Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe Assaulted By Gang Of Attackers

It left him and the custom-made throne he's been using because of his broken leg trapped under cover. Grohl continued to play and sing but was forced to call a halt to proceedings while the curtain was slowly removed.

He said to the crowd: "Sometimes it's the f***ed up things that make you remember the show for the rest of your life." The band then started the track from scratch.

The group recently kept their promise to play in Cesena, Italy after 1000 fans staged a mass performance of Learn To Fly to temp the band to their town.

And he thinks the singer's choice of focus is misguided, adding: "We kind of feel a little bit abandoned by him." Tyler - who launched country music single Love Is Your Name earlier this year - admitted in June that his colleagues were "not happy" about his commitment to solo work. But he added: "This is a side-project that's now turned into a love of life."

Whitford tells Billboard: "He seems to think his solo career is going to go great guns. He doesn't seem to realize, in my opinion, his fans around the globe want to see him in the context of Aerosmith - and don't really care for whatever he thinks he's going to do.

On Monday at Worcester Crown Court, the charges were all dropped and the 74-year-old has since spoken of his "anger" at having spent his life savings on defending the case.

Rashad Owens' car plowed into a crowd of SXSW revelers in downtown Austin in March of last year and he was charged with the capital murder of four people. A number of others were injured in the incident.

Straight Outta Burbank is the follow-up to this year's Meanwhile In Burbank... set and, according to frontman Corey Taylor, is the second in what will be a trio of Burbank covers releases.

It features versions of songs by Bad Brains, Slayer, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden and the Rolling Stones and is out only on limited edition colored vinyl November 27.

Frontman Corey Taylor says: "The first EP was a little closer together style-wise. This one hits a few different corners. It's got Bad Brains on one end and the Stones on the other, with Crue, Slayer and Maiden in between - and the crazy thing is it all works. I hope people enjoy the spirit, music and fun that went into this."

While introducing current guitarist Steuart Smith to the Detroit crowd, Henley took offense when a concertgoer sitting front and center shouted Don Felder's name.

Recorded earlier this year at frontman Joe Elliott's studio in Dublin, Ireland, "Def Leppard" marks the group's seventh US top 10 album. The group's 11th record and first new album in 7 years was previewed with the lead single "Let's Go."

Def Leppard begin live dates starting November 9 in Tokyo before playing shows in Australia and Singapore, and a December UK tour with Whitesnake and Black Star Riders.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, the show titled Billy Idol Forever is set for nearly a dozen dates at the House of Blues kicking on March 16, 2016. The British rocker will also take the stage on March 18, 19, 23, 25, 26 and May 4, 6, 7, 11 and 14. Tickets begin at $79.50 and go on sale at 10 AM Friday via the House of Blues website.

The Gibson J-160E acoustic is thought to have been used to write and record Beatles hits including Love Me Do and I Want To Hold Your Hand and was put up for sale at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles where it was expected to fetch up to $800,000.

It was to due to be unveiled earlier this year but was postponed when guitarist Viv Campbell's cancer returned. As well as the Def Leppard guitarist, Last In Line features former Dio men Vinny Appice, Jimmy Bain and Claude Schnell, as well as ex Lynch Mob frontman Andrew Freeman.

The albums have been rendered on cassette using "high quality Dolby Digital audio transfers" and are available from December 8. Only 2500 copies of each cassette will be sold.

A series of instrumental pieces - known collectively as Jade Helm - can be heard in snippets as players make their way through Call Of Duty Black Ops III - and can now be played in order via an online promo video.

guitarist Ross The Boss had the following to say about the band's comeback single, "Supply and Demand is the perfect single at the perfect time for The Dictators NYC.

Hammett, 52, tells 103.3 The Edge: "We're all getting up there, but we still have drive, we still have energy, we're still inspired, we still have things that we wanna do. Mentally, emotionally - I think that we're not done yet.

Bassist Dave LaRue says: "Flying Colors is like no other band to perform with. This tour was all about the joy of playing together, and sharing new songs with fans. Everyone felt something special that night, and I'm so glad we captured it."

The guitarist, 55, postponed tours of Asia and Australia after the cancer was discovered and he later had to pull out of a European trek too. Wylde, Vai and Portnoy will be joined by John 5, Billy Sheehan and Derek Sherinian for the gig, which takes place at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on December 12.

Jones tells NPR: "To me the song is a celebration of Elvis, a celebration of his life. I wanted to show that. I wanted to let people know how much I felt about Elvis - that he did change music.

These recordings come from one of only four acetates ever made. These 7 tracks were previously been made available by Record Collection (in early 2015) as a limited edition vinyl release. This is the first time these recordings have been released on CD and download.

