TOPIC: Judas Priest Tour First Show Setlist
[Bazookajoe_666] Wednesday, June 08, 2011 3:21:09 PM 
 They played at least 1 song for every single album that Rob sings on. I have no problem with this because Jugulator and Demolition were terrible albums, aside from a couple of songs of course.

Also, relax.

This is the FIRST show of a huge 2 year world tour.

The band have all confirmed that they rehearsed and practice MANY songs, loads more than they usually do, and they ARE going to mix the setlist up a bit.

This setlist is not playing it safe.

How can performing super rare and never before played songs be safe? It's not.

 If you read the entire press conference coverage, Rob himself said that several tracks are completely done and ready to be released, and the new album will be released next year. They're also thinking of playing a new song or two on the tour coming up.

TOPIC: Farewell Priest
[Bazookajoe_666] Tuesday, December 07, 2010 4:24:27 PM 
Well I would assume its because Priest's music is a LOT harder to perform then literally every single song Motorhead, Saxon or Dio have written. Harder to perform = harder on the body. Rob and co aren't exactly young anymore and imagine they just want to finally not have to worry about touring and whatnot after this is over. They'd like to retire. Wouldn't you at 60 years old? Rob isn't going to stop though, that's for sure. I would not be surprised if he puts out another Halford album eventually.

[Bazookajoe_666] Tuesday, December 07, 2010 3:36:50 PM 
This comes as a complete surprise and shock for me. After so much talk of taking a break and then coming back in 2011 for a brand new album in the classic 80's vein of Screaming For Vengence and British Steel. And now this? A farewell tour? Very surprised by this. Even more so considering the live performance Priest has been putting on lately. I mean every single one of them are at their best musicianship wise. It's kind of impossible to get WORSE at you're instrument haha. Rob vocals have been phenomenal live these days. I'd actually say he's performing just as good if not better than on the 2001 Resurrection tour. Some of his screams are actually sounding just as good as the FIGHT days, 20 odd years ago... But I suppose its time eh? Rob's nearly 60 years old. Everyone else is either older or a bit younger. So I have to go see this tour, otherwise I'll never get to see them it's lookin' like. I just wish they'd do at least one more album before they finally call it a day. Not saying Nostradamus was a shitty album to end they're career on, its just not a PRIEST album ya know? Would have been nice to have that a "Priest Metal" album. Nontheless I am excited for this tour. They're gonna be playing a shit ton of classic songs by the sounds of it, so it should be a blast. They said they're gonna be playing songs that made Priest a household name in world of metal, so I'm expecting some 70's shit thrown in there. SINNNNNEEERR!!!!!

Hey man don't lose faith! Look at that song The Mower Rob created for the new Halford album. That is the most brutal song Rob's ever sang on, and features some of his most intense vocals, which were recorded IN 2010. And AOR and Nostradamus? They've both got some roaring fast and screaming tracks on there. Priest will always be able to deliver the goods, the band themselves said the next album they do could be a return to the classic Priest sound after touring with British Steel so much.

HALFORD's last album, "Halford III - Winter Songs", sold 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 26 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Halford III - Winter Songs" was Rob's first solo release in more than seven years, and it included a collection of new Halford-penned tracks plus traditional holiday favorites presented with original arrangements by HALFORD (Rob Halford on vocals, Roy Z. on guitar, Metal Mike Chlasciak on guitar, Mike Davis on bass and Bobby Jarzombek on drums).

Metal God Records and Rob Halford recently announced plans to release "Halford - Live In Anaheim Original 2CD Soundtrack", "Halford Crucible - Remixed & Remastered" and "Halford - Live In Anaheim" DVD, a 5.1, 23-song, two-plus-hour film documenting Rob Halford's 2002-2003 solo release ("Crucible") and tour.

Armed with metal's most diverse band of the decade, "Halford - Live In Anaheim" is an intimate, in-your-face, solo performance featuring HALFORD, FIGHT and JUDAS PRIEST classics: "Golgotha", "The Heretic", "Sun", "Into The Pit", "Light Comes Out Of Black", "Painkiller", "Rapid Fire", "Never Satisfied", and more. Also featured are bonus live tracks from HALFORD's Tokyo, Japan performances February 2003.

Immortal - First Time On DVD

Norwegian black metallers IMMORTAL will release a concert DVD, "The Seventh Date Of Blashyrkh", on August 6 via Nuclear Blast. The disc will include professionally filmed video footage of the band's headlining performance at the 2007 edition of the Wacken Open Air festival, which was held August 2-4, 2007 in Wacken, Germany.

A trailer for the DVD can be viewed below.

In a recent interview with About.com, IMMORTAL's Demonaz stated about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the follow-up to last year's "All Shall Fall", "We already have three songs for the next album. We'll be working on the album this year. And we have material for a lot of other songs, so maybe in August we'll be finished with half the album. But we haven't come so far that I can see the end of the album."

He continued, "I think we'll try to work with the songs and make them classic IMMORTAL songs.

"The next album will be different than 'All Shall Fall'. I think the songs will come off as one package.

"Every album is different for us, but we won't try too many new things. We'll stick to the plan and make the music we like.

"Don't expect something revolutionary. (laughs)"

"All Shall Fall" sold around 3,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 162 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at No. 7 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"All Shall Fall" entered the German chart at position No. 33 and Finnish chart at No. 20. In the band's home country, the CD landed at No. 23 in its opening week.

"All Shall Fall" was released in North America on October 6, 2009 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD, which was issued in Europe on September 25, 2009, was recorded at Grieghallen and Abyss studios in Norway and Sweden, respectively.

The "Blashyrkh Limited Edition Bag" version of "All Shall Fall" includes:

* Digipak version of "All Shall Fall"

Rust In Peace: Live DVD Announced



The final night of MEGADETH's historic month-long "Rust In Peace" 20th anniversary tour has been captured for the upcoming "Rust In Peace Live" Blu-ray, DVD and CD, due out September 7 on Shout! Factory.

On March 31, 2010, at this incredibly special show at the legendary Hollywood Palladium, not far from where Dave Mustaine formed the band in 1983, MEGADETH played their landmark, genre-defining 1990 "Rust In Peace" album in its entirety, in addition to other MEGADETH favorites. "Rust In Peace Live" also marks the return of original bassist David Ellefson (MEGADETH 1983-2002) to the iconic multi-platinum group after eight years. Ellefson (bass), joins Mustaine (lead vocals, guitar), Shawn Drover (drums) and Chris Broderick (guitar).

"Rust In Peace Live" features the entire "Rust In Peace" track listing, including all-time classics "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due" and "Hangar 18" along with bonus fan favorites from various other MEGADETH releases such as "Symphony For Destruction", "Peace Sells" and "Skin O' My Teeth".

MEGADETH founder/frontman/guitarist Dave Mustaine explains, "We are pumped to be able to share the 'RIP Live' concert with you all around the world. The anniversary and David Ellefson coming back was better than a facelift and a bottle of Viagra for old [MEGADETH mascot] Vic."

The 80-minute "Rust In Peace Live" DVD (5.1 Dolby Surround 16:9 Widescreen) and Blu-ray (5.1 DTS Master Audio 1080p High Definition) were directed by Kerry Asmussen (GREEN DAY, JAY-Z, Coachella). The DVD and Blu-ray will also include behind-the-scenes footage, including a rare glimpse of the band rehearsing in their dressing room as they prepare to take the stage.

