White stopped by to see the Tigers at their Lakeland, Florida spring training facility, stopping to chat it up and take pictures with everyone from stars Jose Iglesias to team legend and current special assistant, Alan Trammell.

"We're gonna try and squeeze in whatever we can, probably towards the end of the year," says Puciato. "We've talked about the UK and the US. The UK is a great possibility, because you can play the whole lot in about two weeks, whereas with the US it might be that we do New York and Los Angeles, because we won't have time for a five or six week tour... I just know we're gonna play." Last week the band's Troy Sanders told the Metal Hammer Radio show how much he'd like to play further shows after the band's debut live performance at Soundwave. Watch the full interview here.
The band are sharing footage featuring clips of new music; it's the latest update following video released in December at the start of the project and rhythm track sessions last month. This past week, guitarist Scott Ian made a cameo appearance as a zombie on the latest episode of AMC's zombie apocalypse drama "The Walking Dead." Watch the new studio video here.
Extinct - their follow-up to 2012's Alpha Noir/Omega White - will be available as a two-disc edition, which will contain the full album, along with bonus tracks and a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the album titled Road To Extinction. It will also be issued as a mediabook, limited deluxe edition and on vinyl. Say the band: "It puts the D of darkness back into dark metal. It's a true lesson for the new generations of goth metal about how it's played and felt with body and soul - a lesson taught by no others than our Portuguese gentlemen wolves." Check out the video here.
Journalist and Nirvana fan Jamie Dunkle launched a crowdfunding campaign in the spring of 2014 to buy it and turn it into a Kurt Cobain museum; supporters helped raise a mere $2,385 towards a goal of $700,000 via GoFundMe.com. Now, Aberdeen Realty has a new listing for the 1.5 story, 4 bedroom, 1 bath, 1,522-square-foot home at a reduced price tag of $400k. The Puget Sound Business Journal reports the home is much more expensive than nearby properties due to its legendary former resident; the median price for homes in the east Aberdeen area is $100k.

Websites including Stubhub and Seatwave have been mired in controversy in recent months, with people from many sectors of the music industry calling for action over the way they operate. Criticisms have included the fact that original ticket prices aren't listed alongside the reseller's rate, buyers aren't told about restricted views, and difficulties with contacting sellers over problems. Last month bands including Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden backed the Put Fans First campaign in a bid to have ticket sales laws overhauled. Now the CMA report that resellers have agreed to list original prices, state whether views are restricted, explain whether multiple bookings refer to seats beside each other, full details of additional charges and a contact email address where help can be requested.

Taye Cannon: Physical attraction isn't everything, but it's a very real thing. "Love Maker DeVille" came together during a time when I was trying to bounce back from a little heartache. I was hanging out in downtown Austin, Texas, one morning looking for a little inspiration for a comeback song, when a sight to behold of a woman came down the street and filled me with so much inspiration that I felt resurrected. I looked away and made a deal with myself that I was only gonna take one more look and then jot down the first description that came to my mind, unfiltered, and that would be the name of the song and the chorus. I took one more look and I said to myself, "She was a milk-fed, long-legged, heartbreaker; a fatback Cadillac love maker DeVille." Errol Siegel: When it came time to make a video for this song, we called up our good friends Josh and Nick Holden from Mishnoon. We worked with them on our video for "Try My Love" so we knew whatever they did was going to come out great. We ended up shooting the video at one of our favorite south Austin hangouts, C-Boy's Heart & Soul. The video is mostly about the chase -- the magnetic attraction that can happen from across the room. There was not a whole lot of direction. They (the directors) just set the scene and let the action unfold organically. We were trying to capture the feel of a late-night, after-hours party at C-Boy's, and I think that came together pretty well! Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself as you watch the video here and learn more about the band and the album, plus learn about where they will be playing at this year's SXSW right here!
