Of Mice & Men's Austin Carlile Reveals Hospitalization Cause

Sun Live reports Rudd was due to be sentenced on June 26 after pleading guilty in Tauranga District Court to one count of threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis.

Van Halen launched the 2015 remasters series in March with the release of newly remastered versions of their groundbreaking 1978 debut, "Van Halen", and their 6th album, "1984."

The set includes a cover of The Rolling Stones classic, "Sympathy For The Devil", as well as a guest appearance by Queen guitarist Brian May on another tune, "The Devil."

First reactions run from "It gives me a headache" and "I can hear a father or mother saying, is this my child?' to "They're really going for it" and "They're jumping, boy I'll tell ya."

Asked if they would attend a Slipknot show after what they've seen, four reply with a straight "no," but one says she'd go "if I took a couple of aspirins."

The label have revealed that the Metal Eagle set will include a deluxe digipak CD which folds out into an inverted cross as well as a Blu-ray and DVD featuring Slayer Live At Wacken 2014 and a Making Of Relentless documentary. Also in the case is a live CD of the Wacken 2014 performance, a poster, an album sticker and a numbered certificate.

Slayer singer Tom Araya recently told Metal Hammer that Hanneman's death brought the band closer together as they worked on the follow-up to 2009's World Painted Blood.

"I'm not used to this," says the singer. "I just want to keep on doing what I set out to do when I first came to America - give 140% every night and be the best I can be at every show. It's maddening and frustrating to realize I can't do that right now. But I'll be back."

Tickets will be honored for the new date of Wednesday, September 23. Refunds are available at point of purchase until June 19 in the event ticket holders are unable to make the new date, which will not include The Pixies as openers; a new support act will be announced.

The former Deep Purple members teamed up to deliver "Keep On Moving" and "Lay Down Stay Down" during the show, part of Whitesnake's North American tour in support of "The Purple Album."

The group's 12th release sees frontman David Coverdale re-recording classic songs from the Deep Purple Mark 3 and Mark 4 records he appeared on, including 1974's "Burn" and "Stormbringer" and 1975's "Come Taste The Band."

"The Purple Album" recently debuted on the US charts, opening at No. 6 on the Top Current Hard Music Albums, No. 15 on Top Current Rock Albums, No. 43 on Top Current Albums and No. 84 on the Billboard Top 200 Charts.

The band's video highlight package also includes guitarist Kirk Hammett, bassist Rob Trujillo and drummer Lars Ulrich in the meet and greet, and the group warming up in the Tuning Room before the show.

The X Games appearance also saw Hammett and James Hetfield team up for 'The Star-Spangled Banner' prior to the Moto X Speed & Style competition at the annual extreme sports event.

Metallica have released audio of their headline concert at the X Games, with proceeds from the show's download going to assist the victims of the recent floods in Texas.

James Hetfield and co asked him to become their frontman in the early 80s, but he wanted to focus on his own outfit, Armored Saint - and remains convinced it was the right move.

Mustaine is responsible for some of the best heavy metal albums in history, including the game-changing debut Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

And he's underlined that the band's critics have missed the point about songs like After Forever, from 1971 album Master Of Reality. Butler, who writes most of Sabbath's lyrics, tells The Weeklings: "People always like to find the evil in the music, so they'd quote the 'pope on a rope' part out of context, as usual."

It's part of a series of worldwide events called Remember Rory, which take place this weekend to commemorate his passing on June 14, 1995. The blues-rock icon's nephew Eoin will perform one of his songs on Cork's famous Shandon Bells on Friday, while four radio stations broadcast Tattoo'd Lady at the same time. Live music will be performed on Rory Gallagher Plaza while other events are planned across Cork and elsewhere.

His brother and manager Donal tells the Irish Examiner: "His presence is immense. He constantly reoccurs in my dreams - in some ways it doesn't feel like he's gone.

"He was such a perfectionist that, when you're working with his music, you have to be careful you don't tamper with it. You do feel he is looking over your shoulder.

He tells My Global Mind: "There are five new songs as such, short songs, but about 85% of the evening is the best-known Jethro Tull repertoire, whatever, that means.

"It includes many of the heavy hitters, those which people would generally agree were the most famous songs they would expect to hear in a best of Jethro Tull show."

He says he's attended several operas over the years and often finds them "hopelessly confusing" so he's made a concerted effort to make the experience easy to follow for audiences.

The 3-week, 9-show run starts April 27 in Glasgow and wraps on May 10 at London's Royal Albert Hall. Yes have also revealed three European shows beyond the UK tour, with concerts in France, Belgium and Italy on the schedule.

"This is the first time we'll be performing Drama in its entirety," says guitarist Steve Howe. "Most of the songs haven't been performed in some 30 years."

"Drama's a great album," adds drummer Alan White. "We decided it's long past due to bring its life and energy back to the forefront. We think the fans will love hearing Fragile and Drama in their entirety, and we certainly look forward to performing them."

He recently said: "Eeps was assembled by using a lot of crazy and different pieces and textures. Celebration stays in one solid mood, with an overall more heavy rock approach, occasionally moving into dark territories."

Duplantier tells Rock Sverige: "We're thinking early next year. I want to say it's more straight to the point. That's what we're doing - getting rid of layers and complicated things, just to keep the core of the idea.

Now frontman Trevor Strnad says: "It sees the band in a darker, faster and more melancholic place than anything we've done to date. It's wrought with emotion on a scale that we haven't reached with our previous attempts. It's dripping with urgency, and an undeniable sincere life and death purpose."

