Inland Invasion 2006 featuring Guns and Roses!

According to an interview of Axl this morning on KROQ, Guns and Roses will headline this years event. Past headliners were The Sex Pistols which we had the pleasure of being at. While the 2002 event hosted a ton of punk bands I wonder if this years will be more of a metal theme. Apparently the story I posted earlier about Guns and Roses playing at a private party was true as Axl talked about it this morning. See photos of the event here. In the earlier article about the event, the writer spoke of a fight that had gone on inside the party that delayed him getting in…Axl said this morning that he was attacked by Tommy Hilfiger for moving his girlfriends drink and regarded it as the “most surreal thing” that has happened to him.

You can hear the interview from KROQ here.

David Lee Roth off the air

I’m not sure of the whole story yet but it is official, Dave has been booted from CBS. Dave says he was ‘booted and tossed and someone will pay’. He reportedly heard the news on the way to the studio this morning on his cell phone. Apparently CBS will replace Dave with shock jocks Opie & Anthony creating the first ever sattelite to sydication deal. Opie & Anthony used to be on CBS until they were fired and went to XM radio. Stern commented plenty of times saying that a radio show is not made in 30 days or even a year. Stern made his way the same way Dave was trying to do back when radio still had credibility before Clear Channel took over. Stern made fun of Opie and Anthony and had a rivarly with them when he was with CBS. I bet money that Dave will end up on Sterns show at LEAST as a guest in the future.

Update: 4/22

Dave wasn’t in too bad of a mood from his departure. Read more here about how he made a suprise appearance at a private party and sang with the house band.
