Metallica Vs. Motley Crue Feud News To Vince Neil

Even though he's hinted he'd be open to a return to the band, DeLonge has revealed his reasons for leaving and says it allowed him to expand his horizons, such as his band Angels & Airwaves and a series of novels based around the Poet Anderson character.

He tells Radio.com: "I hit a very specific part in my life. I'm 39 years old. If I was to continue to stay in the studio for a year to write a record that I need to rehearse for eight weeks to go on tour for another six months, and it's only about those 12 songs, I'm going to be severely limited in what I can achieve artistically.

Mainman Dave Mustaine revealed the tracklist in July, after completing recording sessions with new guitarist Kiko Loureiro and guest drummer Chris Adler.

The band's website is currently running a countdown clock, set to expire on October 2 (Friday) - when full album details could be revealed. Mustaine recently said: "Over the years we've always said, 'We're going back to our roots.' The naysayers just want Rust In Peace 20 times, which is never gonna happen."

More details will be revealed once final negotiations are complete. Anselmo tells Hellbound: "The Scour thing was just something that popped up - it's something I think I can kill, I can lay it out."

The court this week threw out his claim for $640,000, calculated to address the difficulties he faced while charged with causing the death of a fan in 2010 before he was acquitted in 2013.

Blythe's Prague lawyer Michal Sykora has reported that the court dismissed his claim for 15.555 million koruna against the Justice Ministry - although he can appeal the decision.

The latest leg starts in Budapest, Hungary, on June 1 and travels across the continent into July. Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler will also play at Moscow's Olympisky Arena on July 12.

As previously reported, Sabbath have been confirmed as Friday night headliners at next year's Graspop Metal Meeting on June 17. There's still no word if estranged drummer Bill Ward will be part of the band's plans after the public spat between him and Osbourne.

They have also added an extra Glasgow date and a show in Birmingham. As previously announced, the tour will see the band perform 'in the round' from the middle of the arena for the first time.

John, Paul, George and Ringo signed the contract with Epstein in October 1962. Even though it was technically the group's second contract with Epstein, it was the first one to include Ringo, who had recently replaced Pete Best on drums, and therefore represent the Beatles as the world came to know them. Just days later, they would release their first hit single, "Love Me Do."

The band cancelled their scheduled live appearances in the wake of the tragedy, but later vowed they'd continue. In a new statement, they confirm they'll appear with The Faceless on their upcoming North American tour.

After The Burial say: "As you know, we cancelled our appearance on the Summer Slaughter tour to spend time with friends and family in an effort to rebuild after the loss of our brother.

"Everybody deals with tragedy in their own way, and at their own pace. Each way is unique to that person, but the common goal that all people share is to get back to living a normal life. A normal life to us is being on the road, meeting our fans, and sharing our music with the world.

All That Remains broke the news to fans Wednesday afternoon via the following post on their Facebook which didn't name Emmure. They wrote, "The HardDrive Radio ‪#‎HardDriveLive‬: Fallout tour starts in just a couple of weeks. We've made some lineup changes.

"We'd like to welcome Like Moths to Flames and Devour The Day to the tour replacing our direct support band. Red Sun Rising and Failure Anthem will still be on the tour as well."

Emmure confirmed the news three hours later with a post on their Facebook page. They we wrote, "We want to apologize to All That Remains, We Came As Romans, the fans, promoters and anyone behind the scenes that is involved for having to pull off the 'HardDrive Live Fallout Tour'.

"On our recent trip to the UK and Russia, we've realized that we need to put more focus on other things we have going on in our personal lives at this time."

It comes after the band revealed in January that they were planning a studio return as well as a number of live shows. They performed at this year's Temples Festival in Bristol and held a headline show in London in August.

Southern Lord say: "The album consists of three pieces of a triadic whole - Kannon 1, 2 and 3. The LP includes performances by long-term allies and collaborators Attila Csihar, Oren Ambarchi, Rex Ritter, and Steve Moore, to name a few.

