U2 Concert Evacuated Due To Security Breach

He tweeted on Saturday afternoon, "Spent the last 24 hours in hospital. I've been 'electrocuted' by mic, working, etc. before, but never to the extent of yesterday. Nothing to show from it other than burns on my fingers. Lucky to be alive, but today feel like I was ran over by a truck. Close call for the heart."

This was not the first time that the singer has been hospitalized this summer. The band was forced to cancel their Full Circle Tour in early June after Carlile was hospitalized with heart related issues associated with a genetic disorder called Marfan syndrome. He had surgery a short time later.

The three-hour package includes a number of tracks that have never been played live before, or never previously filmed. A single of Roll The Bones will be released on September 25.

The Rock In Rio date marks Metallica's final scheduled live show of 2015. In between live dates, the group have been in the studio this past year working on the follow-up to 2008's "Death Magnetic."

In April, guitarist Kirk Hammett revealed that he lost hundreds of riff ideas for the band's next album when he lost his phone late last year. "I lost my iPhone containing two hundred and fifty musical ideas," said Hammett. "And I was crushed. It didn't get backed up. And when it happened, I was bummed out for about two or three days. I walked into the house. My wife saw me and she said, 'Uh-oh, what's wrong? Did you get a phone call from a relative?' I said, 'No.' She said, 'What's going on?' I told her, and she understood."

According to the Chicago Tribune, between 15 and 20 neighbors of the Chicago Cubs baseball stadium called a local politician's office to complain about the noise from the sold-out concert.

The NWOBHM giants' first-ever double-length studio release was already confirmed as the UK's top seller. It's also at number 1 in Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

"Thank you to all the fans at @rockinrio tonight," tweeted bassist Nikki Sixx. "What a rush." Motley Crue played a pair of shows in Mexico last week ahead of their Rock In Rio appearance, and will resume the last North American leg of their farewell tour in Hidalgo, TX on October 5 as they head down the home stretch of final live appearances.

He recorded five albums with Anthrax - Sound Of White Noise, Stomp 442, Volume 8: The Threat Is Real, We've Come For You All and The Greater Of Two Evils. But he says he has not been properly compensated for his work or for album sales since he left.

Current Armored Saint frontman Bush tells The Jasta Show: "I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I'm saying it. I'm out there signing Anthrax records I made. I just wanna be paid for the records made and sold.

"I'm super proud of all the music I made in Anthrax, I just wanna be paid for it. I don't even get statements. It was a pain in the butt." Bush says that he is working towards a solution and that he hopes a satisfactory end is in sight.

The deal resulted in the recording of a single called My Bonnie, released under the band name Tony Sheridan And The Beat Brothers. The song impressed Brian Epstein, who went on to become the manager of the band which became The Beatles.

In the early 60s, The Beatles performed at nightclubs in Hamburg, where the contract was signed. They had been backing British singer Tony Sheridan at Hamburg's Top Ten Club.

The band had the following to say, "So sometimes there's good news and sometimes there's not so good news .Today is one of the not so good news days. After three amazing years guitarist Danny Tunker decided he needed to step back from the band and pursue a different path in life. Combining a normal life and day job became too stressful to combine with our heavy schedule and even if we are sad to see him go, we completely understand his decision and support him in doing what makes him happy in life.

"We had 3 great years with Danny and we all felt like a big family so we ask you all to show respect towards both Danny, his decision and the band, there is no bad blood, there is no need for any drama or gossip.

Tunker had the following statement, "After a lot of soul searching for the past few months I've decided to part ways with Aborted. It's been a hell of a ride and I want to thank to guys for all the good, bad and in between times. There's no bad blood and I wish the band all the best, but I needed a change.

"I will still play the shows in Cairo and Tel Aviv and then on to different ventures (several of which I'm working on right now). And of course continue/expand my involvement with Alkaloid.

"So, once again, thanks to the band and everyone who made the past 3+ years completely unforgettable."

The band also revealed their plans to look for his replacement, "We will be trying out several candidates in the next few weeks and fear not, none of the shows will be cancelled. We are working hard on the next full-length album and we have another surprise to be unleashed before the end of the year.

A portion of Third Street between Jackson Avenue and Crump Boulevard is now called B.B. King Boulevard. "We all know about his history, singing and guitars, born into a sharecropper's family on September 16, 1925 in Itta Bena, Mississippi," said Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton. The move is one that is welcomed by the local music community and scene, which is also a huge tourism draw.

