| Axl
Vs Slash |
Gunsnroses.us reports: The following press
release is the official response from W. Axl Rose in regards to the lawsuits
filed by Saul "Slash" Hudson and Michael "Duff" McKagan: "W. Axl Rose,
on Friday March 3, 2006 responded to one of Saul "Slash" Hudson's baseless
lawsuits by filing a counterclaim asking the Federal Court to confirm his
ownership of his own creative works. Slash and Michael "Duff" McKagan had
previously filed cases both in Federal Court and in the Los Angeles Superior
Court making numerous false allegations about Axl. Mr. Rose believes that
once apprised of the true facts the Judge or Jury deciding these lawsuits
will rule in Axl's favor on every issue before them.
More surprising to Axl are recent media
reports that Slash (Saul Hudson) is claiming that he has always been supportive
of Axl Rose and the new Guns N' Roses. Slash's actions in recent years
have in fact been anything but supportive.[see full story for more]-

was really like. Portman beating up a pal, hurling chairs across a room,
punching walls and smashing a bottle over her head. She ranted, "All the

| Jermaine
Vs Jacko |
hecklerspray reports: Michael Jackson has
had a rough year - being accused of child molestation, being accused of
animal cruelty, being accused of wanting to duet with Westlife, but he
can always count on his family.
That's not strictly true, if recent reports
are to be believed. Far from standing firmly behind Michael, older brother
Jermaine has been trying to sell a book all about Michael Jackson. Specifically
about how much Michael Jackson loves those kiddies.

| Unholy
Alliance Dates - Slayer Recording |
antiMusic reports: The Ozzfest corporation
will have some real metal competition this year from none other than the
mighty Slayer who will headline the The Unholy Alliance Tour Preaching
to the Perverted which will also feature an impressive array of metal from
the likes of Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and Thine Eyes Bleed!
The evil mayhem will kick off the rather appropriate date of 6-6-06.
Wait, it does get better! Instead of shelling
out a hundred bucks or more to sit through the latest crop of mallcore
darlings (that bought their slot) waiting to get to the good stuff, the
tickets for a full day of metal at the Unholy Alliance Tour will top out
at $39.00.
The wait is almost over for a new Slayer
album as well. According to their publicist the original line up of the
band (Tom Araya/bass, vocals, Kerry King/guitars, Jeff Hanneman/guitars,
and Dave Lombardo/drum) have entered a Los Angeles-area studio to record
their next studio album with Josh Abraham (Korn, Velvet Revolver, Atreyu)
producing and Rick Rubin executive producing the effort. The as yet untitled
album will be released on Slayer's long-time label, Rubin's American Recordings/Warner
Bros. Records, and is expected out this fall.[see full story for more including
