94XPOSED TUESDAY OCTOBER 18TH
1989 – Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose announced during a Los Angeles performance that he was quitting the band. He did not quit, and is the lone remaining member from that lineup.
GUNS AND ROSES - WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Much like they did two years ago with Rage Against the Machine’s ‘Killing in the Name’, a British movement is urging people to buy Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and push it to #1 on the charts this Christmas before one of Simon Cowell’s ‘X-Factor’ artists take the coveted spot. Citizens of the UK are acting in order to prevent Simon Cowell’s reality singing competition from dominating the charts this Christmas by starting a campaign encouraging people to buy Nirvana’s well known single instead. In 2009, the gesture was more of a rebellious movement by those sick of Simon Cowell’s dominance of the Christmas Number One. Fans downloaded Rage Against the Machine’s ‘Killing in the Name’ over 500,000 times and prevented one of Cowell’s artist from taking the spot for what would’ve been the fifth consecutive year. -------------------------BREAK------------------------- It appears Courtney Love and Hole have pulled out of Australia’s Soundwave Festival because they don’t want to play with Limp Bizkit. Promoter AJ Maddah, who (despite the recently-cancelled Soundwave Revolution with Van Halen) has been behind many successful tours, confirmed reports that Love wanted out because she didn’t want to play support to Limp Bizkit. “That seems to be the excuse,” Maddah tweeted. “Funny that they reconfirmed after seeing the rest of the line-up and artwork,” Maddah later posted. “No point talking her back, only for her to cancel later, or turn up & act like a rotten [expletive] to other artists, fans, etc.” Other acts on Soundwave 2012 include Marilyn Manson, Coal Chamber, System of A Down, Slipknot, Machine Head, Trivium, Devin Townsend Project, Dragonforce, Steel Panther, Black Label Society, Mastodon, Alter Bridge, Angels & Airwaves and more.
HOLE - MALIBU Travis Barker is desperate to cure his fear of flying so Blink 182 can tour all over the world again. The drummer hasn’t set foot on a plane since the 2008 crash in which four of the six people on board will killed, while he and his friend Adam Goldstein were left severely injured. The aftermath of the tragedy saw Blink 182 reuniting after years of acrimony – and now Barker would like to wipe out the remaining negativity from his life. He tells Rolling Stone: “I’m trying to get hypnotised and I’ve been talking to a doctor who retrains your brain. Barker vowed to enjoy a new lease of life while he was recovering from the near-fatal crash. “When I was lying in my hospital bed, I promised myself than if I could ever walk again, I’d swim every day, exercise and eat well. “I used to drink and had a painkiller addiction, but all that stopped after my accident. “I looked death right in the eye.” Barker's story is going to go down as one of the craziest stories the Rock world has ever seen. ------------------------------BREAK----------------------- Tweet of the day! “WE START IN THE STUDIO NOV 1ST....
