With the new album and tour, U2 has left behind the techno trappings of 1997's Pop for straight-on, earthy, lusty rock 'n' roll. "Our last albums were in a way deconstructing what a band was about," explains drummer Larry Mullen. "It's great to be playing as a real band again." U2 is also excited about being able to connect with an audience in an intimate way again. "People have been coming to U2 shows for 20 years now. It's almost like the Deadheads at this stage," explains bassist Adam Clayton. "People realize that it's about...
...desire for complete control was his approach to making music. As a child, Cobain insisted on taking guitar lessons and practiced diligently despite his later rehearsed claims to journalists that he disliked practicing and authority. Upon Cobain’s insistence, Nirvana went thorough a bevy of drummers before accepting the talented Dave Grohl as a permanent member, but was talking of firing Grohl towards the end of the band’s existence as the drummer tried to incorporate songs he had written into Nirvana’s sets. And despite the apathetic grunge prototype which Cobain attempted...
...first American release from Russell Crowe's classic-rock band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, "Bastard Life or Clarity" (Artemis). Of these three CDs, one might hold out the highest hopes for Thornton's.

As late as 1995, in "Clueless," crowd is still important. The regally popular main character, Cher, introduces a new girl to her Beverly Hills high school by pointing out each of the crowds lounging...
...American indie rock saga of the `80s were either in Nirvana or married to people in Nirvana. For that reason, the tenth anniversary of Nevermind comes attended by unceremonious squabbling. Courtney Love, Cobain's famed widow, is engaged in a court battle with bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl over the rights to the Nirvana catalog, and that lawsuit looks as if it will prevent a Nevermind box set from being released this year. Such high- stakes legal brawls are worlds away from the scene profiled in "Our Band Could Be Your Life," in which SST, the most influential...
