Music Video: Steven Tyler Debuts “Feels So Good” on American Idol

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music Videos, Videos, Rock, New Releases,

For decades, Steven Tyler has been shrouded in the mystery of fame -- an elusive, larger-than-life stage presence who fills magazine covers with big hair and grimaces. Thanks to reality TV, we now know he’s the type of guy who rhymes “gaga” with “yaya” (granted, there aren’t a lot of places to go with that), isn’t afraid to drop an F-bomb on the Fox Network and actually makes Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt look vaguely cool.

Still, we weren’t prepared for the weirdness of above music video. It’s for Tyler’s “(It) Feels So Good,” and it’s strangely compelling. The video debuted on American Idol's Top 4 results episode (recap on TV Envy). The song is currently available for download on iTunes.


VIDEO: Miley Cyrus Performs Nirvana in Concert

Miley Cyrus delighted her concert-going fans when she announced during her Ecuador show that she’d be doing a special song. “I want to be able to do the music that inspired me and made me want to be here on this stage tonight,” she announced.

“This song is something I always sing with my little brother… so this song is also for him.” And the crowd went wild, screaming with hysteria in anticipation of…perhaps some light country music fare? Maybe something from Miley’s childhood (such as it was), a ditty from the Jewel or Sheryl Crow songbook? Or perhaps a country standard by a legend like Patsy Cline?

Nope. Miley’s band began playing the opening strains of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” instead, a grunge rock anthem that was released in 1991, one year before Cyrus was born. Watch the performance in the video above.

30 Seconds to Mars has released their music video for “This Is War,” the title track on the band’s new album. Front man Jared Leto said the band spent two years working on the album, calling the experience “brutal” and “overwhelming.” 30 Seconds to Mars was between record labels (and in litigation) at the time. From what we’re hearing and seeing in the music video, it all came together in the end.

Aerosmith: New Album on the Way

AerosmithThe feud between Steven Tyler and Joe Perry is over. Along with the other members of Aerosmith, the rockers will get to work on a new album this summer.

According to Tyler, he and Perry smoked a “peace pipe” to at last bury the hatchet. Reportedly, the rift began when Tyler accepted his current American Idol judging gig.

But Aerosmith isn’t going to question a good thing anymore. Since Steven Tyler started appearing on the new season of the reality gorilla, sales of the band’s greatest hits have increased 250%.

Paul McCartney Plays Tribute to John Lennon on SNL

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Performances, Videos, Rock,

Sir Paul McCartney helped to create one of SNL’s most memorable episodes over the weekend.

In-between appearing in skits, McCartney took to the stage no less than four times to perform several hits -- but the most poignant was definitely when he honored former bandmate and collaborator John Lennon. This year marks the 30th since the rocker’s death, and McCartney played tribute by playing “A Day in the Life” and Lennon’s own “Give Peace a Chance.”

Watch (and listen!) in the video above.

Interview: Pint Shot Riot

Pint Shot Riot

Although the name Pint Shot Riot might not ring any bells for most Americans, EA is working on fixing this issue – pronto. Pint Shot Riot is a British Rock band that has had their fair amount of publicity on BBC Radio, BBC Band of the week and even made the UK Indie charts at #7. Their first single, “Punches Kicks Trenches And Swords,” had an appearance on The Sims 3, giving the band some international exposure. Pint Shot Riot currently holds a publishing deal with EA and their partner company, Artwerk, to license their songs to appear on games developed by EA. If you are big into EA games, get familiar with the name – you will be hearing it a lot more.

I had the opportunity to chat with Baby Dave, the bassist, and talk about the band history, video games and try to dig up any glorious dirt.
