Aerosmith Rift: Joe Perry and Steven Tyler at Odds
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rumors, Rock,
“I mean, after working with me for 40 years, he couldn’t tell me about this?” These were Joe Perry’s words to the Boston Herald.
Perry, Aerosmith’s longtime and legendary guitarist, was discussing frontman Steven Tyler’s possible appointment to the American Idol judging panel.
Joe confronted Steven on Saturday - before the band took the stage at the MGM Grand to perform - but Tyler wouldn’t offer any information, saying he could not discuss it. “Why so secretive? We’re told it’s a done deal. If Steven is committed to a TV show, that kind of affects the rest of us. We’d like to plan our lives, ya know?”
Perry’s complaint is pretty valid, but it seems the Idol gag order can’t be broken.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Rock,
It’s not every day that writers, even highly popular writers, get a personal message from a Knight. But that’s exactly what happened when Sir Paul McCartney surprised Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy with a mixed tape recently. Murphy dished on the details at a recent press conference for the show.
“It just sort of came out of the blue,” he said of the tape, which was accompanied by a personal note. “It said ‘Hi Ryan. I’d hope you’d considered these songs for Glee.”
The two-disc mix is full of tracks, some of which will make a definite appearance on the series. Murphy said of the correspondence, “I was gobsmacked. Of course we’re going to do something.”

VIDEO: Pigeon Poop Halts Kings of Leon Concert
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Videos, Rock,
The next time bird poop lands on your newly washed windshield, remember this: At least it didn’t fall into your mouth.
That disgusting scenario is exactly what happened to Jared Followill, Kings of Leon‘s bassist, on Friday night.
During a concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in St. Louis, MO, the band fell victim to a group of pigeons that had taken up residence in the rafters. The birds, which had made a mess of the stage prior to their act, forced the “Sex on Fire” performers to quit only after several songs.

U2 Announces New Dates, Records Message
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Rock,
I hope you’re still holding on to those unused U2 concert tickets.
Although Bono underwent emergency back surgery in May, the lead singer has been “rebuilt by German engineering” and is - as seen in the video - back on the road to recovery. This means the band will soon be back on the road and performing in stadiums around the world.
The group will first wrap up the European leg of their summer tour (those dates were unaffected) beginning with the August 6th stop in Turin, Italy. The previously scheduled stops in North America will then kick off in May 2011.
For more information on the new dates, you check out information posted on the band’s website here.

VIDEO: Tour Continues Despite Jon Bon Jovi Injury
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Videos, Rock,
It may take a little bad medicine, but an injured Jon Bon Jovi plans to keep entertaining fans across the country.
Friday night in New Jersey, the 48-year-old somehow managed to tear a calf muscle - ouch! - toward the end of a concert in New Meadowlands Stadium. Despite the obvious pain (he can be seen limping on the stage), the professional vowed to stay on stage until the end.

Quote of the Day: Taylor Momsen on Comparisons to Miley Cyrus
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Pop, Rock,
“I’m not looking to be Miley f**king Cyrus. I don’t care about the fame. I do it because I love music. I like making records and if people like them, then we’ll go along for the ride. I’m not dissing Miley personally. However, I do think the Disney bubblegum sh*t that the world is living right now is pathetic. I thought we passed that repression. I don’t know Miley, but musically we’re different. To compare us because of our age is silly. People will be surprised by the record. I mean, it’s a rock record. I get that there is this blonde thing from Gossip Girl and they’re expecting pop sh*t, but it’s a rock band and its heavy. Our record is a life record. It confronts everything head on. It’s death, love, drugs, sex, religion, politics.”
-Gossip Girl‘s Taylor Momsen explaining to FHM UK how her musical career differs from Miley’s.
