Bon Jovi Return to Rock With “The Circle” On November 10th.

Bon Jovi told Rolling Stone that they’ll be going “back to rock & roll” on their next album, and today we learned when their return to their roots will go down: Bon Jovi announced today that their next album The Circle will be released on November 10th. First single “We Weren’t Born To Follow”

The Circle find Bon Jovi reteaming with producer John Shanks, who also worked with the band on 2005’s Have A Nice Day and 2007’s Lost Highway. Sambora also told RS that Bon Jovi would set out on tour to promote the album sometime in the Spring of 2010, promising that the ensuing trek is “going to be a big one.”

Stand By Me

2009-06-30T20:00:00.003+02:00

Bon Jovi joins exiled Iranian singer Andy Madadian in a song to show solidarity with the Iranian people. We like anything Bon Jovi does, but we're really loving that he took the time to create this amazing song.

It's a new version of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me," and Bon Jovi even duets in Farsi with Andy Madadian in the first verse! According to the song's co-producer, Don Was, the song was the result of a conversation he had with Madadian about "whether there was something we could do just to send out a little message of solidarity, remembering the '60s, believing music can change things."

So, the two went to the recording studio and saw Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and John Shanks having lunch outside. Was told them what they were doing and Jon Bon Jovie said, "Look, man, if you do it right now we'll do it with you." And so they did.

It's a duet between Bon Jovi and Madadian, who has been living in the U.S. since the Iranian Revolution of 1970. Joining them on the song is Richie Sambora on guitar, Was on bass, Patrick Leonard on keyboards, and Jeff Rothchild on drums.

According to Was, "We just cut it and the video is the session. It took about four hours and just fell into place nicely."

The song is not for sale and Was says it was never meant to even hit the Billboard charts. They created the song to be downloaded and shared by the people of Iran and as Was says, "The whole idea was to get it into Iran and tell them...to carry on, that the world is watching and we're with you."

Paris ain't a bad place to be...

2009-06-16T11:25:00.001+02:00

Here we go again: AC/DC in Paris - my second concert !

Well what a day ! The weather was beautfiul, sunny and so hot. I still got my red nose for souvenir... but the main memory is of course the band on stage !

After a long waiting under the sun, the stress because of the bad organisation (as always), drunk and dumb people... it's time to enter the stadium.
Got a correct spot along the middle stage at about 30m from the stage.

Two Support Acts: Café Bertrand & The Answer.
It was ok but I didn't pay much attention I was just waiting for the boys !

The stadium which contains 80000 people is sold out (f*ck!ng awesome), the golden pit is full and all the little devils are ready to rock.

9.00 PM - here they are !
The animation on big screens and the train is about to enter.
Everybody got insane and it was a constant fight to keep the spot.

No surprise for the setlist except for Dog Eat Dog (good to hear this song live though).
Rock n Roll Train, Hell Ain't a Bad Place To be, Back In Black, Big Jack, Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, Shot Down in Flames, Thunderstruck, Black Ice, The Jack, Hells Bells, Shoot to thrill, War Machine, Dog Eat Dog, Anything Goes, You Shook Me all night long, TNT, Whole lotta Rosie, Let There Be Rock, Highway To Hell, For Those About To Rock.

The best moments for me were:
Hell Ain't a Bad Place To be, Dirty deeds done dirt cheap (can't get enough of this song), Thunderstruck (incerdible intro) , The Jack (always a good live and Angus's strip ^^) and TNT (impressive to hear & see 80000 people screaming oi oi oi oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii)

Too bad they didn't add more songs or change the setlist.
Anyway it was a hard concert (physically) because everydoy pushed and it was not easy to keep the place or having a good stage view.
Impossible to move or even breathe because of the crowd.

And for those about to rock, especially my friends, I salute you !

Chicken lips & lizard hips

When i was a little kid
I never liked to eat
Mom would put things on my plate
And i'd dump 'em on her feet
But then one day she made this soup
I ate it all in bed
I asked her what she put in it
And this is what she said:

"oh, chicken lips and lizard hips
And alligator eyes
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs
And salamander thighs
Rabbit ears and camel rears
And tasty toenail pies
Stir 'em all together
And it's mama's soup surprise"

I went into the bathroom
And i stood beside the sink
I said, "i'm feeling slightly ill
And i think i'd like a drink"

Mama said, "i've just the thing
I'll get it in a wink
It's full of lots of protein
And vitamins, i think"

"oh, chicken lips and lizard hips
And alligator eyes
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs
And salamander thighs
Rabbit ears and camel rears
And tasty toenail pies
Stir 'em all together
And it's mama's soup surprise"

Yummy...

