| Axl
Wants Reunion? |
Day in rock reports: Metal Sludge is running
excerpts from an interesting interview with Adam Bomb about the recent
Adler's Appetite Europe Tour fiasco. He goes into some details about what
went down and Adler doesn't come off that well. But one of the more interesting
tidbits in the interview was this one from Adam Bomb "Funnily enough, Izzy
Stradlin called me the same day the tour ended. We spoke for 2 hours. He
wanted to come to Portugal to jam with us.
"To me he was more interested in checking,
on behalf of Axl Rose, Steven's real conditions for an eventual Guns N'Roses
reunion. I told Izzy that I had to leave the tour because Adler was out
of control and probably he wasn't able to reach Portugal. And he didn't."
You can read the full story link for the gruesome details about this tour
from Adam's perspective.

| Britney
Baby Drop |
TMZ reports: Oops, she almost did it again.
Britney Spears stumbled this afternoon as she was leaving a New York City
hotel and almost dropped little Sean Preston.
We're told Britney was holding a drink
in her left hand and Sean in her right as she maneuvered through a crowd
of onlookers. Britney moves through the crowd and then she suddenly trips,
the baby's head goes backward and his hat flies off his head. Britney regained
her balance and the baby seemed ok. [see full story for more]-

It Reissues |
punkbands reports: On July 25th we will release
Over It Outer Banks. This album is comprised of the long out-of-print and
largely sought after EPs, Over It and Hindsight is Always 20/20, digitally
re-mastered, and with brand new artwork that is a companion piece to Over
ItWelcome to Virginia: The Ready Series. These songs were written when
Over It were all in High School in a suburb of Washington DC, and span
the time when they entered into young adulthood. That growth is mirrored
in the music that this seminal emopunk band played, inspiring dozens of
bands in the process. On Outer Banks, Over It finds their signature sound
in fast, technical, hard-hitting yet melodic rock that is now commonly
known as emopunk. [see full story for more]- Click
