Two Bands In Major Tour Bus Crashes

He tells Talk Is Jericho (via Blabbermouth): "We're having a great time - we're still working. It's gonna be a little while. Everybody's got to be patient. But it's coming, and that's the beautiful thing.

Children of Bodom, who were also on the tour along with Syslosis, broke the news to fans but also said that they are trying to continue the trek on their own. They said the following on Thursday, "Lamb of God has chosen to leave the European tour due to security concerns in Europe.

"Our team has been working very hard to make all of the remaining shows happen. We want to, and have decided to, continue on the road and play the rest of the tour.

"Here is what we know so far. Unfortunately the promoter has decided to move forward and cancel tonight's show in Oberhausen, Germany, and the additional shows in Germany.

Following the album's release, Seger intends to launch a "bucket list" tour, marking certain cities and venues like New Orleans Jazz Fest and the Hollywood Bowl off his list.

The singer was commissioned to write the song as the theme for a newly-launched crime series, The Last Panthers, airing on Sky Atlantic in Europe. The 6-episode program, which debuted on November 12, stars Samantha Morton, Tahar Rahim and John Hurt.

The video and TV series are directed by Johan Renck. "I showed Mr. Bowie the two first episodes in the rough state they were at the time, and he liked what he saw very much," says Renck. "We discussed the various aspects of the show; naturally the plot line, but also the underlying currents of guilt and personality flaws.

"We talked about the dark heart of Europe. We talked about the biblical aspects of human nature. He asked if there was anything else to see, so I showed him the first concept board I had just made for the title sequence - images from the show laced with chimaeras and demons from the worlds of Bosch and Grunewald.

The track is one of eight live songs from the band's first-ever concert in Japan at Tokyo's Sun Plaza in 1987 featured on the second disc of the reissue, due on November 20.

Produced by the group with Carl Canedy, the project marked the first Anthrax album to feature singer Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello. The expanded 2-disc reissue presents previously unreleased bonus material including Belladonna's 1984 demo recording of the song "Medusa" and nine "rhythm tracks" from Anthrax recordings also done in 1984.

"We wanted to do something special for our fans to celebrate the anniversary of Spreading The Disease," says drummer Charlie Benante. "We took the idea to Universal a couple of years ago and have been very hands-on with them, creating this special, deluxe edition that we think our fans will really like."

Anthrax will support Lamb Of God on their headlining US tour in the New Year. The 6-week run opens January 15 in Pittsburgh, PA, with dates wrapping up in Los Angeles on February 12.

Alexander worked with a string of other bands, including Saxon, who have launched the new t-shirt and vowed to donate proceeds to a cause approved by Nick's family.

Saxon say: "Nick was a well respected merchandise manager who has worked with many bands worldwide, including Saxon, and will be sorely missed by many friends and colleagues on the road. All profits from the sale of this t-shirt will be donated to a charitable trust as instructed by Nick's family."

It's a bonus song on their latest album Letters From The Labyrinth, which was released last week. Trans-Siberian Orchestra founder Paul O'Neill says: "Over the years I have been able to read and hold in my hands letters from people that have inspired me and left a mark on civilisation. People like Mark Twain, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison and Orville Wright.

1982's "Blackout" debuted at No. 43, 1984's "Love At First Sting" at No. 46, 1985's "World Wide Live" at No. 52, 1979's "Lovedrive" at No. 59; 1978's "Tokyo Tapes" at No. 70 and the "Scorpions Deluxe Vinyl Box Set" enters at No. 97.

The group played "When I Was A Boy" from their newly-released album "Alone In The Universe" on the broadcast and the classic tune as a web exclusive.

Formed in Birmingham, UK in 1970, Electric Light Orchestra scored hits in the 70s as a modern rock group with overtones of classical music, including "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic", "Telephone Line" and "Don't Bring Me Down", among others.

ELO members went their separate ways in 1986, with drummer Bev Bevan carrying on as "ELO Part II" before selling his half of the rights to the ELO brand to Lynne in early 2000.

Encouraged by the success of a 2000 box set entitled "Flashback", Lynne released "Zoom" in 2001, marking the band's first official release since 1986's "Balance Of Power."

Responding to guitarist Rage who says: "Don't be fooled by pale imitations," Cronos was quick to go into more depth. He tells Metal Rules: "Check out the real Venom. We know that there's been some sites who've been putting our photographs and our Venom logo up for a whole load of dates that don't have anything to do with us.

