If you were at the 92.7 QLZ 20th Birthday Bash a couple weeks ago and hadn't seen Shinedown in a while, you might have noticed lead singer Brent Smith has lost some weight. 70lbs of fat!
And how did he lose it... besides getting off the drugs and booze? INSANITY! Yeah, that's right, the INSANITY that has infomercials playing in between Girls Gone Wild DVD ads (do those still even play? I'm not a horny 13 year old anymore, looking for something to joe to.) Anyway, here is a testimonial vid Brent did for the DVD.
I actually watched the Somewhere In The Stratsophere DVD yesterday, and it's crazy to see how much weight the dude has lost. Brent looked like a fat Ozzy just 2 years ago. And, while Brent had a great voice in his fat days... anybody at the Birthday Bash could say the weight loss only made his singing and performance on stage better.
Stone Temple Pilots kicked Scott Weiland to the curb a while back for not being able to stay clean and sober. Well, the guys performed this past weekend at the KROQ Weenie Roast in LA with a familiar face on lead vocals.
Chester Bennington from Linkin Park.
Check out part of the performance.
What do you think? I think he did pretty good. I know he is not Scott Weiland and never will be Scott Weiland. But are bands who are known for a certain type of sound supposed to never perform again if the person who gives them that "unique (band) sound" croaks or gets booted out of the band? I say no.
Chester also laid down vocals on a new STP track called Out Of Time. Have a listen.
Now, the band has said that this isn't a permanent solution, telling KROQ "“Chester has a one-of-a-kind voice that we’ve admired for a long time. We know Linkin Park will always be his priority, but we thought it would be cool to try something together. We managed to find the time to record a song and we’re all really happy with the result.”
Papa Roach played Rock on the Range Saturday, then were in Michigan Sunday. Midway through the set, lead singer Jacoby Shaddix introduced the crowd to his 9 year old son Jagger. The younger Shaddix pumped up the crowd, with Papa Shaddix saying "this will be the first time we've done something like this..."
Then the duo kicked straight into Still Swingin'... Check it out!

YOU GOTTA GO, YOU GOTTA GO!
This story bugs me, in a strange way. I am both amazed and a little pissed that this three year old girl is smart, having an IQ apparently of 135 and being the youngest member of the egghead club MENSA. I am probably pissed because I am NOT smart, I pretend to be but fail miserably when questioned by those who actually are smarter than me. But as I think about it, I am more pissed that this girl is smart and while being questioned by the morning show hag, the little girl tells both her parents and the host that she has a stomach ache and then says that she has to unload a package, AND they keep going with the interview, laughing and chuckling that she is about to or is prairie dogging it on the set. I’m steaming because, in my opinion, this really just a way for the parents to say “LOOK AT OUR KID, SHE IS SMART! WE’RE AWESOME! YEAH, SHE HAS TO S**T BUT NOT BEFORE WE GET OUR 15 MINUTES OF FAME IN!”
And she is a cute little girl, take a quick break, let her go to the restroom and really, to be safe, just talk to the parents. Roll video of her doing her “smart stuff” and give the parents what they want, a little pat on the back that they have a child smarter than them. Giggle and throw it to the fat/skinny weather man giving you the national forecast that nobody cares about then throwing it to the local forecast then making stupid puns about the temperatures. Giggle.
