B Sides for 01/26/2012
Originally scheduled to have its premiere tease on CSI Wednesday night, a 90-second preview of "Stay Frosty" arrived online prior to the broadcast. It's a bluesy-acoustic romp that starts out swampy before getting LOUD � think of the band's cover of "Ice Cream Man" from their 1978 debut, for starters. more on this story
In the commercial, entitled "Drive the Dream," the new 2012 Optima Limited races through a Gen X couple's wildest thoughts as they sleep, including: Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima waving the checkered flag at a speedway; an in-your-face Motley Crue concert; mixed martial arts legend Chuck Liddell battling in the ring; a heroine and hunk on horseback in a romance novel setting; champion bull rider Judd Leffew taming a bucking rhinoceros; and a fairy tale ending. "Motley Crue had a blast doing the Kia commercial," said bassist Nikki Sixx. "A hot model, a fast car, a pro fighter, pyrotechnics and rock n' roll... What's not to love?" more on this story
Now, a behind the scenes look at the making of the video for "Public Enemy No. 1" has surfaced. The footage provides some insight into the song's creation and development, as well as the making of the "wild west" themed clip. "There's a really cool vibe to the whole thing," explains leader Dave Mustaine. "This was a really a fun experience�.I knew that we just made a video that was going to be able to be shown just about anywhere." Check out the video here.
'I'm With You' has been transferred to a visual medium with the help of director Robert Hales. The new clip was impressively filmed in one take and features each respective member in separate rooms as the camera revolves to capture the action in each. Hales explained how each member was involved with the design of their own area when speaking with Spinner: "I can say that the band were great to work with � real gentlemen � and it was a genuinely collaborative process. They were all extremely involved creatively. Each room loosely represented the band members' personalities, so almost all the props and artwork in the rooms came from their personal collections." more on this story
The official music video for the new Jane's Addiction single 'Underground' looks similar to elements of their stage show � which usually features burlesque dancers on stage with the band. There are several shots of beautiful women in various stages of undress but we're also pretty sure we saw at least one tranny in there too. Perry Farrell leads the band looking like he raided Bishop Don Magic Juan's closet, as we're taken on a guided tour through a typical day at the 'Underground.' Check it out here.
Peter Green, 40 years on from his pioneering work with the original Fleetwood Mac, remains a rock and roll enigma. Columns, articles, theses and books have been written about this English guitar great who refused to conform to anybody's rules and regulations. Fired by the legendary British blues godfather John Mayall, the maverick Green was, many said, a better player than Eric Clapton back in the swinging blues days of '60s southern England. He took a blues instrumental to the top of the charts with Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross," a truly remarkable achievement, and then left the band as they were poised for world domination. Health problems, including a nervous breakdown or two, at different times over the past thirty years have only made Green all the more fascinating to rock and roll mythmakers. That he eschews the limelight has only added to the mystique. Funny thing is, when given the chance to talk about his version some of the great "Peter Green" stories, he is remarkably down-to-earth, matter-of-fact and he explains how everything, invariably, gets blown up by the press. The story goes that on this day in 1977, Green was arrested for possessing a gun without a license and using threatening behavior. He supposedly tried to shoot his ex-manager Clifford Davis when he delivered his royalty check. The police came and arrested Green and he was put in prison. But Green, while not denying the story's basic facts to Q magazine in 1997, does have a somewhat less dramatic memory of events 20 years previous. For one thing, he says, the gun in question was a .22 rifle, the kind you'll find at a fairground, and he didn't even own any bullets. As for actually threatening to shoot his ex-manager, Green explains that while a threat was made, it was made on the phone. But, as he told Q, the media always like a good story. more on this story