"Venom play one-off shows, and that's the way we've always done it. And we like to have it as big and as best as we can. We don't do little club tours - that's never been the Venom way. We're trying to contact some of these sites to say, 'Look, you're misrepresenting the band.'"

Directed by Simon Emmett, the clip presents a vintage holiday video vibe for the upbeat tune. The expanded "Last Of Our Kind" reissue also includes new tracks "Messenger", "Always Had The Blues" and "Million Dollar Strong."

His comments come after consumers' association Which? accused secondary sales websites of breaching rules, as the government prepares to end a public consultation on the matter.

Goldsmith cites the example of tickets to U2's recent London show, which had an official price of �182 but could be found on resale sites for �3300. He tells the BBC: "We're asking the government to pass a law which says you cannot sell a ticket for more than 10% of its face value."

Association of Independent Festivals boss Paul Reed says some sites are guilty of fraud. He says: "I don't think 'parasitic' is too strong a word for the secondary industry. This is an industry that's been allowed to grow on the back of the creative arts without reinvesting anything.

Lee says: "This dark version of U2's immortal song was playing in my head as I woke up one morning. I was lingering in that half-awake, half-asleep place, with no images - just darkness, this song, and huge emotions. As I was becoming conscious I just kept thinking, 'don't let it go, don't forget.' I went straight upstairs and laid down the synth and basic vocal."

Frontman Tomas Lindberg said of their fifth record: "The start of the writing process was a little bit scary when we tried out the direction, but as soon as things started to come together I wanted this to be the ultimate At The Gates record and it proved to be just that."

Speaking about the track, frontman Jonny Hawkins quotes author Steve Marabolli, and says: "'As I look back on my life, I realise that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.'

He tells MusicRadar: "I'm grateful people are responding to what I do, but I temper that by understanding that music is not a contest and I don't think anyone is the greatest thing.

"Your goal, once you get deep enough into it, should be just to compete with yourself. You should want to be better than the old you was - other people shouldn't come into it.

The Canadians' second record is an all-instrumental work after guitarist and composer Aaron Marshall found himself the only remaining member from the previous lineup.

Fable features a guest appearance by BadBadNotGood saxophonist Leland Whitty. Marshall tells TeamRock: "The main theme almost feels like you could picture a flute or even bagpipes playing it. The song is also a perpetual exploration and juxtaposition of two varying time feels, which sort of creates a journey.

The headline trek will take the group through California and Arizona, kicking off in Los Angeles and wrapping in San Francisco. Tickets for this run of dates go on sale this Friday.

The album was originally self-released on CD in June of 1999 and introduced to retail by Elektra in November of 2000.The Siket Disc contains 35 minutes of almost entirely instrumental, live-in-the-studio improvisation recorded by its namesake, engineer John Siket.

The music was culled by Phish keyboardist Page McConnell from The Story of the Ghost sessions that took place in 1997 at Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York.

Highlighting the band's millennial, sometimes-ambient explorations of the time, The Siket Disc yielded a few songs that have since been incorporated into live shows including "What's The Use?", "My Left Toe", "The Happy Whip and Dung Song", and even the vocoder soundscape of "Quadrophonic Toppling".

The Brighton prog metal quartet's record is now available for pre-order in digital, signed CD and signed vinyl editions, complete with an instant download of Saviour.

The new music for the "Fall Of Man" title track was directed by White Hills' Ego Sensation and the video clip also features members of the band Dommengang.

Queen's Brian May has given frontman Nathan James, bassist Colin Parkinson, drummer Phil Beaver and guitarists Will Taylor and Andreas Zata Eriksson his seal of approval after hearing some of the band's material.

He's been off the road while recovering from emergency surgery that took place in June. Asked by an ill fan for encouragement, Carlile says via Twitter: "If I can do it, so you can you. I'm also having surgery soon - hip and back.

The song originally appeared on the group's fifth album, "A Farewell To Kings", which peaked at No. 33 on the US Billboard 200. "R40 Live" presents Rush live in concert in their hometown of Toronto over two nights this past June.

On the album, Lydon previously told TeamRock: "We were all gagging at the bit to get in and just enjoy each other's company. And this is the end result. That's not to say that we're perfect human beings. We had arguments, but they always led to good things.

The band's label, House Of Mythology, say: "By shaking up their creative process, the band have summoned up a unique testimony to the creative power of a mighty force who remain blissfully free of genre or convention.

It'll be released via Esoteric Recordings and will also include the tracks Why Don't We and The Fool On The Hill. The EP will follow the launch of a Sky 2CD anthology entitled Toccata, which is out on November 27th
