Disturbed Frontman Slams Critics Of X Factor Appearance

He tells LA Weekly: "Axl's the one that presented me with this gig. It was his idea. He gave me this opportunity. He could fire me tomorrow. I try and give him my best, my all, all the time."

He adds: "If there's ever any rift, I'm going to take his side. It's not even a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. You can formulate all this stuff in your head and get worked up, but I know if I ask him about anything that doesn't make sense, when he explains it, it sets everything straight."

When asked whether lineup changes have affected his morale over the years, he replies: "It's just drama in the workplace. No matter who is playing in the band, we work really, really hard to make it work.

He tried out as potential replacement for Ace Frehley in 1983, but he already suspected he wasn't the right man for the job. Sambora tells Metal Express Radio: "I didn't really know what I was doing back then, and I didn't really want the gig.

They will be beginning the trek on January 17th in San Diego, Ca at the House of Blues and will wrap up on February 9th at The Dome at Toyota Presents Oakdale in Wallingford, CT.

Shadows tells Loudwire: "I'm glad that we can add something new to the fold that Metallica's not going to bring to the table, and they're going to do what they do.

The Edge received his award from Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood, quipping "I'm no Jeff Beck!" (Wood, of course, was bassist in the Jeff Beck Group back in the '60s.)

But he's grateful for the inspiration his terror has provided over the years. The band just released latest EP Popestar, and they're continuing work on their fourth full-length album, expected next year.

The Ghoul tells Rock 108: "I grew up watching a lot of films that I should have, way too early, which has led to a lifelong fear of the dark. I cannot be alone in the house and all kinds of stuff.

But he's revealed he hasn't written anything for the record yet, even though he'd normally be several songs into the project by this time. The band will take a break during 2017 - but the mainman has confirmed that plans are in the diary for 2018, 2019 and 2020.

She posted a lengthy message on her Facebook page about entering her twenties in a post titled "A NOTE FROM THE DESK OF A NEWBORN ADULT."

She wrote in part, "I was 16 when most of us met. Can you believe it? I laugh thinking about that me now - that glossy idiot god, princess of her childhood streets, handmade and ugly and sure of herself. All my life I've been obsessed with adolescence, drunk on it. Even when I was little, I knew that teenagers sparkled. I knew they knew something children didn't know, and adults ended up forgetting. Since 13 I've spent my life building this giant teenage museum, mausoleum maybe, dutifully wolfishly writing every moment down, and repeating it all back like folklore. And now there isn't any more of it."

Cam is currently on her very first headlining trek, dubbed The Burning House Tour, which kicked off October 27 in Chicago, IL at Joe's Bar On Weed Street.
