Student Shoots Himself After Teacher Refused To Praise Marilyn Manson

A Sad Sad Day in rock history, although I prefer not to spoil the genre since I wouldn't necessarily consider the garbage Marilyn Manson is as "rock". An eighth-grade student at Larose-Cut Middle School in Louisiana shot himself in the head last Monday after his teacher supposedly refused to praise the musican known as Marylin Manson. The students survived the blow to the head, although he remains in critical condition at the hospital. The fifteen-year-old boy named Justin Doucet had reportedly barged into Jessica Plaisance's seventh-grade English class and demanded that everyone get on the ground. He then told the teacher to say "Hail Marilyn Manson." Doucet fired the gun at the woman twice. The first time it didn’t go off and the second time the bullet flew above her head and left a hole in the wall behind her. Following the shooting, the school was put on lockdown where the students were searched for weapons and then picked up early by their parents. The school continues to remain with added security.

Today in rock history... Motley Crue celebrates the 20th anniversary of the album "Dr. Feelgood", which got their careers running as one of the greatest rock icons. They plan to kick start the celebrations by playing the 1989 album in Crue Fest 2, but it's a good thing that the party doesn't start until July 19, because the band members claim they hadn't listened to most of the tracks in the album for a long time. "I'll probably listen to it on the way into rehearsals next month. We're going to brush off the cobwebs then," said Nikki Sixx in an interview with Rollingstone magazine. Here's a link to refresh your memory and listen to one of the greatest rock albums ever released:

Coldplay to be Sued by Multiple Artists

It's no joke that Coldplay's latest hit single, "Viva La Vida" stole elements of songs by two artists. Among the victims is Joe Satriani, which will most likely take legal action sooner. The other is Cat Stevens, who alleges that illegally stole some sound elements from his old track "Foreigner Suite"after noticing some striking similarities between the two. But that's the least of Yusuf Islam(Cat)'s problems right now. He already had to postpone a show in New York and schedule it a week late because of a "Work Permit" problem which has now been solved. For HUGE Cat Stevens fans out there like me, Stevens is scheduled to play a show in Los Angeles, CA next week and appear on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on May 13.
Do you think Coldplay Should be sued for incorporating elements of music which have already been recorded into a copyrighted song?

As amazing as they get, something about this band has been bothering me recently. As soon as they announced that they weren't going to play many of their old hits, I was kind of disillusioned. I mean, sure it's hard to top their past incredible hit singles like "Dream On", Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way", but that isn't the main problem. The real question is that if they're not going to play any of their past material, what is there left for them to play? Seriously, are there any sensational new songs by Aerosmith? Do you think Aersomith is more of a tribute band today or a band to be taken seriously for their new material at this point in its lifetime? I want to hear your comments.

New Bob Dylan Album is OUT NOW!!!

Legendary folk singer Bob Dylan's new album dubbed "Together Through Life" has officially been released. If you're a die hard Dylan fan, I suggest you stop torturing yourself and get your very own copy of the album as it's the first in a while. I can't promise it'll be great as the album just came out today and I can't give you my own expertise opinion because I still haven't gotten the chance to hear any of the tracks ;-) sigh!
What I can give you is a short summary of Rolling Stone magazine's very own exclusive preview, so here it is-
The Album mainly focuses on struggling-love songs. Dylan somehow decided to put an accordion on every track and the songs are described by critics as having “the live-in-the-studio feel of Dylan’s last two studio records, 2001’s "Love and Theft" and 2006’s "Modern Times".
If you want to get a LEGAL auditory preview of his new stuff, here's a link. Still, I feel handicapped not having any real access to his new songs, and not being able to discuss them. I guess I'll just have to settle like a rolling stone for now :-(
