Axl Rose Leaves Guns N' Roses Fans Hanging

Axl Rose has apparently canceled all upcoming Guns N' Roses tour dates after a technical glitch caused another controversial late start gig this past weekend.

Guns N' Roses played what was billed as their only North American tour date of the year on Friday but the crowd was upset after the band took to the stage after a two hour delay. Then on Sunday a post on Axl Rose's official Twitter account announced that the plug has been pulled on all future dates.

The Twitter post from Sunday evening simply read, "All upcoming Guns N' Roses dates are officially cancelled. Please contact your place of purchase for any refunds." This would include the Reading and Leeds festival, Australian, UK and European dates. - But was it Axl that posted it?

Evergreen Terrace Deny Being Arrested For Beating Up Girl

Evergreen Terrace have issued a lengthy statement to give their side of the story about a fight that broke out at their show last Thursday (August 12th) in the Pittsburgh suburb of Cheswick where online claims had the band arrested for "beating up a girl". Here is the band's side of things: Because of the amount of attention that the 'ET fight' rumor has caused, we want to answer your questions and clear up what happened at our show on 8/12 in Cheswick, PA. We attempted to let these ridiculous comments pass and not to take part in the absurdity, but because the rumors continue-even if by only a small group of people - we think our fans deserve the truth. Craig and Jake, a crew member of the tour, (NOT Andrew) were sitting by a red car (not on it).

A girl approached them and told them to get off her boyfriend's car. They told the girl they weren't on the car and to chill out. Craig asked where her boyfriend was. The boyfriend walked up and both parties began s*** talking. The girl dumped a beer on Craig and Jake and threw the beer can at them. Craig stood up. He and the boyfriend lunged at each other. The boyfriend tackled Craig to the ground causing Craig to land on his back. The boyfriend hit Craig 3 times, and the girl jumped in swinging. Craig was on his back, his arms up to block. Jake and witnesses pulled the boyfriend and the girl off. There was a large crowd of people by this time. The boyfriend sustained his injuries from someone else (not in the band) after being pulled off Craig. When Craig got up, the girl ran toward him again. Craig shoved her away and walked off. She did not fall on the ground from this action. Later Craig went back to the area to get his phone. The boyfriend apologized to Craig, said the whole thing was stupid and that the girl was drunk.

Thirty minutes after the incident, Andrew (who was not at the fight by the car) approached the boyfriend, took his cigarette, and asked why he was starting s***. They exchanged words. Andrew blew smoke in the boyfriend's face, handed back the cigarette, and the boyfriend punched Andrew in the face, causing a cigarette burn on Andrew's cheek. Cops who were in plain view ran over and arrested the boyfriend for assault on Andrew. Ten minutes after the boyfriend's arrest, Andrew told the cops that he wasn't pressing charges on the boyfriend because he felt he had instigated the punch by blowing smoke in his face. The cops let the boyfriend go. - more on this story

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler Idol Dreams Are Idle

Will Aerosmith's Steven Tyler be hired as a new judge on American Idol? Apparently, he doesn't even know despite his bandmate Joe Perry saying, "We're told it's a done deal."

When asked by an online tabloid if he would be appearing on American Idol, he responded, "You know … I don't know … they haven't called me yet. They've got to lay out the bread for me baby!" more. Tyler has previously only confirmed that an offer was made, but appeared to be leaning towards taking the gig, "I'm probably going to be a judge on 'American Idol.' I'm doing it. What do you think? I'm doing it."

But the lack of contact from American Idol's producers doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have the gig as one of the show's other judges who is largely rumored to be getting the axe hasn't been told of her fate yet. - more on this story

Juggalos Attack Tila Tequila

Our friends over at the1stfive.com confirm everyone's worst fears about Jugalos: This past weekend the pop culture train wrecks of Tila Tequila and ICP's Juggalo fan base met head first and the results got ugly.

According to a statement released by Tequila describing the event, "I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, dudes were throwing huge stone rocks in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair … cuz they threw firecrackers on stage." She says the fans then grabbed literal sh*t from the porta potties to throw at her.

