 Linkin
Snub |
Audio Aggression reports: Linkin Park guitarist
and spokesman Brad Delson shot down any chance of negotations between Warner
Music Group and Linkin Park recently. WMG actually asked the band to play
at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate the company's IPO. That request,
said Delson, "just exemplifies how out of touch the ownership of the Warner
Music Group is with our band. It doesn't make any sense to us why we would
play a show at the New York Stock Exchange. I don't know what was going
through their minds." [see full story for more]- Click

| KC
Falls Off Stage |
AP reports: For KC of KC and the Sunshine
Band, falling off the stage during a concert is definitely not the way
he likes it. Uh huh, uh huh.
KC, whose real name is Wayne Casey, took
a headfirst fall off a 6-foot-high stage while performing Saturday at the
Cinco de Mayo Festival in Phoenix. The 54-year-old singer suffered a sprained
knee and a cut over his right eye that needed six stitches. [God hates

| Drunk
Halen Killed Reunion |
BW&BK reports: Last year's VAN HALEN reunion
tour thrilled fans around North America, but things were not quite as euphoric
inside the band. Bassist Michael Anthony told Launch that guitarist Eddie
Van Halen's continued drinking made things a bit erratic and seems to have
halted plans for future touring.
"I hate to talk smack about anyone in the
band or whatever, but, y'know, Eddie, you know, he's still doing a bit
of drinking and everything," he said. "There were nights where it was kind
of like a rollercoaster, up or down, and myself, I would have liked to
have seen him totally clean up if we were gonna take this further and,
like, 'cause, gosh, we could've gone all around the world with it." [see

| CKY
Vs Megadeth |
Blabbermouth reports: CKY guitarist/vocalist
Deron Miller has slammed MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine for threatening
to cancel any shows where "full-on Satanic" bands are also scheduled to
appear. In a statement sent to BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Miller wrote, "reading
that ROTTING CHRIST has to cancel shows because of Dave Mustaine's recent
and absurdly sudden Christianity is one of the most obviously ridiculous
dramatic newslines in music. This from the guy that wrote 'Wake Up Dead'.
"Dave, I love MEGADETH, but JOIN REALITY.
METALLICA was more succesful...so what?! Get over it. And now all of a
sudden Christ is your savior... How weak. Take some credit for your own
accomplishments. [see full story for more]- Click

NIN Soon? |
Blabbermouth reports: Launch Radio Networks
reports: According to Trent Reznor, it won't be another six years before
another NINE INCH NAILS album surfaces. In a forum on the band's official
web site where Reznor and other members answer fan questions, a person
named Lindsay asked, "You've talked about another album being released
relatively soon. Can you tell us anything about it? Will it be a 'sister'
album to 'With Teeth'...? Will it sound similar to 'With Teeth'?" Reznor
replied, "I'm working on it right now � I think it's about to shift in
direction. We'll see. Stay tuned." [see full story for more]-

New Sabbath |
BW&BK reports: OZZY OSBOURNE has assured
cynical critics the newly reformed BLACK SABBATH will steer clear of the
recording studio, unless they write a batch of tunes on a par with their
rock classics.
The charismatic singer - who is touring
with the band this summer (05) - is aware a new disc of "half-assed" Sabbath
songs will leave music journalists in no doubt they're only back together
to make easy money. However, Osbourne insists if the songwriting skills
that launched them to prominence in the 1970s are still there, they may
have another album to add to their discography. [see full story for more]-

| Franz
Fringe Protest |
NME reports: FRANZ FERDINAND fans are petitioning
online for the return of singer ALEX KAPRANOS's fringe.
A statement from 'The Undersigned' on www.petitiononline.com/
reads: "If you aware of the Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand, you may
also be aware of their lead singer's late fringe. The fringe of Alexander
Kapranos symbolised a great many things to his fans - freedom, truth, beauty,
justice - and he also had to push it attractively out of his eyes in order
to see. We liked that.
"However, it has come to our attention
that the much beloved fringe of Mr Kapranos has been cruelly taken from
his forehead, to be replaced with a haircut that enables him to see. We
find this upsetting, shocking, infuriating and a variety of other words
that end in "ing". [see full story for more]- Click
