Well, it’s that time of year again when we here at the Live4ever Ezine begin to trail back through 12 months worth of musical delights in a vain attempt to group our favourites of 2011 into some sort of coherent list we like to call Live4ever’s Essential Listening.

It just wouldn’t be November without a visit by Motorhead to the Academy, but despite the predictability of the annual event it is testament to their longevity that the venue is once again full to capacity. Even the usual touts that loiter around nearby Bridge Street underground station have nothing left to offer, and those poor souls who had turned up hopefully in their band t-shirts without a brief have resorted to begging for spares.

Veteran rockers Motorhead have released details of a UK tour to commence in November.

Foo Fighters have released the details of their eagerly anticipated seventh studio album, which will be released on April 12th.

There’s plenty of competition amongst the rich glitterati who call the Hollywood Hills their home, but according to Greg Olliver, co-director of the upcoming documentary film Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne has the grandest home of any rock star currently residing in Los Angeles.
