Deftones!! Deftones pictures and some info etc
The photo is a pic of the Deftones as a group! Chino MorenoÃ‚Â¹s "Team Sleep" project has been buzzed about since he started working on it nearly a year ago. Chino, along with childhood buddy Todd Wilkenson and good friend DJ Crook, spent this Spring holed up in a Seattle studio with producer Terry Date (Deftones) recording the CD for release on the Maverick label in early 2002. DeftonesÃ‚Â¹ Abe Cunningham, Stephan Carpenter, and Frank Delgado make guest appearances on the as yet untitled CD. "ItÃ‚Â¹s a very moody record, beat oriented," explains Moreno, who played guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums on the album. "Each song has a different theme, a different sound, thereÃ‚Â¹s a lot of fantasy going on, and instead of writing songs about myself or my life, IÃ‚Â¹ve just let my imagination go crazy."
System of a down "Toxicity" is the new single from System of a Down "Toxicity is the most ambitious record yet to emerge from the nu metal scene. This is the sound of now." In a year filled with screaming nu-metal acts, this band screams loudest and most eloquently. Front man Serj Tankian has a soaring voice, but as he demonstrates on stand-outs Chop Suey! and Forest, he knows how to modulate, sounding like an angry cantor one moment and a choir boy the next. Guitarist Daron Malakian backs it all up with a fierce wall of fuzz." "their second album rocks - nowhere more so than on "Chop Suey!", one of the best songs of this or any other year.
	Labor Day weekend Sept. 3rd, 2001 KROQ FREE SHOW FEATURING SYSTEM OF A DOWN 3,000-4,000 people were expected to attend this free Kroq show featuring System and 10,000 showed up. The venue and security were not prepared adequately for such a show of heads. Barricades came down early before the band was scheduled to play. The streets were overwhelmed with bodies outside of the venue, and got closed off. The police got weary of the situation and along with the Fire Marshal called off the show before the band was scheduled to take the stage at 5:00pm. The band was ready to play the show and even ceded to cutting their set list short, despite looming threats of arrests of band members and danger to their lives. THE POLICE WOULD NOT HAVE IT! SYSTEM OF A DOWN NEVER CANCELLED THE SHOW! There were so many people there that only a part of them could even actually view the stage. It was FEARed that had the band set foot on stage, people would push, shove, and possibly trample others to get a visual fix on the band. At that point, the barricades had all come down, and the band could not safely make it to the stage. The police may have FEARed that had the band announced that the show was being cancelled by LAPD, that it would have lead to anger and hostility against their presence. HOWEVER, NOBODY GOT ON STAGE AND ANNOUNCED WHAT WAS GOING ON. This left everyone to assume everything and anything, and some people out of frustration started to loot, fight, etc. My belief is that violence in all forms is a low-level human energy output, and undermines our existence as beings of light. MOST SYSTEM FANS WERE APPALLED BY ALL THESE ACTIVITIES AND IMMEDIATELY FLED THE SCENE. The fleeing of this mass of people may have in turn caused FEAR in the police, seeing groups of people running, etc. Let's not underestimate the amount of fear created by the visible police presence, not in casual police uniform, but in riot gear and horses, reminding some of ancient feudal tactics. It is this CIRCLE OF FEAR that prevailed yesterday in Hollywood, much to the band's regret.
Placebo! Placebo made their recording debut with Bruise Pristine, released on the Fierce Panda indie label in 1995. The band were also constantly on the road, playing club gigs and support spots in order to properly hone their music. Indeed, at the end of the first year Placebo had their first taste of tangible success when Come Home a single recorded for the Deceptive label, reached number three in the indie chart.......
	............. The band were clearly visible throughout much of the year, headlining their own UK tour, culminating with a show at London's Brixton Academy - before supporting U2 on many of the Popmart European dates.Placebo were also invited by executive producer Michael Stipe to play parts alongside Ewan McGregor and Eddie Izzard in the forthcoming film Velvet Goldmine, due out to be released in the autumn of 1998.
