Q&A: Mower |
antiMusic reports: For this special edition
of 2&2 we follow up with Mower as they start out on a new tour with
Rickets today supporting their album 'Not For You' which hit stores earlier
this year. Check out the new questions below and then click over on the
full story link for a full length interview Morley conducted with Brian
a couple months back.
2&2: You guys are about to hit the
road for a headlining run, what can fans expect from the shows aside from
an insane pit? ** Mower: Mower was supposed to be on tour since July
and I think the band has way too much energy built up. We're ready to go
off. We've been talking to the guys in Rikets and both bands are aggressive
and creating many styles of music and have moved beyond caring about what
is going on in the music industry. This is an underground tour we've set
up with two brutal live bands and the people that care enough to come out
each night are going to witness great shows they will be talking about
for a long time. They can say they were there.
2&2: Anyone who has ever driving
So Cal can relate to the "Road Rage" video but is that based on a true
story? ** Mower: I wish it about one true story. Road Rage is about
countless experiences with careless, inconsiderate drivers on the roads
all over this cellphone obsessed country. It is the musical version of
flipping someone the finger in their rearview mirror. [check out the full

Injured |
pr-inside reports: Pop star MADONNA is sporting
a bruise on her cheek after being shoved by paparazzi at London's Heathrow
airport over the weekend (ends05NOV06) - while she was holding her adopted
son. The star returned to her home in London from New York City where she
had spent the week promoting her newest children's book TOO GOOD TO BE
TRUE, along with her US TV concert special.
A source close to the singer tells American
publication People, "When she landed in London, there was a lot of pushing
and shoving. She was jostled around. She got hit in the paparazzi's commotion."
Madonna's one-year-old son DAVID, whom she is in the process of adopting
from Malawi, was not hurt in the scuffle.

Mercury Movie |
pr-inside reports: A film tribute to rock
band QUEEN is being produced, prompting a battle between the biggest showbiz
names desperate to be cast as the late FREDDIE MERCURY. The WE WILL ROCK

the pipeline and we're all involved in it. "I'm not allowed to say much
about it and casting isn't finalised but we've had some incredible offers
to play Freddie. Really incredible."[see full story for more]-

Suck for Rock Shows |
blabbermouth.net reports: Former SKID ROW
frontman Sebastian Bach, who is currently touring North America as the
opening act for GUNS N' ROSES, has commented on the cancellation of GN'R's
Nov. 6 concert in Portland, Maine. In a live interview with the Hartford,
Connecticut radio station WCCC, Bach stated, "Basically what happened is
that GUNS N' ROSES has a huge pyro show - anybody that's seen the concert
knows that to be the case. And when the fire marshall showed up, they were
not into it - they were like, 'This is too much.' Also, they have these
laws up there in Maine now where they literally told GUNS N' ROSES and
PAPA ROACH and us, they said any fans caught in the building smoking a
cigarette will be immediately arrested, any bandmember on stage with a
beer in his hand will be escorted out of the venue and taken into jail.
And it's like,' Dude, it's a rock concert. It's a ROCK show.' Basically,
it felt like they didn't want the thing to go down. And I read on Blabbermouth
where it said 3,000 tickets were sold for the show, which was a 5,500 seater.
And I'm like, dude, it's Portland, Maine. After 15 years, the guy's [Axl]
never played there - that's not unexpected

TuneLab reports: Chris Cornell will be covering
Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" on his upcoming new solo album, which he
is putting the final touches on now. Cornell told mtv.com:

In The Toilet |
punkbands.com reports: Ever had a dream of
taking a crap on your favourite band - not?? Now you can, the Descendents
are actually selling a toilet seat. This is not usual merchandise for a
band - you see, with records like Enjoy, and ALL's Trailblazer, it was
inevitable that they would at least try this to see how it turned out.
It turned out pretty well, actually.
This toilet seat has never been used (thankfully)
so we can't really know if it'll stand up to the kind of abuse that the
Descendents are legendary for, but it seems pretty sturdy. Well, you know,
as far as toilet seats go, anyway. [see full story for more]-

Lose Voice |
sleazeroxx.com reports: Vocalist Wade Black
has issued the following update:
.Like many other musicians in our genre,
I have a career outside of music that is necessary in order to provide
a reasonable lifestyle for my family. If I have to miss work to fly out
to do recording sessions, rehearsals, or tours, I don't get paid.
While I have enjoyed giving a new voice
to LEATHERWOLF and supporting the new album, the harsh economic reality
of my current musical situation is that the compensation for the studio
and live work I've done hasn't even offsetted the lost wages I've missed
while supporting LEATHERWOLF in the studio and on the road. More important
than the financial aspects is the time away from my family. My wife and
children have been very patient and supportive of me, and they deserve
to be the highest priority in my life. You only have one chance in life
to be the best parent you can be. There are no studio tricks or retakes
to gloss over the missed opportunities to be there for your family. I am
therefore letting you all know that effective immediately, I will no longer
be singing for LEATHERWOLF.[see full story for more]-
