This is super bad ass and this girl can sing. Keep in mind that the original singer Adele probably has a ton of “studio magic” on her vocals and this young lady has none and she nails it. KICKACTS ” Salutes all our Men and Women” in our United States Military.
Special Thanks to Jerry Basham for turning us on to this video!
And here is another video of the same band doing “Forget You”!

I really like this band. I am not hip on their message (Satanic) but the concept of their band and music is freaking awesome…

Sebastian Bach’s words of wisdom (serious note)
google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
He penned this about Jani Lane… good stuff for those of you who that have no idea about traveling and playing music.
“People have been asking me about Jani Lane and I really don’t know what to say. Picturing him by himself in a Comfort Inn in Woodland Hills with a bottle of vodka and a bottle of pills is so typical of what a rock musician’s life actually is. It is a life marked by extremes. Extreme attention from people you don’t know, while all the work and travel takes you away from those you actually do know. Playing to thousands of people and then going back to your hotel room and shutting the door. When the door shuts… the quiet is the exact opposite of the volume of the concert. The solitude of the empty hotel room becomes the diametric parallel of the adulation of strangers. For some, the bottle of vodka or whatever becomes a friend that is always there for you while others come and go.
“Yes, I have felt these emotions myself.
“If you see me going head over heels over a girl, it’s because all I have ever wanted is to have a girl to love and share my life with, and for the one I love to be with me wherever I’m at, travel with me to distant locales and stay in nice kick-ass hotel suites and have fun and sing and dance and see the world. But so far this is a fantasy. Just like Jani, I spend most of my time alone in a hotel room dreaming of a girl I love who is somewhere else. I bet Jani Lane felt exactly what I feel. How could he not?
“I remember decades ago being invited to Jani‘s house for a barbeque, which we went to. But Jani didn’t show up. So I spent the afternoon with Jani‘s dad cooking burgers and steaks and having a wonderful day with his family.
“My condolences to his family and especially Jani‘s children who now only have memories of their dad to hold on to. That is truly heartbreaking.
“Let this be yet another lesson to tell someone some kind words sometimes… before it’s too late… while they are still alive.
“I can guarantee Jani Lane would not have anticipated everyone coming out of the woodwork extolling the life and times of Jani Lane. Which is why he probably died alone. In a hotel room. With his only real friend…that killed him in the end.”

why does britney spears deserve tribute at the VMA’s
google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
from
Britney showing her best “asset” since she isn’t much of a singer but with that, who needs to be?
Why are the VMAs giving Britney a tribute? I thought those kind of tributes were meant for the deceased. Britney is still alive, right?
—Jamil Ahmed and Liz Hornak, via Facebook
Britney Spears‘ dancing may have devolved into a zombielike jumble of shuffles and feints, but I can confirm that the pop gnome herself is still alive, at least from the neck down. As for why exactly MTV has chosen Britney for a tribute—along with the late, great Amy Winehouse—I have the answer..
- SPANK ME PLEASE!!!!

Ten Questions with “Our Hospitality”
google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
1. Welcome to Kick Acts. Tell us a little about yourself and your band and
where you can be found at on the web.
We are an old school rock and roll trio forged in steel and Los Angeles. Nature hates a vacuum, and there was a black hole, void of the all important dirty, sexy rock and roll. So we came together, forming something much bigger than our separate parts, with the singular purpose of saving your soul through the medical spiritual application of the drug that is rock and roll. We can be located on the interwebs @ www.OurHospitality.com & www.facebook.com/OurHospitality & www.youtube.com/OurHospitalityMusic
2. Who are your musical heroes, influences & why?
We are informed and inspired the rock gods of the past- The Beatles, Hendrix, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Ronnie James Dio, The Band etc. We are influenced by Eagles of Death Metal, Nirvana, Weezer, Rush, Andrew Bird, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. We are also inspired in general by post-humanism, futurism, dirty sexy rock and roll, sports, and alcohol.
3. Do you have any advice for someone just getting started in playing
music? Any pitfalls they should avoid?
Recording your gigs is a great way to get better. In the heat of the moment, it’s easy to think you sounded great or terrible depending on a crowd’s energy- listening back critically and always improving is the key. Other than that- practice, practice, practice!!
4. Do you have a greatest gig story you’d like to share?
Our favorite gig was opening up for Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) and the Coattail Riders. Taylor is a goddamn rock and roll God, and playing on the same bill as him was an absolute dream. There were lots of cool folks in the audience like Flea, Chad Smith and Pat Smear. To top it all off, Jesus of the Sunset Strip was even in attendance.
5. On the same token as the above question. How about a “worse gig” ever
story.
So far we’ve had an amazing string of great gigs. Wish we had some killer story but the rock gods have been on our side and have blessed us with some kick ass experiences.
6. Do you have any other hobbies other than playing music? Collect stamps?
Collect hats from off the side of the road? Draw pictures of boobs?
Libby and Dash are filmmakers. Libby has her MFA in Directing and Editing from USC, and Dash is an Emmy Award nominated TV producer and an aspiring writer. Phil brews his own mead (honey wine), plays dominoes, and does scrimshaw. We all are really active and believe that hiking, running, and exploring nature is a great way to feed the soul and help inspire our musical endeavors.
7. What do you think about the present music scene or lack of here in the area? Care to address that?
No matter where you are and no matter what scene is around you, you have the power to create and share music with those around you. We believe any opportunity to play live is as important as the next whether 5 people or 300 people are there to listen. So whether a scene is over-saturated with bands or under-saturated with opportunities there is always the chance to be heard, have fun and make a difference.
8. Tell us something about each of your band members that we wouldn’t
expect to hear… Like their hobbies or something like that…
Libby was on the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team staff for the 2010 (South Africa) World Cup and was on the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team staff for the 2011 (Germany) Women’s World Cup as a team videographer. Phil brews mead (honey wine) in his apartment. Dash is currently producing a documentary about The Tea Party.
9. Hypothetical situation. You’re stranded on Gilligan’s island and you get
to hook up with only one of the girls… Is it Ginger, Mary Ann or Mrs. Howell
and why?
Luckily for us, we all have different tastes.
Phil- Ginger “she’s a movie star, duh.”
Libby-The Professor “smart is sexy”
Dash – Mrs Howell “older women are experienced”
10. # 10 is called “Shout It Out Loud”. It’s were you get to talk about
whatever you want to talk about. So go ahead and “SHOUT
IT OUT LOUD”!
Rock n roll is here to stay. Plug in and turn it up – if your parents yell at you just pop in your headphones but keep it rolling.
