Thursday Updates

• It looks like AC/DC is about to lose another member. Phil Rudd has been arrested and charged with "attempting to procure murder" which basically means hiring a hit man to take, in this case, two unidentified men out. I swear he was involved in another minor incident recently but I could be thinking of someone else. He has also been charged with drug possession.
• In addition he had recently missed some AC/DC assignments, including a publicity shot. Phil has been the main drummer for AC/DC since their heyday but did leave the band for 11 years before returning.
• Chris Slade is available - the only reason he left was because of Rudd's return. According to Wikipedia he currently has a couple of projects going but nothing major. It does cite one of them as an "AC/DC tribute band" - is it really a tribute band if you were actually in the band?
• This kind of technically only leaves Angus as an "original" member......
• Wayne Static's death has been reported to be non drug related. It was stated he had been drug free since the forming of Static-X - he passed three days before his 49th birthday.
• Anyways tonight is King Diamond - this will be a first for me. It the next to last date before he hits Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin this weekend.
