Is Even Banksy Pissed?

Supposedly Banksy has joined in the protest of Jay-Z headlining the Glastonbury Festival. For the first time in 15 years Glasto hasn't sold out. In fact, over 3,000 tickets remain unsold!

The supposed Banksy piece spraypainted outside is Jay-Z's body with Glasto organizer Michael Eavis's head attached. Banksy is said to be a long time supporter of the legendary rock festival.

For what it's worth, Eavis is blaming poor weather at past festivals for the lack of sales: "There's a lot at stake. We really do need a good year this year, that's for sure. There were about 3,000 left this morning. But they are going out slowly. We did about 800 yesterday so we'll just about scrape home without losing my shirt."

Move Over David

You know you want one of these of yourself. It's art, bitches! For his huge show at London's Albert Hall, Pete Doherty is designing a marble sculpture of himself getting crucifified like Jesus. Only it's a little different this time. Pete will be surrounded by newspapers, signifying his crucifacation by the press. That damn press.

The artist is a friend of Pete and he's speaking on his inspiration: "I was quite pally with Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates and their love affair - like Pete and Kate's - went a bit sour. The negative press put a downward spiral on them."

So it's all romance! It's just a really really good way of saying, it wasn't my fault, baby! Way better then chocolate.

"Get Off The Bus Axl"

Fans had to wait over an hour without beer, for Stone Temple Pilots to take the stage this weekend at the Return of Rock show in New Jersey. I say who cares - it's more time at the rock show. But they stopped selling all the beer and drinks, so that would really suck. Anyways when the band finally came on stage Scott Weiland mumbled through THIS tragic apology.

So why'd the band take so long to get on stage????

Scott wouldn't get out of his trailer. And the rest of the band was screaming at some hot chick! Opie & Anthony witnessed what down backstage. Listen up HERE.

Holy F*ck Holy F*ck Holy F*ck

Where were you on May 8th???? If you weren't at The Roxy then whatever you were doing sucked. Yeah I wasn't there either.

Camp Freddy, the cover band made of Dave Navarro, Matt Sorum and some ex-Cult and Jane's Addiction members, had just a few guests on stage with them. Let's see: Slash and Duff of Guns n' Roses, Motley Crue's Tommy Lee, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Sex Pistols' Steve Jones and Paul Cook, Jerry Cantrell of Alice n' Chains, and Mark Mcgrath who MC'd the show and hopped up to sing a few.

Straight up crazy!

YOU MUST WATCH THESE VIDEOS:

Last Wishing To Be At Coachella Post Of The Year

Yesterday I was walking around my rooftop porch explaining to the people hanging: do you know how wasted it is at Coachella right now? Hot, and fun! Uh yeah frigging fun! Looking at Sienna Miller on that Sunday afternoon doesn't help. I almost started crying looking at these pictures. Waa! For the love of beer consuming on grass, waaaaa!

It's cool though. It's done for this year. There are many more festivals. (BFD in SF, buy quick! We're there, if going email.) But next year it's on. Coachella or death by pissed offness.

Stop! Wacking! Off!

To many Irish kids are wacking off! The sperm for concert tickets initiative is an amazing success. In fact, so many Irish guys are throwing jizz that nobody wants it anymore. Keep it away!

The Sperm for Tickets program was designed to offer 'free tickets to any music festival in Europe under the new initiative... to increase Ireland’s sperm reserves.

Bad idea. Don't collect festival goer sperm! It's like the worst sperm in Ireland. 'Here's my cup now gimme my Babyshambles ticket!' Yeah the babies will have great taste but they'll probably be retarded. This is where I'm all for profiling. Free ballet tickets!

Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin In London!

The Brit's got the Led OUT! The song remains the same! Kind of. Led Zeppelin played O2 Arena tonight. They looked like geezers, and the crowd looked like they came for free wine tasting, but whatever. Dancin' Days Are Here Again! Ok enough song title sentences.
