Metal Sludge Sludged by Hacker

Idolator.com reports: Our pals at MetalSucks.net noticed that the hard rock scandal sheet Metal Sludge has been the victim of a recent hack; it's the latest sad chapter in the site's recent decline, which was previously marked by less frequent updates and a sorta gentler tone about even the most absurd aspects of the L.A. Guns/L.A. Guns fracturing. Normally, we wouldn't blink our eye at a lonely guy who calls himself "Whizzo" doing his thing on the Internet, but judging by this thread on the site's Gossip Board, the hack has been in effect since Sunday afternoon--an eternity in Internet time, which is worrisome to us. Is this the end?[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Sid and Nancy Conspiracy

punkbands reports: ...a former bandmate of Sid Vicious says the iconic bassist was not the one who killed Sid's girlfriend, Nancy Spungen in 1978. "Sid didn't kill Nancy, I know that for a fact. I know who did it. He was a drug dealer from New Jersey who robbed the flat where Nancy was stabbed. Why would Sid rob himself?

The revelation comes from Steve Dior on postchronicle.com. Dior briefly played with Vicious in a band called The Idols.

"This guy's fingerprints were on the knife, but New York Police didn't want to get into it. It was a case closed if they pinned it on Sid, they didn't care if Sid Vicious went to prison. I'm trying to tell more people about it."[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
