Winehouse Gets Away With Crack Video |
Gigwise has the story on the cracked justice: Amy Winehouse will face no further action over a video which supposedly showed her smoking crack cocaine. The singer questioned earlier this month after voluntarily attending a police station in East London.
The arrest was in connection with a video that was passed to the Metropolitan Police in January. "The Crown Prosecution Service has now reviewed the case and no further action is being taken," a police spokesperson said.

Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park To Be Guitar Heroes |
Aside from the special-editions of Guitar Hero III, the true successor will have some funky new additions including custom song creation and support for multiple instruments, reports C3 News.
Guitar Hero IV, due for release this fall, is said to include drum and vocal work (much like EA's Rock Band effort), alongside the expected Bass and Guitar. [Will they then change the name of the game? We also hear that Gibson is working on their own alternative to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. It rumored be a package that includes a real guitar and a real amp, but you'll have to come up with the music on your own.]

Lamb of God Drummer Moonlighting |
Chris commented on his new monthly column: "I'm flattered and amazed to be asked to contribute a column to the magazine. As I mention in the column this month, I'm not the typical MD model. I'm not the Berklee kid - I'm the kid with the long hair and denim jacket that figured it out my way. I hope the column serves as a beacon to players like myself who may feel overwhelmed by MD magazine. It's great of MD to recognize the organic, self-taught style, and I hope to empower those readers who play from their heart, not just from the exercises we read. I'm already receiving very positive feedback and questions from readers and can't wait bring a bit different perspective to them."
Readers and fans are encouraged to write in with questions for Chris. Send an e-mail to [email protected] with "For Chris Adler" in the subject line.

Slightly Stoopid Tailgate 2008 Summer Tour |
This will be the band's first-ever sole headlining trek of amphitheatres and will feature Pepper and reggae legends Sly & Robbie. And let's not forget the arrival of the group's tenth release overall - the odds and ends collection "Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid" - which is the latest release for the group's newly formed label, Stoopid Records.
"We did an album called 'Closer to the Sun,' and we had a bunch of songs - we went in and recorded 50 or 60 songs because we were having so much fun," explains Kyle. "We had way too much for that album - we put out "Not Stoned Enough' originally as a six-song bonus CD, only available in a limited pressing, with the pre-sale of the original album. People ended up liking it but not being able to get it. We went in and recorded some more songs in a session with the Inner Circle guys at their Circle House Studios in Miami, added a couple of songs from here and there, and just wrapped it up."

Megadeth Vs Dickheads |
"Some dickhead threw a beer or something on the soundboard, thus making Dave, and I'm sure the whole crew, pissed off and on edge. ---- getting thrown on stage fueled the tension and at the pinicle, some dickheads ran across stage during 'A Toute Le Monde' causing the band to walk off stage for 20 or so minutes. (I presume during that time, Dave and co. kicked the f**king sh*t out of the guy who got caught on stage.)
"Dave comes back on stage to give the lowdown and chew out security. Gives a solid speech on the situation and the utter lack of respect it is to have sh*t thrown on stage/people get on stage."

10 Years Week: Day 4 "Drug of Choice" |
This song was really fun to create. It's a bit out of character for us. It has a bit of a punk rock feel to it and is so much fun to play. This song is simply about American pop culture and our fascination with being completely over-stimulated. The first line of the song is "Sex always sells, death is a thrill, entertain my lack of patience." I think that line sums up the whole song. Considering all the media coverage of people like Britney Spears and all the other televised train wrecks out there it's pretty damn apparent that as a culture we love to be the fly on the nearest wall to a disaster. America is a buffet of sex, drugs, rock & roll, and whatever else you want. "What is your drug of choice? Pick your poison and enjoy!"
