Mid-Week Updates

• And the Yard of the Month award in Austin goes to King Coffey, drummer for the Butthole Surfers. Haven't heard much from them in a while but I think they are still technically together.
• Unfortunately it looks as if Malcolm Young has officially "retired" from AC/DC. This is obviously due to the illness he is fighting. In this day and age of electronic media it is hard to believe that exactly what he is fighting has been kept under wraps.
• When you listen to an AC/DC record/song just remember one thing - besides the "guitar solo" think about who's exact guitar you are hearing. The Highway to Hell intro is a great example.....
• L.A Guns has apparently booted bassist Scott Griffin from the band. Originally reported as a mutual decision, Scott disagrees.
• With that being said Scott has issued a few comments, among them the statement that he knows he wasn't an "original member" - Are you kidding me? Who really is from a band that spawned Guns N Roses, two different versions of the band itself, future members of Faster Pussycat, and has included members from a plethora of LA based bands.
• John Mellencamp will perform a 'intimate' live show on AXS TV this weekend if you are so inclined to view. I believe he performed the first concert He performed the second concert ever at AAC upon it's opening - I was in attendance of course.
