Velvet Revolver

This Alternative-Rock project began life in 2002 in Los Angeles, California USA, when former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland teamed up with Guns N' Roses members, guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum plus guitarist Dave Kushner who rounded out the line-up.

Early in its evolution, the group released the song "Set Me Free" on 2003's "Hulk" soundtrack, the single peaked at #17 on The Mainstream Rock chart.
The band's debut full-length disc, "Contraband", was released in May 2004, this multi-platinum selling CD shot to #1 on both the U.S. and Canadian Albums charts while the single "Slither", rose to #1 on both Billboard's Modern and Mainstream Rock charts; it was also awarded a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. "Fall To Pieces" became their second Active Rock chart-topper and hit the #2 slot on The Modern Rock Tracks chart; the final single, "Dirty Little Thing", became another fast-rising Mainstream Rock top 10 hit.
In July 2005, a new Velvet Revolver song, "Come On, Come In", was featured on the "Fantastic Four" soundtrack; the track peaked at #14 on The Mainstream Rock chart.

"Libertad", Velvet Revolver's new record which was released in July 2007, is a bold move forward from their blistering debut album. While keeping their feet solidly on the foundation of searing Hard-Rock, this album broadens the band's sound to new levels of creativity. The first single "She Builds Quick Machines" sets the tone with its menacing aggression.

Jet

This Rock quartet was formed in the second half of the '90s in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA, but took the name Jet in 2002. The band consist of guitarist+vocalist Nic Cester, his younger brother Chris on drums+vocals, Cameron Muncey on guitar+vocals and bass player Mark Wilson.

Their music is largely influenced by the heavy-Rock of AC/DC and American Classic-Rock; in 2002 the band released a 4-track EP titled "Dirty Sweet" on Rubber Records, a series of live performances followed, delivering a high butane set when the need arose; Jet was picked up by Elektra Records and soon after they scored a support slot on the Australian leg of The Rolling Stones world tour.
The band's debut full-length CD, "Get Born", finally appeared in November 2003, the set debuted at #1 on the Australian Albums chart, hit the top 20 in U.K. and reached #26 on The Billboard Top 200 chart spawning an endless string of successful singles: "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" hit #3 on The Modern Rock chart, peaked at #16 in Britain and reached #29 on The Billboard Hot 100; "Cold Hard Bitch" topped both Modern and Mainstream Rock lists, "Rollover D.J." made top 20 in the same charts, "Look What You've Done" rose to #7 on The Modern Rock chart and crossed over to the top 40 Sales charts in the States, Australia, U.K. and even Canada.

Jet returned in October 2006 with its sophomore album, "Shine On"; their new CD includes the single "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is".

