I'm not much into country music... But when I watched this video in the bar with a 10,000 watt stereo system, it gave me goosebumps (or was it the Jack Daniels?) Anyway - Check out "Tornado" by Little Big Town !!!

Babes Washing Cars With No Hands

Slayer up-date

In the days since the death of Slayer's Jeff Hanneman, many speculated that it was a 2011 spider bite and the related necrotizing fasciitis, but it turns out that it was actually cirrhosis of the liver. 

The revelation came in a posting on the band's official website: 

We've just learned that the official cause of Jeff's death was alcohol related cirrhosis. While he had his health struggles over the years, including the recent Necrotizing fasciitis infection that devastated his well-being, Jeff and those close to him were not aware of the true extent of his liver condition until the last days of his life. Contrary to some reports, Jeff was not on a transplant list at the time of his passing, or at any time prior to that. In fact, by all accounts, it appeared that he had been improving – he was excited and looking forward to working on a new record.

Robert Plant plays Black Dog

Guns N' Roses up-date

Guns N' Roses are rumoured to be releasing a brand new album next year. According to GN'R guitarist Richard Fortus the follow-up to 2008's 'Chinese Democracy' is mostly finished, but probably won't be released until 2014, writes Vintage Vinyl News. 'Chinese Democracy' was the band's sixth album and is notorious for being the most expensive album ever produced, coming it at over $13 million. 15 years passed between the release of GN'R '93 studio album "The Spaghetti Incident" and the eventual release of 'Chinese Democracy'... that took 10 years to record.
