Ryan Adams Tosses Barbs at The Killers, R.E.M.

Photo: Stawiarz/Getty Perhaps touring with Oasis has taught Ryan Adams a thing or two about starting a rock feud. In an interview with The Guardian, Adams responded to the question “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” with an assault on R.E.M. “I mean, seriously, who is Kenneth? The answer should be, ‘Hey Michael [Stipe], what would happen if you sat down and actually thought this shit out for 10 minutes?,’” Adams said. “I mean, no offense but there’s a slight difference between Monster and Fables Of The Reconstruction and we all know what that is; it’s a level of giving a fuck. $80m will do that to anyone who has a credit card and access to a Barney’s.” Perhaps Adams would be better served checking Wikipedia to find out whom Kenneth was. Next, Adams took aim at the Killers. “Fame is an unnatural construct and those who go in search of it are the least likely to find it. I mean, really, does anyone want to sit through a show by the Killers?” Adams says. No word whether Adams also misconstrues the Killers’ “Human” chorus lyrics as “dancer” or “denser.” Related Stories: • New Music Report: Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, Hank Williams III • Ryan Adams: “I Heard Sister and Thought, ‘I Have to Get a Guitar’” • Oasis & Ryan Adams Preview Upcoming Albums in Vancouver

"Arson Anthem" by Arson Anthem

Arson Anthem's debut EP sounds like a shotgun blast to the face. However, that's exactly how it should sound. It's dirty, violent, brutal and utterly cathartic, like the classic raw punk and hardcore records it draws influence from. However, Arson Anthem puts a spin on the old Agnostic Front formula, and they inject a healthy dose of extreme metal. The underground super group features Phil Anselmo [Pantera, Down] on guitar, Mike Williams [Eyehategod] on the mic and Hank Williams III on drums. The riffs on "Doomed Morale" and "Wrecked Like Clockwork" come faster than a barrage of prizefight punches, while Williams' vocals channel Satan himself during "Sri Lankan Medication." One track, "Cops Shoot Coke," says it all, with a grimy gutter riff and drum combination. If anything, it's too short at under 15, but it's a beating well worth taking. —Rick
