Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

6/20/08, 6:07 pm EST

• Lil Wayne needed only a week for Tha Carter III to get a platinum plaque. It will be a short tenure at the top, however, as Coldplay are on pace to usurp the Number One spot. And we promise no more “A Milli” jokes.

• The employees of Dr. Pepper are scheduled to work overtime this weekend, as news of the Guns n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy leak may force the soda company to make good on their promise to give everyone a free can. But are these tracks for real, or the best demos ever?

• Who didn’t we see in concert this week? We caught shows by Tom Waits, Sigur Ros, George Michael and Tom Petty and lived to write about it.

• We somehow made it back from Bonnaroo alive with video of My Morning Jacket, Pearl Jam and Jimi Hendrix’s guitar pedals. We also discussed Kanye’s tardiness and hung backstage with Metallica and M.I.A.

I am old school, but appreciate music in all its shape and form. Unlike my parents, a lot of the music my son like, I like. Unfortunately, he loves Lil Wayne. I hope he is really not only listening, but hearing the words that are coming out of his mouth.

I love music. All genre. When it comes to Lil Wayne. I am a reluctant fan. He raps about things that make a Parent cringe. But listen, he is living in real time. He is very talented in a very tortured way.
You must listen to his song called “I Feel Like Dying” the practice of our young stars and youth are dying or spirally out of control. take a listen . You will be both surprised and sadden.

“Bumblefoot and Buckethead” Best Reality Show Ever

Once Steven Adler gets out of celeb rehab, we all know what’s coming…..Stone Temple Pilots could not even think of turning down the money they were offering for a reunion; can you imagine what they will give GNR? A small country? Either way, I am all over Chinese Democracy based on what I have heard so far. Axl still knows how to bring it, regardless of his myriad of issues.

How exactly does this leak qualify as the album being released, and therefore, free Dr Pepper? Bumblefoot (GNR guitarist) confirmed that they’re older demos and the final album will almost surely have more/different tracks.
