Fab Rock Tattoos

Fab Rock Tattoos

Now i don’t have any tattoos myself (i’m too much of a wimp) but loads of my muso mates have them. They’ve got some really cool designs too, I wish i was a bit braver, perhaps I’d get a few myself. One of my mates works in the tattoo supply industry and he was telling me about some of the crazy stuff people get tattoed on them.

Me, I guess I’d go for something tribal probably, a big bold tribal pattern on my shoulder – I think those look pretty cool!

So anyway, my inspiration for this post comes from a great tattoo I saw on the Radio One websit a while ago. Edith Bowman had this great feature on about tattoos and this guy called in and was telling them how he’d had a picture of Noel Gallagher out of Oasis tattoed on him . . . Only thing was . . . It didn’t turn out exactly how he wanted:

Lol – you’ve got to love that haven’t you :) Anyway, here are some cool tattoos for you festival type dudes:

This one’s only gonna freak you out when you’ve had a few.

One for you web type geekos :)

And one of my tribal favourites

Take it easy guys :)

Leeds 2010 – Counting Down the Days

It’s not long till Leeds festival now, just over 1 month and I cannot wait. The tent is still out from Glastonbury and I am ready for three days of rock and roll at Bramham Park.

The ones to watch for me have to be Guns N’ Roses, I don’t need to debate whether it’s a real GNR line-up, Axl Rose will be there and so will I as they headline the final night of the festival! Mumford & Sons seem to be doing the full round of festivals in 2010 and they will be at Leeds too.

Saturday is going to be a wild day with a throw-back to the pop-punk of the 90s and early 2000s… Blink 182 and Limp Bizkit in one day, that’s one for the mosh pit.

In fact it’s time to put on Blink 182’s “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket” and party in this summer sun… See you all at Leeds

Glastonbury 2010

So Glastonbury has been and gone for another year!! U2 never showed (good!) and Gorillaz stepped up to the plate and blew the crowd away with a massive set that featured special guest after special guest. From Shaun Ryder daring us to “DARE” to a recording of Dennis Hopper’s reading of Fire Coming out of the Monkey’s Head with clips of Easy Rider playing on the giant screen as Billy and Captain America rode across America… Don’t forget about Snoop Dog and Lou Reed either!!

Other highlights for me were Faithless and Dizzee Rascal bringing some beats to a guitar-dominated festival and the fantastic Stevie Wonder… this guys record sales have gone through the roof since his Sunday night headline slot!

On the John Peel Stage Ellie Goulding and Marina & The Diamonds brought some glossy Pop hits to the fields of Somerset.

Highlights from The Other Stage included the ever-fantastic The Flaming Lips, fronted by the energetic Wayne Coyne…a feast of balloons, psychedelic pop tunes and confetti.

Before you know it though it’s all over, the stages are packed away and the cows come home… literally!

Roll on next year.

Jay-Z does Wonderwall & 99 Problems – Glastonbury UK 2008

phoneshopuk asked:


www.phoneshopuk.biz Jay-Z answered his critics, notably Oasis’s Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury. Striding on stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder, he led the crowd in a rendition of Oasis’s “Wonderwall”, smiling throughout, and with wife Beyonce Knowles in attendance, his set included songs such as “99 Problems”. In a radical departure from the indie rock and guitar bands commonly associated with Glastonbury, the festival recruited the New Yorker in a bid to reach out to a younger …
