Van Halen fans have been waiting since 1996 for the original Van Halen to go back in the studio and throw down down new tracks. Well, keep waiting. Due to some petty dispute that Eddie has with Michael Anthony, we may never hear from the original Van Halen again
With the various members involved in God knows how many projects - not to mention writing, demoing, and recording new material for the next Tool album - how Maynard and his gang of merry men found time to do a month log winter tour is beyond me. But, I'm glad they did, for selfish reasons...
Blockbuster tour alert! Well, if all those rumors about Motley Crue breaking up after their Las Vegas residency were getting you down, here’s a new rumor to cheer you up! The rock site BraveWords has it on good authority that Motley Crue and KISS are gearing up to join forces for a mega fall 2012 tour run.
Can you believe it has been 20 years since Metallica released the Black Album? I still remember the day I heard "Enter Sandman" and then the video added to the excitement.
And I thought this band couldn't top ...And Justice For All, but they did.
What is great is they made an album that withstood
With Jane’s Addiction changing the release date for ‘The Great Escape Artist’ more than once, it’s understandable if some of the band’s fans had serious doubts that the album would ever see the light of day.
But two of its songs, ‘End to the Ties’ and ‘Irresistible Force,’ have been circulating for weeks, and the latest evidence that the album really does exist is the recently released cover art.
The drummer slot in Black Label Society has seen a lot of turnover in recent years. Former drummer Will Hunt left in early 2011 to resume his role in Evanescence.
This fall, the band is touring with Judas Priest. The man in charge of, as Black Label frontman Zakk Wylde puts it, “holding down the foundation of the black cathedral” will be former Breaking Benjamin drummer Chad Szeliga.
Faithful maggots who have been pining away for new Slipknot since the release of ‘All Hope Is Gone’ way back in 2008 are going to have to keep waiting for awhile, because the band has no plans to record.
But fans in the US can take heart knowing that there’s an American tour on the horizon for next year, according to drummer Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan.
With new music to preview and two relatively new members in the band, the Smashing Pumpkins are scheduled to begin a 12-date U.S. tour in Los Angeles on Oct. 5.
The dozen concert dates are being described as a warmup to a big year of touring in 2012, which is when the Pumpkins will release their in-progress studio album, ‘Oceania.’
As I'm sure aware by now, Seattle's purveyors of Sonic Destruction are back - with a few reunion shows last year, a new album in the works (due out in 2012), and a new tour that kicked off Saturday night in Toronto (Soundgarden headlines the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans on Halloween weekend).
The Foo Fighters are touring in Europe at the moment, and Saturday night the tour stopped at the Milton Keynes Bowl in the U.K.
If you enjoyed these guys when they were here last...Royal Bliss is scheduled to return to The Warehouse
