94XPOSED TUESDAY MARCH 22ND

2003 – Axl Rose sent The Offspring a cease-and-desist letter after they jokingly decided to title their next disc “Chinese Democracy (You Snooze You Lose).”  The group eventually switched the title to “Splinter.”. C'mon Axl! Grab a sense of humour and join the rest of the world in your joke of an album!

 

OFFSPRING - SELF ESTEEM

ALICE IN CHAINS - WOULD

 

Friends, family and fans of Alice in Chains and its first bass player, Mike Starr, gathered at the International Fountain at Seattle Center Sunday to listen to the band's music as a public memorial to Starr. The former bassist died March 8 in Salt Lake City. He was 44. Starr left the Seattle grunge band in 1993 after playing on its first two EPs, "We Die Young" and "Sap," and its first two albums, "Facelift" and "Dirt." He publicly battled drug addiction on the reality show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" early last year. He talked on camera about possibly being the last person to see Alice in Chains lead singer Layne Staley alive; Staley died in 2002 from an overdose.
