WOW!! If you haven’t gotten yer mitts on the book, To Live Is To Die: The Life & Death Of Metallica’s Cliff Burton, you oughtta order it from Metallica’s official web site now!

Written by the UK’s Classic Rock Magazine’s Joel McIver with help from the band’s Kirk Hammett, the book not only takes you through Cliff’s life and terribly tragic death, but will evoke all kinds of emotions in ya!
Simply put, these collaborators put together one helluva read!
“I’m deeply honored that Kirk spoke to me for the Cliff Burton biography,” McIver said. “We talked about the rollercoaster ride of Metallica’s early career which he and Cliff experienced, from the time that both men joined the band in early 1983 until Cliff’s death three and a half years later. The impact that Burton had on the rest of Metallica, both musically and as an example of how to stick to your principles in the music industry, was profound — and Kirk provided a perspective on that impact which couldn’t have come from anywhere else.”

The book is also available now in good book stores! My suggestion? GET IT!! It’s worth the (not-bad) price … and more …

SONISPHERE OLD SCHOOL

Speaking of Metallica: They’re goin’ “old-school” in their upcoming Sonisphere gig — meaning, you’ll hear the revitalized band tear through their material (including yer favorites) with the same raw, reckless and kick-ass abandon they became famous for!

I mean, check out their set-list for the August 1/2 show in Knebworth (Hertfordshire, England):

Blackened
Creeping Death
Holier Than Thou
Harvester Of Sorrow
One
Broken, Beat And Scarred
Cyanide
Sad But True
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
The Judas Kiss
The Day That Never Comes
Master Of Puppets
Dyers Eve
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman
(TBD)
Stone Cold Crazy
Phantom Lord
Seek and Destroy

Listen … since James, Lars, Kirk and Robert have their chops back, take a definite shot at gettin’ to one of their concerts! You’re in for one helluva serious night of rock!

Okay, yardbirds … I hadta clean this one UP a little before publishing it. Seems like the dude got a bit … er, rowdy … in the original: (HEY! Lemme just look for the word “nice” … lol)

Has (former) Iron Maiden frontman Paul Di’Anno lost his focus? (nope … that ain’t the word. Hang on …)

In a recent Argentinian interview, he compared Maiden bassist Steve Harris to Nazi madman Adolf Hitler, among other things!

Here’s what he said during a press conference (he was in the middle of a solo tour of the South American country).

First, member of the audience asked Di’Anno about his supposed drug use and asked if that was the reason he was no longer with Maiden.

The dude snapped:

“Where the nice do you people get this from? I left Iron Maiden because they were going too heavy metal, and Iron Maiden is a money-making machine, and I don’t give a nice about it. It was not about drugs; it was nothing like that.
“Me and Steve [Harris]… I [wrote] the song ‘Killers’, Steve had [what he thought] were better songs. I thought his songs were nice. Nothing to do with drugs; nothing whatsoever. Check your facts or otherwise this interview is over… I hate that! I nicely hate that!

“And I wrote nicely 20-times better songs than his, but I only got one song on the ‘Killers’ album because it’s Steve’s - he must have this. Nicely Adolf Hitler. I’m not interested. So there you go.
“But you need to take drugs when you’re with Iron Maiden because they’re so nicely boring. And the only drugs were aspirin, because Steve [making hand gesture as if someone is speaking into his ear]… Nicely headache.”

Ummm … just wondering: If he’s so down on the band, why, oh why does his live repertoire consists almost exclusively of songs from the first two Maiden albums?

Just wondering … that’s all …

BEDDING ON A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

I’ve always had an affinity for air beds — especially those where you can actually adjust the level of comfort you want.
And there’s one site where you can find the very best at amazingly restful prices!
Imagine … no more rustling around to try to find a comfy spot on your mattress! Just adjust the comfort level yourself by as many as 50 settings! And you can choose from mattresses that have the skin-friendly aloe vera knit covers, antibacterial bamboo top surface and so many other styles as well!
You’ll also have comparisons, a great FAQ page to answer your questions and more. And all you need to do is click on this link to find the right sleep number bed for you!

