Drummer Problems... 
From chartattack:
Morrissey has cancelled his Saturday night headline slot at this year's Isle Of Wight festival, after the star's drummer deserted him to go on tour with Good Charlotte...
According to the singer’s official website, Morrissey will not be appearing as planned on June 11 due to “the pressure of preparing the new album” - always made worse when your drummer walks out to follow a shabby band on tour.
Their statement read: “Morrissey will regrettably not be appearing at the Isle Of Wight Festival on the 11th of June as scheduled. The pressure of preparing the new album and losing his drummer earlier this month has made it impossible to do the gig without massively compromising both the gig and the album. Apologies to all the fans, the organisers and the people of the Isle Of Wight.”
It’s currently unknown who will fill the Saturday headline slot. Roxy Music are scheduled to appear second on the bill as 'special guests' and Razorlight and Faithless are scheduled to joint headline on the Friday night, so it's possible one of those could move over.
The Isle Of Wight Festival 2005 takes place between 10-12 June at Seaclose Park, Newport.
>>> Joel is the NY Daily..
anyone in NY read the Daily News today, they have a section with an article on Joel. Here I typed it up, it's basically the same thing he says in other interviews. Here it is:
Their critics call them copycats. Their fans call them cool. Joel Madden just shrugs his shoulders. To him, pop-rock band, Good Charlotte is about playing kick ass music- even if it offends parents. "We don't mean to," he explains, "but hey thats their f------ problem." And its not much of a problem anyway, because younger fans are listening, buying Good Charlotte Cds and going to concerts.
His love-life must also be frustrating to parents. You see, Madden has managed to score a relationship with squeaky-clean Disney teen queen Hilary Duff - she loves Good Charlotte, too - though he prefers to talk about the band's musical chops.
"Yeah that would be me," the 26-year old Madden admits when asked which of the Madden boys is dating the 17 year-old actress/pop star. "She's great, but I think it's unfair to discuss our relationship. That is something we prefer to keep private."
Madden does reveal that Duff listened to the group's latest CD and "she's cool with it." She has even allowed some of Good Charlotte's anti-establishment image rub off on her- lately she has punked up her look, dressing in torn jeans and painting the name "Joel" on her toenails.
But like Duff and her evolving personal style, Good Charlotte represents teens everywhere, who are often misunderstood. "People in our society are f----- up. They look ate our tatoos and right away think trouble. I was sitting in a plane in L.A. and somebody looked me up and down, then slid over."
The band hopes that their strong sense of independance has had an influence on their fans. "We want to think for ourselves," Madden continues. " That means sometimes you gotta take chances. We're not saying you should jump out a window or anything, just be yourselves. Do something because you want to, not because others want you to do it."
And like most hard rock bands with huge teen followings, they get blamed for unfortunate incidents. "Parents are saying we're poisoning their kids," says Madden. "One woman yelled at me the other day for encouraging her kid to run away from home. I told her, maybe you should have gotten to know you kid better."
Madden was not what you call a model teen himself. When asked about his academic background, he admits that he wanted to drop out. "I hated school and everything about it." But out of respect for his mother, he decided to persevere. "I had promised my mom I would graduate. She begged me to stay in high school, so I did it for her."
There are few things that derail Madden when he's on a roll, but he has stopped cold when asked why Good Charlotte was playing Atlantic City's Borgata this Friday. "We're playing a casino?" asks Madden. "Serious?" "When you're on tour, sometimes you have no idea where you're playing. Its all cool."
Now that he knows where he is going, Madden is considering a soin on the tables. "I actually prefer rolling dice on the streets of Baltimore, where I'm from," he says. "I can't let it go of it, man. Even now when I go home. I'll shoot dice with my homeboys."
Madden explains his loyalty to Maryland, "when we started out, me and my brother, Benji got a lot of love from ordinary people who are out there doing it, working. We still have a lot of friends there. they love our band," he says. "Just because we are doing okay now doesn't mean I forget them."
Madden and his twin brother formed Good Charlotte nine years ago after being inspired by a Beastie Boys concert. They hit it big in 2002 with the release of "The Young and the Hopeless"
The critics, however, weren't kind. Many accused the Madden if being "Blink-182" or "Third Eye Blind wanna-bes.
That doesnt seem to faze Joel Madden. "I'm a fan of both. If they want to compare us to them, that's cool."
oo jackie.