"Rust In Peace" is considered one of the best metal albums of all time by fans and critics and debuted at #23 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart in the U.S. and #8 in the U.K. The album showcased a much tighter sound, with Mustaine's writing style adopting a rhythmically complex progressive edge, prompting All Music Guide to cite "Rust In Peace" as "MEGADETH's strongest musical effort." The album received Grammy nominations in 1990 and 1991 for "Best Metal Performance." Emphasizing the massive impact of "Rust In Peace" in the July 2010 issue of Guitar World, writer Richard Bienstock calls it "one of the pinnacles of the first wave of thrash metal." He continues, "A defining quality of MEGADETH's sound — and the one that perhaps most sets them apart from their 'Big Four' thrash brethren, METALLICA, SLAYER and ANTHRAX — has always been the band's fiery mix of speed-metal ferocity and progressive instrumental virtuosity… nowhere has this combination been displayed better than on 'Rust In Peace'."

The full track listing for the "Rust In Peace Live" CD, DVD and Blu-ray is as follows:

"Rust In Peace" Live:

01. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due
02. Hangar 18
03. Take No Prisoners
04. Five Magics
05. Poison Was The Cure
06. Lucretia
07. Tornado Of Souls
08. Dawn Patrol
09. Rust In Peace...Polaris

Bonus Content:

10. Skin O' My Teeth (Countdown To Extinction)
11. In My Darkest Hour (So Far, So Good…So What!)
12. She-Wolf (Cryptic Writings)
13. Trust (Cryptic Writings)
14. Symphony Of Destruction (Countdown To Extinction)
15. Peace Sells (Peace Sells…But Who's Buying?)
16. Holy Wars – Reprise (Rust In Peace)

Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, And Anthrax Perform "Am I Evil?" On Stage Together

View it here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AdzqU4I1MM&feature=player_embedded

Members of SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX joined METALLICA on stage earlier tonight (Tuesday, June 22) in Sofia, Bulgaria to perform the DIAMOND HEAD classic "Am I Evil?" METALLICA's James Hetfield, MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine and ANTHRAX's Joey Belladonna all took turns singing, with various other bandmembers playing guitar, bass and pounding on snare drums.

"After 29 years of doing this to reach this apex is just so fucking cool," tweeted ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian moments after the performance. "It was a monumental moment of epic proportions. I'm so high from the experience I can't sleep."

The last time Mustaine performed with METALLICA was on April 9, 1983 at the legendary Brooklyn, New York club L'Amour. He was unceremoniously fired by the band just weeks before they entered the studio to record their debut album, "Kill 'Em All", and was replaced by former EXODUS axeman Kirk Hammett.

***UPDATE: First photos and low-quality video footage of the performance can be viewed below.***

NOTE: All photos below courtesy of MetOnTour.com

METALLICA's setlist was as follows:

01. Creeping Death
02. For Whom The Bell Tolls
03. Fuel
04. Harvester Of Sorrow
05. Fade To Black
06. That Was Just Your Life
07. Cyanide
08. Sad But True
09. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
10. All Nightmare Long
11. One
12. Master Of Puppets
13. Blackened
14. Nothing Else Matters
15. Enter Sandman
- - - - - - - -
16. Am I Evil? (w/ Big Four)
17. Hit The Lights
18. Seek and Destroy

Today's "Big Four" show, as part of the Sonisphere festival, will be beamed to more than 450 movie theatres in more than 140 markets in the U.S., along with cities in Europe, Canada and Latin America. In addition, it is being recorded for a forthcoming "Big Four" DVD.

The concert will be broadcast to theatres in high definition. Delayed screenings are planned for Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX — the so-called "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal — played together for the first time in history last Wednesday night (June 16) in front of 81,000 fans at the Sonisphere festival at Bemowo Airport in Warsaw, Poland.

Ronnie James Dio Tribute Concert Announced


On May 16, Ronnie James Dio passed away and the world of music mourned the loss of the greatest voice of heavy metal.

Dio was a truly iconic figure in music, whose work with ELF, RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH, DIO and most recently, HEAVEN & HELL defined a genre.

HEAVEN & HELL was set to be on the road in Europe this summer when news came through that despite the amazing progress he was making Ronnie wouldn't be well enough to tour and those shows were canceled. But now, remaining members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice are set to play a one-off show to celebrate his life and work. According to Black-Sabbath.com, the band will be completed by Glenn Hughes (BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE, TRAPEZE) and Jorn Lande (MASTERPLAN) who will both contribute vocals.

Hughes was a close friend of Ronnie's for many years and performed a musical tribute at Ronnie's funeral service in Los Angeles.

Although Norwegian Jorn Lande is best known as the vocalist for power metal band MASTERPLAN, he has also released many solo albums, including a tribute to Ronnie.

The concert promises to be a fitting celebration to a man that the metal scene owes so much.

"It's going to be a very emotional occasion," said Butler in a statement.

"Ronnie loved his fans like no one else I know — and they loved him. It will be a privilege doing a gig in honor of his memory, and to help towards his charity. Above all, I hope it encourages people to have regular check-ups for this disease. Early detection is vital, and greatly improves the chance of a cure.

"I know everyone has heard that a million times before, but seeing one of your best friends die, because we all think we're immune from this disease, really brings it home.

"Do it for yourself, your family, your friends. Ronnie would be proud of you."

Tony Iommi added: "Ronnie's passing has left a huge hole. We hadn't anywhere near finished what we set out to do as a band together. He was so looking forward to the European tour and we hope this appearance will go some way to fulfilling that."

The Ronnie James Dio "Stand Up And Shout" Cancer Fund program description:

* The fund is committed to the early detection and prevention of cancer through facilitating access to medical screening and medical educational programs.

* The fund supports programs designed to integrate medical knowledge into local communities such as cancer screening programs, education on nutrition in cancer prevention, exercise and overall wellness."

* The goal of the fund is to reduce the risk of developing life threatening cancers by offering access to preventative medical services."

* Furthering the commitment for patients to access to quality medical care related to cancer, the fund seeks to assist families burdened by the cost of caring for loved ones with cancer."

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio, One of the Best


Wendy Dio, wife/manager of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW), has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m. [on Sunday] 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes before he peacefully passed away.

"Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all.

"We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us.

"Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss.

"Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

It was only a month ago that Dio, 67, spoke about his battle with cancer with the Artisan News Service on the "black carpet" of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards, which took place on April 8 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. When asked about how he had been feeling since he was diagnosed with the disease late last year, Dio said, "Well, I feel good and bad at times. It's a long process. Chemotherapy is a... I never realized what a difficult thing it was to go through. It's a real cumulative effect — the more you have, the more it piles up on top and it takes longer and longer to get over it. I find it very difficult to eat. I don't like to eat anyway, so I guess that's OK. But I know I have to. But this makes it very, very hard. But if you're determined to beat it, then you have to go with what you believe is going to beat it for you, and in this case it's that. I go to a great hospital in Houston called M.D. Anderson, which I think is the best hospital in the world, I have the best doctor in the world, Dr. Ajani, who I really trust and I really believe in, so I think I've done all the right things. It makes me feel positive about my life and positive that there is a lot more of it to live."

