Scott Ian Eats Crow

Now Ian says he misspoke. Here is what he has to say: I wanted to post something here regarding an interview that was recently posted on MTV.com. It was an interview with Jon Wiederhorn about the S.O.D. release Rise Of The Infidels (which I'm actually really digging!!!). After the S.O.D. questions we spoke about Anthrax and the situations with Joey Belladonna, John Bush and Corey Taylor. 

I need to clear up my comments regarding Joey. Some of the things I said were of an inflammatory nature and at the time I was not in full possession of the facts. From then til now, all the information has been brought to light and it was unprofessional of me to speak without all the facts and for this I apologize. I know how to admit when I am wrong and I retract what I said about Joey. I consider Joey a friend and I never meant to cause him distress in anyway and I hope we can move forward from this as friends. - The original comments can be found here

Jenny Owen Youngs and Sean Hayes Tour

They became aware of each other's music courtesy of Aimee Mann, an avid supporter of both artists. (Jenny recently opened for Ms. Mann in London and Sean sings background vocals on her next record.)

"Sean Hayes is a dreamboat." Jenny recently said in her typical deadpan style. "I find his music hypnotic, delicious, yet not too filling. I like his songs so much, I wish we weren't going on tour together so that we could have authentically anonymous sex." We're reasonably certain that she's joking.- more on this story
