Not content to allow Bon Jovi to ruin the Bank Atlantic Center in Florida via drummed up and excited fans going crazy for their Rock idols, a lunatic called in a bomb threat on Saturday before the show was about to kick off.

The center had to be evacuated while Police sniffer dogs searched the premises as the legion of fans waited patiently outside with nothing but a hope ( I could have written : living on a prayer - but you’d have hated me for that) that they’d get back in to see the show.

The evenings festivities were meant to start at 7:30pm but the fans had to wait an extra 2 hours to get back in - with Bon Jovi taking the stage at 10:30pm.

In a refreshing tone Bon Jovi addressed the crowd with :

“I want to thank you for sticking around. It’s sad but true but we now have to be aware of our surroundings. When the call came in during sound check, the police chief said it was serious. I want to thank the men and women in the police department.”

Alas the crowd got their show and undoubtedly were not disappointed.

Music-news.com has released a story that indicates that Metallica are about to release their next album for free.

This is wholly inaccurate and radical reporting.

Metallica are currently signed to a deal with one album remaining and no record label on the planet will allow a band that big to walk away early.

Lars Ulrich has reportedly told Rolling Stone magazine that the band are reviewing new business models and that Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are bands that they are monitoring closely.

Of course - every established band in existence these days is looking at what Radiohead have done. They used the roller-coaster of public opinion to massive affect and have seemingly succeeded. Who wouldn’t want to replicate that? Its the pinnacle of what Rock stands for - Stick it to the man.

Of-course you shouldn’t get excited just yet about a free Metallica album. They must release their last album to complete their contract first - then they are free to skip with the hippies.

One year ago Lady Antebellum were signing their first record contract, Capitol Nashville. The band have just released their self titled debut album. It has entered the Billboard Country chart at number 1 and number 4 in the main chart - quite the achievement for the trio.

The album kicks off strongly with ‘Love Don’t Live Here’ and ‘Lookin’ For A Good Time’ - the latter being my favourite on the album as it is a fun song. ‘All We’d Ever Need’ takes the album into ’serious thought’ territory. It picks back up with ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’ - another favourite on the record.

Overall - a good solid album which should have longevity.

Favourites: Lookin’ For A Good Time, Home Is Where The Heart Is, Love’s Lookin’ Good On You.

The Arctic Monkey’s have revealed that they are to work on new material this summer for their third album - but it won’t be released this year.

At the moment the band are said to have six songs ready - This is a collection of demos and songs they have been playing while on tour.

Alex Turner is quoted by NME as saying “No, take it easier, chill out a bit and consider” in regards to the release of a new album. While in the studio recording the existing 6 tracks, in January, the band were apparently tempted to stay in and complete the record - but decided against it.

I can understand the need to chill out and take it easy. Tours can be a string of stressful and tiring events. It’s not just a case of turning up and playing. The band has to get around as many local radio stations, TV studio’s, photo shoots and God know whats else.

They should also take the time to enjoy their wealth. Why work yourself into the ground when the true end goal of work is to have enough money to enjoy yourself?

When Pete Doherty gets out of jail he will be homeless.

This is a result of being evicted from his country mansion following the landlord’s inspection of the premises.

The landlord, shocked, found the nine bedroom country residence in complete disarray with blood on the walls. Literally. He also found 9 cats running wild around the Wiltshire abode - having been locked in while the singer has been in jail.

Also adding to the amazement of the landlord was the fact that Doherty had taken to writing on the walls and floors around the mansion.

Sounds like a nice crib you had their Pete - kept the place tip top.

It’s a fascinating insight into how the man lives and to what extent drugs will alter your mind. How have the walls been splattered with blood? Why would you write on the walls and floor - ever heard of a notepad? I’ve heard of a band who wrote a hit song on the back of a matchbox.

Part of this seems like the extremes of drugs, and another part seems like the man wants to go down in history like Jeff Buckley as a “died young had massive potential” kid - while at the same time leaving “priceless” writings/items of a demented genius.

