Pearl Jams new HQ is a dump. Well almost. Talk about timing.
Who invented the Devil Horns Hand gesture? Not who you think. Is there anything the Beatles didn't do first? Plus you should never believe anything by Gene Simmons.
Billy Corgan Jumps Onstage With Alice in Chains
Thursday night in Los Angeles, a reformed ALICE IN CHAINS were joined by BILLY CORGAN, VELVET REVOLVER bassist DUFF McKAGAN and ex-SCREAMING TREES frontman MARK LANEGAN as they officially kicked off their world tour. Corgan joined the band -- now featuring COMES WITH THE FALL's WILLIAM DUVALL as guest vocalist -- for "Down in a Hole," while Lanegan and McKagan appeared for "Rooster." The band will finish up their North American run through the end of the month, before heading to Europe and Japan. From rolling stone mag.
Having Hit the Beatles, Cirque Du Soleil Does Elvis
Cirque du Soleil, the Canadian acrobatic troupe famous for its elaborate sets and costumes, will soon begin work on a series of shows based upon the life of ELVIS PRESLEY -- and featuring his music. The troupe will also be involved in the design of "Elvis Experience" museums, which will feature interactive, multimedia exhibits on the legendary singer. Touring performances are expected to begin in late 2007, with the first museum set to open in late 2008. Earlier this year, the Cirque du Soleil received the blessing of PAUL McCARTNEY, RINGO STARR, YOKO ONO and GEORGE HARRISON's widow, OLIVIA, to work on the first-ever musical production of BEATLES songs. That show, "Love," will open in a custom-built theater in Las Vegas' Mirage Hotel and Casino. Also from RS.
