Exodus Fan Arrested For Posting Lyrics On Facebook

"'Black Dog' is obviously one of the songs that Led Zeppelin is really noted for," guitarst Jimmy Page tells Rolling Stone. "It's one of the powerhouse numbers that we did with an incredible riff. The version on the companion disc is a rough mix in its early stage with minimal guitar overdubs and Robert's original vocal. And you can hear how mean it is."

The breakup began with guitarist Emil Werstler announcing on Monday (September 1st) that it was necessary for him to leave the group "in order to take the next step in [his] career."

On Tuesday, the remaining members of the group, Matt Szlachta, Sean Zatorsky, Jeremy Creamer and Austin D'Amond, issued the following statement to Theprp.com, "In light of recent news, the rest of the band have decided to part ways with Chimaira. For us this was a great stepping stone, and an honor to play these songs live, and fulfill an incredible legacy.

"This was an an excellent platform to help continue playing music, when our collective bands either ended or went on a hiatus. Chimaira was an amazing experience and we look forward to future music endeavors with each other."

"I have been performing during the last few months with a pretty intense double hernia but you gotta give 100% even through the pain onstage," posted Sixx.

"The good news is yesterday I got surgery on both sides and it went really really well. My lovely wife, kids and Leica have been really taking care of me. I should be up and kicking ass in a few weeks and back in the gym/tour in 6 weeks. Looking forward to seeing you all back out on the road..

"PS..Holy Jesus, it feels like I got kicked in the stomach by a horse," he added. "They gave me some pain meds but I am trying to not take them and luckily Courtney Bingham-Sixx looks pretty hot in her nurse outfit�"

"Leg 1 of the KISS Def Lep Tour is over and ended spectacularly in Houston with a record, sold out concert," posted bassist Gene Simmons. "Thanks to our road crew for making it all possible. They break their backs every day to put on a show for the fans."

The benefit concert will see a star-studded lineup that includes The Cabin Down Below Band with Brian Wilson, Norah Jones, Brandon Flowers & Mark Stoermer of The Killers, Ann Wilson of Heart, Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips, Britt Daniel of Spoon, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Nick Valensi of The Strokes, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Dhani Harrison, Butch Walker, Ian Astbury of The Cult, Cold War Kids, Karen Elson, Brian Bell of Weezer, Big Black Delta, Chase Cohl, Jamestown Revival, Matt Sorum, Ryan Miller of Guster, The Black Ryder Gingger Shankar and many more surprise guests.

"George Fest" has been created in celebration of the September 22 (sep 23 in North America) release of "George Harrison: The Apple Years 1968-1975" box set.

Now she faces a battle to save her 200-year-old home, which she bought in 2005 for a reported �2.5m. Last year, a huge landslide caused a section of the area close the singers's home to collapse and officials have now warned fellow Kingsbridge residents that unless costly re-enforcements are put in place, the area could be under threat again.

Steve Gardner of Devon County Council tells the Exeter Express: "If you live there, you can either accept it and let your house fall into the sea, or you can take action to prevent further damage - although it can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds."

The film is narrated by Lita Ford and includes interviews with Slash, Lemmy, Bill Ward, Jerry Cantrell, Nikki Sixx, Zakk Wylde and many others.

Entitled The Life, Blood And Rhythm Of Randy Castillo, the movie tracks the life and times of the Native American musician, who died of cancer aged 51 in 2002.

Director Wynn Ponder says: "It's been a magical journey working with Lita and interviewing Randy's bandmates, family and friends. But the real story is about how Randy's generous spirit never changed, even when his formidable musical talent made him the first internationally famous Apache rock and roll drummer.

"Randy Castillo was that rare creature known as a 'good man.' He was a confidante and a close friend to many, compassionate and caring with everyone he met."

Their self-titled record will be released on September 15 via Magna Carta and they've launched a promo for the track By The Rainbow's End. See it below.

Moore says: "It's a very interesting project - I don't think I've ever done anything quite like this. I got an email saying, 'How would you like to play with this bass player who's also a great singer?'

"I found out it was Kelly, who I knew was a great singer but I didn't know he played bass and keyboards. Not only does he play bass and keyboards, he plays them both very well."

Tate - who will now perform under the name Operation: Mindcrime after settling a long-running dispute with his former Queensryche bandmates - played his final show using the name in Illinois, USA.

And just before the last song of the set, Tate told the crowd: "Hey guess what, this is our last show as Qeeensryche tonight. We can no longer use the name or the TriRyche symbol, so I'm going to cut this from my belt right now." Tate then held up the symbol and said "goodbye."

