Music industry legend Les Paul gets saluted by a who's-who of rock guitar players...(Tuesday, August 30th) when the album Les Paul & Friends: American Made, World Played is released. It features Paul in a series of teamups with folks including ZZ Top's Reverend Billy F. Gibbons, Journey's Neal Schon, Eric Clapton, Steve Miller, Jeff Beck, Aerosmith's Joe Perry, and Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones, just to name a few.

Paul told us that he dug into his personal address book to choose the players on the album. "Most of 'em were people that are very dear friends of mine and are...I admire what they do. They're great players, but knowing 'em personally, and knowing what they can play in other types of music - back in the dressing room (chuckles) - it makes me admire 'em all the more, and it's fun to play with 'em."....

Episode 54: Military Bike 1

Junior and Senior join forces to build bikes that will be auctioned off, among other items, to benefit the families of U.S. troops seriously wounded or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. To learn more about the two charities benefiting from the auction — the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and the Fisher House Foundation — OCC takes a field trip to the USS Intrepid, the scene of their Jet Bike unveiling so many years ago. Back at the shop, Senior has his mother's Cadillac restored to its original condition, surprising her with it, as father and son work through their rivalry and get started on their bikes.

Episode 55: Military Bike 2

After a trip to the nuclear submarine USS Albuquerque for additional inspiration, Senior finishes his old-school chopper, and Junior, his more modern bike. Then it's off to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., to show the wounded troops their creations. Finally, as the auction draws near, OCC enlists the help of their celebrity friends, including Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, to obtain items to auction off and raise more money.

Hot Trumpeter Chris Botti has agreed to take 20 minutes out of his busy touring schedule to do a phone interview to promote his appearance Saturday at the JVC Jazz Festival in Concord....He's excited about a follow-up CD "Still in Love," on Columbia, coming out in October and showcasing a somewhat eclectic lineup of vocalists, including Michael Buble, Gladys Knight, Sting, Jill Scott, Paula Cole and Renee Olstead.

It also features Steven Tyler singing "Smile" with the "giant" London Symphony Orchestra, Botti says. "His vocal performance can match anyone's."

Calling it his "duets" album, he says, "People will be stunned by the non-industry vibe to the record." It seems that his friends — or people he knew through other people — jumped at the chance to play moody instrumental music. "The singers knew the template," he says. "Nobody got diva-ed out." ...

The season's deluge of CDs will test mettle and take risks

Madonna will try to rebound from the first CD bomb of her career with a striking return to dance music. The sixtysomething Rolling Stones will try to prove they can make new music that rocks as hard as their classics. And Ashlee Simpson will explicitly address the scandal over whether she can actually sing - in the lyrics of a new song. Those are just a few of the plot lines and promises lurking behind the coming season's most anticipated albums.... (One caveat: Record company release schedules fluctuate more than the stock market. These dates need to be taken with a pound of salt.)

Aerosmith - "Rockin' the Joint" A live work from the hardest working band in show business.

Newark Star Ledger, NJ
August 28, 2005

With its less-than-dignified exhortation, "Rock 'n' roll, hoochie koo, lordy mama, light my fuse," Rick Derringer's 1974 hit "Rock 'n' Roll, Hoochie Koo" is just about the last song you would expect gentlemanly nonagenarian Les Paul to record.

But there it is, on Paul's new album, "American Made World Played."

Other tracks include remakes of Robert Palmer's "Bad Case of Lovin' You" (featuring growling vocals by Billy Gibbons of Z.Z. Top) and Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle" (a collaboration with Miller himself). There is some pop, soul and funk on the album, but for the first time in Paul's nearly 70-year recording career -- which started years before rock was born -- the dominant style is rock.

"American Made World Played" comes out on the Capitol/EMI label Tuesday, less than three months after Paul's 90th birthday.

"Who at 90 years old would go play rock?" asked the guitarist and inventor during a recent backstage interview at the Manhattan jazz club Iridium, where he presents two shows every Monday night. "It's just ridiculous enough for me to do, and enjoy doing it."

Others on the album include veterans such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Aerosmith's Joe Perry, as well as relative youngsters like Joss Stone and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi joins Paul for a steamy version of Paul McCartney's "Let Me Roll It," while Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls croons the U2 song, "All I Want Is You"....

