Kelly Osbourne Drug Bust
Blabbermouth reports: Ozzy and Sharon
Osbourne announced during their live appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live"
Friday night that their 19-year-old daughter Kelly has entered the Promises
drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Malibu, California to treat an
addiction to painkillers.
According to Sharon, her publicist received a phone call from a British tabloid Friday morning asking for comment on a photo showing Kelly doing a drug deal. Sharon then confronted her daughter, who at first denied doing drugs.
"Being a drug addict and alcoholic myself, I know telling the truth doesn't come easy," Ozzy said. "It's a family illness. It's in the genes. In this day and age, the availability of getting drugs is amazing."
"I can't believe we were buying into it," he said. "The amount of pills I found in her bag was astounding."
Sharon said that Jack Osbourne brought his sister to the rehab facility on Friday. - Click Here for the Full Story

Lacuna Borgir Off-fest
siN's Metal News reports: According to
an interview conducted by Pivotalrage.com with BLEEDING THROUGH's vocalist
(Brandon), it seems that DIMMU BORGIR and LACUNA COIL are set to play some
Off-fest (dates during Ozzfest when Ozzfest is not being played) dates
together this summer. Here's the Q & A:
"PR: Are there going to be any off dates with any other bands from Ozzfest?"
"Brandon: Yeah we will either be doing off dates with SLAYER or DIMMU BORGIR and LACUNA COIL. If it works out our way it will be with SLAYER because we fit more with that crowd then a black metal crowd. But either way it's going to be crazy."- Click Here for the Full Story
Distillers Blast Jet
Launch reports: Distillers drummer Andy
Granelli launched a verbal assault on Australian rockers Jet during an
interview with the Ottawa Sun Thursday (April 1). While admitting that
the Distillers aren't the "most original" or "best" band in the world,
Granelli blurted, "I don't know how these crappy cover bands posing as
new bands, like Jet or Kings Of Leon can take themselves seriously...(Jet)
have that new single out now and you can count on one hand all the different
songs in that one song. There's a Stones song in there; there's half of
a Beatles song in there...and you go, 'Come on! I know you're from Australia
and you probably don't get a lot of stuff out there, but please, this sucks!'"

Fans Remember Cobain
AP reports: Kurt Cobain and his band,
Nirvana, spent only three years in the public eye, and they released only
three studio albums. But what he accomplished before committing suicide
10 years ago Monday at age 27 � deciding it was "better to burn out than
fade away," as he quoted Neil Young in his suicide note � was remarkable.
Beneath this bridge above the muddy banks of the Wishkah River, a troubled young Cobain would come to escape his unhappy home and the persistent gray drizzle of the Washington coast.
Among the cracking concrete supports, he would smoke pot and drink and plot his stardom, bragging to friends of his "suicide genes" and that he would die a young rock star.
It's here that many of his fans have come to pay their respects since he fulfilled that prophesy with a needle and a shotgun.
"Peace, love, empathy," reads one message scrawled in graffiti under the bridge.
"Kurt," says another, "Your spirit will bounce on happily." - Click Here for the Full Story
Ozzy Targets Doc

Nickelback, Sam Roberts Kings
of Junos
Jam! reports: Juno fever busted an oil
vein Sunday with a record number of fans to witness Sam Roberts, Sarah
McLachlan and Nickelback pick up their hardware.
With three statuettes -- all in major categories -- Roberts was the biggest winner of the night. The Montrealer won every category he was nominated in, including the top prize of artist of the year.
His debut record We Were Born in a Flame, which included the hit songs Brother Down and Don't Walk Away Eileen, took album of the year and rock album of the year.
Hometown quartet Nickelback, originally formed in Hanna, Alta., about 200 kilometres northeast of Calgary, won group of the year and fan's choice award.
"These always feel so incredible but it feels so much more to receive one of these at home," said frontman Chad Kroeger. - Click Here for the Full Story
Cobain Remembered
Jam! reports: Most generations have at
least one defining moment.
And a sad fact of history is that many of those moments come accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, an acrid retort that closes a chapter and baptizes those left to begin the next one with a great many tears.
For many coming of age in the '90s, that moment came on April 8, 1994.
It was the day that songwriter Kurt Cobain's lifeless body was found in the greenhouse behind his home in Seattle, felled by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
At the time, he was only 27 years old, but for someone so young, he left behind a pretty amazing legacy -- not to mention a wife, daughter, family, friends and millions of fans.