Now I’ve heard everything:

A  lullaby version of one of Nirvana’s hits was put on a CD recently so babies could get some sleep (yeah, I think the word’s dichotomous. Or just plain weird).

Smells Like Teen Spirit, along with songs by AC/DC and Queen, have been recreated by musicians using xylophones, wood blocks and glockenspiels.
The Rockabye Baby CD – which also includes versions of U2, Radiohead and Pink Floyd hits – has sold out in baby stores in both the UK and US.
A spokesman told The Sun newspaper: “People seem to love the fact that they’re a quirky take on some of our legendary bands. Dads also seem to particularly enjoy them.”

Which bands or songs would you like to see included on a future Rockabye Baby CD?
Spinal Nap comes to mind, right?  Sleep Dogg, maybe? Yawni?? Metallica’s Enter Sandman? The list could go yawn and yawn …

AHHH, SWEET MEMORY

If you’re like me and spend most of your time in front of a PC (well, it’s where I work!), you know it’s gotta have plenty of memory to keep it running proficiently!
But the challenge is to find just the right memory components for your particular computer.  Not only do they have to fit your needs but be priced to fit your particular budget, too!  And, let’s face it — most stores just don’t have both!
There’s one place I’ve found that, fortunately, does have just the right memory components for you — and at great prices!  Not only that, but they’ll be from the best manufacturers!
By now, you’re probably eager to know “where”?? Well, to find the best and most affordable modules and components to increase your computer memory then just click on the link you just passed!
And, soon, you’ll see your computer give the performance of its life!

UNH-unh … I ain’t about to put Marilyn Manson’s photo on here! So this’ll haveta do. Besides, you’ve probably heard this by now:

A 15-year-old student in Louisiana shot himself in the head at school, just after firing a (fortunately) missed shot at a teacher who refused his order to praise Marilyn Manson.

The student, Justin Doucet, left behind a suicide note in which he explained how he planned to kill others and then himself, according to police.

Doucet walked into his seventh-grade English class shortly before 9 am, screaming curse words and demanding everyone get down, according to students in the class.
Though the students remained seated, Doucet told his teacher to say: “Hail Marilyn Manson.” Luckily, the gun didn’t go off the first time he tried to shoot her.
So he tried a second time — but it buzzed by her head, leaving a hole in the wall and dust sprinkled across the classroom.
Doucet then left the classroom and walked to a nearby bathroom, where a single gunshot was heard.

Now, I said that to say this:

Of ALL figures in what we call ‘rock music’, the worst role model would be Brian Warner — the jerk behind that “Marilyn Manson” getup.

I dunno — maybe the guy doesn’t think he could draw a crowd or get noticed unless he’s made up like a refugee from a funeral home.
Maybe his songs aren’t strong enough — he’s not that good a performer — without his fix of ultra-macabre.

Maybe he’s just afraid …

But, look: when you mess with the brains of a young person in the wrong way, it’s time for you to HANG IT UP, DUDE! Either that, or society (as a whole) will do it for you!

I DARE WARNER TO (a) DITCH HIS GOOFY LOOK, (b) CUT THE SICK CRAP and (c) DO A SERIES OF GIGS WITHOUT IT!!
But they’ve gotta be with decent sets that can be heard and enjoyed by listeners as a whole!

Naaah … he won’t do it.
Like I said: He’s afraid …

Gotta start this round with Brian, Angus and the gang at Friday’s AC/DC gig in Germany.

Now, these guys aren’t exactly known for soft, easy-going music — but I do believe they overdid it with the loudness this time.
Especially when the neighbors complained about the hard-rockin’ noise …

from twelve miles away!!

Sie hörten mich nach rechts, yardbirds! Their Munich concert drew complaints from the fine folks of Unterhaching, about 20 kilometers (okay … twelve miles, give or take a foot) from the scene of the crime … er, show.
(Reckon, when they heard about it, they shoulda borrowed Quiet Riot’s Cum On, Feel The Noize to close the set?)

THE PAT & DEBBIE SHOW

One of the sultriest rockers on the planet, Pat Benatar, will join Blondie (Debbie Harry) on a tour across America this summer that they’ll both headline. Joining them on their run will be up-and-coming “girlgroup” The Donnas.

