We ventured back into the jungle as Axl Rose and Guns n' Roses made their triumphant return to North America. The Chinese Democracy tour kicked off its Canadian leg with a show in Winnipeg: check out our review and photos.
Big news on the Idol front as Simon Cowell revealed he'll leave the show to judge The X Factor and avoid overexposure. We live-blogged American Idol's Boston auditions and marveled at the viral sensation "Pants on the Ground."
The music world lost two totally unique artists when R&B legend Teddy Pendergrass died following a battle with colon cancer and up-and-coming Memphis garage rocker Jay Reatard passed away at the age of 29.
With two late-night talk show hosts battling it out, we looked back at Rolling Stone's interview with Jay Leno as he discussed handing the Tonight Show torch to Conan O'Brien. Plus, Fallon's ?uestlove backed Team CoCo and we flashbacked to a prescient Late Night performance.
