Joe Perry Gives Steven Tyler Silent Treatment Over Canceled Aerosmith TourPhoto: Kane/WireImage Fans aren’t the only ones frustrated over the cancellation of Aerosmith’s summer trek. In an interview with the AP, guitarist Joe Perry expressed extreme disappointment that the band was unable to see the tour to its end—so much so that Perry hasn’t spoken to lead singer Steven Tyler in over a month. “The tour was building up to be a great tour, and I was pretty [upset], you know,” Perry told the AP. “I haven’t talked to him in over five weeks. I don’t know what’s going on

New Reviews: The Prodigy, JJ Cale, K’Naan, Papa RoachThe guys who played electronica like they were rock stars in the ’90s grow old, start getting clumsy and uninspired… Hey, just like real rock stars do! Not even the march of time can stop these guys from creating a constant stream of pummeling, vacuous rave noise — which writer Will Hermes says is “useful mainly for thrash dancing and scaring neighbors.” • The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die The great 16th album from JJ Cale comes just in time to influence country blues rockers like M. Ward. Still sticking to his guns at 70, he might even be the model for indie-rock longevity. • JJ Cale - Roll On Somalia-raised, Toronto-based rapper K’naan thinks like Bob Marley, flows like Eminem and mixes African music with conscious hip-hop, unabashed pop and even metal. • K’Naan - Troubadour Sloppy Atlanta “flower punk” band Black Lips clean themselves up for their fifth album, biting the 13th Floor Elevators and singing about the New York Dolls. • Black Lips - 200 Million Thousand One of indie rock’s great also-rans, Clem Snide returns with an album that’s simultaneously edgy and refined. • Clem Snide - Barracuda Intrepid Mexican electronic band Kinky return for their fourth album and still get the party started, even if it’s with ham-fisted chants and mash-ups • Kinky - Barracuda Virginia extreme metal powerhouse Lamb of God delve into grooves and tunes on their sixth album. They change their model, they still stick to an old blueprint. • Lamb Of God - Wrath Papa Roach hasn’t been a rap-rock band for a little while now. But what exactly are they? • Papa Roach - Metamorphosis All Rolling Stone album reviews

Van Zandt on Max Weinberg’s Busy Dance CardPhoto: Pereira/WireImage Last week NBC’s website confirmed that drummer/bandleader Max Weinberg is definitely coming to Los Angeles when Conan O’Brien takes over The Tonight Show. So what does that mean for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s tour, which kicks off a European leg two days before Conan’s June 1st Tonight Show premiere? “We’re still figuring that out,” says E Street guitarist Steve Van Zandt. “We’ll see. I think Max will be there for most of it. I just got home from Europe, so I haven’t even talked to Max to see what the latest news is. I know he was very much trying to figure it out.” When Max himself spoke to Rolling Stone earlier this year he described NBC’s extreme patience over his frequent absences, hitting the road with the increasingly busy Springsteen. “It’s a hell of a problem to have in this economy,” he said, explaining that a well known NBC sitcom star’s attorney asked why Weinberg was allowed sabbaticals when his client couldn’t take one to film a movie. “The NBC lawyer thought for a second, then said, ‘The next time Bruce Springsteen asks your client to play drums, she can do that.’ In the legal department it’s known as the Weinberg-Springsteen Rule.” Whether or not the Weinberg-Springsteen rule applies to the first few weeks of The Tonight Show, however, is up in the air. “Max will be fine until the beginning of the show on June 2nd,” says Van Zandt. “After that, we’ll see. I’m sure Max will be there for most, if not all of the tour. He’s as dedicated as it gets. I used to have to fly home every day off and film The Sopranos. He may have to do something like that. Conan, it must be said, has been tremendous. Once that second banana [former sidekick Andy Richter] split, I started to get concerned. I was like ‘Uh-oh. Now Max is not only the music director, he’s also the second banana.’ That’s a huge role to play.” Is the band thinking about a possible temporary replacement? “No names have come up yet,” says Van Zandt. “I don’t know i

Madonna, Mellencamp, Cohen Honored at Emotional Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction As Iggy Pop and the Stooges pounded through punked-up reinventions of inductee Madonna’s “Burning Up” and “Ray of Light” Monday night at the 23rd annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, it was only the most extreme example of what the show did all night long: find unexpected common ground between disparate genres and eras of music. The broad range of newly inducted artists included John Mellencamp, the Ventures, Leonard Cohen and the Dave Clark Five, the last of whom inspired the evening’s most impassioned speech: fan Tom Hanks vividly described hearing the British Invasion band’s hits coming out of a “speaker the size of a soda can” as a kid. “Joy is eternal,” Hanks said. “Joy was in the music of the Dave Clark Five. Their records still jump out of any speaker.” (Click here for photos from last night’s ceremony.) Justin Timberlake inducted Madonna with a light-hearted, flirtatious speech. “The world is full of Madonna wannabes. I might have even dated a couple. But there truly is only one Madonna,” he said, adding, “Though I’m pretty sure Little Richard would disagree, the truth is that nobody has ever gotten into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while still looking this damn fine.” He also told a story about Madonna giving him a B-12 shot: “That’s what Madonna was and will continue to be for all of us: A shot in the ass when we need it most,” Timberlake said. Madonna seemed moved by the occasion, appearing close to tears at a couple points as she gave a lengthy, heartfelt talk. She offered a brief history of her career, describing her first stabs at music: playing drums along with Elvis Costello records, and strumming four chords on a guitar. She thanked an old ballet teacher “who told me I was special,” and talked about songwriting in mystical terms: “Luckily, I have been miraculously and mysteriously possessed by

