Blabbermouth Reports: 

Korn have set a tentative title of “Untouchables” for their next studio album, which is set to hit stores on May 14th on Immortal/Epic Records.
 
Ratt lead guitarist and drummer Bobby Blotzer won a legal battle for the rights to the “Ratt” name in a California court on Wednesday (Feb 6). 

According to the press release “Judge David Workman dismissed former lead singer Stephen Pearcy's claims for trademark infringement, unfair competition, defamation, misappropriation of corporate assets and breach of fiduciary duty, and held that Pearcy was in fact engaging in unfair competition against his former bandmates by using the trademark in connection with his unauthorized RATT tour.” 

“The Court ruled that Pearcy's claims were meritless because WBS, Inc., RATT's touring entity, is the sole and exclusive owner of the RATT trademarks. The Court further ruled that Pearcy has engaged in unfair competition by continuing to tour, without authorization, as "RATT featuring Stephen Pearcy" after he left the band. An injunction requiring Pearcy to cease and desist  from using the RATT trademarks and an order requiring him to turn over the profits earned from his unauthorized RATT tour are forthcoming.”

RATT's current line-up includes original members DeMartini and Blotzer as well as vocalist Jizzy Pearl (LOVE/HATE), guitarist John Corabi (MOTLEY CRUE) and Robbie Crane on bass. 

Ozzfest 2002 Europe? 

According to a Blabbermouth report, Ozzfest organizers are in talks with European promoters to hold a European Ozzfest this summer before the tour heads to North America. Blabbermouth reports that sources have already stated that Ozzfest organizers have “already lined up a May 26th show in Ireland at the Punchestown Race Course near Dublin, while a concert at Castle Donnington in England is in the works for June. In addition, an appearance at the Goffertpark in Nijmegen, Holland on June 1st is reportedly close to being wrapped up.” 

KNAC.com reports:

Slayer’s Tom Araya lost his father to a heart attack on Wednesday night (Feb 6). Thursday’s show at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas was cancelled and it is unclear whether the band will cancel additional dates on their current tour.  antiMUSIC wishes to express our deepest sympathies to Tom and his family. 
 

Melodicrock.com reports: 

Could it be? A supergroup featuring Sammy Hagar, Neal Schon (Journey), Slash and possibly Van Halen’s Michael Anthony is in the works? Melodicrock.com seems to think so as they are reporting that Hager, Schon and Slash are planning to team up with Deen Castronovo and Anthony for the new project following their commitments for this summer. Melodicrock.com warns “Don't expect any official announcements for this group for a little while yet!”

Meanwhile Slash told his fans via his website Snakepit.org that this is not a done deal. So we wait and see.
