Best Quote Ever |

"While I'm playing onstage, there are times I know [Jerry Garcia] would be hating what I'm doing, that it's not the way he would want to do it. And there are times I'm sure that he'd be loving it. I can hear him, sort of, kicking me in the head or flagging me on, the same as when he was around."
—Former Grateful Dead guitarist and vocalist Bob Weir, May 9, 2003, Las Vegas Sun.
The Weekly Playlist |
Gwen Stefani is sticking to solo material on her "Harajuku Lovers" tour, meaning you probably won't hear these five catchy No Doubt numbers at her Las Vegas stopover:
|
1. "Spiderwebs" (Tragic Kingdom, 1995)
2. "Don't Speak" (Tragic Kingdom, 1995)
3. "Trapped in a Box" (No Doubt, 1992)
4. "Excuse Me Mr." (Tragic Kingdom, 1995)
5. "Hella Good" (Rock Steady, 2001)

Avenged Sevenfold
City of Evil (3.5 stars)
|
The third album and major-label debut from metal-core outfit Avenged Sevenfold finds the band increasingly emphasizing their classic heavy-metal influences over their earlier hard-core tendencies. Sounding like the unholy union of Iron Maiden, My Chemical Romance and Guns N' Roses, AS rip through catchy, punk-influenced rockers, soaring ballads and nine-minute metal epics with equal virtuosity.
