| Fan
Destruction |
Blabbermouth reports: According to a posting
on DESTRUCTION's official web site, the German thrashers' April 15 concert
in Quito, Ecuador ended in total chaos after the local promoter lost control
of the 2,000 fans that wanted to attend the gig in a venue that could only
accommodate half of them and that didn't have a working lighting system.
"The band wanted to postpone the concert to the next day, but the local
promoter had absolutely NO control of the show and audience," the posting
reads. "The band is really sorry and mad as hell about this disorder! As
a [security precaution], the show was delayed, which led to a destruction
of the venue by pissed off fans!"[maybe the fans were just taking the band's
name to heart? see full story for more]- Click

| Rotten
Brit |
Gigwise reports: John Lydon has dismissed
the “all corporate” Brit Awards’ chances of awarding the Sex Pistols a
life-time achievement award.
Following his refusal to attend his old
band’s induction into the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame earlier this year,
Lydon, popularly known as Johnny Rotten, has told the Brits they are wasting
their time trying to dole out awards to the punk rockers. "They think they
can just come along and use us. We're not a prop. We were never anyone's
prop. They're just trying to glean some credibility."[see full story for

| Streets
of US |
The Tripwire reports: Mike Skinner (a.k.a.
The Streets) will drop his third album, The Hardest Way To Make An Easy
Living, on April 25. But that's sort of old news. The exciting thing is
that The Streets just announced a US tour in June with UK grim sensation
Lady Sovereign as the opening act. The trek will include stops at Chicago's
Intonation Festival and Bonnaroo, as well as appearances on Kimmel and
Letterman.
Skinner will begin streaming the entire
new album on his MySpace page on April 18, so set a reminder or something.

Warrant |
antiMusic reports: Have any spandex just collecting
dust in the closet? Well you can now donate them to a lost..err good..
cause. Former Warrant frontman has put out a call to fans to send him cloths
and guitars after his were reportedly stolen.
Following the announcement that he is going
the Mike Tramp route of latching his name in front of the title of his
former group to eek out a few more dollars in ticket sales, Lane recently
wrote on his website, "Life is great! Except for the fact that all my clothes
and guitars were stolen over the holidays. I wear a medium shirt, 32"-32"
pants and I play acoustic guitars...lol...talk to ya soon...babies!!! JL"
The inclusion of the lol may show that he was joking but someone break
out some spandex and send em along. But please no acoustic guitars, the
world doesn't need another cheesy ballad…. Lane also discusses his forthcoming
solo album, so this is a warning. Hell isn't too far away. [see the full
story for Metal Sludge's funny take on this news]

| CKY
Leave Island |
SMN reports: CKY has officially parted ways
with Island Records. After some bickering and handbangs, frontman Deron
Miller released the following statement:
"Today we were finally released from our
contract with island records. We had been asking to be let go since 2003
when it was clear that the label had no idea how to market a band that
doesnt write songs about breaking up with their girlfriends. To this day
I truly dont know why they signed us in the first place. They wanted to
do our 4th album, but giving them a fourth chance to deliver dissapointing
empty promises seemed ludicrous. It wasnt making sense. To be fair, I want
to say that I dont blame them for not knowing what to do with a band that
isnt a flash in the pan. Major labels are afraid of bands that dont do
what they're told to do.[see full story for more]- Click
