- After quitting Mötley Crüe last week, Tommy Lee has issued a statement indicating he’s not done with the band just yet: “I am a founding member of Mötley Crüe. I have tried to meet with my bandmates repeatedly without success but have informed them that I’m not walking away from my band of twenty-five years,” the statement reads. “It troubles me that the current legal issues which were filed by the corporations against my personal manager are separating us and causing more dysfunction. I hope we can work this out amongst ourselves.”
- Marilyn Manson has introduced his own brand of absinthe, Mansinthe. A .7 liter bottle is 66.6% alcohol, and runs about $40. Manson was directly involved with the product’s development, offering his opinions on samples until the final blend — which is made in Switzerland and “distilled from fine herbs, naturally colored and not sugared” — was reached.
- Spiked fences: enemy of rock. A Pennsylvania man was impaled on an twelve-foot fence by his thigh while trying to sneak into the Bad Boys of Rock tour, featuring Papa Roach, Hinder and Buckcherry. Though he held a ticket to the show, reports indicate the victim and his friends were trying to avoid the venue’s $5 entrance fee.
- Two people were taken to a local hospital after being critically injured on Friday when a fire broke out at Austin City Limits Festival. The blaze, which was contained after forty minutes, is being attributed to a propane tank attached to a vendor trailer. Though Pete Yorn’s set was briefly disrupted, the festival continued without major problems.
