Anti-Illuminati Truth Music, Bone Thugs Killuminati Video 2011, Interview Exposing Music Industry


Bone Thugs sold over 35 million records(OVER 500 MILLION DOLLARS) but the illuminati music industry stole their money…More & more rappers nowadays are speaking up against the Illuminati & their plan for population control & a New World Order. Rappers are using their influence to educate their fans worldwide about the TRUTH & I admire them for that. WE NEED MORE RAPPERS LIKE BONE THUGS IN THIS RAP GAME!!! There is no doubt that the Illuminati is for real & they are desperate to control the masses. They’ve been active for thousands of years their secret societies can be traced back since Babylon in the ancient world. Do some research… I recommend watching my other videos to see how the banksters rule the world. THEIR PLAN IS REAL & IT’S A BIG DANGER TO THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY ON THIS EARTH! THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED! We all need to educate each other about this major conspiracy on humanity & unite, it’s the only way we can defeat them… We always hear the same bull**** on MTV or on the radio everyday.. now that’s a big conspiracy because it’s no secret that there’s a lot of very talented rappers out there who never get their chance to shine because they refuse to “dumb it down”. They have all the talent in the world & they would make the record labels tons of money if only they were allowed to get a piece of the spotlight like a 50 Cent or Lil’ Wayne… but no, because they speak the truth, they can’t get the same opportunities. It’s CRAP! Nothing wrong with Lil’ Wayne or

Halestorm Interview Lzzy Hale 2010


Check out my backstage interview with Halestorm lead singer Izzy Hale at Rockfest 2010. Halestorm is a hard rock band from Red Lion, Pennsylvania. The band was formed by siblings Izzy and Arejay Hale, who have been playing music together in a band since they were in middle school. Even before they were signed to a record deal, the band garnered national attention through appearances in various media outlets and rock magazines. The band’s big break however came in 2006 when they signed to Atlantic Records. Within a few months Halestorm was out on the road with established acts like Seether, Shinedown and Flyleaf promoting their debut EP. In 2007 Halestorm made their national television debut, appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The band also continued to tour nationally with more popular acts like Trapt, Chevelle and STAIND. But it wasn’t until 2009 that Halestorm really started to blow up with the release of their self titled debut album. Featuring the smash hits I Get Off and It’s Not You, the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums Chart. Later that year, Izzy Hale was named one of the hottest girls in metal by Revolver Magazine and was featured on the cover. Halestorm’s drummer Arejay was later featured in Modern Drummer Magazine as well. With all of the new buzz around the band, as well as tours lined up with Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed in the summer, it appears that this once small family act from Pennsylvania will join the ranks of other

INTERVIEW/PROFILE/TRIBUTE: Interview: Berry Gordy Jr. (Part 2)
Meeting Berry Gordy Jr. while on assignment for the Wall Street Journal last week was quite a thrill. Having listened to Motown records since I’m a kid, it was quite something to spend an hour and a half with the person who built the label from scratch and developed the talent. And all of those skills Mr. Gordy learned on his own, without an apprenticeship or a relative in the business…

Avenged Sevenfold Interview Synyster Gates Backstage 2009


Check out my backstage interview with Avenged Sevenfold guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance Avenged Sevenfold is a rock band from Huntington Beach, California. The band originated when lead singer M. Shadows came up with the name “Avenged Sevenfold” when referencing the story of Cain and Abel from the bible. Shortly after the band released their debut album Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, which was recorded when most of the band members were still in high school. After signing to Hopeless Records, Avenged Sevenfold released their sophomore album Waking The Fallen and began to receive national attention from publications like The Boston Globe. The band’s music video for Unholy Confessions began to get rotation on MTV, and the act was invited to play on the 2004 Van’s Warped Tour. In 2005 Avenged Sevenfold left Hopeless Records and signed to Warner Brothers Music. The band’s third album City of Evil was the first to be released on a major record label, and subsequently debuted at #30 on the Billboard Charts. In 2006 Avenged Sevenfold surprised everyone by winning the MTV Video Music Award for “Best New Artist” beating out superstars like Rihanna, Chris Brown and Panic! At The Disco. This was one of several indications that the band’s popularity was approaching superstar status. After headlining the Van’s Warped Tour again that summer, Avenged Sevenfold released their fourth self titled album. The record debuted at #3 on the Billboard Charts and featured two of the

Michael Buble interview on ROVE (Australia) 2008


Irresponsible Michael Buble on ROVE (live in studio with Rove McManus). Jack Black on the couch. Original upload: 54584+ views. If the name Bublé was in the dictionary, it would read: all-out entertainer, talented, charismatic, sexy, spirited, cheeky, hard working, and hugely popular! Michael Bublé’s origins are humble and his story is one that people never tire to hear. The son of a fisherman, his love of music was keenly developed by his grandfather (a plumber) who bribed club owners in their home town of Vancouver to allow Michael the opportunity to perform. His performance at the Canadian Prime Minister’s daughter’s wedding, and consequent meeting with fellow Canadian high achiever and record producer David Foster, led to Bublé signing with the major record label Warner Bros. Records – and the rest is musical history! He’s sold in excess of 17 million albums around the globe and his album Call Me Irresponsible snagged a Grammy this year. Michael is back in Australia and in the midst of his national tour, and will be joining Rove in the studio for a chat. Bublé’s loves us and we love him here at Rove, and with that amount of love in the room, anything could happen. Who would Michael Buble turn gay for? Hilarious interview as seen on Rove.

Their new album is named after the airport abbreviation codes for Gainesville, Florida. JR talks about the business side of the band and their new record label. Less Than Jake jumped to and from major labels over the last decade and finally decided to start their own record label and hold onto control of all music, merchandise, and live shows. The interview runs just under thirty minutes, but the points he talks about are very important for anyone who is in an independent band. Less Than Jake have been together doing their music for over fifteen years, and expect to see them for at least another fifteen to come! The video includes live performances of Does The Lion City Still Roar, Johnny Quest Thinks We’re Sellouts, and All My Best Friend Are Metalheads.
