As I Lay Dying Singer Sues Over His Enlarged Breasts

The 10-disc box set will include six studio albums beginning with the group's 1995 debut "Cheshire Cat" through their 2011 release "Neighborhoods" as well as the 2000 live album "The Mark, Tom & Travis Show: The Enema Strikes Back!".

Taylor tells Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones' radio show Jonesy's Jukebox: "I've had to kind of reassess what I do live. The positive is that I love the challenge of it.

"Maybe I've relied on those things for too long, let's see if I can get through a show or a tour without having to go to these kind of mainstays. And the shows have been great. I've been damn near on pitch-wise, my stamina's a lot better. It's like I'm really kind of filling in all these weird blanks."

"We've been invited back to chat with our great friend and always loyal Metallica supporter Howard Stern this Monday, September 26th and he's even asked us play a few songs live!," says the band. "Tune into The Howard Stern Show on Howard Stern's exclusive SiriusXM channel Howard 100 and if you don't have a SiriusXM subscription, the great team there has set it up so that you can still check out the show at siriusxm.com/howardfreetrial.

"Later that day, we'll record a special edition of SiriusXM's Town Hall series answering questions from a select group listeners in the SiriusXM studios in New York City. The Town Hall special, hosted by music journalist, SiriusXM host and another long time great friend to the band, David Fricke, will air on the Mandatory Metallica channel, which makes a return on Wednesday, November 16th, two days before Hardwired� hits the streets."

Vintage Vinyl News reports the project - which presents live recordings selected from Led Zeppelin's appearances on BBC Radio between 1969 and 1971 - enters the Official Album Charts at No. 3, marking the highest UK chart spot for the group since 1979's "In Through The Out Door" landed at No. 1.

The 11 dates are due to get underway in October, with Blythe's appearances coming on the back of Eyehategod's two August shows which featured Phil Anselmo on lead vocals.

Blythe says in a statement: "Anyone who knows me well knows I am a massive Eyehategod fan. I've seen them play more times than I can remember. I wear their merch - I even have a freaking Eyehategod tattoo that I got in New Orleans. They are one of my favourite bands of all time.

"So it's a bit difficult for me to say, 'I'm super-happy that I've been asked to fill in for Mike Williams.' In fact, I can't honestly say that at all because no one would rather see Mike do this tour more than myself.

Superjoint were previously known as Superjoint Ritual and switched to the shorter name for unspecified legal reasons. On the theme of the album, former Pantera frontman Anselmo says: "The overall theme means many things, or no things, but there is an underlying message regardless, about how modern technology - computers and all that comes with them, mainly - has affected our lives.

"As a musician, it has affected my life both negatively, with music being stolen, and positively - being in touch with fellow musicians around the world and staying visible.

Now Mariusz Duda, Piotr Kozieradzki and Michal Lapaj have released a statement confirming they'll continue - and plan to play their first live set on the anniversary of Grudzinski death.

The band say: "We have decided that we are not going to do a casting for a new guitarist. Thus we have ceased to be a quartet and have become a trio. In this lineup we will prepare our new studio album. Both in the recording studio and on tour - if we get back to touring - we will be playing with session guitarists, who are our friends. But the lineup of Riverside will be as shown in the picture.

"Yes, we do realise that this is not going to be the same band. We know that for many of you the story of Riverside ends here, this year, and that Eye Of The Soundscape might be the last Riverside album you'll buy.

Page and Elliott are announced alongside Philippine superstars Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo and will join the previously announced artists Jeff Beck, Cheap Trick, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Phil Collen of Def Leppard, Richie Sambora, Orianthi and Thai band Slot Machine.

Hersh will be launching the tour in support of her forthcoming double CD/ book "Wyatt at the Coyote Palace," which is set to be released on November 11, 2016.

The news was confirmed by Dural's manager Ted Fox, who reports: "It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that our great, beloved leader Stanley 'Buckwheat' Dural, Jr. has passed away.

