They are the voice behind the hit single, “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race”, which reach the number 2 slot on the Billboards Hot 100 on February 2007. They are one of the best known emo bands in the country. Fall Out Boy came from the suburbs of Chicago and got their name at a show they played while still nameless. A fan yelled out Fall Out Boy when they asked for suggestions and it stuck from there. Even though they emerged on the scene with an underground sound, Fall Out Boy has pop appeal and they have become a big part of the modern music scene, so much so that they headlined the 2007 Honda Civic Tour.
It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, what matters most is how many times you get up when you fall. Eventhough Britney Spears’ 2007 album Blackout was her first in 4 years, she hardly spent her time off out of the spotlight. In fact, for awhile it seemed like Ms. Spears had dropped the mantle of famous pop idol and decided to be an infamous has-been instead. Though Blackout went platinum its performance was still disappointing as it sold only a third of the copies of 2003’s In the Zone. Critics claimed that Spears’ career was over. However, Britney clearly isn’t one to quit and slink away – her latest album, 2008’s Circus, has already spawned the #1 hit single “Womanizer” and Britney is gearing up for a tour to support the album in 2009 named ‘The Circus Starring: Britney Spears’. Though she may have gone through a lot in the past 5 years, she hasn’t lost her sense of humor! Britney is back to top form and fans can’t wait to see her live.

He was honored by the Rolling Stone Magazine as the third greatest guitarist of all time. B.B. King made his reputation as one of the most respected and successful blues musician in the world.

He was noted as the 14th Greatest Guitarist of All Time by the Rolling Stone Magazine. He is also one of the three famous guitarists of the group The Yardbirds including Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. I am proud to be a fan of Jeff Beck and eagerly waiting for his election in the 2009 Rock amd Roll Hall Of Fame. Though he haven’t achieved the popularity of most of his colleagues, he had garnered four Grammy Awards for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and 2 hit albums as a solo act. While Beck was not the first rock guitarist to experiment with electronic distortion, he nonetheless helped to redefine the sound and role of the electric guitar in rock music. Beck’s work with The Yardbirds and The Jeff Beck Group’s 1968 album Truth were seminal influences on heavy metal music, which emerged in full force in the early 1970s. Jeff Beck is still highly influential with many modern guitarists, who cite him as a major influence on their playing.