The 12-date, 3-week run opens November 2 in Newcastle, UK and wraps up in Helsinki, Finland on November 18. Motley Crue Fan Club presale tickets and VIP Packages start Wednesday, June 10 in select markets. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 19 at 9 am local time.

"Jan is all over this album," says Schon of the follow-up to 2014's "So U." "I wrote the material to give Jan room to stretch. There are not many three-minute ditties. It's all huge, epic, bombastic�futuristic.

"This is an evolutionary album for me," continues the guitarist. "I've always aspired to be a better player and push musical boundaries. And sure, I've sold 80-million records with Journey, and I'm proud of that, but this album is really me - all based on my guitar, which is my 'voice.' It's bold. There's love, and there's definitely fire and an element of danger. And the energy level is off the hook."

Schon and Journey recently wrapped up their first Las Vegas residency, a run that saw the band perform 9 shows at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

The Italian band formed in 2010 around drummer Agostino Marangolo and bassist Fabio Pignatelli - the original rhythm section of 70's band Goblin, who recorded the soundtracks to several horror films including George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead in 1978.

There are three variants of the band: Claudio Simonetti's Goblin, featuring the co-founder and keyboardist, one with Pignatelli, Marangolo and original guitarist Massimo Morante, and Goblin Rebirth.

Pignatelli tells Tough Riffs: "I think it's a good album - we're all very satisfied. It has rich atmospheres and is performed with a lot of energy. All the personalities of the musicians emerge in a natural way. There's a lot of variety in the compositions and, in my opinion, the record is easy to listen to.

Now guitarist Marten Hagstrom has confirmed that they're closing in on full-power studio work. He tells Rock Sverige: "The last show for this summer is late August in Gothenburg,.

Frontman Kobi Farhi says: "Anyone who has seen an unplugged Orphaned Land show knows that it's an unforgettable experience. It's always nice to strip our songs with different arrangements.

"I've waited a long time to take my 'Jesus white dress' out of the closet. I guarantee it's going to be a holy musical experience - something to remember."

Formed in Melbourne in 2012, Palace Of The King are a six-piece who describe themselves as a "blues-infused rock and roll band". With two EPs and a very limited album under their belts, the band recorded their debut album proper at ColourSound Recording Studio in Altona, Victoria, while the cover art was designed by tattoo artist Kristian Kimonides. It's released June 12 in the UK, via Listenable Records.

"We are super stoked about the new video," says �skar Logi �g�stsson. "Our friends Nicholas and Einar Karl did an awesome job, really professional. They've been in the movie business for some time now and worked on Interstellar and Sense 8, and they even turned down Star Wars to work on this video! The video is definitely different than the Expand Your Mind video, but it's equally awesome! It's a bit more serious, but it's really funny in a darker way.

He finally got the job in 1975 - ten years after keeping a diary about his early outfit The Birds, which he recently rediscovered and published. Wood tells Rolling Stone: "I knew them from afar, across the room. We tried to keep up - if they were going out for �75 a night we were getting �50. When they were getting �250 a night we were getting �100. All we lacked was a hit record.

"It all came together in the late 60s, around the inauguration of Mick Taylor at Hyde Park, after Brian Jones died. I met Mick and Charlie Watts on the periphery of Hyde Park.

Still is produced by Wilco mainman Jeff Tweedy who says: "Richard's been one of my favourite guitar players for a very long time. When I think about it, he's also one of my favourite songwriters and singers.

Twenty Five started off as a completely different song than it is now. After a couple of days of messing around in the home studio, I came up with the line "I woke up at twenty five, I've been stuck here all my life".

The next week at practice I showed this idea to the other guys and I remember Omar saying "That's the line!" "I woke up at twenty five, I've been stuck here all my life". He said scratch everything else and use that. I basically went back to the drawing bored and created a new verse melody and used "I woke up at twenty five" as the chorus.

Once I got the melody structure and beat down, I sat with Omar and Trace to create guitar and bass lines. I was really digging the funky vibe that they had added so I started writing lyrics. Originally I put anti pop culture and stereotype lyrics into the verses and had the chorus speaking as almost an anthem to Generation X. I don't think anyone was overly ecstatic about the tune at this point, but we thought it was good enough to record and have in the running to make the album.

Once we tracked all the music, here in Houston, we sent the track over to our producer, Bryce Bordone, in Virginia Beach. After days of back and forth trial and error we finally got the drum tones and production that we wanted, but there was still something missing.

After a couple drunk nights in the studio, Bryce calls me up and says, "Get to your computer, I'm gonna stream you the tune!" I sat down, and to my surprise, there was this super twangy, funky, catchy, almost drunken sounding lead guitar riff. It caught me a little off guard at first, but after listening through that day, I realized that's what was missing. About a month went by and we were still in the writing/recording process of the album.

There was talk going around between Omar, Trace, our manager, and our producer that maybe this song didn't fit with the rest and it just wasn't gelling. No one could really pin point what it was, but I was getting out voted. For some reason I had a connection to this song and I kept sticking up for it. I suggested one last shot at collaborating on re-writing the verse lyrics and melody.

Bryce sent us the track without any vocals in the verse so we could write on top of it. Omar, Trace, and I sat in our practice space for what seemed like 24hrs and laid down idea after idea.

Eventually we came up with what is now the verse and knew that we had really nailed what was wrong with the song. After vibing on the new verse melody, I felt like the lyrical content needed to be less serious, more summer vibe fun, but still relatable.

After shopping our demos to different labels, management companies, and promotion companies, there was one common denominator and it was this song. Across the board people chose this song as the first single. So long story long, everything that this song went through was for a reason and shaped it into what it is now.
