Judge Says Arrest of “Chinese Democracy” Leaker Was “Dramatic”
In his hearing this week, a judge questioned the necessity of arresting Guns N’ Roses leaker Kevin Cogill, calling it “too dramatic.” The man who posted nine songs from the previously unheard sessions for the forever-in-production Chinese Democracy was shown some leniency by the court as the presiding judge felt the proposed $50,000 bail was excessive and noted that a court summons would have been sufficient. Instead, as Cogill’s girlfriend Shana told Rolling Stone, “They put h

It's official: Mick Jagger's lips are a work of art

The Mock Cover [Advertising]
The spoof cover is an increasingly popular way to establish a character. Witness the fake issue of Wired flashed on the screen during a video tribute to Iron Man's arms manufacturer, Robert Downey's character, Tony Stark. HBO rival Showtime has borrowed the technique to advertise the new season of their tentpole show, the serial-killer drama Dexter, sacrificing a little authenticity for branding impact: Dexter's name is rendered in the style of the Wired and Rolling Stone logos, but replaces the magazines'

Rolling Stones to leave EMI for Universal
Sir Mick Jagger has supplemented his state pension by striking a £7.5 million deal that will take four decades of The Rolling Stones catalogue away from his long time record company EMI. His decision, revealed by Times Online, is the latest in a series of clashes between musicians and EMI’s new owner, Guy Hands, Britain’s best-known venture capitalist who was the best man at William Hague’s wedding.

THIS FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD!
By Edward CopelandWhen I first planned to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz, I'd hoped to integrate thoughts on Scorsese's recent Rolling Stones film, Shine a Light, but it slipped in and out of town before I got a chance to see it. It was probably for the best. When you've already made one of the greatest concert film/rock documentaries of all times, it would be pretty difficult to top. When I saw The Last Waltz for the first time, I was very fortunate: It was in a Manhat

‘Rock On’ with the September issue of ‘Rolling Stone’
This proves the credibility of Farhan Akhtar’s awaited ‘Rock On’ as a film truly devoted to rock music. [Film was released August 29, 2008.] The September issue of the smash hit music magazine ‘Rolling Stone’ has got the entire team of ‘Rock On’ on its cover. The same magazine has already featured music Maestro A.R. Rahman himself on the cover of its Indian edition. The film is one of its kind in the sense that it is the first Indian film made on rock music and revolves around a rock band.

Inside “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”: An Oral History
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was released 10 years ago this week and went on to sell more than 8 million copies, win five Grammys and earn a four-star review in Rolling Stone. Mary J. Blige hailed it as “one of the most incredible albums ever made” and the record influenced a generation of soul and hip-hop artists. Miseducation’s liner notes mostly credit Hill with producing, writing and arranging the entire album. It was, in fact, a huge group effort (as underlined by a lawsuit settle

Demi Lovato: Metalhead? Plus Dillinger Escape Plan, As I Lay Dying, DragonForce & More News That Rules, In Metal File
About a month ago, a colleague of mine stopped at my desk, handed me the latest issue of Rolling Stone and told me I had to read the feature Jason Gay had written on The Jonas Brothers. I thought he was kidding. See, I'm the resident metalhead around these parts, which means I have little (if any) interest in the Jonases. Halfway through reading the article, though, it became apparent why it was suggested I read it: Gay's piece claimed that Demi Lovato, the opener on The Jonas Brothers' summer tour, is into