And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

What a show! I had never seen the Destroyers live but I've been waiting for this concert for so long.It was amazing, this guy is a great showman, very cool on stage. He was smiling all the time, joked and played with the fans.

The stage set-up was clear and very classy. Large stage with a rock/blues background with some animations on the big screen.
They offered us a very good show with an awesome setlist (only 1h30 though) ...

The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. The Count, a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin, the boss of Radio Rock -- a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that's populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation.

Madness... 2 weeks

2009-05-03T19:31:00.004+02:00

Madness
The Liberty of Norton Folgate
18.05.2009

Their first studio album since 1999’s 'Wonderful', 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate' comprises fourteen tracks of quintessential Madness; subversive, expansive British pop music at its finest as you would expect from one of the country's most successful and enduring bands.

As with all previous Madness albums, 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate' features songwriting contributions from across the band and is a timely reminder of the ability of this unique act to turn their hand to multiple musical styles. The band's home town is the star of the show from lead track 'We Are London' through to the closing 10 minute finale of the title track, celebrated for its diversity and characters and as the backdrop to the tales of lives lived. Few bands have come close to soundtracking London in the way of Madness and 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate' is an audio guide to the greatest city on earth.

The title is inspired by one of those wonderful quirks of British law. Norton Folgate is a small area of East London distinct from the surrounding borough in terms of local government, an original 'libery' drawing its administration from the people of the area. Originally the haunt of actors and artists, including Christopher Marlowe, Norton Folgate is symbolic of the spirit and independence of London and its people, a city built on innovation and adventure...

Lenny's revolution

2009-04-20T12:18:00.011+02:00

19.04.2009 - Let Lenny Rule Antwerp !

After an horrible support act and a long waiting til' 9.15 PM, it was time for a Love Revolution.
Lights went down, fans went insane... specially the women !

An intro and a start pretty hard followed by a lot of ballads and long solo's sometimes a little way too long for me.
Nice setlist with a good mix between the new songs and the old ones such as American Woman, Fly Away, I Belong To You And You Belong To Me, Let Love Rule, Always On The Run, I'll Be Waiting, Are You Gonna Go My Way...

I had already seen him in 2002 but yesterday was different, much better I think. Good atomsphere and the setlist was longer.

I'm not a big fan I just like what he does but i think it's an artist we got to see at least once live. It's a live artist and he's way better on stage than on a cd ! Lenny is a great showman and knows how to play with the crowd. He does what he wants and everybody follows him.
He was around by 8 excellent musicians.

You're looking good with that bra

Kravitz was in a good mood, very friendly and close to the public... he came down to shake hands with fans... and I even touched him waawww he'll never forget that :D

What a great artist !

Asbury Park: Working on a show
(More info on Backstreets)
"Tonight is the night you get to be the guinea pigs..." Bruce told the Convention Hall crowd, "the guinea pigs for the rest of the world!" This first rehearsal show for the Working on a Dream tour, and the first live airing of a decent portion of the new album, was a mixed bag -- and Springsteen seemed to know it going in. "I don't know if we got a show yet," he qualified at the outset, "but we'll do a bunch of songs and see how we do." You can't say he isn't self-aware: that's what we guinea pigs got, the Boss throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks, and that was pretty much the point. It's not a show yet; it's on its way, and this is the way. Sure, we had full lighting and the semblance of a show, but tonight felt less like a dress rehearsal and more like just the next incremental step in the rehearsal process, a first stab at playing this new batch for faces looking back.

Setlist:
Outlaw Pete

AC/DC stopped their Rock N Roll train in Belgium for two dates, unfortunately the second date (today) is cancelled (!)

Antwerp 01.03.2009 - THE concert I've been waiting for sooo long ! My first AC/DC show ! And I admit I'm a lucky bastard !
Support Act - The Answer

After a few waiting hours, the doors open at 6.30 PM. Time to get the right place at the right time !
And got a good spot next to the middle stage on the left side and stuck to the barricade !!
The stage set-up is outstanding !