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Southern-Rock band formed in 1964 in Jacksonville, Florida USA, by high school friends lead singer Ronnie VanZant , guitarists Allen Collins and Gary Rossington, bass player Leon Wilkeson and drummer Bob Burns. They began playing in the Southern States under various names releasing a single in fall '60s, the quintet finally christened the band Lynyrd Skynyrd and recorded a demo-album plus the debut single, "I've Been Your Fool". The group issued via MCA their debut full-length LP , "Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd", in 1973 enlisting a new lineup that included the third guitarist, Ed King and Billy Powell on piano+keyboards, the single "Free Bird" with its superb three-guitar finale became a national radio hit but entered the Pop Singles chart two years later. Pete Townshend invited the group to open for The Who on their Quadrophenia tour, soon after Lynyrd Skynyrd returned to the studio and recorded their biggest hit single "Sweet Home Alabama" which peaked at #8 in U.S. Pop Singles chart and pushed "Second Helping" into the top 20 of The Pop Albums chart, which subsequently went multi-platinum. Before the year's end the new drummer Artimus Pyle replaced Burns and King left the group shortly afterward; "Nuthin' Fancy" came out in 1975 and climbed the Pop Albums chart ranking into the top 10, its single "Saturday Night Special" peaked at #27 in the national chart. 1976's "Gimme Back My Bullets" failed to enter the top 10 and the single "Double Trouble" scored a modest #80 in the U.S. Pop chart; the group's line-up was enlarged that same year by arrival of the guitar player Steve Gaines and a trio of female backup singers, in Atlanta they recorded the double-live set "One More From The Road" that ranked in the top 10 of The Pop Albums chart selling one million copies. Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded their fifth studio album, "Street Survivors", in October of 1977 and then tragedy struck. A plane crash took the lives of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and his sister Cassie, the album reached the #5 in U.S. chart and the single "What's Your Name" peaked at #13 in Pop chart, followed by "You Got That Right" and "That Smell". The next year saw the release of "Skynyrd's First And...Last" which consists of group's earliest recordings, it reached the #15 on The Pop Albums chart. After the crash the band broke up, in 1980 Rossington and Collins formed a new band which featured other ex-Skynyrd members but two years later they decided to go their separate ways. In 1986, Allen Collins, was involved in a car accident which killed his girlfriend and left him paralyzed; a year later the name Lynyrd Skynyrd was revived for a tour featuring Rossington, Powell, Pyle, Wilkeson and King, with Ronnie's brother Johnny Van Zant on vocals and Randell Hall on guitar; "Legend" a compilation of group's '70s songs, was issued in October '87 and generated "Truck Drivin' Man" that peaked at #12 on Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. In January of 1990, Allen Collins died from pneumonia, the next year the re-assembled Lynyrd Skynyrd began recording a new material and issued "Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991", it spawned "Keeping The Faith" and "Smokestack Lightning" which peaked at #10 and #2 respectively on The Mainstream Rock Tracks chart; two years later the single "Good Lovin's Hard To Find" reached the top 10 in the same chart, it was taken from the album "The Last Rebel". Followed in 1997 "Twenty" and its Mainstream Rock hit "Travelin' Man", two years later appeared "Edge Of Forever", like its three predecessor albums, was a modest success on The Billboard Top 200 chart, this album generated the top 20 Active Rock hit "Workin'". Another tragedy struck when the founder member Leon Wilkeson was found dead on July 27, 2001 in a hotel room in Florida. Two years later Lynyrd Skynyrd returned with "Vicious Cycle", which peaked at #30 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart.

Story Of The Year

The origin of this Alternative-Rock St. Louis, Missouri USA-based quintet, can be traced back to 1995, but Story Of The Year solidified its line-up nearly five years later with vocalist Dan Marsala, guitarist Ryan Phillips, bassist Adam Russell, second guitarist Philip Sneed and drummer Josh Wills.

They recorded a self-titled EP in 2000 and set out to create a fan base. The band inked a deal with Maverick Records and in September of 2003 released their debut full-length disc, "Page Avenue"; the album reached the #51 spot on The Billboard Top 200 chart and spawned three Modern Rock hit single tracks: "Until The Day I Die" peaked at #12, "Sidewalks" reached the #40 position and "Anthem Of Our Dying Day" crawled up into the top 10.
Released in October 2005, the band's second effort, "In The Wake Of Determination" who's "We Don't Care Anymore" barely sneaked into the top 30 of The Modern Rock Tracks, hit #19 on The Billboard 200 Albums chart.

Story Of The Year's highly anticipated third album and Epitaph Records debut , "The Black Swan" was released in April 2008; though the first single off the disc, "Wake Up", failed to make an impression on the charts, the album climbed into the top 20 of The Billboard 200 and hit #3 on the U.S. Top Independent Albums chart.

Sum 41

Sum 41 are a modern Punk-Rock quartet founded in Ajax, Ontario CANADA, in 1997 by teenagers singer+guitarist Deryck Whibley, lead guitarist Dave Baksh, bassist Cone McCaslin and drummer Steve Jocz.