Isn’t this how art is made? Would you buy that scribbled on wallpaper if it was carefully scraped off and framed?

Ashlee Simpson maybe pregnant - if reports are to be believed.

The recently engaged ‘Autobiography’ singer is reportedly attempting to rush through the marriage ceremony so that the baby will be born in wedlock. Very noble.

Music-news.com reports that the singer is asking everyone if she “shows” yet - seemingly wanting to ensure that her wedding dress isn’t hoisted up at the front by her baby bump.

Ashlee’s fiance, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy fame, doesn’t seem as enthused about the news and has denied that his significant other is pregnant. Maybe no one has told him that they are telling people now?

Anyways the baby, if it exists, is due in October.

After 14 years, $13million and a lot of false promises, ‘Chinese Democracy’ is reportedly ready for pressing.

Hailed as the best Guns N’ Roses album ever by lead singer the album has talked about in the press and music circles for so long that everyone began to accept that it was never going to happen.

Now, Geffen records has announced that they have received the production ready run of the album and are now haggling with Axl Rose over the finer financial details.

This is still a stumbling block and something the ever erratic Rose could pull the album over - so I am not about to get excited by this news.

I can’t wait though. If it’s anything like Appetite for Destruction or Use Your Illusion then FINALLY we’ll have a proper Rock band again. Everyone will comment about the band not being Guns N’ Roses without Slash and Sorum - and as much as that argument is valid - Good music is good music. If Chinese Democracy delivers all that it is hyped to be - I’d bet Slash will be given his place as a previous band member and that will be that.

Still no release details though….

The American version of Pop Idol, cleverly named American Idol, has been labelled as “mind numbingly boring” by the ever critical Simon Cowell. He is reported as saying :

“It’s a reality show. If you’re bored you’re bored. If you’re not, you’re not. I can’t help it if I’m bored. Sometimes it’s mind-numbingly boring, and it shows on my face.”

I can see how listening to a conveyor belt of singing pig meat would be boring - but surely he could spice it up a little.

Maybe, when people walk in, he could just start saying no to ugly people - talent or not. This would make the line move much faster and it makes economical sense. Ordinary men people want model gorgeous women/men singing their power ballads and wasted pop - not some fat bird. I’m sure this is a concept not lost on Cowell, but some of the people he lets in the competition beggars belief. Check out the mugs on this lot :

Sure - this might not sit well with Human Rights activists or Greenpeace (’cause for some of the contestants - you just can’t be sure), but it would definitely liven things up a tad.

The music mogul went on to add :

“We always say, we can’t guarantee we will find a superstar. We will do our best, but we are at the mercy of who turns up at the auditions.”

True - but couldn’t you just contact the local drama and arts college and grab some proper talent - even if you force them through the show. Surely that’s what happened with Leona Lewis?

Shoot Me.

Born in 1986 and dead in the water in 1994 the band started with a flop album and ended with a flop album. Hangin’ Tough shot them into the limelight in 1988 as it went on to sell nearly 7 million albums. That’s pretty respectable.

Now back together and recording a new album the boy-band (coin new phrase:: boydancers??) have a few scheduled gigs this May.

There has been many a rumour suggesting a reunion in the past - even MTV tried and failed to get the boydancers back together. Alas, all those years of yearning for another bedside poster of NKOTB have come to an end.

I can see the light-bulbs above their heads when this idea was conceived: “This is gonna be great! We’ll make millions! All the young girls that supported us all those years ago will be grown up now - with jobs - and money!”.

Just like Boyzone and Take That, all the old school boy-bands are getting back together to rehash their old material and go on massive tours. It’s a capitalist that says “everyone has a right to make money” and a musician that says “this is disgusting manipulation”. I hang my hat in both camps on this one.

Where you a New Kids On The Block fan all those years ago? Are you excited about this news? Let us know in the comments…
