Hollywood Undead

Hollywood Undead’s J-Dog and Funny Man give ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino an exclusive look at what’s spinning around in their iTunes…

A Taste:

Queens of the Stone Age, AC/DC, Perish

Hollywood Undead have a whole arsenal of influences. That’s precisely why their sound is so enigmatic and edgy.

On Desperate Measures, Hollywood Undead further carve out a style that’s all their own. Industrial gnashing gives way to massive rock n’ roll choruses and some of the most raucous raps to ever be committed to tape. “Explosive” doesn’t even begin to describe just how fiery Hollywood Undead’s latest musical time bomb is…

In order to get closer to their music, Hollywood Undead’s J-Dog and Funny Man shared their playlists with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive interview.

Check out their playlists below and pick up Desperate Measures now!

J- Dog’s Playlist:

1. The Sleeping

J-Dog: I’m listening to this band called The Sleeping that we toured with. They sound like a mix between At the Drive-in and Murder City Devils. They’re really good. Funny Man’s been into Bring Me The Horizon. We played some shows with them in England, so he’s been listening to them nonstop. I was into them, now he started listening to them. The Sleeping’s one of the only new bands I’ve been listening to recently though.

Backstreet Boys

AJ McClean whips out his iPod and gives ARTISTdirect.com a tour of his current playlist for this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Flo Rida, Hollywood Undead, Stevie Wonder, Massive Attack

Backstreet Boys are back, and they’re ready for pop supremacy once more. Most likely, girls worldwide are already rejoicing at just the thought of their new album This Is Us dropping on October 6th, 2009. However, they’ve also got a massive jaunt planned as well.

Right now, everyone’s favorite pop group is rehearsing pretty hardcore in a Los Angeles rehearsal studio for what’s bound to be their most epic and bombastic tour yet. AJ McLean took some time to talk to ARTISTdirect.com about what’s on his iPod right now though. It’s very surprising.

Check out AJ’s playlist below and catch the Backstreet Boys soon…

They’re baaaackkkk…

AJ McLean’s Playlist:

1. Hollywood Undead — “Everywhere I Go”

I just heard a song last night that I’d never heard before, but I’m obsessed with it now. The song is Hollywood Undead’s “Everywhere I Go.” Dude, check it out! It’s amazing. On the chorus it talks about Charlie Sheen’s little weenie and how he loves to show it to everyone [Laughs]. Oh my God, this song is freaking brilliant! That is my new favorite thing right now.

Saliva

Saliva drummer Paul Crosby opens up his iTunes and shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature

A Taste:

Hollywood Undead, Killswitch Engage, Halestorm

Saliva drummer Paul Crosby was on a brief break from the road, but that didn’t stop him from providing ARTISTdirect.com with his Top 5 playlist. Saliva issued their fifth album for Island, Cinco Diablo, at the tail end of last year. 2009 sees the band remaining on tour. After the break, they will appear this spring on the resurrected Sno Core® tour as a featured attraction. Here’s what Crosby is rocking and not surprisingly, it’s mostly rock and metal.

Paul is totally proud of what’s rocking his world when he’s not rocking yours!

Paul Crosby’s Playlist:

1. Hollywood Undead

2. Halestorm

“They have a new album coming out on Atlantic. We just got off tour with them and Shinedown, so I’ve been listening to them.”
