Memorial services for iconic MOTÖRHEAD frontman Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister was held at the Rainbow Bar And Grill in West Hollywood, California 1-9-2016.
Lemmy, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Christmas Eve (December 24-2016), learned two days later, on December 26, that he was afflicted with an aggressive form of cancer. He died two days later, on December 28 at his home in Los Angeles.
MOTÖRHEADwas revered by both metal and punk fans, and Lemmy was considered an icon for his musical talent and his embodiment of the rock n’ roll lifestyle.
The Rainbow Bar And Grill on L.A.'s Sunset Strip was known as Lemmy's hangout, made it an obvious place for friends and family to say goodbye to the legend.

"And in the end, the love you take, is equal
to the love you make" ---Paul McCartney
Playing host to the rescheduled Foo Fighters concert at Wembley (that was cancelled after frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg falling off stage at a show in Gothenburg, Sweden), the National Bowl in Milton Keynes came alive on Sunday, September 6, 2015 with the sound of 65,000 screaming fans. Following sets from rock duo Royal Blood and the eclectic propo-punk icon Iggy Pop, the Foos knew they had to deliver. From the moment the curtain sucked into a black hole vortex to the end of the show, it was obvious it was going to be one hell of a night to remember. Debra, Karl and I had arrived relatively early for the show and, being among the first to enter the MK Bowl, were offered "Inner Pit" passes. Issued on a first-come-first-serve basis, these gave fenced-off access to the stage and were an excellent surprise. We had a great view of the day's action and I was well positioned for photographs. "All My Life" opened the two and a half hour set, with Grohl spending the entire show seated on a most gloriously over-the-top throne, designed by Grohl himself and adorned by guitar necks. It transported the front-man up and down the runway, and was in itself a crowd pleaser! I have wanted to see the Foo Fighters for about two decades - and desperate to do so since "Wasting Light"- and they did not disappoint. A shredding version of "White Limo" alone justified the ticket price, and the rest was a wonderful (and sometimes nostalgic) tour through their back-catalogue. All in all, it was a triumphant, heart-warming singalong set that showed why, for so many, the Foo Fighters have been the soundtrack to the last two decades. Here's the Foo Fighters' set list for the Milton Keynes "Broken Leg" concert.
If I was desperate to see the Foo Fighters, I was absolutely aching to see 69 year old rock legend, Iggy Pop. I narrowly missed one of his gigs in Amsterdam at the end of 1978 and, after this initial disappointment, Iggy stayed on my Bucket List through the late-80's in London, the 90's in Prague and the naughties in the UK. When he was in town, I was always travelling, had other commitments or just had bad luck (i.e. the cancellation of the Foo's concert at Wembley in June where Iggy was on the supporting bill). Well, I finally got to see James Newell Osterberg, Jr. in full, topless, action in Milton Keynes on a fine evening in September 2015! Iggy brought his old school punk snarl to the party, prompting mass singalongs to classic tunes, some of which he penned with his old mate David Bowie in Berlin in the 70's. If I'm still as active as Iggy when I'm almost 70, I'll be more than happy! He made fine use of the runway before him, skipping, kicking, twisting and turning as only Iggy can. He took a breather every now and then, but Iggy still has more energy than any new breed act you care to mention. Fucking hell - he's the man that wrote "Lust for Life"! The snot-noses in the audience didn't know what hit them :-) FYI, here's the Iggy Pop's set list for the night.
A wonderful, sunny day and balmy evening with my family, and a fine way to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of my first date with my future-wife on September 7, 1983.
Chris Cornell
Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell played his first show at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall in support of fifth solo album Higher Truth, the tour similar in style to his 2011 Songbook tour, with Cornell playing stripped-back renditions of a selection of songs from his Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple Of The Dog and solo material mixed with covers on a range of acoustic guitars, this time accompanied by Bryan Gibson on cello, keyboards and mandolin ...