Debbie Harry said: “Pat Benatar is not only a friend, but a fearless female rocker who has entertained me and her wealth of fans for so many years. This will be a reunion for us both and being able to bring our two shows to fans across the country is very exciting.”
It’ll be sort of a 30th anniversary celebration for Benatar, btw: she got her career start in 1979 with a debut album called In The Heat Of The Night.
Their tour begins in Saratoga, California on July 21. For a list of dates, just click here.

(Oh … didja know that Blondie’s big hit Heart of Glass actually came from a change in lyrics? Yeah … remember the line, Soon found out, he had a heart of glass? Welllll, it was written as Soon found out, he was a pain in the ass. Natch, they hadta change it to get airplay … and the rest is history …)

The Guns ‘n Roses offshoot, Velvet Revolver, is looking for a new front man — and they just may find him in the form of an American Idol contestant!

Their versatile guitarist Slash appeared on the show recentlly to coach contestants for “rock week” – and, apparently, one singer stood out above the rest.

According to columnist Joe Bosso at the scene:
“All performed admirably but nobody seemed to truly hit it out of the ballpark until Adam Lambert came on and lit into an I’m-going-for-it version of the Led Zeppelin classic Whole Lotta Love.“
“Wonder if Slash asked Lambert to come on down for a Velvet Revolver audition? If he didn’t, perhaps Jimmy Page might want to give him a ring. Stranger things have happened.”

It’s interesting to note that, of all the applicants for the VR position, Shooter Jennings — son of late country legend Waylon Jennings and a recording artist in his own right — was seriously considered for the job.
But, since it appears American Idol is the testing ground for a few of today’s stars, it’s very possible that the next Revolver frontman will come from their ranks.
Anything to get away from Simon Cowell, eh??

See ya on the flip side …

This June, Spinal Tap are set to release a new album – the aptly titled ‘Back From The Dead’.
According to reports they’ve just wrapped up recording what will be a double album.

Early reports are saying that the band’s stuck to the songwriting style it knows best, with ‘Short And Sweet’ (a song that tops out at about seven minutes! It’s about Nigel’s four-foot-nine-inch girlfriend) being a highlight.

The release of the album will come out roughly at the same time as the group’s One Night Only World Tour, which will be held this June at Wembley Arena.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??

Supersongbird Susan Boyle has just made singing headlines — but already there’s a push to make a movie about her life!

What’s even stranger is that, while James Cameron (the genius behind the Titanic movie) is quite interested in the proposed project, sultry Mrs. Michael Douglas (aka Catherine Zeta-Jones) wants to play Susan herself!
Now, with no offense to Ms. Boyle (who is, I understand, a sweetheart of a lady), but they … well, they don’t exactly look the same!
To the Relic, it sounds like pure capitalization to make another quick cinematic buck!
(Hey … who’s gonna play Simon Cowell? Jerry Seinfeld?? lol)

WORKIN’ FOR A LIVIN’

There are millions of folks out of work these days due to the economic crisis — and that includes sales people. Now, there are a lot of folks who sorta “thumb their noses” at that profession, but … well, look at it this way: Everything you buy — whether in a superstore, mall or even supermarket got there thanks to a salesman/woman of some type.
But there are many of them looking for a new sales job these days … and, if they go conventionally (ie, door-to-door), they may be looking for a long time.
There’s one spot, though, that’ll help the sales professional not only find employment, but the type that he (or she) can feel comfortable with! They can use the site’s online search engine to find the job and location they prefer, or browse through the most recent job listings! You’ll also be able to get job alerts, industry information and up-to-date articles and news!
So, if you’re a salesperson looking for a new or better job, just click the link you’re about to see to start your sales job search today!

It was a question sent to my email box by some cat named Brian. And it made me think (hmph … not used to doin’ that!):
Mr. Relic, maybe u can answer this. Where has all the heavy metal gone? Theres none on the radio and no bands on the tv any more.

