Honcho? Check. Matching hat? Check. Axl Rose hitting the stage three hours late in New York? Yeah, that sound about right…
Mickey Rourke was in the crowd when Axl Rose and Guns ‘N’ Roses finally hit the stage at 1:30 am, three hours later than expected. The show went down at The Rose Bar in the Gramercy Hotel in New York on Sunday. Adding to the drama is a report that former Skid Row vocalist turned Celebrity Fit Club contestant subdued a drunk who flashed a knife inside the show. According to a witness Bach said, ‘Nobody is getting anywhere near my man Axl Rose with a knife’, and went after him. Security quickly ejected the man from the show without incident.
Anyway, here’s set-list from the Valentine’s Day show:

Bloodbath, directed by Stephen Reedy. A companion short to Winter Stalker.
If you ask me, being subtly threatened with bloody mayhem is a great way to get someone to buy a t-shirt. If you’re in NY and happen to be covered in blood (it happens), get to the ZEROFRIENDS retail store at 437 East 9th. As of January 30th, Zerofriends will take over the Upper Playground space and assault you with an appalling array of amazing merch.
Now, back to the star of this post, Bloodbath! As with the Winter Stalker video there will be a contest. The winner of the Winter Stalker contest got a signed Alex Pardee print so in the case of Bloodbath, crime does pay. More details will be announced on February 4th.

Blondie, These Three Kings, 2009.
It’s almost like this video was just discovered in a punk-rock time capsule buried under the street at 53rd and 3rd. Rob Halford of Judas Priest also covered this Christmas-y tune on his 2009 Holiday record, Winter Songs.
You can download Blondie’s version of Kings for free via Bondie.net.
Thanks!: WOW.

Mickey Rourke and his 24 year old niece girlfriend buying a puppy at a Manhattan pet store yesterday. For Rusty and LP.
Now before you get all mushy looking at this photo of this nice old man buying a puppy for his niece, save it. Someone needs to get Ingrid E. Newkirk of PETA some Valium and a Snuggie because this is a photo of animal rights activist and puppy mill hater Mickey Rourke buying a puppy for his 24 year old Russian girlfriend at a Manhattan pet story yesterday. Sacrilege! Man, I know pussy will make you do all kinds of crazy things but, buying a puppy from a pet store after having a long history of canine advocacy is just too fucked up for words. Earlier this year,after posing for a PETA ad that encouraged dog owners to fix their pets, Rourke went out on his porch and shook his fist at people that purchase animals from pet stores:
I think if the public is more aware of fixing their animals, of not going to the puppy store – which I have been guilty of – they wouldn’t be putting so many dogs to death each week.
Although it pains me to type theses words, the power of “this is total bullshit!” compels me…
Rourke: FAIL!
I Slept With Joey Ramone. For LP.

The way they were. For LP.
Despite claims made by Steven “The Motherfucking Rainbow” Tyler during a Joe Perry Project show in New York, Joe Perry said last night at the AMA’s that he is moving forward with plans to keep Aerosmith going. With or without Steven Tyler. Yawn, I mean, said The Perry:
The band’s going to be working with or without Tyler. I’m working on it right now.
Mind you, this is coming from Perry as he walked the red carpet last night at the American Music Awards looking like this. Perry’s latest comments follow statements of concern for Tyler’s current state of sobriety made by Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer last week.
Despite his past struggles with substances, after looking at these photos of Tyler at a Parkinson’s Disease Benefit this past weekend in New York, I’m not quite ready to stage an intervention for The Motherfucking Rainbow. Yet, anyway. I would however like to stage an intervention for Joe Perry’s mouth. His lips have been on a bullshit bender since August.
I am the motherfucking RAINBOW! Steven Tyler joins The Joe Perry Project last night in New York and confirmed to the crowd that he is not leaving Aerosmith.
Last night, Steven Tyler crashed The Joe Perry Project show at The Filmore in New York and in about 20 seconds, dispelled the rumors of his departure from Aerosmith. Said Tyler (who will be know from this day forward as “The Motherfucking Rainbow”):
I just want New York to know, I am not leaving Aerosmith. Joe Perry, you are a man of many colors. But I, motherfucker, am the rainbow!
Translation: Steven Tyler is not leaving Aerosmith. Motherfucking Rainbow!
Thanks to Dlisted and the motherfucking rainbow that is Michael K. for the link.
Steven Tyler arrives at the Glamour Woman of the Year Awards in New York.
Last night, Joe Perry once again took to his Twatter to assure members of Aero Force One that Aerosmith was not breaking up. Sez The Perry:
Aerosmith is definitely NOT breaking up … one of the members is doing his own thing and said so in the press.
Unfortunately what this means (according to Perry) is that the band plans to continue playing as Aerosmith without Tyler at the helm.
Aerosmith is positively looking for a new singer to work with. You just can’t take 40 years of experience and throw it in the bin,” he wrote. “[The] band is playing hotter than ever and our songs need to be played live. Don’t despair: Aerosmith is not splitting up. Promise that’s the last you’ll hear from me on the subject ’till we gear up again.
Don’t despair? What kind of sacrilegious shit is this? Honestly, the only thing I’m really despairing is a band called Aerosmith with anyone but Steven Tyler on vocals. True story.
Public Enemy by Shepard Fairey. Fairey also designed the cover art for PE’s upcoming record.
Public Enemy has teamed up with Sell A Band and to help raise $250,000 to put out their new album. Here’s Chuck D himself on on why Public Enemy decided to let their fans help them make PE’s 13th record.
Anyone can get in on the action for only $25 bucks. Forever owning a piece of PE history? Priceless if you ask me…
10/23/09 Update: PE has just reached the $50,000 mark!