CNN reports that Tequila was then chased by the crowd back to her trailer where the mob broke her trailer windows and the windows of her SUV before she was finally able to escape. However CNN has a comment from a performer at the fest, who wishes to remain anonymous in fear of "Juggalo retaliation", who says Tequila was taunting the crowd from the moment she got on stage. - more on this story

Nothing Has Yet Come of MGMT and Paul McCartney Collaboration

MGMT have gone public about the rumored collaboration with Paul McCartney. Gibson reports: It all started a few weeks ago, when Sir Paul McCartney mentioned that he was a massive fan of MGMT and said that he would love to work with the Brooklyn-based band.

Since that time, the indie heroes have fielded questions as to the when's and where's of this titillating team-up.

Singer Andrew VanWyngarden has now put those rumors to rest. Speaking to Spinner at Lollapalooza, VanWyngarden said, "We did play a show with him (McCartney) last summer at Fenway Park, which was really cool, but nothing has really come of the collaboration part of it. We still would really like to do that. We like Paul McCartney's songwriting abilities, his musical sensibilities. His bass playing is unreal. He is definitely my favorite bass player." - more on this story

Singled Out: Me Talk Pretty

Welcome to Singled Out! where we ask artists to tell us the inside story of their latest single. Today Julia from Me Talk Pretty tells us about "Wake Up!" and "Brokenhearted" from their new EP "We Are Strangers". We now turn it over to Julia for the story:

"Wake Up!" is the first single off our debut album We Are Strangers and is probably the song that has the most meaning to me and the band as a whole. "Wake Up!" was first introduced to the world as part of the soundtrack to EA Sports' NHL10. The song, which never passes unnoticed in any circumstances, was one of the most loved tracks on the game and we continue to get inundated with letters from fans asking for us to post the lyrics up on our website, or the story behind. "Wake up!" was written during some of the most difficult moments of my life and pays homage to the person I loved the most, the person who brought me to the United States to offer me a better life, but, unfortunately, never got to see me perform or even more, never got the chance to watch me reach the places that, she herself, never would have dreamed of. The person I speak of here would be my mother. She passed away unexpectedly 2 years ago and I was helpless. She never got the chance to be happy for or proud of me as I always imagined she would. The lyrics are a journey into our relationship, the struggles that we had together coming to a new country for a better/new life, and the moment when it all ended and the memories took over. In the beginning, I wasn't very open about what the song talks about as it was very fresh and hard to put it out there. However, over time, since it reached so many hearts, I felt like it would be OK to let people know the story behind it. In the video we've shot for "Wake Up!" I'm playing my mom's role as well as myself. I made her look glam, but she really was a simple woman with a huge heart. The video is in rotation on MTVU right now.

The second song with a great story behind it is "Brokenhearted". Besides being the most challenging song to sing live, it was also written during challenging moments. It talks about jumping into a relationship before you're ready and not over the previous one. Not necessarily still in love, but more likely still confused. And so now you're into a new relationship and I'm assuming we're good to start it. I'm not aware of the hurt feelings and all of this baggage he's coming in with. Obviously he's not ready to truly fall in love. It happens so often that people get involved in a relationship just so that they can get over things that happened in the past one and they can't really commit to you in their heart. I find that somehow selfish. The main question in the song is: now that we kinda are together, could we make it work?

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the songs, listen for yourself, check out the "Wake Up!" video and learn more about the EP - right here!

Smashing Pumpkins New Music Inspired By 70s Rockers UFO, Rainbow and Queen

Billy Corgan is looking back to the glory days of arena rock for inspiration. Gibson has the story: Smashing Pumpkins frontman (and sole remaining founding member) Billy Corgan recently spoke to Spin.com about the new music he's releasing song by song through the Internet. The Chicago native said that he's been looking for "clarity" in his music and cited some inspirations.

"I've been listening a lot to mid-'70s rock, like UFO, Rainbow and Queen, and from a production point of view, there's actually not a lot going on," he said. "But you can hear everything, so when Ritchie Blackmore plays you really hear it."

