Ozzy Osborne Arrested For Murder, Not Ozzy Osbourne

Guitarist Captain Sensible, who wasn't with the band during Merrick's tenure, said: "What a character he was. I didn't see as much of him as my colleagues, but I've heard many funny stories about the lovable rogue over the years.

Baixo created the new clip featuring Ricky Martin's hit song mashed up with Slipknot live footage to create a viral video that has already been seen by over 220,000 people.

Billboard reports the project opens at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 75,000 copies. The showing equals Iron Maiden's best chart ranking ever - matching the No. 4 placement of 2010's "The Final Frontier."

The Deep Purple and Rainbow founder recently confirmed he'd play a handful of rock shows next June, and later explained some of his reasons behind the move. His latest comments are at odds with ex-Rainbow frontman Joe Lynn Turner's insistence that he'd be part of the project.

Blackmore tells Billboard: "The singer I found is very exciting - he's a cross between Dio and Freddie Mercury. This will mean exposing a new singer to the masses, and I'm sure he'll become pretty famous because of his voice."

The song is the title track to the band's 12th studio album which was released last Friday, September 11th and is the veteran thrash band's first release without late guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who died in May of 2013.

The "Repentless" video was filmed at the Los Angeles area woman's prison Sybil Brand Institute and features Danny Trejo ("Machete," "From Dusk Till Dawn"), Tony Moran ("Halloween's" Michael Myers, "American Poltergeist"), Derek Mears ("Predators," "Friday the 13th") Tyler Mane ("Halloween") Jason Trost ("Hatchet III"), Sean Whalen ("Men In Black," "Halloween II"), and Vernon Wells ("Mad Max 2," "Commando," "Weird Science").

Reed tells Loudwire: "With GNR, timelines don't really apply. And that's fine, things will come out when they're ready and we'll go on tour when we're ready. We're looking at probably next year, hopefully."

Other members of the band have given conflicting reports about what the future holds, with bassist Tommy Stinson recently saying he had "no idea" what's next. Guitarist Richard Fortus, meanwhile, said GNR have enough material ready for "two or three albums."

Fellow guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal's status in the group is unclear, after he said in February that he was in an "awkward position" as he'd been asked not to make any comments about the band.

The 8-episode project - which featured a behind the scenes look at the making of the group's 2014 album of the same name - was honored for Outstanding Sound Editing For Nonfiction Programming (Single Or Multi-Camera) and Outstanding Sound Mixing For Nonfiction Programming (Single Or Multi-Camera)

Drones, Muse's seventh album, was released in June. Frontman Matt Bellamy admitted he'd had reservations about working with producer Mutt Lange, but soon changed his mind, saying: "He was totally into the concept - he's the kind of person to get into the mind of the artist and whatever the artist wants."

Frontman Josh Homme announced the event on his Beats 1 radio show the day prior. According to Alternative Nation, Queens of the Stone Age had quite the audience for what turned out to be a rather intimate performance.

Arctic Monkeys' frontman Alex Turner, Parts Unknown host Anthony Bourdain, and former Queens of the Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri were spotted in the audience.

Taylor says: "I'm deathly scared of sharks. My mom took me to see the original Jaws when I was really young and it scarred me for life." A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to help the film's production, with a target of $50,000 set with two months to go.

Brent Smith and co recently said: "We can't thank you enough for your patience. We have poured our entire being into these songs and into this album.

Disturbed launched comeback album Immortalized in August, following a four-year hiatus. Draiman tells Loudwire: "As they say, 'never say never,' but I really don't have any intentions of it. I'm going to make sure I pay proper attention to the leviathan from here on out."

He adds: "All of us had really amazing experiences working with our respective projects - myself with Device, Dan Donegan and Mike Wengren with Fight Or Flight, and John Moyer with Adrenaline Mob, Geoff Tate and everybody else.

He announced earlier this month that he'd release Perfectamundo on October 23 via Concord Records. That date has been moved back to November 6. It's said to be heavily inspired by Cuban music and Gibbons took advice from Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl before recording the work.