Earlier this month, HEAVEN & HELL canceled its summer tour plans in Europe due to Dio's treatment for stomach cancer. The band said in a statement that Dio wasn't "well enough to tour this summer. We hope that everyone understands and want to thank fans and industry colleagues for their continuing support at this time."

Ronnie James Dio had performed with ELF, RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH, and his own band DIO. Other musical projects included the collective fundraiser "Hear 'n Aid". He is widely hailed as one of the most powerful singers in heavy metal, renowned for his consistently powerful voice and for popularizing the "devil's horns" hand gesture in metal culture. He was most recently involved with HEAVEN & HELL, a project which also included former BLACK SABBATH bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice. Their first and only studio album, "The Devil You Know", was released on April 28, 2009.

With rumors swirling since ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante and bassist Frank Bello were seen together with former ANTHRAX vocalist Joey Belladonna late last month in New York, the band — Benante, Bello, and guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano — is elated to announce that Belladonna has officially rejoined the band. In his once and current capacity, Belladonna will make his first appearance with ANTHRAX this summer when the band joins METALLICA, SLAYER, and MEGADETH — the "Big Four" founding bands of the thrash genre — to co-headline a series of Sonisphere Festivals in ten European cities, as well as playing a handful of ANTHRAX-headlined shows (itinerary is below).

"I am super-excited about this," said Scott Ian. "Joey and the rest of the band came to see me play at a club in New York, I hadn't seen Joey for years, since the end of the reunion tour. Joey taps me on the shoulder, instant big hug, it felt like no time had gone by. The band dynamic is an interesting one — in ANTHRAX, Joey and I spent so many years of our lives together, we grew up together, we know each other so well, so it was like no time was lost."

Belladonna, an essential part of ANTHRAX's lineup from 1985 to 1992, sang on some of the band's most popular albums including "Spreading the Disease", "Among the Living" and "Persistence of Time". He had reunited with original members of ANTHRAX for the 2005-2007 "Among the Living Tour", but this situation is different. Explained Belladonna, "I had been in touch with Charlie and Frank, then I got a call from their manager who said that everyone wanted me back in the band. I thought, 'are you guys for real? You want me up there, fronting the band like it was before?' I was thrilled. We've already started to reconnect with the old ways of having conversations. Everything is easy going and feels really good."

"We're going to do these summer shows and gel as a band," explained Charlie Benante, "get comfortable playing with each other again, and the energy from that should go right into making new music."

Immediately following the final Sonisphere festival in early August, the band will fly back to the U.S. and begin writing and rehearsing for a new album that's expected to be out in early 2011.

"We've got an unusual luxury of hindsight," added Ian. "We finished an album a year ago, we've lived with those 12 songs since then, and we can look back on them and see what we really love and what we can make even better, especially with Joey back in the fold."

Added Benante, "There are five or six songs from a year ago that we don't want to change, we love them the way they are, other than having Joey making them his own with his vocals. Then there's another five or six that we may want to rework, and then there are a bunch of other tunes that are still in the early stages, that we want to finish.

"The band has been on an emotional roller coaster since last summer," Benante continued, "but I think everything that we've had to deal with during that time was pushing us toward this, to Joey being back in ANTHRAX, and the timing couldn't be more perfect or appropriate. To have Joey with us playing these shows with METALLICA, SLAYER and MEGADETH is the way it should be — as ANTHRAX's vocalist from '85 to '92, he was part of the 'Big Four.'"

"John was a real stand-up guy about the situation," said Ian, about John Bush, ANTHRAX's vocalist from 1992 to 2005 and for some of ANTHRAX's most recent live shows. "He knew we wanted to move forward at full speed, that we needed a total commitment to ANTHRAX, and he knew that wasn't what he wanted. We certainly wish John well. We've had so many great times with him, and we appreciate his stepping in last summer at the last minute, and performing with us since then. He will always be an integral part of the ANTHRAX family."

With worldwide sales in excess of 10-million, ANTHRAX is about to celebrate its 29th year as a band. Over its career, ANTHRAX has received multiple gold and platinum albums, multiple Grammy nominations, and a host of other accolades from the press, industry and fans.

ANTHRAX has scheduled the following dates:

Jun. 16 - Warsaw, Poland @ Sonisphere
Jun. 18 - Wil, Switzerland @ Sonisphere

Oh my lord man you just cant take no for answer can you?

Remixing an album (that needed it badly) thats over a decade old to release again because it is out of print isn't a cash grab.

Of course he's selling it. Why wouldn't he.............. it costs a lot of money to make this stuff........

Rock In Rio isn't an album........... its a DVD. There is no official audio release for that............. the two live Halford albums are Live Insurrection and Live In Anaheim. Holy fuck man.

Whats the problem with purchasing the same album (a way better version) that you bought for probably half the price over a decade ago? Again, Cheap fucker.

No 95% of the time is exaggerating a bit dont you think? I've heard many bonus tracks from tons of bands that are better then most of the songs on the album. There's a difference between Japanese bonus tracks and putting stuff on that you shelved 30 years ago.

I will enjoy my brand new products and the re-released ones as well. Because now, I dont have to inconvience myself getting that extra content because its ALL on one package. And it sure as fuck isn't expensive either.

Thats not the point, your only considering yourself in the equation.

These albums weren't in print anymore. You could not go to a store and buy these albums. That was impossible.

These albums are for people that want a better product OR younger fans that dont already own them....... get it?

Nobody really likes buying stuff second hand, especially online. So why not make these albums available again? Thats the point of releasing them....... so people can buy them again if they want to and the fans that want to buy them for the first time CAN.

Its not lame or pathetic or a cash grab at all. Its giving the fans a product they couldn't buy otherwise.

Oh for fucks sakes man are you seriously doing this? 

Now I gotta repeat everything I just said because your negative attitude can't seem to understand what is happening right now.

Fact #1.
You're a fucking douchebag.

#2. A Small Deadly Spacae wasn't released as a substandard product. An album is a band's mindset and vision at the time. Thats what they created. Most bands dont have the opportunity to go back and change stuff due to master tapes being lost and record contracts, rights, etc etc. Rob Halford acquired the rights and masteres to ALL his solo work recently. What would you do in that situation as a MUSICIAN who wants to express his art that is no longer available? RELEASE IT AGAIN DUMBASS. He's not guilty of putting out a substandard product, you're just a childish twat that wants the last word. Grow up. Its how people making MONEY. TO LIVE. Seriously, its amazing how fucking ignorant your being to me telling you that the remix is BETTER, and you just say "Pfft, no its not, your stupid, this is gay." You haven't even heard it. Did you even listen to the youtube clip I posted here? I really doubt you did. Seriously man, grow up.

#3. Every single one of his albums has been out of print for years. He's re-released them in NEW and improved formats, different verions for those who dont want to own the same product a couple times, etc etc.

#4. Rob isn't ripping the fans off. He's GIVING them back something they could no longer acquire. How's is that ripping them off? Or are you really that fucking cheap? These albums have not been available in stores for YEARS. Some of them over a decade. If you had the rights and the power to give thousands of people something they're all screaming for, would you give it to them? The thing is he's doing a lot more then just giving them the same thing again, he's making an overall better package, tweaking things that make it better, adding new audio and even artwork. Thats well worth buying it again a fucking DECADE later if you ask me.