The singer gave the following update in an interview Robbs Metalworks: "We're writing the record right now - hopefully it'll be out March next year. And it's gonna be some good stuff."

Billy, who makes a guest appearance on the upcoming Exodus album, also discusses his work with music management company Breaking Bands LLC. The firm represents Texas metal outfit Shattered Sun as well as Exodus.

The career-spanning film features contributions from Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips, among others.

It also includes archive performance footage. Director John Edginton explores the dynamic between the members that's enabled them to survive numerous line-up changes while also pursuing various solo careers.

The song is the third single lifted from the album, with tracks Stars and Gotta Get It Right previously taken from their third album which is set for release next momth.

Included on Modern Vintage is a cover of The Cars 1985 track Drive, which bassist Nikki Sixx says was the perfect track for the band to cover. He said: "The song is so loved by so many people, including us, that we really wanted to pay a real tribute to it, and I believe we have."

Kotzen tells Icon Vs Icon: "When we got together, in my mind I was thinking it would be a cool diversion from what I have been doing lately. I thought perhaps we will make a cool record. Perhaps we will do a handful of key market shows in Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles and London and that would be the end of it.

"I thought I would go back to what I was doing and a few years later we would reconvene and do something else. I remember we were making a connection from Japan to somewhere in Latin America and when we got off the plane there was an email from our manager that said our record just charted on the Top 200 at No.27. All of us were blown away. None of us expected that.

The artist reached the milestone on August 31, and the show opens on September 23, running until October 19. It's set to include many of his original paintings, watercolours, drawings, sketches and prints - many on display for the first time. Work by his daughter Freyja will also be featured.

Frontman Andy Biersack previously said the album was going to have a "heavy, traditional rock 'n' roll" vibe and revealed producer Bob Rock was the perfect fit for the band.

He told Rock Sound: "Bob was a great fit. So many of the records that influenced us or that we loved growing up were produced by him. It was something we'd been talking about for the last year, and when we found out Bob was interested, it was a nice coincidence."

Frontman Tomas Lindberg tells Decibel: "We could easily go out and continue touring the old stuff for quite a while, but this is us putting ourselves on the line here. And we do that because we feel we need to do it. This material is too strong to say 'no' to."

Shinn, who replaced Ed Kowalczyk in 2012, had this to say: "There was never really a question of if we could do it, it was simply how loud are we going to do it?"

Included in the four European dates for November is a show at London's Koko. Guitarist Chad Taylor says: "It was essential that Live push itself beyond what we've done in our past while also holding true to the values that so many fans love about the band."

He tells the Detroit Free Press: "I think the band needs to have a unified concept of what Aerosmith is to our fans. Without trying to pander and do market research, we need to get closer to understanding our history and the band that the world wants Aerosmith to be.

"I think it's a combination of the stuff we did in the 70s when we really started learning the studio, like the Toys In The Attic album and the Rocks album, and then some from the later era of the band, when we did Pump and Permanent Vacation. I think those albums describe what this band is about musically."

It is the group's second album, coming 23 years after debut offering After The Fire. Ziller tells Rock Overdose: "Well, EZ Livin never was disintegrated, it just was in a very long sleep. And the idea of the reunion of EZ Livin was in my mind for years.

"I also had a lot of songs written which I couldn't do with Bonfire. So when there was a five-month break of Bonfire from October last year on, I spontaneously decided to look for musicians to make everything real. I had songs and we were writing new ones during the recordings."

"They are not releasing their album on the iPhone, and they are not performing at the iPhone launch," a spokesperson for the Irish band said in a statement.

These rumors seem to have begun at, appropriately, Macrumors, where one Stephen Browne apparently stumbled upon a music video shoot for U2 (which included a director Mark Romanek sighting), with the music promoter claiming that the footage centered around a mobile device.

Footage of the group's soundcheck of their 1991 classic, "Rusty Cage", on Wednesday has also made it online. Soundgarden were joined in their hometown for the NFL launch by Pharrell Williams, who also played live outside the stadium as part of a celebration to mark the 10th ceremony honoring the defending Super Bowl champions with the League's opening game in their stadium on primetime.

The Seattle rockers just wrapped up a summer tour of North America with Nine Inch Nails. Soundgarden are next scheduled to perform dates on the Soundwave festival tour of Australia in February.

As with his past releases, on this new studio album Kravitz plays guitar, bass, keyboards and drums and percussion on the project, and produced and arranged it as well.

