I co-wrote this one with Jon (Decious, The Pink Spiders) who played all the bass guitars on the EP and is one of my oldest friends. The chorus was an attempt to write something that The Clash would be proud of, and the verses are meant to be played by a high school marching band.

It was Jon who insisted on the one note guitar solo, which I originally hated. I wanted to have Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo for Michael Jackson's Beat It, but he wouldn't let it go. In the end, I find it to be the most charming moment on the whole record. I guess there's a reason why he's got a record deal and I don't. I wrote most of the lyrics right before I left Memphis- all the stuff about hating my job, getting dropped by girls, and not wanting anything that was offered to me comes from there. It's not a happy place, and I realize in retrospect that I sound like a brat. I guess that's rock and roll, though...take it or leave it.

"I am very pleased to announce that GUNS N' ROSES and I are now represented by the management team of Irving Azoff and Andy Gould. We are very excited and look forward to working with them and hope our relationship proves beneficial for everyone, especially the fans."

Trent took to the web on Thursday and made one cryptic announcement about the band reforming and one very clear one about the band's tour plans. Here is what he had to say (and yes he included some tour dates):

But what about modern hip-hop crimes. Plenty of those going 'round. Jam! reports: "Rapper T.I. pleaded guilty Thursday to federal weapons possession charges and is to be sentenced in one year, after completing a period of community service."

The Jam-ups keep coming with this story about Remy Ma: "Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma was led out of a Manhattan courtroom Thursday, weeping and in handcuffs after being convicted of shooting a woman outside a nightclub last summer."

Speaking in the new (May 2008) edition of UNCUT magazine, the Zep singer, commenting on the huge success of their December reunion show at London's O2 Arena, said: "Hopefully, one day, we could do it again. Our profit is - it's metaphysical."

Korn 's lineup was stable for the first 12 years and six albums of the band's existence, until guitarist Brian "Head" Welch left the group in early 2005 to devote his life to Christianity. Drummer David Silveria followed in late 2006, taking a "temporary hiatus" to spend time with his family and oversee his restaurant business.

Dave Matthews Band fan association members who have already purchased tickets through the Warehouse pre-sale will also receive a unique code in mid-September that will enable them to receive a free copy of the digital album via iTunes.

The eleven track album was recorded in January 2008 in Los Angeles and features the same line-up as the previous outing (Buzz, Dale as well as Jared & Coady from Big Business).

Speaking to Ryan Seacrest of Los Angeles's 102.7 KIIS-FM this morning (Thursday, March 27), Timbaland � who has worked with Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado and a host of other big names � called his collaboration with Cornell "the best work I've done in my career."

One of the attackers, Brendan Harris, 15, was found guilty of the murder of Sophie Lancaster. Another attacker, Ryan Herbert, has already pleaded guilty to the murder, according to the NME report which also says that "all five defendants have pleaded guilty to charges of causing grievous bodily harm."

For the uninitiated, The Cat Empire have been lauded for their insanely fun, high-intensity live shows. After all, they've traveled across five continents and have performed over 600 gigs. In September, they broke records at The Metro in Sydney by selling out eight consecutive nights at the venue. In the States they've visited virtually every corner of the country, selling out shows and playing festivals like Bonnaroo.
