Happy news now; Iron Maiden fans are
rejoicing as vocalist Bruce Dickinson has been
given the “all clear” from doctors and has
bounced back from a cancer battle Drummer
Nicko McBrain who welcomed Jesus into his life
after visiting his wife's church admitted that he
at one point thought Iron Maiden was finished
but prayed to God for Bruce Dickinson to
recover Not many people know this but Nicko
McBrain's saint like wife Rebecca McBrain
allegedly tried to stab two people in her home
a couple of years ago with a decorative lance
and when she failed to successfully wound them
she hit them with logs Anyway Iron Maiden
recently had a debut at No in the UK with
their sixteenth album “The Book Of Souls"
Making headlines this month in regards to
albums were the Stereophonics who beat Bring
Me the Hairspray in the chart wars to claim
their sixth No Other albums out this month
are Killing Joke's “Pylon” (Spinefarm) Children
of Bodom release the “I Worship Chaos” record
(Nuclear Blast) there's “Volume” by Skindred
(Napalm) and Monster Magnet's eleventh
studio album titled “Cobras and Fire” (Napalm)
Meanwhile some people are contemplating
giving away their left arm for a copy of Def
Leppard's self titled new studio album released
on October th On the subject of their lead
single "Let's Go" Joe Elliot explained “It's a call
to arms you know? Rick Savage wrote
percent of the song I wrote the verses he
wrote all the music and the choruses He came
in with it and we knew it was a classic Def
Leppard song" We'll be all clapping to that one
then
Music in politics Rocket man Elton John was
fooled into believing he was talking to Russian
nuclear rocket man Vladimir Putin Elton has
turned this viral prank phone call into a plea to
improve gay rights in Russia; a bit like Justin
Bieber asking Pinhead from the Hellraiser
movies to improve human rights in the
Cenobite realm
Music technology news first; Hologram USA are
planning to recreate Whitney Houston and tour
the world with her Houston’s sister in law Pat
Houston called the hologram a “great
opportunity for her fans to see a reinvention of
one the most celebrated female artists in
history” I'm hoping it's historically accurate and
done with impeccable taste; hopefully we'll see
one of her many threesomes in a cum stained
limo a classic reenactment of her being driven
to a ghetto with her daughter to pick up crack
or maybe even her final bath One good thing
about the Hologram is that there's no way it can
be harmed by way of Bobby Brown punching it
Pathetic unneeded controversy surrounds
vegetarian and now pro vegan musician Ellie
Goulding who has baffled her supporters with
her latest album cover which shows her naked
under a fur coat Relax; it's a fake; it's not a
bloody real fur skin and she hasn't got any
meaty norks either so her fans all need to just
stop acting like wild animals on heat I'd
understand the fan outrage if the album cover
depicted herself spanking the bollocks off a
dead mountain Gorilla or maybe if she recreated
a scene from the film The Human Centipede by
sewing giant Pandas to her face and arse but it's
just a photo of her stood in the buff wearing a
fake fur and looking like Chewbacca unzipped
