Here is U2’s latest video for their new single, Magnificent, from their recently released No Line On The Horizon album.

The video for “Magnificent” was directed by French filmmaker Alex Courtes. Alex also directed the video for the band’s previous single, “Get On Your Boots,” and alongside his former creative partner Martin Fougeral won a Grammy award for the “Vertigo” video. The video for “Magnificent” was shot in the historic city of Fez, Morocco last month.

Six years after the fatal fire at The Station Nightclub in Rhode Island and Great White frontman Jack Russell is still blamed for the tragedy of that night. The fire, which was caused by pyrotechnics in the small venue, claimed the lives of 100 people and injuring 230 others. I, like many others don’t think they should have been using pyrotechnics in such a small venue, nor do I really think at that point in the bands career, did they need pyro. That’s all beside the point.

Jack still has issues dealing with that and family members of the dead and/or injured constantly criticize him and some want more money. Money is not going to bring anyone back, however if people are still struggling with hospital bills, then perhaps that could help.

I’m tired of saying it and I’m tired of hearing it. Axl Rose owns the name “Guns N’ Roses“. He can tour, and write under that name as long as he owns it. Everyone knows that I’m not an Axl sympathizer but Jesus Christ I’m tired of hearing former members bitch about him.

I said awhile back that Chinese Democracy doesn’t really sound like a Guns N Roses record. It just doesn’t, but the fact remains that he owns the name. What get’s me is the former members of G N’ R bitching about him touring under the name.

Well, ok, that’s not what he said. This is what he actually said in a phone interview with Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles.

“I’ve made this statement a million times - some people don’t like it, some people do - but Joe is the best guitarist I have ever played with,

It’s the man’s opinion and if people don’t like it them piss on ‘em. Most would argue that Eddie Van Halen is a better player, but how do you really compare the two? Both are great, both are legends, but everyone always wants to pull out the “Eruption card” without even hearing The Satch’s solo albums.

It could be quite a one sided debate if they were really compared in depth. I hear that you can hear a lot of Joe Satriani’s work on Coldplay albums these days.

Chris Daughtry is set to debut his new single No Surprises on American Idol on May 6th. No Surprises is from the upcoming album due out on July 14th. Here is a bit of the press release.

“American Idol fans have been so loyal to this band, we wanted to give them the first listen to our new single,” says singer Chris Daughtry.

Daughtry, bassist Josh Paul, drummer Joey Barnes, and guitarists Brian Craddock and Josh Steely recorded the new album’s 10-plus songs in Los Angeles. Boasting a more gritty sound, the new album features a band sharpened by two years on the road, where they’ve graduated from clubs and theaters to opening arenas for Nickelback and Bon Jovi.

The new album follows the runaway success of Daughtry’s 2006 debut, which scored three #1 songs and was the biggest-selling artist release for two years running. The accolades garnered by Daughtry include multiple wins at the American Music Awards, the World Music Awards and the Billboard Music Awards.

A lot of bands are looking to bring something different to their live shows. Lately a lot of bands are planning on playing the entire track list of one of their classic albums, live. I don’t know if it’s to build hype and sell tickets or just to keep things kind of interesting. Whatever the reasoning behind it, I love it and think it’s a great idea. Metal icons Slayer did it with Reign In Blood as well as NWOBHM pioneers, Judas Priest are planning on doing it with British Steel. Mastodon are playing their new album Crack The Skye in it’s entirety, which is an amazing album that should surely be a classic 20 years from now. Hell, it’s already a classic in my opinion.

The latest band to propose the idea is Aerosmith with their 1975 classic album, Toys In The Attic. No solid details have been released or even talked about really. According to Gibson.com guitarist Joe Perry mentioned to VH1 radio’s Dave Basner, that he’d love to play the album in it’s entirety on their upcoming tour with ZZ Top. Tyler still has the pipes and I would love to see that happen. Toys In The Attic has gone platinum 8 times since it’s release 34 years ago.
