antiMusic reports: Drowning Pool's new CD
'Full Circle' hits stores this week and to celebrate we have asked frontman
Ryan McCombs to tell us a little bit about his favorite five songs from
the CD. Here is Ryan with his take on the track " Enemy".
Enemy is the most middle-finger-in-the-air
song on the record and is about walking away from a destructive situation
respectfully. The relationship in the song has one partner who tries to
do everything right while the other partner does the opposite. Even though
eventually the speaker feels nothing but spite and contempt for the abusive
partner, when leaving the relationship, he is still able to take the high-road.
I'm sure that my old-school friends and family understand exactly where
"Enemy" came from having seen some of the sad, sad BS of recent years.

antiMusic reports: Since they don't have anything
else going on at the moment it looks like the Van Halen brothers and David
Lee Roth figure they might as well jump into a reunion tour. The same tour
that was supposed to take place this summer looks to be happening this
fall.
We're heard this all before but "sources"
have told Billboard magazine that the Van Halen camp is planning a press
conference next week to announce the reunion tour which is said to be planned
to hit arenas beginning in early Roctober and will run for 50-dates. While
not a full blown reunion with Eddie's son Wolfgang handling bass duties
instead of Michael Anthony the tour will feature originals Eddie and Alex
Van Halen with Diamond David Lee Roth.- more

antiMusic reports: Rolling Stones guitarist
Keith Richards has admitted that he did in fact snort his father's ashes,
thus doing an about face from his previous denial of the deed. However,
he states that he didn't mix his fathers remains with cocaine.
"What I found out is that ingesting your
ancestors is a very respectable way of... y'know, he went down a treat,"
Richard reportedly says in a new magazine interview according to UK music
site Gigwise. The story caused controversy when it first broke with Richards
issuing a denial but he has now changed his tune and offered up a correction
to the widely reported claims that he mixed his fathers remains with cocaine
before having a toot.
"The cocaine bit was rubbish. I said I
chopped him up like cocaine, not with. I'd opened his box up and said,
'Jesus, I've got to do something with dad, y'know, plant the oak tree.'
I pulled the lid off and out comes a bit of dad on the dining room table.
I'm going, 'I can't use the brush and dustpan for this'. So you just gotta
like, put it together."

antiMusic reports: Tom Araya has told Worcester
magazine that the next Slayer album may be their last. In an interview
discussing the Slayer/Marilyn Manson coheadlining tour, the metal legend
also discussed what the future may hold for Slayer and Araya feels that
the end may be near.
"Well, there have been remarks made about
seeing an old man headbang. And I have to agree," Araya said in the interview.
"I think the Stones can do that, probably go out and do their stuff in
their 80s, but it just wouldn't look right [for us], you know what I mean?
"It's actually pretty strenuous. That's
why I don't see it going any further than a certain point in time. We have
one more record to do, which is our deal with [Rick] Rubin, and we'll have
to sit down and discuss the future. But I can't really see myself doing
this at a later age."- Read

antiMusic reports: Following the footsteps
of a cancelled U.S. tour, Michael Schenker has pulled the plug on his U.K.
run as well, according to a post on guitar legend's Myspace page.
Blabbermouth reports that "Schenker and
his band were scheduled to perform Friday night (August 3) in Stourbridge,
U.K. but ended up calling off the gig after only a handful of songs."
Schenker's Myspace page then carried this
announcement: "Due to various mitigating circumstances that have conspired
to derail the [U.K.] tour, it has been officially confirmed by a source
close to Michael Schenker Group that the remaining tour dates have definitely
been cancelled. In truth, it was impossible to carry on with the current
situation, a situation that has been caused by a multitude of events beyond
the bands control, including Michael's. The band and Michael would personally
like to express their gratitude for the patience and understanding shown
by the MSG faithful (fans) during this extremely difficult time and would
like to say 'Thank you' to ALL those who have expressed their continuing
love and support. Be assured, MSG hope to see you ALL on the road in the
future."

antiMusic reports: What happens when a U.S.
label didn't have the foresight to release an album which goes on to become
a hit in other countries? U.S. fans buy up import copies of said album.
Once the U.S. label finally catches on and releases the album domestically,
they really don't want fans to have the choice of buying the import version.
In fact, carrying such an import may land a retailer in court!
Universal Republic will finally get around
to releasing Amy Winehouse's 2003 debut on November 7th and according to
Rolling Stone the label "is bullying retailers into removing the import
version of the LP from their shelves." That's right, the label claims that
wholesalers and record stores are infringing upon their "exclusive right
to distribute [Winehouse's] recordings in the States" by providing import
version of the album to American consumers.
Last month the label sent cease-and-desist
letters to retailers and wholesalers threatening legal action if they do
not pull the import versions of the album off their shelves. -

antiMusic reports: Despite the politically
correct reasons of scheduling conflicts ruling out Slipknot's frontman
joining the ranks of Anthrax. Slipknot are working on a new album after
all, the singer let it slip that his label had a big part in nixing the
collaboration.
"Various people at the record company [Roadrunner]
put their foot down about that," Taylor told Metal Hammer Magazine. "So
the way we've left it is that I will do a couple of songs with them, and
not the whole album."
Metal Hammer responded, "That must have
been incredibly frustrating?" and Taylor responded, "Of course, I was so
stoked that the Anthrax guys would consider doing anything with me. So
the last thing I wanted to do was let them down."- more

antiMusic reports: Silverstein have announced
their fall headlining tour plans. Since it's no fun to tour alone and let's
face it since you need to give every reason to part with their hard earned
cash instead using it at the hookah bar, the band has asked From Autumn
to Ashes and Strike Anywhere to join them on the cross country trek.
As it looks at the moment the tour will
kick off in Rockford Illinoize on Rocktober 2nd, run all over the country
before wrapping a month later in Asbury Park, NJ on November 4th.-
