Rehearsals by Francis Zégut ( check his website for more )

Well well well, lots of expectations for this private gig @ Canal+ .
We get there early as we were to attend the soundcheck @ 5:00 PM.
Met a couple of friends and made our way into the tiny studio ( capacity for tonight 250 people ) Patrice Guino , our photographer couldn't take any pictures because of one bitch from Sony Music France. Too bad. this fuckin' bitch had nothing better to do !!!
Anyway the band jam a bit , had fun for more than 30 min , then they did an interview but people were asked to leave the premises just before.

Dave by Francis Zégut ( Thanks man )

Soundcheck setlist ( tbc ):
Scumbag blues
No one loves me
Caligulove
Reptiles
Interlude w/ludes
Highway 1 (tbc )

We were told that the band was playing a proper set , which means playing 90 min.
Most of the tickets have been booked by Sony Music France for the Press & relatives but there were a few fans including the two maniacs behind me who headbanged for the whole set.

The record is OK, I thought that their show at the Rock en Seine Festival last August was kickin' ass (click for GREAT pics & Video from the set ).
Seeing them in such conditions was perfect , once again in this studio.
Songs on records are just Ok but LIVE they're masterpieces ( well, apart from a couple ).
Dave Grohl is a fucking KILLING MACHINE !!! Smiling all the time to John Paul Jones.
He's like a kid in a candy store.
Funny to see John Paul Jones playing with those guys , funny to see him asking Josh Homme for a short break between two songs as Josh was introducing the next one as they've barely finished the previous.
Josh Homme was as cool as ever, he was the only one ( with Alain ) to stop to sign autographs to fans on his way in.
Alain Johannes was also very nice , he's fluent in french and is playing bass, guitar & keyboards for the band.
They've played a new song and Josh told us that they have plenty more.
A second record in the can ?

Great set , in my top 5 for 2009
It was Ze one not to be missed.

Aerosmith is looking for another singer , Tyler is out !


The Toxic Twins in happier times & Tyler who's now out

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry has revealed the band have drawn up a short list of potential replacements for Steven Tyler.

Talking to CNN, Perry said:

“We have a short list and are talking to a lot of people… But I found the singer for my band [The Joe Perry Project] on YouTube, so there’s no reason why we can’t do the same.”

Perry also encouraged singers to send in CDs, videos, etc. to the band’s management.


Or is it just done to scare the shit out of Tyler ?!
