as for mike v. -- used to be one of my favorite skaters. definitely had tons of style and did things his own way, but i'm pretty sure he's a terrible singer.

They became way too rock after the Damaged record.

I can't say that I've ever heard of the Alpine Arena in Wilkinsburg. I'm sure the Dolls scored before their set:

I can't find much on the arena, but it looks like they did a show with Mott The Hopple on that day. King Crimson/Foghat played there a few months earlier and Mountain played there next year

Genesis also played there on April 13, 1973

Around that same time, the Velvet Underground played a show in the arena.

It looks like it also might have done business as Alpine Ice Chalet

A teaser from the new King Crimson record:

I think it's a practice tape, to be honest.

Interesting stuff. Paul Axendader played hockey at the Alpine Arena:

Those of you who laced them up at Alpine Arena or remember that the current food court at the Monroeville Mall used to be an ice rink will appreciate how amazing it is that Pittsburgh is actually a legitimate hockey town.

Geezer would probably know about this place. Paging Geezer.

No plans for new record but who knows. That's from their first practice session for the upcoming tour. Not sure I like the 3 drummer setup.

I heard Under Pressure on the way to work today and thought how awesome it would be to hear Hetfield and Anselmo do a version.

I heard her speak once. She is one crazy individual.

Id dig this, but id want the mid 90s Anselmo and Hetfield. I say that cause Anselmo's voice is kinda shot as is Hetfield's.

Agreed. I would think Anselmo would do the Freddie Mercury part and Hetfield would do Bowie.

UNDAH PRESSHAH!!!

I had forgotten that Jimmy Page was readying remastered (and expanded) versions of the Led Zeppelin catalog. The first three albums dropped in June, and despite owning a couple of different editions of them, I repurchased them.

Needless to say, they sound really good, even in 320/MP3. The extras are instrumental backing tracks, live versions/concerts, and some new music.

I found these re-releases almost as good as the Beatles remasters in 2009.

Speaking of the Beatles, it will be 50 years since Hard Day's Night was released. Giles Martin, son of Sir George Martin, reworked the sound for its re-release: http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news ... n-20140703" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also, listen to Randy Bachman deconstruct the most familiar opening chord in rock history:

Heres a link to the original 1983 show where Prince recorded the album version of Purple Rain, complete with commentary.

Not one mention of 311 on page 311. Weak...

(ellipses brought to you by LITT)

[FreeCandy44]

Maybe people arent Down and are All Mixed Up about how they feel about 311?
