Lou Reed & Metallica - The View

Love it. Metallica is great. Lou Reed is great. People are just shocked and do not know how to react to it. I have never heard of Lou before this project was announced and I was like "What will it be like?" but now since I have listened this song, I am very impressed and I am looking forward to the rest of the songs. Thanks Lou and Metallica! :)

The "True Glam Rock"

The only band — and I'm not saying it because we're here (Sweden Rock Festival) — the only band that did pull it off was Hanoi Rocks. I thought Hanoi Rocks were a good band, and they looked… Michael Monroe (Hanoi frontman) was one of the best… I would have shagged him. [Laughs] I like Michael, I think he's sexy, and I'm not gay. And I think Andy McCoy (Hanoi guitarist) does the best kind of Keith Richards... so much better than Mötley Crüe or Poison or any of those bands. They (Hanoi Rocks) were real — the rest of the guys, it was all a bit fake for me."  — Joe Ellliott

       Hanoi Rocks is cited as one of the most influential glam metal bands of all time in Metal: A Headbanger's Journey document movie.

American TV Channel VH1 named the top "hair bands" of all time, and Hanoi Rocks was at number 40. When Sam Yaffa was asked about it, he replied: "We were a hat band, not a hair band!".

Lana Del Rey

in my opinion, this young lady is very unique when singing, because she can sing with a different voice, that voice of the little girl and woman.

the voice difference was very obvious, when she sang a song called "Born To Die"

Nikki Says

"There's things that I see where I go, 'Rock Star energy drink? Give a fucking break,'" Sixx says. "There's no rock stars involved in this. There's a lot of shit out there where people are calling it 'rock.' I went into Barnes & Noble the other day, and there's a huge display that says 'rock & roll,' and it had a big thing of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. I went, 'What the fuck is this?' People are believing that shit that is not rock & roll, is not the rock lifestyle, is rock."

Gateway Arch

The tallest national monument in America is steel arches towering at a height of 630 feet (192 m) above the River Mississipi, St. Louis, Missouri. Its shape is very large but the design is very smooth. The arch forms the center of the Jefferson Memorial Park, which was founded in 1935 to commemorate the expansion of the American frontier to the West side in the 19th century. Although always wanted to build a monument in the Park, the project is at the stop during World War II. It was not until 1948, held a competition to design the monument with a first prize worth 50,000 dollars. Many leading architects participated in this competition, but the winner, Eero Saarinen, is an architect who is not so famous Finland, proposed a plan that he characterized as a stunning "works of all time". Curved structure is inspired by the classical tradition which is usually in the form of large monuments. However, the monument is the simple unadorned structure or detail that stands as a gateway to the huge open space on the West side.

 

 

 

Up and Down

    Because of its curved, this monument using conventional elevators were impractical. Therefore, the transport system was specifically created to reach the observation gallery. From the basement, capsule-shaped train ride on its feet, spinning 155 degrees when walking in the tracks curved upper side of the metal to the tip of the lower part of the arch. Each train consists of eight capsules and five seats for passengers, took four hours to reach the place there is a gallery, a space to contain 150 people. To come down from the arch it takes three minutes.

 

Best Design

 
     Unfortunately, Saarinen, who died in 1951 at the age of 41 years, the have never seen the projects realized. Gateway Arch construction finally began in February 1965. Although its performance is smooth, its structure has incredible power which is designed to withstand tornadoes.
