Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler says he plans to unveil his most “outrageous stories” in his forthcoming autobiography. The book is set to contain, “all the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex and drugs, transcendence and chemical dependence you will ever want to hear.” (gigwise.com)

Chris and Rich Robinson’s are going to sue Gretchen Wilson for copyright infringement for their original composition of their hit song “Jealous Again” for her song entitled “Work Hard Play Harder”. TNT has further exploited the use of the composition by using Wilson’s song in video advertisement and promotion for the show “Saving Grace”.

According to a Stone Temple Pilot concert review the lengthy set opened with ‘Big Empty’ from ‘The Crow’ soundtrack. Dressed in a grey suit Weiland stumbled around the stage and fell into drummer Eric Kretz’s drum kit. This means Scott has taken back the crown of “douche bag” from Amy Winehouse.

On his current tour Alice Cooper took a nasty fall. He continued on with a few more songs before leaving the stage (listening to his advisers). It turns out he learned he had broken a rib and suffered ligament damage.

I’m embarrassed to admit but this month on my emusic account I downloaded some unplugged versions of Winger songs done by Kip Winger (the guy not the band). IT gives the tunes a totally different flavor, and I kept coming back to listen over and over.  It keeps growing on me.
