MELISSA AUF DER MAUR - OUT OF OUR MINDS



melissa auf der maur's second full length following 2004's aptly titled: 'auf der maur'. she went for the full audio/visual experience with this one. there will be a dvd, comic book and other assorted goodies to coincide the release. there are some serious collectors edition sets of this album available on her website.

check out the video for the title track:

SLASH



also dropping tomorrow is the new album from guitar virtuoso, rif king and g n' r founding member SLASH. i'm going to do a bit of name-dropping right now... ozzy osbourne, dave grohl, chris cornell, lemmy kilmeister, iggy pop and um... fergie. also drummer josh freese plays on the record [so you know the drums will be masterful] and many more rock n' roll notables. if there isn't something you're even kind-of into there, you shouldn't be reading NOIZEBLEED.

watch a really cool trailer for the album:

HAPPY ZOMBIE-JESUS DAY!

so be sure to watch a few george romero films and bite the head off of a hollow chocolate bunny that's as big as your arm.

FEEDBACK: HIM 04.02.10

HIM
@ clutch cargo's
april 2, 2010

so my original feedback review was going to be for another band on this tour. dommin. but they had to cancel their michigan appearance due to kristofer dommin contracting some sort of laryngitis. so this will be brief.
i admittedly had fallen off the him wagon after dark light so i wasn't too familiar with the newer material. the crowd seemed into it. i saw some girls booty-dancing to the music which i thought was strange. ville valo was very talkative [although i could hardly understand any of his ramblings]. there were many bras and panties thrown up on stage during the set. which the band seemed to enjoy. and a first for me... he didn't smoke cigarettes the entire time. good for you ville. now just grow some hair again so you don't look like a emaciated cancer patient.

setlist:

like st. valentine
right here in my arms
wings of a butterfly
heartkiller
kiss of dawn
join me
love the hardest way
wicked game
buried alive by love
disarm me [with your loneliness]
killing loneliness
poison girl
katherine wheel
funeral of hearts
the sacrament
scared to death

FEEDBACK: STONE TEMPLE PILOTS 03.31.10

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
@ the fillmore detroit
march 31, 2010



will the sober weiland please show up? those were my thoughts going into last night's show at the fillmore. after reading the blog-o-sphere yammering about his inability to finish songs, let alone stand upright recently. i was very curious about how the night would go.

but first... let me take you back to june of 2008. stp at the fillmore. this show was knock-you-on-your-ass good. weiland was ON. wily and energetic, prancing around like some kind of ancient egyptian tweaker. the setlist was epic, the band was tight and they were all having fun. the crowd was all good energy and everyone seemed like they were rocking out for their lives. great show!

less than two years later. same venue.

the house lights are on and mew's 'and the glass handed kites' was blaring through the speakers. someone walks out on stage up to the mic stand and stars blathering incoherently into it. about 20 seconds later the mew stops and the house lights drop and the band walks out. apparently that guy was weiland. way to make an entrance. so the band starts grooving into 'vasoline' and it's almost immediately obvious to me that something is off. weiland can't keep up. the song is going at it's normal pace and the crowd is singing where the lyrics should be and scott is a measure behind. so dean signals robert and eric and they make a quick adjustment to get to where scott was lyrically. not good. and that's pretty much how it went. he had almost no energy onstage. a complete 180 from two years ago. he kept taking his ear monitors out then back in. which didn't help at all. i could see the band giving each other looks during the set like 'what the fuck'. i actually felt really bad for them. the sound guys took the vocals down in the mix because he sounded like some dunk karaoke singer. so the crowd pretty much drowned him out. and the crowd... was pretty wasted i felt. also i really think the majority didn't even notice what was happening. i saw some people looking around like 'what is going on here?' but very few. the set ended with standard applause and human traffic. as i stepped out into the rock city air i decided this was the last stp show i'll ever pay for.

setlist:

vasoline
crackerman
wicked garden
hollywood bitch
between the lines
hickory dichotomy
big empty
sour girl
creep
plush
interstate love song
bagman
huckleberry crumble
sex type thing
dead and bloated
lounge fly
piece of pie
trippin' on a hole in a paper heart
