My Concert Ticket Stubs - Nirvana – Maple Leaf Gardens – 1993

   Who could have known that four and a half months Kurt would be dead and Nirvana along with him, but seeing Nirvana live is one of my top 10 concerts of all-time. We didn't have the greatest seats (I remember us jumping down a few sections) but we were there and at the time they were still the biggest band in the world, so even as cheesy as it sounds we were all watching music history. Interesting note; by this time they had stopped playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" live, so when it was all over the ones that went just for that one song were all pissed off, but I remember thinking how very cool it was that they didn't play it....how Punk.

   Thanks to our good friend YouTube I found the complete show (well 99% complete).

Elton John and Queens Of The Stone Age ? Why Not

   What's going on? Has the music industry always been like this or is it just getting weirder as the years go on (or maybe it's just me), anyways here is today's "different" music news.

   So Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters..you know the guy) is filling in for Chelsea Handler this week on the late-night talk show Chelsea Lately. Last night he had on as a guest Sir Elton John ("Rocket Man", "The Bitch Is Back","I'm Still Standing"...yeah him) , so during the conversation Grohl says "Recently, Elton and I recorded something together. Something that people wouldn't imagine the two of us doing together," , then Elton adds "I was in Vegas and I flew back to LA and Engelbert Humperdinck had written me a very sweet letter and asked me to sing a duet with him. He is part of my history and I couldn't say no so I went and recorded a song with him. Then I drove three blocks and went from Engelbert to Queens Of The Stone Age, which was a bit of a mindfuck."

 With Trent Reznor also rumored to be guesting on the record this should be quite the listen.

Soundgarden debut new video 'By Crooked Steps' directed by Dave Grohl

    Here's the latest video from Soundgarden called 'By Crooked Steps', the single comes from their album 'King Animal' which came out last November. The video was directed by Dave Grohl. He's got the Soundgarden guys tooling around LA on Segways while cops chase them. At the very end of the video the one cop turns out to be Joel Zimmerman AKA Deadmau5…the whole thing is pretty silly but I think that was the point of it.
