Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

September 28th, 2009 by Evan

It’s been 10 years since they’ve first been eligible but Kiss has finally been nominated to be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. To be eligible for nomination, the artist’s first record must have been released 25 years prior to the induction ceremony – the band became eligible in 1999. The top 5 nominees to be inducted into the Hall of Fame will be announced in January and Gene Simmons and the gang better be ready to go up against some stiff competition. Nominations for the 2010 include music giants Abba, Donna Summer, Iggy & the Stooges, LL Cool J, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Genesis, to name a few.

Led Zeppelin and ABBA Take Michael Jackson’s Place

July 8th, 2009 by Evan

Could a tribute show and ABBA be able to replace Michael Jackson’s 50-date residency at London’s O2 Arena? What about a tribute show, ABBA and rock legends Led Zeppelin? The word is that AEG Live has offered both Led Zeppelin and ABBA a lot of money to play alternating nights at the arena in place of the late King of Pop. A source said “Only Michael Jackson could sell out 50 nights at such a big arena, but Led Zeppelin and Abba combined might just rival him. There is huge money on the table.” Money really talks the language of a lot of people.
