• David Guetta Describes Preforming at Coachella Without Pre-Set Playlist

    David Guetta is one of the biggest DJs in the world. He has been one of the primary drivers for the EDM explosion in the United States around 2009, 2010 with tracks like "I Got A Feeling" with the Black Eyed Peas and "Sexy B*tch" with Akon. Without those, the packed stadium tours, eye-popping festivals and multi-billion dollar EDM industry might not have been possible or would have taken longer to develop. This has not been without criticism however. He has been accused of using playing "pre-recorded" DJ sets, where just stands with his hands in the air, while an hour-long pre-made mix plays. Evidence has been put forth for and against Guetta playing pre-recorded sets, but it appears in a new interview with Beatport at Coachella, he might have admitted to performing pre-planned sets that verge on pre-recorded.

  • 5 Bad Vocalist Solo Debuts, from David Lee Roth to Nearly All of The Beatles

    On this date 30 years ago, Freddie Mercury of Queen released his first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy...and it failed drastically, at least from a commercial standpoint. It seems odd now—when a solo album from Brandon Flowers or other vocalists attached to a big-name band can release an album by themselves and land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 without breaking a sweat—that one of the liveliest frontmen in rock history couldn't get into the Top 150 of the album sales charts with his first solo release. That said (and despite the cheesy image of Mercury in shades on the album cover), Mr. Bad Guy ain't a bad record. That can't be said about the solo debuts of these other famous vocalists, from The Beatles' members to David Lee Roth.

  • Adam Lambert "Ghost Town" Music Video: Creep Dance Party Leads 'The Original High'