Snake River Conspiracy! Snake River Conspiracy Vulcan (morpheus) That's how this stomping, swirling, clanging, roaring, superbly overproduced and frankly mental masterpiece of slickly ultra-discordant disco studio-punka starts and, just in case you've not quite grasped the track's subject matter, the lady singer screams again and again and again very loudly and at regular intervals. Brilliant! Imagine, if you will, Ginger from Garbage in a kick-boxing grudge match to the death with mock-cokernee Shouty Woman out of Republica. With Atari Teenage Riot's Alec Emprie as referee. This is what Indie Spice would sound like in a perfect world. Hell, this is what Bernard Butler would sound like if he wasn't just another scruffy, gurly-haired, po-faced, lemon-sucking muso bore with an overblown reputation and an artistically crippling Beatles fixation.......
	.................... Rock Sound - November 1999/Issue 8 Snake River Conspiracy 'Vulcan' (Morpheus) Another record name-checking a character from sci-fi, but this is much better: Heavy and intimate, it kicks in like Whale covering Curve, which in anyone's book has to at least be an interesting proposition. This is much more angry with the energy of a two-year old. Tiger. It gets you in a death grip (I promised myself I wouldn't say that) Real Overdose - Autumn 99 issue Snake Rive Conspiracy 'Vulcan' CD EP (Morpheus) .... Debut single from this San Fran duo, a screaming and toilet-mouthed gal called Tobey and producer guy Jason (who was also in THIRD EYE BLIND) and 'Vulcan Mind Meld' is like what we kinda hoped GARBAGE might've become a few years ago, screaming and seriously damaged, kind of industrial-pop-rock w/ added studio fuckery and a real intense feel. 'She Said, She Said' has more of a 60's psychedelic mushroomy LSD vibe to it, like if WIND IN THE WILLOWS had gotten better drugs and had somebody like George Martin producing them, and it's a cool and snappy tune, while finally 'Coke & Vaseline' brings to mind some of Tobey's main influences (BERLIN, Hunter-period BLONDIE), w/ Jason up to all kinds of no good behind the desk. Didn't think we'd be into this but we surely are, it fucks w/ notions of order and steers ya sinisterly into a whole new and delightful realm of weirdom. Zonked, man. - Tard.

	........... In 1995, which marked the departure of original bassist Mitch Porter and his replacement by Rick Burch, Jimmy Eat World signed a major-label deal and began recording Static Prevails, issued in 1996. Critics and college radio programmers noted the intriguing range of the disc, introduced by the infectious, up-tempo opener "Thinking, That's All" and cemented with the subdued finale "Anderson Mesa." Despite their status as a major-label band, however, Adkins, guitarist-singer Tom Linton, Burch and Lind handled the most crucial artist-development chores on their own. Continuing to slog it out on the road, they still managed to record and release split singles with comrades Mineral, Jejune, Sense Field and Blueprint. Clarity, co-produced by the band and longtime collaborator Mark Trombino (Blink-182, Drive Like Jehu), arrived in early 1999. In true Jimmy Eat World fashion, the disc was preceded by a self-titled EP released on tiny independent Fueled By Ramen that featured the Clarity standouts "Lucky Denver Mint" and "For Me This Is Heaven" and a demo version of "Your New Aesthetic." The band's indefatigable efforts began to pay off when Clarity's first-week sales alone amounted to nearly half of what Static Prevails had sold to date.

