| GNR
Reunion? |
Metal Sludge reports: A representative for
GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose has shot down persistent rumors that former
GNR members Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan are in talks with Rose
about taking part in a "reunion" tour this summer. The rumors gained strength
a couple of days ago when unconfirmed reports surfaced that Slash had picked
up his gear from VELVET REVOLVER's rehearsal studios after allegedly announcing
that he was leaving the band.
Rumors of trouble in the VELVET REVOLVER
camp have been swirling around the group for the past few months, with
several reports suggesting that much of the strife between Slash and the
rest of the camp stems from Slash's wife Perla's alleged involvement in
the band's business affairs. The situation allegedly came to a head last
week after an attempt was made by attorneys to mediate in matters related
to the lawsuits filed by Slash, Duff and Axl over the rights to the old
GNR songs. [keep in mind this was post on April 1st - see full story for

| Centinex
RIP |
BW&BK reports: Swedish thrashers CENTINEX
have called it quits. A statement from Dreamtide Music Management on the
matter is as follows:
"We hereby announce that after 16 years
in the business the swedish death metal act Centinex call it quits. This
might come as a surprise to many of you, especially after releasing such
a strong and critically acclaimed album as World Declension. However, things
came to such a point where the only solution was to call it a day. Without
going too deep into all the details, I can tell you that there are many
reasons (personal, musical etc) for this decision and believe me, everything
is well thought out. Hereby we stop all band activities and our farewell
show will be the already booked appearance in Eskilstuna, Sweden, on May
13th.[see full story for more]- Click