Leach says: "Sometimes the weight of the world bears down on me and rests on my shoulders. This album has been a real burden on my heart. I've rewritten songs three or four times, I've lost sleep many nights and I have fought bouts of dark melancholy.

A private argument between the pair became public at a show in Tennessee in May, with drummer Spencer walking off, followed by his bandmates, leaving frontman Moody on his own.

Moody later said that the incident was down to technical issues while Spencer admitted the band weren't proud of the incident. Now Bathory Sirius XM: "Ivan is a party animal - or used to be a party animal. He used to have problems with alcohol because it's just so easy.

It's based around scenes shot on his three-year world tour and accompanied by road-trip footage showing his first visit to the Italian beach where his father died during World War II.

Waters tells Rolling Stone: "I've never tried to visit, because my father's body was never found. I never really knew the circumstances of his death in any detail.

"We'd been in southern Italy, filming in the memorial garden at Cassino - a lot of people gathered, including a news crew. A British expat named Harry Shindler, living in Italy, saw it on his TV. He went, 'I might be able to help that person.'

The band writes, "General recording updates. All of the music is tracked for the new album. There are about 13 songs set aside for the full length (one of which is 'Xenophobe' --- which has been given new vocals and will have a new mix).

"Dan has been popping into the studio once a week and putting down 2 songs a day. about 4 to go. Then Scott will add his vocals, and we will begin the mixing process.

"I was about 15 when I saw The Who," says Plant, "They played some of the town halls in the West Midlands. It was the most exciting and thrilling music scene I've ever been to.

"They really kicked ass and they blasted the place to pieces. It was amazing. It was just so animated: four guys were playing the most spectacularly exciting and electrifying music."

Governor Phil Bryant has signed the resolution alongside the four surviving previous governors of the state, and the document will be on show at the B.B. King Museum and Interpretive Center in Indianola, where he was buried following his death in May.

Guitarist Esa Holopainen recently revealed that the band left the choice of which songs to use as singles to producer Jens Brogen - because they couldn't decide themselves.

It contains the original record plus a DVD with two previously unseen live tracks, official videos, photo gallery, the full series of making-of mini-documentaries and additional items.

The track features on the singer's debut solo album Courting The Squall, out on October 30. It was partially recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios.

Mono's contribution is titled Death In Reverse - it serves as a preview of their next full-length album, expected in early 2016. The Ocean's 13-minute contribution is called The Quiet Observer.

Heafy tells Allschools: "We were looking at how the other bands were promoting their records. It was basically the same thing: band guy, Instagram, sitting by the computer with a beer, saying, 'Oh, I just finished drums.'

"We said, 'How can we be different?' Well, if everyone is talking about the record all the time, let's not let anyone know we're recording at all and just release it when it's done."

The musical was staged at the Royal Albert Hall in April, featuring special guests Chris Jericho, Dominique Lenore Persi and Jean Savole, with narration from Bill Courage and a troupe of 12 singers and actors.

The ELP man's self-titled 1981 record has been combined with 1983's Manoeuvres, and extended with four bonus tracks that were only previously available in his From The Underground Vol 2 title.

AC/DC comes in at No. 2 on StubHub's list for their "Rock or Bust" tour. The Australian rockers also tote the highest average ticket sales per concert for any fall tour on StubHub.

Foo Fighters hold the No. 3 spot on the list. The band has been touring North America in support of their latest album, Sonic Highways, and the trek wraps up on Oct. 18 in Castaic, California. Dave Grohl has been performing this tour sitting on a guitar-decorated throne of sorts, after suffering a broken leg from falling off the stage at a Foo concert in Sweden.

The concerts at the Air Canada Centre marked the first time the band have filmed in their hometown in almost 20 years, dating back to a 1997 recording at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on the Test For Echo tour.