The arena got full pretty fast and all the little devils are ready.
Not so long to wait now and the worst is behind us.

8 PM: The Answer enters the stage for a 30 min performance.
Their music is ok and they were good onstage but to be honnest I didn't pay too much attention, I waited the Australian boys with so much impatience ;o)

And finally...

8.50 PM - Lights down, the crazy train enters and all the passengers go insane !
Amazing intro with animated cartoon. Really well done and pure rock & roll !
It's ready to go, they jumped off the train and started with Rock N Roll train followed by Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be and the great Back In Black.
The band is in a very good mood, they move and jump everywhere around the stage.

They played 5 or 6 songs from their new album Black Ice... War Machine sounds very good live.
And of course their classic songs: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Thunderstruck (excellent intro), The Jack (with a brilliant and sexy Angus's strip-tease), Shoot To Thrill, TNT, Whole Lotta Rosie and Let There Be Rock (outstanding guitar solo) !

To finally last with Highway To Hell (we were already in) and For Those About To Rock.

So it's time for them to go back in the train but we're already all waiting for the next stop.

It was a very good concert, these boys still rock after all these years. Angus is a Guitar God and Brian is an amazing performer !
Lights, stage set-up, special effects, big screens, everything was outstanding !

Looking forward to see them in Paris and... Let There Be Rock !

Valentine's Day... without you

They say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed
But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
And God's light came shinin' on through
I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms
No no baby it was you
So hold me close honey say you're forever mine
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine

Was there any doubt that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band would get the job DONE in Tampa? The band's historic halftime performance opened with "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and drove straight into "Born To Run." "Working On A Dream" followed, showing great promise as a showstopper on the 2009 tour to come. The set closed with a football-centric "Glory Days." And...what a great game! Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers on their 27-23 victory and sixth title, and the Indianapolis Cardinals for a superb season. Back to reality...

Oasis: This was not a drill

2009-01-16T14:19:00.006+01:00

Brussels 13th January 2009

Hmm not so much to say about this concert... It was a good concert but I almost fell asleep cause I just went back from holidays and got a seat place :D !
I hate to be seated at a rock concert but I was way too tired to be standing. I would have loved to jump on "Lyla" and "Cigarette & Alcohol" though :D It was awesome to see the crowd !
Anyway the atmosphere was great and I'm glad to have seen them.

It was the second time I saw Oasis. I prefered the first one it was more rock n roll.
This time the Gallagher brothers talked to the public, wished us a good evening, thanked us and even asked how we were doing. Liam also congratulated his brother on a song.... wow quite surprising cause when I saw them in 2005 they only said "fuck you" !
They're getting old !The setlist was good but I would have prefered more rockin' songs

Intro (fuckin'in the bushes)
Rock 'n' Roll Star
Lyla !!
The Shock Of The Lightning
Cigarettes & Alcohol - one of my favorite !
The Meaning Of Soul
To Be Where There's Life
Waiting For The Rapture
The Masterplan
Songbird
Slide Away
Morning Glory
Ain't Got Nothin'
Half the world away
I'm Outta Time
Wonderwall
Supersonic

Don't Look Back In Anger (impressive performance)
Falling Down
Champagne Supernova
I Am The Walrus
Favorite parts: The intro, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Lyla, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwal, Don't look back in Anger, Rock n Roll star,....
One regret: They didn't play "My Generation" ! Fuckin' brothers !

Upcomin' concerts....

Christmas Time

2008-12-24T08:10:00.000+01:00

Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
- Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.
- Janice Maeditere

I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Christmas Legendary

"It ain't Santa Claus...
We got something better... Bruce Springsteen !"

Completely MAD !

2008-12-16T11:53:00.000+01:00

THE concert I waited for sooo long... Madness in Belgium, FINALLY :D
Madness was in Brussels yesterday for an one-shot concert.

Jeez - what a show ! It was totally crazy but soooo good !
Everybody went there to have fun, dance and spend a good time and I think we all enjoyed the show.

The band was fantastic on stage and in a good mood. Smash is so classy with his English style and the musicians are excellent.
The stage set-up was simple but cool with some great lights-effect which were very nice.

They entered the stage with Night Boat To Cairo and everybody went insane and started to jump and scream, it was really crazy !!
The setlist was good, they only played about 90 minutes but they did a good mix between their good old songs and a few new ones.

