Rock Roundup 080106

Pink Floyd are rumored to be planning another short reunion. Sources close to the surviving members of the band say they are contemplating giving late frontman Syd Barrett a "huge send-off". No official word has come from the band yet.

Axl Rose became ill during a Guns N Roses show in London Sunday Night. Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach...who is opening some of the European GNR dates...came on to sing the last two numbers for him...Night Train and Paradise City.

If you can't make it to one of the Rolling Stones' European shows, you can just dial up one of them. For a buck-99 you can phone the Stones and listen to seven minutes of each Stones show, with the feed coming directly from the soundboard. The first phone show was Friday in Paris, and it will continue through the band's September 3rd show in Denmark. When you sign up at ListenLiveNow.com, you'll see a set list for the show -- although the one that was posted Friday was slightly different from what they played. When your time is up, you'll be given options to extend your session. The next show is Thursday in Stuttgard, Germany.

You can also call 877-784-2777 from the U-S and 760-438-0100 from Canada.