Soon after forming, the band spent two years performing live in the local scene; in 1999, Sum 41 was signed to an independent label in their homeland and inked a deal with Island Records in the United States.
In the summer of 2000, the group released its debut full-length disc, "Half Hour Of Power", which included the Modern Rock top 40 track "Makes No Difference" and supported the album with a co-headlining tour with Blink-182, The Offspring and Social Distortion.
The next year saw the release of their breakthrough album, "All Killer No Filler"; it pierced the top 10 of both the Canadian and British Albums chart and reached the #13 slot on The Billboard Top 200 list, with almost 3 million copies sold. The first single off of the CD, "Fat Lip", smashed at #1 on The Modern Rock chart and was followed by "In Too Deep", which climbed into the top 10 and the final single, "Motivation", peaked at #24 on the same chart; "Fat Lip" also hit #18 on the U.K. Singles Top 40 chart and reached the #66 position on the U.S Billboard Hot 100.
Sum 41 then appeared on the soundtrack to the movie "Spider-Man" with the single "What We're All About" which debuted at #32 on the U.K. Pop Top 40 list.
The next album, "Does This Look Infected?", arrived in fall 2002; it became an instant smash hit, cracking the top 10 of the Canadian chart and entered the top 40 Stateside spawning two singles: "Still Waiting" peaked at #7 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart; "The Hell Song" reached the #38 position on the U.K. Singles Top 40 and hit #13 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks charts.
Sum 41 returned nearly two years later with "Chuck", the record rose to #2 on the Top Canadian Albums and climbed into the top 10 of The Billboard 200, their best chart-placing to date; the first single, "We're All To Blame", debuted at #10 on The Modern Rock chart, "Pieces" followed its predecessor into top 20 and the third single, "Some Say", received moderate airplay on alt-Rock stations.
In spring 2006 guitarist Dave Baksh quit the group; the split was put down to “creative differences” and he went on to focus on his new Metal band.

In 2007, now as a three-piece band, Sum 41 recorded "Underclass Hero", which was released in July and shot to #1 in their native Canada; the title-track was the first single to be lifted from their new CD.

Metallica

Band Members

James Hetfield
- vocals
Robert Trujillo - bass
Kirk Hammett - guitar
Lars Ulrich - drums

Subgenres:
thrash
alt metal
hard rock
pop metal
On October 28th, 1981, drummer Lars Ulrich makes guitar player/singer James Hetfield the offer he can't refuse: "I've got a track saved for my band on Brian Slagel's new Metal Blade label."

The truth is, Lars didn't have a band at that time, but he did that day when James joined him. The two recorded their first track on a cheap recorder with James performing singing duties (with a sore throat, even!), rhythm guitar duties and bass guitar duties. Lars dutifully pounded the drums, helped with musical arrangements and acted as manager. Hetfield's friend and housemate Ron McGoveny was eventually talked into taking up bass and Dave Mustaine took lead guitar duties.

The band adopted the moniker Metallica: Young Metal Attack, and began gigging in the Los Angeles area opening for bands like Saxon. They eventually recorded a full-fledged demo called No Life Til Leather. The demo was circulated near and abroad by Lars and his metal tape-trading buddies.

No Life Til Leather stirred up some interest in the underground metal community and the band started garnering some attention, especially in San Francisco and New York.

Metallica performed 2 shows in San Francisco and found the crowds there more friendly than LA's "there to be seen" crowd. They also caught up-and-coming band Trauma, and most importantly their bass player, Cliff Burton. Eventually, Metallica moved upstate and Cliff joined Metallica.

In New York, a copy of No Life Til Leather made its way to Jon Zazula's record shop, the aptly-named Metal Heaven. Zazula quickly recruited Metallica to come out east to play some shows and record an album.

The band made it to New York in a stolen U-Haul only to make announcement to their now manager/record producer: "Our guitar player has got to go." Roadie Mark Whitakker suggested a guitar player from a band he knew back in SF, and on April 1, 1983 Kirk Hammett joins Metallica.

Metallica's first album, Kill 'Em All, is released in late 1983.

Metallica toured behind Kill 'Em All, and in 1984, a second album Ride The Lightning was recorded and released. This album was a more mature album, both lyrically and musically while not missing a beat of the ferocity of Kill 'Em All.

