Uke Attack! Uke Attack! Uke Attack!! Uke Attack!! are three men. One of them is Edward, one of them is Matthew, one of them is Russell. Can you guess which is which?
Voodoo Child (Slight Return) (1968, Jimi Hendrix). Classic Hendrix blues, this is the closing track on his third and final album, Electric Ladyland. It is well known for its wah-wah-soaked guitar work, with muted strings crescendoing into explosive riffs, based upon Muddy Waters' "Rollin' Stone". The song appears on the album Band of Gypsys: Live at the Fillmore East. While introducing the song, Hendrix refers to it as the Black Panthers' national anthem. For some, the song is considered to be the first heavy metal song. All These Things That I've Done (2005, Killers). Third single from the Killers' debut album Hot Fuss, one of the high points of Live 8 in 2005. The Killers are an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, most famous for their hit singles "Somebody Told Me", "Mr. Brightside", "When You Were Young" and "Read My Mind". Much of The Killers' music is British influenced (indeed the band are often described as the "Best British band to have come out of America") and on the music of the 1980s, particularly New Wave music. Brandon Flowers (keyboard, vocals bass) has recently gone on record claiming that Green Day's politically driven concept album American Idiot displays "calculated Anti-Americanism." He explained that he has problems with the album content itself and also the fact that the band's recent live DVD, Bullet in a Bible, was filmed overseas. The taping of the concert, featured on Bullet in a Bible, shows thousands of English fans singing along to "American Idiot." He said, "I just thought it was really cheap. To go to a place like England or Germany and sing that song - those kids aren't taking it the same way that he meant it. And he [Billie Joe Armstrong] knew it." Stating that he feels Green Day's DVD is a bit of a stunt, he went on to say that he feels The Killers' most recent release, Sam's Town, is a much more accurate representation of American culture. |
