Metallica Deny Lawsuit Rumor, UGK Top Billboard Chart, Radiohead Push New LP to 2008

  • Contrary to reports they were returning to their lawsuit-happy, Napster-killing ways, Metallica are not suing the video games “Guitar Hero 3” and “Rock Band” for featuring their …And Justice For All song “One.” A spokesperson for the band tells us that the band has licensed the song to the game makers and look forward to it appearing in both titles.
  • Houston rap duo UGK’s Underground Kingz debuted atop the Billboard charts, as their first album since 2001 sold 160,000 copies. On the strength of the single “Shawnty,” Plies’ Real Testament entered the chart at number two. On the indie front, Okkervil River made their Billboard 200 debut at number 62 with The Stage Names.
  • Radiohead will not be putting out a new album this year; the band’s PR firm says signing to a new label and properly promoting the album will push the release date to 2008.
  • Michael Jackson is being sued to the tune of $113,000 for not paying one of the law firms that helped him out when he battled child-molestation allegations.
  • With the money they’re saving after canceling John From Cincinnati, HBO will release a soundtrack for their meandering comedy series Entourage. Cold War Kids, Gnarls Barkley and series star Saigon are among the artists on the tracklist, which mysteriously snubs the show’s theme song, Jane’s Addiction’s “Superhero.”

Speaking of Unplugged, of course Nirvana’s performance was awesome…so was Alice In Chains Unplugged as well as PJ’s. All of those bands showed their diversity in that way. Great stuff which I still listen to. I also mentioned that I saw Chris Cornell recently in concert - what a powerful voice, and much better-sounding in a smaller venue than an arena concert.

Thanks, Bukowski - women appreciate being respected. Things got a little rough earlier for me in the Sheryl blog…I felt like that guy was trying to run me over with a truck. However, I see that RS was decent enough to take down most of the really nasty comments. Regarding Nirvana, as I mentioned before, I have been a fan since they got their first big break on TV. I remember seeing and hearing them for the first time on MTV (15 years ago? I’m losing track of time!). But regretfully, I never did see them in concert.
Later -
~peace~

As I said before, I liked Nirvana before Unplugged, but was completely blown away by that performance. I think it just allowed me to hear a lot of melodies that I was not able hear before, and I got to hear how great Kurt’s wonderfully wounded voice sounded. . . As far as going to war with you, I thought you were of a different sex. That is a big deal to me. When a guy starts a fight with me, I don’t back down; I have to win. I treat women differently because I have far more respect for them than men, okay? Okay.

Hey Bukowski,
I was looking up some research about the real Bukowski (the writer), and he passed away less than 1 month before Kurt Cobain passed away (in 1994). It seems like a somewhat eery coincidence, considering that both of them wrote about “angst”, albeit Bukowski’s writings were much more severe. Are you also a big Nirvana fan?

candy-o | 8/21/2007, 3:52 pm EST

In other words, “creative”, Bukowski.
Creative types are often unfairly misunderstood because they often draw (or channel perhaps?) from an unknown source (some call it spirituality)…an advanced intuition and awareness not obvious on the surface. If you’re a Foo Fighters & Led Zep fan, check out one of the articles written about Jimmy Page by Dave Grohl - I think it’s posted somewhere here on the RS site. My point is that when I work on designs, it just comes intuitively. The same goes for musicians and writers.

Someone once said: genius and insanity live on opposite sides of the same street. I have no clue as to whether I am a genius or not, but I am maxing out my available gray matter these days. I am just thankful that God is merciful to people like me: the semi-mentally ill. For my part in last night’s “Communication Breakdown” I apologize, for whatever it’s worth. Hope all is well, H.C. Bukowski Jr.

Thanks, Bukowski…that cota guy reminds me of somebody I know who just doesn’t “get it”. Chalk it up to my artistic temperament which only few can understand.

