"There Was a Time" - New GNR video

~ April 5, 2007 at 16:59 (Views: 246 )

By Joséli Costa Jantsch

Hi Guys and Girls...Yes, I know, it's been a long time since my last words in here... I think I have a good excuse for that, hehehe...
First of all, I heard that "Guns n' Roses - Chinese Democracy", the new/old GNR Album was supposed to be released by march 2007...And, after that, or better, at the same time, "Zero Hora" (a local Porto Alegre's newspaper) had announced that GNR would be playing here (Porto Alegre)on May,15th!!!
Unfortunatelly, both facts were just rumors...GNR fans are still waiting for the new album and the show was not confirmed...I got really sad for that (and this is my excuse)!!!
But, as I felt guilt for living you all alone, hahah, totally abandoned...I'm here, right now, to give you my friends an Easter Gift, the brand new " Guns N' Roses – There Was A Time", which portrays Axl's relationship with ex-fiancee Stephanie Seymour (the one who appears in "Don't Cry" and "November Rain" videos)..."TWAT" describes perfectly the love and hate relationship that took place between Stephanie and Axl...And, of course, brings to us,nowadays' images of Axl and his new GNR playing alive...Which, I hope someday to see again!!!!
So, please be my guest and check this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-ODUfaygeY

*(While I was searching for the video at Youtube I find out that there are other versions of it, so you can also check them out and tell me which of them you like the most, hehehe...)

Krystal Tears: Yeah, Brazil Rocks Too!!!

~ October 6, 2006 at 15:55 (Views: 209 )

By Joséli Costa Jantsch

Three months ago, I had the pleasure to be found, at orkut, by Diego Padilha, the bass man of Krystal Tears, he scraped me introducing his band and also added me on msn. We chated a couple of times and he sent me their songs

Unfortunatelly, after that, somehow, I lost them…And now, after chating and “interviewing” Krystal Tears’ lead singer, Roberto Sans, I got back the ones I had before (withred Roses and Prisioner of your Love) and two other songs (Crystal Tears and Dreams)…As these guys were always so nice and manly because, of course, their work is amazing, I decided to write this “mini-release”…

Well, let me see…

Krystal Tears is a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal multi-influenced band founded in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. The band currently consists of: Roberto Sans, lead singer (Thotten and ex-Nordheim); Carlos Santanna, guitar; Rigel Romeu (Avec Tristesse), keyboards; Diego Padilha, bass (Snow); Davis Ramay, guitar (Nordheim) and Leonardo Peccatu, drums.

They recorded their first Demos in 2002 (self-entitled “Krystal Tears”). And, after several months playing at night clubs, the band began to play at important events like: “Manifesto Bar” in São Paulo (Brazil) and as the opening act for Dr.Sin. They also had their work reviewed and recognized by “Strutter Magazine” from (Holland) and by a site from Pakistan.

The follow years 2003/2004 were vital for Krystal Tears, two of the original members have decided to leave the band (João Renato, Nuno Boggiss and the lead singer Enzo Scognomillo) and were replaced by Roberto Sans and Rigel Romeu.

After, a long changing season, in 2005, the band finally began to work on its first CD self-titled “A Brand New Life”, released in 2006. This album brings to us, through expressive lyrics, powerful riffs and outstanding chorus, a great and innovative blend of melodic rock and Heavy Metal.

As I was told, they will be the opening act for Sepultura and Massacration shows (live dates sooner) and also they have plans to play in U.S. (Califórnia and New Jersey)…

I hope, someday, have the chance to see their alive performance of “Withred Roses”(one of my favorites), a ballad that reminded me of Poison “Swallon this Live” Album and, of course, Angra!!!

"Rock & Roll Paradise" feat. Billy Idol

~ September 30, 2006 at 16:28 (Views: 120 )

By Joséli Costa Janstch

Last summer a little devil
Came Rockin’ on my door
He said: “Come on baby, let me
Show what Rock & Roll is all about!”

It was a hot and dark summer night
Perfect for a great & fresh starting time
I had the time, so I went to see you, yeah
Ain’t it strange what we do to feel all right?

It was after midnight
And I was feeling so fine
Don’t ask me any questions
Just stay by my side!

I’ve been looking all over the world
And there’re all types of guys
If I had a chance to ask one to dance
I’d rather just dance with myself

Yeah, I know you are in
Need of time to move on
By wiping away your tears,
Letting your past pass off

I tried to be a lover,
To get closer and share,
I tried to be a friend,
Showing how much I care.

God have mercy, baby
Nothing was enough, baby
You left me and
Everything behind!

A holy & lonely soul
Living on her own
Hell on Earth,
Rock & Roll Paradise!

Music for Reaching the Gates of Heaven

~ September 28, 2006 at 23:34 (Views: 183 )

By Joséli Costa Jantsch

Like "my friends" from R.E.M. would probably sing..."this one goes to..." a very special last fm friend of mine, who is trying to melt some girl's heart!

