Christina Aguilera Weirdness at Etta James Funeral

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 01:38:09 PST

Pictures of Christina Aguilera performing for the funeral of Etta James have led to an embarrassing controversy for the pop singer. The topic for debate isn't just how much cleavage she's showing for a funeral, but about what exactly is running down her leg. Some people around the internet have come to a rather gross conclusion. Others (hopefully correctly) are speculating that it's just a combination of spray tan and back-knee sweat. With the National Anthem screw-up and other...

Butch Walker Gets Dazed & Confused For New Video

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 09:48:58 PST

Butch Walker has released his second single, "Synthesizers," from his newest album The Spade. The video for "Synthesizers" features Matthew McConaughey as his Dave Wooderson character from the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused." You know the famous Wooderson quote about high school girls, "I keep getting older, they stay the same age?" Well, McConaughey looks shockingly similar to his portrayal of Wooderson nearly 20 years ago. His remarkable genetics even earned Butch some press this morning...

Sebastian Bach Premieres "Tunnelvision" Video

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:50:51 PST

Ex-Skid Row singer and reality star Sebastian Bach has unveiled the second music video from his album Kicking & Screaming at Revolver Magazine. Bach is also featured on the cover of Revolver's 100th print issue. The video appears to have been shot during the same video recording session as the self-titled first video released in August. While I had criticized the "Kicking & Screaming" video for having some awkward looking moments, the editing of his new single is much better....

Metallica Perform With Dave Mustaine For 30th Anniversary

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:45:42 PST

It was only last week when I remarked how cool it was that as part of Metallica's 30th Anniversary celebration, they managed to get Jason Newsted on stage to perform. Just as cool is the recent confirmation that on the San Fransisco show on December 10th, Dave Mustaine joined the stage with Metallica for 5 songs. For a quick history lesson, Mustaine was an early member of Metallica before he was fired and went on to form Megadeth in 1983. Check below for Youtube footage of Mustaine...

Tracii Guns Of LA Guns Speaks About Dilana's Departure

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:03:21 PST

A little over 2 months ago, Tracii Guns of L.A. Guns announced a new lead singer to replace Jizzy Pearl (Love/Hate, ex-Ratt), who had recently quit. Tracii's interesting choice of a replacement was the female singer Dilana, most well known as the runner-up contestant from the Rockstar: Supernova T.V. show. Rumors of Dilana being out of the band started to surface this weekend on the superLOUD message boards. Today, Tracii has addressed these rumors with the following message on our...

X Factor December 8 Recap - Rachel Crow Melts Down

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 11:00:44 PST

Marcus Canty, how are you staying in competition??! Congrats for not giving up, despite being in the bottom two for the 3rd week in a row. In tonight's X Factor, Marcus faced off against Rachel Crow. Rachel got the support of Paula and Simon, while the two other judges (L.A. and Nicole) voted for Marcus. This brought the decision to deadlock. In the event of a deadlock, America's vote from the night before is the deciding factor. The decision weighed heaviest on Nicole Scherzinger, who had...

Adler: Sorum Deserves Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nod Too

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 13:11:01 PST

Rolling Stone recently caught up with Steven Adler, the ex-Guns N' Roses drummer who performed on the classic Appetite For Destruction album (as well as the follow-up EP GN'R Lies). Although kicked out of the band for drug abuse back in the day, Steven is friendly with former members and is excited for the Guns N' Roses Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors. The ceremony is taking place in Cleveland this April. Interestingly, he's even friendly with Matt Sorum, the drummer that replaced Adler...

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:42:12 PST

Metallica started their first of 4 30th Anniversary shows, and they're celebrating in style. According to Rolling Stone, fans in attendance participated in a lottery in order to get tickets to attebd, with most traveling long distances. The first show, a 6 hour affair in San Fransisco's The Fillmore, featured video greetings from Slipknot, Kid Rock, U2, Beavis & Butthead, and more. The most surprising guest, though, was former long-time bassist Jason Newsted. Newsted performed two songs...

Lady Gaga Premieres "Marry The Night" + Cheerios?

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 12:20:10 PST

Lady Gaga has premiered a nearly 14 minute music video for her latest single, "Marry The Night." Perhaps the most unusual part of the video is where a naked Gaga pours Cheerios cereal on her body. Funnily enough, a rep for Cheerios talked to TMZ, explaining that although they did not clear the use of their product, they have no plans to sue. "We feel that people express their passion in a lot of different ways. This was certainly a first!" Gaga's "Marry The Night" premiered acoustically...

