In other Led-Zeppelin-is-crap news, rumors are flying that the non-Plant contingent of the group are planning on a new tour with or without the singer. Of course, they'll need a qualified replacement. Their pick? Billboard reports that it's the dude fromALTER BRIDGE. In case you can't quite place the name, that's the band the dudes from Creed formed after Creed. I know I wrote the word "Creed" twice in pretty rapid succession there, and I've just done it again, too, but please direct your fucking attention to the fact that . . . Creeeeeed.
Sure, SCOTT STAPP may have been the annoying Christiany one and the rest of the band may have been fine, and maybe this Alter Bridge singer never had anything directly to do with Creed, but come on — you'd think Zeppelin would be a little more careful about associating with a suck of this magnitude. They're in danger of touching a dude who touched Creed. That puts them like two degrees of separation from Stapp, and suicide is morally requisite at anything less than five.
Then again, Page used to cavort with the WHITESNAKE guy, so whatever. Bonus terrible news: Billboard is whispering about a Creed reunion, but, Jesus, you don't even joke about stuff like that.
NEIL YOUNG's mega-forever-awaited Archives: Vol. 1 thingie has finally shown up for pre-order on Amazon: $309 for the DVD set or $388 for the Blu-Rays. Seems a little steep — for just the price of the DVDs, you could send Neil Young 735 letters telling him what a titty he's being with this whole thing.
And in local news: a garbage truck just drove by at 2 am blasting DRE & TUPAC's "California Love." Are garbage trucks allowed to do that? I hope not, because it's even cooler if the garbage man just doesn't give a fuck.
