Metallica Honored To Replace Green Day
(hennemusic) Metallica have stepped in to replace Green Day at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience on Saturday, October 27, the second of the three-day event at New Orleans City Park.

Green Day recently ceased all live and promotional appearances in support of their newly-released album "‘Uno!" following a recent onstage meltdown by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in Las Vegas, which resulted in the singer currently seeking treatment for substance abuse.

"We got a message about two days ago asking us if we're able to fill in for Green Day, because Billie Joe was having some issues," guitarist Kirk Hammett tells Fuse TV. "We discussed it between the four of us and we all said, 'Yeah, it would be great thing for us to do and it would also be great to help out Billie Joe, 'cause he's a friend of ours and we love Green Day. If we can help them out in any way possible, we're always happy to do it, 'cause we love those guys. It's actually an honor for us that they approached us and asked if we can fill in. So we're doing it, and I'm really excited about it." more on this story

In the final matchup, which took place early this week, Van Halen faced off against an unlikely opponent in Queen's Brian May, pulling a hefty 62.48 percent of the votes to claim a decisive win over the upset-happy May, who beat Jeff Beck, George Harrison, Les Paul, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix on his way to the finals. more on this story

Queensryche Tried To Recruit New Singer Over A Year Ago?
(Classic Rock) Former Queensryche singer Geoff Tate claims Todd La Torre was not his former band's first choice to replace him.

In court papers the sacked singer says touring musician Jason Saunders was approached by his former colleagues over a year ago – and when he refused to take Tate's job, he found himself dismissed.

In the latest round of legal battles over the Queensryche name, Tate also says bassist Eddie Jackson physically attacked him years before his violent episode in Brazil, which is thought to have led to his departure. more on this story

Unreleased Dio Material Exists
Classic Rock Revisited caught up with former AC/DC and Dio drummer Simon Wright to discuss last week's release of The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2. During the interview we discover that unreleased Dio material does exist but it comes with a big caveat. Here is that portion of the exchange:

Simon: "Electra" was the last track that we recorded with Ronnie and it was going to be on Magica II and III. I think the plan was that we were going to re-record it. It is on The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2.

There were three, or four, songs that he had been working on for Magica II and III. They were just demos, unfortunately. Wendy is in charge of all that and I am not sure what will happen. At some point, maybe, they will come out. We will have to see what Wendy wants us to do with them.

CRR: It would be tough to do without Ronnie there and only having his voice on tape. Simon: You would have to be careful on how you approached it. You would not want to overstep your bounds. We would have to sit and listen to them and see how far he got with them. We would do it with totally respect and we would have to do it delicately. We will see what happens. It is up to Wendy, as she in charge of that side of things, but we will wait and see. Read the full interview here.

Alice Cooper Launches New Audio Blog
(hennemusic) Alice Cooper has launched a new weekly audio blog entitled "Me, Alice" via the web site of his radio show, "Nights With Alice Cooper."

"I think a blog is supposed to be written," begins Alice, "but I'm a terrible typist, so I figured I'd just spout off at you, instead. I am a techo-tard. You get a lot more me on Nights With Alice Cooper but, as I say, there's always room for more…so thought I'd ramble on about what's going on in my life and head this week."

In his debut episode, Cooper goes on to share the story of how he came to play at the recent Sunflower Jam in London, plugging his Universal Studios Halloween projects, and the launch of his Rock Teen Center in Phoenix. Listen to the first episode here.

Death's Spiritual Healing Set For Deluxe Reissue
Relapse Records will continue their Death reissue campaign with the November 20th North American release of Spiritual Healing. They sent out these details:

Originally released in 1990, Spiritual Healing marked a new turn in the Death discography, one which ushered in cleaner production, a new level of boundary pushing musicianship and songwriting skills that were previously unimaginable from a metal band. Spiritual Healing sets the standard for riffs, insane time changes and of course mainman Chuck Schuldiner's masterful guitar solos.

Now reissued as a double CD housed in super deluxe packaging featuring brand new liner notes from Death players James Murphy and Terry Butler, Chuck's sister Beth Schuldiner and Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen, Disc 1 features a completely new remaster of the original album and Disc 2 contains 16 previously unreleased rehearsal, outtakes and studio instrumentals. more on this story

Intronaut Recording New Album
Intronaut are currently working on their fourth full length album, which is tentatively set to be released next spring, and Century Media sent out an update and rehearsal video:

Drums will be recorded by producer John Haddad [Exhumed, Phobia] at Trench Studios, while Derek Donley [Bereft] will be handling recording duties for all other elements. Andrew Schneider [Unsane, Cave In] will be mixing the album and David D'Andrea will be working with the band again on artwork and layout.

Vocalist and guitarist Sacha Dunable comments: "After a year of intense, full-time writing mode, we are elated to begin recording our fourth full length this week. It's a little early to have perspective on how it compares to our past records, but it should be a banger. Expect a wildly technical, emotionally charged, organic sounding record."

Intronaut recently posted a video of a rehearsal, where they're practicing a new song here.

B Sides


Singled Out: Bezoar
Today Sara Villard from Bezoar tells us about the song "Nikola" from their latest album "Wyt Deth". Here is the story:

This song came into being after Tyler [Villard, guitar] had been reading a bunch of conspiracy theory books, most notable Behold A Pale Horse by William Cooper and a few others about Nikola Tesla.

We had let go of our previous drummer and had some down time to write new material. This spooky song was the best of that period. We used to play it electric with a long psych-jam at the end but that version never blew us away. more on this story

Kenny Chesney, Jerry Cantrell, Matt Sorum Rock Sammy Hagar's Birthday Bash
(hennemusic) Sammy Hagar turned 65 last week and celebrated with his annual series of birthday shows in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and video from the bash is now online.

"Man, this is hand's down the best birthday bash yet!" wrote Hagar. "Hangin' at the beach with my family and friends, then my buddy [chef] Emeril [Legasse] cooked us an amazing dinner and we all headed to the Cabo Wabo where Kenny Chesney brought the whole band down and tore it up for 3 hours! The fans were so off the hook I just had to hit the stage and jam on a couple songs with Kenny -- and we even got Emeril on stage with us to sing back up on "I Can't Drive 55".

"I'm 65 today and RIGHT NOW - it doesn't get much better than this! Gettin' old ain't so bad but growin up's a bitch - ha!" Watch videos here.
