SUM 41 FEAT. IGGY POP - LITTLE KNOW IT ALL Jon Bon Jovi's charitable good works continue to move apace as his Soul Foundation opened a $3 million shelter for homeless young people in Philadelphia. The Rights of Passage apartments were officially opened yesterday (April 19) in the Kensington district of Philadelphia by Bon Jovi and Mayor Michael Nutter who said: "The Rights of Passage Program not only provides a safe place for homeless youth, but also provides skills and experiences needed to become independent and responsible adults" ------------------------BREAK--------------------------- Radiohead’s release campaign surrounding their “The King Of Limbs” album appears to be complete. The group rewarded fans who pre-ordered the disc earlier this year with a special treat – two new songs. The tracks, “Supercollider” and “The Butcher,” were released in the U.K. over the weekend as part of a Record Store Day promotion, but those who pre-ordered the album got an e-mail Tuesday night stating, “It’s a thank you for being SO supportive of what we do.” The band also stated that fans should not view it as a “loyalty points” or “club card” offering that would lead to more. It was a simple “big old-fashioned thank you.”
RADIOHEAD - KARMA POLICE Slash has said that he does not see Velvet Revolver working together for at least another couple of years. The hard rock band have yet to replace singer Scott Weiland, who departed in 2008. Recent rumors that Slipknot's Corey Taylor might get the gig have been quashed. Slash told Vorterix.com: "We did work with Corey Taylor, and as soon as that rumor [got around], next thing you know, everybody is saying Corey's the new singer... All we were doing was just rehearsing with him and trying him out – auditioning him... It just didn't seem to fit right to me. And he's great – and I love Corey – but it didn't seem like the answer to the Velvet Revolver problem." Its starting to look like Velvet Revolver is dead. -------------------------BREAK---------------------------- The Foo Fighters had quite the honor bestowed on them this week! They have released their first ever #1 album! Wasting light is in stores now and in its first week of sales it sold 235,000 copies! Dave Grohl hit up his Twitter page to say thanks! “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you everyone. I can't wait to answer the "Is rock and roll dead" question now....” – Foo Fighters.
