Trail of Dead |
antiMusic reports: This week's 2&2 features
an interview Thrashpit editor Mark Hensch did with Conrad from .. Trail
of Dead a few weeks back with the release of their new CD So Divided. We
gave the Thrashpit readers an early look at the interview but here it is
in its official 2&2 posting.
2&2: Worlds Apart had some pretty
strong political undertones. How exactly do you feel about the state of
our country? ** Conrad: I think you're all f**ked! No, I think we can
work things out. Maybe not without something really, truly awful happening
first. But more important than the state of this country or any other country,
I focus mainly on the future of the human animal (as well as all the other
disenfranchised animals). I think if all goes well countries, and hopefully
organized religions, will one day be a thing of the past.
2&2: The best part about your music
is that it never sacrifices intelligence for catchiness. Do you feel that
this brand of "smart rock" will ever replace the trash that is on radio
now? ** Conrad: Honestly? No. But homeland security can't arrest us
for hoping and pretending that it might someday. [see full story for the

| Van
Halen Ready for Reunion |
KNAC reports: Eddie Van Halen recently spoke
to Guitar World Magazine. This quote is an excerpt from the interview featured
in the new issue, and posted on a David Lee Roth fan site:
"I'm telling Dave. 'Dude get your ass up
here and sing, witch! Come On!'" says Van Halen. "As it stands right now,
the ball is in Dave's court. Whether he wants to rise to the occasion is
entirely up to him, but we're ready to go."[see full story for more]-

Porn Vandalism |
Submitted News reports: A video has surfaced
on You Tube this weekend that shows Kelly Clarkson riding in the back of
a van with known adult filmmaker and singer for Society 1 Matt Zane en
route to vandalize Evanescence's lead singer Amy Lee's house. The clip
seems to be an excerpt from a reality show entitled "In The Studio" During
the teaser Kelly actually throws numerous rolls of toilet paper into the
trees and over the house while laughing.
It is unclear how Matt Zane and Ms. Clarkson
ended up in the van together but even Zane seems surprised when he states
"I can't believe American Idols Kelly Clarkson is riding in the back of
a van going to commit vandalism!"
Ron Jeremy and other varied guests make
appearances throughout the 4 minute clip but nothing seems more puzzling
than the pairing of Zane and Clarkson. Check it out at the full story link.
The clip is also posted on Zane's Myspace: www.myspace.com/mattthelordzane[-

Protest |
blabbermouth.net reports: Italian GUNS N'
ROSES fan site Gnronline.it has announced that it has gone "on strike"
to protest the lack of official information regarding the band and the
"phantom" album "Chinese Democracy". Specifically, the Gnronline.it administrators
are claming that GN'R management is playing favorites with the two big
American fan sites, while other worldwide fan sites are being left in the
dark despite their efforts over the course of the last ten years to support
the group. The Gnronline.it web site is not being updated and the almost
3,000-user forum is not being moderated until January 1, 2007. After that
day, the entire site will be closed. [see full story for more]-
