Slash Finally Realizes Weiland Is Velvet Revolver's Weakest Link

Slash promises that Velvet Revolver will record a third album, with or (please please please) without Weiland. "We don't know how or when but the core four guys will continue," he was quoted as saying. It's a heartwarming response to the bitchfits his estranged compatriot has been issuing to the world, as there's no reason The Band Formerly Known As Guns N' Roses should back a grating, obnoxious hack who can't get his pipes around anything on Appetite For Destruction except "It's So Easy," making him more of a rock dodo than a rock dinosaur. But now that The Big Empty might be out of the picture, which grating, obnoxious hack (with more vocal range) should replace him? More »

Latest by wakeupbomb: Come on people, is there a more obvious choice than Justin Hawkins from The Darkness? Seriously, the Darkness broke up (didn't they?) and he's got the pipes to cover Axl's high notes, and rock out on his own. more »

Patrick "The White Akon" Stump Yanked From Roots Album

You didn't want the worst, you didn't get the worst! The Roots have caved to public disgust and removed "Birthday Girl," their collabo with omnipresent Fall Out Boy troubadour Patrick Stump, from their upcoming album Rising Down. "Birthday Girl" is still the album's first international single, but it's been reduced to "iTunes-only" status in America. I don't really see what makes the song so heinous. It might be a little Sublime for hardcore fans of the band, but if it lacks crossover potential, it's due to the Roots' milquetoast albatross Black Thought, not Stump (ladies on YouTube seem to like the track just fine). If the vocal was credited to Cody ChesnuTT, would the Internet have been so put off? [Nah Right / Photo: AP]

Billboard Music Awards Get Put Out To Pasture

Tom Breihan's rundown of the American Music Awards noted that Sunday night's Fergilicious debacle was saved from being the most irrelevant music-awards show of the year by the Billboard Music Awards, the annual rundown of best-selling albums that last year had the dubious distinction of plopping Chad Kroeger, Kid Rock, and ZZ Top on its stage. But as it turns out, Billboard isn't hosting a music-awards show this year, and the official reason isn't the fact that celebrating record sales in 2007 is sort of like celebrating snowstorms in Aruba.

Latest by Chris Molanphy: Also, it's now been enough years after Tim White's untimely but blessed death that they don't have to appease his heirs anymore by continuing this awful idea. Now if only they'd do away with the utterly pointless Century Award (basically more »
