Johnny Depp Plays Guest Guitar on album "Afraid of Ghost'

Musician Bush Walker is coming up with his New Album " Afraid of Ghosts'. His producer, Ryan Adams recruited some famous friends;guitarst Bob Mould and actor Johnny Depp.  Johnny Depp comes into 4:40 into the video. He is mainly known as a famous actor but he also plays guitar as a guest for a few bands. He even had played with the famous band Aerosmith; he is good friends with Steven Tyler. I am personally a huge fan of Johnny Depp, I love him in movie and on stage. He also did a song with famous beatle Paul McCartney and appears in his videos. Depp mainly plays slide guitar and does some back up electric guitar from what I can remember. There is another video of him not too long ago with Aerosmith on The David Letterman show for "The Train Kept a Rollin"

Music for cats?

Cats are out wonderful furry friends, but just like us  they would enjoy music. Scientists have developed a certain type of music just for cats. The like to hear sounds from a different decibel than of what we like to hear. When " Human music" was played to the cats, they rejected it. When the music was adjusted to their hearing level, they started brushing their faces on the headphones and purring, a sign of contentment in cats. This may be a nice invention for our pets!

Music in my life

Growing up I listened to a lot of classic rock and whatever was on the radio at the time. When I was little it was a lot of boy bands like NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys. I loved them. I believe my preschool backpack had the backstreet boys on it. I wonder where it went........ I loved No Doubts album, tragic kingdom. When I was about 10 years old, Gwen Stefani went solo. I have the album that features Hollaback Girl." The meaning of this song is pretty much that she isn't a doormat to be walked on, which happens to me far too often. I like a lot of classic rock, I was so lucky to see Aerosmith and Slash in concert recently at the DTE energy center. I loved that concert. Slash had a new singer, I believe his name is Myles Kennedy and the did a bunch of old Guns N Roses songs. His voice seemed to be a lot my powerful than Axel Roses (.The band that slash used to be in.) I remember Aerosmiths opening. The opened with 'The Train Kept a Rollin' Which I believe was a cover which was done by The Yardbirds wayy back in the 60s. I seem to like Aerosmiths version the best. The put more enegry and more of their own sound into the song. On the yardbirds version, it annoyed me how the vocals were out of sync.

The evolution of "Seven Nation Army."

http://thequietus.com/articles/17294-seven-nation-army-white-stripes

The White Stripes Seven Nation army was released in 2003 and peaked Number 76 on the billboard 100 in the US. Italy is where this song peaked highest; at #3 in Italy. It is now 2015 and it is getting played everywhere and seems to be increasing in popularity. Its chanted at football games and the world cup, along with several other sporting events.
What made this song even more popular over time? Is it the catchy riff? The lyrics? I think this song has become popular over time because of the upbeat catchy riff.

Kid Rock Lowers ticket Prices to $20 for upcoming tour

For Kids Rocks upcoming tour with the band Foreigner he sets his ticket prices to only $20 dollars for his "Best night Ever.' tour. This is shocking considering how much concert prices have skyrocketed dramatically over the years. I remember when I was looking at tickets for The Rolling Stones, since im a pretty huge fan of classic rock. They were $600 each! I about fell off my chair! There is no way they need to be that expensive and this was for average seats, no VIP or anything. When I went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers it was $60 which was far more reasonable than the Stones. Musicians who charge a rediculous amount for tickets obviously don't care about their fans in my opinion. A lot of fans would love to see their favorite band and it would make them so greatful to see them. I know a lot of people don't have $600 per ticket. I believe concert tickets need to be affordable and everyone deserves to have a good time.

Grammy Awards: More Than Just about Music.

While watching the Grammy awards this past Sunday, I was pleased we took a moment to focus on some of our issues in our country. When Beyonces performance came on, I noticed her backup dancers had black hoodies on with their hands in the air while dancing. At first I was confused, but then I realized it was a " Hands up Don't shoot." protest. In reference, to the Ferguson shooting.
Then president Barack Obama came on with a PSA about Domestic Violence against women. 1-3 women are victims of domestic violence sometime in their life, yet many keep silent about it. By addressing this issue it will help victims come forward and have a voice. Our Country doesn't do nearly enough to help women who are victims, having this PSA was a big step!

Kanye causes Controversy at Grammys again- Disrupting musician Beck

Kanye West is at it again.... After disrupting Taylor Swift while accepting her first award at the Grammy's a few years ago. Claiming that "Beyonce had one of the greatest albums of all time and that she needed to give up her award to her."-Right in the middle of her speech.

This time for the 2015 Grammy awards, Kanye disrupts Beck; album of the year winner. He walked on stage just before Beck gave his speech then walked off, leaving Beck with a perplexed look on his face. Kanye was later confronted at the Grammy after-party about why he walked on stage and why he didn't say anything. He replied "Beck needs to respect artistry."
 "He should have given his award to Beyonce.

Kanye West is getting really annoying to me. He has some issues with narcissism and he always have to put the spotlight on himself. Beck reportedly plays 14 different instruments and has a longer music career than Kanye West. Also, what is with his obsession with Beyonce? She is a great artist and all but why does she think she is entitled to every Grammy award? I wonder what his wife thinks about his obsession with Beyonce. Another part of irony, is that Kanye doesn't typically write his own songs and yet he tells Beck to "respect Artistry" when he really isn't one himself. His behavior was uncalled for.
