Singer Rejects Velvet Revolver Job Offer |
At that time Duff McKagan admitted that Jennings could make a good replacement: "Shooter's great, actually," he told CR's Scott Rowley. "That's a good idea. He's does a southern rock thing, but his old band was straight up kinda rock. He's a talented guy man, he's pretty awesome. He would be good."
In a new interview with Classic Rock, Jennings confirms that he was asked � but turned the band down. And not just once. [before he returned to his family musical roots, Shooter headed up Stargunn, a popular hard rock band in Los Angeles that had a style similar to Aerosmith meets Buckcherry but with a country kick listen here)and stylistically he would be a good match for Velvet Revolver. His name would also make for a good fit.]

Miley Cyrus Vows To Ruin Radiohead |
The Disney character apparently sounded off during an interview with a radio station, claiming that Radiohead, the band she claims is the reason she loves music, didn't drop everything they were doing to give her the time of day. Here we thought that Iron Maiden was her favorite band.
Apparently her handlers reached out to their handlers expressing the poptart's interest in meeting the famed UK rockers and Miley's people were told that "the band doesn't really do that."
"The reason I'm in this business is to make people happy," she said implying that Radiohead aren't according to NME. "I left 'cause I was so upset. I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone." Gotta love Tween poptart egos!
