Mick Hucknall in London. It happened at a hotel bar where Liam, who at the time was 25, approached Mick, who was celebrating his 38th birthday. Gallagher took issue with some things Mick said about the band in a recent interview and berated Hucknall. Mick threw Liam against a wall and security broke them up.

The Triad's Rock Station Real Rock 105.7

frontman Vince Neil
returned to the stage this weekend for his first post-pandemic show, and things did not go well. 
Vince had trouble getting through his set at the Boone River Valley Festival in Iowa, where he mostly performed Crüe classics. Reports suggest he struggled with his voice, which sounded particulary bad during “Dr. Feelgood.” Things only got worse when he tried to perform the
Beatles’“Helter Skelter” and forgot the lyrics and couldn’t hit the notes.
Vince finally gave up after trying to perform “Girls, Girls, Girls,” and walked off the stage, telling the audience, “I'm sorry, guys. It's been a long time playing — my f—ing voice is gone, adding, “We love you and we'll hopefully see you next time, man."

The sequel to 2005's Wedding Crashers not only has the green light but starts filming in August. Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher and Will Ferrell have all signed on to return.

Find out why Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos was suspected of being a spy.

The fact that this woman hauled ass out of the house to push a big ass bear off of a fence makes her a superstar! Never mind that she has 1000 dogs that were taunting the bear, she was protecting her family!

In 2004,
Patrick Matthews walked out on the band halfway through the middle of the first song during a gig in Sydney, Australia. Matthews was angry with singer

In 1977,

Possible thermal images of Australia's Bigfoot, a 9/11-themed bar, and a man in Spain who died inside a dinosaur statue were among the strange and unusual stories to cross our desk this past week.

When GNR bad ass Slash was recording his solo record back in 2010 he collaborated with a superstar list of incredible musicians. Chester Bennington and Slash recorded a song called Crazy that, until now, had been unheard. For whatever reason Linkin Park pumped the brakes on having this song released at the time so Slash re-recorded the song with Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead and called it Doctor Alibi.
This is only a 60 second clip but it is incredible to hear the voice of such an missed singer. If you're not an owner of Slash's solo record Slash, it is a must buy as it includes Ozzy, Iggy Pop, M. Shadows and Chris Cornell to name a few!

Whatever People Say I Am That’s What I’m Not. The event also saw

Rammstein just postponed their North American tour until 2022. Like many bands, Rammstein wants to play it safe b/c of Covid. This certainly puts a wrinkle in plans for sure but if you've already got a ticket, it will be valid for next year.
You can imagine all of the moving parts of putting a stadium tour together, ultimately safety is priority number one. As fans of live music, their is no lack of good news! Between now and the end of the year loads of bands will gas up tour busses and pull trailers filled with bad ass instruments so we can get back to seeing shows.

1. Chris’s real name was
Christopher John Boyle.
3. Cornell had five siblings: two older brothers and three younger sisters.

5. Before becoming a rocker, Chris worked at a seafood wholesaler and was a sous chef at a seafood restaurant.
6. In the early 80s, Chris was part of a cover band called

Add Godsmack to the list of bands who are working on a new record this year to drop in 2022! After buying a house in Florida, Sully Erna moved their studio from Massachusetts to work on the new music. Why the move? He was just over all of the crap related to the pandemic and wanted a fresh start for the band, his family and his mindset.
Talk about a band that stays on the gas. When Legends Rise came out 3 years ago and I, too, love that record. Bulletproof is sick and Unforgettable continues to rip it down. And if we're talking about bands who are in the studio making new music, Shinedown is working on SD7 in Charleston.

RIP MCA, who passed away on this day in 2012.

ChicagoVIII. It marked their third number one.

