Eagles Of Death Metal Crew Member Killed In Terrorist Attack

Guns N' Roses and Poison's former manager Vicky Hamilton did her best to dispel the rumors, posting on Facebook that she'd been in touch with Slash. "He says the G N' R tour isn't happening," she wrote.

Nikki Sixx on the other hand appeared to claim a reunion is coming. When asked on Twitter whether Guns N' Roses would ever reunite, Sixx responded in all capitals, "THEY ARE. EVERYBODY KNOWS."

Now Wood tells ABC Radio: "We'll maybe go into the studio in December, cut a few tracks and see what happens. We'll take it from there - see how it all goes. One thing at a time."

The group kept in their unconventional character with the announcement proclaiming "TOOL TOUR VISIONS SOMETHING WICKED THIS� YOUR WAY COMES!" with the promise the tour routing and support band details will soon be announced.

Here is the band's message, "For those of you who only like NEWS about TOOL, here's something that should be of great interest. The impenetrable veil of my dark scrying mirror FINALLY CLEARED today - enough so, in fact - that I could perceive a large heptagram on a complexly lit stage where four performers were dwarfed by dramatic video projections. Evidently the sonic and visual extravaganza that I was receiving is a rare glimpse of FUTURE TOOL U.S.A. TOUR DATES in the month of JANUARY, 2016 e.v.

"However, with some of the images in the depths of the black glass not being clearly distinct� YET, fans will have to keep checking back (SOON) on the Tool websites and Tool facebook page for an official announcement containing a list of the SHOW DATES, CITIES and VENUES, as well as for info about a tour support act(s).

Weinhofen says on Twitter (via Lambgoat) that the band is hoping to be deported but says that they will be detained for 4 to 14 days. He wrote, ""Currently sitting in Immigration office [in] Malaysia waiting to be deported (best case scenario) because the promoter didn't get us visas...

The four got together to discuss the possibility, but it didn't work out and eventually Kiko Loureiro and Chris Adler were brought in to work on 15th album Dystopia, due out on January 22.

Ellefson later cleared Mustaine of any blame over the failed reunion attempts. Now Mustaine tells Overdrive: "There was a lot of upheaval in our camp over the last couple of years, with management changes, bad touring decisions made by our management, and the loss of my mother-in-law and the whole Rust In Peace reunion.

"David Ellefson was a total gentleman and stood up and said, 'Look, this wasn't his idea to do this reunion. It was my idea.' Because my take on it was that I really didn't want anything to do with it. As far as I was concerned, it's done and let's just leave it where it's at.

The pair says: "In connection with the planning and preparation of Volbeat's extensive future plans and wishes for 2016 and onwards, Volbeat and Anders Kjolholm part ways. All matters related hereto have been mutually and respectfully agreed upon. All announced shows will happen as planned.

"The Mission Creep" will include both an unreleased song by Heaven Shall Burn called "Battle Of Attrition" as well as the unreleased Napalm Death track "An Extract (Strip It Clean)".

The EP comes packaged with artwork design (Both bands have an A side with own front cover artwork - See pictured above!) created by Frode Sylthe (The Haunted, Napalm Death, At The Gates, etc.) and is limited to 2,000 copies in the following vinyl versions/colours: 800x Black (CM Mailorder/Distro Europe & North America); 400x Red (CM Mailorder/Distro: Europe & North America); 200x Clear (CM Mailorder Europe); 200x Yellow (Impericon); 200x Blue (Impericon); 200x White (Impericon).

Heaven Shall Burn had this to say about the EP, "It is a huge honour for us to be releasing this split 7" EP. It not only is the first 7" in Heaven Shall Burn's career, but also shared with a band that has been an influence on all levels of our band's development. Napalm Death have been a constant inspiration and will always remain innovators. We are as happy as young kids, again! Our song "Battle Of Attrition" deals with the happenings on the battlegrounds of Flanders from more than a 100 years ago and the unfortunately repeating tragedies for all Nations, which are misled into devastating war scenarios."

Mark 'Barney' Greenway of Napalm Death adds, "Split recordings are a great opportunity to explore something a little different, and with the voice that Heaven Shall Burn have out there in the world, we thought it was a nice route down which to spread our own tentacles of music and ideas. The convergence of ideas between our two bands on the design side of the EP was quite seamless, so as good a meeting of minds as there should be."

West made his name in Mountain and has influenced guitarists including Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads and Jethro Tull's Martin Barre. Barre had the following to say:

Frontman Mike Hranica said of their latest record: "We wanted each song to have a specificity about it - to have its own identity separate from the others, to have its own sound, but still have them united in concept. We talked about a lot of different themes, but 'space' just felt right."

Jesse Leach and co head Down Under for the three-city event, which takes place in Brisbane on January 23, Sydney on January 24 and Melbourne on January 26.