#5. Where are you getting 3 live albums from out of the Halford catalogue. Last time I checked there is TWO live albums. Live Insurrection and the new 2 disc live set of the DVD coming out.

#6. Do you even understand why albums are released with bonus tracks? Obviously you dont from the way your talking about them. Bonus tracks are 100% of the time released in places like Japan and Russia and occasionally Europe because they PAY MORE for the albums. Why not give them a little something extra to compensate for the extra cost? Thats the whole point of bonus tracks. Rob's putting those bonus tracks on the albums now so that EVERYONE has a fair chance to get them. Its not a matter of why they weren't good enough in the first place, because they're obviously amazing fucking songs, its a gift to people that pay more for the album. Not cheap fuckers like yourself.

#7. Die hard fans won't and will not buy every single thing. I consider myself a die hard fan of Rob Halford associated things in general. I dont have every single Priest album. I dont have every single thing Rob's ever done. Am I gonna buy these 3 new releases? Fucking right I am, because there a WAYY BETTER PRODUCT THEN WHAT I ALREADY HAVE. Why WOULDN"T I buy Crucible remixed/remastered? Its got a better sound/production, its got more songs, more and new artwork and linear notes. Whats NOT to like?

Anyway enjoy your 10 year old Cd's. I can only imagine what kind of shit you'll reply to me with. Thing is everything I said is true, everything you've said so far is a piss poor attitude grasping for anything to fling at me to shut me down. That's called being a douchebag.

Halford Announces First Tour Date: HeavyMTL Festival in Montreal

JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford has confirmed that his solo band, HALFORD, will perform at this year's edition of the Heavy MTL festival on July 24, 2010 at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

“I am excited to re-introduce the HALFORD band — Mike Chlasciak and Roy Z. on guitars, Mike Davis on bass and Bobby Jarzombek on drums — to the metal fans in Canada this summer," explains Rob Halford.

"We are looking forward to performing a strong set and unveiling a new track for the Montreal Heavy MTL festival."

Metal God Records and Rob Halford have announced plans to release "Halford - Live In Anaheim Original 2CD Soundtrack" (June 21), "Halford Crucible - Remixed & Remastered" (July 12) and "Halford - Live In Anaheim" DVD (August 3) a 5.1, 23-song, two-plus-hour film documenting Rob Halford's 2002-2003 solo release ("Crucible") and tour.

Armed with metal's most diverse band of the decade, "Halford - Live In Anaheim" is an intimate, in-your-face, solo performance featuring HALFORD, FIGHT and JUDAS PRIEST classics: "Golgotha", "The Heretic", "Sun", "Into The Pit", "Light Comes Out Of Black", "Painkiller", "Rapid Fire", "Never Satisfied", and more. Also featured are bonus live tracks from HALFORD's Tokyo, Japan performances February 2003.

Captured months prior to reuniting with JUDAS PRIEST in 2003, The Metal God debuts new HALFORD guitarist Roy Z. and bassist Mike Davis along with original HALFORD members Metal Mike Chlasciak (guitars) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums) in rare performances from Anaheim, California and Tokyo, Japan.

The Metal God will also hit the road this summer and fall 2010, for his first solo tour in more than seven years; supporting "Halford - Live In Anaheim", "Crucible - Remixed & Remastered" and his entire HALFORD, FIGHT and JUDAS PRIEST catalog.

Rob Halford comments: "I am pleased to be releasing 'Crucible - Remixed & Remastered'; along with 'Halford - Live In Anaheim' DVD and CDs this year. The HALFORD band have not toured for more than seven years, and everyone knows how important my solo work is to me. While the other members of JUDAS PRIEST enjoy a well-deserved break for the remainder of 2010, I am very excited about getting HALFORD onto as many stages as we can before year's end."

You would want to purchase the album again because the remix is a million times better then the original? Like I just said. Remixes are DIFFERENT from the original. Its the songs reworked and in this case the remix is way better then the original. Production wise, vocal wise, instrument wise, arrangement wise, its ALL better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq6khIFk5Bc

And the main reason Halford is releasing all this stuff again IS BECAUSE ITS OUT OF PRINT. When was the last time you saw this shit in a music store? I for one personally can't wait for the Anaheim DVD and double live album because its gonna be fucking amazing. 

Also can't wait for the Crucible remix/remaster because it DOES sound better, and it also has ALL of the Crucible songs you previously could only get on the Jap or Euro versions.

Is that not reason enough?

I'm not a picky person at all but when they is an overall BETTER product out there, why not get the best one available?

Megadeth - Rust In Peace / Slayer - Seasons in The Abyss, American Carnage Tour

MEGADETH and SLAYER, who last toured the U.S. together 19 years ago on the "Clash of the Titans" extravaganza, have confirmed that they will each perform, start to finish, their 1990 releases — SLAYER's world-wide, million-selling "Seasons In The Abyss" and MEGADETH's platinum "Rust In Peace" — on the upcoming Canadian and American Carnage tours. The six-date Canadian Carnage kicks off July 23 in Quebec City, while the 19-city American Carnage dates begin August 11 in Glens Falls, NY (complete itinerary is below). With SLAYER and MEGADETH co-headlining, TESTAMENT will be special guest on all dates.

Tickets purchased for the Canadian and American Carnage shows when they first went on sale late last year will be honored for the rescheduled dates.

Nineteen hundred and ninety was one stellar year for fans of intense heavy metal, as both "Rust In Peace" and "Seasons in the Abyss" are considered to be among the genre's all-time classics. "War Ensemble", "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due", "Dead Skin Mask", "Hangar 18", "Seasons In The Abyss" — the preeminent list of metal standards that these two albums spawned has rarely been matched by others.

SLAYER — guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo — scored a major breakthrough upon the original release of "Seasons In The Abyss" (SLAYER's fifth studio album overall), as it was the group' first album to hit the U.S. Top 40, and saw SLAYER playing to the biggest crowds of their career on '91's "Clash of the Titans" tour.

MEGADETH's fourth album, "Rust In Peace", saw the band cement their status as one of the most important metal bands with masterpieces like "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due", as well as a top 25 debut on the Billboard chart. The album has been hailed as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time, with IGN recently naming it one of the most influential metal albums ever. MEGADETH is now rejoined by original bassist Dave Ellefson and are firing on all cylinders.

The American Carnage tour, originally scheduled to take place in January and February, had to be postponed due to SLAYER vocalist/bassist Tom Araya's treatment for severe back pain, an occupational hazard for the rocker who is known for aggressively swinging his long mane of hair while performing. A surgical procedure in January corrected the problem once and for all, and he felt better almost immediately.

"Right after the surgery," said Araya, "I could tell that the issue was fixed. There's no more pain, it just feels really good. I'm really excited and I'm anxious to get together with the rest of the guys and start rehearsing again. We cancelled two tours, and I don't feel great about that, but I couldn't deal with the pain anymore, and that's now completely gone. I know the fans are excited to see the band - the tour is on, we're keeping our word, there will be no more cancellations."

Jul. 23 - Pavillon de la Jeunesse, Quebec City, QC CANADA

Crucible needed the remaster badly. Same as A Small Deadly Space. They both sound a million times better production wise now being reMIXED and mastered. Eveyrthing is less muddied and more upfront.

