Bros for life.
* While Guns N' Roses were playing a surprise set in New York City's Gramercy Park Hotel on Feb. 14 — Happy Valentine's Day, NYC — a switchblade-wielding maniac apparently approached GN'R, presumably with intent to stab. That's when Skid Row and Damnocracy frontman Sebastian Bach sprang into action, allegedly crying out, "Nobody is getting anywhere near my man Axl Rose with a knife!" and "going after" the attacker. No word on why the rawk fan went all "Youth Gone Wild," but it's pretty clear that Rose and Bach are knee-deep in bromance. No response to the incident from Guns N' Roses that I could find, but if Chinese Democracy is any indicator, we should get one in 13 months or so. * NME reports that EMI is looking to sell the legendary Abbey Road studios. It's unclear whether the studio brand or just the location itself is up for grabs, but either way, EMI is looking to fetch "tens of millions of pounds." So that's, like, a few hundred dollars, right? Only kidding. But you know who isn't kidding? Terra Firma, the private equity firm that purchased EMI back in '07. Terra Firma apparently used all sorts of state employee pension funds as capital for the purchase, and now they're suing Citigroup for being all, "Hey, tons of people want to buy EMI!" when really it was more like "Terra Firma wants to buy EMI and no one else." Too much finance talk? Understood. I say we all just pool our funds and buy the studio on behalf of Nashville. (HT: Maloney.)