Corgan, who has been releasing all 44 songs from the new Pumpkins album Teargarden By Kaleidyscope one tune at a time, said he has been on a quest to simplify the music. - more on this story

Deep Purple Break Up The Focus of Forthcoming Rockumentary

Rockumentary and Deep Purple fans, you'll have something new to check out come 2011. Hennemusic reports:

Deep Purple's 1976 break-up gets the documentary treatment with "Gettin' Tighter: The Story Of Deep Purple Mark 4," set for release in early 2011. In '75, the revolving door that is/was Purple continued to spin – EXIT: Ritchie Blackmore, who went on to form Rainbow - ENTER: hired gun Tommy Bolin, who had just left The James Gang and signed a solo deal.

DPMK4 featured Bolin, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice; the lineup was intact for just one album, 1975's "Come Taste The Band" - the band broke up following their 6-month tour to support the record amid a haze of drugs, death and despair. At the time, Hughes was dealing with a cocaine issue, while Bolin had a hidden heroin problem; as a result, the tour was a rough affair, and performances were very hit-and-miss. - more including the trailer

I have entered the AA program and am turning over a new leaf. 25 years of gigging and touring has taken its toll and my drinking is now preventing me from being the healthiest, best player that I can be. It's been a fun ride, but I'm ready to tackle this sober and look forward to being at the top of my game with all of my projects! I am happy to say that Kenny Hickey will once again be filling my spot for these 8 shows. Thanks Kenny, I love you bro! Thanks to everyone for their support." - more on this story

Decapitated Plotting Next Album

Decapitated's guitarist Vogg revealed to MetalSucks in a new interview that they are working on a new album. Here is that part of the exchange:

Have you started writing the new album at all? I'm starting to write some riffs. I have some ideas. After this tour, I will start to write new material for real, for serious. There are too many shows and we don't have much time to write any new songs. I think in January we go to the studio and have four months of preproduction for the new material. I have a lot of ideas right now, I just have to take all these ideas together and [turn them into] a new record. It should be ready next year for sure. The new record should be ready in 2011.

You're a band that's evolved its sound as time has gone on… I know that this band will always change. Every album we did was different than the one we did before. We are always looking for something new or something else. We don't want to be a band that wants to play the same all the time. We don't have to. For real artists [laughs], it should be like you're looking for something fresh all the time – to not be boring and not stay in the same place all the time. I expect more changes for the new album and the recording.

Featuring 17 tracks that span over 6 Albums and 3 EPs, over and over is the duo's first US released best-of album.

Absorbing both electronic and rock elements, Tokyo's boom boom satellites created a completely new and unknown sound; a sound that NME stated was "like The Prodigy fighting Underworld with bloody big sticks." This sound not only established them as an exciting new band, but also boosted their profile as one of the most distinguished music producers in Japan. - more on this story

Dismember/Carnage's Fred Estby Releases Guest List for First Necronaut Album

Former Dismember/Carnage drummer Fred Estby has released some details for the forthcoming Necronaut self-titled full-length album including guest stars and tracklisting.

But first some background info on the project: After more than 20 active years within the death metal scene, Estby needed to express his passion for different kinds of extreme music; a passion he's bore since his youth. In 2008, Estby started writing/recording material with the intention of utilizing one unique vocalist for each song. Dubbed Necronaut, the project would become a reality just one year later when the drummer began contacting the many talented metal musicians he had in mind.

Necronaut's self-titled full-length is slated for release later this year via Regain Records. The cover was created by Chet Zar , known for his makeup effects for movies such as The Ring, Planet of the Apes and Darkman . NECRONAUT's approach is crude and dead simple a la early Bathory and Venom fused with Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, but with an unorthodox, bass-heavy production that allows the album to stand out amongst its peers. The goal was primitive brute force, but because of the manner in which Estby chose to achieve it, he also managed to create an aura of pure malevolence that, prior to this album's creation, was likely difficult to imagine. Check out the final track listing and guest list - here

New Jets Overhead Video To Launch This Week

You could see the Olympic Mountains in the distance which were still covered in snow!"