Prior to that, the group filmed a concert video and later released an accompanying album for the Grace Under Pressure tour in 1984 at Maple Leaf Gardens.

The "R40 Live" version of "Roll The Bones" features a variety of special guests in the rap part of the song, including Jay Baruchel (She's Out Of My League), Les Claypool (Primus), Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), The Trailer Park Boys, and Jason Segel & Paul Rudd (I Love You, Man).

The Pink Floyd guitarist delivered his new single, "Today", as well as the title track to the release, which landed Gilmour his second solo UK No. 1 album.

"It's thrilling to get a Number 1 album, we all want to hit the top spot, however long we've been at it, I'm delighted," said Gilmour. "I owe a debt of thanks to Polly Samson, for writing lyrics on four Number 1 albums, The Division Bell, On An Island, The Endless River, and now Rattle That Lock, and also to Phil Manzanera, my co-producer on the last three albums."

Gilmour is in the middle of a five-night stand The Royal Albert Hall in London as he winds down a sold-out 11-date European tour to launch the project.

"With Cobras And Fire I wanted to present these songs in a much stranger and dirtier atmosphere," says frontman Dave Wyndorf. "Less 'classic rock' and more... well, I'd guess I'd call it a deranged fusion of garage-psych, fuzz punk and movie soundtrack music.

"It's almost completely re-recorded (with the bulk of the guitar and bass playing by co-producer Phil Caivano) and as in Milking The Stars I've added organ, piano, sitars and more to flesh out a completely new sound for these tunes."

It was at this spot in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, that I had a strange experience a few years back. Today I find myself here again, strangely enough at the time of this writing. Taking refuge from the crowded city, I had found a lone tree overlooking a sprawling meadow. A great stand of oak and pine bordered a long spread of grass. The hot New York Summer was in full bloom and I needed some shade to cool off and collect my thoughts.

I sat back against the big oak trunk and tried to think. The school year would soon begin again and with it my teaching and 'real life.' I needed to start planning. But I couldn't bring a single thought into focus. I was pooped. All I could feel was a big blank staring back at me from within.

All of a sudden though I began to feel a strange surge of energy in my chest. A subtle sense of connecting with something bigger than myself. I was accustomed to having similar experiences while meditating or doing yoga but never while just hanging out. What was going on with me? Too much heat I figured. But then a new phenomenon joined the energy boost. I heard some words inside my head. I couldn't call them thoughts, because I wasn't thinking them! I felt totally divorced from any sense of making them happen and didn't have the usual sensation of 'this is me' that usually accompanies thinking. Instead, I had the opposite experience- that these words came from somewhere outside myself, or if not outside, from someone deep inside that I hadn't ever met before.

"Stop. Slow down. Remember who you are."

Those were the first words I heard. Then, the stream continued, "we came to be totally free, exactly who we are." This was getting weird. I wrote down what I was hearing on my phone. It was like a passage from a book on metaphysics or philosophy, only I wasn't reading it in a book. And It wasn't written by any author. The words were somehow coming to me from an unknown source, beyond my understanding.

When I got home that evening, I realized that I'd received a long chunk of text, almost like a poem. I was amazed by the knowledge that I could never have come up with such poetry- it was much deeper than I normally think or write and carried an authority I don't claim to have. Keeping an open mind and allowing myself to think outside my normal boundaries had led me to an altogether new mental or even what you might call a spiritual experience.

It wasn't long before I had set the words to a melody and chords on the piano. 'Stop Slow Down' was born, and in a short while I began to cast the song in sound in the studio, creating the third track for my new album, Play Human. The song fit right in with the many other rock tracks on the album also dedicated to a spiritual or humanitarian message- 'Let's get ourselves right so we can get the world right.' Little did I know it that day in Prospect Park, but I was given a precious gift. Whether it came from someone outside, like a spirit from another plane, or from somewhere deep inside myself, a layer I hadn't known before, I will maybe never know.