Notable on Ride The Lightning's eight songs is track four; Fade To Black. Inspired by the theft of the band's equipment earlier that year in Boston, the song delves rather deeply into dealing with loss. Other tracks are inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and the movie The Ten Commandments.

The band signed with major management agency Q Prime and soon after is signed to major record label Elektra.

1986 brought their third album, Master Of Puppets, and a tour with Ozzy Osbourne. Metallica was reaching new highs: the new album reached #29 and enjoyed a 72-week run on the US charts. The Ozzy tour helped them gain wide exposure.

The band endured a minor downfall when James broke his arm skateboarding and was unable to play guitar. John Marshall pulled double duty, acting as Kirk's guitar roadie and filling in on rhythm guitar until James healed.

With the Ozzy tour complete the band moved on to Europe and planned their first venture to the Far East. It was hoped that James would be ready to handle his guitar duties, but for the first shows in Europe, Marshall filled in.

James returned in full guitar and vocal duties on September 26th, 1986, the last time Metallica performed with Cliff. Early the next morning, the tour bus skidded out of control and flipped, killing Cliff Burton.

It probably would have been easier for Metallica to call it quits right then and there. Cliff was a major part of the band, not only supplying bass but being somewhat of a teacher and mentor, sharing his musical wisdom and "be yourself" attitude.

Knowing Cliff would be the first to want them to carry on, Metallica minus one carried on.

Jason Newsted was chosen from over 40 auditions to play bass with Metallica. His many strengths included being able to keep up with the band`s drinking habits!

It was decided they would jump right back into "tour mode" to initiate the new bass player and wrap up loose ends.

The band also released an EP of all cover songs as an introduction to Jason. The EP, titled Garage Days Re-Revisited is considered a sequel of sorts to Garage Days Revisited which appeared as a B-side in 1984.

With Jason established, the band went back to record their fourth full-length album, äAnd Justice For All, released in August 1988. It reached #6 on the US charts, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal/Hard Rock album.

The band took the show back out on the road and toured extensively to all parts of the world. ...And Justice For All produced two US singles and the band's very first venture into music video for the song One. They finally won a Grammy for the One single.

In 1991 Metallica released the self titled "black album." With new producer Bob Rock, this album was a departure from the previous album. The songs were shorter and the sound was fuller, deeper and less monotone. The "black album" went straight to number one all over the world.. and stayed there for several weeks.

The album spawned several singles and videos and remains the most successful Metallica album to date. The band won several awards including a Grammy for the album and several MTV and American Music Awards.

The band toured and toured and toured (get the picture?) playing all alone in "An Evening With Metallica" or with Guns N' Roses, or as headliner at many festivals. Metallica took the Black Album (and the other songs as well) to the people.

Five years would pass before the next Metallica album saw the light. The album was called Load and was the longest Metallica album to date. With 14 songs it took all available room on a compact disc. The album was again produced by Bob Rock, as was ReLoad, which followed in 1997. Both albums were written and mostly recorded together, and continued what the self-titled album started. Soundwise, the album was thick and and punchy, the songs were loose, powerful and eclectic.

It would be unfair to say Metallica changed a great deal, as the band is the same band that recorded Kill 'Em All, ...And Justice For All and the rest, but the Load twins show a Metallica that has grown towards expanding past the "all attitude and speed" days and back to the "be yourself" attitude.

With the completion and subsequent touring for Load and ReLoad and quite possibly the end of this phase of Metallica, it's natural only to become somewhat introspective. While lyrically the Load albums reflected a great deal of what lies inside each of us emotionally and subconsciously, it came a time to look into what made this band.

No greater reflection of what makes Metallica "Metallica" are their influences. And as they did in 1981 when they started, 1984 with Garage Days Revisited and 1987 with Garage Days Re-Revisited, the band did what comes naturally.. they went back to the garage.