Sono tornati! Tobias Sammet, frontman di Edguy, è tornato in studio al lavoro su un nuovo capitolo discografico dei suoi Avantasia. Si tratta del successore di “The Mystery Of Time”. Il nuovo album di Avantasia si intitola “Ghostlights” uscito a gennaio del 2016. Poi, a Marzo 2016, Avantasia saranno in tour che partirà da Berlino il 4 marzo e la tappa italiana è prevista per il 22 marzo all’Alcatraz di Milano.
Ospite della serata Michael Kiske, cantante tedesco, famoso nell'ambiente heavy metal e power metal per essere stato il cantante degli Helloween dal 1987 al 1993. Nella seconda parte della carriera si è dedicato invece a sonorità distanti dall'heavy metal e più orientate all'AOR, pur continuando a collaborare con band del calibro di Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Edguy, Timo Tolkki.
Tobias Sammet ha dichiarato: “Ho passato molti mesi in studio, lavorando segretamente ed in maniera ossessiva su qualcosa che rappresentasse un vero capitolo nella carriera di Avantasia. Devo dire che Avantasia sono una fantastica valvola di sfogo per la mia creatività. Il nuovo materiale scritto dalla band è dinamico e decisamente differente ma il marchio Avantasia è presente. Sono orgoglioso di quanto fatto finora. E non vedo l’ora di tornare on the road e calcare i palchi europei. In passato è stato molto difficile organizzare un tour con Avantasia, visti gli impegni di ciascuno di noi nelle altre band. Ma adesso tutto ciò si sta concretizzando e siamo prontissimi! Si tratterà di un grande show, della durata di tre ore abbondanti, che porterà i fan nel mondo di Avantasia. I brani che eseguiremo dal vivo comprenderanno tutte la storia del gruppo: a partire da ‘The Metal Opera’ fino a ‘Ghostlights’ e tutto ciò che c’è stato in mezzo!”

Ken Scott, songwriter/frontman of Wasted Youth.

www.facebook.com/Wasted.Youth.1979/
The original Wasted Youth, one of the best bands to come out of post punk East London. Formed in the summer of 1979 at the Bridge House in Canning Town. The band rubbed shoulders with the likes of The Psychedelic Furs and The Only Ones, occupying the indie album charts before splitting up in December 1982 on the verge of signing to a major record label.
Alternative music website Louderthanwar.com described them as “arguably the greatest ‘lost’ London band of the post-punk years… heavily influenced by the dark narcotic glamour of the Velvets, the Doors and Transformer-era Lou Reed.”
After a gap of 40 years the band’s 3 surviving original members reformed for their now legendary gig at the Lexington, Islington in February 2022. Tickets sold out within hours of going on sale.
While the revival success may have been bouyed up by a wave of nostalgia from their original fans, the band are keen to move on.
To quote their social media feed the band say "Whilst paying respect to and having great love for the ‘old’ Wasted Youth, the ‘new’ Wasted Youth are not a nostalgia act, and are eager to prove that they have something new to offer, both visually and sonically."
Ken Scott was and probably remains the major creative force behind the band and since the original line up split has seen his life and career follow a remarkable trajectory. You can hear Ken tell his own story here. foxyradio.com/foxy-radio-112-foxy-radio-on-deal-radio-fea...
As a Bridge House regular I saw Wasted Youth many times there and at other venues across London. I got to know Ken briefly as our paths crossed after the band split.
Having missed out on the opportunity to see the reformed band at the Lexington, and the Royal Albert Hall in support of the Furs, I finally managed to catch them at “Powerhaus” Camden (aka Dingwalls). I’ve been pestering Ken ever since to let me take his portrait. He finally caved in and we met last Friday for a shoot after I reminded him that he still owed me a favour for helping him decorate his flat in Plaistow circa 1984!

madness frontman suggs yesterday afternoon in soho, still wearing his trademark overcoat. although he had no singing voice and half spoke the lyrics while performing with 80s pop stars madness, suggs was one of the most entertaining front men of the era. never taking themselves too seriously unlike so many of their contempories, a lot of madness songs have stood the test of time very well with strong melodies, witty lyrics and clever arrangements.
i personally believe pop music is now dead as art form. i'd like to be proved wrong in this assertion. it would be nice to hear some good tunes from the younger generation.