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:56:42 PST

According to TMZ, Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger are receiving harassing messages, some of which can be interpreted as death threats. The threats originated over Thursday's X Factor, where contestant Drew Ryniewicz was surprisingly eliminated. A portion of TMZ's story follows: According to our sources, Paula and Nicole both got the cold shoulder from Simon Cowell after the show ... who was "furious" with their decision. But that's nothing compared to the abusive tweets and Facebook...

X Factor December 1 Recap - Five Remain

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:52:25 PST

In a surprising X Factor results show, two were sent home in what was a Michael Jackson themed week. Leaving at the beginning of the Thursday show was 15-year old Astro for having the fewest amount of votes. Fighting for survival in the bottom two were Marcus Canty and Drew Rynowicz. Astro's departure might not come as a shock, as he's been in the bottom two before. His rapping, while impressive, isn't generally what you'd expect to see in a vocal competition. He left by thanking the show...

X Factor November 23 Recap - Two Get The Boot

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:50:23 PST

Tonight's episode of the X Factor was the first to feature a double elimination. I liked the set up for this episode, with the act getting the lowest votes going home immediately, then the two others with the lowest votes competing in a sing-off at the end. And surprisingly, Astro didn't get voted off. For those who may not have heard, Astro had a little behind the scenes drama with the producers over the weekend (see recap here). In short, he felt that he was placed in the bottom two last...

Tracii Guns: No Way Will I Sleep With New Singer Dilana

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:33:08 PST

Tracii's version of L.A. Guns generated some controversy earlier by introducing female singer Dilana Robichaux, who's most famous as the runner up from CBS's Rockstar: Supernova TV show. Dilana replaced Jizzy Pearl as the L.A. Guns frontman (frontwoman?), who had left the band shortly before the release of a live CD called Acoustic Gypsy. A question on many people's minds is if touring together is going to create sexual tension and become a problem down the line. However, Tracii assures...

Sammy Hagar: New Van Halen Is Old Material

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:26:24 PST

Never shy around the topic of Van Halen, Rolling Stone caught up with Chickenfoot's Sammy Hagar and asked the Red Rocker about his old band. Sammy gave an interesting response when asked about the new Van Halen material: Rolling Stone: I think nothing would be more fascinating than a Some Kind of Monster-style documentary about the making of this new record. Can you even imagine? Sammy Hagar: I'd be curious to be a fly on that wall. I heard this record is old outtakes from the old days. I...

BulletBoys Original Lineup To Reunite For One Show

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 08:50:56 PST

Singer Marq Torien has continued to keep the BulletBoys name active in recent years. However, the original lineup of Marq, Mick Sweda on guitar, Lonnie Vencent on bass and Jimmy D'Anda on drums will be playing a special show on December 30th at the Key Club in Hollywood, according to Blabbermouth. An interview with Torien on RadioScreamer Magazine about the reunion is on youtube. For now, this sounds like a one-time only show with no definite plans to do more dates. Marq sounds open to the...

Bang Tango Premiere "Live Life" Video

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 08:30:57 PST

80's rockers Bang Tango have a new album out called Pistol Whipped In The Bible Belt. Recently on youtube, they premiered their first single for a song called "Live Life." While the video is obviously of a modest budget, it gets the job done and the song is pretty good. I always thought Bang Tango had a different flavor than most of the bands that they got lumped in with (hair metal) back in the day so I'm glad to see them still making music. Frontman Joe LeSte also sang for Beautiful...

X Factor Contestant Implies Voting May Be Manipulated

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:48:15 PST

At the end of each X Factor results show, the two acts with the lowest amount of viewer votes are pitted against each other in a sing-off. The four judges (LA Reid, Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger) then determine on air who gets sent home. But is the process really that simple? According to one contestant, possibly not. 15-year old Astro started his rock-week themed appearance being introduced by LA Reid as one of the most popular contestants. Yet by the end of the night,...

X Factor November 18 Recap - Goodbye Stacy Francis

noreply@blogger.com (superLOUD.net) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:46:47 PST

It was "Rock Week" on X Factor this week, or so the show claimed. The performances didn't feel very rock & roll to this viewer, but oh well. In what was somewhat of a surprise to me, Paula's girl-group Lakoda Rayne did not get put in the hot seat this week. Judging by Paula's reaction, she didn't believe it either. Instead, this week's two lowest voted belonging to 42-year old soul singer Stacy Francis and 15-year old rapper Astro. Despite Astro copping a major attitude and saying "I...
