1993 – Guns N' Roses announced they would keep the tune written by Charles Manson "Look At Your Game, Girl" on their album, "The Spaghetti Incident?" The decision to keep the song came when the band learned that the royalties would go to the son of one of Manson's victims.

In an interview for a UK radio station this week, Alice Cooper has shared his most embarrassing moments. The first: "My daughter wrote in her high school yearbook that she tried to rebel until she realised her parents were cooler than all her friends." The second: "I gave Tiffany, the female singer in my band, a Rammstein box set as a present. I had no idea of its contents – an assortment of anatomically correct but exaggerated representations of parts of the band." I'm not sure how he missed that fact. Those Rammstein box sets were ALL OVER the news because of the "Extra's" that the band decided to include in the packaging. Either way, I would have loved to have seen that womans face when she opened her phalic gift from the shock rock legend!
