Red Hot Chili Peppers Deliver "Brendan's Death Song" Video

Wes — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 11:53:10 +0000

There are some songs that just take you to a different place when you hear them. "Brendan's Death Song" is one of those songs for me. This is just an epic tune. The fact that it starts slow ALMOST makes you forget that the jam in the middle is absolutely epic. Flea is just tearing it up. There's only one downside to the video. I'll tell you about it after the break.

Tom Petty Plus Eddie Vedder Equals Magic

Wes — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:32:03 +0000

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were one of my first favorite bands. By "favorite' I mean a band that I followed all through their career, saw multiple times in concert, bought their stuff and more. For some reason, whether the current trend was rock, new wave or even metal, there always seemed to be room for Tom Petty. Now, when grunge got big, I wasn't the biggest Nirvana fan, instead I gravitated towards Pearl Jam. Tom Petty has got a big grumpy in his old age, and Pearl Jam's output tends to be spotted, but live both bands, and both band leaders are undeniable. Check out some bad-ass jams after the jump.

Wes — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 14:09:31 +0000

Despite having that 'pop' edge to a lot of their punk, the Offspring haven't really crossed over to Top 40 radio. Now, in case you don't know, Top 40 is where artists GET PAID. I can see the Offspring getting paid with this song, the question is, will us rockers, who are currently enjoying "Days Go By" still accept the Offspring after this tune? More after the jump.

The stickman, born James Sullivan, died at the age of 28, due to an accidental overdose of a mixture of prescription drugs.
