Alice In Chains and Them Vultures ???

No matter how much i like them, this last album is not good enough. They sound commercially just like most every band. The grunge, stoner and rock n'roll spirit may be there, but i can't feel it. Maybe they just got old or stop using drugs, i don't know and i don't care. I still listen to the album from time to time searching for something that makes me change my mind. I have done it before.
I listen to the upcoming debut album by Them Crooked Vultures and it seems to me that is nothing but the same shit all of them were doing. Queens of Stone Age is on loop, all the musics sound the same. Led Zeppelin is great, great riffs, great drummer, great voice. Foo Fighters is the most disgusting commercial rock band of the century.
The idea was good, make money selling the same shit with a different package. What ever happened to creativity.

NIN is free audio and video

That is correct.
Nine Inch Nails realesed Slip as free download, more or less a year ago. (Just before Radiohead claim they were making the same, in what it proves to be a marketing stunt. Now it is the fans who offer a DVD. The NIN tour was open video, witch basically means you could take a video crew and film it yourself. NIN wanted to film the concert in Webster Hall, where they played the "The Downward Spiral", but the venue administration figure out that could make money with them and asked for a small fortune to allow it. Result, the fans filmed, edited and offered it to NIN. The fansite thisonisonus made a great job resulting in a raw and realistic Nine Inch Nails concert. Thank you a lot.
Just a small story about musicians and there fans, opposite to products and there consumers.
Check the NIN website for downloads and updated news, the fansite for video updates.
