Bret Michaels needs money
The reasons behind Bret Michaels appearance on a new VH1 show, Rock of Love Boat (click) have been revealed.
Apparently his music career is dead and he can’t even give away tickets to his shows. Because of this, some show in Washington last week was cancelled. Damn, lucky guys.
One spokesperson commented “We heard a lot of people talking about it, but people just didn’t buy tickets.”
So all you fans better make sure you watch his, no doubt to be amazing, Rock of love boat show, if you want to save his career.
My advice though is don’t.
In other news, apparently the once famous has-been has taken to advertising deoderant, as can be seen from the above picture.

Airbourne to play next year's Wacken
The highly original Airbourne have been confirmed for next year’s Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. Also confirmed are Blind Guardian, Apocalyptica, Suicidal Tendencies, and Avantasia.
When asked if Airbourne had ever considered writing some original material, the singer was too busy screaming “THUNDERSTRUCK!” to respond.
If you’re German and want to check out a glorified AC/DC tribute act with a singer that doesn’t sound like a demented chimp, then you can see them August 4-6, 2011. Mark it in your diaries now!
Bring Me The Horizon release new "song"
Bring Me The Horizon, the group of pre-pubescent cross-dressers, famous for marketing clip on emo fringes and urinating on their fans, are back with a new song, elinquently titled “Fuck“.
You can check out the fanastic shit blend of Fashioncore and Deathcore here.
Rose 'N' Friends perform acoustic show in Paris
Either Axl Rose, the nice guy that just doesn’t understand “immigrants and faggots”, has gone senile in his old age, or no one has got round to telling the ginger singer that Guns N’ Roses died over 17 years ago.
Regardless, a band of hired professional musicians and one commercially-minded opportunist insist in making use of the name for what I can only assume is, the music and definitely not the money right? Axl Rose, now looking more like a Jerry Springer contestant, finally released his Chinese Democracy album in 2008 and has been playing a number of shows since.
If you want to see a really bad tribute band turn up an hour late and then throw onstage hissy fits resulting in the show being cut short, then (hired) Guns N’ Rose may be the band for you.
The washed up Axl Rose and his bandmates recently performed an acoustic set in Paris the other day. If you want to see some footage from this performance, don’t bother. They’re shit. But really, if you do, just click the read more button.

Anthrax singer interviewed
Anthrax‘s singer was recently interviewed. I’m not sure which one though, because they like to change their singer weekly.
Upon further inspection, it seems to be the one that looks and sounds like an old man. Obviously they’ve opted for the “classic lineup” this week. When asked why guitarist Scott Ian likes to tape a racoon to his face, the singer unfortunately had no comments to make. Check out the interview here.