Metallica was and is very much a garage band. Whether it's in Kirk's basement, Jason's Chophouse, Lars' Dungeon or on stage in front of 50,000, Metallica always plays that song or that riff that helped them out somewhere along the road. They had already released 2 garage projects and put out a smattering of cover songs as B-sides. In fact, the Garage Days projects had become so collectable and rare, that poorly-recorded bootleg copies have been circulating for outrageous prices.

The band chose 11 new songs to record its third "in the garage" project, again with Bob Rock. The project was aptly-titled Garage Inc. as it incorporates ALL the previously-recorded garage cover songs along with the 11 new tracks.

So what's next? Look for the band on tour in some new, as well as the old familiar places. A new project unlike anything you'd expect, and a welcome to the year 2000 that most certainly be one to remember!

    It only looks easy. Not every band sells 1.5 million copies of their debut record, and shares stages with the hottest acts in the world while amassing a gigantic international fan-base long before radio and -- yes, you, dear press folk -- woke up and smelled the concrete. But Limp Bizkit rose out of their hometown of Jacksonville, FL, on the backs of their friends and allies around the globe. Through ceaseless touring and a dynamic live show, the little group with the curious name found themselves in heady company indeed.They're that band with the DJ from House of Pain, you're thinking. The ones that got where they are because they inked tattoos on their friends in Korn, those guys with the George Michael song. Yeah, yeah, yeah... Limp Bizkit have heard it all before. Here's the scoop: Significant Other, the band's second album for Flip/Interscope Records, shatters the sophomore jinx. Yes, they toured incessantly last year, scoring an impressive trifecta by appearing on the 1998 Warped and Ozzfest excursions, as well as the inaugural edition of the groundbreaking Family Values tour. This is the band that also threw a traveling party of their very own called "Ladies Night in Cambodia" for two solid months, which provided free admission for the first 200 women to attend each night. They had a massive hit on their hands with their inimitable cover of George Michael's "Faith," and they watched sales of their album fly past Platinum certification. Worthy and respectable efforts, all. "I think we've successfully set a landmark for this type of music," he states. "Other bands have combined singing and heavy rock and rap, but no one's done it all to the extent where the rap is totally hip-hop credible, the heavy parts can move 100,000 people at a time in an arena, and the melodies can make the whole world sing. That crash you just heard was the gauntlet hitting the ground. For the band - including guitarist Wes Borland, drummer John Otto, bassist Sam Rivers, and turntable-man DJ Lethal -- Significant Other is the album that will dispel the doubters and silence the skeptical. It's a collection of songs that Limp Bizkit say that they learned to write from playing to audiences around the world, watching their fans in action. "The title refers to male-female relationships, of course," says Wes Borland. "But it also refers to this record as our 'significant other'. This is the record that we've wanted to make since we started this band." Co-produced by the band with famed noise technician Terry Date (Pantera, White Zombie, Staind) and mixed by Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots), Significant Other's incisive tracks range from the corrosive fury of "Break Stuff" and "Nookie" (the album's first video and radio track) to the more measured and tuneful "No Sex" and "Rearranged." "It's a record about betrayal," Fred says. "I guess I ask for it sometimes. The way I get treated by back-stabbing friends and girls, it's probably due to my own actions." His trauma is captured in the record's rich sonic experimentation, such as the orchestral flourishes that creep into the dramatic "Don't Go Off Wandering." Or the slinky, phat beats of the landmark hip-hop jam, "N2gether," which pairs the band with Method Man from the Wu-Tang Clan and features production by DJ Premier of Gang Starr. Further adding to the excitement are the appearances of a host of luminaries, including the unlikely alliance of Korn's Jonathan Davis and Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland on the dynamic "Nobody Like You." In a humorous interlude, you can hear MTV veejay Matt Pinfield vent his spleen on the state of today's gutless rock environment. And Fred Durst's own mom even makes a cameo! Ever since they formed in late 1994, Limp Bizkit have blazed a trail for themselves like few other bands of the 1990s. Armed with their Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ debut, the band were unafraid to perform for any crowd, anywhere, at any time. The band could be seen on MTV, rocking the beach on the network's "Spring Break" edition of Fashionably Loud. And there they were again on the channel come New Year's Eve, effortlessly grooving with ex-House of Pain rapper Everlast and Kid Rock, and getting props from teen queen Jennifer Love Hewitt. Aided in their quest by their overactive imaginations, Limp Bizkit began their Ozzfest sets by emerging from a gigantic, filthy toilet, and brought down the house on the Family Values tour, armed with a troupe of break-dancers and a science fiction-themed stage straight out of Mars Attacks. In the meantime, one-time tattoo artist Fred Durst has proven himself one of the hardest-working men in show business. He's acted as an A&R rep for Flip Records (signing the band Staind and producing the upcoming second album from Jacksonville homies Cold); he's been a guest on records from such notables as Korn, Videodrone and Soulfly; and he directed the heavily-rotated video for "Faith" as well as the video for "Nookie." The singer helped design and create the outlandish above-described stages. He's even writing a screenplay! "Look at George Lucas!" laughs Fred, when asked about his energy and unflagging attention to detail. "That motherfucker, he don't stop, dude! If we do enough amazing things - films, videos, songs, music - you become legends, and a whole new generation becomes tripped-out to work with you." With a headlining spot secured on the second Family Values tour, and tentative plans to return yet again to the studio late this year, Limp Bizkit might appear to have their hands full dealing with all the attention they're certain to receive. Fred Durst is unconcerned. "I've never been so confident about our focus until right now," he grins. "I cannot wait to go on tour, and I'm usually the one who can't wait to go home!"

