Regional Touring Artist Calls Puddle Of Mudd Singer A “Child”

It boiled my blood, but I waited until I could see all I could handle until I made a judgement on a mans character. I saw it with my own eyes 4 nights in a row, first carried to the stage, then cutting an already short set to merely useless jam sessions, finally walking off stage and pointing blame at others for his own unprofessionalism. Puddle of Mudds front man Wes is a child. A poster boy for the reason why rock has hit a decline. Opening their set with 25 minutes worth of a two note strum yelling to the crowd to eat a bag of dicks followed by READ MORE

Robert Plant Rips Up $800 Million Led Zeppelin Reunion Contract

Robert Plant didn’t have a whole lotta love for this deal. He and the other living founding members of legendary hard-rock band Led Zeppelin were about to ink an $800 million contract with Virgin Atlantic billionaire Richard Branson to play a reunion tour, but the iconic band’s singer ripped the contract to shreds in the final moments, a report said. Founding members Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones signed on immediately when the flamboyant investor offered the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers the staggering amount to perform just 35 tour dates in three locations including London, Berlin and New Jersey, according to the UK’s Mirror. But Branson was left stunned when the 66-year-old Plant tore the agreement to pieces right in front of the concert promoters, the newspaper said. “There was an enormous sense of shock,” a source told the Mirror. “He said no and ripped up the paperwork he had been given.” READ MORE

Jackyl Frontman, And Owner Of Jesse James Bourbon, Fights Whiskey Labeling Law

Music fans know him as the frontman of Jackyl, TV viewers know him as the star of Full Throttle Saloon, and whiskey drinkers know he’s the proud owner of Jesse James Bourbon. Last week, though, Jesse James Dupree wore yet another hat when he appeared before Tennessee state senators at a committee hearing, urging them to repeal the Tennessee Whiskey Labeling Law.

They’ve purchased a large plot of land in Trimble, Tennessee, and intend to move Jesse James Bourbon’s distillery there — creating many jobs and boosting the local economy — and to brand it “Tennessee whiskey.” Late last year, though, the Jack Daniels company pushed the Tennessee state legislature to enact the Tennessee Whiskey Labeling Law, which states that in order for a spirit to be called “Tennessee whiskey,” it has to be made using certain methods — not coincidentally, exactly the methods through which Jack Daniels is made — and no other. At the hearing, Dupree and Ballard protested the law, which they imply shows favoritism to Jack Daniels and READ MORE
