Good
Charlotte Fight |
MTV reports: First it was former Panic! at
the Disco bassist Brent Wilson, who was fired, then threatened to sue his
ex-bandmates. Now it's former Good Charlotte drummer Chris Wilson, who
left the band last year due to "personal health problems" and has since
kept busy manning the kits for Jacksonville, Florida, pop-punkers the Summer
Obsession. When his departure from GC was announced, it was followed by
the de rigueur "we love him and wish him well" statement from his bandmates.
Wilson contends those sentiments were less than sincere, given the actions
of Good Charlotte masterminds Joel and Benji Madden in the year following
his split.
"So I've kept my mouth shut for long enough,"
Wilson wrote on his MySpace page. "It has been roughly a year and a half
since my departure from GC, and all I can say is, 'What the f---?' How
many times can I possibly get stabbed in the back? I know I f---ed up,
and I'm sincerely sorry for what I put you through. But why are you guys
acting as if everything is OK? Why don't you start telling the kids about
how I never made one cent off of any merch, CDs [or] DVDs, royalties (of
songs I played on), publishing (songs I played on) or TV performances (in
which I signed contracts stating exactly how much I was supposed to receive).

About Shooting |
blabbermouth.net reports: MEGADETH mainman
Dave Mustaine defended his lyrics during a Montreal concert Wednesday night
(Sept. 27), saying Dawson College gunman Kimveer Gill was "not worthy of
being a MEGADETH fan," according to CBC News.
In his blog posted on VampireFreaks.com,
Gill, who described himself as a huge MEGADETH fan, had singled out the
song "A Tout le Monde", urging others to listen to it. He wrote in his
blog that the song helped convince him to go on his shooting rampage that
killed one and injured 19.[see full story for more]- Click

Park Leave The Mall? |
MTV reports: Somewhere, LINKIN PARK belong.
It's just not where they've belonged in the past.
"We're going for the music that inspired
us, rather than the nü-metal type of sound," frontman Chester Bennington
said of the band's third studio album, due next year. "We're ripping that
out. It's completely gone."
In its place is a mix of punk and classic-rock
elements with vintage hip-hop beats, the singer said.[see full story for

Piermont
Rocktober Releases |
PR reports: Piermont Records is gearing up
to release two new records form Motion Commotion and Aspen It Is during
October. * All thoroughly educated students of the classical school, the
four members of Motion Commotion have varying degrees in music composition,
instrumentation, and media from Universities such as the Peadbody Conservatory
of Music, John Hopkins, UNC, and SUNY. Now adjoined and based in New York,
the quartet's expansive knowledge of traditional theories and methodologies
add an unsurpassed level of sophistication to their take on indie-rock
compositions. With the addition of electronic backdrops, strings and reeds,
tape splicing, counterpoint theory and a multimedia live experience, Motion
Commotion's pop inclinations reach out to those with refined tastes and/or
appreciation for high tradition within the context of contemporary accessible
rock. What's more? The release was engineered and produced Jesse Cannon
who's worked with a variety of acts including The Cure and Dillinger Escape
Plan. * Nestled within the power-pop nesting ground of New Jersey's townships,
Aspen It Is embodies youthful musical appeal. Playing in the vein of some
locale's celebrated forerunners, their sound constitutes lock-tight addictive
melodies and the safer side of mainstreamed punk influence. Undoubtedly
geared towards the young bucks, the band's first full length label backed
release is one for ears with a penchant for sugar-coated hooks. Check out
the band's at the full story link.- Click
