Velvet Revolver 2008 Tour Dates

Velvet Revolver have mapped out some tour dates for 2008 after wrapping up some end of year shows on the east coast.
The supergroup consisting of former STP frontman Scott Weiland and former Guns ‘N’ Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum will hit the road on January with some dates in the U.S. before heading over to Australia and Europe.

‘In Rainbows’ Enters Charts and more…

According the NME, Radiohead will snag the number one chart position for album sales in the UK.
The physical release of In Rainbows has sold around 50,000 copies in it’s first week of sales in the UK since it’s release on December 31.

Leave it to Green Day to take this commonly used phrase (and let’s not forget true) and turn it into a kick ass song.
“Nice Guys Finish Last” was the first track off of 1997’s Nimrod, which happened to be the band’s fifth studio album. The track also appeared on Green Day’s 2001 greatest hits compilation International Superhits! and was also used in the James Van Der Beek classic Varsity Blues.
The song was already cool, but make a hysterical video that parody’s football, well then you’ve got gold baby!
