| Newsted
Vs Axl |
Metal Sludge reports: Metal Sludge has posted
a Q&A with Jason Newsted, here is what happened when the questions
turned towards Axl Rose�
Do you think Axl Rose will release "Chinese
Democracy" this year?
Jason: "Yeah, sure. Whatever. SUPERNOVA's
album will be out before his."
You've crossed paths with Axl. Is he crazy
or is he a genius?
Jason: "I haven't spent enough time with
him to give a judgment like that. As a fan coming out to see their favorite
band, and having the singer walk offstage or throw the mic down in frustration
because the monitors were funky, it's not professional and it's not giving
the people what they came for. Man, we did like 50 shows with Axl. We used
the same monitors every night. I don't remember James or myself complaining
once about that kind of stuff. The dude recorded some great vocal on some
great rock songs, but you don't sell 50,000 tickets and walk off the stage.
F*ck that!" [see full story for a lot more including crazy groupies, Tommy

| Ill
Nino Accident |
antiMusic reports: Ill Nino issued the following
statement: It is with sincere regret that we must announce that Ill Niño
will not be able to perform its upcoming European tour. Danny Couto, Ill
Niño's percussionist, and also semi-pro skateboarder, was in a skateboarding
accident late Wednesday (August 2nd) night. Danny landed on his wrist and
tore a ligament and is unable to use his right wrist and arm. This accident
makes it impossible for Danny to perform in the upcoming European tour.
Ill Niño works and lives like a family and each member is integral
to every show. Ill Niño feel that performing without Danny not only
takes away from the live show, but is unfair to the fans who expect nothing
less than an amazing show. We promise to make up the shows as soon as possible.
Thanks for supporting Ill Niño!- Click

From Within |
thetripwire reports: We were just alerted
to a posting on the official website of Death From Above 1979, where bassist
Jesse F. Keeler has announced they have called it quits.
The post reads: "I know it's been forever
since I wrote anything on here. I'm sure by now most of you assume the
band isn't happening anymore since there are no shows, no work on a new
album, etc. Well I wanted to let you know that your assumptions are correct.
We decided to stop doing the band... actually we decided that almost a
year ago."[see full story for more]- Click

to Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett.[see full story for more]-