Now Resurrection on the other hand, THAT didn't need a remaster haha.

Dave Mustaine Interview

Chris A. of Hardrock Haven recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Hardrock Haven: As MEGADETH's frontman, is the fact that you always keep the band stocked with incredible guitarists designed to give you the opportunity to "step out" a bit with your vocals or does it push you to be a better guitar player?

Dave Mustaine: Well, if it's afforded me the opportunity to step out as a vocalist, I haven't done it yet, 'cause I'm not a very confident with myself as a singer. I wasn't a singer when I started, I just liked playing the guitar, and in fact, in my last band that's all I did — play lead guitar. That's what my trade is. I remember one night on New Year's Eve, me and Dave Ellefson [MEGADETH bassist] were rehearsing and we had some guy come down and audition for the band and he walked in and had fucking eyeliner on. He did have a bunch of beer and me and Dave were living in Dave's van mooching off chicks at the time, so we drank all of his beer, and let him sing awhile as long as the beer lasted. After it was gone, we said "You're fired." I mean, I can't have a guy with eyeliner in MEGADETH, for Pete's sake! So Dave said, "Why don't you sing?" I tried it but it felt like I had a railroad spike going through my eyeballs because I didn't know how to breathe. When you sing, if you push all that air out of your body singing, no matter how cool you think you might look, you're doing down because you're gonna faint. I tried singing, I didn't like it but ended up doing it because we couldn't find anyone.

Hardrock Haven: Did you take any vocal lessons?

Dave Mustaine: I took two vocal lessons, but I won't tell you their names. One was a 70-year-old woman in Hollywood who stood behind me and stuck her hands down my pants. I thought, you know, this is fucked up. Then there was another one by a guy in Hollywood who asked me to unbutton my pants so he could examine my diaphragm. I said, "Dude, my diaphragm is up here. Diaphragms in pants belong in females." So I'm not sure what my private parts have to do with a vocal lesson but I guess it's got something to do with breathing. It was really too weird for me. I thought, if this is part of being a vocalist, I'll be a professional yeller.

Hardrock Haven: Your newest release, "Endgame", is a great metal disc, what was the inspiration behind your song "1320'"? Obviously, it's about drag racing but what prompted to you write the song?

Dave Mustaine: What happened was when I was a kid, I used to go to the Orange County International Raceway. I was an entrepreneur. My mom moved out when I was 13 so I had to learn how to live on the streets so I was sort of like Oliver Twist. I was a street urchin. I would go to the racetrack and buy a ticket. On the way to the track I would stop by the drugstore and I got a pack of those rainbow pens. I went inside and they stamped my hand, I went back outside into the parking lot and pan-handled tickets all day for all the booze and drugs and cash that I could possibly stuff in my little teenage pockets. Then I would go inside and watch the main event and watch the nitro cars. Ever since I was 13 I've been fascinated with racing. I would go to the fairgrounds and watch motocross, I love the smell of the motorcycles and the speedway. It's kind of a bummer now because you're so close to the track and people are fucking drunk off their butts and they want me to sign shit and take photos and I just wanna see the race. For me, if I go out to do something I'm going out to do something, not sign autographs. That's why I don't go out very much because I don't want people to think that I'm a snob. I don't want to be rude, I try to be fan-friendly because I know who gave me this fabulous lifestyle — the gift came from the Lord, but I wouldn't be here without the fan support.

Hardrock Haven: You've got an autobiography about to be published. What was it like for you to see the part of your life that your going to make public laid out in paper?

Dave Mustaine: It's been out there forever, because I've been very open about my career since I started. I don't think there's any reason to hide shit because people find out. And if you take the wind out of their sails they can't use it against you. It's not self-deprecation or anything like that, but for me, I think what it is this righteous transparency that when you people talk to me they know what they are getting. They know that I'm not a bullshitter and they know that I'm fairly intelligent on stuff I'm talking about because if I don't know about a subject, I won't talk about it.

What? No he doesn't. A band should NEVER have to get involved with petty little arguments that the members have over something like politics.
Rob owns the site but its not his job to fix arguments..... thats asking a bit much. And yes the website is his name, but its not about HIM, its about his MUSICAL CAREER and everything he's done. Nobody goes to that site because they think he's a great guy. They go because of the music he's created.

Why does everyone here have such animosity towards the Mods? They AREN'T like that. I've NEVER seen them ban someone because they want to / can / disagreeing with them. NEVER. I've been on that site for a few years now....... honestly the Mods aren't even ALLOWED to do that....... they don't have that power. ADMIN and MODS are two different things.

As for people actually thinking that this site is a decent band site though...... its really not. At all. I've been a member of a LOT of band sites, and this is one of the worst by far. Not for the people or anything, but for the way the site is designed and run. We get updated like every odd MONTH. The site hasn't changed besides the colors for years. The last Poll we had was whether or not we liked Rising in the East. The store is fucking horrible. We don't have ANY of the bands official videos. We don't even have the correct LYRICS for god's sake.

That said, I do keep coming back here because I enjoy the people.


And yeah Simon, you did break some rules, don't fucking pretend to be innocent because you're not.

And I can understand where your all coming from if you've had trouble from some people there but I can say this that the mods do NOT just ban people whenever they feel like it or for the hell of it.

There's a lot of nice people there, its just like moving to any other different forum. You aren't going to know how people or act until you spend some time there and learn when there being a dick or having a laugh.

New Dimebag/Damageplan Song Coming In The Next Metal Hammer Magazine.

This month's issue of U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine comes packaged with a previously unheard track that was recorded by the late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.

SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo, who produced the song, tells the magazine, "I got the track and put it into Pro Tools and trimmed the edges and made it shine a bit but the true producer and engineer was Dime. The sounds you hear are the ones he recorded, I just cleaned it up.

"I've never done anything like this and it was an honor to work on something that no one has ever heard and to be one of the first to listen to it.

"[Dime's former girlfriend] Rita [Haney] told me about the song, about Zakk [Wylde] and the whole the story about them getting together and ending up drunk. It's really cool.

"Rita fills me in and all the stories are so great. They had such a nice life.

"I've come know more about him and his impact later in life than I did at the time. You really appreciate his art and what he contributes to metal."

Other bands featured on the CD include SOULFLY, BLEEDING THROUGH, CANCER BATS and THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN.

"Dimebag" Darrell was co-founder and lead guitarist for PANTERA. When PANTERA broke up in 2003, Dimebag and his brother Vinnie Paul formed DAMAGEPLAN. On Dec. 8, 2004, while performing with DAMAGEPLAN at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, Dimebag was shot and killed onstage by Nathan Gale. He was 38 years old.

Rush - Time Machine Tour

RUSH — Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart — is without question one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history, equally famed for both its virtuoso musicianship and provocative songwriting.

Announced today, the "Time Machine Tour" is an evening with RUSH, where they will perform their classics, give a taste of the future — and for the first time ever — feature the "Moving Pictures" album live in its entirety.

The band is currently working on their 20th studio album with producer Nick Raskulinecz (co-producer from 2007's "Snakes & Arrows") and in addition to their classics plan to showcase a few new tunes live this summer.

