Day in Rock reports: Live Nation/Clear Channel
reports that Guns N' Roses will release the long awaited Chinese Democracy
album next month. The report however does not specify where this information
came from.
This news comes after weeks of speculation
about the imminent release of the album after several tracks leaked and
Axl Rose playing the CD for several people. However, nothing official has
been announced as of yet but the band are set to play several festivals
in Europe this summer.
antiMusic's dolemint offered up a review
of the leaked tracks a couple weeks ago. Here is part of what he had to
say about the track "Better": This is the third leak, and this song simply
puts a smile on my face. It has chart-topper written all over it, but without
selling out to today's scene. There's very few songs that I thoroughly
enjoy on my first listen, but "Better" can be added to that short list.
It's a definite hard rocker that includes a head-bangable bridge with a
slight industrial edge, but without Axl sounding like a poseur. With "Better,"
Axl's shaping a style of current music instead of copying it. Hooks, melody,
and the GN'R vibe. Thumbs way the hell up on this demo. [see full story

| Metallica
Ozzfest? |
BW&BK reports: According to BW&BK
sources, the OZZFest/METALLICA rumour is getting bigger. The Bay Area thrashers
are "supposed to" announce their North American tour plans when they return
from South Africa after their March 25th show at Green Point Stadium in
Cape Town, South Africa. Metallica's schedule has them booked for June
and two dates in August - one of which (August 13th at Summer Sonic Festival
in Osaka, Japan) coincides with an OZZFest date. However, this leaves Metallica's
schedule open between July 1st and August 9th.[see full story for more]-

| Stapp
Porn Ban |
hecklerspray reports: Today is a sad day indeed
- whatever chances any of us had of watching a tape of redneck singer Kid
Rock and scrawny God botherer Scott Stapp having sex with four women have
vanished entirely.
Because Kid Rock has successfully managed
to extend the ban on his manky-sounding sex tape being released. The news
will take a load off the mind of Kid Rock and Scott Stapp, who can rest
easy knowing that nobody will be able to see them at their most vulnerable
and intimate; and also everyone else in the world can relax, too, knowing
that the chances of Scott Stapp whining like a girl about the sex tape
have been considerably reduced.[see full story for more]-

Vs Managers |

record, Live At Stubb's. Matisyahu, who currently has two records charting
on CMJ (both the live album and his first studio LP Youth which was No.
1 on CMJ's Retail 100 chart), had three years remaining on his contract
with JDub, a non-profit management and record label group created to promote
Jewish music. The label's founders, Aaron Bisman and Jacob Harris, will

Plans |
Blabbermouth reports: Launch Radio Networks
reports: Does the current THE CULT reunion mean we'll hear a new album
from the band?
Guitarist Billy Duffy told Launch that
he's not sure whether he and frontman Ian Astbury will record new music
or not. "We'll give it a shot," he said. "We've always written songs together.
We'll do the same thing, and if they're any good then we'll maybe get them
out to the public. You know, there's no grand design, just a really simple
process. If we write anything worth releasing, we'll release it."[see full

Prince |
BW&BK reports: VELVET REVOLVER drummer
Matt Sorum (ex-GUNS N' ROSES, THE CULT) has posted the following message
on his official web site regarding the songwriting process for the band's
second album:
"Had a great day in Drac Studios [Matt's
studio] today [Friday, March 17] working with Duff [McKagan, Velvet Revolver
bassist] on some songs. We are coming up with some breakthrough stuff.
I'm getting excited. One song sounds like a cross between ZEPPELIN and
PRINCE. Duff loves Prince. Great riff for Slash. Today we did one that
is very heavy with a sick groove. With some synth keyboard part. A la a
band called REFUSED. Who we all dig."[see full story for more]-