Well, outside your typos, partner, I’d have to say your observations are spot-on! Here’s what I was told by a coupla graveyard-shifters at a New York AOR (album-oriented-rock) FM station:

Heavy metal, as we know it, is mostly over-amped power rock. And most of the metal bands seem to overlap with the same basic sounds. Soon, the “fans” get tired of it and turn to either alternative or just straight-out rock.
Bottom line: Today, they’re lookin’ for more music and less of the earsplitting, indecipherable loudness. In fact, the resurgence of musical rock (classics like The Beatles, new blood like The Fore or Modest Mouse), and quite a few of the reunited pioneers of modern rock, proves it again and again!

The only band that’s proven to be the exception to the metal rule, unquestionally, has been (and is) Metallica! Sure, they can rock harder than anyone, but they also have a softer side. After so many years in the business, they’ve all learned a lot about reaching the fans … and they’re putting what they’ve learned into their sets.

But with all the band reunions coming to fruition now, it’s gonna be interesting to see if any of <em>them are gonna pick up on the sound.

Okay … it’s short, but there’s more to come later this evening, so stay tuned. In the meantime, what do you think about the rise and/or fall of metal? Just lemme know, okay? In the meantime,
I’ll see ya on the flip side …

BAD IS GOOD FOR DOOBIES …

I’ve already toldja about surviving Bad Company members Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke and Mick Ralphs reuniting for a ten-show tour (with The Doobie Brothers) this summer (June 17-July 4.) But what’s really cool is that they’re double-heading with The Doobie Brothers! The band’s re-formed for the tour and they’ll be joinin’ forces with BC on the road from June 17 to July 4. If they’re in your neck-of-the-woods, be sure to make the trip and Listen To The Music!

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL …

Having finished their month-long gig at the Beacon Theater in NYC, they’re hitting the road, The Allman Brothers will be teaming up at various times with the Doobies, The Dead (as in “Grateful” without the “Garcia”) and Widespread Panic. They’ll be tourin’ from May through October.

CSN UPDATE

Crosby Stills & Nash, as I noted earlier, will tour this summer (June 3-July 11.) Now, some of the dates are gonna be benefits for The Guacamole Fund, which helps “nonprofit organizations that work in the public interest, for the environment and conservation, social change, education, safe, clean energy, a non-nuclear future, and peace,” according to their website.

J. GEILS BAND TO TOUR AGAIN??

J. Geils Band played the opening of the House of Blues in their hometown of Boston last month. But now they’ve booked an April 24 show at the Fillmore in Detroit (the city that got ‘em launched nationally.)
They’re not sayin’ it’s the start of something big (like a big reunion tour or anything), but watch this space.  Knowin’ Peter and the guys, anything can happen!

Now, add all that to a Simon & Garfunkel reunion tour of Asia and Australia … and a possible Black Sabbath reunion (with surviving original members!), and it looks like we’re gonna have a rockin’ summer comin’ up!

WHEN THERE’S A NEED …

We have to face facts:  There are millions of people out there who have incontinence problems.  Now, these can be caused by many different factors (like prostates, injured bladders, hysterectomies, etc), and can be short or long term.
If you or a loved one suffers from this problem, no matter what the cause, you know you still need the dependable, sanitary protection against the inevitable leaking or staining that can occur.  Often, you might feel a bit embarrassed by shopping for them publicly, in stores that don’t have the knowledge or understanding to help you.
Well, there is a wonderful place where you can find these items, shop privately for them (ie, from the comfort of your own home), know that they’re the best and most reliable on the market, and even save money in the process!
All you have to do to find the best in incontinence products is click that link you just passed. You’ll be able to choose the brand you trust, at a better price, with free shipping, an AutoShip service for faster delivery, and much more!
Believe me, they’re there to help …

Okay … that’s all for now. See ya on the flip side!

See ya on the flip side ..

No, man, I don’t mean “fired”. I meant, “boot” as in “footwear”!

And not exactly boots, either. In fact, following the success of Green Day in the venture, Metallica and AC/DC are the latest bands to be immortalized in footwear form by clothing giants, Converse.

