.......Guns n Roses.......


Hey Rock people.....
Rockonomy has returned with one of the legendary and the greatest band ...GnR....
Although Rockonomy has featured two articles regarding GnR...but still as it is my favorite band so I would like to write some more about this band....

As mentioned earlier ..GnR was formed in 1985...it happened to be one of the most influential band in the rock history....we are going to skip the numbers(how many copies sold..number of shows etc etc)...who cares???...the only thing that matters is the magic they create by their music....

GnR released number of albums like...Appetite for Destruction....GnR Lies....Use your Illusions I n Use your Illusions II...The Spaghetti Incident...n finally the last year's album...Chinese Democracy....

Axl Rose has been always known for his rude behaviour in live performances...he has been into fights with the audiences..like in St.Louise...and many times he just stopped singing when any of the audience threw something on stage...always passing comments and all.....but still his energy and charisma made the live performances the best any rock band could give....and of course here was Slash too.....

Everyone knows about the dissociation of GnR in mid 90's...
Their have been changes in band's line up every couple of years...but the main people always stayed until the disputes between Slash (my guitar Idol) and Axl Rose which led to complete deterioration of the band....everyone left except for the keyboard guy....

The magic of Slash in the numbers like Sweet Child o' mine(my personal fav)...back off bitch...November Rain...Bad obsession...Its so easy...Civil War....etc etc began to fade due to his absence.....Slash along with the rhythm guitarist and drummer went to Velvet Revolver (that too experiencing various controversies).....

The Main thing is not only according to me but all the GnR fans agree with me that Guns n Roses is dead.....But its legacy has not ended.....You can still listen to their previous covers..and one we are offering again to download or listen...The Appetite For Destruction.....

........Audioslave.........


Hey people....
Rockonomy has returned with an unconventionally band for you...its Audioslave.....The complete mixture of musicians from different backgrounds creating some of the most rocking music....

Audioslave was formed in 2001..the band always had a lot of controversies from the very start.....While talking about the name..Audioslave has an interesting story to tell..They Say that Cornell had a vision and Christ suggested him this name....
Well I don't know about the vision story but Christ did suggest them a good name....

Well the band comprises of Chris Cornell ( from Soundgarden)..Tom Morello..Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk(All from Rage Against Machines)....This amalgam of super artists did create some magic in rock history....

Well from the very start..while the release of their first album..the band was hit by inner controoversies...(some managers problems) which was resolved later and then Audioslave became the first American Rock Band to perform in Open Air Concert in Cuba....

Audioslave then released its second album..Out Of Exile....the album was a major hit..Also Audioslave was nominated for various Grammy awards and their track Like A Stone fetched them one....This Album features some of the greatest tracks ( and my personal favs) like Be Yourself...Doesn't Remind Me...Out Of Exile...etc....
Although their previous album also has some of the most fantastic numbers like I am The Highway...Like A Stone...Shadow on the Sun...Gasoline ...etc....

After Out Of Exile...Audioslave became quite popular band...the same album brought them to various charts like Billboard top 200....Although after it the band released its best album in terms of commerce..Revelations....The Album Was a major hit and success....but it was after this album that Cornell decided to leave the band maybe due to reunion of Rage Against Machine or maybe his personal desire to pursue a solo career...who knows???....And the band broke in 2007.....ending the era of such awesome guitar solos and mesmerising vocals....

Talking about their music style..Its really unique...there is a huge huge huge fan following of Chris Cornell because of his Voice and the guitar solos by Morello are just awesome..He uses the Wah Wah pedals so good....Having some funk Rock tone in their music influenced by 70's heroes Audioslave created some of the greatest music in the world.....which will be in our heart ever...

Out Of Exile(free download)

The album and the article exclusively brought to you by Rockonomy....

p.s:This is not done with Audioslave..Rockonomy will return with yet another article on Audioslave..Till then KEEP ROCKING!!!

.........Joe Satriani..........


Hello people....

Rockonomy is back with another Rockstar...This time I am not going to speak about any lyrics..or some great drum beats...because I am going to talk about the great Guitarist and instrumentalist..Joe Satriani aka 'satch"....One of the greatest guitar living on this earth....

Satch was born on 15 july 1995(his birthday is coming) in NY,US....He inclined to music at early teenage...After Jimi Hendrix's death he completely devoted himself to music..While he learned Jazz music first..he became such a fast learner that he started teaching a guy playing guitar..any guesses who that guy was?? Steve Vai...yeah right....
Later he went to pursue higher studies in music only.....

After graduating he resumed teaching...some of his famous students included..Kirk Hammett(Metallica)...David Bryson(Counting Crows)....Geoff Tyson(T- Ride)..and many more....

Eventually Joe started playing with David Roth in 1986 and in 1987 released his second album Surfing with the Alien...which was immensely popular....
Joe released many albums in the coming times and worked with some of the greatest bands like Deep Purple....The YardBirds...Steve Vai....Dream Theater...etc etc... and gave some of the finest music to us.....

Joe is a magician with guitar...some of his instrumentals just create a magic in music..Like Always with me,Always with You.....All Alone...Summer Song...The Extremist....the list is endless because Joe never stopped creating the most beautiful and finest instrumentals....

Today I am going to give you one of his greatest album..Joe satriani released in 1995...The Album contains some of his greatest solos like Down Down Down...If....Sitting Round etc.....You can Download the album for free here..or just listen to some tracks online for free....
