I have been listening to this CD: Skin and bones, an acoustic live CD from Foo Fighters. It's so awesome, I always love how beautiful songs become when they're played acoustically.

Mean while since last week I started reading this biography of Dave Grohl : Nothing to lose, which I bought in Ipswich, England last year. It's so interesting to follow his life since Scream, Nirvana and now Foo Fighters. He's such a decent and fun guy.

Incubus has been forced to postpone the remaining dates of their European tour and planned South American tour (complete list below) as the result of an injury to guitar player Mike Einziger’s hand. It has been determined by Mike’s doctors that surgery is the most viable option for enabling a fast and full recovery. The expected healing time is 8-12 weeks.

All of the members in Incubus wish to express their apologies to fans holding tickets for the postponed concerts. Details for the rescheduled shows will be announced soon. For continued updates please check Enjoy Incubus, Incubus' MySpace or on this page.

I was quite late to watch Duke Spirit, the opening act. Good, because I didn't have any mood to watch them.

After 3 guys who went to the top of the podium for light effect, the band finally showed up. I stood quite close to the podium, I could see Brandon clear, Mike not so clear, DJ Kilmore and Jose- if I got very lucky-, but I could see Ben the most. He was very nice, smiled along the show.

When AKTSOF was played, everybody -who was mostly teenage girls and boys- started jumping and pushing each other. I was pissed off and decided to move aside to the people who looked my age or older, who didn't act stupidly like calling Brandon in every end of the songs, like this girl who screamed, "Brandon, marry me!"
Yeah, right.

Brandon didn't say much, only "F**k ya, we're glad to be here" blablabla. He said they're happy because after this they would be more relaxed before continuing the tour on 18 in Prague. He didn't communicate with audiences, he sang false in AKTSOF, but the whole show was a blast. Drive in accoustic version made me shivering and Wish you were here made me sigh, hoping that my birthday friend, Adhe, was there with me.

Sick sad little world and Circles were played awesomely. Brandon played jembe in SSLW and performed his famous light gloves. I still don't get it why they chose Megalomaniac as their last song. I really miss Privilige, Pardon Me and Warmth, I hope they will play them in June...

FROM EDDIE
March 8, 2007

I would like Van Halen fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you there is no Van Halen.

I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That’s why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110% that I feel I owe you and want to give you.

Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my ability to change and change for the better. I want you to know that is exactly what I’m doing, so that I may continue to give you the very best I am capable of.

I look forward to seeing you in the future better than ever and I thank you with all my heart.

Love,

Ed

I've been trying to find video of Velvet Revolver playing their song, but can't find one til now...

The Police will perform in Amsterdam Arena on 13 September 2007. The ticket will be sold this Friday.

Countdown to Incubus concert on 16 March, I try to stop listening to their songs until the concert. I hope I can control myself. It's been the 5th day and it's not easy!

I dreamed listening to them last night...
