There have been many big losses in the music world but few that just stop you in your tracks, leave you speechless and basically unable to function. Similarly, very few for whom you can say – as for countless others in your field – that without this person, you might not be who you are today, for your life would look very different. Ironically I was just planning to post a new track I’ve been holed up working on that’s directly influenced by him, playing an instrument based on his (swipe to see). It doesn’t feel appropriate to post it today (it’s another humorous song a la Zappa…maybe tomorrow), and the timing is eerie. There so much more to say, at a total loss for words. I can’t believe I have to type this right now: RIP #eddievanhalen 😢💔 #ripevh

Posted by caemanamelio on

Sammy Hagar’s “High Tide Beach Party & Car Show” has been cancelled. That event was supposed to be held in Huntington Beach, CA on September 28-29. State Parks superintendent Kevin Pearsall told ocregister.com that the festival was scrapped due to its production company Freeze Management failing to pay fees, including some related to public safety. Hagar said he was “surprised and very disappointed to learn of the cancelation” and “more than anything” he was “sorry to inconvenience the fans.” Festival organizers also commented:

“Due to being denied the necessry permit submitted on 12-16-18 from California State Parks the High Tide Party & Car Show scheduled for September 28 & 29, has been canceled. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to relocate the events. All ticket holders will automatically receive a refund through official ticketing outlets, Front Gate Tickets and GroupOn.”

Vince Neil & Nikki Sixx Blast Reelz For Mötley Crüe Episode Of “Breaking The Band”

Posted by caemanamelio on

It looks like Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx are not too happy with the new Mötley Crüe episode of Reelz’s “Breaking The Band” series. Both musicians have taken to social media to voice their concerns about the documentary, which Sixx says was unauthorized.

Here’s what Neil had to say:

“Breaking the band, fucking memories from a manager Doug Thaler who can’t remember that he’s the one who actually broke up the band! The band didn’t break up because of me racing. It broke up because he was too much of a pussy who didn’t just say, ‘Hey guys, let’s take a week off and come back with cooler heads.’ He called me an hour later and said I was out of the band! Great management! What he didn’t say was, instead of me going racing I put out a top 10 single with ‘You’re Invited’ — oops he forgot! Then an album called ‘Exposed’ — oops, forgot again! No wonder he was fired shortly after.”

Here’s what Sixx had to say:

“Breaking the band was not authorized by Mötley Crüe. Our lawyers sent them a cease-and-desist and further action will be taken.@ReelzChannel Is the bottom of the barrel.”

“Should @ReelzChannel be liable for putting out shows without so many artist approval? I am very disappointed that they think they can tell our LIFE story just to sell advertising ( mostly incorrect ) and without any bodies persmission.”

Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe) Reportedly Refuses To Pay His Attorneys Nearly $190,000

Posted by caemanamelio on

According to The Blast, Howard & Howard Attorneys, PLLC, the lawyers representing Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe) in his assault lawsuit, have filed court documents claiming the frontman has refused to pay them $187,364.01. The attorneys are still working on the case for now, but they did ask the judge to hit Neil with a lien. For those unaware, the case involves a 2016 lawsuit that was filed by Kelly Guerrero, who said Neil attacked her while outside the Aria hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The woman claims she was asking the singer for an autograph when he decided to grab her by the hair and drag her down. Actor Nicolas Cage was present at the time and tried to calm Neil down. The suit says the assault resulted in “substantial medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.” Guerrero was seeking $75,000 in compensatory damages and $75,000 in punitive damages and legal fees. Neil denies the allegations and is trying to get the case thrown out.
