  • Huge Concerts at The Berlin Wall: David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Roger Waters and More

    It's bizarre to think that at some point not too long ago, the Berlin Wall still served as a brutal barrier between East and West Berlin. East Germans could be killed for trying to cross the barrier, forbidden from visiting (or fleeing) to the other side. As with nearly all major world events, musicians were among the most proactive activists in demonstrating against what the structure represented. Check out five huge shows that have occurred at the site both before and after its fall 25 years ago.

  • Robert Plant Reportedly Ripped Up an $800 Million Led Zeppelin Reunion Contract

    Pretty much everyone wants Led Zeppelin to reunite except Robert Plant. Even the financial power of Virgin billionaire Richard Branson could not get the legendary band to perform together.According to "The Mirror," the frontman ripped up a reunion contract promising $800 million for a reunion tour in front of a room full of promoters. The deal included an evenly distributed revenue split for Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones. Jason Bonham, who would have filled in for his father and original Led Zep drummer John, would have been a salaried player. The rest of the band had signed the contract by the time it got to Plant and his team."Jimmy, John and Jason signed up immediately," a source close to the band told the newspaper. "It was a no-brainer for them but Robert asked for 48 hours to think about it. When he said no and ripped up the paperwork he had been given, there was an enormous sense of shock."

  • Knife Party's Album 'Abandon Ship' Leaks 3 Weeks Early on iTunes [LISTEN]

    There is one last twist in the long and arduous journey for Knife Party's long-anticipated and delayed album "Abandon Ship." Just when it seemed like the album when all set and ready to go with a special marketing plan in place, the album sprung a leak and was put on iTunes three weeks early, causing it to shoot instantly all the way up to No. 3 on iTunes's overall album charts in the United States, No. 2 in Australia and No. 4 in the U.K., according to Mixmag.Often times artists purposefully "leak" songs as a way of building hype for an album for another project, but this appears to be an accident that went well for Knife Party and Big Beat/Atlantic.The album was scheduled for release Nov. 24, the same day as David Guetta's sixth artist album "Listen." A full slate of promos was set up over the next few weeks, including an album premiere on Thump and then a special album feature and interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio One. With the album out now, three weeks early, it does not seem like pre-album marketing is necessary anymore.

  • Los Angeles DJ Vick One Calls Out Logic for "Overrated" 'Under Pressure'...But His Own Logic is Downright Offensive