Singer Aryn Jonathan Black says: "Rather than viewing She Sings, I Kill as a first single off of our upcoming album, it serves more as a window into its creation. It offers a mix unique to this release but also previews one direction taken on this next record that we're excited to finally bring into fruition."

One of the band's Nameless Ghouls recently told Metal Hammer: "Some people are talking about this song as something of a surprise - but I've never seen it as a wild card, and I've been hearing it for a number of years.

It's Cornell's fourth solo project to date, including "Euphoria Morning" (1999), "Carry On" (2007), "Scream" (2009) and the acoustic live album, "Songbook" (2011), from his tour of the same name.

The singer will return to live action for a month-long solo acoustic tour of New Zealand and Australia, with dates starting in Christchurch, NZ on November 20.

The two acts revealed that they will hit the road for a 10-show run that will be kicking off on March 7 in Abbotsford, BC and wrapping up March 21 in Montreal, Quebec.

The song "Rawgabbit" was born out of limitations. Armchair Committee is a three-piece. Every member has to pull their weight, and more, in order for us to put on a good live performance. There's no comfortable pad of keyboards or backing tracks to hide behind. If you drop a drumstick, play a wrong note, or hit an effects pedal at the wrong time, it'll be glaringly obvious. We also record live whenever possible - meaning that if one of you messes up, the Engineer is pressing stop and you're starting again. These limitations create an urgency that can't be replicated.

'Rawgabbit' was written and recorded over the course of a few days in the Summer of 2015. There was a definite timeframe limitation - we wanted to release it by the end of the year to tie together with an album release in 2016. Having already recorded, mixed, and mastered the album, we were aiming to write and record a song that was limited to four minutes, but somehow managed to represent the 48 minutes we'd just recorded.

I play bass and sing backing vocals in Armchair Committee. Tom (Hackwell, Guitar/Vocals) is, by his own admission, more of a lead-player than rhythm. This lack of sonic-congestion allows me room to experiment more than bassists might usually. In the case of 'Rawgabbit' I had quite a specific idea for what I thought the intro should be, and unsurprisingly, it involved my instrument. To fill out the sound in our band, I usually choose to play around with effect pedals and make weird noises that a bass guitar shouldn't, but the best choice that I made during the writing of 'Rawgabbit' was to leave the room and go for a piss.

As I was returning to our live room, I heard Tom begin playing what would later be the intro guitar riff the track. Hearing the drums come in to compliment the guitar - I knew that was it. I knew whatever I was doing before was not as immediate and memorable as the sounds being made in that moment. Despite having such an firm vision for the track at that point, I knew that the limitation of two instruments - guitar and drums, without me contributing at all, was an improvement.


The word "Rawgabbit" was chosen as a working title at first. An archaic Scottish term, the closest we have found to a recognised definition is 'a person who speaks with total self-assurance on a subject or area of which they know absolutely nothing.' Chosen as seemingly unrelated quirky term, it quickly became a phrase that we have used many times to describe the humility required in songwriting. Sometimes everyone can talk with a definite vision of what they think should happen, but quite often it becomes apparent that they do indeed know absolutely nothing.

The song comes from the group's forthcoming album A Head Full of Dreams, which will be released early next month. Martin spoke to Jeff Regan on SiriusXM (via Radio.com) about the track:

"I'd been begging Jonny our guitarist for years to make a riff that I like as much as 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N' Roses. Then he showed me that one, and I was like, 'That's it!'

Leading the lineup are legendary drummers, such as Carmine and Vinny Appice, Carl Canedy of The Rods, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, and Gene Hoglan.

Other guests include Alan Tecchio of Watchtower, former Megadeth guitarists Glen Drover and Chris Poland, from Holyhell Joe Stump, Josh Christian of Toxik, former Racer X singer Jeff Martin, Broken Teeth lead singer Jason McMaster, Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth, Bob Nalbandian of Inside Metal, metal historian Martin Popoff, and Mitch Lafon.

Billy Gibbons and The BFG's will be on the late night talk show to perform the song "Treat Her Right," which is the lead track from Gibbons just released solo album "Perfectamundo."

Billy and the band will be kicking off a tour in support of the album on November 27th in Fort Lauderdale, FL at Parker Playhouse and concluding the trek on February 6th in Stroudsburg, PA at the Sherman Theater.

The tour will also include an appearance at the Havana Jazz Festival in Cuba with his itinerary showing performances on December 17th, 18th and 20th. Gibbons had the following to say:

Frontman Josh Middleton says: "We're extremely excited - it's great to finally be playing a full-length set for our very patient UK fans. With this package I think it's really worth the wait. We've been huge Decapitated fans since the time Nihility came out. Just getting to watch them every night is going to be awesome."
