The guitarist in the hat is everywhere, but he's not real. That was one of the messages delivered on this week's new South Park episode, "Crack Baby Athletic Association," which mixed a sports-themed storyline with rock n' roll guitarist Slash. In the episode, Clyde and Craig need to find Slash for their boss Eric Cartman so that he can play at the event EA Sports is sponsoring. Clyde calls his parents when he can't find Slash and they explain that Slash is make-believe, that he is actually based on the Dutch legend of the Vünter Slauche. If you think Cartman and the boys were surprised to hear the news about Slash, imagine what the guitarist must have been thinking, as he posted the following note to Facebook following the program...... "I'm not.....real? :("

AC/DC’s Brian Johnson is doing some press in the New York area this week while he’s out promoting his new book, "Rockers And Rollers: A Full Throttle Memoir. The book details Brian’s history - from teenage memories in the backs of beat-up coups to a side career as a racecar driver - Johnson shares his tantalizing life story in a memoir told through his lifelong love affair with cars. Wednesday morning, Brian joined Howard Stern for a chat, and they – inevitably – got around to talking music. Stern asked Johnson how the band wrote their all-time classic, “You Shook Me All Night Long.”

AC/DC - YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG
NICKELBACK - BURN IT TO THE GROUND

Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has been ordered to pay his former partner $25,000 a month in support payments, after she argued $10,000 wasn’t enough. Kroeger and Marianna Goriuk split in 2009 after nearly seven years together, during which time the musician’s income exploded towards last year’s figure of $9.7m a year. When their common-law relationship ended he agreed to make payments, but she took him to court in Vancouver to demand more – including $5100 per month for pet care including a horse he bought for her for her birthday. One word, Chad. Pre-nup. Prenups take care of greedy ex's!!!

Well this is a bummer. We’ve been anticipating a new album from Silverchair since they whipped out two new songs last year. It’s been too long since 2007’s Young Modern. Unfortunately, however, the band has decided to call it quits, for awhile at least. The split appears to be completely amicable, and we look forward to seeing where the band members go from here, and whether or not it eventually leads to a reformation.

SILVERCHAIR - ABUSE ME
