Blink-182, Limp Bizkit and Weezer are just some of the rock bands now listed among the hundreds more artists who lost master recordings in the 2008 Universal fire, a June 25 report from The New York Times described. Earlier this month, it was revealed that rockers such as Soundgarden, Hole and others were suing Universal Music Group over the fire that destroyed approximately 500,000 recordings in June 2008.

This week, the extended scope of the disaster was further exposed, with dozens of rock artists' tapes reported as destroyed in the UMG fire in a list that counts over a hundred more additions since the original article on the fire was published. See it at the bottom of this post.

Of interest to rock and metal fans, listed in the documents are Audioslave, Boston, Eric Clapton, Extreme, Peter Frampton, Gin Blossoms, Jawbreaker, Jimmy Eat World, Liefhouse, Limp Bizkit, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meat Loaf, Nazareth, Night Ranger, No Doubt, Ric Ocasek, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Primus, Puddle of Mudd, R.E.M., Semisonic, Smash Mouth, Spinal Tap, Steely Dan, Steppenwolf, Styx, Temple of the Dog, Three Dog Night, Veruca Salt, the Wallflowers, Whitesnake, White Zombie, the Who, Neil Young and Rob Zombie, among many others.

In the Times' original exposé on the fire, rock acts such as Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Aerosmith, Iggy Pop, Sonic Youth and more were first divulged as those artists who had materials destroyed.
