Noel Gallagher Slams Arcade Fire
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Pop, Rock, New Releases,
Noel Gallagher thinks that Arcade Fire are "arrogant" for releasing a double album.
The "Everybody's On The Run" singer says he hasn't heard the band's new record Reflektor and he doesn't have time to listen to so many tracks. "I haven't heard it. Anybody that comes back with a double album, to me, needs to pry themselves out of their own a**hole. This is not the Seventies, okay? Go and ask Billy Corgan [The Smashing Pumpkins] about a double album. Who has the ####### time, in 2013, to sit through 45 minutes of a single album? How arrogant are these people to think that you've got an hour and a half to listen to a f**king record?" he told Rolling Stone.
The former Oasis guitarist, 45, said it was a "shame" David Bowie chose to work with the band on the record but hailed his comeback album The Next Day as a "masterpiece." He's also become a fan of Kanye West after hearing "Black Skinhead" at a party, but the musician thinks Robin Thicke is a "one-hit wonder" and his song "Blurred Lines" irritates him: "I don't mind it. It sounded good on the radio. Got a bit annoying after the five millionth time you've heard it. I think he's going to be a one-hit wonder, surely. It'll be like that guy who's done 'Gangnam Style' - we'll never hear from him again."

Billie Joe Armstrong Was a ‘Functioning Alcoholic’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Editorials, Rock,
Billie Joe Armstrong was a "functioning alcoholic" before he entered rehab.
The Green Day singer's drinking and reliance on prescription drugs had got out of hand before he was finally admitted to rehab last September and he admits to frequently being intoxicated on stage.
"I played onstage loaded a lot. I'd have anywhere from two to six beers and a couple of shots before I went onstage, then go and play the gig and drink for the rest of the evening on the bus. Fall asleep, wake up the next day, feel like s**t, do soundcheck. It was over and over again. In that way, I was a functioning alcoholic. I've been trying to get sober since 1997, right around Nimrod. But I didn't want to be in any programs. Sometimes, being a drunk, you think you can take on the whole world by yourself," he told Rolling Stone.

Bob Dylan Bites Back at Plagiarism Claims

Bob Dylan has blasted critics who accused him of plagiarism.
The legendary musician was quick to defend himself about quoting other artists and authors' material in his own work, branding his critics "wussies and pussies" and saying they are the same kind of petty people who called him "Judas" at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival for switching from an acoustic to an electric guitar.
"Judas, the most hated name in human history! If you think you've been called a bad name, try to work your way out from under that. Yeah, and for what? For playing an electric guitar? As if that is in some kind of way equitable to betraying our Lord and delivering him up to be crucified. All those evil motherf*****s can rot in hell," he ranted to Rolling Stone.

Jack White to Produce The Rolling Stones?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Blues, Rock,
The legendary "Paint it Black" band's guitarist said they are meeting next month to discuss plans to celebrate their 50th anniversary, and he is keen for them to head to the studio.
"I'd love to get some tracks down and see what songs we've got. And that goes along with part of getting the band back together and getting things moving. So I'd love to cut some tracks, yeah," he told Rolling Stone.
When asked if blues renaissance man Jack - a friend of Keith who worked on some demo material with him in 2009 - would produce the new material, he replied, "That's always a possibility. The door is wide open."

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards End Feud
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Reunions, Rock,
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have ended their feud.
The legendary front man and guitarist of The Rolling Stones had fallen out over claims Keith made in his autobiography - including that his bandmate had a small manhood - but have settled their differences in time for the band to stage a huge 50th anniversary tour next year.
"Looking back at any career you are bound to recall both the highs and the lows. In the 1980s, for instance, Keith and I were not communicating very well. I got very involved with the business side of the Stones, mainly because I felt no one else was interested. But it's plain now from the book that Keith felt excluded, which is a pity. Time, I reckon, to move on," Mick, 68, told Rolling Stone magazine.

The Black Keys Accuse Nickelback of Killing Rock
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Alternative, Blues, Rock,
The Black Keys think "Rock 'n' roll is dying" because of Nickelback. The blues rockers blame the fact a radio friendly commercial group like the "Rockstar" group have become so big, putting other bands off from trying to be authentic.
"Rock 'n' roll is dying because people became O.K. with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world. So they became O.K. with the idea that the biggest rock band in the world is always going to be s**t - therefore you should never try to be the biggest rock band in the world. F**k that! Rock 'n' roll is the music I feel the most passionately about, and I don't like to see it f***ing ruined and spoon-fed down our throats in this watered-down, post-grunge crap, horrendous s**t. When people start lumping us into that kind of s**t, it's like, 'F**k you,' honestly," drummer Patrick Carney told Rolling Stone.
The duo - completed by singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach - have always tried to remain true to their roots since they formed in 2001, and previously admitted initially turning down large amounts of money to use their songs in TV adverts, as they didn't want to be seen as "selling out."

New Old John Lennon Interview Revealed
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Rock,
An old interview with John Lennon has recently come to light, revealing that there might have been a great deal of animosity among the post-breakup Beatles members. In an interview with Rolling Stone’s Jann Wenner, Lennon unleashed some anger toward former band mates.
“We got fed up with being sidemen for Paul [McCartney],” says Lennon at one point. He also said the “music died” in the group and that “we never improved,” which I think plenty of critics would argue with.
