Foo Fighters will hit the stage at Global Citizen Festival 19:00 EDT (7:00 P.M.) later today.

As usual, there’s this little thing called Adobe Flash Player.
Foo Fighters (and iPhone 5 announcement) at Yerba Buena Center video is available
Video of Foo Fighters performance from Yerba Buena Center on September 12, 2012 is now available for streaming and download.
MC of the show, Tim Cook.
The opening act went on and on for 1 hour and 40 minutes announcing some kind of phone, music player or something like that.
This is probably the weirdest opening act to Foo Fighter show I have ever seen.
The Foos performed “Times Like These”, “My Hero” and “Walk” acoustically.
Not sure what happened at the end as Nate Mendel walked off the stage while the rest of the band stayed with Tim Cook.

The Scientific Number of The Beast.
This is the second time within 3 weeks I visited Sonic Drive-In, and I got the same total. I ordered different combo each time.
The combo includes large drinks and large Tots. It totals at $6.66 including sales tax.
I can hear myself singing:
6.66, The Scientific Number of The Beast.
I wonder if Iron MAiden would approve this version of the lyrics.
Curiosity and Curiositier.
Mars Exploration Rover is scheduled to land on the surface of Mars at 10:31 PM Pacific Time August 5th, 2012. NASA is having a special live broadcast to celebrate the mission.
It seems they are using MacBook Pros; unless those notebook computers are made by Samsung (*zing*).
According to Bad Religion’s Twitter post, “Bad Religion” and each of the guys names are written somewhere on the Curiosity.
Lamb of God: Rand Blythe’s Legal Fund
This is one piece of news that I have been wanting to post for the past two weeks or so. Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe is currently detained in Czech Republic and the bail is set around $200,000.
For those who want to contribute to Randy Blythe’s Legal Fund can make donation at Lamb of God’s Facebook page.
One hundred percent of the money raised will go to the legal fees and any remaining balance will be given to a charity of Randy’s choice upon his release.
In the United States, there is a little thing called “Due process.”
Adam Yauch of Beastie Boys died at the age of 47.
From BeastieBoys.com
Adam Yauch • 1964-2012
It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam “MCA” Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.
Rest in Peace.
P.S.
Up to this day, we still fight for our right to party.
Slayer’s Open Letter to their fans.
From Slayer.net:
AN OPEN LETTER TO SLAYER FANS AROUND THE WORLD:
…….
While Jeff’s been doing some writing and has been coming to rehearsal over the past several weeks, he has decided he needs to take more time to continue his rehab. While we want him back onstage with the band, all of us support his decision. So, we’re very grateful that Gary Holt will continue to fill in for Jeff, and will tour with us until Jeff completes his rehab and is ready to return. How long will that be? The best and most honest answer we can give you is ‘as long as it takes.’ We also wanted you to know that we’ve been doing some writing and recording for the next Slayer album – we’ve tracked a few songs, and will finish the album when we’re off the road later this year.
…….
Well wishes to Jeff Hanneman.