Others who have their own “big shoes to fill” are The Who, Ozzy Osbourne and, soon, Pink Floyd. What ya see in the upper left are two of the designs for Metallica and AC/DC’s Converse trainers. I’ll letcha know when they’re comin’ out, price, etc. as soon as I do.

AXL: “SLASH IS A CANCER”

And he doesn’t mean astrological sign, people! I mean, we all know Axl Rose has a little venom in him, but … well, read what he said about his former guitarist:

“There is the distinct possibility that having his intentions in regard to me so deeply ingrained and his personal though guarded distaste for much of ‘Appetite’ ( “… for Destruction”, one of their most popular albums) other than his or Duff’s (McKagan) playing, Slash either should not have been in GUNS to begin with or should have left after ‘Lies’.

In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer and better removed, avoided — and the less anyone heard of him or his supporters, the better.”

Ya get the feelin’ that Mr. Rose just doesn’t like Slash much anymore? Geez …

Y’know, we’ve focused so much of our musical thoughts on the US and UK that, on occasion, we forget that other countries know how to rock, too!

And Sweden — known more for the ’70s single-hitters Blue Swede — seriously knows this business (incidentally, there’s a humongous contingent of FORE fans throughout their Scandinavian scenery!)

So this summer’s gonna bring the first Sweden Rock Festival to Sölvesborg from June 3 - 6 and, for all MB readers across the pond, it’s a line-up you won’t wanna miss!

Awwww, rats!!  Billboard’s saying that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are puttin’ their annual Ozzfest festival on hold this year while Ozzy finishes up a new album… and makes appearances on the Osbourne family’s new ‘variety’ TV show.

His follow-up to 2007’s Black Rain should be out sometime this fall, and it’ll be co-produced by Osbourne with Kevin Churko.
Ozzfest’s only gig was in Frisco, Texas, last year, with appearances by Ozzy, Metallica, Serj Tankian, Korn’s Jonathan Davis and Sevendust.

DOWNLOAD UPLOADING!

U2 Doing A Five Night Residency For Letterman 

Billboard also reports that the iconic Irish band U2 will dig in to Ed Sullivan Theatre as musical guests of Late Night With David Letterman … and will be there every night for the week starting March 2nd.

Natch, with Leno going up an hour on NBC and O’Brien taking his place, you probably see why Dave is pulling out these heavy-hitters to offset the expected ratings slump.

Soooo … I’ll see ya on the flip side!

Lemmy Kilmester and his famed heavy-metal trio, Motörhead, is planning a solid tour of the UK this fall!

The band, which was formed almost 34 years ago by the self-proclaimed “gigolo” (you oughtta hear him brag about his … er, “ladies”. Yeah. Sick …), do show an appreciation for early rock in a few of their cover songs — but they’re better noted for original material that covers such topics as war, the battle between good and evil, abuse of power, promiscuous sex, substance abuse, and even their life as rock stars.

Considered one of the most popular of the English “heavy” bands (if you’re a statesider and watched VH1’s recent 50 Top Metal Acts countdown, you’ll know that!), they’ve scheduled a full UK tour for November. So, if you’re in England, here are the venues:

Nov. 11 - Plymouth Pavillion
Nov. 12 - Bristol Colston Hall
Nov. 13 - Newport Centre
Nov. 15 - Swindon Oasis
Nov. 16 - Nottingham Royal Concert Hall
Nov. 17 - Newcastle City Hall
Nov. 19 - Glasgow Academy
Nov. 20 - Leeds Academy
Nov. 21 - Manchester Apollo
Nov. 23 - Cambridge Corn Exchange
Nov. 24 - Southend Cliffs Pavilion
Nov. 25 - Portsmouth Guildhall
Nov. 27 - Bournemouth Solent Hall
Nov. 28 - London Hammersmith Apollo
Nov. 29 - Wolverhampton Civic Hall

Now, I’ve already been asked about their logo.  It’s called Snaggletooth, and was created in 1977 by artist Joe Petagno.

Here’s one of their most famous songs — Ace Of Spades:

Okay … stay tuned, ’cause I’ll have more in 24! ‘Til then, I’ll see ya on the flip side!
