Sweet Child o’Mine on Hip-Hop

Posted in Rock Gods on February 26th, 2009

I found this song a lot of people were asking me about: The intro from Guns n’Roses’ Sweet Child o’Mine is sampled in a song on the Fort Minor mixtape, titled “S.C.O.M.”(Sweet Child o’ Mine).
Fort Minor is the hip hop music side project of Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park vocalist).
I can’t say I really like it…my first reaction when I heard it was: “Whaaat?!” but after I heard the instrumental only version I thought this song is not such a bad idea.

Sweet Dreams…

Posted in Rock Gods on February 5th, 2009

The funniest thing happened a couple of nights ago.
I don’t think I’m crazy…I really don’t! It took me a couple of days to analize this, I had doubts about writing this post, but here it is :D
I don’t know how many people experienced this but, it happened to me :D
I dreamt of a song dear world, :D video, lyrics and everything :D A song I had almost forgotten, a song that, as I recall, I last listened to in 2003 :)
And it kept playing over…and over…
I woke up with a smile on my face, humming this song :)

P.S. The funniest part is…I can’t say I was obsessed with it at the time, I just thought it was an “ok” song. Period.

The number one song in my playlist this week-end is Probot – Shake Your Blood.

The video for the lead single, “Shake Your Blood,” features an appearance by 66 women from the SuicideGirls adult entertainment website. In the video, the band is represented with Dave Grohl (former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters lead-singer) on drums, Lemmy (Motorhead) on lead vocals and bass, and Wino (who sang on the Probot track “The Emerald Law”) on lead guitar. The video of “Shake Your Blood” is ranking #2 in the list of the best metal videos of the new millennium in a vote carried out by MTV2.