And they've announced they'll release the song on 7-inch vinyl on October 3, backed with a cover of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling In Love. It'll be issued on limited-edition colored vinyl and is now available to pre-order.

Now fellow founding member Masvidal has posted his own Facebook update, insisting "Cynic will continue one way or another" and saying Reinert didn't discuss the split with him or touring bassist Sean Malone.

Masvidal says: "This is all news to me. I just landed from Japan and my inbox was exploding. Sean didn't confer with myself or Malone about Cynic's official breakup or the tour being cancelled.

"I'm honestly somewhat relieved it's finally over since it's been quite challenging over the years but I'm also trying to figure out how to possibly salvage this tour - with a new drummer - since the damage he's causing by pulling out at this last minute is inconceivable for me at the moment.

The band's plans are currently on hold while frontman Austin Carlyle recuperates after medical attention for a heart condition. They recently provided the following update:

Guy tells WBEZ 91.5: "Chicago and these great blues players should be remembered for ever. I've been pulling for this for over 25 years - and we finally got it, thank God."

Deliverance was originally released in 2002 and Damnation followed the next year - but Mikael Akerfeldt and co had planned them as one volume. Available in four-disc bookset and triple-vinyl editions, Deliverance & Damnation comes with 5.1 surround mixes, one by Steven Wilson and one by Bruce Soord, redesigned artwork and sleeve notes by Akerfeldt and Prog editor Jerry Ewing.

Akerfeldt says: "The 5.1 surround mix for Damnation was done a while ago by my buddy and co-producer for both albums, Steven Wilson - I've been itching to have it released as it's simply stunning!

"'Today' was one of the ones that Phil [Manzanera] put together from two or three pieces of music of mine that I had sort of ignored," says Gilmour. "He's very good at finding them and saying, 'that's great, you should it � and how about using it with that piece and that piece.' So he mocked that one up. It's a gift."

Due September 18, the 10-track set delivers five tunes with lyrics by the Pink Floyd guitarist's wife, author Polly Samson, and two by Gilmour alongside three instrumentals.

Dodge and Burn will be their first album in five years. Of course in the time since the band members have kept busy: drummer and leader Jack White has released two solo albums and toured, singer Alison Mosshart has worked with her main band the Kills, bassist Jack Lawrence has worked with his band the Greenhornes and guitarist/keyboardist Dean Fertita has played with Queens of the Stone Age.

He's been receiving medical care after developing a ketamine problem, which he revealed to fans last year. He's since returned to work with the band and they've just released fifth album That's The Spirit.

Sykes tells Metal Hammer: "It's funny that I've got to take a drug to stop doing other drugs. I have cut down on my medications - I'm trying harder. If I'm off it for just a day it's like the old me times a million, like I'm just stupid. But as soon as that hits I'm just working and have no time for fun.

He tells ToneDeaf: "The whole record, the whole idea of it was change. Early on we felt we had written four albums, which we really loved that were written to a very specific formula and with the same goals in mind: to be faster, heavier, harder the whole time.

Frontman Kevin Ghost says: "In the past we've written a lot of songs about very specific relationships or very specific situations that people go through. This is a broader spectrum - the message has to do with people opening their eyes and not being so tunnel-visioned.

With Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Lock-Up, Gorgoroth, Testament and Birmingham's hyperspeed agents of aggro Anaal Nathakh amongst his extensive resum�, Nick's proved to be one of the most demonically talented drummers in the extreme music scene, and one of the few who could reach the inhuman speeds necessary to take David Gray's place.

Filmed in Switzerland on their 2014 tour, the release is the follow-up to their previous concert film Live In Europe. The show was filmed just a week after the release of Flying Colors' second album Second Nature. Guitarist Steve Morse says: "It was especially exciting because we had just performed many of these songs for the first time, days before."

It can be heard in 5.1-surround recorded in two separate locations - behind the front-of-house soundboard, or in the front row. An audio-only version of the concert is available in Headphone Surround. The headphone mix will be available in formats designed especially for HD devices such as Pono.

Singer Casey McPherson adds: "We had a blast playing these tunes and can't wait for you to hear them. You can feel the excitement."

