last night after work i headed up to jamboozies for a quick drink. there was a lame discussion about velvet revolver being a kick ass band. i'm sorry, you're wrong. velvet revolver is a sub-par rock super group that ended up just being a rock mediocre group. then a question comes up..."led zeppelin didn't have any hits of of their first 3 albums...and if they did, name 3 hit's from the albums led zeppelin 1, 2, and/or 3." now, whole lotta love was on led zeppelin 2 and topped off at #4 in the U.S. that i would consider a hit. however, there weren't any other chart toppers on 1, 2, or 3. with that said i'll bring this point into the discussion...the 3 album's were chart killers.

Date of release, Title, and Position
January 12, 1969 Led Zeppelin #6 UK #10 U.S.
October 22, 1969 Led Zeppelin II #1 UK #1 U.S.
October 5, 1970 Led Zeppelin III #1 UK #1 U.S.
November 8, 1971 Led Zeppelin IV #1 UK #2 U.S.
March 28, 1973 Houses of the Holy #1 UK #1 U.S.
February 24, 1975 Physical Graffiti #1 UK #1 U.S.
March 31, 1976 Presence #1 UK #1 U.S.
August 15, 1979 In Through the Out Door #1 UK #1 U.S.

here's velvet revolver's stats...
Year Title Chart positions Album

2004 Contraband (Billboard Top 100)#1, (UK Album Chart)#11, (ARIA Australia Charts)#2
2007 Libertad (Billboard Top 100)#did not place..awww, (UK Album Chart)#6, (ARIA Australia Charts)#10

it seems to me that i'd rather have all of my albums get number one than have 3 hot singles.

game, set, match.


tonight is lilly's as usual. there's nothing wrong with a $1 white fish. so tasty.

i saw this on thesuperficial.com a while ago and i just have to post it on my lj because i hate avril so much.

"Avril Laviigne is being sued by The Rubinoos who claim her song "Girlfriend" was stolen from their song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." The CEO of Nettwerk Music Group dismissed the suit, calling it baseless and a "case of legal blackmail." The CEO says:

“Avril's a great songwriter and she's proving it over and over and over again ... Avril's very, very sensible. She knows music well. If the chords had been similar, the melodies had been similar, lyrics had been similar, the meter, she would have gone, ‘Okay, I can see their point.' But nothing's similar.”
The record company may end up settling the suit anyways, since it might cost them even more to successfully defend. Although this isn't the first time Avril has been accused of stealing. Last month, singer Chantal Kreviazuk accused Avril of stealing a song title. Additionally, the writer of "Sk8er Boi" says Lavigne shouldn't be listed on the credits since all she did was "change a word here or there." You can listen to the comparison above and judge for yourself. Personally, I think Avril Lavigne is a clown so in my book she's pretty much guilty of everything. Stealing songs? Guilty! Being a man? Guilty! Murdering Jesus? Guilty!"

good day to you all.
