It seems like Rick Derringer has been on the stone & roll vista forever -- actually, it's only when been since 1965, which makes him one of the more enduring veterans of his genesis. Derringer's work with his band the McCoys in his midteens, highlighted by the bubblegum anthem "Hang On Sloopy," gave him a claim to low-level rock & roll immortality, and his subsequent playacting with Johnny (and later Edgar) Winter provided him with a grade of credibility that a muckle of guitar players crapper only when envy, particularly after the release of the Edgar Winter live double album Roadwork.
Derringer began getting production feel with the McCoys, but they were ne'er able to get the best their bubblegum rock'n'roll image, and by the end of the sixties, Derringer and his brother Randy were recruited by Johnny Winter into his band, with Derringer playing guitar and besides producing. He emerged as a solo creative person in the heat of his playacting with Edgar Winter's White Trash. Derringer number one became popular in his have proper during the early/mid-'70s, root with a new version of his have "Rock & Roll, Hoochie Koo" (which Johnny Winter had covered for him a few days in the beginning) sour Derringer's grievous metal-influenced debut album, All American Boy. Derringer shortly had his own band, called Derringer, on the road -- although his guitar player and bassist, Danny Johnson and Kenny Aaronson, left hand in 1977 to form Axis -- and within a duet of days had established himself as a popular deary. Derringer's recorded history was middling uneven, however, as his track record gross revenue never matched his favor with concert audiences -- a huge spread too existed between releases, which didn't bother him; even in the former '90s, Derringer played close to 200 shows a class. He worn-out about of the later '70s and eighties, nonetheless, as a producer, working with artists as diverse as Bette Midler, Kiss, Meat Loaf, Cyndi Lauper, Barbra Streisand, and Weird Al Yankovic.
Derringer is known for his hard-rocking live shows, which don't necessarily translate well to recordings, or bestow themselves to a great deal originality. As he neared eld 50 in the nineties, however, he had mellow, and this showed when he began recording once more for Shrapnel Records in 1993 with the albums Back to the Blues and Electra Blues. Years of fairish to median rock and roll and adult modern-day albums followed, simply in 2002 Derringer did an policy change and tested his work force at jazz with the adventuresome Release Ride.

Motley Crue - Motley Crue Seeking New Film Backers
Rockers MOTLEY CRUE are looking for a new company to produce a film based on their best-selling autobiography DIRT - after the band severed ties with music channel MTV following several delays to the project.
The band originally signed up with MTV Films and Paramount to make the movie, which will focus on the group's rise to fame and their life in the public eye.
But after a series of postponements, the band have now ditched the deal and are searching for another company to work with on the film.
Bassist Nikki Sixx tells Blabbermouth.net, "We're trying to get them (MTV) out of the way to make this movie that should have been made a long time ago.
"MTV has become bogged down in its own way. It's a channel that used to be hip and has now actually become unhip. We signed with them because we believed they were right, but they haven't come to the table. We need to find the right partner. They are not the right partner."

50 Cent - Ex Slaps 50 Cent With Restraining Order
Rap superstar 50 CENT has to stay away from the mother of his 11-year-old son after a temporary restraining order was granted by a judge on Friday (20Jun08).
Shaniqua Tompkins made the appeal, claiming she had been the recipient of numerous threats and was convinced they were made by the rapper's camp.
And now the rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - is not permitted to be on any premises at the same time as Tompkins, although no distance is specified.
Jackson has also been asked to forfeit any guns and other firearms in his possession and the order also states that any pick-up and drop-off of their son Marquise must be "at curbside".
According to website TMZ.com, Tompkins' lawyer Paul Catsandonis, says that his client will be fighting for a permanent restraining order against the rapper next month (Jul08).
Jackson and Tompkins have been locked in a bitter court battle for months, after he tried to evict them from the Long Island, New York mansion he owns.
The property went up in flames last month (May08) in what police have called a "highly suspicious" inferno and Tompkins later allegedly accused the rapper of being behind the blaze.
Jackson has since filed a defamation lawsuit against Tomkins .
