while MSG was unfortunately getting torn down by the heat and lebron’s triple double, its ugly cousin of a venue across state lines was also getting torn down…
last time i saw this guy was 6 years ago at msg on the musicology tour. amazing to watch this guy wrap a packed stadium full of people around his finger. still in my opinion the greatest live music experience by a solo artist you can see today, and arguably the best living guitar player there is.
“can i play guitar for you?” yes prince please go ahead and make john mayer of the douches look like a complete amateur thanks

In the words of the immortal double rainbow guy - “What does this MEAN!?”
It means a new video with a star studded cast in anticipation of Travis Barker’s latest project. In a recent HipHopDX interview Travis Barker spoke briefly on his untitled solo project: “It’s been amazing. Everyone from like RZA, and Raekwon to Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Swizz Beatz, Slaughterhouse. It’s crazy. It’s been really really fun. We just got Kurupt on a song, so I’ve been working my butt off. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Barker’s album is due out this September, more photos from the video shoot after the jump.
Now take this as you like: In his recent book, “Rock Roadie,” Hendrix’s former assistant James “Tappy” Wright claims Hendrix was murdered by his then manager Michael Jeffrey. According to Wright’s account, Jeffrey allegedly confessed to Wright that he had murder Hendrix to collect on Hendrix’s life insurance policy. At the time, Jeffrey had been written as the beneficiary of Hendrix’s $2 million life insurance policy, and according to Wright’s alleged conversation with Jeffrey from 1971, Jeffrey was worried Hendrix was going to fire him. Jeffrey, who died in 1973 in a plane crash, is quoted by Wright as saying: “I was in London the night of Jimi’s death and together with some old friends… we went round to Monika’s [Dannemann] hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth…then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe…I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive…That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I’d lose everything.” The coroner’s report stated that Hendrix died of “barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit.”