The first single from the new Santana album All That I Am is now online. The song is called "I'm Feeling You," and it teams Carlos Santana up for a second time with pop singer Michelle Branch.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler will be on the album, as will American Idol runner-up Bo Bice.

Santana has added a track with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith to his album, "All That I Am," due out Nov. 1....stay tuned.

More about it....

"All That I Am"
5/13/2005, The latest album from Carlos Santana entitled “All That I Am” is scheduled for release November 1st, 2005. Carlos has worked with several guest artists including Los Lonely Boys, Mary J Blige, Steven Tyler, will i am and Big Boi as well as his own talented band in creating a vast array of music from pop, hip-hop, Latin rock and everything in between. Some songs are still being tweaked in the studio before the final mastering.

Here is a statement from Carlos about his new CD:

“ ‘All That I Am’ is an extension and continuation of a vision co-created by Mr. Clive Davis and myself. We equate what we do with the dimensions of a three-ring circus or a Cirque du Soleil where children, teenagers, parents and grand parents can share unity and harmony in the family of life. We create songs and magic pairing to bring joy and happiness to the listener. Our deepest respect and gratitude to Clive Davis, Pete Ganbarg, Kevin Chisholm and all the artists, writers, producers and engineers.”

Love and respect,

Carlos Santana

And as long as we're on the Stones subject, the boys threw a big blowout after the Sunday night show at oh-so-swish Aujourd 'hui in the Four Seasons to kick off the Bigger Bang tour with a bang.

Mick, Keith, Ron Wood and Charlie Watts breezed through the blowout back at the fab Four after rocking Fenway Park for the first of two sold-out shows.

"It was very exclusive, very private," said Someone Who Was There. "It was just people the Stones invited, family and friends. It was a very warm intimate event. Like a reunion."

Carly Simon, who arrived at the concert with Steven Tyler, was onhand for the after-show festivities. Our spies spied her chatting up Jackson Browne, who had also taken in the show from the VIP seats. Designing divo Tommy Hilfiger was on hand with a tall blond Tommy Girl. Fergie, Will I. Am and the rest of the Black Eyed Peas, who opened for the Stones, made the scene along with ex-J. Geils frontman Peter Wolf and "Saturday Night Live" funnyman Jimmy Fallon. There was a huge buffet and the party cranked on until the wee hours. Apparently Wild Horses couldn't drag the guests out of there!

A post on the AeroFANatic Message Board reads...
August 22, 2005

"Sony/Columbia have pushed back the release date of 'Rockin The Joint.' It is now slated for an October 25th release date. This allows the album to be out 1-2 weeks before the tour starts...."

This is normally a quiet time in Boston, but more than a few folks changed their plans to make sure they were in town for the opening night of the Rolling Stones' world tour, "A Bigger Bang," last night at Fenway Park. Those on the list to see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and the rest of the gang were: Steven Tyler, who hugged Carly Simon out in front of a dugout; Whoopi Goldberg; former Massachusetts governor (and huge Stones fan) Bill Weld; "Rescue Me" creator and star Denis Leary and his buddy funnyman Lenny Clarke; and Patriots QB Doug Flutie....

...Back at Fenway, the crowds started drifting in a good hour before the Black Eyed Peas took the stage to warm up the masses. There were a number of private receptions, including Schwarzenegger's benefit before the show, a "Tickets For Charity" hoedown at Embassy and a "Start Me Up" soiree on the Green Monster for high-rollers.

Legendary rockers Steven Tyler and Peter Wolf were on hand to check out the Stones' debut along with "Rescue Me" stars Denis Leary, Lenny Clarke, and designing divo Tommy Hilfiger. Red Sox sultans John Henry, Larry Lucchino and Charles Steinberg made the rounds inside the park, while Sox base sweeper Colleen Reilly boogied on the field.

In the onstage boxes, we spied car czar Ernie Boch, Godsmack manager Paul Geary and WAAF morning man Greg Hill....