When All-American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter dons his sparkly purple shell-toes and performs in front of half a dozen stacks of crowd-blinders, you know it’s going to take a little speed and a lot of luck. But either way, you have to make it happen. Failure is not an option.
Beverly Hills, CA - Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and his model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna have a romantic lunch together in Beverly Hills this afternoon. The two ate on the outdoor patio so that they could watch and listen to the strong rain storm that is hitting So. California this weekend. After finishing, the love birds walked around in the rain, carrying an umbrella and stopping to kiss quite frequently.

Bora Djordjević - legendary and often controversial singer and frontman of the ex-Yugoslvian (now Serbian) group Riblja čorba (Fish Stew) at their unplugged performance in Maribor, Slovenia.
All those years of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll (he's aged 63 in this photo) weren't exactly nice to him, but he's still holding up very well and foremost lively. All in all, it was quite a memorable event.

Not a new photo, but I found it as I was going through the archives to find shots for a new exhibition (my 5th this year - and not the last, I hope - yeah, I know, it's a very extraordinary year in this respect, but I'm not complaining). :)

The Antlers, an indie rock band from New York, playing at the Crossing Border Festival 2009. Crossing Border is one of the foremost international, interdisciplinary literature and music festivals in Europe, held every autumn in The Hague, the Netherlands (and this year for the first time also in Antwerp).

Playing host to the rescheduled Foo Fighters concert at Wembley (that was cancelled after frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg falling off stage at a show in Gothenburg, Sweden), the National Bowl in Milton Keynes came alive on Sunday, September 6, 2015 with the sound of 65,000 screaming fans. Following sets from rock duo Royal Blood and the eclectic propo-punk icon Iggy Pop, the Foos knew they had to deliver. From the moment the curtain sucked into a black hole vortex to the end of the show, it was obvious it was going to be one hell of a night to remember. Debra, Karl and I had arrived relatively early for the show and, being among the first to enter the MK Bowl, were offered "Inner Pit" passes. Issued on a first-come-first-serve basis, these gave fenced-off access to the stage and were an excellent surprise. We had a great view of the day's action and I was well positioned for photographs. "All My Life" opened the two and a half hour set, with Grohl spending the entire show seated on a most gloriously over-the-top throne, designed by Grohl himself and adorned by guitar necks. It transported the front-man up and down the runway, and was in itself a crowd pleaser! I have wanted to see the Foo Fighters for about two decades - and desperate to do so since "Wasting Light"- and they did not disappoint. A shredding version of "White Limo" alone justified the ticket price, and the rest was a wonderful (and sometimes nostalgic) tour through their back-catalogue. All in all, it was a triumphant, heart-warming singalong set that showed why, for so many, the Foo Fighters have been the soundtrack to the last two decades. Here's the Foo Fighters' set list for the Milton Keynes "Broken Leg" concert.
If I was desperate to see the Foo Fighters, I was absolutely aching to see 69 year old rock legend, Iggy Pop. I narrowly missed one of his gigs in Amsterdam at the end of 1978 and, after this initial disappointment, Iggy stayed on my Bucket List through the late-80's in London, the 90's in Prague and the naughties in the UK. When he was in town, I was always travelling, had other commitments or just had bad luck (i.e. the cancellation of the Foo's concert at Wembley in June where Iggy was on the supporting bill). Well, I finally got to see James Newell Osterberg, Jr. in full, topless, action in Milton Keynes on a fine evening in September 2015! Iggy brought his old school punk snarl to the party, prompting mass singalongs to classic tunes, some of which he penned with his old mate David Bowie in Berlin in the 70's. If I'm still as active as Iggy when I'm almost 70, I'll be more than happy! He made fine use of the runway before him, skipping, kicking, twisting and turning as only Iggy can. He took a breather every now and then, but Iggy still has more energy than any new breed act you care to mention. Fucking hell - he's the man that wrote "Lust for Life"! The snot-noses in the audience didn't know what hit them :-) FYI, here's the Iggy Pop's set list for the night.
A wonderful, sunny day and balmy evening with my family, and a fine way to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of my first date with my future-wife on September 7, 1983.
