Steve Vai la Cerbul de Aur ???

jeee, acu ca s-au confirmat ZZ Top (20 octombrie, la Polivalenta, boo dar luati-va bilete pina pe 26 august, cit sunt 100 ron), Scorpions (5 noiembrie, Romexpo), Mike Stern la Masters of Jazz, iaca veste via Doctorje, cica vine Steve Vai la...Cerbul de Aur !!! Mi se pare ireal de ironic ca Vai sa cinte la Cerbul de asa, dar iaca, dupa 9 ani de la concertul (istoric pt unii, incl.me,) de la Sala Palatului, cu Eric Sardinas in deschidere (14 aprile 2000), sa cinte in Piata Sfatului ! Vai scoate un nou album< Where the Wild Things Are (Nu stiu daca are legatura cu filmul), pe 18 septembrie !

Artistul rock Steve Vai vine la Cerbul de Aur 2009, anunta A&A Records. El va fi premiat in cadrul festivalului cu un trofeu pentru intreaga sa activitate muzicala.

sau si mai rau:
Festivalul va cuprinde sase seri: Evergreen, Pop, Rock, Finala concursului de interpretare, Gala Laureatilor, Seara Superstar si Hora Satului.

Trupa Hot Chocolate va canta in incheierea primei seri a Cerbului de Aur, iar in seara Superstar vor fi prezenti pe scena chitaristul Steve Vai, Tiziano Ferro si Loredana.

cam nashpa, Steve ! oare o stii ce-l asteapta ?



anyway, great interview with the Man here:

Q:Joe Satriani is doing Chickenfoot, don’t you miss to perform or be in a band again?
SV: I have a band. But if you are referring to a rock band with a lead singer, no. I did that and it was great fun but I have no desire at this time to do it. Maybe in the future, who knows. I went to see Chicken Foot the other night and it was fantastic. Sammy sang great and Joe played his butt off. It was a good ol' rock and roll time and I think they are a good rock n’ roll party band.

Q:If you could do a one-off cover album project, whose songs would you choose?
SV: All Tom Waits.

and now for something competly different: MACHETE

cine a vazut Grindhouse stie...unul din trailerele false regizate de Robert Rodriguez pentru upcoming attractions, cu Danny Trejo as Machete, Cheech Marin as the priest si Jeff Fahey as the senator.


Acum Machete e film pe bine si au inceput filmarile acum 2 saptamini cu un dream cast!!! Si fanii fac comparatii cu The Expendables, mai ales pentru ca Steven Seagal are un rol aici, alaturi de Don Johnson, Michele Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba
si... Robert De Niro !!! Mexploitation! coming in 2010 !


Robert Rodriguez la Comic Con 2008 unde spune ca a scris scenariul mai demult si a tot luat din el, asa ca nu era doar un fals tease ci Machete will get done ! Se pare ca va co-regiza cu Ethan Maniquis, co-editorul lui !

posterul vechi la Machete din epoca Grindhouse !!!

Interviu cu Tarantino in Village Voice

via AC, un megaextensiv interviu din Village Voice si o cronica de J. Hoberman la film, extrem de bullseye

Tarantino's movie ends with its corniest character (Pitt) proclaiming that a particular Old Testament barbarism just might be his masterpiece. As I wrote from Cannes, this movie could well be Tarantino's—if masterpiece is taken to mean the fullest expression of a particular artist's worldview. At Cannes, Roth characterized the movie as "kosher porn." Tarantino was less provocative and more grandiose—"The power of cinema is going to bring down the Third Reich. . . . I get a kick out of that!"—but he, too, was reveling in the compensatory, reductive aspect of the movies.

Here is an alternate World War II, in which Jews terrorize and slaughter Nazis—a just Holocaust. Schindler's List comforted audiences with similar, albeit less outrageous, reversals (the list is life, not death; concentration camp showers gush water, not gas). However devoted to movie magic, however, Spielberg would never be so tasteless as to admit the excitement he experienced in asserting his will over history.

un interviu destul de chul tot cu QT in noul Uncut si o cronicheta de 4 stele, (in mod ciudat pe sit are trei stele !!!), la ei filmul lunii e THE HURT LOCKER (da, mi-as fi dorit sa-l vad la cinema), si Mesrine are 5 stele !

parerea mea despre IB mi-am expus-o de la Cannes aici ! dar cred ca la a doua vizionare cotatia mea initiala va creste vertiginos !

Faith No More-Epic & more !!!

si de pe situl lui Ticke, despre FnM, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Patton & co si concertul de la Bucuresti !
si ce am primit pe youtube la Reunited despre Sziget:

Hehe, ieri la Sziget solistul a purtat un costum rosu. Arata ca un pimp. Pe langa ca si-a tras pe cap chilotii unei individe din public si a inghitit un siret al unui baschet aruncat pe scena.

ma gindeam cum poate arata trupa perfecta de turbatzi,
Mike Patton -voce
Buckethead-chitara
Les Claypool -bass
si nu-mi vine nimeni peste Keith Moon la tobe !
