Paramore rocked it!

Hey Adam - great photos - we were in the Mezzanine so not as close but still had a great time - I was very impressed with how Haley sounded as well as the band - great show!

Eminem

Why is it that both music writers from both the free press & det news are so in love with Eminem?

Both writers have zero objectivity and are total homers!!!!!

Eminem; 3 A.M., and ICP

Eminem is very talented, nobody with a brain who can hear would ever dispute that fact. However, there are SEVERAL tracks on RELAPSE that are HEAVILY influenced by PSYCHOPATHIC RECORDS, ICP & TWIZTID. He may pretend not to see it, but the facts are there. ICP has a song from YEARS ago that is eeirly similar to "3AM". The video for that song is totally a knockoff of several recent Psychopathic Records artists' videos. Em, you are mad talented, but please don't try to act like you are totally unaware or not influenced by Psychopathic. Check out the videos, music...the facts are right there, and Psychopathic did it all years before Em. The hatchet chopping was ICP's thing, and now Eminem is doing it and acting like he didn't get it from them. He used to go to their shows in Detroit, he KNOWS what they are about. And apparently, he likes it.

PLEASE ADAM!!

Adam,

You are serious about being critical of Eminem's grammar?

I refer to you taking issue with his redundancy in the phrasing "3 a.m. in the morning". bit like renting an x-rated movie and complaining there was nudity?

PLEASE ADAM!!

Do not promote the hack that is Asher Roth. As a fan of real hip hop he makes me cringe. He is at best a poor mans Eminem and at worst the antichrist.

He is not the worst rapper in the world, but he lacks any real substance and I can already feel the hype machine brewing and if he blows up I might have to go on a prescription pill diet.

I wouldn't even have THAT much of a problem with this tool if A. His style was not ripped straight from Mr. Mathers (Not because he is white but because his style is clearly a forgery, sans crazy killing mom raping people talk).

B. "I Love College" was not the most blatantly obvious attempt to make a "classic" song I've ever seen. OMG COLLEGE !!!!!!! Sorry I'm not a high school senior so keg stands and "doing something crazy" don't really stimulate my mind.

Please use your time to promote real hip hop such as the inexplicable linking of the best underground rappers in the world that has lead to Slaughterhouse.

Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Detroit's own Royce da 5'9" will stimulate your mind more with one verse then Asher Roth and Rick Ross could if they were in graduate school.(man I love college)

Chris and Rihanna

Man, Chris Brown and Rihanna are the new Ike and Tina Turner duel, or Whitney and Bobby Brown.

I would donate this song to both Chris Brown and Rihanna From YouTube

Detroit City Council rejects Cobo Center deal

Conyers should leave town with Reeves under one arm and Collins under the other. We are sick of the Ghetto city playing the race card every time things don't go their way.

Collins needs to list the racist people in Lansing so we can get rid of them too. Sounds like hot air and Collins seems to e the racist one. What was up with Conyers bouncing up and down in the council meeting? They sell booster seats at Kmart.

Please, Nicole ...

... if you've got 'creative juices' flowing inside still, don't go the Zooey Deschanel route and make a really cruddy record. Seriously. I beg of you.

Any comments on the AC/DC...

...Black Ice album? I think it sounds like their vintage stuff.

Smashing Pumpkins

All it was is people found out that their music was garbage and tuned it off.

Smashing Pumpkins

In late '95, after the release of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, I remember you stating that Corgan should just kill himself because he'd never be able to top that album and shouldn't try. A bit harsh, yes, but 13 years later I see your point.

Billy, stop tainting our memories.

Wow Adam, you are braver then me. Looks like you were right in front of the stage. The gallery is posted now. I shot for you tonight and got some images from the back up high and then pushed my way onto the stage from backstage. Oh and don't sell yourself short, your pics are not bad. I hope you don't take work from us freelancers! LOL :)
