Our first thought is to ask if any First Amendment lawyers want to take a shot at this? The Blabbermouth story we quoted from clearly labeled this rumor as a rumor and later said they are based on unconfirmed reports. The real irony is they listed a bunch of artists at the end of the message saying the announcement will related to a few of them. So will the labels for the artists listed that have no part in this sue us for posting this "official" rumor? Had they sent out a message simply saying that the rumors were not true and asked us to correct the story, we would have no problem with that. But when they start threatening litigation is where we have an issue. As a result of this we will no longer cover 10th Street artists including Blondie, Buckcherry, Debbie Harry, DJ Ashba, Drowning Pool, Everclear, Hanson, Jonny Lives!, Marion Raven, Meat Loaf, Motley Crue, Papa Roach, Royal Underground, Sixx: AM, or The Exies. (We may make an exception if one of their artists overdoses or catches on fire from smoking while applying their hairspray.) We hate to boycott any artists due to the actions of their label or management, but to be threatened with litigation for covering them and reporting rumors clearly labeled as rumors, it's just not worth it. Besides there are plenty of more current artists to cover. So for the record we are thru with the Crue.
