Average attention span of Italian GNR fans? 13 Years.

"Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-no album!"







Italian GNR fan site, www.gnronline.it, is shutting down in protest of Chinese Democracy not being released on March 6th as previously promised by Axl Rose, citing a "lack of respect, clearness, and mutual loyalty."

However, teaching Axl such a hard, albeit well deserved lesson comes with a steep price. The "community of 3500 users who have been maintaining daily relationships and friendship through this website for many years" will now have to seek refuge on the hundreds of other GNR fan sites on the web.


But more interestingly, are these guys all just hanging out pissing on a wall or what?

Menudo: Parte Dos: Mas Tripa, Menos Musica

You know what's funny about Menudo (aside from the spandex, headwraps and Ricky Martin's red pants)...it's really a weird band name.

I'm sorry. I can get down with Maná or whatever...but Menudo? It's a soup with parts of cow or pig that most people normally don't like to eat (except my dad...and this guy).

Who started that discussion y'know?*
I can see it now...cue dream sequence...

Drunk underaged teenage guy: Oye hermanos, tengo un idea gran por un nombre de banda...
MENUDO. Entiende? Es como sopa pero...es sexy tambien.

No, it's not sexy. Not sexy at all.
Anyhow, long story short, MTV thinks it is and is launching a search for the next Menudo. I like the part that says that participants have to be 15 and "appear to be less than 19." I'm sure that'll get interesting.

*Ok, actually one of the dude's sisters did but I like my version better: "At the group's second rehearsal Díaz's sister entered the driveway of the house the group was rehearsing at, and puzzled by finding five young boys dancing and singing in the garage, she loudly exclaimed: '¡Qué mucho menudo hay aqui!' ('What a lot of young folk we have here!'); the phrase stuck, and the group was thus named Menudo."

**My friend Jimmy adds that if you combine the stories then you could get something like "Young boy soup." Well, well, Ricky Martin...
