| Garbage
Split? |
Gigwise reports: Following rumours of a split
earlier this year, it now appears that Garbage may have finally called
it a day, with an announcement that all European dates on their 2005 world
tour have been cancelled.
A statement released on Friday placed the
blame for the cancellation on the band's heavy workload and in particular
their touring in 2005, though the fact that their tour schedule fails to
differ from any other popular band's touring schedule or the fact that
it is only the second tour they have done in the last seven years was not
mentioned.[see full story for more including the statement]-

| Axl
Blames ASCAP |
antiMUSIC reports: Earlier this month former
Guns N' Roses members Slash and Duff filed a lawsuit against Axl Rose because
Rose reportedly instructed ASCAP to route all royalty payments to his publishing
company, thus cutting off royalties due to other members of the group.
Apparently that was all a big mistake.
According to MSNBC, Axl's attorney, Howard Weitzman, says that it was a
clerical error on the part of ASCAP. Axl apparently instructed them to
send only his portion to his publishing company but they sent the whole
lot. MSNBC reports that Weitzman said that Axl has since returned the extra
money to ASCAP.

| ExFuel
Vs Fuel |
Audio Aggression reports: Former Fuel drummer
Kevin Miller filed suit in a Pennsylvania court Monday against several
corporations affiliated with the group claming, among other things, that
he didn't get his share of a $3 million advance for a recording deal. Fuel
signed to Sony in July 1997 and Miller joined the group in December '97,
and like the other three band members, he was supposed to receive 25% of
all profits generated from the band's touring; 6.5% of all publishing royalties;
and 25% of the recording revenues. Before the release of 'Natural Selection',
Sony advanced the band $3 million, of which $1.665 million was earmarked
for recording, and each member was to receive $353,000 of the advance.
Miller only received $212,000 and was told by guitarist Carl Bell that
he was getting less since he was not a member of the band when Sony awarded
the recording contract.[see full story for more]- Click

| Savage
Garden Greatest Hits? |
antiMusic reports: Another good CD that you
wanted to buy will be displaced on record store shelves soon by yet another
useless greatest hits collection. andPOP reports that the defunct pop group
Savage Garden are pulling a Hilary Duff and releasing a greatest hits complication
culled from their vast song library of two albums.
Why would you want to buy this album if
you already own the group's two previous CDs? Well, the marketing geniuses
will include the standard $16.99 song for a greatest hits CD. That track,
"So Beautiful" isn't actually a Savage Garden tune, it was recorded by
the former lead singer Darren Hayes for his forthcoming solo album. If
you can hold out a few months, you won't need to repurchase all the hits
including "Truly Madly Deeply" and "Crash and Burn," as Hayes will include
the bonus track on the aforementioned solo album when it hits stores early
next year.- Click

| Dickinson
Blames Sharon Not Ozzy or Sabbath |
Day in Rock reports: Iron Maiden frontman
Bruce Dickinson has publicly spoken out about what happened at their final
stop of Ozzfest (for those that missed the story, look for them in last
week's Day in Rock). The following is an excerpt from an interview with
The Sun.
Q: Who do you think was behind it all?
A: "Everyone knows it's Sharon Osbourne.
It's certainly not Ozzy or Sabbath - they have too much class to condone
stunts like that. She hates me for making remarks about reality TV. I hate
reality TV. People should get off their arses and do stuff and not be so
voyeuristic."
Q: Her stunts seemed to backfire as you
played a magnificent set and soon after, thousands walked out in disgust?
A: "We left for the airport pretty well
straight after we came off but we could tell there were a lot of disgusted
fans who had paid good money to see us. The audience was incredibly behind
us all the way and they really lifted us. If they hadn't been happy, there
may have been a riot as those fans were really disgusted with the cowardly
attacks." [see the full story link to read a reprinting of the interview

Journey |
Day in Rock reports: Fun fact, according to
MTV Tommy Lee was the original "rock star" that producers had in mind for
the show that became "Tommy Lee Goes to College". It turns out that the
show's creator originally planned to have the show revolve around former
Journey frontman Steve Perry, who inspired the idea. Perry turned down
the gig because he didn't want to be humiliated on TV. Guess Steve forgot
about the "Separate Ways" and "Oh Sherry" videos. Check out the full story
to learn the whole tale of how Tommy Lee and not Steve Perry ended up going
to college. (it involved showing NBC execs his peacock) [see full story

| EvanLohance:
The Next Sonny & Cher |
antiMusic reports: It appears that wannabe
pop tart and Disney screen queen Lindsay Lohan wants to have a little more
cred on her next album. To aid in that goal she has shacked up� oops ..
Freudian slip... teamed up with former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody
to work on material for the new album which is expected to assault our
ear drums sometime next year (you were warned!) People magazine broke the
news of this collaboration which may just supplant Sonny and Cher as the
most powerful music duo in pop history. And no, Lindsay is not expected
to cover George Michael's "Father Figure" on the album. -