	..................... QUOTES: We live in a world full of drugs, superstars, power, murder, & hatred. For us to clearly understand what is destroying the human race, we must see the truth about the world. Someone had to show the world what it has become. Someone had to go this far..... I've always looked at everything I do as if it were my favorite band, you know, I like to present things with every element possible. From the image to the music, to politics, to philosophy, to the religious aspects." "Mechanical Animals is the way I describe mankind and the path it's following. That people look and act like human beings, but inside, we're losing our souls, that we numb ourselves with drugs, we numb ourselves with television. we numb ourselves with the Internet, with prescription drugs, with whatever we can find, because everyone's afraid to be an individual. And Mechanical Animals is the fear that I have for the world." "My personality has indeed multiple sides. This counts for each human basically, but not everybody dares to admit it by far. Your male side, your feminine side, even your immature childish side, all take part in the perfection of your personality. As a human it makes you more creative, colorful, and complete."
Greenday Billie Joe is the youngest of six cilidren, born on the 17th Feburary 1972. His dad was a truck driver and played in a jazz band as the drummer. His dad died when Billie was at the age of 10. His mother was a waitress at Rod's Hickory Pit. When Billie was five he use to sing at hospiltals to cheer the paients up. He also recorded his first record, titled "Looking For Love". The first album Billie Joe brought was Elvis' "The Sun Sessions". Then after his mates got him into punk and bands like the Dead Kennedeys etc. The first song he wrote was "Why Do You Want Him?" when he was 12 years old. This track features on 1,039 smoothed out slappy hours. BJ has played/wrote/produced with serval other bands. Most noticablly, Pinhead Gunpowder and Rancid. With Pinhead Gunpowder he has recored a few EP's with them and with Rancid, he song he co-wrote with Tim Armstong(No Relations, just good mates. Tim is also Lint from Operation Ivy, who wrote KNOWLEDGE!) called Radio which features on Lets Go! album.
	..................... Green Day have been going 12 years. They formed in 1989, minus Tre Cool, who later became the drummer. Even though Mike and BIllie Joe had a band before, called Sweet Chilidren, in 1989, they gathered the services of Al Sobrantre (John Kiftmeyer) and recorded the band first album, 1,039 SMOOTHED OUT SLAPPY HOURS! This was a collection of the bands previous E.P.'s, called 1,000 HOURS, SWEET CHILIDREN and SLAPPY, and then though LookOut! Records, a local punk label, release 1,039 SMOOTHED OUT SLAPPY HOURS, and is received well. Shortly after it was release, Al Sobrantre left to go to college, and his drum teacher, Tre Cool(?!?!?) replaced him. In 1992, the band released its second album, KERPLUNK, and it was even BETTER recieved than 1,039 SMOOTHED OUT SLAPPY HOURS. This is the album which has gained Green Days success today, with major bidding wars going on between major record labels, the band decide to sign with Warner under the Reprise label, for FIVE YEARS. With songs on Kerplunk like Chirstie Road, Welcome to Paradise, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield, and the excellant cover of the Who's My Generation, theres no wonder that these major labels wanted them. There however was a problem with this, people calling them "punk sell-outs", which, THEIR NOT!
JJ72 Yes, JJ72 are all just out of their teens. No, no-one apart from singer Mark Greaney knows what their name means and he's getting a little annoyed about all the silly theories that journalists keep putting to him (Janis Joplin's weight in stones at the time of her demise? a German plane?). And yes, they're already creating a sound of such verve and intensity that it makes their peers sound like rank amateurs. "I'm a firm believer that the whole reason we're doing this is that there's not enough music for me that has that special thing," says Mark. "I believe that really simple guitar music can have the same effect as classical music or listening to someone like Maria Callas. Listening to 'Closer' from start to finish, that to me is classical music." Oops, Joy Division, a band that's haunted the JJ's ever since Mark told an interviewer that they were one of the few bands he'd give house-room to (incidentally, he's also a big fan of Norwegian pop-heroes A-Ha, especially the glacial, mournful tones of 'Take On Me'). But listening to the bewitching, elegiac 'Oxygen', the staccato splendour of 'October Swimmer' or the oblique rage of 'Snow' from their astonishing debut album, it's not that they sound like the Divs - rather it's a shared sense of wide-eyed grandeur, a belief that there's more to music than schmoozing Dr Fox on The Pepsi Chart.
