Vs U2 |
Gigwise reports: Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer
Chad Smith has slammed U2 and Black Eyed Peas for letting their music be
used on TV advertisements. Smith - speaking from the T In The Park Festival
- rounded on the two bands for both licensing out their songs to promote
iPods branding Black Eyed Peas in particular as a bunch of idiots.
He rants to the Daily Record, I'm fine
with getting our music out to people but I don't want to be on a TV commercial
with some guy bowling and then music comes out of his phone. There's no
artistic credibility. I'd feel like a jerk if we did that. I think Black
Eyed Peas look like a bunch of idiots. It's dangerous.[see full story for

Slams Pearl Jam |
Contact Music reports: SHARON OSBOURNE insists
the OZZFEST music festival remains true to its heavy metal history, while
other bands such as PEARL JAM, have become too mainstream. The feisty wife
of rocker OZZY OSBOURNE, believes that while many acts have mellowed in
their old age, hardcore rock fans are loyal purists, deserving of an appropriate
line-up. She explains, "Love Pearl Jam. But Pearl Jam is now like (US retail
chain store) the Gap crowd. The baggy trousers. "It's a date. It's nice,
lovely music. You know, there is this whole other world out there.[Sharon

| K-Fed
Sucks on Purpose? |
TMZ reports: [Was the world punk'd by K-Fed?
He's reportedly trying to tell us that.] It appears as if Kevin Federline
has had the last laugh. Apparently his diabolical scheme to completely
turn off the world's music fans with his disastrous single "PopoZao" was
a huge success.
According to reports spreading across the
Internet, Mr. Britney Spears put out "PopoZao" so that people would look
at him like a talentless wannabe rapper. "That way, when I come out with
my real sh**, people are f****** blown away," he allegedly said.
Well, he got the first part right. Now
we're just waiting to be blown away.If these reports are true, then K-Fed
should receive an oscar for his performance on MTV when he jammed out in
the studio, trying to promote his music. Maybe he should take some tips
from the Mrs. and try to get it right the first time. That's usually a
better plan than the one he concocted. [sure, uh huh, we're buying that
excuse]

Incarceration Will Not Be Televised |

| New
Firm Approach |
CMJ reports: Major label EMI plans to support
an as-yet-unnamed smaller subsidiary, part of talent management company
the Firm, which will try an "experimental" approach to artist-label relations.
According to the EMI website, this "artist-empowering" approach will eschew
the former pay-advance system in favor of a more direct partnership between
the label and musicians. That is, instead of getting big bucks at the beginning
and essentially becoming indebted to the label, artists will start with
less money yet split profits instead of relying on royalties.
EMI says that similar deals have been in
place for Korn and Ice Cube, and that the new label has already signed
Mandy Moore and Army Of Anyone (featuring former members of the Stone Temple
Pilots and Filter).[see full story for more]- Click

Protest |
Blabbermouth reports: The West Australian
newspaper reported in its July 8 edition that CANNIBAL CORPSE's October
concert in Perth, Australia has sparked calls for the band to be banned
over its alleged glorification of "child rape, suicide, murder and necrophilia"
in its lyrics.
Community groups have joined shadow police
minister Rob Johnson in calling for CANNIBAL CORPSE to be stopped from
appearing at Club Capitol on October 10.
In the wake of the murders of Banjup schoolgirl
Sofia Rodriguez-Urrutia-Shu and Collie teenager Eliza Jane Davis, the group's
dark message was unacceptable, they said.[see full story for more]-

n Women: All That Remains' Jeanne Sagan |
antiMusic reports: We kick off our final week
of the Rock n Women special hard and heavy with All That Remains' Jeanne
Sagan. Morley caught up with her recently to discuss her joining the band,
their new album, Sounds of the Underground tour, Ozzfest 06 and more. In
this excerpt she discusses how she got the gig.
antiMUSIC: How did you come to join the
band?
Jeanne: Laughs. How did I? Let me see.
I was working on sound last summer for Prosthetics Records, doing the whole
merch table thing. And I don't know, I know them from home, we're all from
the same area. I had played with bands that had played with them. Around
here it's kinda like a cool scene, everybody knows everybody. I was at
the right place at the right time. Pretty much they just needed someone,
so I jumped into the van the day after sound, did a tour. [see the full
story link for the entire interview]
