Ike Turner Dies
Ike Turner died Wednesday at his home in suburban San Diego. He was 76. "He did pass away this morning" at his home in San Marcos, said Scott M. Hanover of Thrill Entertainment Group, which managed Turner's musical career.

Ike's image is forever identified as the drug-addicted, wife-abusing husband of Tina Turner. He was hauntingly portrayed by Laurence Fishburne in the movie "What's Love Got To Do With It," based on Tina Turner's autobiography. Turner is known for trying to rehabilitate his image somewhat in later years when he toured around the globe with his band the Kings of Rhythm. He won a Grammy in 2007 in the traditional blues album category for "Risin' With the Blues."

In a 2001 interview with The Associated Press, Turner denied his ex-wife's claims of abuse and expressed frustration that he had been demonized in the media while his historic role in rock's beginnings had been ignored.

"You can go ask Snoop Dogg or Eminem, you can ask the Rolling Stones or (Eric) Clapton, or you can ask anybody — anybody, they all know my contribution to music, but it hasn't been in print about what I've done or what I've contributed until now," he said. Turner, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is credited by many rock historians with making the first rock 'n' roll record, "Rocket 88," in 1951.

It's always funny how men are portrayed as disgusting horrible creatures that hit their wives and no one remembers an old saying that "Women live longer, because they don't have wives". What about women who provoke them every freaking day and annoy them with stupid questions, demands and weird outbreaks of emotions, - crying, arguing, lecturing, whining. Perhaps she is the enemy here, who drove a man into the abyss of rage. No one knows for a fact that he actually did beat his wife, but everyone chose to concentrate on that over his long music carrier, probably because it makes everyone feel a little better about their not so bright and not so nice personality. America loves to JUDGE everyone, TV shows like Jerry Springer and Maury are so popular, and the very filth of humanity is sitting in the audience yelling like a horde of hyenas at the people on stage who are just trying to find something of their own, regardless how strange it may appear for others.

What are we planning for musiceffect.com? Well, we are planning to do major updates and upgrades for the site.

New guitar tuner sounds are available. Mp3 format, fast loading, crisp and clear. Online guitar tuner is one of the most popular sections of our site and can be found here ( Guitar Tuner ).

Hot Chords sounds are fixed as well. Some visitors had issues with the chords actually playing, so the script that was running the sounds was redone and should be working properly. The best thing to do is to let the page fully load before playing the sound to avoid any possible issues. If you still hear no sounds, refresh the page and let it load, until you see nothing displayed in the left corner of your status bar. You can check out these chords by clicking here ( Hot Chords ).