Foxy Brown Faces More Legal Dilemmas, Godsmack and Extreme Honor Boston’s Brad Delp, Kevin Federline Nabs TV Spot Rap-sheet staple Foxy Brown is at it again, just one week after being accused of assault for hurling a Blackberry at her neighbor. Brown was pulled over in New Jersey for chatting on her cell phone while driving — a no-no in the Garden State — and upon being questioned by the officer, gave false information as to the spelling of her last name and date of birth. After failing to find her records, Brown gave the correct info on the second pass, to which the officers discovered Brown was driving with a suspended license. Good news for Brown, though: Foxy has also revealed she is pregnant and getting married in September. No word yet who the groom is. A tribute concert for Boston singer Brad Delp, who passed away in March, took place on Sunday night in the Massachusetts capital. Boston guitarist Tom Scholz, Extreme and Godsmack were on the bill, as were two of Delp’s bands, Beatle Juice and RTZ. Pete Doherty has been cleared of yesterday’s post-V Festival drug charges, thanks to a U.K. technicality that states all suspects must be brought to court within twenty-four hours. Music piracy: good in theory, bad for the economy. A recent study by the conservative think tank Policy Innovation claims that the illegal distribution of music costs the U.S. $12.5 billion and 71,260 jobs annually. Kevin Federline, following his Brando-esque turn in CSI, will appear in two upcoming episodes of One Tree Hill. The seemingly less-crazy half of the Brit/K-Fed dissolution will play the frontman of the fictional band No Means Yes. Photo: Wintrow/Getty

Fricke’s Picks: The Monks The silver lining around the passing on January 10th of banjo player Dave Day Havlicek of Sixties extreme-beat band the Monks (he died of heart failure at age sixty-six) is that he lived long enough to see the group ascend to its rightful place on garage-rock Olympus. Five ex-GIs based in Germany, the Monks dressed like Franciscans (complete with the clerical haircuts) and played a severe rock descended from the Star Club-era Beatles but shorn of the rockabilly and Motown influences and standard pop-song grammar (”Boys Are Boys and Girls Are Choice,” “Oh, How to Do Now”), with Day’s rapid-fire banjo chords sounding like he was strumming bamboo. At once ultraprimitive and the future of rock two decades hence, the Monks were post-punk before there were punks, an achievement nailed on the group’s sole album, 1966’s Black Monk Time (of the various reissues, get one with the non-LP singles). Deeper listening: Demo Tapes 1965 (Play Loud!), a one-day session even more rude and brittle than the ‘66 album, and Silver Monk Time: A Tribute to the Monks (Play Loud!), two CDs of homage by assorted Monks spawn, including the Fall, the Gossip, Jon Spencer and a combo called the Havletones — with Day himself pummeling that banjo.

Blondie’s Debbie Harry Shows Her True Colors on Summer Tour When the True Colors tour kicks off this Friday in Las Vegas, Debbie Harry will be performing solo for the first time since Blondie reunited a decade ago. “It’s sort of experimental for me,” she says. “I’m going to be doing it in a very stripped-down way. No big band.” Her reasons for working solo instead of under the Blondie name are simple: “Blondie doesn’t have a record deal,” she says. “I can do a solo project much more economically.” The sixteen-date tour, which also includes Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, The Dresden Dolls and The Gossip, will raise money for the Human Rights Campaign and the Matthews Shepherd Foundation. Rosie O’Donnell, Rufus Wainwright and The Indigo Girls are guesting on select dates. “The thing that startles and stuns me is that there are so many extreme Christian groups that are anti-gay,” Harry says. “I can’t understand how anyone who believes themselves to be a deeply religious person can have a prejudice like that. It’s just so destructive. This tour is going to unify people and give them a chance to celebrate their personal freedoms.” For more information check out our summer tour special and the True Colors website.

Napalm Death get experimental on new albumNapalm Death will release their new album, Time Waits For No Slave on February 2 through Century Media. According to bassist Shane Embury, the new disc will feature a slightly different direction. "Even though we're a very extreme band, I don't think any album sounds the same as the last one [2006’s Smear Campaign]," he says. "There's a little more experimentation."