"We were off for a year and a half, and now it's just pouring. Everything is totally crazy and there's not a minute left in the day. We've got these half-dozen songs, and we'll probably go in the studio and work on a couple of them and see how it goes, perhaps release something — and I say perhaps — and then we plan on being on the road," says guitarist Alex Lifeson.

This summer's Live Nation-promoted tour will visit approximately 40 cities throughout North America beginning June 29 in Albuquerque, NM and finishing October 2 in West Palm Beach, FL with stops along the way in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Holmdel, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto, Washington, and more along the way (complete tour itinerary follows).

RUSH has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and garnered untold legions of devoted and admiring fans. According to the RIAA, RUSH's sales statistics place RUSH third after THE BEATLES and THE ROLLING STONES for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band.

Released in 1981, "Moving Pictures" was their most successful album, certified four-times platinum and features some of RUSH's most well known songs and perennial radio favourites "Tom Sawyer", "Limelight" and the Grammy-nominated instrumental "YYZ".

"Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage", a documentary created by filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn (whose filmography also includes "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" and "Global Metal") will premiere at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on April 24, followed by the Canadian premiere at Toronto's Hot Docs festival on April 29. The band was also recently showcased in the comedy "I Love You Man" where they play themselves in a concert scene featuring actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segal as ubra-fans, a performance which has exposed the band to a whole new generation.

Inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame this past March alongside Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot, RUSH has also been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and won a number of Juno Awards. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and bestowed the Order of Canada in 1997. Consistently celebrated and respected worldwide, RUSH is the most successful Canadian rock band of all time and they remain one of the biggest grossing arena rock bands ever.

Tickets for the "Time Machine Tour" will go on sale beginning April 16 in San Francisco, Uncasville, Saratoga Springs, Denver, Chicago, Wantagh, Seattle and Holmdel at LiveNation.com. Tickets for performances in Milwaukee, Sarnia and Syracuse go on sale April 17. Check local listings for ticket information.

AC/DC - Let There Be Rock DVD Release Date Announced

"Let There Be Rock", the AC/DC concert documentary that was filmed December 1979 at the Pavillion De Paris, will receive its long-awaited DVD release in January 2011. Eddie Trunk, the co-host of the VH1 Classic television program "That Metal Show", was interviewed about the band's impact for one of the DVD's bonus features. He writes on his blog, "[The company which is releasing the DVD is] doing some cleanups to the audio and video and making it as high-def as the source will allow." He adds, "I can tell you I have an advance and it looks and sounds great, but they are making it even better!"

According to the All Music Guide, "Let There Be Rock" was released in France a year after it was filmed, though American release was delayed until well after the band had established themselves in the States with new vocalist Brian Johnson and the multi-platinum success of the "Back In Black" album.

In his review of the original "Let There Be Rock" film, Fred Beldin of the All Music Guide writes, "Director Eric Dionysis captures the excitement of the live show with an energetic style and effective close-up shots, though the staged interviews and sub-'The Song Remains The Same' fantasy sequences show the band to be bemused but not convinced by these attempts to add some arty depth to the proceedings. The highlight of the extracurricular segments is Bon Scott, radiating warmth and humility in these last interviews before his untimely death at age 33 from alcohol poisoning."

Not really...

The deluxe version of British Steel coming out has the remastered album, a Live DVD with bonus stuff on it, and a Live CD which is either the audio from the DVD or quite possibly a 1980 concert......... thats yet to be confirmed.

Thats a lot of extra stuff for a "reissue".

The Iced Earth thing is a cash in, the British Steel thing isnt. 2/3 of it is new stuff.

Iced Earth: Box Of the Wicked

ICED EARTH's "Box Of The Wicked" will be released in Europe on April 26 (three days earlier in Germany) and May 18 in the U.S. via SPV/Steamhammer Records. The set is limited to 10,000 copies worldwide.

While ICED EARTH's 1998 album "Something Wicked This Way Comes" provided a general overview of the story guitarist/songwriter Jon Schaffer has been conceptualizing for well over a decade, the saga was fully brought to life with the release of the back-to-back conceptual albums "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible of Man". The albums provided answers to mysteries the previous releases created, and the timeliness of the story in today's world were guaranteed to keep people thinking and guessing. Schaffer's ability to convey the central themes and events of the story without always revealing exactly "why" characters' decisions are made and "how" events come to pass will keep fans of the saga coming back as future mediums for the "Something Wicked" storyline are revealed.

The whole saga is now included in this high-quality hardcover boxset (height 13 cm, depth 4.5 cm, width 14.5 cm) featuring the original digipak CDs "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible Of Man" as well as the original digipaks EPs "Overture Of The Wicked" and "I Walk Among You". In addition, the boxset includes a bonus cardboard CD with one song from "Framing Armageddon" now sung by Matt Barlow and three previously unreleased live tracks from the Belgian Graspop Metal Meeting festival in 2008, also featuring Barlow on vocals. The boxset will come with a full-color A1 poster and a 12-page booklet with previously unseen photos and liner notes.

Dragon Force Singer Leaves Band

The U.S. branch of Roadrunner Records released a story at approximately 6:03 p.m. EST today (Monday, March 8) via its official web site (and distributed through the site's official RSS feed) containing the following text (Note: The story has since been removed from the site):

"DRAGONFORCE have split with lead singer ZP Theart. The band issued the following statement regarding the matter:

"'It is with great regret that DRAGONFORCE announce a parting of the ways with singer ZP Theart. This is due to insurmountable differences of musical opinion but the rest of the band sincerely wishes ZP great success with his future projects.

"'While the creative core members have begun writing the fifth album, they have also started a worldwide search for a new vocalist.'

"'We are looking for a powerful, melodic singer to write a new chapter of DRAGONFORCE with us,' said guitarist Herman Li.

"Anyone wishing to audition for the vacant position should apply following the instructions right here."

A screenshot of the story as it appeared in Google Reader (a web-based aggregator, capable of reading Atom and RSS feeds online or offline) can be viewed below.

DRAGONFORCE's latest album, 2008's "Ultra Beatdown", sold 24,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart.

DRAGONFORCE had its first two studio albums — "Valley Of The Damned" and "Sonic Firestorm" — reissued on February 22, 2010 via Spinefarm Records U.K. Both titles were made available with updated packaging and bonus audio/DVD content, some of it exclusive to these releases.

Extreme: "Take Us Alive" DVD

Reunited Massachusetts hard rockers EXTREME will release the "Take Us Alive" live CD and DVD on April 23 in Europe and May 4 in the U.S. via Frontiers Records.

In 2008, following a 13-year hiatus, EXTREME returned to the stage for its "Take Us Alive" world tour, which encompassed 75 cities and multiple continents in support of the band's new record, "Saudades de Rock".

This recording captures EXTREME at the peak of its game with a renewed enthusiasm led by Gary Cherone's spellbinding stage performance and powerful vocals, Nuno Bettencourt's ferocious guitar, Pat Badger's flawless bass and Kevin Figueiredo's pounding drums and spot-on back-up vocals.

This brilliant performance was recorded on the last night of their tour at the House of Blues on August 8, 2009 in EXTREME's hometown of Boston.

"We wanted to do something really special for our hometown fans that were there for us since the beginning… the club days," states Nuno. "It was the last night of the tour and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by bringing it back to where it all started… Boston."

