Injury |
Press Release reports: After playing multiple
shows wearing a brace and taking anti-inflamatory injections, Tommy Lee's
doctor instructed him to give his injured right hand wrist a break after
his tendonitis made it difficult for him to perform. Tendonitis is a common
and painful injury for drummers who pound the skins with great force. Mötley
Crüe has played to over a million fans this year in over 100 shows
of their wildly successful Carnival of Sins tour.
Instead of canceling their show, Mötley
Crue decided to give a fan a chance and share the wealth of rock stardom[see

| Hellokisspig |
Peta reports: Their sound may defy definition�it's
been called everything from indie synth to power pop to rock-dance-roll�but
there's no mistaking the direction of Hellogoodbye, and that's straight
skyward. Despite being booked solid on tours through the end of April,
lead singer Forrest Kline took time out of his busy schedule to shoot a
pro-vegan public service announcement for peta2�PETA's Youth Division.
The PSA shows Forrest kissing a giant "pig" (someone in a bright pink pig
costume) next to the tagline "Love Animals, Don't Eat Them. Go Vegan."
Forrest also had some choice things to say about why he went vegetarian
during an exclusive interview.
"There's virtually no reason to eat animals,
and I can think of dozens of reasons to go veggie. You'll feel better about
yourself physically and morally," says Forrest, who recommends the great
vegan food at his three favorite restaurants in Orange County: Native Foods,
Taco Loco, and Ian's Health Bar. "Where we are now, there are so many options
with what you can eat. You don't have to take a life to survive. It's not
like we're cavemen!"[see full story for more]- Click

| Atreyu
Top 10 |
Victory reports: Southern California's Atreyu
have much to celebrate as they cross the country on Taste of Chaos Tour
in support of their new album, A Death-Grip On Yesterday, which debuted
at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 with 68,664 in sales. The album enjoys the
#1 spot on the Independent Chart while their last release, The Curse, is
at #38. Rock radio is awakening to the phenomenal single, "Ex's and Oh's":
KROQ-LA added the song this week, joining stations in markets like Seattle,
Nashville, Boston and Detroit. As this month's cover boys for metal bible
Revolver, a bloody, controversial photo shoot caused outrage in the offices
of Wal-Mart who objected to the images of Atreyu's severed heads on a platter.
The band is also featured in the current issue of Alternative Press and
will be reviewed in the next issue of Rolling Stone, who called them the
"Hot New Metal Band" during the summer of 2004. Atreyu were guests on Fuse
TV's Steven's Untitled Rock Show and Tattoo Stories, and the latest video
premiered on AOL Music and is spinning on MTV2 Headbanger's Ball as well
as Steven's Untitled Rock Show on Fuse.[see full story for more]-
