Slash Sneaks Conan O'Brien Onto Leno ShowApril 7, 2010 Slash pulled off the ultimate act of defiance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" last night -- dude rocked a Team Coco pin on the air during his performance at the end of the show! Though it appears NBC tried to edit around the Conan O'Brien support symbol, a few shots of the pin still managed to make air. No word if Jay even noticed. Here's Slash and Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother on Leno Pretty freakin rockin performance!

Japan's Biggest Rock Band to Play Lollapalooza They are the biggest rock band in Japanese history. They've sold more than 30-million units worldwide. They've sold out Japan's 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome 18 times...so far. Their look was the direct inspiration for today's Anime. Yoshiki, the band's leader, songwriter, drummer and classically-trained pianist, was commissioned to compose and perform a piano concerto for the Emperor of Japan to help celebrate the Emperor's 10th year on the throne. Their song "I.V." was written for the 2007 international blockbuster horror film "Saw IV," and played over the film's closing credits. They are the first-ever Japanese band to play Lollapalooza's Main Stage, and will play August 2010 at Grant Park in Chicago. Their first U.S. release is set for this summer. Even with all of this success, you may have never heard of them. But that's about to change they are X Japan |

Duff set to quit Velvet Revolver? Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins says new recruit Duff McKagan has committed to being a full-time member of the band –and it might mark the end of his time with the dormant Velvet Revolver outfit. VR went on hiatus two years ago after sacking singer Scott Weiland, who returned to Stone Temple Pilots. Efforts to find a new singer have continued on and off, with band members regularly saying the hunt is still on. Meanwhile, guitarist Slash is touring his solo album while McKagan –who also fronts his own band, Loaded – was announced as Eric Avery's replacement in Jane's Addiction last week. And Perkins says their new member will clarify his position soon. He says "Duff knows how fragile bands are, but he's in for the ride. He's with us. He's one of us. Jane's Addiction is now the four of us: Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Duff and myself. "Duff's a full-time member and he's ready to bite off as much as we are. What that means for the future of Velvet Revolver, I don't know – I think he might be getting ready to say something in the column he writes for the Seattle Weekly." Perkins says the band weren't surprised when Avery finally left after months of hinting his heart wasn't in it. He explains: "Eric's decision is Eric's decision. I can't speak for him, but it's something that's been on his mind for a while. "Jane's Addiction has always dealt with extremes, whether musical or the way we work as a band. Moving forward is something we all want to do now, but Eric didn't want to move in the same way. He didn't feel the same sense of commitment to making new music. We couldn't force him to do something he doesn't feel, so that's kind of that. "We have to evolve. We discussed a few different bass players but suddenly Duff came into our lives. We had a jam or two and it felt great and we all said, 'Okay, why don't we do this?' "It's a cool clash of styles. We feel really together now as a band, very unified, and there's a lot of fresh energy. We're finding ourselves again. Even playing older songs like Mountain Song, it feels new again. "It's going to sound different to a lot of people, but maybe they'll appreciate it on a new level. I know we are." |

JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro has commented on the departure of founding bassist and the addition of VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES member Duff McKagan.
When asked by a fan on Navarro's official web site why JANE'S ADDICTION isn't continuing under a different name now that Eric — who was such a huge part of the band's sound and songwriting on 1988's "Nothing's Shocking" and 1990's "Ritual de lo Habitual" — is no longer a member of the group, Dave replied, "Eric was and remains a huge part of JANE'S. He has decided to leave for his own reasons.
"The three [remaining members of JANE'S ADDICTION] have spent the majority of our careers in this band and have had several lineup changes over the years. Changing the name wouldn’t make sense for us. It would be another situation entirely had Eric been asked to leave or if we didn’t intend on playing music from 'XXX', 'Nothing's Shocking' and 'Ritual'. Had that been the case, I would totally agree.
"I have had experience being the 'new guy' in an already existing band that had only two founding members. Never in a million years would I have expected them to change their name."
Regarding McKagan's addition to JANE'S, Navarro said, "We have been going over back catalogue and writing with Duff several days a week. However, the process of introducing a new member requires more than that. There is a musical and personal education that must take place. Learning dynamics, sensibilities, personalities and many other details is essential. We have been having a great time with all of this and have been expanding on what we can do individually and as a group. It's deeper than just learning some songs for Duff. He has to learn about us and we have to learn about him. Playing the older stuff is like a crash course on JANE'S while writing is an accelerated class for all of us. It's pretty great to be in both classes at once, something we have really never done in the past with a new member."
The new lineup of JANE'S ADDICTION made its live debut on March 30 at singer Perry Farrell's 51st birthday celebration at Les Deux in Los Angeles, California. The band's set included a cover version of LED ZEPPELIN's "Whole Lotta Love", fan-filmed video footage of which can be viewed below.
McKagan stepped in when Avery dropped out of the group for a second time earlier this year.
Several photos of JANE'S ADDICTION working in the studio with McKagan can be viewed at JanesAddiction.org.
After JANE'S reunited for a third time in late 2008 — with bassist Eric Avery on board for the first time since the band originally broke up in 1991 — and toured last spring with NINE INCH NAILS, the group began feuding once again as it tried to record new music.
Avery did not participate in the 1997 and 2001 reunions, but was replaced at different points by Flea, Martyn LeNoble and Chris Chaney.
JANE'S ADDICTION completed its participation in Australia's Soundwave Festival on March 1 in Perth.

I tried to write a book once.....it was a semi failure!! I don't think direct reporting is my biz although I DO dig writing about my fave music....and debating things about music, hopefully impartially and without bias  ......so I'll skip this one for now...but who knows what the future has in store for us!!!??