"He died at 1:32am Louisiana time, keeping musician's hours right to the bitter end. I am grieving for my best friend and colleague of more than 30 years. But, as this great road warrior once said, 'Life is a tour, and it's all about how you decide to get where you're going. I don't want to ignore the bad things in life, but I want to emphasise the good things.'

The tune follows the lead single, "Show Me A Leader", and follow-up, "My Champion" as the latest preview to the group's fifth studio album, which will be released on October 7.

The dates are in support of The Pineapple Thief's 11th studio album Your Wilderness, which was released last month via Kscope. Harrison played drums on the record.

Mainman Bruce Soord says: "We always said that we couldn't imagine touring the material live without Gavin on stage. We're so excited that we have made it happen. It's a real once in a lifetime event."

The Pineapple Thief will also be joined buy additional guitarist Darran Charles for the tour. Godsticks man Charles was a guest on Your Wilderness, along with Harrison, Supertramp's John Helliwell and Caravan's Geoffrey Richardson.

The special four-date acoustic tour will be kicking off on December 15th in Margate, FL at O'Malleys and will conclude on December 18th in Jacksonville at 1904.

And they've called on fans to pack out the venue for the special night, with tickets available for $20. Speaking about Between The Buried And Me's musical direction, bassist Dan Briggs said that ignoring the rules of songwriting is what makes a band progressive.

He said: "To me, it's forward thinking, it's writing about boundaries without worrying about song length or structure. Really, no rules I guess. Especially when you've been around as long as we have, it's constantly trying to do something new.

Frontman Winston McCall said of the follow up to 2012's Atlas: "We had a band meeting and it turned out all of us were thinking the same thing - none of us would get creative fulfillment out of writing another Parkway metalcore album.

"Well, it's really 49 years," laughs bassist/vocalist Roger Newell. "Because we recorded it in 1967, although it was finally put out the next year." The English band actually split up in 69 after just a couple of years together, since which time all those involved - Newell, guitarist/vocalist John Dunsterville, his brother Richard on vocals/guitar and Stewart Osborn on drums/vocals - have been involved with many other projects; Newell and John Dunsterville, for instance were both part of Rick Wakeman's English Rock Ensemble for a time, while Osborn worked with Gerry Anderson on his classic series Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90.

"We have all kept in touch," says Newell. "But over the years never thought about a reunion. Then Ray Bates, who runs Footprints Vinyl, sold his second original copy of Sallies Fforth for about �1000 a couple of years ago. He happened to bump into John shortly afterwards, told him what price he'd gotten, Then asked if he might consider doing a new album! John was taken by surprise, but called me and put the idea forward. I thought it might be fun, and we've gone from there."

Guitarist Keshav Dhar says: "Chemical Hands is possibly the boldest, most experimental song we have written to date. After releasing two fairly straightforward singles, we felt it was time to let rip and showcase the more bizarre and angry side of the upcoming new record.

"Michael Di Lonardo has created an absolutely stunning video for the song, perfectly representing the lyrical theme while being ambiguous enough for fans to pick their brains and stroke their goatees over. We're stoked, and we hope our fans will be too."

The modern melodic metal project with European roots is back on the scene after a two year hiatus and line up change that features William Lancaster along with the multi-instrumentalist Rogan McAndrews to join founding band members Evgeniy Zayarny, Nikita Ryzhenkov plus Samuel Royce.

This song, "In the Indies" is from a musical I have written, based on stories told to me by my parents of events that occurred when they were growing up living across the street from each other in a section of Kansas City, Kansas, called "Armourdale."

The story begins during the great depression of the 1930s, and ends in 1951, when the worst flood in Kansas City's history devastated the area and my parents had to leave. My band, "The Kontroversy", has released a CD of the songs from the musical, titled "Armourdale." Accompanying the CD is a booklet that includes the lyrics to the songs and a brief description of what is happening in the story when each song is sung. At the part of the story when this song is performed, my Dad is in the Navy. The crew has received their orders to go to Panama, but one of the sailors would prefer to go to the West Indies.
