"Black Abyss" is a song that I wrote with Jason Suecof. Jason and I had only recorded a demo version the music. I ended up taking the demo version home to work on the rest of the song. Being very family oriented, I showed the music to my older brother Raul. Together, with my brother, I wrote the lyrics to the song. I love the way this song ended up. In the end, this became a song about paranoia and fear.

According to the BBC: "Sixties pop star Peter MacBeth sexually assaulted a young girl on four occasions over the course of six years and downloaded child porn from the internet, a court heard.

"I don't want to make any official announcements, but I will say that we definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and we'll see what happens," Crow told Spinner.com.

With SCARS ON BROADWAY, the new band featuring SYSTEM guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan, previously announced for the festival, it's likely that speculation will start about whether the musicians will get together for a surprise SYSTEM reunion.

We have spent some of the best years of our lives together, and the time has come for us to follow different paths. However, music does not stop here for any of us! Peter has a solo project named One Grand Canyon, and will be playing drums with From The Bridge.

Shannon Rodrick claims The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, approached him and said aggressively, "Your team is garbage." Rodrick then says, according to court documents, that Taylor continued to provoke him when, during a time-out, the rapper "sucker-punched [Rodrick] with a closed fist on [Rodrick's] left cheek causing [him] to fall backwards." Rodrick then says Taylor went to his vehicle to get a gun, and walked towards him saying, "I'm going to blast this fool."

Is it an internationally recognized holiday? No, but it should be! We are honored and proud to be participating in Record Store Day on April 19 as hundreds of indy record stores across the country will be celebrating what you already know... the coolest place in any town to hang out is your local record store.

According to Gigwise: The baby with a gun cover of 'Hey Ma' now won't be coming to a billboard near you following the ruling, but according to James' lead guitarist Larry Gott the band are undeterred by the decision.

According to the BBC "Six people have been charged with conspiracy to defraud the Isle of Wight Festival by trying to sell fake tickets and wristbands.

Speculation is that the band in question is the Massachusetts-based metal group SHADOWS FALL, whose last studio album � and Atlantic Records debut � "Threads of Life", has sold 93,000 copies in the United States since its April 2007 release � a fraction of the 301,000 sales total achieved by its predecessor, 2004's "The War Within", which was released by Century Media.

Now E has invited US President George W. Bush and the First Lady Laura Bush to attend the band's upcoming Washington D.C. concert. This may be a hard sell since Bush used the Eels as a campaign issue during his run for office in 2000. (W's people found out that DreamWorks reps were handing out copies of the "Daisies of the Galaxy" album at the Democrat National Convention. The Bush camp pointed out that the album contained such child friendly song titles as "It's A Motherf**ker.")

Back in January the band went through some major changes and said at the time: "We just want to fill everyone in on the current situation with TTEOTD," guitarist Justin Longshore says. "First off, this band isn't going anywhere and we are still doing the Throwdown/Soilwork tour as planned. To avoid any complications, we'll just state that Josh [Kulick, drums] and Nate [Johnson, vocals] have both parted ways with the band under their own circumstances. We wish them the best of luck in the future.

"Scott is OK as far as I know but I can't say he'll be fine when the tour kicks off or when it finishes," McKagan told UK's JournalLive. "You just never know. Addiction is crazy and I should know. I can't be cagey and say, 'Oh no, we're going to be fine and everything's going to go without a hitch.' The truth is I just don't know what will happen. I don't want to read this interview where I've said there'll be no problems and then for us not to finish the tour. I don't want to have to eat my words. All I can say is that right now I'm confident it will happen and we've never sounded better as a band."
