- So Winger blames Beavis and Butthead/Mike Judge for ruining their career and has "forgave" them. If you wouldn't have put out that bubble gum pop metal crap in the first place it wouldn't have happened - and your timing was terrible.
- One day Robert Plant is going to refuse to answer any questions about Led Zeppelin. Link
- Iron Maiden's Trooper beer has sold five million pints - very hard to find around her but I got a hold of five of those.
- 40 years ago this week Led Zeppelin launched Swan Song records. Obviously all of their work from Physical Graffiti on was released on this label. Several other artists, including Bad Company and Dave Edmunds, were signed as well. Eventually after the death of Bonham and the release of Robert and Jimmy's first solo efforts the label folded.
- That 5 million dollar Wu-Tang album is apparently in a vault in Morocco. Is this all a joke?
- Queensryche has released their statement regarding the settlement with Geoff Tate -
"The band will buy out their former lead singer's share
of the Queensrÿche corporation while allowing him the ability to be the only
one to perform Operation: Mindcrime and Operation: Mindcrime II in their
entirety. He will no longer have use of the TriRyche logo or any other album
images aside from the Mindcrime releases. He can only refer to himself as the
"Original Lead Singer of Queensrÿche or "Formerly of
Queensrÿche" for a period of two years and that text must be at least 50%
smaller than his name in all materials. After this two year period passes, he
can only refer to himself as Geoff Tate with no mention of Queensrÿche at all.
Geoff Tate will be able to finish any confirmed dates billed for his Queensrÿche
lineup scheduled to terminate on August 31st, 2014.
"As of September 1st, there will be only one
Queensrÿche entity and that will consist of Eddie Jackson, Todd LaTorre, Parker
Lundgren, Scott Rockenfield and Michael Wilton. This lineup will continue to
perform selections from their entire musical catalog including songs from
Operation: Mindcrime. The band will be able to use all TriRyche logos and
previous album artwork for any purposes as needed by the corporation."
