 Nugent
Vs RATM |
Blabbermouth reports: Rock and roll legend
Ted Nugent � who has become both popular and criticized for his support
for hunting and conservative political views � and conservative commentator
Ann Coulter appeared on the "Hannity & Colmes" program on FOX News
on Wednesday (May 2) to discuss RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE singer Zack de
la Rocha's onstage proclamation at this past weekend's Coachella festival
that the "current administration . . . should be hung and tried and shot."
Zack then reportedly added, "We need to treat them like the war criminals
they are."
"We've disagreed with a lot of administrations
in the past, but none of our rhetoric included threatening lives," Nugent
said during his appearance on the program. "These guys [RAGE] are over
the top, but they're the lunatic fringe that even your average democrat
and liberal doesn't agree with. But unfortunately, nobody is silencing
these guys � or not necessarily silencing, but condemning this outrageous
violence that they're recommending." [see full story for a link to a video

Penis Pop |
Gigwise reports: Iggy Pop has defended himself
amidst allegations that he is obsessed with his manhood.
The 60-year-old punk veteran churned out
a series of explicit lyrics on his latest album �The Weirdness', leading
the moral brigade to point the finger at him.
But Pop firmly believes that there is nothing
wrong about talking about his penis, telling Rolling Stone: "You write
about things of importance to you. And it's gotta be for real. Do I think
about my dick? All the time. I gotta a right to sing about it." [see full

Season Burns Out |
Blabbermouth reports: Jacksonville, Florida's
BURN SEASON has called it quits. The group's vocalist Damien Starkey has
issued the following statement on the matter:
"I'm sorry to break the news to everyone
but we have officially broke up. After six years, two record deals, and

| Blackie
is Fine |
Blabbermouth reports: W.A.S.P. frontman frontman
Blackie Lawless has shot down as false reports that the group cut short
its April 28, 2007 gig in Karlskrona, Sweden after he complained of pain
in his chest.
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported
in yesterday's edition (Wednesday, May 2) that W.A.S.P. played a shortened
set in Karlskrona, Sweden so that Lawless could be rushed to a local hospital
for observation.
However, according to a posting on W.A.S.P.'s
official web site, Blackie "is perfectly fine and this is just a sick rumor."
