Nickelback Won't Be Used As Drunk Driving Punishment After All

He suffered the injury after falling off stage in June 2015, leading to the cancellation of a handful of concerts before Grohl returned to action with the help of a custom-made throne.

The idea for the contraption came to the bandleader in a drugged-up dream, and was built with the help of a roadie. It later became part of the Guns N' Roses reunion shows this year after Axl Rose broke his foot.

Drummer Hawkins tells the NME: "It was a bummer all round. Dave almost pulverised his entire f***ing leg. Missing Glastonbury was part of that bummer.

"We were excited to get out there, do our march through Wembley then Glastonbury headlining. We were set to pop - then Dave breaking his leg was a kick in the nuts.

"The song has scared us since we were children," Melvins King Buzzo told Stereogum. "That's why we wanted to do it." Carol Of The Bells may sound like the tough matriarch from that family a few streets away, but it's actually the title of a song which will ramp up your anxiety levels during what some optimists have described as the 'most wonderful time of the year'.

Among the victims is Cash Askew, a founder of Them Are Us Too, a dream-pop band signed to the independent Dais Records label. The company confirmed her death in a statement.

He tells The Ex Man podcast (via The PRP): "If there's no Fear Factory reunion happening I'm definitely going to be back on tour next year. I just finished a record with Sen Dog from Cypress Hill. He's doing a metal band - it's like hardcore, metal, hip-hop all infused. We just wrote 14 songs.

The official Twitter account for the Nobel Prize revealed the news early Monday morning (Dec. 5). Dylan's on-again off-again relationship with the Nobel Prize has been well documented with an acknowledgement on his website that was promptly taken down.

The popstar launched the trek back in March and has now extended until August of 2017 with the new handful of dates kicking off at the Rose Bowl on August 5th.

'I know there are a lot of great events being planned to help the people of East Tennessee, however, I am planning a telethon to support the 'My People Fund' where 100 percent of the money will help those who lost their homes in the wildfire. I am planning on doing this on December 13 in Nashville, Tennessee," the singer says.

The laid back track features a heavily auto-tuned West who offers up big brag after big brag. Although he doesn't mention his wife Kim Kardashian's name in the track, West boasts that most women have to spend a lot of money to look as good as she does. The song's message is all about buying the perfect body if you're not born with one, and if you're not born with one then the three rappers are throwing some serious shade.

AFI kicks things off in Los Angeles on January 20th, and they'll stay on the road for one month until they wrap things up in San Diego on February 20th. Every ticket comes with a free download of The Blood Album.

When it came to working on new music, the band wrote way more songs than they ended up included on their 14-track album. "Historically, we always write far beyond an album's worth of material," vocalist Davey Havok said about working together on The Blood Album.

In an interview with NME discussing his new album, W:/2016ALBUM/, Deadmau5 recalls kicking that fan to the ground and later fearing that he had paralyzed or killed him.

"So I'm playing live, up in the Cube [his booth]. I've got this LED helmet on, I'm six foot in the air, I can barely see," he said. "All of a sudden I hear my manager screaming in my earpiece, and I feel someone grabbing at my waist. This kid has somehow climbed up into the Cube."

The new production feels closer to a Chance the Rapper track, and that could be because he's collaborated with The Social Experiment in the past. Segal teams up with fellow Social Experiment player Nate Fox to round out that interpretation.

Wackerman is the band's third sticksman since the death of Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan in 2009, with Mike Portnoy appearing on 2010's Nightmare and Ilejay taking the stool for 2013's Hail To The King.

Frontman Shadows tells That's Not Metal: "We wouldn't have made this change unless we knew it was the right decision. We spent a long time, and we took heat from people that don't know the situation, like, 'Oh, changing drummers again.'

"From the outside, we knew that was going to be an issue. But on the inside we were making the adjustments we knew were going to get us to the point to where we can put out something we're proud of."

He describes Wackerman, who's older than his colleagues, as "a guy we can throw ideas at, a smart guy, a great guy to be around, and just a fantastic drummer."

Davis tells The Sixx Sense radio show (via Blabbermouth): "I need to have a song completely done. I guess I'm a little diva when it comes to that stuff! It dictates what I'm going to be feeling, emotions, everything. I need that. I need to have that landscape to inspire me to do what I do. Once the music is all done, I know exactly where to place my vocals and fill the holes and do all of that to make it work. I guess it's backwards."

He continues: "I am the last one always on the record to be done. They give me a window of two weeks. Also, being a father over the years, I take care of the boys all the time.

Depp was a special guest at the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour in Tokyo and he gave a frank, in-depth interview to Classic Rock. It features in the current issue of Classic Rock magazine, which is available now in print and via TeamRock+.

Depp says: "When you're playing though it's not remembering lines or serving the scene, or serving the script or whatever, the vision. On stage, it's the same sort of thing, you're still serving - you're serving the song but more you're serving the moment.

"I think every actor should walk into a scene with the idea that this could f***ing fail miserably. I think it's important to take those risks. It should be scary. You've got a f***ing character that you've come up with and you believe in, and you feel a very strong foundation of this character beneath you.

"My problem's very simple. If you listen, you'll agree. It's just that I love you more than you love me." So simple and yet here we all are loving someone more than they love us. Okay, maybe not all of us at this very moment, but a whole heck of a lot of us are either living or have lived it.

So, what's our story behind this song? Well, this particular song was written for a friend going through a bad relationship. I was thinking a lot about it one day in the shower and the lyrics just starting popping into my brain. I had to keep running in and out of the shower in order to record each line that I thought of! That may have been the longest shower I've ever taken.

But you know what? It's not just about that friend and her crush on that guy, I've lived it. I've been the person who thought, "Won't you turn and walk away because I'm not strong enough to leave - even though I know what best for me and true, I'll be your fool." Who hasn't felt that at some point in their life?

After I had about 80% of the lyrics written, and all the soap rinsed off, I got together with Michael and he put them to the lovely music you hear now. Some people think it's a simplistic, 3-chord composition, but in reality there are 5 chords. And who cares anyway? More chords would just get in the way of the simple message of this song, "I love you more than you love me."

Eventually we went into the studio with Ari Rios at Laughing Tiger Studios in San Rafael, CA. Ari arranged the absolutely perfect and beautiful cello part, which was performed by Rebecca Roudman of Dirty Cello. Ari also arranged the piano line performed by Austin de Lone. We then later worked with Ed Stasium on the mixing of the song and then with Greg Calbi who mastered it.

It's been awhile since this whole affair began and I've lost touch with the friend. I don't know if she's over him or not, but since sharing the song on YouTube via Facebook and Twitter, we've made so many new friends who are going through the pain of an unbalanced relationship. So many wonderful people have written to us to tell us how the song is their song and to thank us for writing it. Our plan and our hope is to continue sharing the song with the world. Maybe it'll help.
