#372 Re: The Sunset Strip » Queen's of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork Live » 639 weeks ago
(Radio.com) Rock rules the Billboard 200 chart this week, as the hard-charging Queens of the Stone Age land the band's first No. 1 album with new release …Like Clockwork selling 91,000 copies in its first week out, according to data from Nielsen SoundScan.
Boasting an all-star cavalcade of guests including Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Elton John, the dark and diverse album is QOTSA's sixth full-length, and the band's first for indie label Matador, also celebrating its first No. 1 album ever this week.
The record has garnered a slew of critical accolades amidst a flurry of high-profile promotions, such as a two-night stand on Late Night with David Letterman, including a full Live on Letterman concert webcast.
…Like Clockwork also moved a notable 12,000 copies on vinyl, the second-largest vinyl sales week since Daft Punk's Random Access Memories shifted 19,000 copies in its first week of release back in May.
Queens of the Stone Age ends Daft Punk's two-week reign at the top of the album chart, with Random Access Memories moving into the No. 2 slot after selling another 62,000 copies. With 494,000 copies sold in just the first three weeks out, the collection is on par to give Daft Punk their third gold album in the U.S. (500,000 copies sold) next to 1997 debut Homework and 2001 release, Discovery.

I listened to half of it last week on grooveshark and liked it. Then again I thought the new Megadeth was ok, so wtf do I know.

I heard a bit of this record and really liked it (not talking about the single which has been out a while). I gotta get my hands on a copy. QOTSA always feels like summer music to me.
Summer music? For me summer music is sublime, red hot chilli peppers, no doubt, or anything ska punkish. Back in the day, weekends at the Jersey Shore were always Bon Jovi.
For me, QOTSA was what I listened to on the way to and on the way back from the bar at night.
#376 Re: The Sunset Strip » Van Halen Discussion » 640 weeks ago
(hennemusic) Van Halen were one of the featured headliners at the inaugural Stone Music Festival in Sydney, Australia in April, and video of the band's full set has surfaced.
The weekend event - inspired by the '70s cult biker film Stone – saw co-headliners Billy Joel, Van Halen and Aerosmith joined by Kings Of Chaos, Richie Ramone, Buckcherry, Lifehouse and Illumination Road, among others.
Van Halen's 20-song, 90-minute setlist was identical to the template of their 2012 shows, opening with "Unchained" and closing with their only #1 single, "Jump."
In what is possibly a career first, the band wore matching outfits: white shirts with black pants and black vests. "What an amazing gig, Sydney!!" tweeted bassist Wolfgang Van Halen after the show. "Thank you so much for fighting through the rain to see us. Can't wait till next time!" Watch the video here: http://www.hennemusic.com/2013/06/video … ydney.html

Lady Gaga Hints At New Music
(Radio.com) Lady Gaga has been very silent this year. But it looks like that's about to change. Last week, she released a photo of herself back in the studio, and from the looks of things, it appears that Mother Monster is ready to get back to work after her unplanned leave of absence.
In February, Gaga postponed several tour dates citing health issues before she went on to cancel her Born This Way Ball Tour. "After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip. She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour so she can heal," a press statement from Live Nation said at the time.
Diagnosed with synovitis, which is severe inflammation of the joints, Gaga went into the hospital for hip surgery and followed her doctor's orders to rest. She even splurged on a 24-Karat gold wheelchair, custom-made by New York-based stylist Ken Borochov, to keep off her feet.
While fans have been eagerly waiting for updates from her social networking site LittleMonsters.com, new music from the singer is likely on the way, as are surprise performances.

I haven't listen to these guys yet, but I know they're an 80's metal band so I'm interested to check this out, and maybe the rest of their catalogue.
