"Slam" This song was featured on the TV show One Tree Hill and was really the reason that we pulled the trigger and hit the road full time. We had pockets of fans around the country that wanted us in their city to rock out. We packed up everything and hit the road.

It's also the first single off our self-titled debut that will hit the shelves in stores July 22nd. It's a classic getting dumped on your butt song but it's really about freedom from people, places or things. It may hurt to those them at first but it is usually for the best. Sometimes we need to feel low to appreciate feeling great.

Cops in Manlius, NY say early last Friday morning officers saw a suspicious car with its doors open sitting outside an apartment building. While checking out the car, they observed a man and a woman sitting at a table with an "unknown white capsule" with a powdery substance in front of them. After a field test, the cops say the substance tested positive for cocaine.

Tish tosh, people, nothing of the sort. In fact, not even Miley Cyrus' constant media saturation is enough for her - which is why she appears to be chronicling her entire life with photographs in an incredibly regimented way. Even the part of her life that involves posing in the shower in just a wet white T-shirt.

When the band performed Sunday night at Nissan Pavilion, it was almost more machine than man -- the Sunset Strip's answer to Darth Vader. ... Frontman Vince Neil didn't even bother to sing the chorus to show-closing 1989 hit "Dr. Feelgood." Instead, the fist-pumping chant was piped in from some offstage source.

Only the frail and ghostly specter of guitarist Mick Mars -- who has long suffered from chronic degenerative arthritis -- seemed to be operating without the benefit of performance-enhancing doodads, as he played and soloed . . . you know . . . with his hands.

The band will be performing their timeless hit, "Tom Sawyer." Eschewing these types of opportunities for most of their career, the band made an exception for the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy-nominated show. It is the renowned rock trio's first television appearance since 1975.

This Thursday, July 17, Camp Freddy - featuring Sorum and bandmates Billy Morrison, Dave Navarro, Donovan Leitch and Chris Chaney - will play the "Stamping Out Disease" benefit gig at the Viper Room in West Hollywood.

"The songs are a testament to Franklin and Fogarino's willingness to step away from their individual musical calling cards; there's no screeching distortion or three-guitar jams a la Swervedriver, and the music is considerable looser than Interpol's buttoned-up rock," exclaims Magnet.

Following the release of the re-mastered edition of The Joshua Tree last year, Edge has overseen a similar re-mastering of the first three albums, all of which have been re-mastered from the original audio tapes. The deluxe versions of the albums include a wealth of b-sides, live tracks and rarities.

Celebrating his soon-to-be released, highly-controversial untitled album, Nas will give fans a taste of what's in store for this next phase of his celebrated career. Early wristband pick-up for the free, all ages performance will begin at 12 p.m. on July 18 on a first come, first served basis.

The three dates, which will immediately follow the completion of the band's current European trek with Annotations of an Autopsy and Knights of the Abyss, are scheduled for August 21st, 22nd, and 23rd in Maine, Rhode Island, and New York respectively.

The limited-batch ice cream, made from "an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks," is a takeoff on his 1970s album and song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."

Week one is well underway on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. It's made abundantly clear by the searing temperatures, hordes of screaming metalheads and piles of beer bottles strewn through out the backstage parking lot. It really is an honor to be on this festival. The stages are full of really good bands. Both side stages offer metal for everyone. Each band has something different to offer and the crowds have been really energetic despite how hot it has been. It is very clear that metal is alive and well!

You would be making a HUGE mistake not coming to this festival. It is amazingly well organized and it's non stop music. Having two side stages allows us to start each band as soon as the other finishes. I would also add it's way cool to be on stage in front of thousands of people going ballistic only to see dude on his motorcycle doing backflips along the side stage. This will be the tour of the year... no question... and if my present state of hangover is any indication..... this will also be the party of the year...
