Day in rock reports: Philadelphia's WMMR radio
has posted a podcast of the now famous interview Matt Cord conducted with
Slash where he said that he heard that the long awaited Guns N' Roses album
'Chinese Democracy' would be released in March. In the interview Slash
had nothing but positive things to say about his former bandmate Axl Rose
and dispelled some rumors and media reports about a feud between him and
Rose. In fact, he said that he has not spoken to Axl for about 10 years
and also commented on the mistruths spread in the media. "I think the whole
media scene has gotten to the point of being really over the top. Constantly
making stuff up
it generates an audience," Slash said. "It's always based
on negative stuff.. you find anything really juicy going on that's actually
positive. It goes in one ear and out the other but if it's something, talk
about dirty laundry then that sticks. They generate a lot of interest in
that. It's sort of sad in a way. It's gotten to be really out of hand in
this millennium".
Slash also dismissed claims that Axl was
the one that had him barred from a Guns N' Roses New Year's Eve show in
Las Vegas a few years ago, saying that he heard it was the building management
that made the call. He also laughed off reports about Axl's reported cosmetic
enhancements. (For the record when Axl showed up at an antiMusic sponsored
DVD release party a couple years back, he didn't look like a redheaded
Jacko, he looked rather normal). You can hear the entire interview at the
full story link
plus find out what Slash had to say about the rumor that
he has a case for his signature top hat and hear his take on GNR after
he left. (thanks Blabbermouth for the link)- Click

Sales Tank |
Reuters reports: U.S. music album sales last
year slid to their lowest level since 1996, squelching any hopes that the
recording industry's long downward spiral may have bottomed out, according
to sales data issued on Wednesday.
Tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan, which
measures point-of-sale purchases across the United States, said total album
sales -- including current and catalog titles -- fell 7.2 percent from
2004 to 618.9 million units, the lowest since 1996, when they were 616.6
million.[see full story for more]- Click

Blabbermouth reports: GODSMACK frontman Sully
Erna recently spoke to MTV.com about the group's follow-up to 2003's "Faceless"
CD, which has a working title of "Four".

Assault |
BW&BK reports: The following report is
courtesy of Metal Sludge: Anyone remember the W.A.S.P. incident in Scottsdale
Arizona last fall? The one where Blackie Lawless was allegedly involved
in some less than law abiding activity? And threw a temper tantrum too,
well guess what? Blackie Lawless (real name Steven Duren) was charged with
misdemeanor assault. This is a criminal charge. It would have been a felony
if the victim sustained serious bodily injury or it was done with a dangerous
weapon. The pre-trial conference is on January 26, 2006. [Wow Blackie is
Lawless. see full story for more]- Click
