Crunk Rock, on TVT Records.

| Fun
with Ozzfest rumors |
antiMusic reports: We love a good rumor as
much as the next guy but the rumormill has been churning overtime lately,
especially when it comes to certain bands and a certain summer festival
tour. So we thought it would be fun to look at the latest rumors surrounding
who will be playing this year's Sharonfest
oops Ozzfest.
The latest rumored headliners for Ozzfest:
Guns N' Roses - We now know that Axl and
company are making the rounds at European festivals this Spring but will
they headline Ozzfest? It could happen but then again they could easily
sellout the same venues on their own and keep all the cash instead of sharing
with Sharon.
AC/DC - Given that Judas Priest and Iron
Maiden, two bands that do well on their own, have done the tour in the
past it's not too crazy to think of AC/DC heading the fest but again they
might be better off on their own. [see full story for more]-

| Cliff
Burton Remembered |
Blabbermouth reports: METALLICA fan site For
Whom Metallica Tolls has posted an interview with the father of METALLICA
drummer Lars Ulrich, Torben Ulrich. Several excerpts from the interview
follow:
FWMT: What are your thoughts on Cliff Burton
... how the band would be had he not died ... what did you think of him
as a person and as a musician?
Torben: "Not only as a person but also
as a musician and maybe that kind of rock musician, I think Cliff was extremely
precious and very difficult to replace, or impossibly so. And I say this
also because he seemed to have a side to him that still was not fully unfolded,
and quite possibly could have taken the band in quite a different direction
from the way it went with Jason [Newsted], which is not at all a critique
of Jason and his large skills and ears. But more that there was something
in Cliff's background and genes that seemed to suggest that something not
so muscular could have come to the fore.[see full story for a lot more]-

| Wembley
Delay |
hecklerspray reports: The future of the first
proposed concerts to take place at the new Wembley Stadium is in doubt.

if it had been done by the Chuckle Brothers, is experiencing delays in
its construction.
Music lovers will be delighted to hear
that amongst those concerts possibly affected by this Wembley foul-up are
hairdresser's favourites Bon Jovi, and nineties pre-pubescent fanny magnets
Take That. Also on the possible cancellation list are pension-rockers The
Rolling Stones.[see full story for more]- Click
