Metallica To Play Super Bowl 50 Eve Show

John 5 tells Guitar Player: "I know one thing - Dave loves the record. But he's doing Van Halen, which is doing great too. So we'll see what happens in the future. It's old Van Halen. It sounds like Could This Be Magic? It's just that sound, that tone. The songs are so good, they're really great."

John 5 and Roth previously worked together on the DLR Band album, but the guitarist says this latest record ended up being terrifying thanks to some last-minute changes.

He adds: "We did it without a click track, because he wanted that natural feel. Then he wanted to get drums on and some percussion, and the engineer was, like, 'Well, we're really gonna need click.'

"I'm leaving for a tour with Zombie in 40 hours. So Dave called me and he said, 'John, you've gotta come in and record the whole record again.' We're talking overdubs, harmonies, everything.

Now they've revealed the follow-up to their self-titled 2013 release will be performed in full on a run of theatre shows which starts in London on February 18th.

Vocalist and guitarist Nicke Andersson, guitarist Dregen, bassist Kenny Hakansson and drummer Matz Robert Eriksson formed the group in 1994. Dregen departed in 1997 and the band decided to call it a day in 2008.

The project is being previewed with a lyric video for the lead track, "Evil Twin." "Yeah, that opening riff is really evil," says drummer Charlie Benante. "We had done a lot of touring with Death Angel and Exodus, so I was in a really thrashy state of mind when I starting writing the riffs for that song. I think along with Scott's lyrics and Frank's melodies, we came up with a really great, old school thrash metal feel."

According to the Guardian, Costin Mincu, Alin George Anastasescu and Paul Gancea were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. The three men declined to comment.

Friday's blaze at rock venue Colectiv is believed to have started when a pyrotechnic display set fire to the stage during a concert by the local band Goodbye To Gravity.

According to the announcement the free downloads include "Some Kind Of Hate, Disguises, Knives, Conviction, Rain In Hell, Our Gangs Dark Oath and Nightmare Anatomy".

Aiden frontman William had the following to say about the final album when they began work on it back in January, "Aiden has been on hiatus for a while now but it's time for me to answer your requests.

The shows are the latest in an extensive run of live performances for Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph. They're currently on tour in the UK, with the duo also planning trips across Europe, Mexico, North America, Japan and South America before embarking on their 2016 Emotional Roadshow.

Hale told Billboard.com the band wanted somebody with some 'whiskey dust' in their voice, and her name came up. "They ended up coming to me in Nashville during our last little stint of time off and cutting it, and it was awesome, just an amazing group to work with," she said.

But the design bears a striking resemblance to the over of BMTH's 2013 album Sempiternal, which was inspired by a 6000-year-old geometric symbol known as the flower of life.

The German band are presenting part one of a documentary revisiting their fifth record and final project involving guitarist Uli Jon Roth. The reissue is one of 8 expanded albums issued the same day and featuring many previously unreleased tracks as part of the Scorpions 50th Anniversary Deluxe Editions series.

Frontman Dani Winter-Bates says: "To me, Earthbound feels like the distillation of everything we've ever wanted this band to be about. Our first three records are kind of part of their own trilogy but this is Bury Tomorrow's record, we all see this as our chance to show people what we are capable of."

Cream icon Bruce and Procol Harum guitarist Trower first collaborated on 1981 album BLT, and 1982 follow-up Truce. They reconvened for 2008's Seven Moons.

But the run of shows in February 2009 - originally launched as Seven Moons Live - were the only times they performed live, with the addition of Gary Moore, John McLaughlin and Level 42 drummer Husband.

Ruf Records say: "After two gigs in Karlsruhe and Cologne, the trio was ready to play the Dutch city of Nijmegen. This night was very special, not because of the camera crew and the recording, but because Trower, Bruce and Husband had already formed a whole.

The theme for this year's Monsters of Rock Cruise is "Shredders from the Deep," and in line with that motif, the cruise will highlight wailing guitar players. The trip, which runs from Feb. 22 to Feb. 26, will being in Miami and make stops at the Great Stirrup Cay, Nassau and Paradise Island in the Bahamas before sailing back to port.

Other acts onboard include Helloween, Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Gus G, Y&T, Michael Monroe, former Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth, Whitesnake's Joel Hoekstra, Doro, Vixen and more.

"The last album did really well, especially in Europe," says Rod. "And it gave me the confidence to spread my wings and keep on writing. And songwriting's never been easy for me. It's always a struggle."

Keyboardist and singer Neal Morse says: "I love the guitar work in this one. Steve really nails it. This also has a really cool proggy string melody section that I can never get out of my head, in a good way. The only other thing I have to say about this song can be summed up in one word - cheezewizz."

