Looks like one of my favorite band just doesn’t smack a punch like they used to before. Ever since Guns N’ Roses lost Slash, I kinda lost my interest. Slash definitely plays a big role in contributing to the sound of GNR. Sigh. From what I read in undercover.com.au, they did not really made an impact at the stores. I think what Axl need to do is chill out, spend some alone time at one of the Outer Banks resorts, bring his compact recording gear and start making some good songs for 2009…

Do you know that the deepest concert was performed by Katie Melua (UK) and her band at 303 m (994 ft) below sea level, on Statoil’s Troll A gas rig, off the coast of Bergen, Norway on 1 October 2006. Ms Melua performed two 30-minute concerts to an audience of 20 oilrig workers, each of whom had won a ticket to see the performance.

Katie Melua was born in Georgia (former USSR) in 1984, growing up under the communist regime in the capital, Tbilisi. The family left Georgia when Katie was eight and moved to Belfast where her father got a job as a heart surgeon. Katie didn’t always want to be a singer or songwriter. Her ambition when she was thirteen was to be a politician or a historian “I honestly thought I’d be able to bring peace to the world…if I ruled it! The family lived in Belfast for five years before moving to South East London. After her GCSEs, Katie joined the Brit School for Performing Arts where she undertook a BTEC and Music A-level.

*Get her DVD and invest in a home theater seating system. I think it’s worth it!
