L.A. Guns Is Now Led By A Radiohead Fan


Not sure why Maura thought Jani Lane would leave the recently reunited Warrant after two warm-up gigs to lead a less successful band he had nothing to do with, but I'm happy to say that the new singer of Tracii Guns' L.A. Guns (as opposed to the other L.A. Guns) is not the once and future Down Boy. The new singer for L.A. Guns is Marty Casey, who was formerly a Radiohead-crazy hopeful on Rock Star: INXS. Rock on, reality show contestant! [Blabbermouth]

A Psychic's 732-Page Proof That She Can Mediate Conversations With Jim Morrison And Michael Hutchence

Medium Jacqueline Murray claims that she's the "channel" for the beyond-the-grave musings of the Doors' Jim Morrison and INXS' Michael Hutchence—clearly, her aura is attractive to lead singers with nice cheekbones—and she's discovered so many interesting things about them that she's decided to put them all down on paper. And someone decided that all 732 pages of those findings were worth publishing, which is why the two-volume set A Tale Of Two Brothers: Jim Morrison And Michael Hutchence is available for you to purchase now. The books claim to not only reveal how each frontman really died and the coverups involved, they promise shit-talking about the remaining members of INXS, postmortem gossip from Morrison paramour Pamela Courson and Hutchence babymama Paula Yates, and lots of cameos from other psychics who have Web sites. Break on through the jump to see the full press release! More »

It's been 10 years since INXS singer/Idolator's hottest hottie (even in death!) Michael Hutchence's randiness led to an untimely asphyxiation, but now his former band members have launched a memorial site with written tributes plus "classic photos of Hutchence and video tributes from Kirk Pengilly and Tim Farriss." Wonder what the bigger draw will be. [Gigwise]

"Lost" Gets The Subterranean Homesick Blues (And Yes, There's A Spoiler Warning)

After last night's episode of Lost, it looks as though Bob Dylan, Michael Hutchence and J.J. Abrams all have something in common—aside from letting their fans down, that is. Proof after the spoiler-avoiding click-through: More »

Memo To The Newest 'Rock Star': Don't Forget That Recipe For Wings Just Yet

The Michael Hutchence-free, Rock Star-assisted version of INXS has been dropped by Epic, its US label, just days after its successor, the supergroup formerly known as Supernova, tabbed former Hooters cook Lukas Rossi to be its new frontman. Nu-INXS, which is now led by season 1 Rock Star winner JD Fortune, is still signed in Australia, and its album is nearing the double-platinum mark there. (In Australia, though, a platinum record is one that's moved 70,000 copies — or about 930,000 fewer copies than are required to reach platinum certification in the US.) More »
