MR. BIG BAND

Mr. Big is a hard rock group that formed in 1988. The band is a quartet composed of Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass), and Pat Torpey (drums); Mr Big also included Richie Kotzen, a reputable blues-based guitarist who replaced Gilbert in 1999. The band is noted especially for their musicianship, and scored a number of hits. Their songs were often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include "To Be With You" (Billboard Hot 100 number one single in 15 countries for weeks, in 1991) and "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind". Mr Big have remained active and popular for over two decades, despite internal conflicts and changing music trends. They broke up in 2002, but after requests from fans reunited in 2009; their first tour was in Japan, in June 2009. On February 1, 2009, a radio announcement for "Koh Sakai’s Burrn Presents: Heavy Metal Syndicate" contained a short message from Mr Big announcing the reunion in Japan to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their debut album. A press conference in Japan in February generated much excitement, and a tour of the country starting in June was announced, with shows in ten locations (including the Budokan). They held their first reunion concert outside Japan at Rock Cafe in Tallinn, Estonia on September 2009 continuing their tour. Warner Music Japan released remastered copies of their four studio albums, as well as a greatest hits CD and DVD. There are two bonus studio songs on the album, new track "Next Time Around", and a cover of Argent's "Hold Your Head Up"

JENGGOT KEBERUNTUNGAN MARADONA

Selalu saja ada cerita dibalik sosok Diego Maradona. Gol Tangan Tuhan ketika menyingkirkan Inggris di Piala Dunia 1986, perawatan karena kokain, penunjukan sebagai pelatih tim nasional Argentina, sampai permintaan dua toilet mewah--yang menurut cerita media lokal bernilai US$ 311 atau sekitar Rp 2,86 juta--di dua kamar mandi penginapannya selama di Afrika Selatan, selalu menjadi cerita di seluruh dunia. Nah, saat melakoni debut Piala Dunia-nya, ketika Argentina menundukkan Nigeria 1-0 di Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg, Sabtu kemarin, Maradona terlihat sedikit beda. Ia tampil resmi memakai jas! Kenapa begitu penting? Selama ini Maradona memang dikenal sebagai sosok yang ogah berpakaian rapi. Sejak ditunjuk sebagai pelatih Albiceleste tahun 2008, pemain yang mengantar Argentina menjadi juara pada 1986 itu lebih sering terlihat menggunakan kaos tim, kalau nggak training, atau ber-jaket. Sekarang tumben-tumbennya Maradona menggunakan jas. Ternyata ada alasan dibalik kenapa Maradona akhirnya mau tampil necis pada debutnya itu; permintaan putrinya Dalma dan Giannina. Dalma bersama Dalma meminta Maradona untuk tampil lebih elegan sebagai pelatih di Piala Dunia pertamanya itu. "Saya selalu meminta saran Giannina. Dia lebih tahu soal fashion daripada saya," kata Dalma yang ikut serta bersama Maradona. "Kami meminta dia memakai jas." Maradona memang dikenal sangat dekat dengan keluarganya. Ia bahkan menyebut cucunya, Benjamin--anak Giannina dengan Sergio 'Kun' Aguero yang juga striker Argentina, sebagai Cabala--jimat keberuntungan masyarakat keturunan Argentina-Spanyol. Benjamin tiba di Afsel Jumat kemarin bersama ibunya dan Claudia, istri Maradona. Yang tidak berubah adalah manik-manik Rosario serta dua jam di masing-masing tangannya. Satu untuk menunjukkan waktu lokal dan yang satu lagi waktu Argentina. Satu lagi, pelatih 50 tahun itu sekarang terlihat memelihara jenggot. Kenapa? "Dia tak pernah bercukur sejak indisen (digigit) anjing. Untuk menutupi lukanya," kata Dalma. Maradona mengalami insiden diserang oleh anjingnya sendiri pada bagian wajah, akhir Maret lalu.

WHITESNAKE BAND

Whitesnake are an English rock band, founded in 1977 by David Coverdale (formerly of Deep Purple). The band's early material has been compared by critics to Deep Purple but by the mid 1980s Whitesnake had moved away from the early blues influenced hard rock to a more commercial heavy metal style. In March 2008 Whitesnake played at the Rock2Wgtn two day festival, which also featured Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Poison, Alice Cooper and Lordi, with special effects by the Academy Award winning WETA Workshop. In April 2008 the band released their tenth studio album, Good to Be Bad, which reached #5 in the UK album chart.^[7] During the summer of 2008 Whitesnake headlined a UK tour along with Def Leppard^[8], with Black Stone Cherry opening the UK arena shows in June and Thunder opening the July shows. In early November 2008, Whitesnake received the Classic Rock Best Album award for Good To Be Bad. On February 11, 2009, Whitesnake announced they would be playing a festival slot at Download Festival, UK on June 14 via their official website. They also announced Def Leppard would be playing on the same day. It has also been announced that Whitesnake, Def Leppard and Journey will play The O2 in Dublin on June 12, 2009. On March 17, 2009, it was announced that Whitesnake will be supporting Judas Priest on the 2009 North American Summer tour. On August 11, 2009 Whitesnake was playing a show at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado when front man David Coverdale suffered a vocal injury. After seeing a specialist, it was announced on August 12, 2009 that Coverdale is suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion. The remainder of their tour with Judas Priest has been cancelled. In early February 2010, David Coverdale has announced his voice seems to have fully recovered from the trauma that sidelined him and the band on the Priest tour. He states he's been recording new demos, aiming for a new Whitesnake album, and on tape his voice is sounding full and strong.
