I had this riff in my head for so long and I had been playing it just as long. When I asked Paul Raven to play on my record, he said, "SURE! You know I am down!" We recorded his bass part in a studio in Clinton Hill/Brooklyn where he had been staying with a friend of his working on his Mob Research project. This studio was in a home that was once an Abby for Nuns and was full of ghosts.

I never saw one but I knew they were there. Raven had done his part and I wanted him to play on SOUNDS OF SILENCE while I had him there, but by the time we were done with Mars Becoming it was time to go to The Alibi for some shots and beers. A week later, when I went back to the studio to grab the files we listened on the studio monitors to Mars Becoming. While I was standing outside I was hearing vocals. There were no vocals on the song, but I heard vocals as though the ghosts were singing along with the track. It was the vocals of the ghosts that I used to sing this song.

Sleazeroxx has the story: A sex video allegedly featuring Gene Simmons was released Tuesday at GenesSecret.com. Photos on the site promoting the sex video show the couple going at it in several positions, with Simmons keeping his shirt on and Elsa wearing lingerie.

Consider the evidence: The couple dropped around $500 at Lisa Kline Kids, purchasing everything from a cheetah diaper bag to baby AC/DC tees, and, of course, a camo pacifier holder. Sounds a lot like she's preparing for life to get more complicated.

Almost as long as the wait for new music is the band's absence from the stage. Tour plans, however, aren't as firm. "If we go out again or when we go out again," Williams said. "You just never know. We've been around a long time, so we're going to get together and get in the studio and I fully expect we will [tour.].

The band have been writing songs for the follow-up to 2004's 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' for several months around the world.

What's that? Ozzy Osbourne is going to call the Brits short and launch a violent attack on Heather Mills if she manages to turn up to the Brits and present an award tomorrow? Fair enough. Female First reports:

'Eminem: The Way I Am', which is released on October 16th, will provide a unique insight into the rapper, including, unseen photographs and lyric sketches.

"We are pleased to announce that Christopher Lyle Prophet has left HORSE the band and has given a statement to the press outside of his West Hills home this morning, saying the decision to leave came after two other decisions were made up in his mind; the decision to 'pursue other interests' and also the decision to have 'cereal for breakfast.'

The victim, 23, was sitting in a car about 12:30 a.m. Sunday when he was held up by five men, two with guns, according to Milwaukee police. He handed over a bag of jewelry, and the robbers fled the parking lot, near N. 24th St. and W. Wisconsin Ave.

The EP will feature the original and their cover of The Natural History track, "Don't You Ever" - which was renamed, "Don't you Evah" on Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.

The Stockholm quintet is releasing a new EP on April 8th featuring a radio edit and a video of their hit "Impossible" directed by SOL bassist Ted Malmros along with several remixes.

The month long tour will kick off on March 21 in Reno, Nevada and will conclude on April 23 in Myrtle Beach, SC.
