Onstage Breakup? |
KNAC reports: The gossip boards at Metal Sludge
are on fire after last night's Poison concert in Atlanta. Here's are some
samples: "Don't know what started it, but right before the encore Bret
(Michaels, vocalist) and Bobby (Dall, bassist) appeared to be in a heated
discussion and next thing ya know, Bobby slings his bass at Bret. Rikki
(Rockett, drummer) and the roadies had to come in and separate them. Bret
then went on to apologize and say how we may have just witnessed the last
Poison concert ever. Bobby later came out and finished the song... guess
to give the fans what they paid for."
Another fan in attendance issued this commentary:
"
Bret comes out and apologizes to the fans. He said, 'that shit has been
building up for 20 years.' He then explained, 'We are like brothers, and
sometimes brothers want to knock the fuck out of each other.' He apologized
for not finishing the show with 'Talk Dirty To Me' and then said, 'Atlanta,
you may very well have seen the last concert by Poison in its current formation.'

trouble with Scottish authorities for smoking throughout the Rolling Stones

The guitarist flouted new laws banning
smoking in public places by lighting up frequently during the show at Hampden
Park and the city council says it will investigate the incident. [perhaps
Keef should find the author of the legislation and put his cigarette out
in said author's eye. Just a thought =) ] - Click

| Becker
Aid |
blabbermouth.net reports: Guitarist Jason
Becker's (DAVID LEE ROTH, CACOPHONY) official web site is offering t-shirts
for a limited time only, priced at $15 (including shipping). All proceeds
go straight to Jason, who is suffering from with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's Disease).
When doctors diagnosed Becker with ALS
in 1989 - one week after he joined David Lee Roth's band as Steve Vai's
replacement - they gave him approximately five years to live. That was
17 years ago. Though Becker was able to complete Roth's album ("A Little
Ain't Enough"), in the ensuing years the guitarist would be robbed of his
mobility. [see full story for more]- Click

Home Movies |
PR reports: MVD Visual and Highway 61 Entertainment
are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Bob Dylan - 1966 World
Tour: The Home Movies for worldwide distribution on DVD on Oct 31st.
For the first time on home video, musician

Tour through his recently discovered home movies! With a set of drum sticks
and his 8 mm color home movie camera, Mickey Jones toured the world in
1966 with Bob Dylan and The Band. He captured on film what became known
as the tour that changed Rock and Roll forever - when Dylan traded in his
acoustic guitar for an electric sound. This new version includes new, exculsive
interviews with Charlie Daniels discussing his 1970's Dylan album recordings,
Johnny Rivers and Trini Lopez discussing Dylan's influence on their music,
1966 World Tour soundman Richard Alderson on the tour sound, and Mickey
Jones with new revelations, including the surprising truth about Play F#@%ing
Loud!", contradicting the conclusion in Scorcese's No Direction Home.[see
