One of the artists wHO helped the inception of the style known as Brazilian stone emerged in the '80s. Lobão besides has a far-famed discography with expressive hits recorded by Marina and Nelson Gonçalves, among others, and promoted important discussions on the obscure subject of artistic rights in Brazil.


After his stretch in the important group Vímana, Lobão began to work as a self-employed drummer, appearance on Fagner's LP Ave Noturna. He besides worked in that phase for Marina, Luiz Melodia, Walter Franco, Gang 90 & As Absurdettes, Lulu Santos, Ritchie, and Blitz. In 1981, he recorded his first solo LP, the sovereign Cena de Cinema. Several of its songs became classics of the nascent Brazilian rock, such as "Cena de Cinema," "O Homem-Baile," and "Cupid de Retrovisor." One of the founders of Blitz (together with Ricardo Barreto and Evandro Mesquita), the group would be a milestone in the consolidation of the Brazilian rock stylus. In the huge success of the early times, Blitz recorded the first album (As Aventuras da Blitz) with Lobão, but he derelict the grouping and its succeeder, nettled with its commerce. It was then when he finally convinced RCA to liberation his Cena de Cinema, which was unpublished until that time. Organizing the band Lobão e Seus Ronaldos, he recorded the new wave/techno pop album Ronaldo Foi Pra Guerra (1984) with "Me Chama." But the other members, among diatribes involving a junkie girlfriend of one of them, prohibited Lobão from his own band in that same year. In the adjacent twelvemonth, he worked as an actor in the celluloid Areias Escaldantes (Francisco de Paula). In March 1986, subsequently an captivity for marijuana and cocain possession, he released the record album O Rock Errou, where the death of Júlio Barroso (Gang 90) elysian a down button. Sambista Elza Soares appeared on the album, which pioneered in the rock/samba crossing over and the album sold C,000 copies. In 1987, Lobão recorded his "A Deusa do Amor" (with Bernardo Vilhena) with the old tuner years phenomenon Nelson Gonçalves (a rehabilitated junky) and was arrested twice due to do drugs possession, outlay a "season" at Ponto Zero while he recorded Vida Bandida, which sold 300,000 copies. Cuidado (1988) brought a more explicit approximation with arere via Ivo Meirelles. In November, condemned to captivity, he ran from the country until the sentence became empty in 1989. In that period, he recorded Shortness of breath o Sol de Parador. Vivo, his one-seventh album, with the involvement of the drum discussion section of the Mangueira triplochiton scleroxcylon school, was recorded live during the São Paulo and Rio editions of the II Hollywood Rock, where a pate revealed that Lobão had been the best performance in the audience's legal opinion. In 1995, he released Nostalgia da Modernidade and by and by became again the polemic epicentre of a treatment involving recording labels and artists, as he distributed his album via newsstands. In 1998, he released Noite, which exploited techno pop as critique, and in the year 2000 he promoted more than polemics defending the biotic community radios and denouncing the communication system of rules in Brazil as being a politicians' feud.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler Says He's In Rehab To Treat Foot Pain: 'I Really Needed A Safe Environment To Recuperate'




A week after checking into a Pasadena, California, rehabilitation facility for undisclosed reasons, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, 60, has broken his silence. Despite unconfirmed reports that the rehab stint was due to substance-abuse issues, Tyler, who has been sober for more than 20 years, said in a statement released Thursday that the hospitalization was to get some rest following a series of painful surgeries and physical therapy to correct longtime foot injuries sustained during his legendarily athletic live performances.

"The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it would require a few surgeries over time," Tyler said in the statement. "The 'foot repair' pain was intense, greater than I'd anticipated. The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet. Make no mistake, Aerosmith has no plans to stop rocking. There's a new album to record, then another tour."

The statement did not address why Tyler checked into a rehab facility best known as the center where addiction specialist and radio talk-show host Dr. Drew Pinsky practices, which was also the setting for his recent "Celebrity Rehab" reality series. Tyler's publicist said there was no further information on when the singer checked in, how long he will be hospitalized, why he did not address the situation earlier or if, as reported by some media outlets, his stay was tied to his sobriety. After many years of drug and alcohol abuse in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tyler has said he's been sober since 1986.

Blender magazine spoke to Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry just a few days after the news about Tyler broke, and the singer's longtime bandmate had little to say about the surprise hospitalization. "I actually haven't talked to [Steven] in a while. We spend most of our time off the road split up — that's just how it goes," Tyler reportedly told the magazine. Asked what might have caused Tyler to check into the facility, Perry, who was walking with a cane after a recent knee-replacement surgery, said, "I'm not sure, but I hope he's doing okay."

Best remembered for soft-rock perennials like "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" and "I'd Love You to Want Me," Lobo was the assumed name of singer/songwriter Roland Kent LaVoie, born July 31, 1943 in Tallahassee, FL. At 17 he joined the Rumors, whose ranks also included future luminaries like country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons, country-pop compartmentalise Jim Stafford, and illustrious drummer Jon Corneal. From at that place LaVoie accompanied the University of South Florida, connection the Sugar Beats and fashioning his recorded debut on their 1964 single "What Am I Doing Here?" Although the group proved passing, it inaugurated a protracted collaborationism between LaVoie and bandmate Phil Gernhard, world Health Organization would later bring forth all of Lobo's hits; together they besides helmed the Jim Stafford favorites "Spiders & Snakes" and "Wildwood Weed." Stints in the Little-Known Uglies and Me & the Other Guys followed earlier LaVoie issued his debut solo single, "Happy Days in New York City," in 1969. Two age later, he recorded "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo"; detection the song's hit potentiality -- but besides wary of succumbing to one-hit-wonder freshness position -- he adopted the Lobo soubriquet, and after the single cracked the Top Five in the spring of 1971, many fictitious the record was the product of a group and non a solo pretend. The album Introducing Lobo also yielded the minor hits "I'm the Only One" and "California Kid."


Whatever his original intentions, LaVoie maintained the Lobo assumed name for the follow-up, 1972's Of a Simple Man, and the gambit worked; the album scored his biggest chart hit, "I'd Love You to Want Me," as well as another Top Ten smash, "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend." With 1973's Peace pipe, Lobo earned threesome more than Top 40 hits: "It Sure Took a Long, Long Time," "How Can I Tell Her," and "Standing at the End of the Line." However, outside of "Don't Tell Me Goodnight" from the 1975 LP A Cowboy Afraid of Horses, LaVoie's commercial momentum dissolute as the decennary continued, and subsequently notching a number 23 impinge on in 1979 with "Where Were You When I Was Falling in Love," his chart run was over. After a scant remain at Elektra, in 1981 he formed his have label, Lobo Records (after rechristened Evergreen), cathartic a series of little-noticed singles before self-effacing from acting in 1985. Lobo returned to responsibility in 1989 with the Taiwanese acquittance Am I Going Crazy; his popularity in the Far East is inactive strong. In 1995 he signed to the Singapore-based Pony Canyon imprint for a number of new LPs, including Asian Moon, Sometimes, and You Must Remember This.
