Scott Stapp and Music’s Fifteen Greatest Man Chests

Vulture (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009

This week, amid some hullabaloo over whether they’re actually “ good ,” Creed released an album. More significant to us was the return of singer Scott Stapp and his remarkable chest. In baring his Christian nipples, Stapp carries on a long tradition in music, one not defined by the strategic placement of gym socks, but the manifold expressions of strength, vulnerability, and the...

A whole new generation gives in to the vampire's tempting bite

Deni Kirkova (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009

This is why I love vampires: they are sensual yet evil; expressive, charismatic forbidden fruit. It seems the ultimate sin to give in to their seduction. They are still rock n' roll, and have been since the '80s. I'm loving the very recent vampire revival - Buffy did it for the 90s, True Blood and Twilight are doing it for the late 00s. Vampires are like the bad-boy Scorpions from Grease but more nonchalant....

Forgotten Vinyl #32: Doors: LA Woman

Haystak Music (Free subscription) | 10/27/2009

L.A. Woman is the sixth and last studio album that the American rock band The Doors recorded with lead singer Jim Morrison, who died in July 1971. The album's style is arguably the most blues rock -oriented of the band's catalog. Following the departure of their record producer Paul A. Rothchild (who dismissed the group's differing style as "cocktail music") around November 1970, the Doors...

London Film Festival review - When You're Strange

Exploding Celluloid Inevitable (Free subscription) | 10/25/2009

One’s likely enjoyment of a music documentary is proportional to one’s liking of the music in question, however good the documentary is. Therefore I love Fearless Freaks (the Flaming Lips documentary), but hate No Direction Home (even with Martin Scorsese directing, for me Bob Dylan is a jerk with a hideous singing voice). A film about the Doors was always going to appeal to me, even just...

The 70s: Bring Out Your Dead, Part I

Erik's Choice (Free subscription) | 10/24/2009

Some of those who died in the early 1970s but still reverberate: Jimi Hendrix (11/27/1942-9/19/1970). We haven't see nor heard anything quite like him since, have we? Playing guitar or otherwise. Janis Joplin (1/19/1943-10/4/1970). Ditto Hendrix for her. Of women, the only singer I can think of who seems as intense, since Joplin's death, is Amy Winehouse . Charles "Sonny" Liston (ca.5/8/1932-12/30/1970)....

By: David SchultzI am stymied by which of these story puzzles me the most.Surely, you've come across the story associated with the picture on the left. In 1997, rock historian Brett Meisner posed for a snapshot at Pere Lachaise cemetery and the spirit, or ghost if you will, of its most famous resident, Doors lead singer Jim Morrison, decided to make an appearance.

Take it Away

Word Magazine blogs (Free subscription) | 10/18/2009

I was digging around in a cardboard box of dusty tapes the other day when Wings’ Back to the Egg caught my eye. Stuck it in the old cassette deck and was momentarily transported back to 1979. So far so good. The tranquil mood turned sour, however, somewhere around the midpoint of ‘Again and Again’, when Denny Laine sluggishly implores his lead guitarist to “Take it…Away”...

This story is straight-up stupid, even by British tabloid standards. Here's a photo of rock historian Brett Meisner standing beside Jim Morrison's grave in the Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris in 1997. According to legend, Meisner didn't look at the photo until five years later when he got the shock of his life – in the washed-out murk of the photo, the ghostly image of the Doors singer seems...
