Ex-P.O.D. Guitarist Battling Over Royalties
Former P.O.D. guitarist Marcos Curiel has told MTV.com that he is currently involved in a legal dispute with his former bandmates over songwriting royalties.
"[They're saying,] 'These songs don't belong to you anymore, they belong to P.O.D.,' " Curiel said. "I'm like, 'No, dude, I wrote those songs.' And you can tell by their sound — it's not the same anymore."
When Marcos Curiel formed his new band, The Accident Experiment, it was meant to be a P.O.D. side project. Two years and one ugly breakup later, the band could more accurately be described as the antithesis of P.O.D.
"I had some great times in [P.O.D.], but the thing that really irked me was that every day we would talk about, 'Yeah, we're real. We're positive,' " said the guitarist. "But if every song is positive, that's not real. 'Cause no one in life walks around with a smile on their face nonstop. There's ups and downs, and I just wanted to be, 'Let's write about the moment.' "

Nu/Faux Metal Bands Rocked By Slump
Jim Farber of the New York Daily News is profiling how the hard rock sales for the past few months have been dampened while faux-grunge group Nickelback, '70s-style acts, Jet and The Darkness, and arty act Incubus have enjoyed success. Farber cites P.O.D., who saw their last release, 'Satellite,' move 2.7 million copies in 2002 while its latest 'Payable on Death' CD has fallen to No. 186 on the Billboard charts after just 13 weeks, selling just over 400,000 copies. Meanwhile, Limp Bizkit's 'Results May Vary', is lumbering in the low 80s on the chart after 20 weeks, selling only as many as first week sales of their previous effort, 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water', moved in its first week. Korn's dropoff also is cited.
The article title "Metal bands rocked by slump" surely is incorrect as these bands hardly qualify as metal, with Korn being the closest of them, and their sales probably hurt by the lackluster Untouchables anyway.
