the Dead were back, Jerry was the phoenix risen, and the band was bigger than ever: There was “Touch of Grey,” In the Dark, the stadium tour with Dylan, a huge influx of new Heads; it was good times all around, for sure. The band was revived and a new day dawned!

But when I interviewed Garcia for my old Dead ’zine, The Golden Road, the following autumn—1988—he revealed that he felt like he was just then finally catching up to his old, pre-coma self, “That is to say, having access to everything I know about playing. I’m getting to that point where it’s physically as comfortable… [and] feeling there.”

(Photo by James R. Anderson/photog.com)

Indeed, 1988 was a fantastic year for the Dead, with some of the band’s most explosive and energetic playing, as the whole band rose to meet Garcia in his return to absolute peak form. This “high” washed over into 1989—a year that has been extensively documented with official releases in part because the band recorded so many shows on multi-track tape and multi-camera video (Downhill From Here, Truckin’, Up to Buffalo, Nightfall of Diamonds, the recent Formerly the Warlocks box). But 1988 has, curiously, been largely ignored, save for a single official download-only release many years ago of the epic 3/27/88 Hampton show. What gives? It’s certainly no reflection of the quality of the music from ’88, which most Dead Heads would agree was almost uniformly strong. You’ll find many folks singing the praises of runs at Kaiser, the Centrum, Irvine, Alpine, Frost, the Greek, Alpine, Oxford Plains in Maine, Laguna Seca… just solid stuff all around. Gets me tingly just thinkin’ about it!

Well, we haven’t forgotten ’88—far from it—and this edition of Road Trips (Vol. 4, No. 2) shows you why. It offers up the entire April 1, 1988 concert from the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ (maybe you just called it “the Meadowlands” back in the day), plus the entire second set and a few first set highlights from the previous night’s show, March 31. That April Fools show is a real barn-burner, with a first set that includes a “double-opener” of high-octane versions of “Mississippi Half-Step” and “Jack Straw,” a rare and nearly perfect take on “To Lay Me Down” (played for just the second time since 1983), followed directly by the second (and final) GD-only version of Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man.” Less than a year after their six-show jaunt with the Mysterious One, Weir & Co. give the classic tune an impressively emotional workout; in fact, it’s hard to discern why it didn’t remain in the Dead’s repertoire after this evening. That first set also includes nearly manic versions of both “Cumberland” and “Deal.” Blazing!

There’s no letup in Set Two, either, as the band tears through what looks on paper like a fairly conventional set list, but in execution is far from that. “China Cat” > “Rider,” “Estimated” > “Eyes” and “The Other One” > “Wharf Rat” all sound fresh and alive, and seem to glow with fiery embers thanks to Garcia’s speedy and imaginative runs—basically the guy is on fire!

(Photo by James R. Anderson/photog.com)

A few nuggets from the 3/31 first set are tucked onto the back side of Disc One—including a superb “Let It Grow”—and then that night’s second set fills the other disc, and it’s another rockin’ affair loaded with favorites: A “Scarlet” > “Fire” nearly the equal of the famous Hampton version just four nights earlier, a fine “Terrapin,” and a post-“Drums” that never lets up as it moves from “Goin’ Down the Road” into “Miracle,” “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” the coda of “Hey Jude,” and “Watchtower” in the closing slot. The encore is another Dylan tune, “Heaven’s Door”—a perfect grace note for a raucous and exciting show. We should also note that the “Rhythm Devils” and “Space” portions of each show are also fantastically varied and interesting—in the spring of ’89 Garcia will be the last band member to “go MIDI,” so this is provides a glimpse of the more “pure” Garcia “Space” tones.

Intrigued? You should be! It’s hot stuff from beginning to end. As is customary, the original recordings (in this case by Dan Healy) have been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman, and our art team of Scott McDougall and Steve Vance have once again come up with a stunning package to entertain your eyeballs. This time out, Dead scribe Gary Lambert has contributed a splendid essay for the booklet, which true-to-form, is also loaded with period photos of The Boys in action. You can find the complete song lists for all three discs, plus ordering information simply by pressing this magic button! What a way to start the New Year!" - Blair Jackson
