At the time of their 1990 debut, the kind of rock & roll the Black Crowes specialise in was out of fashion. Only Guns N' Roses came come together to approximating a vintage Stones-style raunch, only they were as well angry and jagged to pull it off completely. The Black Crowes replicated that Stonesy browbeat and Faces boogie perfectly. Vocalist Chris Robinson appropriated the levelheaded and style of vintage Rod Stewart spell guitar instrumentalist Rich Robinson amalgamated Keith Richards' be given flak with Ron Wood's mussy rhythmical sense. At their c. H. Best, the Black Crowes echo authorised rock without slavishly imitating their influences.

The Robinson brothers earlier formed the Black Crowes in Georgia in 1984. By the time of their 1990 debut, Shake Your Money Maker, the mathematical group comprised Chris Robinson (vocals), Rich Robinson (guitar), Johnny Colt (bass), Jeff Cease (guitar), and Steve Gorman (drums). "Green-eyed Again," the low single from Shake Your Money Maker, was a moderate strike only it was the band's cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" that made the group a multi-platinum success. "Grueling to Handle" climbed its way into the Top 40, propulsive the album into the Top Ten. The acoustic ballad "She Talks to Angels" became the band's indorsement Top 40 hit in the spring of 1991. Shake Your Money Maker would eventually sell over threesome meg copies.

The Black Crowes delivered their indorsement album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, in the leaping of 1992. It entered the charts at number matchless, only it didn't have got as many hit singles as the debut; none of the singles cracked the Top 40 and exclusively "Remedy" and "Sticker in My Pride" made the Top 100. Nevertheless, the band established itself as a popular concert attractive force that summertime, marketing extinct theaters across America. During 1992, the band added keyboardist Eddie Harsch as a permanent member. The Black Crowes' third album, Amorica, arrived in late 1994. Amorica debuted in the Top Ten, simply none of the singles from the album made the charts; regular though the record went gold, it slipped off the charts in early 1995.

Trey Snakes and One Charm, the group's fourth album, was released in July 1996. The album entered the charts at number 15, only it quickly slipped out of the Top 50. Nevertheless, the album received the best reviews of whatever Crowes album since The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. Guitarist Marc Ford was dismissed from the Black Crowes in August 1997; two age by and by, the radical returned with By Your Side. In mid-2000, the band collaborated with Led Zeppelin guitar player Jimmy Page on the double-disc Live at the Greek, an eclecticist mix of newly recorded Zeppelin covers and additional authoritative blues cuts. Sterling Hits 1990-1999: A Tribute to a Work in Progress, a 16-track best-of compiling, was also released in mid-2000.

The Don Was-produced Lions appeared in leaping 2001, and a summer go with Oasis -- the Tour of Brotherly Love -- followed in June. But all was obviously not well with the radical, and in January 2002, the band announced that it was on hiatus. Drummer Steve Gorman was dismissed, and Chris Robinson proclaimed his intentions for a solo calling. In 2005, however, the group got plunk for together for a show at San Francisco's Fillmore, a concert that was released in both CD and DVD form in 2006 as Freak 'N' Roll... Into the Fog. That same year, The Lost Crowes, which contained deuce previously unreleased albums, 1993's Tall, parts of which were seen in Amorica and other places, and the 1997 never-before-heard Band, came out.

Fear of Vaccine Fuels Measles Outbreak

Measles cases in the U.S. ar at the highest degree in more than a decade, with nearly half of those involving children whose parents rejected inoculation, health officials reported Thursday.

Measles, best known for a red skin rash, is a potentially deadly, highly infectious virus that spreads through contact with a sneezing, coughing, infected person.

It is no longer autochthonal to the United States, but every year cases enter the country through and through foreign visitors or Americans returning from abroad. Measles epidemics have exploded in Israel, Switzerland and some other countries. But high U.S. childhood vaccination rates have prevented major outbreaks here.

In a typical year, only one outbreak occurs in the United States, infecting perchance 10 to 20 people. So far this year through July 30 the country has seen seven outbreaks, including one in Illinois with 30 cases, said Seward, of the CDC's Division of Viral Diseases.

None of the 131 patients died, but 15 were hospitalized.

