Fire Dept Disrupt Chickenfoot Show
Nightwatcher reports: Rollingstone.com is reporting that the launch of new rock supergroup Chickenfoot's short spring tour at Seattle's El Corazon last night (May 14th) pleased the rowdy crowd despite a number of logistical issues.

Nine songs into the band's main set, a visit from the local fire department to the crowded club prompted a halt on movement from the venue's bar to its stage room.

Chickenfoot were nine songs and 40 minutes into their set and presumably ready to continue when the group's singer, Sammy Hagar, told the audience, "The fire department's going to shut us down in 10 minutes … This is the end of the regular set." He also promised a 45-minute encore to make up for the delay. - more on this story

If It's Too Loud, It Must Be AC/DC!
Metal Underground reports: A concert by heavy rockers AC/DC in Munich on Friday drew over 100 noise complaints by irate neighbors, police reported Sunday.

Complaints came from as far as Unterhaching, a suburb almost 20 kilometers (12 miles) away from the stadium. Police said the neighbours complained about "overly-loud music" that violated local noise ordinances.

The noise did not drive off Economy Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, who showed up at the concert with his wife, Stephanie, according to the daily Bild. The 37-year-old minister has admitted his love of heavy metal before and said that he's been a fan of the Australian rockers since he was a teenager. Bild quoted Stephanie zu Guttenberg as saying that she had never been to an AC/DC show before, but was going because her husband was so excited to see the band. - more on this story
