 Alice
in Chains Return |
antiMusic reports: We promised to keep you
updated on this story, here is the latest. The admin of Jerry Cantrell's
official website posted an update about the Alice in Chains reunion. Although
he doesn't spill the beans about who will be taking over vocal duties for
the late Layne Staley, he does confirm that the band will reunite for the
Nova Rock festival and drops a hint that more shows may be booked. Here
is his posting:
I hate to keep on saying, this but as most
of you have heard Alice will be performing at Nova Rock in Austria. This
is true. Alice is back.
Europe is a long way to go for just one
show, so I feel that we are going to have a lot more to do. [see full story

Download |
antiMusic reports: It's now official. Guns
N' Roses will indeed be playing the Download Festival. This year's installment
of the popular UK music festival will take place June 9th through 11th
at Donington Park in Leicestershire. Also slated to appear: Metallica,
The Prodigy, The Deftones, Korn, Trivium, Clutch and Bullet for My Valentine.
Now that we know GNR are playing out once
again we have to wonder who is in the band? Could it be the classic line-up
of the group? Rock photographer Ross Halfin posted the following on his
official website on Feb 3, "the original lineup [of GNR] is supposed to
play Download in June with their metal chums, Metallica." Halfin's post
came a few days before Metallica were officially announced as part of the
English festival but he quickly removed the post from his site according
to Blabbermouth.
For news on the other festivals GNR have
lined up check out yesterday's story at the full story link.

Vs Sony |
CMJ reports: The ongoing Digital Rights Management
rootkit debacle that's landed Sony BMG in a bottomless pit of controversy
has now led to the possibility of government intervention in the matter,
which could take the shape of a government ban on DRM rootkits. An official
at the Department Of Homeland Security has called for potential legislation
that could be used against companies, such as Sony, that sell products
containing the software, which installs itself on one's computer without
the user's knowledge and leaves it vulnerable to intrution. [see full story

Enemy DVD Details |
Arch Enemy reports: Michael Amott offers an
update on the Arch Enemy DVD: "Well, weve actually been keeping busy and
focused during our time home since the holidays. A lot of effort has gone
into working on the first ever Arch Enemy DVD, LIVE APOCALYPSE which
is now very near completion. The DVD is shaping up to be an ultra cool
2-disc affair and I honestly couldnt be happier with it. The main show
is from the Forum in London, U.K (December 04) and we also have footage
from Manchester, U.K in December 05 (therell be 3 songs included from
that). It goes without saying that theres tons of extras/special features
as there should be!

of Cabin Fever Media...."[see full story for more plus some video &
