How scary is this Halloweenie seeming to be? It is apparent that all these very spooky things have been happening & it's just an unperfct time for it. HAPPY HALLOWEENIE! I have to mention the scariest thing that is haunting me lately....the Killers are playing Madison Square Garden???????????? Are you kidding me? Are they that big? I don't think so. Too scary.
This will probably go down as the sickest Halloween in history. All because of the new records that are supposedly coming out & also the dumb antics of idiot classic rockers.....
Why anyone cares about it is beyond me:
1. Guns'N'Roses is coming back, we don't even know who's in it anymore but someone still cares. Even though Axl really looks like he's actually wearing a mask of himself. Funny side scary note: Buckethead, their supposed 'new' guitarist has been playing solo shows till Axl decides to get up off his ass & do something......
.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Led Zep has decided to pull a Yes/Journey deal & get someone else to sing for them since they're sick of waiting around for Robert Plant to say yes. He said no, they said screw him. You have to admire their zeal for them to think that there are fans who will actually go see the 2 boys that are left in that band aside from Baby Jason, which is fine, but you wonder.....will they be calling David Coverdale again???? Better someone known than unknown....... ..???????? So what is the point??? Well they won't be playing MSG......
3. It's the 25 Anniversary of Thriller...big deal. I still think of poor Vincent Price, who'll only be known now because of that record. 25 means its the anniversary of 90125 by Yes, & Vacation by the Go-Go-s. Now that's something!
4. Amy Winehouse is still alive.....amazing.
There have been more important things going on. I was having a conversation recently about 'fake albums'. CDs now, but when albums were out there was our share. Fake albums are just ridiculous compilation albums that have all the hits of a band you already have along with a bunch of other songs you don't care about & it's put out by a label that thinks they're bigger than Warner Bros. but who don't even have the decency to spend money on simple packaging let alone the print it's done on. IF ANYTHING THEIR BAD OFFICIAL BOOTLEGS!!!
In the 70s, there was K-Tel who actually came out with some decent compilations back then were amazingly fun. They had whopper covers & were way cheaper than what is available now. Casablanca & Krofft Records were probably the worst companies to release your records on back then. Who knew if the artists recieved any money for their sales. Now there is 'Essential', 'Millennium Collection' & the worst of all 'NOW'. It would be a miracle if the artists knew that these records were out with their music & recieve some compensation, but the fact that all of these compliations have the same design on all of them & the cheapest inserts in them is just low, that I could be making these at home on my computer.
With the exception of the band's picture being different which each band. The Essential series have the black & white cover which should be classic art but just isn't in this case. Just bad awful cheap art. Same story we all know in it & maybe some extra tracks to make you spend money on this crap some of which are actually double cds. A joke for sure. Nonsense.
The Millennium Collection comps are a teeny bit colorful but otherwise the same, except have less songs & less information. Ridiculous. They're cheap but that isn't even worth 2 cents let alone 5 bucks. Then there are these Extended Versions collections which just make me think that these labels that are putting this junk out there actually think we're stupid. Not a spec of info. The songs are supposedly the longer versions of songs we love, which involve either a live version or the long regular version that is already on the album we'd bought last year. Hello? How dumb do you think we are? You're lucky if you find these pieces of crap for 5 dollars. Incredible.
Let us not forget the 'Greatest Album In The World Ever Made' ones, which frankly I'm sick of. They're not so bad, but they consist of the Greatest 'insert here your favorite genres' of music & it's supposed to best the Best Thing Ever & they're 20,000 of them. You wonder what's flooding our landfills? This crap!!!
Now! I don't know how else to describe probably the All-Time Worst Compilation Records in the History of All Music Anywhere in the Entire World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are buying this in droves because????????? a. they don't want to download, b. they don't want to spend $10 grand on the albums they originally came out of, c. they were forced!!!! SICK! The 'NOW' compilations have put shame & absolute embarrassment to the music industry for all time. Should the artists get any royalties is fine but the music isn't even worth the 20 dollars this seems to cost now. Yet it selling like crazy. It's pathetic. This is what everyone has resorted to purchasing to find any form of decent music that's left. Too bad they're not going to find it on there. Congrats to NOW for just being the worst combo ever. The music isn't as annoying as the art
on their covers which displays without any sorrow the giant colorful NOW letters in massive bold print.
The only decent form of compilations that are being released by a decent label that actually cares what it puts out is good old Rhino Records. It shouldn't even be included in this list. But if you want to know about any good band or any good music then get anything on Rhino. Thank GOd there's still something good left in this world.
Who knew art could be this bad. But this is the scariest time music has seen as of late. Hopefully this will all disappear soon & will go back to a normal way of beying cool records. The best thing: Vinyl is back. Very cool....but the Killers are still playing MSG, yuk!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!!!!
LUV, ROZZZZZZZZZZ
