| Proof
Fired First |
E! reports: It appears the burden is on Proof.
Authorities in Detroit confirmed today that the D12 rapper instigated a
deadly nightclub shooting early Tuesday that left him dead and another
man critically injured with a bullet wound to the head.
The incident occurred at club C.C.C. along
Eight Mile--a road immortalized by Proof's longtime pal Eminem in his hit
semi-autobiographical film--at approximately 4:30 a.m., after the bar remained
open illegally past its regular business hours. [see full story for more]-

Reunion rumor |
Metal Sludge reports: Our friends over at
www.melodicrock.com are saying this: While Metal Sludge continue their
crusade to get to the bottom of dealings within Velvet Revolver...a little
extra info has come my way this week.
If you were to believe the rumor mill,
plans for a Guns N Roses re-union have firmed, with the upcoming tour dates
expected to feature the original line-up (with drummer Matt Sorum from
the Use Your Illusion line-up). Apparently the guys have already started
rehearsals and plans for extending the current tour dates are being examined.
Also coming to light this week - The Cult
are apparently being looked at as a possible support band for the Guns
N Roses tour. [see full story for more]- Click

Charlotte |
punkbands reports: Punk rock legend Benji
Madden of Good Charlotte took time out from defiling gf Hillary Duff Saturday
night to throw with an obnoxious fan at nightclub Don Hill's in TriBeCa.
Sources say the tussle started when the guy grabbed Maddens hat and started
taunting him. Madden then: "wrestled him to the floor and started 'punching
the [bleep] out of him,' our tipster says. After the clubgoer grabbed Madden's
necklace, a security guard jumped in and put a choke hold on the instigator,
who was ultimately kicked out."
Mental health experts agree that if you've
ever gotten your ass kicked by Benji Madden, you should really go ahead
and kill yourself.[see full story for more]- Click

Vs Rap |
Submitted reports: It is sad, but also ironic
to say the least that a rapper whose lyrics boasted about shooting people
indiscriminately had his fate sealed by those very actions. Perhaps it
is time to stop and take a closer look at what the rap industry has become;
a sick, satanic world of violence, hate, and misogyny.
"Eminem, the Lord is calling you loud and
clear and I hope you have ears" insists John Conner, spokesperson for The
Resistance, a Christian association dedicated to fighting Satanism. "I
know what it's like to lose a great friend unexpectedly" explains Conner
"and my heart goes out to the friends and families. I'm not saying Proof
deserved this for rapping about murdering people, what I'm saying is the
culture of hip hop and rap music glorifies such behavior in their music,
but when it actually happens, that's when reality sets in, and the tears
show, breaking down the facade of the macho indestructible images these
artists portray."
I hope this serves as a wake up call to
change the climate in the rap industry. Our country is being sold out by
corrupt Illuminati politicians in Washington and there is so much good
rap could do, but the industry as a whole has become nothing but satanic
filth. What ever happened to Public Enemy and the likes of Chuck D?[see

Weiland |
Blabbermouth reports: The New York Post's
"Page Six" column published the following item in its April 11, 2006 edition:
"Scott Weiland 'stumbled' into the Key Club in Hollywood last week, according
to a witness � but a flack denies the claim. The supposedly sober VELVET
REVOLVER frontman, who's been in and out of rehab for drugs and booze,
later jumped onstage and belted out the GUNS N' ROSES classic, 'It's So
Easy', backed by club house band, METAL SKOOL. Since Weiland has been having
a vicious war of words with GN'R singer Axl Rose as of late, his selection
only fueled rumors that he was under the influence. But a spokeswoman for
Azoff Management, the powerhouse firm that handles VELVET REVOLVER, said
our source must have been bleary-eyed. 'There is no truth to that whatsoever,'
she said[see full story for more]- Click
