Around The Way News

Hey Teens,

If you haven't heard, Lily Allen was given her own TV show on the BBC. It was recently reported that fans walked out during the taping of the show due to boredom. And people in the UK watch soccer!

Slash has designed/developed a new line of guitars which should be available in April. The idea for Slash to create his own guitars was based on the success of Slash creating his own band - Slash's Snakepit

Exactly. Has Slash run out of money or seomthing? Wasn't he pimping Guitar Hero before this?

Natalie Cole has said that giving Grammys to Amy Winehouse is rewarding bad behavior. Good point Natalie! It's weird becuase the Grammys never make mistakes....

Around the way news

Gnarls Barkley's second album is almost done. Will they be susceptible to the sophomore slump? I doubt it. But can they have another hit as big as "Crazy"?. I doubt it.

Danger Mouse (the white guy in Gnarls Barkley) has kept busy by producing The Black Keys upcoming album, Attack and Release. (Listen to The Black Keys!).

In other news, Slash has said Scott Weiland will be playing with STP this summer in some reunion shows after the Velvet Revolver tour. No other details are known.

If you don't know, now you know

That Guitar Hero Guy

It hurts to think that the next generation is going to know Slash as "The Guy You Can Unlock in Guitar Hero." One of the greatest guitarists of all-time has been garnering so much publicity and given so many interviews about Guitar Hero, you'd think he invented the game. Next thing you know, you're going to be browsing the isles of your local Costco only to find Slash Shampoo and Slash Cereal. Let's hope he doesn't turn into the next Gene Simmons.

Anyway, I was happy to read that Slash told Billboard about Velvet Revolver's plans to start work on their new album in April. Slash's exact words were "I'm really jazzed about doing it." Oh really Slash, you're JAZZED? The former badass, chain-smoking, Jack-drinking Mofo is now just a guy who gets "jazzed." Age has really caught up with you, my man. I remember when you would spend weeks in a comatose state and still be able to crank it up night after night. Now you get more excited about buying new drapes, or spending a nice little Saturday at the Home Depot than you do making music. You're one of the last true rock stars we have left, Slash. Now go throw a T.V. out a hotel window and abuse a stripper.

Thank God we still have Scott Weiland around to keep things Rock N Roll,
Josh