Childhood measles vaccination rates get stayed higher up 92 percent, according to 2006 data. However, the recent outbreaks suggest potential pockets of unvaccinated children are forming. Health officials worry that vaccination rates have begun to fall � something that won't show up in the data for a couple of years.

Director WERNER HERZOG enjoys the buzz of being shot at, after dodging bullets on two occasions.

The German filmmaker was attacked by a mystery sniper in Los Angeles in 2006, while he was being interviewed on camera by a BBC movie journalist.

He was hit in abdomen by a metal pellet leaving him cut and bruised, but stunned viewers by reacting calmly.

During an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brian on Wednesday (4Jun08), the Rescue Dawn director revealed that wasn't the first time he had been shot at - and confessed he found both experience invigorating.

He said, "I was shot more seriously with real bullets. But not hit. That's the great exhilarating feeling for a man, to be shot at without success."

The alterna-funk outfit Phunk Junkeez is a five-piece (singer Soulman, guitarist Jeff O'Rourke, bassist Jumbo Jim, drummer Disko Danny D, and vocalist/turntable spinner DJ Roachclip), and sounds outstandingly similar to such present daytime chart toppers 311, Sugar Ray, and others.

After the release of their self-titled independent debut, Trauma Records signed the ring and released Injected, which proved to be a slimly harder rocking occasion than the 1st one. Soon subsequently, the ring recorded a bouncy cover of KISS' anthemic "I Love It Loud" for the gesture exposure Tommy Boy, and toured for 2 days solid.

Madonna, Hard Candy

''I know I can do it better'', boasts Madonna on She's Not Me, a gigantic disco ball of a Chic-esque tune. It's a piercing shot at any young pretenders, past, present and future, who think they've what it takes to take on the Queen of Pop in her fiftieth year, and one that reverberates across her eleventh album.

Laying herself at the mercy of producers savvy enough to churn out hits in their sleep, Madonna has put her reputation on the line for Hard Candy, but it's a calculated risk, and although she could have done it better, it's still a mighty record.

In essence, the album is not the hip hop tribute many had feared, but an urban extension of 2005's Confessions On A Dancefloor. The disco still rules supreme (just listen to the funk-overload of Dance 2Nite) and the dancefloor remains Madonna's sexual playground. Yet, with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Nate 'Danja' Hills and Pharrell Williams at the helm, the RnB edge is added. Williams' breathy punctuation and tinny percussion spill over from the album's opener Candy Shop and Timbaland's distorted bass beats make for wonderfully messy melodies, particularly on the superb climax, 12 Voices – Madonna's most haunting sound since Frozen.

The argument that this tried and tested production work could be a template for any artist (Madonna only has co-writing credits) is a tad churlish. She adds that inimitable zing of excitement that the likes of Nelly Furtado don't possess and the record is not without its personal moments. Take the genuinely good, genuinely felt Miles Away; an electro missive concerning her relationship with husband Guy Ritichie (''I guess we're at our best when we're miles away''). Besides, many milestones of Madonna's epic career – Holiday, Get Into The Groove, Ray Of Light and Music - are marked throughout.

Undeniably, it's the work with Timbaland and co. that really sells Hard Candy. Madonna and Timberlake's vocal hook on 4 Minutes is worth the download fee alone and the album's penultimate track, Devil Wouldn't Recognise You, is the next best thing after Timberlake's What Goes Around…

Meanwhile, Williams isn't as dependable. Tracks like the awkward Spanish Lesson and the badly paced Incredible, where the frenetic finish isn't worth the four minute wait, represent more fool's gold than the real deal. In contrast, Give It 2 Me, where children's TV meets trance and techno, is a wholesome sugar rush.

Easy to chew, Hard Candy is everything you'd hope for from a Madonna album; excitement, adventure and progress. Something tells me it just might sell…

Diamonds (and Liz Taylor) Are Forever

It's a miracle Liz Taylor could stand up with all the bling she was rocking outside the Abbey in WeHo on Friday. Oh right, she didn't have to -- the 76-year-old legend was carted out on a wheelchair.

We're told she was at the gay bar as the surprise guest at a family friend's graduation party. Her pooch Daisy was there too; no word if the bitch actually was invited.