The song, originally released in 1982, was written at the request of movie star Sylvester Stallone, who used it in the soundtrack for Rocky III. It became the second-best selling single of the year in the US.

Devil You Know drummer John Sankey says: "One day in the studio, Howard turned up in a shower robe and started shadow boxing while doing his best Rocky Balboa impersonation. It was so impressive that we immediately knew we had to do Eye Of The Tiger.

Gigs in Edinburgh, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham and Norwich scheduled for Nov 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 have now been pushed back until February. Their performances in Cardiff (November 26), Southampton (November 27) and London (November 29) will go ahead as planned.

The band say: "We apologies wholeheartedly for any inconvenience caused. In the past three years of intensive touring and 350+ shows we haven't cancelled or postponed a single gig, and doing so this time is not a decision we have taken lightly.

But the follow-up will demonstrate a different approach. Gildenlow says: "Ragnar Zolberg and I truly enjoy writing music together, and have that sort of completing-each-others'-sentences dynamic that I have only found in very few people.

The black and white promo stars singer/songwriter Rosie May and was shot in Hamtramck, Michigan - the first time the band have filmed a video outside of their home town of Flint.

Frontman David Gunn directed the moody video. He tells Metro Times: "When I set out to shoot the video, I knew an important part would be finding a real string quartet to play the music. Using actresses just wouldn't be right, it needed to be authentic.

"I got connected with the Professor of Orchestra at Wayne State and with his help, locked in a talented quartet of his students. On top of that I had already worked with a handful of Detroit film crews in the past so it was a better play to go to them rather than bring everyone to me.

As part of a Facebook post to promote an upcoming documentary series, Leal says: "I'm not a rockstar. But no matter what you do people will still look for a way to portray you in a bad light. Sometimes I might stay in the van because I'm not having a good day and don't want to give off any negative vibes. But people will immediately put the stamp on it, 'Oh he's being an a**hole. Douche.'

"But its not like that at all. I've had my fun and crazy times back in the day, but right now I'm trying to centre myself with a healthier lifestyle and separate myself from negativity or drama."

Lighting designer Marc Brickman, who also synchronised the Empire State Building's July 4 light display in tribute to the Grateful Dead's final Fare Thee Well shows, choreographed the event above the streets of Manhattan.

The building is bathed in various colors throughout the year to mark special events, such as Halloween, wins for the city's sports teams, charity events and historical anniversaries.

"Mesumamim" means " On Drugs" in Hebrew... guitarist Charlie Cawood preferred the original Hebrew word to the English one, as it creates an abstract metaphor to what "drugs" can represent, like, for example, people who live like zombies in the big city - just numb...from struggling the daily grind, closed up in they own shell of survival and self neglect...workaholics who never have time for themselves, people who forgot who they are in order to fit in, youngsters that are afraid of their lives floating in the haze of endless clubs, people binge drinking...you see all sorts of zombies in London...

When I was designing the electronic drums, I designed a snare that will sound like a gun shot - a 'slapping' menace of self damage...hinting something suicidal... I have also asked Charlie Cawood, who plays many world music string instruments - to put some Arabic Oud in the song, to have a deep, 'heartfelt' sad tone to it...but he chose the Turkish Saz... that has a 'lighter' higher pitch...

So I think we ended up with a 'Spagetti Western Urban Melodrama' of a track, with wide sound landscapes, maybe not the Sahara... maybe the Nevada! a beautiful, romantic void with a distance gun shot...a whole personality who is becoming a dessert! :)

Image wise, I remembered my first ever SPIRITWO shoot with Frankie Eden in 2006 - In those times, I have performed live in big queer underground events in Tel Aviv with a huge wig and latex dresses (before Lady Gaga came around, of course)

In that first photo shoot I pretended to be a girl that never left her room - sitting on her neglected bed with all the food she ate, popcorn and breadcrumbs...Posing pure decadence and glamorous witchcraft...

I decided I can Re-use the images and collide them with amazing nature landscapes shot by photographer Jon Bagge in the Lake District - creating a clash between all the beautiful pure things existing in the world - and how we might miss them - being trapped in our own self neglect, being out of touch...

So in the video for Mesumamim we mixed all those images up...Creating an avant guard video saga by putting some slugs on a bed, full of pictures and memories, plotting up a sense of absence, inner darkness, emotional blindness and then - jumping into heartening brightness of nature pictures in time lapse...and ...of course, a splash of water, to make the drama more wet!!

Director Rosie Jones who shot and edited the video had to hear me keep saying " I know its Hardcore... but can we keep it Zen??! "

I think Mesumamim is defiantly a 'Wet Dessert Hardcore Zen song'... ...yeah... ;-)