Pixies Bootlegs
Chart Attack reports: The Pixies reunion
tour is getting weirder and weirder. First, the much beloved alt.rock band
announced that their first tour in a decade would focus on smallish venues
across the Canadian prairies � a move that, regardless of how much we appreciate
it, is a tad unorthodox. Now The Pixies have revealed plans to release
a bootleg series of all 15 of their "warm up" shows � although, once again,
access to these CDs will be extremely limited.
The Pixies will travel with a special high-tech truck filled with equipment that will record each show and print off the CDs on location. They'll pump out 1,000 discs at every stop (except for the Coachella Festival, where they'll double the batch to 2,000). Once those 1,000 discs are gone, the disc will be officially out of print. - Click Here for the Full Story

their band is now the guitarist for my band."
Wood joins a band that already includes drummer Matt Brann, bassist Charlie Moniz and guitarist Evan Taubenfeld. - Click Here for the Full Story

Final Control Denied CD Will
Be Completed
BW&BK reports: Contrary to her threat
to post the new CHUCK SCHULDINER rehearsal CD online at EmptyWords (www.emptywords.org)
to spite label Karmageddon Media, Jane Schuldiner (Chuck's mother) appears
to have backed off with this recent statement: "After giving it another
serious thought, we decided to not go ahead with the original plan as was
announced on March 3. We are aware of the fact that discussions will continue,
but none of this is doing any justice to Chuck's final music at all. His
last masterpiece deserves more than to be released as unfinished bits of
rehearsal room recordings on CD, or to be grabbed for free on the internet.
It deserves to be finished by the rest of the band and to be released on
a full-length album, titled: When Machine And Man Collide. We hope you
will all understand our decision. "
Karmageddon Media has already issued the unfinished CONTROL DENIED material under the title, Zero Tolerance. The album was originally recorded by Jim Morris at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, FA and featured Schuldiner on guitar, vocalist Tim Aymar, guitarist Shannon Hamm, bassist Steve DiGiorgio and drummer Richard Christy. It was Schuldiner's final work before he passed away on December 18, 2001. - Click Here for the Full Story
Yesterface & Today
BW&BK reports: On April 1st, ENUFF
Z'NUFF frontman/co-founder DONNIE VIE released his new album, This &
That, through Dreamland Discs.
This & That is just that - a new album including four brand new songs and 13 unreleased demos including the original demos for two of Enuff Z'nuff's biggest hits, �Innocence' and �Fly High Michelle'. Some of the demos stretch all the way back to the first "demo" sessions for Enuff Z'nuff.
The project was conceived as an "official" bootleg and as such the previously unreleased demos are included in their original form. Some are from master tapes and others from different sources including fan traded bootlegs. They were simply remastered by Bill Kortvely at Tecworks.net for this release. No major studio tweaking or overdubs were performed on the tracks and Dreamland Discs retain the "bootleg" feel by releasing the first pressing on CD-R media.
However, the artwork and liner notes were given the full album treatment, complete with all original artwork by Vie himself. Donnie also penned the liner notes with background information and a description for each song including the real story behind �Fly High Michelle'.
This & That is released as a special limited edition by Dreamland Discs. Only 1,000 copies will be pressed and sold, so needless to say quantities are limited. [see full story for tracklisting and real audio - visit http://www.dreamlanddiscs.com to order the CD]- Click Here for the Full Story

Coldplay Cold-Cock?
antiMUSIC reports: It appears that Coldplay
frontman Chris Martin has had another altercation with a photographer.
Martin reportedly had a run in with a paparazzi photographer outside of
a London restaurant last Wednesday.
The photographer claims that Martin attacked him. Martin's camp claims that the photographer tripped while trying to chase a taxi carrying his wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
Scotland Yard is investigating the incident and confirms that the photographer did suffer some minor cuts and scratches but that the injuries did not call for a trip to the hospital. At press time, Scotland Yard has yet to talk to the photographer to get his side of the story. "We will take a formal statement from the alleged victim in due course. No one has been interviewed yet," Scotland Yard said according to a Sky News report. - Click Here for the Full Story
