N' Roses US Tour |
antiMusic reports: Guns N' Roses just completed
their 32 date European tour and the band plans to tour the U.S. in September.
Axl said in a statement released by GNR management, "We have had an amazing
tour and it has been fantastic for the band and I to experience this. I
approached this last show with equal parts determination, obligation, responsibility
and insanity. It was an amazing night. I want to thank everyone in Europe
and the U.K. for inspiring us and for giving us the opportunity to play
for them. We are now looking forward to the U.S. in September." [no word

| City
Vs Slayer |
Blabbermouth reports: The city of Fullerton,
California has demanded that the SLAYER artwork be removed immediately
from the 17 SLAYER bus benches scattered throughout the city. The bus benches,
which "went up" over this past weekend, are promoting SLAYER's new album,
"Christ Illusion". This past Monday (July 31), the city officials called
the company that the band's record label (American) hired to put the ads
in place, demanding that they remove the SLAYER ad/artwork, reportedly
because they did not like the name of the band, which they feel refers
to a murderer. They are also apparently offended by the antichrist and
skull logo on the bench artwork.[see full story for more]-

Aiken Wants to Know What Love Is |
Faded Youth reports: [Faded Youth has posted
an update about their favorite whipping boy; here is part of their report]
Clay Aiken is hearkening back to his 'American Idol' roots, rehashing a
bunch of tired old, karaoke "love" songs on his new CD titled: 'A Thousand
Different Ways' (oh the jokes write themselves here) due out September
19.
The first is a take on, of all things,
Foreigner's 'I Want To Know What Love Is', sung as a duet with female reality
star Suzie McNeil from TV's Rockstar:Supernova (due out with her own CD
winter of '06) - Because one reality star is never enough!
Then there is the old, schmaltzy 'Without
You' originally by Air Supply that Mariah and so many others breathed new
life into. I'm told that he also does a cover of 'When I see you Smile'
by 80s rock band Bad English. Fans are noticing all the songs are "gender
neutral" and some are wondering if this CD will receive little if any airplay
at all based on these songs. What's perhaps more interesting is with a
little over a month out from the CD release is that NO RCA promotion has
been done (not even an official press release yet). [see the full story
for more including links to mp3s of some of these songs]-
