We've written plenty about VH1's "Rock Honors." The Foo Fighters and Gaz Coombes' take on "Bargain" wasn't exciting. The Flaming Lips' practice footage was, relatively speaking. (It involved an illuminated gong, remember.) Adding to our footage of bands covering the... CONTINUE READING THE WHO HATE EACH OTHER, VARIOUS PEOPLE COVER THE WHO»

PJ's headlining set Saturday night brought treated one of Bonnaroo's largest crowds to a three-hour, 25 song set. Like Lolla '07, it didn't disappoint, except that it had 100% less Dennis Rodman. EdVed remains a golden god. It's a... CONTINUE READING BONNAROO: PEARL JAM GIVE GOOD ED»

Breaking news: A rock band wants Obama for president. This time it's Bonnaroo-bound Pearl Jam, who have eschewed the live rally route in favor of a touched-up cover of an old rock classic. Stone Gossard picks up vocal duties from an abstaining EdVed and explains: "'Rock Around The Clock' was the first mainstream rock and roll hit in 1955 and it had a transforming effect on American music ... The rhythm of rock music and its energy were so overwhelming that traditional barriers of race and culture broke down with an enormous crash. So here's to new energy, rock and the breaking down of cultural barriers: Barack Around The Clock!" Listen here (MP4).
