Kanye West Gets All Pissy With The Papparazzi

Kanye West Gets All Pissy With The Papparazzi Last week on his Glow In The Dark tour, Kanye West decided to visit a grotty nightclub in Newcastle after entertaining thousands of fans.
Did Kanye sip his lemonade without any problems whilst sitting in the corner of the VIP area? Don't be daft, something went tits up of course.
It seems that Kanye West has a recurring problems with people who like to take people's pictures. Granted they may get in the way and stop you from doing day-to-day activities such as getting some milk and waiting for a plane, but never mind. In the Tup Tup Palace nightclub - a place that doesn't exactly scream class - a member of the paparazzi elite got to close to Kanye and ended up getting his face busted up. Was it Kanye's fault? Of course not, and he's explained why in a (nother) big pissy blog rant.
Hecklergigs, Elbow @ Newcastle Carling Academy, 05/04

Hecklergigs, Elbow @ Newcastle Carling Academy, 05/04

Fact One: The Jackson 5 don’t blame it on sunshine, moonlight or bad times. They blame it on the boogie.

Fact two: The Carling Academy are bastards for charging nearly six quid for two shots of vodka.

Fact three: Elbow are the most underrated band in the UK.  

With four albums under their belt, Elbow took their latest offering, The Seldom Seen Kid, on the road to showcase a few of the brilliant tracks that are featured on it, alongside mixing in a few older hits.

While talking to a friend who worked at the bar, she uttered the words “I’ve been told there like one of those miserable Radiohead-style bands, so I knew you’d be here tonight.”

Hmm, great that our music tastes have been pinned down, but slightly wrong about Elbow being the soundtrack to a suicidal cult's last few hours on earth.

Meat Loaf Alarmingly Stressed Out By Newcastle

Meat Loaf Alarmingly Stressed Out By Newcastle

Meat Loaf has been through a lot in his time - injury, drug addiction, attempted suicide, crooked manager, lawsuits, disease, bankruptcy - but in the end it looks as if it's Newcastle that's done Meat Loaf in.

It's been reported that Meat Loaf has quit music forever, and this is something he apparently decided mid-show in Newcastle on Wednesday night. Mid-song, in fact - as the opening bars to Paradise By The Dashboard Light kicked in, Meat Loaf suddenly decided that he couldn't be bothered to sing for a living any more and trudged offstage. Sure, Meat Loaf's apparent breakdown might sound a little worrying, but if he really has quit music then maybe he can start to concentrate on acting again - and who doesn't want to see more films about man-titted Meat Loaf punching people in a cellar?