Directed by Brandon Dermer, the video features a cameo from MMA and kickboxing competitor Joe Schilling. Victorious follows Hallelujah, Emperor's New Clothes and the title track as the fourth song issued as a preview to the project, which sees vocalist Brendon Urie as the sole remaining member of the band he formed in Las Vegas in 2004 with childhood friends Ryan Ross, Brent Wilson and Spencer Smith - who left the lineup earlier this year.

The second single from the group's ninth album, "Signals", reached No. 8 on the US Album Rock tracks chart while the project went on to sell more than a million copies in the States alone.

"R40 Live" presents Rush live in concert in their hometown of Toronto over two nights this past June. The shows at the Air Canada Centre marked the first time the group have filmed in their hometown in almost 20 years.

Plant was invited to perform in aid of the Charlie and Kathleen Dunnery Children's Fund (CKDCF) by his friend Francis Dunnery. "Francis toured with Robert in the early 90s and then met him last month and asked him if he would come to Egremont," says Mark Andrews, the local face of CKDCF. "When I was arranging the publicity, I found myself typing 'Robert Plant at Egremont Market Hall' and it sounded surreal!"

The promo was filmed at their show in New York City in October - and keyboardist Rod Argent says he's had the idea for the track in his head for 38 years.

He tells Guitar World: "I actually started this song in 1977 when I wrote one couplet upon hearing of Elvis' death. For some reason it has stayed in my mind all these years - although it's no longer about Elvis.

The blaze ripped through the Colectiv Club in Romania late last month during the band Goodbye To Gravity's set, claiming the lives of bassist Alex Pascu, drummer Bodgan Enache and guitarists Vlad Telea and Mihal Alexandru. Vocalist Andrei Galut remains in hospital in a serious condition.

Three more people have died late last week, taking the death toll to 54, while dozens more remain in hospital. Chioreanu - known for his work with At The Gates, Arch Enemy and Napalm Death - has gathered tracks he's composed and used during his art exhibitions and is selling the compilation via Bandcamp. All proceeds will be donated to those affected by the fire.

The artist says: "For our small community of music fans, this has been beyond terrible. The loss and impact is almost too big to comprehend at the moment.

They'll play nine shows in Italy and the UK, unveiling material from their upcoming album, in the lead-up to his annual birthday bash in London on December 17. Support is provided by Dirt Box Disco and a Ginger acoustic set.

Produced by Cynic's Josh Newell and mixed by Devin Townsend, the follow-up to 2013's Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words With Tones) marks the Los Angeles outfit's fifth studio project.

Frontman Sacha Dunable says: "This video is ridiculous. Please don't hate us now. Much thanks to Pat Lascu for making it. We're on tour getting ready to meet up with Between The Buried And Me, Enslaved and Native Construct , as well as a bunch of our own headlining dates. Check our Facebook for those, and go buy our record!

Welcome A Star is the first single from Beckitt, in collaboration with the classically trained pianist, composer and TV presenter, Wakeman. The former Yes star first met Emmie, who has been singing classical repertoire since the age of ten, at a fundraiser for Kids'n'Cancer - and was so impressed by her crystal clear voice and effortless range that he decided to record a song from his oratorio The New Gospels, with her.

This beautifully melodic Christmas song features Emmie on lead vocals, accompanied by the Orion Orchestra, with Rick on keyboards, and the English Chamber Choir.

Currently studying for her Grade 8 exam in singing, Emmie Beckitt takes part in the Senior School Chamber Choir at St Augustines, Scarborough, North Yorkshire and is also a member of her school orchestra and jazz band, as she plays tenor saxophone, violin and piano. When aged only 13, she supported Katherine Jenkins in concert and a year later, appeared at Roy Wood's sell-out show at the Birmingham Symphony Hall, where she received a standing ovation. She recently sang The Hymn, composed by Sir Tim Rice and Rick Wakeman, with an orchestra and choir, at The Sage Gateshead, as part of the Tim Rice Concert Series.

A Fellow of the Royal College of Music, Professor of the London College of Music, former YES keyboard player, Watchdog presenter and renowned Grumpy Old Man, Rick Wakeman began his career as a much-sought-after session musician in the late Sixties, playing on more than 2,000 records by a wide variety of artists, including Cat Stevens, David Bowie, Marc Bolan and Black Sabbath. In the early Seventies, he found fame in his own right as a member of first Strawbs and then YES. As a solo artist and with YES, he has sold more than 50,000,000 albums. He has written a number of film scores and has become a TV regular, but still finds time to perform numerous concerts around the world every year.

May 12th in Manchester at the Academy and includes stops in Gateshead, Glasgow, Sheffield, Gloucester, Crawley, Salisbury and the final show in Birmingham on May 21st.