"This record brought me back to a place of what I love so much about music, back to the feelings I had when I was in high school," he explains. "It's a real rock & roll record - it's raw, it's got soul and it came together really quickly."

Slash had a surreal experience with the project recently, according to bassist Todd Kerns. "I went with Slash, Cheryl and Junior to see the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie as part of Junior's early birthday celebrating," posted Kerns on his blog.

"During the previews, they played the new SpongeBob movie trailer where, lo and behold, in the middle of it who should appear but Slash playing guitar on the beach. All this to the throes of 'Welcome To The Jungle' raging on the soundtrack. Junior and I just looked at each other and started laughing. Here we are in a theater full of people sitting with the guy who is on the big screen, playing guitar on the song they are hearing and they are completely unaware. So surreal. This is life on Planet Slash..."

The frontman delivers rather than sings the Iron Maiden classic, pausing halfway through the performance to ask the crowd: "Do you know the words to this?"

Di'Anno recently confirmed he'd ditched plans to retire after successful leg surgery meant he was able to keep performing. He said: "I spoke to the wife and she said, 'Oh, my God - if you stay home for two months I'll probably murder you.' So I decided in the end, 'F*** it.'"

The new live video comes from Di'Anno's upcoming release The Beast Arises, shot in Poland earlier this year, which will be released on October 6th in Europe and October, 7th in North America on DVD. A CD and double LP vinyl release will be released in early December.

White resurrected one of his old songs for La Blogoth�que, appearing on the show to perform the White Stripes' 2001 White Blood Cells track, "The Same Boy You've Always Known," and a more recent song, "Entitlement," from his solo album Lazaretto, which came out earlier this year.

Performing alongside a cellist, banjo player and violinist in Paris' Ch�teau de Fontainebleau's Saint-Saturnin Chapel, White gives especially stripped down renditions of both songs, without using a microphone.

In the video, directed by Colin Solal Cardo, we also get a tour of the Chapel's gorgeous grounds as White meanders through them while playing his guitar.

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, the Nine Inch Nails frontman spoke about his recent work with Ross on Fincher's upcoming film Gone Girl, and gave a strange and pretty awesome glimpse into his creative process.

According to Reznor, "[Fincher] said, 'Think about the really terrible music you hear in massage parlors. The way that it artificially tries to make you feel like everything's OK. And then imagine that sound starting to curdle and unravel.'"

Fincher remembers this conversation a little differently, noting, "I said a spa, not a massage parlor! � I was listening to that calming, placating music and thought, we need to tap into this. The movie is about the facade of the good neighbor, the good Christian, the good wife. So the notion was to start with music that's attempting to give you a hug."

The band were filmed in the spectacular surroundings of the Arena di Verona, a Roman amphitheatre originally built in 30 AD. The 2011 concert sees Deep Purple joined on stage by the German Neue Philarmonic Orchestra for performances of all their classic tracks.

The group recently wrapped up a month-long series of dates across North America. Dee Purple have also been working on new music for the follow-up to 2013's "NOW What?!" album.

There's a kidnapping, a fatal ending and dancing in the middle of the Los Angeles river. - which is to say, the whole thing is pretty surreal. The video comes a year after the track "Cigarette Daydreams" was released on Cage the Elephant's 2013 album, Melophobia.

"Cigarette Daydreams" was initially shared by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney on his personal Twitter account. The two bands are going on tour together this fall, starting today.

Daily Game reports the trailer, called "Become Legend" and directed by Joseph Kosinski, is comprised of live action and not in-game footage. The clip shows a Fireteam of Guardians on a road trip across the Solar System; their goal, as in the game, is to face humanity's enemies, take back what's ours and become legend.

A 90-second version of the trailer will air during the NFL kickoff on NBC Thursday night. Destiny ships for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 9.

We started writing 'Electric Sky' already before recording the last album. The monotonous guitar riff was born when Nicki (drums) and I were fooling around jamming on the piano after a rehearsal. We played the kind of naive, childish octaves very rhythmically and made up funny melodies. The chorus was totally different at the time. It wasn't even close to perfect then but we felt it had a lot of potential so we decided to take the time to make it perfect.

We worked a lot on the beat and feel we found a cool groove that fits Mia's delicious voice and melodies perfectly. We wanted to write a song you can dance to and this is probably as disco as Crucified Barbara will ever get.

Writing and playing music is sometimes like a force of nature. The creativity and energy feel almost supernatural. It's like the northern lights, it feels magical but it is actually happening. That beautiful feeling is our Electric Sky.

So... You wanna dance or headbang? It doesn't matter, to this song you can do both.
