94XPOSED WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 30

Most obscure artists would be flattered if a multi-platinum rock star thought highly enough of one of their songs that they recorded a cover version. That wasn't the case for Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Veddar. He got sued for a cover song because he changed the lyrics. The Pearl Jam star recorded Gordon Peterson's tune "Hard Sun" in 2007 for Sean Penn's film "Into the Wild", but Peterson, who originally wrote the track in 1987, wasn't happy when he heard the finished version - and realized the rock icon had altered the lyrics. Peterson is now suing Vedder and has filed papers in New York's Manhattan federal court. The suit states, "Vedder altered certain key lyrics of 'Hard Sun'... eroding the integrity of the composition." What lyrics did Vedder change? The original Lyrcs are: “When she comes to greet me / she is mercy at my feet / When I stay to pillage her / She just throws it back at me,” Eddie Vedder sings, “When she comes to greet me / she is mercy at my feet / I see her inner charm / she just throws it back at me.” Sounds to me like an obscure Canadian Artist is just looking for a free paycheque. Hopefully the courts will agree. To further piss off the original Composer, here is Eddies Version of the track on 94Xposed!!!

Kings of Leon megahit "Use Somebody" was written by Caleb Followill as an apology to his bandmates after a drunken fight - and now the group hates the song. The frontman came up with the tune by speeding up Joe Cocker tune "Up Where We Belong" during a soundcheck in Scotland - and now the song is up for a clutch of Grammy Awards next year after becoming one of the biggest hits globally in 2009. Despite the song's success, the group now hates it. Jared Followill tells Spin magazine, "Before it was on the radio every five seconds, I thought 'Use Somebody' was a good song, but it's hard to f**ckin' like it when you hear it 90 times a day."

KINGS OF LEON - USE SOMEBODY
METRIC - GIMME SYMPATHY


Four albums into their career, Canadian indie rockers Metric have been named MySpace Music’s Triumph of the Year thanks to the success of their 2009 album Fantasies, which took only four weeks to beat previous album’s Live It Out sales over four years. The feat was more remarkable because Metric accomplished it without the aid of any record label, releasing Fantasies on their own Metric Music International. The album spawned the radio hit “Help I’m Alive,” which reached Number 30 on the Billboard Rock Songs list, Metric’s first appearance on the chart, while Fantasies peaked at Number One on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.