The concert showcases material from all five EXTREME albums and exhibits the band's broad stylistic abilities. Features include a blistering rendition of the LED ZEPPELIN-minded "Comfortably Dumb", the scorching "Play With Me", the funked-up "Cupid's Dead" as well as the anthemic "Get The Funk Out". Songs like EXTREME's #1 hit "More Than Words" and the Top 5 single "Hole Hearted" highlight the crowds enthusiasm and loyal support their fan base has had for this beloved foursome.

"As much as we enjoy recording, for me, I've always loved playing live for the fans," Cherone says. "We couldn't wait to get out there and play for our fans."

The DVD will contain four unreleased bonus videos from "Saudades de Rock" — "King of the Ladies", "Interface", "Run" and "Ghost". The clips were produced by Nuno Bettencourt.

"This DVD/CD is a culmination of all the years we played together and the chemistry the four of us put out live," explains Bettencourt.

"Take Us Alive" concert track listing:

01. Decadence Dance
02. Comfortably Dumb
03. Rest in Peace
04. It's a Monster
05. Star
06. Tell me Something I Don't Know
07. Medley - Kid Ego / Little Girls / Teacher's Pet
08. Play With Me

12. Cupid's Dead

Judas Priest's British Steel: The Legacy Edition

Sony Music has set a May 11 release date (one day earlier internationally) for "British Steel: Legacy Edition", the limited deluxe expanded edition of JUDAS PRIEST's classic 1980 album "British Steel".

"British Steel" was the sixth studio album by JUDAS PRIEST. Released on April 14, 1980 and produced by Tom Allom, "British Steel" was recorded at Tittenhurst Park in England — a mansion owned at the time by former THE BEATLES member Ringo Starr, and previously owned by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

"British Steel" has long been considered one of metals all-time classics. It was with this release that PRIEST truly broke through to the masses, with a pair of tracks that have become fixtures on rock radio — the enduring anthems "Breaking The Law" and "Living After Midnight". But like all classic albums, there is not a single weak track detected on "British Steel", as evidenced by such standouts as the perennial concert highlight "Metal Gods", as well as "Rapid Fire", "Grinder", "United" and "The Rage", among others.

In 2009 JUDAS PRIEST performed the "British Steel" album in its entirety for the first time ever as part of their 30th anniversary USA tour. A filmed recording of the show on the August 17, 2009 at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida will be included in both the limited-edition deluxe and deluxe releases. The show was captured in front of a vibrant American audience and in full 5.1 surround and stereo sound. Known for their high-energy and spectacular stage shows the band played the entire "British Steel" album in sequence as well as a number of other well-know tracks from their catalog.

The live concert was mixed in stereo and 5.1 by the original "British Steel" producer Tom Allom. In addition, the DVD will include the bonus content of "The Making Of British Steel", a 30-minute doc featuring the four original band members. This new DVD brings the live PRIEST experience like no other live recording.

"British Steel: Legacy Edition" will come in two formats:

* Limited edition deluxe three-disc to include original album, live DVD and live CD (***TO BE CONFIRMED***)

Full track listings are as follows:

But for now I'm just gonna take it into the store to see what they can do about the grounding issues and that pot being burnt out or whatever. Somethings not right anyway.

Yeah it did take a while haha, but it was totally worth it.

For that kind of guitar the action is so LOW..... its amazing how low it is. Get some fretbuzz but you get that everywhere.

This guitar is definitly a step up from the previous version they had of it.

And my knob setup is strange.

You know how the first knob is suppose to be volume? It isnt..... its like a second tone knob, except BOTH knobs work at the same time for whatever pickup selection you have. It makes no sense haha.

Iron Maiden Completes Recording New Album

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."

Shirley also worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".

The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.

Speaking at last year's premiere of the band's documentary film "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", guitarist Adrian Smith stated, "There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it's good because it motivates you.

"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"

IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers revealed to BBC News in November that the band was on its way "to Paris for three weeks to work on some new stuff." He added, "The most important thing for a band is to create new music, otherwise you're not valid — you become a parody."

IRON MAIDEN will headline this year's edition of the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.

That's because they aren't scared to go past the first four frets and actually TRY different things unlike so many bands nowadays. That's their signature sound and they probably wont ever deviate from it.

Not to mention they filmed no shows on the Ram It Down or Painkiller tour.

All the proshot stuff from the Painkiller tour was filmed by either another group, or the video footage that was being streamed to the big screens the people there could see at the time.

They aren't remastering a remaster.

Its a special edition of British Steel.

British Steel remastered (current version available) + Live at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida DVD + Audio CD from the show.

They'd be completely insane not to release SOME sort of documentation of the British Steel tour, it was great!

It's not crap, its giving the fans an amazing live package to hold us over till the next release.

David Ellefson Rejoins Megadeth

Megadeth founder and frontman Dave Mustaine has announced the return of original bassist David Ellefson (1983-2002) to the iconic multi-platinum group.  This reunion is appropriately timed to Megadeth’s upcoming historic month-long Rust In Peace 20th anniversary tour which launches March 1 in Spokane, WA.  At these incredibly special shows, Megadeth will play their landmark, genre-defining 1990 album Rust In Peace in its entirety, in addition to other Megadeth favorites.

"This shows the power of brotherly love and forgiveness,” Mustaine says.  “David Ellefson belongs in Megadeth. Next we are going to show you the power of getting your asses kicked...HARD!"

David Ellefson concurs: "This is a huge moment for all of us, band and fans alike. It is a great celebration of the music from one of the biggest landmark albums of our career."

Ellefson will join Mustaine and Megadeth band members Shawn Drover (drums) and Chris Broderick (guitar) on tour in support of the group’s current CD Endgame, which has received some of the highest critical accolades of the band’s career.

"We'd like to thank James LoMenzo for several years of loyal service on the bass, and wish him the very best," Mustaine adds.

Disturbed Begin Recording New Album


According to The Pulse of Radio, DISTURBED has hit the studio in its hometown of Chicago to begin recording its fifth album, with a tentative summer release date planned. The group has not yet announced a title for the project, which will follow up 2008's "Indestructible". Guitarist Dan Donegan told The Pulse of Radio that DISTURBED had 15 to 18 songs ready to go, adding that the band doesn't like to waste time once it gets started. "I mean, we definitely go in there very prepared," he said. "We never enter the studio unless we feel like, right now, if these are the songs we record, that we would have an album that we're proud of and we're excited about. And we put everything under the microscope and examine it the best we can to make sure that we're prepared. We don't like going in there wasting time. We go in there to work, and to try to make the best album we can."

Meanwhile, the band has set March 23 as the release date for the 10th anniversary edition of its debut album, "The Sickness". The set, which will also be available on vinyl, will feature B-sides, new artwork, and exclusive online content.

Around the same time, the group will re-launch its website with a special section, accessible only by a code included with new copies of "The Sickness", that will feature clips of the quartet in the studio recording their new album.

Bill Ward Interview

Jarrod Dicker of Stay Thirsty recently conducted an interview with legendary BLACK SABBATH drummer Bill Ward. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Stay Thirsty: What are you currently involved in musically? Does the Bill Ward band still participate in the modern music scene?

