Ex Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist is back with a new album!!! I realize there aren't all that many rock fans on this board but for those of you who do like it you should really do yourself a favor and check it out!!

The new single is called 'Followed the Waves' and it rules. It reminds me of the good old days of grunge :)

It has a crap load of guest appearances too from James Iha (Pumpkins/APC), Jeordie White aka: Twiggy Ramirez (Marilyn Manson/APC), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters).

I've heard the whole album and it is definitely a treat to listen to... especially in a time where all rock pretty much sounds like the same regurgitated shit.

It's official that 99.9% of the people on this board have shitty taste

One of the best female bassists out there with a killer new album and no responses... if it ain't rave we don't want it! :PartEkid:

Such a disappointment...

Good on her for realizing her former lead singer is a loser and going solo.

Haha...Just as I told when you sent me this "awesome song".

It sucks!

Alright, I'll give credit she has a good voice but the tune just doesn't seem to work. The beginning actually isn't half bad (except the first 30secs) but then it goes into this Indian style music that doesn't really work. Her voice is very reminiscent of the lead singer from Evanescence.

I hated Velvet Revolvers single and I haven't counted them out yet. Hopefully the next track they release won't be as abysmal.

I love Melissa...she's so talented and fucking hot.

and I love Twiggy...both Twiggy's the model and the bassist...but i love the bassist more.
