Matt Sorum, Guns And Roses' drummer is going to make his acting debut in the movie called 'Bitter end'. The plot is about three guys in love with the same woman. I'm looking forward to this! And while we're at G'N'R: Have you wandered what are 'Don't Cry' and 'November Rain' all about? You know, three Axls, his wife dying, Slash driving off a cliff and everything else? Well, be patient and you will find out! The clips are in fact parts of a movie Guners are doing based on a story Axl made up. Now, I bet that you're really getting impatient!

Yello are currently working on the next album named 'Trouble' as well as on different movie soundtracks. A collection of their greatest hits is just released, called 'Essential Yello'. Kurt Cobaine of Nirvana denied aligations stated in 'Vanity Fair' magazine that his wife, Courtnie Love, took heavy drugs during preagnancy. He is now a proud father of Francis Cobaine. He admitted that he used heroin, but only as a habit, not as an addiction. He also said that drugs are a waste of time, and that the greatest drug he knows is holding his baby. More Nirvana news: at the MTV VMA they buried the war hatchet with Pearl Jam (Kurt slagged them off in the press),but instead started another war, this time with no other than Guns And Roses. Axl W. Rose to be exact. Courtnie and Axl excanged some words backstage, and Axl came up to Kurt and said: 'I'm gonna put you down, if you don't get your woman in order!' and threatened him that he will beat him up. Kurt only laughed. As he told later to MTV: 'I didn't get such threats since sixth grade, so I had to laugh...' and Chris Novoselic summed it all up: 'Why have Pearl Jam as enemies when you can have Guns And Roses!'. During the performance he got hit by his bass guitar, but without any injuries. They planned to play two new songs that fitted into the 4:20s period they had allocated, but the managers of the show told them 'Lithium or nothing!' Idiots! Originally they wanted them to play 'Smells like...' but they refused. Anyway, they played 'Lithium', but they also played a few seconds of the new song probably called 'Rape me' or 'Break me'. That song will be on the new LP that they're just recording. Wow! Enough of Nirvana. Some Beastie Boys news: They are going to release an album by their DJ Hurricane on their label. Besides that, MCA said the he wants to paint Big Ben green (same as his hair color) while listening to Punk music. He is into modern art nowadays. Mike D is working as a teacher for Grunge Rock dancing. He is on tour with L7 (a female grunge rock band). A complete collection of Bob Marley works is out! It's called 'Songs of freedom'. A new single is out, never before released, called 'Iron lion Zion'. That song was discovered my an accident when the producer left the tape recorder running after what he thought was the last song, and there it was. BTW: It's a great song indeed! Only 1 000 000 copies of this special box set containing 87 songs od 4 CD's will be released so hurry out and buy one (and then contact me so I can aquire a copy). It is known that there are still more unreleased songs by Bob Marley, but as Cedella Marley (his daughter) said: 'We'll wait till you get hungry for more and then release them'. She said that have stuff to last for 30 years more!!! I'm getting hungry... Inspiral Carpets are back! They just released a new album called 'Revenge of the goldfish'. The first single taken from that album is called 'Generations'. Sex Pistol's song 'Anarchy in the UK' had just been re-released as a single from their greatest hits album, also out now. Roumors are that Sex Pistols could reform and go on tour soon! We'll keep you posted. About all of you asking 'What about Sid?': it is said that they will reform in the ORIGINAL line-up... Looks like Bryan Adams is going in Michael Jackson's footsteps: He has just released the fifth single of his 'Waking up the neighbors' album and it is called 'Do I have to say the words'. The video for the song is one of the stupidest I have ever seen... The most hideous creature on the music scene is back. Boy George has released a new single called 'Crying game' as a soundtrack for the movie of the same title. (How would I like to play the crying game with him using a baseball bat!!!) The single is produced by Pet Shop Boys. Faggy George is also writing an autobiography book, in which as he says he will reveal a lot of intimate personal details. Yuck!!!! I really can't see who will buy that monstrosity...
