Jason Keill of Legacy of Disorder Picks the Top Five Neck-Destroying Songs

Headbanging is an integral part of metal. But when overdone, headbanging can become neck-breaking. Legacy of Disorder’s new album, Last Man Standing, has plenty of riffs that could prove spine-damaging so we asked bassist Jason Keill what his favorite neck-destroying songs are. Listen at your own risk.

1. Slayer, “Raining Blood” “Last time I saw these guys, I was off my face drunk, which meant that there were no reservations. Violent neck abuse ensued for at least half of their set. The rest of the time was spent drinking. Slayer played ‘Raining Blood’ and I just went ape shit. A great show from what I could remember. I had whiplash for about a week or so after that effort.”

2. Hatebreed, “Destroy Everything” “Yes, this song destroyed every tendon and muscle in my neck when I first wrapped my ears around this little ripper live. Had some rib damage going on as well but I didn’t care. Hatebreed is a big set of hairy titanium gorilla testes and you don’t stop until the gorilla stops.”

3. Sepultura, “Arise” “I have never had the pleasure of seeing this song live, but as a teenager, frantic air guitaring and headbanging to ‘Arise’ with my Walkman jammed in my ears was the call most days. I had to buy the tape two or three times as I worn them out.”

4. Pantera, “Strength Beyond Strength” “Pantera have been a staple of my music-listening since hair started to grace my nether regions. Too many songs to choose from these guys but ‘Strength Beyond Strength’ from Far Beyond Driven is a great introduction to the album, and it’s balls to the wall from start to finish. Great whiplash causing properties.”

5. Lamb of God, “Blood of the Scribe” “Quite a recent band for me but a lot of the hooks that Lamb of God have are crushing. Extremely catchy indeed. I keep going back to this song when I’m partying to loosen my vertebrae, and suffer the consequences later.

new album The Rolling Stones - GRRR!

As a 50th-anniversary souvenir, the Stones have assembled a three-disc, 50-track compilation that is the best and most comprehensive collection of the band's high points available. "Doom and Gloom," one of two new songs here, is the Stones at their best – nasty, funny, sexy and rocking hard. As for the rest, it's impossible to overstate the importance of these songs. The Stones' obsession with American blues and R&B ("Time Is on My Side," "Little Red Rooster") transforms into a sexually charged class critique ("19th Nervous Breakdown"). Finally, the indelible guitar statements, from "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" to "Start Me Up," are inextricable from the very idea of rock & roll. The third disc skims great moments like "Mixed Emotions" from the top of the band's underrated post-1989 material. Is GRRR!perfect? No. But as the band once said: You get what you need.

Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix Estates Working on Holograms

Elvis, Marilyn Monroe also receiving 3D treatment

 

The estates of Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix may stage future holographic live performances, Billboard reports.

"We're trying to get to a point where 3-D characters will walk around," Jeff Jampol, who manages both artists' estates, told Billboard. "Hopefully, 'Jim Morrison' will be able to walk right up to you, look you in the eye, sing right at you and then turn around and walk away."

Jampol–who also handles the estates of Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Peter Tosh and Rick James–suggested that a 3D hologram would only be part of this proposed new multimedia concert experience. The show could also include walls pixelated like giant TV screens, along with the use of lasers, lights, high-quality audio and synchronized sound vibrations.

Similarly, Janie Hendrix, the sister of the late guitar god and President/CEO of Experience Hendrix, revealed that she has been working for a year with the London-based Musion Systems to develop a virtual Jimi Hendrix. "For us, of course, it's about keeping Jimi authentically correct," she said. "There are no absolutes at this point."
Some rock holograms are already in motion. Last week, Core Media Group announced that they'd struck an exclusive deal with Digital Domain Media Group–the company that kickstarted everything with the Tupac hologram at this year's Coachella–to develop an Elvis hologram.
"This is not repurposing old footage that the world has already seen," Digital Domain chief creative officer Ed Ulbrich told Billboard of the King of Rock's hologram, which is in the early stages of development and expected to cost millions. "We're making totally original and exclusive performances so that fans can have new experiences."
Holograms are extending to silver screen icons, too. Plans are reportedly underway for a virtual Marilyn Monroe concert to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her death; however, the group responsible, Digicon Media, told the Hollywood Reporter that they are not working with the Monroe estate. As they explained, Digicon already owns certain copyrights to Monroe's image, including her computer-generated persona. The Monroe estate, as Billboard.biz points out, is threatening legal action.

new album Green Day - ¡Dos!

