I guess Bono has forgotten he's in U2. Because, suddenly, he says he's afraid that Coldplay, The Killers and Kings of Leon are making better music than he is.
Eminem's potentially landmark lawsuit against Universal Music Group is going to trial. Em feels he and the label should split download royalties 50/50 instead of the regular way royalties are distributed. If he wins, it'll change things for all artists, and not just Marshall Mathers.
Mike Patton and the rest of his Faith No More band are getting back together for a summer tour! In Europe. With no current plans for a U.S. tour.
Fred Durst actually impresses someone with his "singing."
