Def Leppard, originally from Sheffield, first came together in 1977 and were hugely successful in the 1980’s selling over 65 million albums (Pyromania and Hysteria) worldwide.
Whitesnake, also a British, multi million album selling heavy metal band, are celebrating 30 years on the road with front man David Coverdale (the only remaining member from the original line up). Their 2008 Album, ‘Good To Be Bad’ is their first in 10 years.

A Thank you note for Metallica who don’t like bloggers who reviews previews about their upcoming album

A Thank You Note For Metallica
June 11th, 2008 at 19:30 by Ian Dransfield
Being Metallica must be great - you get to be in a metal band for 20-odd years, you get lots of money, you get to tour the world many times over and you get legions of devoted fans.
Oh, and you get to be complete and total prannocks about seemingly everything involving the internet, yet still somehow manage to maintain the credibility that would clearly be destroyed if you were any other musical act in the world. Things, they are strange.
For this time Metallica have decided that allowing people they have invited to listen to their new music to review it would be something of a cardinal sin. Possibly on a par with the holocaust, but we’re still waiting for a quote on that one.
It all began a few days ago when the band invited a number of music journalists to hear their new material, somewhere in London. These critics gorged their aural senses with the gravelly-voiced delights of James Hetfield and co. and returned to their respective abodes, fresh in the knowledge that they could freely impart their newfound wisdom to the fans of the world.
Unfortunately, these journos seemed to forget that to satiate the hunger of these waiting Metallica fans they would have to use the tool most hated by the band: the internet. In using this evil device - which was probably crafted by Satan no less - the information pertaining to the new album was uploaded onto a few blogs.
Good God, what were they thinking?!
It didn’t take too long for Metallica to get wind of this though, and soon enough they were out bullying the sites where reviews were hosted, forcing them to withdraw the offending articles.
Just as with the horror that was Napster and its ridiculous idea of a future where digital distribution could thrive, the tiny, underprivileged band managed to safeguard their music and their reputation once more.
So thank you, Metallica. Thank you for being so utterly, completely and totally insane. Thank you for hating technology, discouraging innovation and stamping down on all those far smaller than you. It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that you’re still a bunch of tossers.

Review: Is this The Raconteurs tour better than the White Stripes?

Review: Is this The Raconteurs tour better than the White Stripes?
The air was heavy with expectation when I arrived at the Kool Haus on Thursday night. There was just one person everyone wanted to see. The man, the myth, the legend, White Stripes frontman Jack White was in town with his so-called "side-project," The Raconteurs who are more creative, more talented and musically superior side-project. I know White Stripes fans may be cursing me right about now, but if The Raconteurs’ albums didn’t convince you, Thursday night’s rock-solid performance would have.
When White finally came on stage around 9:30 p.m. he didn’t even pause to acknowledge the ecstatic applause from the audience. He just grabbed his guitar and the band launched immediately into "Consoler Of The Lonely," the title track on the band’s latest record. Band leader Brendan Benson immediately stole the show. He easily held his own against White’s immense guitar talents, delivered pitch-perfect vocals and maintained all the enjoyable emotionality evident on Consolers.
While he sang "Consoler Of The Lonely," Benson not only sounded bored as he crooned the climactic, "and I’m bored to tears…," but also sounded really pissed about it. We’re talking in the skilled acting way, not the genuinely lame way.
Meanwhile, White cavorted around the stage in between vocals, and stomped and careened along with his scathing guitar work. He looked like he just came from auditioning for an Edward Scissorhands sequel In his signature black T-shirt and pale, pale skin. And from the way he shredded his guitar over the course of the night, he may as well have had knives for fingers. The thing was practically bleeding by the time he finished with it.
The band stuck to their new material for the first half of the set. White took over the vocals for "Hold Up," before he handed the reins back to Benson for the country/blues masterpiece "The Switch And The Spur," which can’t be fully appreciated until you’ve seen it live.
One of the evening’s highlights was when White laid down his guitar and moved to the keyboard for "You Don’t Understand Me" and proved he’s no one-instrument wonder. Even the drunken frat guys behind me were moved by his playing. "Jack White is just SO fucking cool!" one exclaimed, and his buddy offered "No one else can play that good and still be the sickest cat in town." Sick, indeed.
White also worked several different microphones and a scratch table to create the interesting distortion and layering effects that make the band’s sound so unique.
Although the crowd responded enthusiastically to every song, Benson said little and White didn’t speak at all until a few songs later, when he finally greeted the crowd with the cheery couplet "We don’t scare easily, we’re The Raconteurs from Nashville, Tennessee," before launching into "Level," from 2006’s Broken Boy Soldiers.
The band calmed things down a bit with another Soldiers track, the frustrated love song "Together," before bringing the energy back up with a frenetic version of "Broken Boy Soldier."
Benson and White seem most at home when they come together on stage, dueling guitars style, goading each other on to more raw and intricate playing. After a crowd-pleasing rendition of "Steady As She Goes," they seemed to create a near five-minute bridge of raw rock noise out of thin air, which eventually descended into early-blues homage "Blue Veins." This was by far the evening’s high point. The band seemed content to continue playing the track all night, and fleshed it out with solos and extended bridges that floored the crowd.
While everyone seemed to be there for White, by the end of the night it was impossible to only focus on him after seeing all the talent the band offer. As leader, Benson provides a perfect foil to White’s rock star notoriety and stage antics. Benson stood at the microphone, slightly stooped over his low-slung guitar, and shook his head in time to the music. It contrasted perfectly with White’s stage posturing and ultimately begged the question: Who’s the sickest cat in town now?