Oh, I was actually talking about the spelling of Jesus Crist, but, yeah, you boffed the spelling of chinese demicracy, too. Don’t get all mad; I’m just playing, okay?

We’re hiding outside behind tree. . .we spot “C” coming out of his house. . .we jump out from behind tree, yell: YOU’RE A DORK! Ha, ha, DORK. What’s the matter dork, you forgot how to talk? Hey that rhymes: Dork forgot how to talk, Dork forgot how to talk. . .(Just fuckin’ with ya man, enjoy your game! Rock On, Dude.)

Perhaps sweetness follows a spell check? Just trying to get a handle on when the sweetness will be arriving.

Guitar Hero is a blast. I didnt get into it until a couple of weeks ago. I thought that it was stupid and that anyone that played it was a total dork but once I actually tried I was hooked.

Metallica's Still Around? | 8/16/2007, 5:16 am EST

Sad, but true.

who cares | 8/15/2007, 10:02 pm EST

who cares metallica is old

emily, you stole my name. thieves!

Evan | 8/15/2007, 7:39 pm EST

Guitar Hero teaches you how to be a guitar hero. I AM A HERO!!!!!!!!

emily | 8/15/2007, 7:34 pm EST

Why is guitar hero so popluar it does not even teach you how to play a guitar.

Neil | 8/15/2007, 7:18 pm EST

Sadly, music is still a business, and apparently the album is recorded but working out all the other details takes time. It’ll probably be leaked a few months before its release (with the band’s blessing) so we can all look forward to that.

entourage sucks now | 8/15/2007, 7:01 pm EST

meandering is a perfect word for it, finally RS says something KIND OF relevant, and yes… internet spew is relevant… hah

Anonymous | 8/15/2007, 5:48 pm EST

yeah…i’m also fine with waiting for the Radiohead LP7. I mean, thom yorke’s solo album only came out a year ago plus they don’t even have a label. Kind of obsurd for people to critisise them if they don’t even have a lable to promote them.

metallica says... | 8/15/2007, 5:41 pm EST

“Baaaah!”

T. Huff | 8/15/2007, 5:03 pm EST

Funny how the news of the new Mellencamp album doesn’t get posted here. What a joke RS is.

David Lee Roth | 8/15/2007, 4:59 pm EST

C’mon you losers! Diamond Dave here telling you all that Van Halen will be touring this fall at a venue near you! That’s right. Go ahead and Jump! Jump! Yeah, man I’m creaming in my pants right now cause I’m so excited. Yeaahhh! Plus I’m gonna be getting a big paycheck motherfuckers! Yeeeoooow!

Liquid Feces | 8/15/2007, 4:55 pm EST

Hey david, go jerk off to Zac Efron and the rest of High School Musical. Radiohead’s not jerking anyone around. Who cares if it’s ponderous or heady art-rock, as long as it sounds good and a lot of effort was put into it, it’s okay by me to wait a little longer for the release.

Farter | 8/15/2007, 4:50 pm EST

Radiohead lost their edge years ago. This next album will be shitty. Just like my farts.

Anonymous | 8/15/2007, 4:50 pm EST

john from cinci was a great show! hbo looks like the new fox… first cancelling lucky louie and now this.

AP | 8/15/2007, 4:48 pm EST

Go listen to your Nickleback cd, David, and quit criticizing Radiohead. Radiohead’s great. As long as the album rocks, I can wait for it in ‘08.

Jim | 8/15/2007, 4:40 pm EST

The Entourage soundtrack’s been out already…c’mon RS, try to keep up

David | 8/15/2007, 4:40 pm EST

Who cares? Radiohead’s been jerking everyone’s chain for the last 10 years. They just want to put out ponderous crap mascarading as heady art-rock. And if you don’t like it then you, apparently, just don’t get it. At least that’s what they’d have you believe.

sweetnessfollows | 8/15/2007, 3:40 pm EST

jesus crist, not even radioheads good enough to keep pushing this back. its turning into chinese demlcracy.