We could hear The Prince, Baggy Trousers, Embarrasement, House Of Fun, Our House, My Girl, It Must Be Love, Grey Day, NW5, Madness,... and of course the famous One Step Beyond. But by the way, what did they do to that song "One Step Beyond"? Gosh they played the song without its amazing intro "Hey you, don't watch that, watch this,...." They only screamed One Step Beyond, played the song and that's all !! Damn' it !
That's the only thing I regret, otherwise the concert was great and I think we've been very lucky to have them here, in Belgium as they only toured for a few dates.

As I was standing in the "jumping" crowd it was hard to take pictures they're all blurry, DAMNED... !

Favorite parts:
Night Boat Top Cairo, Baggy Trousers, House Of Fun, Our House, and specially Madness, One Step Beyond and The Prince (loved it),...

Well what could I add... maybe a small comment about the support act. A Belgian band called The Moon Invaders; very good band and nice live performance. Good warm-up before M.A.D.N.E.S.S !
Now I'm completely mad !

Crash Boom Bang :'(

2008-12-14T17:47:00.008+01:00

CRASH - BOOM - BANG !

My papa told me to stay out of trouble
When youve found your man, make sure hes for real
Ive learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars I wear that wont heal - they wont heal

Cos every time I seem to fall in love - crash! boom! bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall - crash! boom! bang!
Thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same.

Im walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew
My mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and lord, I still do - Im still breaking the rules
I kick it up, I kick it down.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love - crash! boom! bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall - crash! boom! bang!
Thats my real middle-name and it has always been the same
Thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same

I still feel the heat (slowly fallin from the sky)
And the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain comin (tumblin from behind)
And the wild holy war

I kick it up - I kick it down
And every time I seem to fall in love - crash! boom! bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor - crash! boom! bang!
Thats the call, thats the game and the pain stays the same
Thats my real middle-name and it has always been the same

I told you !

Pas de chichis avec Bashung !

2008-12-05T10:17:00.005+01:00

"Pas de chichi, ça sera chansons, chansons, chansons..." nous a dit Alain Bashung mercredi soir à l'AB, Bruxelles.
Pour être honnête, j'y suis allée par curisoité. Je ne suis pas vraiment familière avec tout son répertoire, mais je le connaissais assez pour avoir envie de le voir en concert... et je regrette vraiment pas !
Quelle classe !

J’ai été agréablement surprise et très émue par sa prestation. Il n’a pas beaucoup parlé, il s’est exprimé uniquement par ses chansons, mais le message est vraiment bien passé! Il suffisait de voir l’ambiance dans la salle pour en être convaincu.
Malgré la maladie, il avait l’air en forme (sacrée belle voix) et nous a offert une performance de toute beauté, alliant émotion et énergie, comme seul un grand Monsieur en est capable. A tel point qu’il m’a rappelé le concert de Leonard Cohen; ils partagent la même classe, la même force tranquille qui caractérisent les artistes qui n’ont plus rien à prouver…
Puis, ses musiciens ont vachement assuré aussi !

C'était un très beau moment et une prestation vraiment poignante !
Mon seul regret : il n’a pas joué Résident de la République mais Blowin’ In The Wind en intro de Osez Joséphine c’était terrible, j’en ai encore des frissons !

Respect et merci Monsieur Bashung !

Lucky fans !

2008-11-30T18:17:00.006+01:00

Slowly but surely, we'll be getting a better sense of Working on a Dream. While the title song remains an iTunes exclusive download for the next couple weeks, a second track from the new album is about to drop elsewhere: starting Monday, December 1, "My Lucky Day" will be an Amazon.com exclusive download (and there's a sample snippet there now).

Lucky Day
In the room where fortune falls
On a day when chance is all
In the dark of fierce exile
I felt the grace of your smile

Honey, you're my lucky day
Baby, you're my lucky day
Well I lost all the other bets I made
Honey, you're my lucky day

When I see strong hearts give way
To the burdens of the day
To the weary hands of time
Where fortune is not kind

Honey, you're my lucky day
Baby, you're my lucky day
Well I lost all the other bets I made
Honey, you're my lucky day
Whoa!

I've waited at your side
I've carried the tears you've cried
But to win, darlin' we must play
So don't hide your heart away

Honey, you're my lucky day
Baby, you're my lucky day
Well I lost all the other bets I made
Honey, you're my lucky day
Whoa!

