ARCADE FIRE
ACDC
 
A new AC/DC exhibit has opened in Glasgow. "AC/DC Scotland's Family Jewels" opened this past weekend at Kelvingrove Museum. It's the first time this band-approved exhibition has left Australia and Scotland seemed like the obvious place to bring it. Both Angus and Malcolm Young were born in Glasgow before the family moved to Australia in 1963.

The Lou Reed and Metallica project, "Lulu," is just over month away from its release but you can get a taste today. The guys have offered up the first preview of a track from the album, a 30-second snippet of the disc's second track, "The View."
 
 
METALLICA
INXS
 
INXS have fired their frontman J.D. Fortune for the second time in two years. He won his place in the band in 2005 after winning the TV talent search Rock Star: INXS, but he was booted from the line-up in 2009 and forced to seek help for a drug abuse problem that was spiralling out of control..

The Foo Fighters confronted anti-gay protesters outside their Kansas concert by serenading them with an ode to tolerance. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church lined up outside Kansas City's Sprint Center ahead of the gig to protest against the rockers, who they have accused of promoting "fornication and adultery". But frontman Dave Grohl and his bandmates ensured they had the last laugh after performing a comedy song in front of the picket line while wearing trucker hats, wigs and fake bushy beards. Standing in the back of a flat-bed truck, Grohl belted out his specially-penned track Keep It Clean, which included the line, "I've got a hankering for something, think I'm in the mood for some hot man-muffins."