 The second installment in Green Day's ambitious trilogy of albums opens with "See You Tonight," a bare, ragged benediction where Everly Brothers harmonies mask stalker-y undercurrents, and puppy love might turn nasty if you don't text back soon. Like ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! is full of these moments, where the band follows lineal threads from Dookie-era punk into all manner of overheated angst – nervy-Jam mod soul on "Stray Heart," Who-mad maximum R&B on "Wow! That's Loud," even mascara-streaked soul balladry on the album-closing "Amy," where Billie Joe Armstrong makes like the skate-park Sam Cooke.

Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool harness the sound of immolating, teenage-wasteland lust for an album with a distinct sense of life coming off the rails: "I can't stand for fallin' down/I'm too sick to throw up," Armstrong sings against a Wipers-like downstroke riff on "Lazy Bones." He went to rehab in September. Yet while you can read all the pathos you want into "Ashley," a plea for a meth-addicted friend that comes on like a runaway ambulance, the angst here is as archetypal as it is personal. At times, it's just as election year urgent as American Idiot, despite being packaged as a batch of shit-hot punk purges with titles like "Fuck Time" rather than a grand rock opera. "I'll trade you blood for dirty cash," Armstrong promises on "Stop When the Red Lights Flash." In any guise, dude channels the voice of America.

Mick Jagger: One Direction Remind Me of the Rolling Stones

'I remember feeling that same uncomfortable feeling'

If One Direction ever feel a bit worn out by their hoards of young screaming fans, Mick Jagger can relate. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday before the premiere of the film Crossfire Hurricane, the rock veteran said that the boy-band reminds him of the Rolling Stones in their early days.

"I watched a concert of One Direction on the TV the other night, you know just to check [it] out," Jagger said. "It reminded me very much of our early concerts, when we were pushed around among the audience and we would kind of float. [T]hey were like, floating above the audience, and they looked like, really distinctly uncomfortable.

 "I remember feeling that same uncomfortable feeling of being pushed around in this very weird place about 50 years ago," he said. "It was a very funny moment, because it was very similar to the things we’ve been through."

Ronnie Wood also spoke of his friendship with Harry Styles and company, who are about to star in their own 3-D concert movie:

"I remember them before they made it and I said, 'come on stick with it boys, you can do it,'" Wood said. "They still want me to come and jam with them I said, 'yeah, I’ll come and play with you anytime.'"

Crossfire Hurricane, the retrospective documentary that aired on HBO last week, offers a look back at the Rolling Stones in those early days, as the band embarks on their 50th anniversary tour.

Ice Choir

Kurt Feldman is one talented dude. You may know him as the drummer of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, but he was also the mastermind behind the exceptional and gone-too-soon 8-bit-dream-gaze band, Depreciation Guild. And now, his latest (one man) band to conquer pop is called Ice Choir. Man, I love Ice Choir. They're just going '80s light station FM pop all the way with no regrets and no turning back. This is Tears for Fears "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" meets Spandau Ballet's "True" meets George Michael's "Careless Whisper" meets The Cars "Drive" all the way.

And those are four amazing songs. Ok, the "Careless Whisper" saxophone solos fall into what I call "a grey area," but otherwise they're all pretty much pop perfection.

Start with Ice Choir's song "Teletrips" and tell me you aren't hearing what I'm hearing. And what are we both hearing again? Oh, that's right: the soft pop perfection of 1983-1985. Get the Ice Choir's full-length debut on Underwater Peoples (one of our very favorite labels).

Linkin Park Debut New Song, “Lies Greed Misery”

Linkin Park have just unveiled the second single for their upcoming fifth studio album, Living Things. Listen to “Lies Greed Misery” below.
In a recent interview, frontman Mike Shinoda state that Living Things would be a far more personal album than other recent efforts. “On the last few records we’ve had an interest in global issues and social issues and those things are still around,” he said, “there are certainly traces of them, but this record is far more personal.”
Living Things is due out June 26.

Electric Youth

Toronto retro '80s synth-pop duo Electric Youth is singer Bronwyn Griffin and producer Austin Garrick. They take their name from a Debbie Gibson album (!) and their most famous song is "A Real Hero." That was the perfect pop collaboration with College that ultimately made it onto the "Drive" soundtrack (the final scene, no less! you know, that super crucial part when Gosling is getting all weak and he shuts his eyes and... well, never mind since I forgot to start this with "spoiler alert").

Anyway, "A Real Hero" is one of the best pop songs of the last five years. That's not hyperbole; that's truth. And yes, Electric Youth have a lot of other super solid jams besides that one. You could spend hours and hours on their SoundCloud page listening to all the good stuff they've done. I know because I've done it and I suggest you do it too... if you like good retro '80s synth-pop. But you do. What kind of a monster doesn't like good synth-pop?!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to recreate that final scene in "Drive" in this parking lot down the street. BTW, does anyone know if ketchup can pass for blood? How about Hawaiian Punch? In my refrigerator I have ketchup and I have Hawaiian punch. Hopefully one of them will make the grade.
