  • The colossal tour featuring The Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem will thankfully grace cities other than Louisville and St. Paul, as more dates have been added. The first addition: An October 6th show on NYC’s Randall’s Island.
  • According to former member Steven Adler, at least 80% of the original Guns N’ Roses lineup will reconvene at the Key Club in L.A. to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Appetite for Destruction. This makes two more members than first announced. The missing one-fifth, Axl Rose, is on the guest list, but unlikely to show up.
  • Rihanna, fresh off of breaking UK chart records with “Umbrella,” is getting all synergistic by releasing her own line of umbrellas.
  • The Shins’ “Turn On Me” single, out September 3rd, will sport a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Breathe,” as well as their contribution to the TV show Weeds, as B-sides.
  • The Hives are having “Chinese Democracy“-like troubles recording their new album, so expect their next album to be released in or around 2014.

Rainbows?

I think it will be appropriate if the original lineup of GNR reunite without Axl. Axl for the past 15 years hijacked the Guns N Roses name. If only for one night, it would be great that the other band members take back the name of one of the greatest rock band in history.

Hmmmm……the Shins are doing a Pink Floyd cover and contributing a song for the Weeds tv show. Something tells me those guys like to smoke the good stuff and feel fine, if you know what I mean. Ain’t nuthin wrong with that!

What’s the point?
GNR should just shelve it.

Leonardo Peixoto | 7/23/2007, 7:01 pm EST

is gone I wrote that one (so who’s the jerk me or you Okay maybe we’re tied, but you’re quicky pulling ahead. Don’t let me stop you. Please, please continue with your hypocracy. Do you think you can call yourself aspiring journalists if you engage in this type of behavior. Just because you don’t like me doesn’t give your the right to censor me.