The Wrestler aka The Boss

2008-11-30T13:44:00.011+01:00

The Wrestler
Music and lyrics by Bruce Springsteen, The Wrestler is the theme song for the upcoming motion picture of the same name.

It plays in an acoustic arrangement over the film's closing credits. The song also gets significant play over the film's promotional trailer.
"The Wrestler' will be included as a bonus track (as well as A Night With The Jersey Devil) on Springsteen's upcoming album Working On A Dream (January 2009).
Amazing song and the lyrics are so powerful.
After A night with the Jersey Devil, Working on a dream and now The Wrestler, I'm sure this album will be awesome (as usual). He's the best for sure !

To all those people doing lines...

The Killer in Brussels

2008-11-27T15:02:00.003+01:00

Yesterday I saw the Killer... and I survived !
I don't know if his balls were on fire but Brussels was not really in fire !I'm not a big fan of Jerry Lee Lewis, I just like his songs because he's a legend and his music and style are very famous. I wanted to see him live to see what it would be !

Well I'm not disappointed it was ok but very short...The concert lasted only 1 hour and he appears only after the 4th song (the first 3 songs were played by his band only). Otherwise they played all the famous songs... from Great balls on fire, You Win Again to Roll Over Bethoven,...

Jerry still got the rythm and hasen't forgotten how to play the piano. Hi voice was not so good though and I didn't understand a word of what he said between the songs. But well he's 74 so we can forgive him I think!

Oh and before I forget, I should add a comment about the support act "Bobby Solo & Boogie Boy" but can't find the right word to describe them... it was so weird and unreal ! You should have seen that to believe it !
I think it's the worst support act I have ever seen, oh no it was Mel C (who was the support act for Bon Jovi in 2000) Yurrk !!!!!!!!

The Boss is still working...

Bruce Springsteen offers his new single
(free download here)

Workin' on a dream
I hear the nights are long the days are lonely
I think of you and… I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
Now the cards I’ve drawn is rough and darkened
I straightened the back and … I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream (come on)
I’m working on a dream, though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream, and I know it will be mine someday

Rain pouring down I swing my hammer
My hands are rough from… working on a dream
I’m working on a dream (let’s go)
I’m working on a dream, though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay
I’m working on a dream, well our love will chase the trouble away

I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday

The sun rises up, I climb the ladder
A new day breaks and… I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream ...
I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday
I’m working on a dream, oh it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream, and our love will make it real someday

"I hope`Working on a Dream' has caught the energy of the band fresh off the road from some of the most exciting shows we've ever done"
B. Springsteen

Scorpio rocks

2008-11-09T07:33:00.006+01:00

Do you believe in astrology and horoscopes?
I don't, but I have to admit that I have a lot in common with what they say about Scorpio ! But I won't tell what it's true or not, you'll have to guess ;)

Scorpio is one of the most energetic and powerful signs in the Zodiac horoscope. Scorpio people have an exciting and attractive personality, very passionate and emotional. Scorpio possess forceful personalities and can easily be fitted for leadership roles.

Scorpio possess a higher chance of having high or genius level of IQs than most of the population. Scorpio are forceful, enthusiastic, critical and analytical.

Positive Traits
Determined and forceful
Powerful and passionate
Emotional, intuitive, loyal and dynamic
Exciting and magnetic. Scorpios have magnetic and dynamic personalities. Typically they are likable and have a soothing affect on those around them. Scorpios also tend to be very creative and inventive and excel in professional careers such as medicine chemistry and physics. They tend also to be patient, courteous, loyal and generous. Those around them will often use them to help with problem resolution. Their greatest assets are the powers of will and determination.

Negative Traits
Jealous and resentful
Compulsive, obsessive, egoist and suspicious
Secretive and obstinate. Although patient and courteous, if they become aroused there is no fury equal to the Scorpio. They can become bitterly cutting to those around them. The more sensitive Scorpio may have a tendency to lose their composure and lash out with unconstructively. Because they may possess keen, creative minds, they may tend to day dream to extreme.

Proud to be a Scorpio :D

Other Scorpios...
Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Simon & Gartunkel (yes both!), Joaquin Phoenix, Julia Roberts, Demi Moore, Winona Ryder, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Larry King, Martin Scorsese,...

