GNR Leaks |
antiMusic reports: The good ship Guns N' Roses
is leaking like crazy. Two more songs have surfaced online following two
leaks last week. One of the new leaked tracks is a studio quality demo
of the song "Twat" and the other leak is what appears to be a demo studio
mix of the song "The Blues". The rumor mill is also churning at full speed
with speculation that the tracks "Prostitute" and "The General" will soon
be leaked as well.
The Axl Rose led Guns N' Roses performed
"The Blues" during their 2001 New Year's Eve concert in Las Vegas as well
as on their 2002 tour. While the GNR leaks have been big news in the underground
and among the Gunner faithful, the mainstream media by-in-large have ignored
the story. This has opened the doors to some interesting conspiracy theories.

Aiken Suit |
Contact Music reports: Nine fans of AMERICAN
IDOL star CLAY AIKEN are considering launching a class action lawsuit against

the singer in a hotel room. In the absence of a firm denial from Aiken,
the upset devotees are deliberating filing a class-action lawsuit and a
possible Fair Trade Commission complaint [see full story for more]-

a Hoax or A Doherty Hoax? |
hecklerspray reports: The Internet, famously,
is full of a lot of bollocks. But every now and again we hear something
that we want to be true so much that it hurts. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
You be the judge. According to an email we got, Pete Doherty is a giant
hoax created by Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty of KLF/ burning a million
quid/ firing blanks at Brits audiences/ leaving dead sheep lying around
fame. Evidence? You want evidence? [see the full story link, this one is
rich! Inspired by Weezer no doubt]- Click

| Rollins'
Jihad |
punkbands reports: Henry Rollins ran into
trouble while flying from Auckland, Australia during the Big Day Out Tour.
Apparently, the former hardcore vocalist and author made the mistake of
reading Jihad: The Rise of Militant Island in Central Asia while on the
flight.
The individual who sat next to Henry had
reported him to the government because of the book; while the letter he
recieved from the government dismissed the accussation as "idiocy," Henry
responded: "I was reading a book called Jihad by Ahmed Rashid which is
a history of Central Asia. I didn't speak to the man next to me past how
do you do. I think Ahmed Rashid is published by Yale University Press.
Bush's alma mater. Please tell your government and everyone in your office
to go fuck themselves. Tell them twice. If your boss is looking for something
to do, you can tell him I suggest he go fuck himself. Baghdad's safer than
my hometown and your PM is a sissy." [see full story for more]-

Fire Update |
Blabbermouth reports: According to the Associated
Press, prosecutors say the former tour manager of GREAT WHITE, who ignited
a deadly fire at a West Warwick nightclub almost three years ago, will
testify against the club's owners. Daniel Biechele (BEEK'-lee) pleaded
guilty this month to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter and will serve
less than 10 years in prison.
When Biechele pleaded guilty, he told a
judge that one of the club's owners, Michael Derderian, gave him permission
to use pyrotechnics inside the building. Derderian's lawyer denies that
allegation. [see full story for more]- Click

Vs Foos |
Blabbermouth reports: THE CULT frontman Ian
Astbury was recently asked by a fan on the band's official message board
if it's true that while recording their last studio album, 2001's "Beyond
Good and Evil", they titled one of the demos "Bring Me the Head of Dave
Grohl". "Yes, [it's] true," Astbury replied. "It all started with comments
that [Dave] Grohl [ex-NIRVANA drummer and current FOO FIGHTERS frontman]
had made about coming to see THE CULT on a dare that appeared in Alternative
Press. He went on to say that 'overproduced' music like that made him want
to shoot himself." [see full story for more including how Ian feels Lava

| RIAA
Redefine Fair Use |
Inquirer reports: Remember when the RIAA (Record
Industry Association of America) was arguing in front of the US Supreme
Court in the Grokster case, and it said that ripping a CD that you lawfully
own to your MP3 player was "perfectly lawful"? Well, now it isn't.
The RIAA is now arguing that it is illegal,
and wants to get it legally shut down. No, really, something as trivial
as sworn statements to the Supreme Court should be simply taken in jest,
right? [see full story for more]- Click
