Somewhere, the seventh grade me is jumping up and down with glee: Motley Crue has announced that it will play Dr. Feelgood in its entirety on its upcoming Crue Fest 2: White Trash Circus tour. No word at this time whether "Rat Tail" Jimmy will be on hand for the shows.
Apparently, the Sublime boys didn't take notice of The Doors... er, I mean Riders on The Storm's massive fail: The surviving members of the band are looking to tarnish its legacy by touring with a new singer.
Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Michael McKean are taking off the wigs and costumes for their upcoming Spinal Tap tour. Lame! But maybe they'll bring midgets with them instead?