The Canadian post-hardcore heroes announced earlier this year that they had reunited for a run of summer festival dates, but they didn't say whether they were back together for good.

The series of shows also marked Clapton's 50 years in the music business and more than 200 performances at The Royal Albert Hall. The Deluxe Edition contains the DVD and 2CDs of the 2015 show plus a bonus DVD of Clapton performances at the Royal Albert Hall across the years.

The Cream Farewell Tour from 1968, the Journeyman tour from 1990, a UN Benefit Concert performance with Zucchero from 2004, the Cream Reunion shows from 2005 and a Prince's Trust Benefit performance from 2010 are all included and packaged with a 12"x12" 60 page hardback photobook.

The group have previewed the new album with the release of the lead single, "Arrow Of Time", and its follow-up, "Guardian." Queensryche are currently playing dates with Scorpions on the German group's fall North American tour.

The band recorded the follow-up to 2013's Halo Of Blood as a four-piece, following the departure of guitarist Roope Latvala in May. Frontman Alexi Laiho said: "It was more work for me obviously, because I was working double shifts with the guitars. I didn't mind - if anything, I think it sounds tighter than ever.

Soulfly mainman Max Cavalera says: "I'm really excited to announce that Mike Leon is going to be playing bass on our upcoming North American tour. I'm a big fan of Mike's work and having him in Soulfly is going to bring some of the killer thrash metal vibe to the band. He's a great guy and I can't wait to be on stage tearing it up with Mike. See you in the pit."

Frontman Jesse Leach says: "Laurie has been our friend and faithful hardworking travel agent for years. She is now battling cancer and she needs our help.

"So we decided to extend a hand to all of you to help us help her. Laurie is the one that ensures we arrive at shows in a timely manner and have adequate accommodations etc. She is a hard-working lady and we are honoured to help her fight.

Frontman Winston McCall spoke to Metal Hammer about why they decided to move away from their metalcore sound on the follow-up to 2012's Atlas. He said: "We had a band meeting, and it turned out all of us were thinking the same thing: none of us would get creative fulfilment out of writing another Parkway metalcore album.

Whether interpreting a Roger Waters' second-person rumination from forty years ago on Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here or singing a verse which wife/lyricist Polly Samson (who also joins us) wrote last night, throughout his long illustrious career David Gilmour has sung the thoughts and observations of others. "It takes thought and it takes concentration," David admits, "I mean you have to live and breathe and believe the words you're saying, and with most of Roger's (Waters) brilliant lyrics and with Polly's lyrics too, I find that I can do that."

Since his first foray apart from Pink Floyd in 1978, Rattle That Lock is only Gilmour's fourth solo venture, and his first since 2006's On An Island. On Rattle That Lock Gilmour gets his groove on with the song "Today", flirts with pop on the catchy title track, reminds us all of the human toll of war with "In Any Tongue" , and may be a Grammy contender for instrumental of the year with "And Then...".

Speaking to InTheStudio host Redbeard, David Gilmour addresses perhaps the single most divisive yet insidious human response. "I think there is still an enormous amount of prejudice against all sorts of people, women, people of different sexual orientation, religions. The world is rife with prejudice still and we're deluded if we think it's gone away... I think it will take centuries for a lot of the prejudice at the core of people's being to go away."

Uglier Than They Used Ta Be - their first full-length studio album since 1996's Motel California, was released on Friday (September 18) thanks to a successful PledgeMusic campaign.

In an interview on Australian television, Bach tells The Morning Show: "The craziest tour I did was with a band called Pantera. They were the craziest.

He tells Top Guitar: "It was one of those fun challenges to record, which is cool. It's nice to have that after all these years, especially after all the records we've made together - to feel challenged. So it was cool. It's incredibly good. I'm excited for people to hear it."

King says: "We had three days off in Athens. We lost a show in Turkey because of political unrest so we went straight to Greece and I went, 'You know what, I'm gonna use this time to write a song.'

Those singles include Serpent's Kiss, Wasteland, Tower Of Strength, Butterfly On A Wheel and Beyond The Pale. The anthology also has remixes and previously unreleased edits.

The singer confirmed in August that work had begun on their seventh studio album, with the band posting a picture of them in the studio earlier this month.

He tells Guitar World Magazine (via Blabbermouth): "Before the end of the year, we'll certainly be working on writing a lot, but I don't see us recording it.

"I think we're going to make serious headway. The thing about us is we don't use a calendar. That's the only quantifier we use. It's the only rule we carved out when we got back together."

