Youth Details |
CMJ reports: Now that Sonic Youth has sent
out early copies of their latest LP, the long national nightmare of trying
to figure out the album's title and tracklist is finally over. It looks
like the new record is called Rather Ripped, not 'Sonic Death' or 'Do You
Believe In Rapture?' as previously reported. "Do You Believe In Rapture?"
has instead been reserved for one of the track's names. Rather Ripped will
be out June 13 on Geffen.[see full story for tracks]-

Update: Our good friends at Talking Metal
reported the following: Clear Channel's official website announced that
the long awaited Guns N' Roses album, "Chinese Democracy," would arrive
on store shelves in April, so TalkingMetal.com contacted Axl's management
to get the real scoop. Sanctuary Management told TalkingMetal.com that
the Clear Channel article was "interesting" but stressed that they will
issue an official press release when a release date is confirmed.-

sources, the OZZFest/METALLICA rumour is getting bigger. The Bay Area thrashers

Over |

from Limp Bizkit won't be happy to hear what Wes Borland had to say to
MTV News. "We're officially on hiatus, maybe even officially over," the
guitarist said. "It's kind of up in the air. No one said, 'We're done as
a band.' Everyone's just doing their own thing, and [some members] don't
have time for this band anymore. I haven't quit, but I've also decided
to stop thinking about Limp.[see full story for more]-

Halen RIP? |
KNAC reports: Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony
was interviewed in February 2006 for the April issue, which is out now.
...On the current status of Van Halen: "Well never say never but we're
currently in a state of limbo. After the reunion tour ended so abruptly
we all went into our own corners and truthfully Ed doesn't want to tour
right now or maybe ever again. I don't know what he's thinking at this
point. So I would say that we're on a temporary hiatus that possibly could
become permanent, you never know. With that said I realize that's not much
of an answer but that's really where things are right now and tomorrow
it could all change again."[see full story for A TON more, he discusses
a lot of issues like the reunion with Roth, the 04 tour etc]-