Day Job Killer?

Day Job Killer?
By Gregory Shyne
Dear Marketer,
About The Author…
Day Job Killer was created by Chris McNeeney. This is Chris’ 3rd release in regards to affiliate marketing products. The predecessors of this guide are "AdWords Miracle", which was released in April of 2006 and "Affiliate Profect X", which was released in October of 2006. These products changed the world of internet marketing by leveling the playing field and allowing the "Average Joe" to compete with the "Gurus".
The "Meat & Potatoes" of the Day Job Killer… Does the it really hold up to it’s much hyped name? Let’s examine a little further and I will give an honest and unbiased review of this "Day Job Killer"
The Day Job Killer is a guide that focuses largely on the marketing strategy of "direct linking". Direct linking is basically the promotion of affiliate products by bidding on keywords words that send the customer directly to an "affiliate link" instead of a landing page, etc. Since 2006, Google has made new rules and regulations that have made it difficult to promote affiliate products using this method. However, the Day Job Killer introduced new strategies and techniques bring new life to direct linking.
This Ebook was designed for marketers who have lost money on AdWords, or failed in your efforts to sell products through ClickBank, Commission Junction, etc. This guide provides alternatives and possible solutions to these problems. These strategies worked on the twelve affiliates Chris tested it on to "kill" their day jobs, so there is SOME proof that these methods do actually work. But nothing in business is ever "100 % guaranteed" to work for just anyone. So you should really be cautious of any product or system that claims to do so.
The Day Job Killer includes techniques like:
Campaign Nuking- this method shows how to duplicate the AdWords campaigns any successful advertiser and optimize it to make it even more profitable.
Direct Linking on Crack- like I stated previously, this method gives a new life to the direct linking A.K.A. "Google Cash" method of advertising. This is a great solution for the for "lazy" affiliate marketers. In my opinion, this is probably the most potent and easily implemented technique in the guide. Everything is explained in step-by-step detail.
The leveler — how to compete with the gurus, and copy them so that you can build your own laser-targeted list of buyers and make at least $100 per day from a $10 ad spend. Each technique in the Day Job Killer includes real life examples that have been tested on "average" affiliates by Chris personally.
So there you have it… and honest review of the Day Job Killerguide.
Best Regards,
Greg Shyne