    Blink 182

    Band Members
    Mark Hoppus - bass/vocals
    Tom DeLonge - guitar/vocals
    Travis Barker - drums








    Subgenres:

    Fun, fast and melodic, with a finger for detail and a fistful of happiness - it’s San Diego’s Blink-182.

    Mark Hoppus (bass, vocals), Tom Delonge (guitar, vocals) and Scott Raynor (drums) met four years ago at an annual Future Proctologists of America camping trip. Gathered around the campfire, these disturbed kids recognized in one another the same love for songs involving girls, friends, life and chronic diarrhea. On that night, a legend was bom.

    After a short-lived turn as “El Cuatro and the Caj’ones,” a mariachl band available for weddings, birthdays and ritual circumcisions, the boys put aside their sombreros and plugged in their amps, hoping to spread their goodwill, positive attitude and fondness for toilet humor throughout the world.

    Since those early days four years ago, Blink-182 has had the opportunity to tour extensively throughout the US, Canada, Japan and Australia with bands like (and including) Pennywise and NOFX. Heavily involved in the surf, skate and snowboarding scenes, Blink-182 has been included on Taylor Steele’s surf video tours and on the ‘96 (and again in ‘97) Warped Tour. With the help of Billabong, the boys always try to look their best, despite the difficulties of life on the road and the hassle of trying to find pants that fit their peculiar groin regions.

    Over the years, Blink-182 has released a number of 7”s, and in 1994 they released their first full-length album, Cheshire Cat, on Grilled Cheese (a division of Cargo Music). In 1996, they signed a joint-venture record deal with Cargo Music and MCA Records.

    When questioned about the direction he would like to see the band take both musically and artistically, Mark, the grandfather of the group at 25 comments, “Well, it’s nothing major. I try to eat right and I work out a couple of times a week, but only on my right side, so I’m basically only building up one butt cheek. And I could kick your ass with it right now!” Scott, the baby at only 18, says nothing, having been raised by a tribe of mimes in the hills of Poway. His parents threw him out of the home when he was only four weeks old after they caught him urinating on himself. Tom, the middle child at 21 is perhaps the proudest of his band, explaining, We try our hardest in everything we do, and have a lot of fun at it. By the way, did you know that Mark only exercises one butt cheek?

    Brought together so many nights ago by the light of the campfire, these boys have a promising future ahead of them. They have dedicated their young lives to playing fun, positive, energetic music for anyone brave enough to lend them an ear. And now with the release of their newest album, Dude Ranch, they are set to conquer the hearts and souls of America, the world and eventually Uranus.