A weekend with the Jersey Devil

A Night With The Jersey Devil - Bruce Springsteen
(captures made by me !)

Trick or Treat ?

2008-10-31T06:37:00.034+01:00

I choose the musical treat...

Happy Halloween from The Boss.
Bruce Springsteen is offering a musical treat to his fans this Halloween.
He posted, around midnight Thursday, a scary new song, "A Night With the Jersey Devil," as a free download on his website. He is also showing, there, a video he made for it.

He plays the legendary Jersey Devil himself, telling his tale as a gritty blues stomp.
"Sixteen witches cast 16 spells/Make me a guitar out of skin and human skull," he growls, at one point.
"So kiss me baby til it hurts," he commands at another. "God lost in heaven, men lost on Earth."
He emerges from a swamp or river at the start of the video, and sinks back into it at the end. Fires rage, dogs howl.

"Dear Friends and Fans,
If you grew up in central or south Jersey,
you grew up with the "Jersey Devil."
Here's a little musical Halloween treat.
Have fun!" Bruce Springsteen

Hey Bruce,
I didn't grow up in Jersey but
I'm a little Belgian devil and I ain't scared of you
even with your dark eye...
You're the sexiest devil I've ever seen !

Hear me now!
I was born 13th child, 'neath the 13th moon
Spit out hungry and born anew
Daddy drag me to the river tie me in rocks
Throw me in where it's deep and wide
I go down, I don't die
Hole in the river bottom, I crawl through
Come back kill six brothers and sisters, kill papa too
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

Into my bed with her kerosene my mama creep
Set my flesh to burning, whilst I sleep
I burn, burn, burn, till my soul burn black
Black rains fall, I come back, I come back
Get down Mama, get down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

16 witches, cast 16 spells
Make me guitar outta skin and human skull
Sing you a song like the wind in the sandy loam
Bring you baby out'cha your happy home

Ram's head, forked tail, clove hoof, love's my trail
I sup on your body, sip on your blood like wine
Out world theirs, this world mine
So kiss me baby till it hurts
God lost in heaven, we lost on earth
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Wherever I go, wherever I go

Well I got a brand new lover
I love her yes I do,
She's my one and only and her name is Baby Blue...
Thank you Boss for this great video and song !

You're the best and definitely the Jersey Devil !

The Canadian Poet was in Brussels for two nights (Sunday & Monday).
Yesterday I saw Leonard Cohen and his fabulous musicians for the first time.

I have to admit I was a little bit scared to get "bored" or to fall "asleep" 'cause it's not really my music's style... it's way too calm for me. But as I'm in love with his voice I didn't want to miss that and I was right ! I really liked it.
What an evening and unforgetable concert. It was a magical moment, 3 hours full of emotions.

Cohen was kind, charming, so generous and respectfull with his musicians and the public. He was funny and poignant at time.
His golden voice gives us shivers and sometimes can also bring a few tears to our eyes.
Yesterday his voice was amazing from the first to the last note. A moment that no can forget. It was so powerful !

The concert was divided into two parts:
First part about 1h then a break of 20 minutes followed and the second part lasted 1h30.
The spoiled us with a very good and long setlist... Dance With e To The End Of Love, The Future, Closing Time , Ain't No Cure For Love, Anthem, Bird On A Wire, Who BY Fire, Hallelujah, Heart With No Companion, Suzanne, Take This Waltz, In My Secret Life, So Long Marianne, I'm Your Man, If It Be Your Will, Everybody Knows, Anthem, Democracy, Tower Of Song (one of my favorites), ...

"I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the tower of song" L. Cohen

My mind is still in his poetry. Thank you Mister Cohen !

We've been waiting so long for this new album... 8 years ! Now it's there and no worries AC/DC hasen't changed !
After several listenings to the new album I think it's time to post a little something....
15 rockin' powerful songs with some great beats and amazing guitar riffs !

Brian Johnson's voice is great and pretty strong maybe better than before, Angus's riffs are still the best, the lyrics stay AC/DC and the beats are really entertaining !
I can't wait to hear these songs live... especially Rock 'N Roll Train, Anything goes, War Machine, Decibel, Wheels and so on !
This album really kick ass !

