With “The Pretender” coming early in the set all the way up through the closing “Dear Rosemary/Breakdown/Everlong”, it was a Foo Fighters mash up at breakneck speed. “We like to play as long as we can, “Grohl spouted before kicking off “Learn To Fly”. “So I hope you don’t mind if we just play until we feel like we’re going to barf … If you want to hear a couple hours of music, we’ll try to go there for you.” And you knew that if they could get away with it, they wouldn’t stop till dawn.

Brian Jonestown Massacre: Crescent Ballroom, Phoenix, AZ 5/1/12

Tonight’s show proves once again that The Brian Jonestown Massacre has reached a new level in their career. Their set is well rehearsed, their sound is flawless, and they have sold out the venue. There is very little standing room inside the Crescent Ballroom and fans have to squeeze through one another to reach the bar area or the bathrooms. Everyone is genuinely excited to watch the spectacle on stage. They seem delighted to hear songs from the new album AUFHEBEN like " Want To Hold Your Other Hand' and 'Clouds Are Lies."

The Sierra Leone’s Refugee Allstars are hardly your group of musicians born and bred on Zeppelin, Nirvana and Radiohead.

Dave Ellefson of Megadeth (INTERVIEW)

Leslie Michele Derrough May 28, 2012 No Comments

Do you ever wonder if professional musicians are really happy? They claim to love their time on the stage but most of the other hours tend to be a series of bus rides, generic dressing rooms, interviews with journalists and lots of sitting around doing nothing. After a while this can become insanely monotonous. But if you listen to Megadeth’s bass player Dave Ellefson talk, you get the impression that life on the road and in the studio is nothing short of total bliss.