The band say of the track: "The last two years have been a relentless whirlwind in many ways, and we wanted to try and write a song that captured the intense end of that spectrum.

The group opened their 2-hour set with "One Vision" from 1986's "A Kind Of Magic" and delivered one hit after another from one of rock's deepest song catalogues. The show included covers of Lambert's solo single, "Ghost Town", and guitarist Brian May's solo tune, "Last Horizon."

"Rock In Rio...you smashed it!," tweeted the band. "WOW can you sing!" Joining Queen on the event's opening night bill were One Republic and The Script.

Queen's appearance marked the band's return after opening the inaugural event in 1985 with original lead singer Freddie Mercury. The band's opening night on January 11, 1985 at Rio's custom built City of Rock exploded the record books, drawing an audience of over 250,000. The band's second appearance on January 18 brought their total Rock in Rio audience beyond 500,000.

In the video, Banks - recipient of this year's Prog God Award at the Progressive Music Awards - explains his reasoning for the release of the "A Chord Too Far" box set.

In an ever changing industry plagued by mediocrity of content and increasing economic difficulties, metal music is in dire need of a revitalization. Metaspherical delivers this thoroughly by not only rejecting said difficulties, but forging a new path for musicians and their working methods alike.

The project began with the intention of showing how artists from around the world could play together despite occupying different countries or subgenres of metal. To do this, help was enlisted from some of the most accomplished names in metal worldwide. As of now, featured artists include former and present members from such bands as, Atheist, Cynic, Death, King Diamond, Origin, Steve Vai, Testament, Voivod, & Zimmer's Hole as well as some mind-blowingly talented lesser known artists. All these incredible contributors originate from or currently reside in a plethora of countries including Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Cuba, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden, ,,,, , and the United States. Together, these musicians and artists bring aspects of many different subgenre's of metal to the table to assemble a much more enormous picture - a collection of music only worthy of a true brotherhood of metal.

From the words of Metaspherical's guitarist/creator Jason Morley, "the way that this first track came together for the global metal project was not something you could plan and truly took on its own destiny....... I was really wanting to get back into playing metal a few year after my head injury, but couldn't find the kind of musicians to play the music I was envisioning, in the small city that I live in. So....... I thought it would be a bit of a shot in the dark, but why don't I ask my friend Gene Hoglan(Dark Angel/Strapping Young Lad/Testament), whom I knew since being a teenager growing up in the metal scene around Vancouver, If he'd have time to record a bit of music with me. Gene was very booked up that summer, but had a couple days off from a recording session with Fear Factory in L.A. & went out of his way to fly to Vancouver & laid down some unreal drum tracks. A couple weeks after this, I randomly connected with a few members of the band "Atheist" through social media & we agreed to meet up in Edmonton when they were headlining a festival there. A real great relationship developed between myself and their lead singer Kelly Shaefer( Atheist/Neurotica), & a bit of time after this I came down to Sarasota, Florida & we worked on & recorded vocals for this track. Whilst there, I met an amazingly talented young bassist named Travis Morgan who was playing with Atheist at the time. We also developed a great friendship & he recorded bass for this 1st track & other things we've worked on @ his studio in New York. So The song still needed a killer lead to go with it & after a bit of time had past, I came across an internet ad for Sonic Train Studios in Sweden that Andy LaRocque(King Diamond/Death) operates. Me & Andy spoke back & forth through email a bit & the rest is history!..... I really hope you enjoy the song!!

Metaspherical and all the musicians involved are very proud to partner with Sweet Relief (sweetrelief.org) for this Global Metal Adventure! When the track is purchased, you are helping raise the money to complete a full-length Metaspherical album, and also, to help aid working musicians who are suffering with physical and mental disabilities.

Morley (who is also Metaspherical's producer) is the survivor of a very severe head injury, which required him to undergo seven brain surgeries and forced him to face some very serious challenges. One of these many challenges was struggling over a long period of time to physically build up dexterity in his hands, as well as having to re-teach himself many aspects of the guitar. Jason had previously studied classical guitar and played heavy metal on electric guitars (without a pick) for well over a decade prior to this accident.

This is just the beginning, as Metaspherical will be looking for many more artists, both known and unknown, to grow this into something much larger where we can give back and help others through the spirit of Heavy Metal.

So join us in casting off the chains of the old conventions and expectations. Join us in this incredibly diverse musical journey. Join us in our - in your - brotherhood of metal. This is Metaspherical.