Elliott Murphy vs Coldplay

2008-10-05T11:56:00.003+02:00

"Elliott Murphy or Coldplay"
That's what Elliott Murphy told us yesterday in Brussels.
"Tonight you had two choices in Belgium... Elliott Murphy or Coldplay. Well I have to admit that Coldplay is... hmm ... much younger than us so you have plenty of time to see them ! Thank you for being here !"

To be honest I didn't have the choice I had already my ticket for Murphy and Coldplay has been sold out in a few minutes !!! Colplay will be for the next time maybe...

Elliott Murphy and band were yesterday in Brussels.
The concert was great as usual. That was my 3rd Murphy's concert and probably the best one.
Elliott and his band are amazing onstage. They always make great shows.
Yesterday they played for about 3 hours and it's like they could goin' on and on... We can't stop them.
They're having so much fun live! They played all their good stuff but I couldn't remember the right setlist it was so long !
They were close and very friendly with us and they joked as soon as they could.

Elliott needed some "special effects" for a song...
glasses and the lyrics - Very sexy Elliott !!!
He asked us with or without glasses
And added sunglasses is the secret !

Nice T-shirt Elliott !

Nice concert and Elliott Murphy is sexier with ages... I can't believe he's 60. What a sexy man !!! :p

Hearts On Fire in Antwerp

2008-10-01T12:09:00.025+02:00

After one year, Bryan Adams is back to us. He and his band were yesterday in Antwerp.
8.30 PM: Support Act onstage (Black Daniel) .
I didn't know them but it was really cool. They were pretty good and it was fun. I really enjoyed listening to them.

9.30 PM: Tonight We Have The Stars...
Bryan first started alone on a small stage which was in the middle of the crowd.
After 2 songs he joined the band on the main stage and started to play all his great rockin' stuff... Best Of Me, Somebody, Back To You, Kids Wanna Rock (jeez, what a guitar solo), Summer Of 69, Heaven, Cuts Like A Knife, It's Only Love, Everything I Do, When You're Gone (where he always choose a girl from the crowd to sing with him), Cloud n°9, Run To You, 18 till I Die, The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You, Hearts On Fire, and many more (I'm trying to remember the right setlist).

After two hours of pure rock n' roll, Adams ended the show alone with his acoustic guitar singing Straight From The Heart (video ©Jovilover) and All For Love.

Very good concert yesterday, one of the best's Bryan Adams concerts I've ever seen (maybe because I was really close, I don't know).
But I think he could sing more different songs... they often perform the same songs and we're not really surprised anymore. That's maybe the only thing I can blame to Bryan Adams. He has so much stuff....

And an other thing, we always speak about Bryan Adams but he's not alone on stage. The guitarist Keith Scott is simply amazing (his solo's are outstanding) and the rest of the band is really good too.

Keith Scott with his teeth on guitar !

The best moments: Kids Wanna Rock (the solo was unbelievable, they made their guitars cry and laugh, that was fantastic), The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me, Somebody, Summer Of 69', 18 till I Die, Cuts Like A Knife and Straight, Somebody, It's Only Love,...
One song I can't stand anymore is Cloud N9 - Yark !
Otherwise Bryan was in a very good mood and really amazing onstage like always.
I've seen them several times now and I've never been disappointed. He always gives the best of him that's for sure.
Thanks to the Canadian Boss and to the rest of the band !
Great job guys !

Mêlée in Brussels

2008-09-28T09:45:00.009+02:00

Mêlée: Band from California formed in 2000. They released many singles but became known in Europe with the singles Built To Last and Imitation from the album Devils And Angels (2007).

They were in Brussels (AB) last night (27 September).
That was their second time in Belgium and my first time (probably the last one !).

It was ok but the band is way too young for me ! I can't help, I prefer the olders :p!
They're pretty good live though. They played for about 1h30 and sang their famous singles.

Well I couldn't say the right and complete setlist as I don't know much about them (I just went there by curiosity) but they performed many tracks from their album Devils And Angels (wich is pretty good).

The band were in a good mood, they joked, they were close to the fans, they were having fun onstage and it's better like that.

I think it's the yougest band (ages from 21 to 26) I have ever seen live ! And their fans are pretty young too.
My friend and I were among the "oldest fans" there.... I'm not used to that !
Gosh I feel old now !!!

Fuck you !

2008-09-26T21:44:00.004+02:00

What a performance !
