Nightwish to record a new song in Finnish!


Nightwish is showing respect for Finnish singer/songwriter veteran Jaakko Teppo by recording his song “Hilma ja Onni” in Finnish. Jaakko Teppo is well known in Finland of his humorous protest songs associated with the labor movement. 15 years ago a serious illness forced Jaakko Teppo to withdraw from the stages. Today many of the brightest stars in Finland are honoring Jaakko Teppo’s legacy for Finnish music culture by recording his songs on tribute album "Pörsänmäen Sanomat". Nightwish's rendition of “Hilma ja Onni” is available on iTunes & CDON.COM and the album "Pörsänmäen Sanomat – Tribuutti Jaakko Tepolle" can be ordered through

Guns 'n' Roses: New single


Well it's finally official. After years of waiting the world will hear the first official release of new Guns & Roses tomorrow! Just got an official email that the song Chinese Democracy is being sent to all radio tomorrow morning. Axl is back for real this time! Look forward to hearing the CD the way he wanted after all this time. Of course I will play it next time I'm on the air this Friday and Monday. Also, just a little side note for the Guns freaks out there; Bumblefoot does the theme music for my upcoming new VH1 Classic show "That Metal Show" and makes two guest cameos in it! Welcome back Axl, can't wait to hear the real finished product.