Rudy Childs remembers the good old days of the now-defunct Cape Cod Coliseum.... Seeing Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa, Foreigner and the J. Geils Band in concert meant pure freedom for an 18-year-old South Shore kid. Besides, Childs was busy documenting the big hair, tight pants and guitars of classic rock with a Kodak Instamatic camera. After seeing at least two concerts a month at the Coliseum and other venues from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, Childs estimates he shot photos at more than 600 shows around the country. His first concert? Aerosmith at the Boston Garden in 1976.

"I grew up on AM radio.... It was all rock 'n' roll from there," he said. "Seeing concerts was a natural progression. All the upperclassmen talked about the concerts they went to; when I turned 18, I saw every concert I could." Childs became a pro at pushing his way to the front row, snapping frames of a young David Lee Roth in mid-jump or a pale-faced Steven Tyler clutching his mike....

But as Childs got older, the rock life lost some of its feverish charm. Security got tighter, ticket prices went up and, as Childs said, his "mission was over".... But it's the stacks of scrapbooks and photo albums that take up the most space in his childhood home on North Avenue, where he now lives with his family. "I've got all these photos, I just want to give them the right treatment," he said. At the suggestion of his mother, Childs is now compiling a 60-page photo history of his concert experiences. He envisions a "coming-of-age book," a sort of real-life "Almost Famous" for the literary set....

...An idea is now a reality with Major League Experience, an adult fantasy baseball tour that gives adults the opportunity to live a dream by playing actual games in six different major league ballparks. "This is a true dream for a lot of people," said (Mark) Webb, a 10-year minor league veteran whose career saw him play as high as Class AAA. "This is the ultimate adult baseball league." The tour is intended to simulate, for people who never had a chance, what it would be like to be a major league player for nine days.....

The Major League Experience was made financially possible by Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, a client of Webb’s friend Dave Berman. Webb asked Berman, a financial advisor, to help find someone to put up the necessary money to help get the business venture started. Within three days, Hamilton committed. "(Hamilton is) not a big baseball guy in terms of how knowledgeable he is," Webb said. "But he understands what it’s like to have a dream and then have that dream come true." Webb’s plan is that 120 more people will soon have that same understanding.

2) POLLS: Polling feature for the main site...not just on the message board.

3) INTEGRATED LOG IN: One log in for the main site, store, and message board.

4) TOTALLY NEW MESSAGE BOARD: The same type of message board (PHPBB) BUT - it will be integrated to your main site log in. There is good news and bad news with the message board. The good is, you only have to log in once on AF1 to post on the board - either on the board itself, like you usually do, or through AF1. No more separate log ins. The bad news is, the message board is TOTALLY starting over. We can't save your ranks or your message board usernames. The old message board will be saved in an archive so you can read the posts. When you log into the new site, you can edit your "message board handle" under your profile. Pick the message board username you want. The new board will have public areas for all registered users, and members-only sections for fan club members. I know some of you will be sad to lose your ranks and start over, but this is how we have to do it.

5) Finally, an AMAZING design. The home page is SO cool and the inside content pages are beautiful. I can't wait for you guys to see it; I think you'll love it!

As for requested features like Chat, we do plan to bring it back but it's a Phase II feature. The great thing about the new website, sort of invisible to most of us users, is that it is very easy to add new features to it. This website is old and nearly impossible to build on. Smile We have really cool ideas planned for this new site though!

There will be more details on the new website launch coming soon.

Meanwhile, please do NOT try and steal someone else's message board username. AF1 has access to these profiles and will enforce the rights of their original owners to keep their message board username.

THANK YOU! Smile

- Nicole

Dave Feder -

"This Saturday was the Celebration of the Sea festival in Key Largo, and it was a great show. Lots of amazing people put their hearts and sweat into making it happen and I would love to express my humble gratitude to you all. It’s amazing to see folks from very diverse backgrounds and economic situations working together for a common worthy cause. I’m not going to name all the people who helped because it would take all day to type. But you know who you are. My special thanks goes to the people behind the scenes doing all the grunt work for the rehearsals, rigging and sound. And many hats off to the musicians from near and far. I’ll be posting all their web sites and info in the near future. There were so many highlights for me but I think the most memorable was when Nyan got up and Jammed with Sabrina, DMC and Steven Tyler, and the All Star Band! I’m not sure if he realizes yet just how cool that was."
