| Slash
For a GNR Reunion |
Rockdirt reports: Slash was recently asked
by MTV Brazil about a possible reunion of the original Guns N' Roses lineup.
"It's been 12 years now... 11 years... and it just doesn't seem like one
of those things that any of us are really thinking about doing," the Velvet
Revolver guitarist said. "And I'm not saying never. I would say it would
be a good idea to get, just for a couple of shows, to get the original
STP and the original Guns N' Roses to do a couple of shows for the fun
of it."[see full story for more]- Click

Prince Jazzy Jeff Reunion |
Contact Music reports: Hollywood superstar
WILL SMITH is reuniting with his old hip-hop partner JAZZY JEFF for a world
tour. The pair found fame in the 1980s and 1990s with hit records including
Parents Just Don't Understand and Summertime, and won the first ever Grammy
in the Rap category in 1989. Now Smith has vowed to put his hugely successful
movie career on hold to revisit the project - both in the studio and on
stage. He says, "We always talk about doing a JJFP (Jazzy Jeff and Fresh
Prince) record and a huge tour, we just have to clear the time to do it.
Right now, the plan is we are supposed to go out on tour together at the
end of this year."[see full story for more]- Click

| BRMC
Want Stupid Fans |
Gigwise reports: Speaking to Gigwise, Black
Rebel Motorcycle Club’s Peter Hayes has rubbished the need for education
and reading.
The vocalist/guitarist with the Californian
outfit was reacting to the incident where Noel Gallagher labelled Bloc
Party as “a band off university challenge.”
It seems that BRMC are firmly on Oasis’
side, with Hayes extolling the virtues of being a drop out who quivers
at the sight of a book. He told Gigwise: “Life’s nothing to do with reading,
it has to do with spirit. I couldn’t give a f*** about reading. I don’t
read that much, and I couldn’t much care to read ‘On The Road’ [novel by
Jack Kerouac] I tried, I couldn’t, I’d rather live it, you know what I
mean? [see full story for more]- Click
