QOTSA Deny Assault |
The alleged run-in took place Wednesday night (Nov 10) at the Dragonfly in Hollywood prior to The Dwarves scheduled performance at the club. The Rolling Stone article, which posted on Thursday, said that Homme "instigated a brawl" with Dahlia and hit him with a beer bottle.
"After appearing backstage before the Dwarves' midnight show, Homme began pouring beer over Dahlia's head while singing, 'Whatcha gonna do?'" reports Rolling Stone. "According to eyewitnesses, after the two pushed each other, Homme struck Dahlia over the head with a beer bottle."
The Queens of the Stone Age camp rejected
the validity of the Rolling Stone article and attacked its author with
a posting by "Dr. Insider" to their official website. Dr. Insider called
the Rolling Stone article a "fairy tale" and attacked its credibility because
the article stated that Dahlia was treated at a fictitious hospital. The
article has since been corrected to read "Hollywood Presbyterian Medical
Center" instead of "St. Mary's Hospital ". [see full story for more, including

No New Sabbath |
Tony: Ozzy said he didn't like that and that he wanted to get out of that.
Jeb: Isn't that up to Sharon?
Tony: Exactly! Sharon has taken over now; she is on TV all the time.
Jeb: I talked with Bill Ward about a year ago and he told me that there is an album of new Black Sabbath songs on tape at his house that just need mixed.
Tony: We've got quite a few tracks that
we did. We had a writing period where we wrote about seven tracks that
are very good. Do you think they are going to end up on bootleg as well?

ICP Ban After Near Riot |
The center's GM said that a "handful of attendees" waiting to enter the concert became disrespectful and disruptive to law enforcement.
"The attendees were trying to gain entrance into the facility prior to the door opening by pulling on the doors and hurling a few soft drink cans at the windows," Tom Morton told Pollstar.
"People that started screaming, swearing
and rock throwing - basically inciting a riot - went to jail," officer
Gene Campbell told the station. [see full story for more]-

Metallica Killer To Ride the Lightning this Week |
Troy Kunkle, who has the METALLICA logo tattooed on his left arm, was first scheduled to be executed in July, but the Supreme Court issued a stay as the justices considered a writ filed by Kunkle's lawyers. The writ asked the justices to decide if Texas courts have been applying an unconstitutional standard that did not allow juries to consider mitigating circumstances, such as mental illness, during capital murder trials.
When the Supreme Court lifted the stay last month, Texas Department of Criminal Justice officials scheduled him to die by lethal injection. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

The Real Banana |
"I'm not surprised that David Steel wouldn't appear on camera," explains C.C. Banana. "He was obviously expecting to be interviewed by ME! Steel wanted the real peel, not some second banana. Why else make such an unorthodox request? Everyone knows that yours truly is the ORIGINAL rock & roll fruit!"
Even the episode title "Backstage Pass" is eerily similar to that of C.C. Banana's debut home video "Backstage Banana," in which C.C. interviews members of such notable bands as Poison, Winger and Cinderella.
"There's only room for ONE lunatic interviewing
rock stars in a banana suit," insists the flamboyant fruit. "And I'll be
damned if that lunatic ain't gonna be ME!"[see full story for more]-