Well, his first question was: "Do girls like men who play guitar?". And my answer was: "Well, I can't answer by the others, but this one here, loves the sound of crashing guitars...and I believe, many girls like them too!!!".

Then, he asked me what kind of music would be able to melt the heart of a girl. And I just said: "Hey, first of all, you have to find out what kind of music she likes", and he told me: "I think she like the Oldies"...

After that, and after some thought moments, we found some great songs which would probably be able to melt hearts...Like Tears in Heaven or Stairway to Heaven...He could also try some Patience or More than Words...

Unfortunatelly,today, I have to say, I think none of those would be responsible for melting this Hard Rock Heart of mine.

Of course, a well played song helps a lot, there's no doubt about it!!! But, to reach the gates of heaven, is necessary more than a good song...Yeah, I'm talking about the blend of: good music + feeling the energy and passion of the musician...The audiance (girl) must feel like it (she) is the only one there...at that moment!!!

So,my advice is: pick up some great and easy to play song, nothing fancy, practice it a lot, put all your passion and energy, go ahead and take your chances baby, I'm pretty sure this girl will be yours!!!

And why I'm so sure about it?!? Because, my heart was already been melted and now his is willing to reach the gates od heaven, again...(a dream that will never come true)...

Oh! Je suis désolée...( I don't wanna be here, if you gonna be there)...I just wanna travel through time and hear: How Long, how have you been? (it would be fine)!!!

About Axl Rose's True ID

~ September 28, 2006 at 2:04 (Views: 177 )

By Joséli Costa Jantsch

In spite of being more in the mood of talking about Soundtracks, I will have to delay this subject for another day...AND WHY?
Just because some of my readers (thank you guys for being so nice)have e-mailed me if I know the story behind Axl Rose name...
So, here I am...
William Bailey, also know as Axl Rose, was born and named Wiiliam Bruce Rose Jr., but as his mommy got married again when he was a little kid, she decided to change his name to William Bailey (his stepdaddy last name).But, since he discovered that his real name was Rose, at the age of 17, he decided to readopt the name "William Rose", and later he legally changed it again to "W.Axl Rose".
Of course, there are many other explanations about his name, like "Axl Rose" is the anagram of "Oral Sex"...But, I'd rather preffer to believe in the first one, and you guys what do you think?

By Your Side - Sebastian Bach's New Song

~ September 18, 2006 at 3:15 (Views: 1302 )

By Joséli Costa Jantsch

I probably should be in bed, but how could I possible sleep without telling you guys about this...(afterall I will be out of here for a couple of days and it would be unfair with you if I'd kept this information with me).
I'd just watched "By Your Side" video at youtube and it's f* owsome, Sebastian Bach, The Angel of Hard Rock,is back!
Yeah, after almost 14 years of "silence" (not completly, I know...I was told that he'd been working on many projects)he is back in great style, the song is simply everything plus more and as we kept watching the video,we can see that Bas still rocks the crowd!!!(as he used to do during the "Slave to the Grind" Tour).
So, now for us, it's time to wait for his upcoming stuff,I'm pretty sure that it will be totally worthwhile!!!
And, before saying goodbye for a while, I must advise you: Go to youtube and watch the video...and do not forget to tell me about your opinions later...hehehe...

Bye Bye and see you soon...

About Rockstar Supernova: Finale Night

~ September 14, 2006 at 14:51 (Views: 114 )

By Joséli Costa Jantsch

First of all, I have to say that I haven't seen the Last Episode yet, unfortunatelly in Brazil It will only take place on Sunday and As I will be getting myself prepared for my surgery I would not be able to watch it!

But I just get some informations about the Night Finale at my Friend Jason's page....Before knowing the results I was a little bit sad, because , as I live in Brazil, and not in SP or RJ, It would be a little bit impossivel to see Supernova alive...

Now, after finding out the results, I'm no longer sad or even planning to see the guys alive, the canadian Lukas Rossi always were my last choice for the band, and why? Not all because he always sing with a sad face, but most of all because besides that he makes my stomach spins (in agony) when he comes to the stage, he seems to be always in pain, and I just hate that, Rock must be fresh and funny (of course, with a touch of sadness and anger), and Lukas is exactly the oposite of that!!!

I always loved Dilana performances, specially the "Super Soul" one, that girl has attitude and a great voice. And Toby Rand, well, what can I say about him, he was always my first choice for the band: good voice, great interaction with the fans, sex appeal...(and that's is important for a lead singer, don't fool yourselves, the majority of the girls only goes to see a band on their first shows because of the lead singer, and sincerelly Lukas?!?)

Hahaha, I can't even imagine myself in my past teen's time having a Luka's poster on my wall, only if I wish to have some kind of nightmare!!!But, he was the chosen one and we all have to accept that...And, some of us, will have to wait till november, to listen the new album!!! (not me, hehehe, I will just wait , if I can, to listen some great news about Toby's and Dilana's cds).

Well, this amazing season is over, Congrats boys for the New upcoming Supernova (Rock) Band and Good Luck when on Tour with The Panic Channel!!!

That's all Folks!!!
Rock on everybody!!!
