Babyshambles frontman had to be revived by medics at a party, just before a scheduled solo performance at a porn cinema in Austria, where they were premiering his new “tell-all” auto-biopic.

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher Inspired Metallica’s Lars Ulrich to Quit Drugs

Posted in British rock, Heavy Metal with tags , , , , , , , , , , on August 31, 2008 by Patrick Prince

So sayeth the Metallica drummer:

“I was very impressed with Noel Gallagher. As you know I’m an Oasis fanatic and Noel was like, ‘You know what? No more cocaine!’ and I thought, ‘If he can do it, everybody else can do it’. I had my fun with it, it was always more of a social thing. We were never like rolling around and spending days in bathroom stalls and peeking out the keyholes of doors for days.”

I’m more surprised about Lars being a huge Oasis fan.

Alice Cooper Says Wino and Doherty Live Life Too Hard

Posted in Rock Music with tags , , , , , , , , , on July 26, 2008 by Patrick Prince

Alice Cooper has seen his share of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But even he admits that Amy Winehouse and Babyshambles leader Pete Doherty are pushing it beyond the limit of excess.

Alice Cooper tells The Sun:

“You’re indestructible in your twenties. Except I wasn’t playing around with things as destructive as they are.”

Those two do make Motley Crue look like little choir boys.

The Sun Does its Own Amy Winehouse Model

Posted in British music with tags , , , , , , , , on July 24, 2008 by Patrick Prince

British newspaper, The Sun, cam up with a Wino model to compliment Madame Tussauds recent waxwork. It does look more like the real thing. As The Sun puts it:

Tussauds should amend their figure – to warn visitors of the dangers of drugs.

How very true.

Disney Kicks Barenaked Ladies to the Curb

Posted in Rock Music with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on July 21, 2008 by Patrick Prince

Don’t mess with Disney. Disney can come down on you like a fire-and-brimstone preacher looking to cast out souls when you get on their bad side. They know what the pulse of America’s white picket fences likes and dislikes; and what it certainly dislikes is entertainers with recent drug arrests. So when the lead singer of Barenaked Ladies, Steven Page (mug shot above), was arrested on cocaine possession in Syracuse, NY this month, the band removed itself (the most appropriate term I can think of — it’s like a corporate executive stating they “resigned”) from the Disney Music Block Party tour.

The Disney tour, which consists of other user-friendly bands like They Might Be Giants, was geared towards families and their children. As if any of the children attending read the police blotters of Syracuse and ask “Mommy, what’s cocaine possession?” (and, as if, they even know who Steven Page is), the band was quickly considered persona non grata. Even as an objective observer, it makes you want to jump out of a Norman Rockwell painting and puke. I’m no fan of Barenaked Ladies (Hell! Their name is too suggestive as it is!) but the band got a bad break. After all, even Steven Page is innocent until proven guilty, right? Well… obviously not in the Wonderful World of Disney.

Steven Adler Arrested and Released on Bail

Posted in 80s Metal, 80s Rock, Heavy Metal, Rock Music with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 19, 2008 by Patrick Prince

All in a night’s work.

Guns N’ Roses ex-drummer Steven Adler was arrested this morning at 4am in Los Angeles for being under the influence, possession of narcotics, and creating a disturbance at someone’s home. Oh yeah, and an outstanding warrant. Then he made bail.

blabbermouth was good enough to point out to the general media that the old warrant was “a 2005 case where Adler was charged for being under the influence of a controlled substance and driving on a suspended license.”

With Wino and DohBoy and Woody and all the others, this shit is getting really played out. And Adler was just talking about being a month sober to Eddie Trunk at Rocklahoma (view below). Poor guy doesn’t appear sober even when sober.

Ah, rock n roll, what a life, eh?

Maybe Steven will be rewarded with a Microsoft emoticon for this.

Amy Winehouse Photographed With Cocaine in Her Nose?

Oh, c’mon. It’s a little white snot. That’s all.

Amy Winehouse’s Hubby Caught Smoking H in Prison

Posted in British music with tags , , , , , on July 7, 2008 by Patrick Prince

And caught with the camera (above).

In the meantime, the landlord that BFC attacked had this to say about Wino and her hubby:

“I hope both Blake and Amy rot. The first time I met him was when his boot was smashing into my face. Since then I’ve been to hell and back because he’s stupid enough to think he could buy his freedom through his marriage to her and her millions.”

Hardcore. White Trash. Lowlife. You name it. Blake Fielder-Civil. My man. You get the piece of shit award.

And while her husband is smoking it up in prison, Wino’s punching more of her fans.

It would be hard to even make this shit up.

Amy Winehouse Says She Had “Nothing To Live For”

Posted in British music with tags , , , , , , , , on June 28, 2008 by Patrick Prince

Wino spills her inner troubles to Rolling Stone:

“To be honest, my husband’s away, I’m bored, I’m young. I felt like there was nothing to live for. It’s just been a low ebb. I’ve never been to rehab, I mean, done it properly. I’m young, and I’m in love, and I get my nuts off sometimes. But it’s never been like, ‘Amy, get your life together’,”

…get my nuts off sometimes”? WTF? She’s got lung problems from smoking too much crack!

And I gotta say, Blake Fielder-Civil sounds like a thug to me. If you read how he harassed this pub owner… not someone I’d love to hang with.

As Keith Haring put it, Crack is Wack.

Nikki Sixx Says Crue Were Lucky Not To Get Fatal Diseases

Posted in Heavy Metal with tags , , , , , , , on June 25, 2008 by Patrick Prince

Sixx tells the NY Daily News:

“Look, as 20-year-olds we’d sleep with anything that moved. Now we’re older and we don’t know how we came out of that life without fatal diseases.”

That much is true.

He also tells the News about the in-fighting on tour:

“I’ll never forget this time Vince and Tommy and I were in a hotel hallway and they got into a fistfight. I was watching them go at it, and some guy jumps into the middle of the fight to stop it. The three of us immediately jumped this guy, threw him up against the wall and Vince told him, ‘Don’t ever mess with our band.’ After that Tommy and Vince finished their fight, and we all went to the bar and picked up some girls. That’s the kind of tension that us gives us an edge on stage. When we fight, the shows are like make-up sex.”

Hard-core.

Let’s hope (for their sake) there is no more in-fighting. Watching 40+ year old men fight each other is really broken-down.
