Quick Hits: Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, Audioslave, Sum 41, Green Day, Oasis/Jet, Taking Back Sunday, Switchfoot
March 14, 2005

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame will enshrine this year's class tonight at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. The inductees include U2, The Pretenders, Buddy Guy, Percy Sledge, The O'Jays, Sire Records co-founder Seymour Stein and booking agent Frank Barsalona. The event will air on VH1 this Saturday night at 9 p.m. EST.


Audioslave

Audioslave has greatly expanded their European tour. Twenty-five dates are currently scheduled, starting at the Superrock Festival in Lisbon, Portugal on May 29 and continuing until the Oxygen Festival in Ireland on July 10. The Rock supergroup will play mostly festival dates, but also a handful of their own headlining gigs. The band is expected to announce a U.S. spring tour later this week. Audioslave's still-untitled sophomore album will be released in May.

Sum 41 is still plotting a mash-up album with Ludacris, a la Linkin Park and Jay-Z's hit Collision Course. Drummer Steve Jocz told MTV.com that the project is in the discussion stage between the artists' management. Sum 41 backed up Ludacris on Saturday Night Live last year. The band is about to embark on their Go Chuck Yourself tour with Unwritten Law, then join up with Mötley Crüe for this summer's massive Carnival Of Sin tour.

Though we knew Green Day's American Idiot is a powerful album, no one knew just how powerful it can be. A report from the BBC says that 9-year-old Welsh fan Corey George had been in a coma for two weeks, but when his family played the band's latest record for him, he awoke nearly an hour later. Green Day sent the boy a care package after hearing his story.

Oasis and Jet have added another date to their brief North American tour. The trek will hit the West Coast on September 12 with a date at the famed Hollywood Bowl. The rest of the tour's dates are slated for June and primarily in the eastern half of North America.

In addition to their co-headlining tour with Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday will play three headlining dates of their own in April. The co-headlining trek has also added a handful of new dates in May for Nevada and Utah.

San Diego natives Switchfoot will hold an all-day surfing event/concert on Saturday, May 14 to raise money for their hometown's Care House, which aids homeless teens and young mothers. The "Bro-Am" will combine a surfing competition with an evening headlining gig from the band.
