Not many bands succeed in going through decades and music trends always achieving success and being appreciated both by critics and by different generations of music lovers, as if the passing of time, exactly as happens for wine, could only bring advantages to them. Depeche Mode certainly belong to this category.
Depeche Mode, born in 1980, have been one of the most important bands of that decade, and they have been able to renew themselves without rejecting their past, realising successful records also in the 90s and succeeding in carrying their music into the new millennium. With the publication of the new album Sounds of the Universe, this year in April five fingers shoes , the band is celebrating an almost 30 years long career (the first album, Speak & Spell, was published in 1981), 30 years marked by ups and downs cheap five fingers , by great success, by songs and concerts that went down in history but also by crisis, abandonment and recommencements, 30 years that have turned the band into a landmark in world’s music panorama.
To listen to the songs of the new album, which has hit charts at number one in 20 countries in the first week after its publication, while in other 10 countries (even in the United States, a traditionally difficult market for British bands, but not for Depeche Mode) it has moved up to the first 3 positions, the fans of the band will take part in one of the concerts of the long promotional tour of the new album: the “Tour of the Universe” will kick off in Tel Aviv on May 10th (the band was supposed to play in Israel during their previous tour in 2006, but the event was cancelled due to war), and will then go on all over the world. Italian fans shall book a guest house in Rome on June the 16th: the band will play at the Olimpico Stadium (in Italy they will also perform in Milan on June the 18th), for a concert that is expected to be unforgettable: Depeche Mode are very appreciated not only for their records, but also for their live exhibitions ralph lauren polo , and in this sense Italy seems to bring them luck, as in 2006, during the “Touring the Angel” tour, they chose an Italian city, Milan, to record a date of their tour and realise a DVD (Touring the Angel: Live in Milan).
This is a unique chance to visit Rome and take part in one of the most important music events of this summer at once, an event that will most probably be sold out (you’d better hurry up if you want to buy the last tickets and find a lodging in Rome), a concert that will give the fans of Depeche Mode the possibility to listen to old and new songs, like the singles taken from the new album, Wrong and Peace. Moreover the “Tour of the Universe” is the first ever stadium tour of the band, and also for this reason it is expected to attract a huge number of people and to match, and maybe surpass, the record of sold tickets in Europe during their previous tour.
Tickets: 41,40 – 57,50 euro Date: 16th June 2009 Location: Olimpico Stadium, Rome, Italy

Guitar Mastery For Beginners – How To Change Guitar Strings
Thursday, February 9th, 2012At some point, all guitarists need to be taught how to change the strings on their guitar. Now and again you’ll be forced to change one when a string snaps. But usually, you’ll simply want to change them, as strings lose their brightness and wear out.
The amount of time you leave between change strings varies depending on several factors. If you play your guitar frequently, then you might like to change your strings once a week or once a month.
Most expert guitarists tend to replace their strings before each gig. But in the end, it all comes down to a matter of personal preference. Something to bear in mind if you’re using your guitar for a gig, is that your strings need a few hours of play to break in properly. All through this time, your strings will go out of tune as they stretch so you’ll have to retune.
Anyway, here’s what you do: Remove the old strings by detuning the machine heads until the tension becomes loose enough to allow you to pull each string away from the headstock.
A further quick way to remove the old strings is to snip them using a pair of wire cutters. Be very cautious if you do it this way, and make sure they are loose, since the bare ends of the strings can be sharp and easily flap around. Bare guitar strings are amongst the many things you DO NOT want to catch in your eye.
How you go about installing your new strings will ordinarily depend on the type of guitar you have, as many guitars have slightly altered methods. However, the strings are as a rule held in place at one end by fixtures behind or on the bridge, and at the other by turning the machine head on the headstock.
Here’s a small insider tip guitarists have been using for years to get more life from your steel strings once you’ve removed them: Boil them.
Dropping a set of strings into a pan of boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes will remove a lot of the grimy build up and bring a new life back to what would otherwise be lifeless strings.
It won’t last for very long, and you can’t get away with doing it too many times, but it can be an successful temporary measure.
I wouldn’t suggest you rely on this practice too much, strings aren’t too expensive – and using new strings saves you a lot of hassle.
Despite of what kind of guitar you have, your strings need to be stretched after you’ve put them on. When you first tune your guitar, put your hand under each string around the pickup area, pull the string a few centimeters away from the fretboard, then release it. If the pitch has dropped, retune and repeat the process. Keep doing this until all the strings stay in tune.
On most electric guitars the strings are either held at the bridge end by an independent tailpiece (like most Gibson guitars), or passed through the body of the instrument from the back into an all-in-one bridge unit (like most fender style guitars).
At one end of each steel string, you will find a tiny disc of metal around which one end of the string is wrapped. This is called the ball end.
Take the opposite end of the string and thread it through the fixture at the bridge.
Pull the string through until the ball end stops you from pulling the string any more.
Most electric and steel-string guitars use a related system for securing strings at the machine head. The capstan to which the string is attached stands out vertically from the headstock. Strings can be passed through a hole in the side of the capstan.
The end is then passed around and under, trapping it in place when the machine head is tightened. Some capstans have vertical slots instead of holes. To use these, cut the string to length, and insert into the tip of the capstan. Then bend the string to one side and wind it around.
This leaves the string endings neat and tidy. Here’s what you do next: Little by little turn the machine head for each string, increasing the tension until the string becomes suitably tight.
To save yourself time and energy, you can use a cheap plastic string winder, which simply fits over the machine head allowing you to crank it along more quickly. Review of the best programs
