Lil Wayne’s Rebirth To Be Released December 15

Stephen Baldwin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:27:12 +0000

Universal has announced that Lil Wayne’s long overdue rock album, Rebirth, will be released on December 15th.

The announcement comes just a few weeks after the release of his new mixtape, No Ceilings, and a week after the release of Weezer’s Raditude album, on which he makes an appearance on the song Can’t Stop Partying. He told Billboard.com that he plans to maintain the consistent rock vibe that he intended.

“I play guitar on 80 percent of the songs, and there’s a lot of rock influences and rock beats. I also have Travis Barker on the album.”

While working with two rock giants like Travis Barker and Rivers Cuomo should give Wayne the right idea, there is still no certainty about the outcome of this album. Based on the mild response generated by Prom Queen and Can’t Stop Partying, the anticipation will be filled with more curiousity than excitement.

But you can be certain that Weezy will stay true to his free-for-all roots. “I say what I want, how I want. That’s what this album is: a freedom album.”

The album reportedly includes appearances by Drake, members of Fallout boy and Lenny Kravitz, and may be released alongside the Young Money album, We Are Young Money.

Band Hero let's you be Taylor Swift without being interrupted by Kanye West!

After last week’s amazing DLC 3 pack of Gwar, Marilyn Manson, and The Misfits is there any better way to follow it up than offering a new game featuring Taylor Swift and Adam Levine? Heck no!

On November 5th as a way to celebrate Band Hero being released, plastic instrument fans can either export 69 songs from Guitar Hero 5 into Band Hero or 61 songs (out of 64) into GH5 from Band Hero!

The songs that will not export from Band Hero to Guitar Hero 5 are as follows:

Jesse McCartney- “Beautiful Soul”
Aly & AJ- “Like Whoa”
Styx- “Mr. Roboto”
Hilary Duff- “So Yesterday”

Look on the bright side though you can make Kurt Cobain sing Taylor Swift!

The export runs you 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360, $4.99 on Playstation3, and 500 points on Wii.

November 12th is all about Lenny Kravitz as Guitar Hero commemorates the 20th anniversary of his 1989 debut album Let Love Rule. This three song track pack includes the title track “Let Love Rule,” “Lady” off his seventh studio album Baptism, and “Fly Away,” a song which I will assume you all know because it’s freakin’ “Fly Away”

On November 19th paint your faces and grab your tongue extensiosn because it’s time to rock out with the one and only KISS! This track pack includes their new single “Modern Day Delilah,” which has a ripping solo “I Was Made for Loving You,” their second Gold single and finally “Lick it Up,” which was the title track off their album which was also named… Lick it up.

It’s been awhile since Guitar Hero gave us anything for free and on November 24th they’re doing it SIX TIMES! The Neversoft Thanks The Fans Track Pack features: “Lemon Frosting” by Bunny Knutson, “RockNRola” by Nancy Fullforce, “From the Blue/Point of No Return/T.T.R.T.S” by An Endless Sporadic, “Love Holds It Down” by Dom Liberati, “You Really Like Me” by Davidicus and “Guilty Pleasures” by Tony Solis.

These may appear to be unknown bands to the casual player but I can tell you that I am super excited to play more An Endless Sporadic (from GH3 and GHWT DLC respectfully) and Guilty Pleasures sounds awesome as well.

For reasons unknown this track pack will only be available for Playstation3 and Xbox 360 as of this announcement.

We aren’t done quite yet though for the Wii fans out there that have been feeling not metal enough lately the 8 missing tracks from Metallica’s Death Magnetic will now be able to be downloaded as singles on your Nintendo Wii! This offer begins on November 24th so prepare to shred!

Lenny Kravitz has announced a make-up date for his cancelled show in Kitchener, Ont.

The gig, which was set to take place Thursday but was postponed when the singer fell ill, has now been rescheduled for Nov. 12.

Fans with tickets for the original show will be able to get into the rescheduled gig at Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.

Lenny Kravitz: ‘I Haven’t Had Sex In 3 Years’

Lenny Kravitz will be touring Canada in March, but he won’t be making any groupies happy: he’s given up sex!

In an interview with Maxim Magazine, Kravitz claims to have been celibate for the last three years, and plans to remain so until wed.

“[It's] just a promise I made until I get married. Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.”

Kravitz divorced actress Lisa Bonet in 1991. He is also rumoured to have at one time proposed to Nicole Kidman.

Kravitz’s new album will be released in February.

Kravitz Kicks It Up A Notch At Grey Cup

American rocker Lenny Kravitz brought fans to their feet at Canada’s biggest football event Sunday.

The 43-year-old singer rocked the game’s half-time show with a guitar-driven performance that left the Grey Cup crowd screaming for more.

Kravitz donned a black leather jacket and his trademark sunglasses while he belted out his popular cover of the Guess Who song, “American Woman” and the ’70s-inspired, “Are You Gonna Go My Way.

About 300 cheerleaders gathered around the stage, which was surrounded in white and rotating lights, TSN.ca reports.

The crowd was packed with contest winners and select ticket holders who watched the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by a score of 23-19.

“Canada, thank you,” TSN says Kravitz followed his three-song set with the shout-out to Canadian fans and a plug for his upcoming album, “It is Time for a Love Revolution.”

The rocker left the stage and the enthusiastic crowd with three words.

“Peace. Love. Revolution,” he said.

The audience would hear more from the musician after the performance.

“Tonight was amazing. I haven’t been to Canada in a while and what a welcome I got. An incredible crowd and event,” the stadium announcer read out loud in a statement from Kravitz.
