Brutal mosh pit

Over the weekend in Australia, a disable AC/DC fan was sent to the hospital. What happened is the quadriplegic fan was in a motorized wheelchair on the floor at the venue. Being quadriplegic, he had a long metal pin he used with his mouth to operate things on his chair. When his chair made it's way into the pit area of the floor, something broke bad and the the metal pin or rod became a dangerous weapon and ultimately impaled him … in his eye. Authorities have concluded that the fan's mate accidentally triggered the motorized chair to go towards the pit area. True story. All of this happened while AC/DC was on stage, rocking out to 45,000 dancing fans in their home country. The last report has the man in serious but stable condition and no word if he was able to keep his eye. Check out photos from AC/DC's shows in Brisbane.

Zombie plays few new songs

Typically, when a band hits the road after releasing a new album, it's standard practice to perform some (if not all) of the tunes from their most recent release. Well, not for Rob Zombie. Zombie is on the record saying he will only play about four songs from his most recent album in his upcoming tour with Alice Cooper. This is because, according to Zombie, fans expect to hear some of the older and more classic tunes. Zombie is even going as far as to say that the band will not perform 'The Man Who Never Laughs' and 'Burn' from the new album because he just doesn't “like that song that much.” Zombie toured last fall where he only played two cuts off his most recent album “Hellbilly Delux 2.” In the upcoming “Gruesome Twosome” tour with Alice Cooper, Zombie may play two others … but no more! When you check him out at the Mayhem Festival this summer, Zombie may be up to playing five songs from 'Hellbilly Delux 2.”
