Drowning Pool Week: Enemy |
Enemy is the most middle-finger-in-the-air
song on the record and is about walking away from a destructive situation
respectfully. The relationship in the song has one partner who tries to
do everything right while the other partner does the opposite. Even though
eventually the speaker feels nothing but spite and contempt for the abusive
partner, when leaving the relationship, he is still able to take the high-road.
I'm sure that my old-school friends and family understand exactly where
"Enemy" came from having seen some of the sad, sad BS of recent years.

Richards Admits Snorting Dad's Ashes |
"What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of... y'know, he went down a treat," Richard reportedly says in a new magazine interview according to UK music site Gigwise. The story caused controversy when it first broke with Richards issuing a denial but he has now changed his tune and offered up a correction to the widely reported claims that he mixed his fathers remains with cocaine before having a toot.
"The cocaine bit was rubbish. I said I
chopped him up like cocaine, not with. I'd opened his box up and said,
'Jesus, I've got to do something with dad, y'know, plant the oak tree.'
I pulled the lid off and out comes a bit of dad on the dining room table.
I'm going, 'I can't use the brush and dustpan for this'. So you just gotta
like, put it together."

The End of Slayer? |
"Well, there have been remarks made about seeing an old man headbang. And I have to agree," Araya said in the interview. "I think the Stones can do that, probably go out and do their stuff in their 80s, but it just wouldn't look right [for us], you know what I mean?
"It's actually pretty strenuous. That's why I don't see it going any further than a certain point in time. We have one more record to do, which is our deal with [Rick] Rubin, and we'll have to sit down and discuss the future. But I can't really see myself doing this at a later age."- Read the full interview

Schenker Kills Tour |
Blabbermouth reports that "Schenker and his band were scheduled to perform Friday night (August 3) in Stourbridge, U.K. but ended up calling off the gig after only a handful of songs."
Schenker's Myspace page then carried this
announcement: "Due to various mitigating circumstances that have conspired
to derail the [U.K.] tour, it has been officially confirmed by a source
close to Michael Schenker Group that the remaining tour dates have definitely
been cancelled. In truth, it was impossible to carry on with the current
situation, a situation that has been caused by a multitude of events beyond
the bands control, including Michael's. The band and Michael would personally
like to express their gratitude for the patience and understanding shown
by the MSG faithful (fans) during this extremely difficult time and would
like to say 'Thank you' to ALL those who have expressed their continuing
love and support. Be assured, MSG hope to see you ALL on the road in the
future."

Universal Republic will finally get around to releasing Amy Winehouse's 2003 debut on November 7th and according to Rolling Stone the label "is bullying retailers into removing the import version of the LP from their shelves." That's right, the label claims that wholesalers and record stores are infringing upon their "exclusive right to distribute [Winehouse's] recordings in the States" by providing import version of the album to American consumers.
Last month the label sent cease-and-desist letters to retailers and wholesalers threatening legal action if they do not pull the import versions of the album off their shelves. - Read the Rolling Stone story.

Metal Hammer responded, "That must have been incredibly frustrating?" and Taylor responded, "Of course, I was so stoked that the Anthrax guys would consider doing anything with me. So the last thing I wanted to do was let them down."- more on this story
