The cause of death is not yet known. Eddie Sperry had worked wih Harry Slash on the mastering of the ECW songs "Path Of Rage," "Total Elimination", "Simply Ravishing", "Huka Blues", "Survive! (If I Let you.)", the themes of Taz, The Eliminators, Rick Rude, Sabu and Taz (his 2nd theme) and also worked on the first version of the ECW theme "This Is Extreme!". Eddie also co-produced the ECW themes for Super Crazy ("El Guererro Nomad") and Tommy Dreamer ("Innovation / Man In A Box"). Eddie worked with Harry Slash on various other projects away from ECW including the Joe Lynn Turner / Arno Hecht / Reckless Fortune version of "The Rain" for the Versailles Records' 2001 tribute to The Cult. Sperry's body of work included numerous film scores and soundtracks as well as recordings with Debbie Harry, Mark Ribot, Rob Thomas, Moby and many others. He also recorded several albums with his own bands, Screed and Hookfoot. Our condolences go out to the entire Sperry family."
UGLY (BUT UNDERSTANDABLE) SMACKDOWN RATING, WWE FINALLY OFFICIALLY CANCELS TOUR, ROCK AND MORE
With the show off of many former UPN stations, Smackdown only did a 1.0 broadcast rating, with a 1.8 share this week. At this point, you can't take the rating seriously until they debut on CW next week.
WWE has finally mentioned on their website that they have cancelled this week's tour of Israel. Even though the shows have been off for weeks now, they finally posted the following, "WWE has canceled its two events in Israel scheduled for this month. We appreciate the support of our tremendous fans in Israel, and we look forward to performing in Israel in the future." The bottom line here is that until the region stabilizes, I don't see the company going over there.