An alleged interview with Sasquatch, a 'crab humanoid' caught on film, and a UFO landing case wherein a chupacabra seemingly exited the craft were among the strange and unusual stories that captured our attention this past week.
One of the more curious UFO cases to cross our desk in quite some time occurred this past week by way of Bolivia where several witnesses saw a mysterious craft land in a field and subsequently release some kind of creature that they likened to the infamous chupacabra. The jaw-dropping incident took place in the town of Monteagudo when residents spotted an odd halo of light descending from the sky. Upon landing, they say, a one-foot-tall being with large eyes exited the craft and began running down the street frightening children before vanishing into the night. Fortunately, the 'visitor' did not return, though that does leave one wondering where it might have gone.

All he wanted was some financial gain! Francis Gurahoo flew from Guyana to JFK while smuggling 34 singing birds stuffed inside of luggage. Can you imagine when he was randomly selected for a search? Hell yeah authorities found all of the singing finches each inside its own hair curler.
Francis told the police that each bird could potentially sell for $3k. Bird singing competitions are big business in Brooklyn and Queens and are based on how many chirps they can chirp in a minute. My man had his family post his $25k bail after being charged with unlawful smuggling. I totally understand the stress he must have had during the flight. I've been super nervous before sneaking a bottle of sauce past TSA! Dreamland BBQ sauce is the best!

In 1994,
Chicago VII. 
In 1999, British band
The Verve, best known for their song “Bittersweet Symphony,” announced that they had split up. They’d reunite in 2007 for a year before hanging it up again.

The 2021 Grizzly Invitational in Logan, Utah had a 4-legged winner in one of the relay races. Gracie Laney from Logan High School was leading the final leg of the 4x200 relay when she felt something running up behind her. Turns out it was a dog named Holly that decided she wanted to run the race too!
Gracie ended up winning the race but was surprised to see the dog cross the finish line before her.
Um Klinger, why are we talking about this? Because dogs rule!

It is almost time to get our live music fix on with Korn! The band is setting up shop on the set of Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience in LA on Saturday for their global streaming event. The band has promised they're going deep into their list of songs and will also give us the sounds of their current record The Nothing too.
Do we really want to be double fisting beers standing right in front of the stage as KORN brings the fire? Hell yeah BUT this will work until bands start to hit the road again on the regular.

I am a long time fan of Rob Zombie on and off the stage. Behind the camera he's made some badass scary movies: 3 From Hell, Halloween and House Of 1000 Corpses to reel off a few. He's been given the green light to reboot The Munsters and the rumor is that it will stream on Peacock.
Zombie will once again stack the deck with his go-to stable of actors. Herman Munster will be played by Jeff Daniel Phillips and Rob Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie will be cast as Lily Munster. Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark, real life name Cassandra Peterson will also be in the reboot! Rounding out the cast is Richard Brake, Dan Roebuck and Jorge Garcia.

Courtney Love was mentally stable and help resolve a dispute over who owned the rights to
Nirvana’s recordings. The pair called Love “irrational, mercurial, self-centered, unmanageable, inconsistent and unpredictable” and said a contract was invalid because Courtney was stoned when she signed it.

They love death metal and celebrated that love using "You Suffer" by Napalm Death as their first dance song. It may be a quickie from Napalm Death but was perfect for the newlyweds who don't care for dancing, love death metal music, and wanted to stick with tradition!

And in 1980,
R.E.M. played their first gig as R.E.M. It took place at Athens, Georgia’s 11:11 Koffee Club in front of 150 people and the show ended when police shut it down since the venue was unlicensed.

WATCH: Before Cancel Culture Existed, Celebs Got Banned from SNL

Crescendo On Wisconsin, a statewide campaign committed to helping struggling Entertainment Industry workers stay safely in their homes by providing emergency energy and rental assistance during these difficult times.
The entertainment and hospitality industry has been one of the sectors hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the country, indoor music venues have faced capacity limitations making it impossible to remain open, while outdoor music events with large gatherings of people were canceled in an effort to curb the spread of the infectious disease.
Drastically reduced performance opportunities brought the industry to a screeching halt.
The Crescendo On Wisconsin Campaign is reaching out to provide a hand up by assisting entertainment industry workers (artists, musicians, stage and sound crew, venue workers, etc.) with obtaining much-needed financial assistance for keeping a roof over their heads or their heat and power on.
