All right, people are back to work!
Red Hot Chili Peppers just let out that they are working on their new album, after being on a lengthy hiatus. Also back to work are Megadeth, and Deep Purple. This will be an interesting month. . .

Another thing, two famous guitarists are selling extremely rare items. Gene Simmons, of KISS, is creating a limited time only axe bass that he will sell to the public. Every single editions of this bass will be autographed by him.

Also being sold is guitarist of Metallica, Kirk Hammett's house in francisco. Okay so it isn't really a house, but more of a mansion, but you get the idea. This georgian-style house is nine-thousand square-feet, it has eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, a music studio, a billiards room and a two-car garage. He is selling it for nine million dollars.

That's all I have for this slow sunday,

 As the famous Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio celebrates twenty-five years of pure magnificence, Everyone else does too. During the second night of celebration for the hall of fame arrived, so did several famous bands and artists of rock.

First up in Madison Square Gardens, where they celebrated, was Jerry Lee Lewis, alone on the piano singing "Great Balls of Fire". Shortly Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, came on to sing "Respect", "Think", and some of her other great hits.

Jeff Beck came next, subbing for a sick Eric Clapton. Soon Buddy Guy, played with him.

   Bruce Springsteen joins U2 on stage at Madison Square Gardens. Here is a complete photo gallery of show.

Other huge acts including Metallica, Lou Reed, and Ozzy Osbourne played through, making this one of the greatest shows on Earth.

Yet it wasn't over as U2 came on to perform one of my favorite songs, "Vertigo". And then suddenly, the famous Mick Jagger walked onto the stage, after almost two years of not singing in front of an audience. He did good singing with U2, and at the end, the wrapped it up with "Beautiful Day".

For more coverage on this momentous occasion, click here.

I actually found it quite amusing that Jeff Beck would be taking over for Eric Clapton, who had just undergone gallstone surgery, just like he did in 1965 when Clapton wouldn't join The Yardbirds. It was Very entertaining to me as a lover of all those acts, including my preferred band, U2.

Well that is all the important news I have for today. Also, famous drummer of Def Leppard, Rick Allen, celebrates his 46th birthday. Allen is not only famous for his drum work, but also for being the only one-armed drummer. So Happy November, and Happy Birthday Rick Allen.

I find it amazing how immersed people are in music. I love it. I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen for years, and I always find the way he sings is like he is telling a complicated story with different turns and emotions. Sure the way he sings is recognized as beautiful, but I think that might be the only things people hear. Of course they hear the beat, but they probably don't understand what the noise is. They think of it as background sounds, something that they put in to make everything more intense.

And that's what makes me sad.

Sometimes, I discreetly hate life. I'm not going to lie about it. Sometimes I can't stand a single day of my
life and I just want to chuck a mailbox into a great abyss to the sound of a heartbeat pounding away. But in the evening, when the day is done, I am mellow for only two reasons. One, because I am extremely tired from being an irritating person. But we are going to focus on the second, which is the fact that before I go to sleep, I always put my I Pod on shuffle and I listen to some rock music.

Not rap or anything like that. I would never consider hip-hop or rap a form of music. I listen to the music of my childhood and that of my father's childhood.

So I'm write this blog for one reason, and one reason only. To teach, live, and write about Rock Music. Without hesitation join me on my expedition of the world of rock, where you will finally learn how to live.

So for your first assignment, you should take a look at this: Rock Daily.
