A lot of news came out since Friday's report, so we have an rather lengthy report today.

Coheed Vs. Canada
Day in Rock reports: Some Canadian fans of Coheed and Cambria are a bit miffed at the band (or rather one member of the band) following their recent appearance in Calgary. A few angry fans logged on to the band's official website message board to tell the tale of how Claudio took to the stage, reportedly drunk, and started bad mouthing Canadians and according to one fan in attendance he kept "taunting the crowd to throw bottles at him. The stage was eventually being bombarded with endless bottles, and it looked like the rest of the band was pretty pissed off that this fool had ruined the show. But Claudio just kept laughing like he didn't even give a f**k." 

The band has not yet officially made a comment about the incident, but the moderator of the official message board posted this message: "Claud just f**ked up. He was having a bad day and tried to make it better by drowning himself in booze. He just happened to be in Calgary. I can assure you he has nothing against Canada (except maybe the boarder crossings)... if yesterday was in Wisconsin, the Jack Daniels in him would have probably called everyone cheese heads, in Chicago made fun of the Cubs, etc.. He was just in that zone and unfortunately some people had to witness it. [If you want to read more about the incident, click the full story link] - Click Here for the Full Story 

Durst Endorses Antichrist?
Day in Rock reports: Fred Durst has checked in on his online blog about the upcoming U.S. election and talks about the leader he feels the world needs. It's not Bush or Kerry, instead he describes his ideal leader; a description that may lead some hardcore Christians (or people familiar with the doctrine) to think Durst is describing the early characteristics of the Antichrist and how he is supposed to come to power. (as the reader that sent us the link pointed out) We have to give Fred the benefit of the doubt that he is sincere, but it does make for a fun headline and some interesting speculation. Or maybe he is hoping for the job? Here is excerpt from his posting, see the full story link for the full text:  "we don't need a new president. we don't need the old one either. we need a true leader. someone who speaks for us as humans sharing a planet with many breeds of the same. when a true leader walks our land we will know, we will listen, and we will follow effortlessly. there won't be any campaigns and there will be no marketing. this leaders presence, words, values, integrity and heart will be desired by all of the world. the power of faith this man will obtain, not only from people in america, but everyone around the world, will be the reason our governments will feel threatened and take actions to remove this person from our quest for humanity. this leader will speak from his heart and be adored by all walks of life. this leader will become so powerful that our constitutions will be over ridden and rewritten to reflect a society once dreamed of and now forgotten in our corrupt universe…."[more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Brujeria Arrest
Blabbermouth reports: BRUJERIA singer Juan Brujo was arrested for possession of an illegal weapon (machete) and illegal drugs following the band's performance in Tijuana, Mexico on Saturday, July 17. BRUJERIA guitarist Dino Cazares (a.k.a. Asesino, ex-FEAR FACTORY) sent the following report to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding the incident: 

"The venue [in Tijuana] hired police officers as security for the concert because of the reputation that BRUJERIA has. Just before we were about to hit the stage, the police stopped Brujo for his machete that he takes on stage, they pulled him aside and questioned him, asking him what it's for and why he was wearing the Mexican flag bandana on his face. They said he was desecrating the flag, which is a major offense in Mexico. They continued to search him and found a substantial amount of a controlled substance (marijuana)... a financial compromise was agreed to only allow Brujo to perform the show but still to be arrested immediately after the band's performance and taken to jail, where he spent three days negotiating his release."

Digital Noise reports: Mushroomhead singer Jeffery Nothing has confirmed that the band have parted ways with their record label, Republic/Universal Records.

They simply said they didn't know what to do, that they tried everything they usually try and we're a different animal... no hard feelings and best wishes. The union, which seemed great at the start, had limitations. We couldn't grow within. So now we're basically starting from a sort of square 1 for about the 10th time.. what else is new? We will continue and we will get stronger as we have every other time we've been in this position but we are not going away, we'll "NEVER LET IT GO."

AC/DC Lane Challenged
Herald Sun reports: THE owner of Melbourne institution Rosati will fight a move to rename Corporation Lane in a tribute to rock band AC/DC. 

Piero Gesualdi said the plan being considered by Melbourne City Council to call it ACDC Lane was inappropriate. 

Mr Gesualdi, whose restaurant stands close to Corporation Lane, said the group had no relevance to the street. "AC/DC, as a band, has no affiliation with this area except for being belted out at 3am from a speaker," he wrote in a letter of objection to council. 

"AC/DC would have no idea where this area was unless they came to Rosati for a coffee on their way to a gig," Mr Gesualdi said. [see full story for more] - Click Here for the Full Story

One Year Ago Today: No Zep Reunion
Day in Rock reports: [Here is one of the Top stories from one year ago today in the Day in Rock - see the full story link to read the full report from a year ago] Blabbermouth.net reports: In an exclusive interview with Britain's Sun, LED ZEPPELIN guitar legend Jimmy Page made it clear that while he feels that rock is back, its revival won't include a reunited ZEPPELIN — at least for now. 

"The group members have not actually discussed [a possible reunion]," Page said. "Everyone thinks we're doing it and it's really aggravatingbecause if there was going to be a tour, we'd make an announcement. It's got nothing to do with us and it's absolutely annoying. It won't happen until such time as we've had a chance to talk about it musically. We'd do it quite clandestinely and see whether it's a going concern. Just because the last project has been a success it doesn't mean we'd be more inclined to do it." - Click Here for the Full Story