Bill Ward: Oh, yeah! This year [2009] I've worked non-stop. I'm in the process of finishing up three albums, which are ALL my albums. When I write songs, I usually write everything (tracks), so I compose in guitar, bass, keyboards, melody arrangements, the vocals…just everything really. So I'm really active inside my own music…

Stay Thirsty: And I'm assuming drums as well?

Bill Ward: And drums of course [laughs], forgot all about the drums. But that's what I've been doing throughout the year and I'm hoping to bring out three fresh albums in 2010. The first one hopefully in the spring, then one in the summer and then trying to get one towards the end of October, right before Halloween. So that's what I'm doing right now. Well I go back into the studio on Tuesday, making sure the tracks are ready for 2010. I'm always busy.

Stay Thirsty: On these upcoming albums, are you the sole musician or do you have a group accompanying you on the tracks?

Bill Ward: When I say I write, I write the parts and so forth, but I have other players that play the music. On the newest work, that's coming out in the spring, Keith Lynch (Bill Ward band veteran) is playing guitar. Paul Ill is playing some bass and then I have a couple of other guys that will play bass as well. Paul's also from early years of the Bill Ward band. And then I have my own drummer, Ronnie Ciago, who's playing on several tracks. I'm playing drums on several tracks too, so it's pretty much a band album if you'd like. There are some guests coming onto the following two albums after the spring one, but it's all under wraps right now [laughs]. They're rock and rollers, man… so they agreed to do it but now let's get them all together in a room and nail it!

Stay Thirsty: Currently, how is your relationship with BLACK SABBATH alumni Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi?

Bill Ward: My relationship with Ozzy is brilliant. I am picking Ozzy first because I speak with him the most often. I talked to Oz a couple days ago. We speak once or twice a week, so we're always in contact with each other. My relationship with Tony is very good at the moment. I spoke with him last week as well. And Geezer never talks on the telephone so I e-mailed Geez, I don't know, just a few weeks ago. I'm in constant contact with all of them, pretty much.

Stay Thirsty: Do you still hold a relationship with Ronnie James Dio? Recent news revealed that he is battling cancer…

Bill Ward: Oh shit yea. For quite a while we did the whole "Heaven and Hell" album together, so I felt like I spent a lot of time with him. We wrote together and played together and did some of the business things together. I also spent a lot of social time with him and his family as well.

Stay Thirsty: In 1979, SABBATH made the decision to fire Ozzy claiming pressure from the record label and various other complications and frustrations. It was you who was chosen to break the news to Ozzy. Why so?

Bill Ward: I just thought that it would be easier if I just did it. I've been in that position before with other musicians; I just felt that I ought to do it. It just felt like the right thing to do at the time. It was a very difficult and depressing time for all of us. I felt it was the right thing to do, for me to talk to Oz. We were close. I volunteered myself.

Stay Thirsty: You left (fired) BLACK SABBATH one year after Ozzy's dismissal. How difficult of a time was this for you; 1) the separation from Ozzy and 2) your constant battle with addiction?

Bill Ward: Yes, it was a very difficult time. I was indeed feeling the loss of not having Ozzy in the band. I also had something happen to me, which had nothing to do with Ronnie or BLACK SABBATH or anything. I'm an alcoholic and a drug addict and my addiction was running rampant with me. I was losing all "control." I thought I had control of it and I did not. I was completely hit so hard with everything that I was unable to function properly. So I reached a point where I put the alcohol and the narcotics before the band and that had never happened before in my life (1980). This is something that I am not proud of, but it is something that happened to me. It actually became more important for me to drink and get high than to perform on stage. That's changed a lot since; my priorities are the right way round again. But back in 1980 it was very bad…very, very bad.

Stay Thirsty: As previously mentioned by other music critics and historians, the drumming style you use doubles the bass and guitar riffs played by accompanying band members. How did you step into this method? Who inspired you to play this particular way?

Bill Ward: As far as drummers are concerned, when I was a child growing up I was really attracted to artists like Gene Kupra and Louis Bellson and Buddy Rich; a lot of the drummers that played in the popular big bands of the '40s. I would listen to their records. My mother and father listened to them because the GIs in World War II had brought that music over with them. So my mother and father became real quick fans of American music. When I was growing up in the early '50s, four or five years old, I listened to these bands and thought it was great. It was pretty much all we had, except for the early rock and roll like THE PLATTERS and a few other bands that were still doing the "crooner"-type ballads.

Stay Thirsty: This is a question I like to ask older, more established musicians: Now that we are in the digital age of mp3's and music piracy, it seems that the concept and idea around a record has vanished. Fans prefer to buy singles rather than listen to the entire piece of work. What are your particular feelings on this matter?

Bill Ward: I have some feelings about it. If I say anything, I must preface it by saying that we [SABBATH] were all brought up in the age of the '60s at a time when how you made a record was that you would release it out and people actually bought it. [laughs] So it's very different today. It can be a little bit frustrating. I think it's a shame that we get bootlegged so much, we were always bootlegged anyway, but now people are just grabbing a copy downloading it and not thinking twice about it. It's just difficult for me to be supportive of that. I mean, it's always been music first and money somewhere down the line. But now, it's really tough to actually make a living in this business.

Stay Thirsty: As I said before, we are in a more digital age. Do you think that music piracy and "ripping off" musicians is a product of the times?

Bill Ward: Now it's this ruthless dog-bite-dog world, but it was definitely like that before the whole "age" you speak of. The '60s and the '70s had their assholes as well. What really pisses me off isn't what necessarily is happening with me, but what is happening with younger bands. They're some great musicians who need to be cut a break, man, and someone needs to invest some time in them. The only ones that invest time in them, what once was enormous record companies, are falling like broken giants now. I see a lot of the casualties coming out of it. It's a shame, there's a lot of people in the industry who I wish weren't in the industry because they don't know anything about the industry or music or anything. You asked me a question there, and a little long and drawn out answer but there it is…

KK Downing Comments On Grammy Win

JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing has issued the following update:

"At last, after five nominations, I am happy to say the PRIEST has at last come home with a Grammy Award!

"I know that some of you may think that the awards are geared up mainly for the pop and country fraternity. But, really, it is a celebration of music excellence around the globe that inspires people in all corners of the world. And when it comes to metal, I think that as long as it gets the recognition and acceptance that it deserves, then I am happy. And I am especially happy for you the fans. I feel that it is your award too; you have been loyal campaigners staying loyal to the music that we all love whilst giving your support to so many bands throughout the decades. None least other than JUDAS PRIEST. For this I thank you and wish for us all be winners time and time again for the good of heavy metal.

"Meanwhile, we are continuing to put together the cool package I was speaking of and that is the 30th anniversary reissue of 'British Steel' and live DVD of the 2009 'British Steel Tour'. There will also be hopefully some bonus stuff too. I can't make any promises, but we are determined to make it as good as it can be.

"I guess many of you are already planning which of the festivals you are going to go this year. Again I think it's going to be a bumper year with tons of great bands to see. One thing is for sure: if PRIEST has a rare summer off this year, you will definitely see me at as many festivals as I can get too. So keep an eye out for me and as usual a good place to look would be in the beer tent!"

Honestly when I think Priest I never think Prog and vice versa.

Priest have always progressed there sound for sure, but when I think Progressive I think Rush and Dream Theater.

Nostradamus itself is a culmination of everything Priest has done up to that point while STILL trying new genres out and expanding on more.