Bassist Martin 'Youth' Glover recently had the following to say about the album: "It's stark, brutal industrial suicide. It's the third in a truptich of albums - Absolute Dissent, MMXII and now Pylon.

It also includes studio recordings with Rick Wakeman and Star Trek icon William Shatner. Hillage, who says he'd been waiting for the right moment to release the recording, reports:

The show at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion saw the German rockers perform an 18-song of classic tracks and tunes from their latest album, "Return To Forever."

An expanded edition of the project was issued on September 11 in North America following its European spring release. The updated version includes seven bonus tracks and two exclusives: "Crazy Ride" and "One And One Is Three."

Directed by Jessie Hill, the clip sees Cornell making his acting debut in a Wild West setting alongside cameos by Eric Roberts (Runaway Train, Heroes, The Expendables) and W. Earl Brown (Deadwood).

Cornell recorded "Higher Truth" with producer Brendan O'Brien in Seattle. The Soundgarden frontman will launch the record with a 6-week theater tour of North America that will see $1 from every ticket sold going to the Chris And Vicky Cornell Foundation, a charitable organization that helps to protect the most vulnerable children facing problems such as homelessness, poverty, abuse or neglect.

Landreth recently had the following to say about the project: "Ever since The Road We're On in 2003, fans have been asking me, 'When are you going to do another blues album?'

They'll embark on a European tour next month, kicking off at the ProgPower festival in Baarlo, Netherlands, on October 4 before dates in Germany, the UK and France.

Guitarist Doug Ott said: "We are super excited to be headed back to Europe to play for our fans. It's been way too long and we're looking forward to being back on the road performing again, playing old favourites and a bunch of new material from The Great Divide."

Mainman Tuomas Seppala had the following to say: "This is one of the most melodic and vocal-driven album in our history. I have worked with without any limitations.

Seppala adds, "Our new vocalist, Capri Paivi Virkkunen, was able to bring tons of emotion with her sound and lyric writing. I'm sure this album will be our best so far."

The song "Turn On (The Radio)" is one of those tunes that came from riffing and jamming in the rehearsal space. I was working off of a little progression that myself and the guitar player at the time, Matt Johnson, were bouncing around. Usually when we're in that frame of mind I'll just start singing as "the spirit" moves me and see what comes out of my mouth... and when I did the words "turn on the radio" came out when we got near the chorus.

I kept thinking to myself that those lyrics were kind of lame and didn't really want to take them any further. But then when I got into the car to drive home that night I turned on the radio and began listening, as I usually did after late night rehearsals, to Jim Ladd's radio show. He used to have this show, on KLSX in LA, he did that was free-form radio and he would play whatever he wanted to and he really elevated the DJ thing to an art form. He did a show one time on Martin Luther Kings Birthday where he mixed together Dr. King's sermons and speeches with music from U2 and others... It nearly brought me to tears it was so touching. Anyway, I began to think that maybe the idea of "turning on the radio and playing all the records we already know" wasn't so goofy after all, and then I started thinking about the spirit of rebellion in all the music that had always influenced me from Woody Guthrie to Public Enemy and everything in between. And that even though they were talkin' about some heavy sh*t they were still having a good time.

In the immortal words of famed Anarchist Emma Goldman, "If I can't dance to it, it's not my revolution." So I started toying with ideas of us against them and imagined the idea of tuning into frequencies that could adjust and help equilibrate some of the imbalances in our social order, if you will. That's when the rest of the lyrics formed and fell into place.

We started playing it live quite awhile before we ever recorded it and so the guys in the band started throwing in different back-up vocal ideas and it really took shape as a sort of group anthem. When it came time to record it I really wanted to capture that '60s garage rock vibe so Jay Federici used his Vox Continental for the organ parts and we brought in Farayi Dominique to sing the backup vocals with the fellas and she gave the track a lot of soul!

It's a different sort of song than we're accustomed to as it's pretty much the same riff the entire song but the dynamics and passion seem to carry it along without out it getting stale or too repetitive... at least in my opinion. The screaming slide guitar wah wah solo might have som'n to do with that.
