Axl Rose veut des sousous

Activision enchaîne les procès d'artistes relatifs à Guitar Hero comme des perles. Dernier en date, celui que lui intente Axl Rose, chanteur des Guns N'Roses, au sujet de l'utilisation de la chanson Welcome to the Jungle. Monsieur Rose avait particulièrement insisté (et par écrit) sur le fait qu'il refusait que Slash, l'ancien guitariste du groupe, apparaisse dans le jeu et encore moins en rapport avec le titre en question. Précisons qu'Axl Rose fait tout pour que Slash ne soit jamais associé aux Guns d'une manière générale. Hors, non seulement Slash est présent dans le jeu, mais il est même carrément sur sa couverture et on peut le voir jouer de la guitare sur la chanson Welcome to the Jungle. Axl Rose est même encore plus en pétard depuis qu'il sait que des titres du nouveau groupe de Slash sont disponibles en téléchargement. Du coup, il attaque Activision pour rupture de contrat (entre autres choses) et leur réclame 20 millions de dollars, soit environ 15 millions d'euros.

King Diamond vient de subir un triple pontage, il s'en est sorti mais toutes les activités de son groupe sont repoussées à une date indéterminée.
On a failli perdre une autre légende du metal en 2010... Neutral

On Monday the 29th of November, King had to be transported to the nearby hospital by ambulance. After several different tests were done and the EKG machine showing abnormalities, the doctors recommended that he get a cardiac catheterization.

"Cardiac catheterization is a procedure where the doctors lead a very thin tube up from the leg and into the heart, where it injects dye into the bloodstream. Then a camera at the end of the tube takes many pictures of the heart's arteries, looking for blockages.

"After this was done, they determined that King had several heart attacks, and three of his heart's arteries were the cause: one was completely blocked, the second was 90% blocked, and the third was 65% blocked. The only solution to this was an open-heart triple-bypass surgery.

"If you are interested in the details of how this surgery is performed, please look it up online. I will only touch on the basics. The sternum (breastbone) is cut in half and pulled apart, to expose the heart. Veins are harvested from other places of the body, in King's case it was his left leg and chest wall. The person is then hooked up to a machine that practically does the job of the heart, circulating and oxygenating the blood. The heart is then stopped, and the lungs collapse (the lungs stop working since the blood is being oxygenated by the machine). The surgeon then sews the harvested veins in place, bypassing the found blockages. Once the surgery is done, the surgeon moves the ribs and breastbone back into place and wires it together. The chest is closed as well. They use an electric pulse to start the heart and a breathing machine is lead into the lungs to restart breathing.

"King's surgery took approximately seven hours. Everything went well, and King was taken to ICU for recovery. He was walking and eating solid food already two days after the operation, and he was the first one in the history of the hospital who walked on his own power from the ICU to normal care.

"10 days after the ambulance took him to the emergency room, he is at home and is recovering well. It will be a few months before he feels completely normal and is without pain.

"He would like to mention here that he's eternally grateful for the wonderful staff at Centennial Medical Center who took care of him. Dr. Kourlis, Dr. Kamili, Dr. Alang, Nurse Christie and Nurse Thomas among many others made sure that he got the best care and attention he could ever have hoped for. They were always very nice to me, too, letting me stay overnight in the ICU after visiting hours were over.

"In light of this, he will be taking a break from music and the music business altogether until further notice. He very much wants to write new music, finish the DVDs, and go on tour, but for now, all those things are in the distant future and he's not thinking about them.

"Please understand that the KING DIAMOND band is not stopping, disbanding or anything of the sort. King's health is first priority, and when everything is going good with him, the music will resume.

"Thank you all very much for reading this and STAY HEAVY."

Roy Khan est remplacé par Fabio Lione sur la tournée de Kamelot.

Unfortunately, we have been informed that, due to continuing medical and personal issues, Roy Khan will not be able to finish the remaining touring in support of Kamelot's album, Poetry for the Poisoned...

However, we are pleased to announce that metal icon Fabio Lione (Rhapsody Of Fire, Vision Divine, ex-Labyrinth) will be joining the tour and handling the lead vocal duties. There will also be guest vocal appearances throughout the tour by Simone Simons (Epica), Tommy Karevik (Seventh Wonder), and many more surprise guests throughout this very special and rare tour.

Fabio Lione is eager to get on the road, stating: "I am excited and pleased to be part of the next Kamelot tour. I always loved the sound of the band and I think this will be a great experience for me, the band and for all the fans of great music and Kamelot... see you soon on tour and let's rock!"

Ca fait combien de tournées que Khan se fait remplacer ? J'ai l'impression que ça commence à chiffrer.

Ah merde! Il lui arrive quoi, à Roy?

Avenged Sevenfold a trouvé son nouveau batteur. C'est Arin Ilejay, qui jouait chez les Metalcoreux de Confide (http://www.myspace.com/confide).

After the untimely passing of original Avenged Sevenfold drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater stepped into the massive void. However, Portnoy’s stint with the band was not a permanent one, and Avenged Sevenfold has been eagerly searching for a new drummer. It seems the search has come to an end, as the band announced Arin Ilejay would be the new Avenged Sevenfold drummer.

“We’ve rehearsed with Arin and have been impressed with his technical skills, attitude and work ethic,” explained Avenged Sevenfold in a statement. “We’re very excited to tour with Arin and hope all of you will give him the warm welcome to the family we have.”

According to Avenged Sevenfold, they were looking for someone who had a style similar to Jimmy’s. Although The Rev can never be replaced, the band felt that Ilejay would come closest to continuing Jimmy’s legacy.

“We recently asked several friends who knew Jimmy and his style, and also knew our music and each of our personalities to suggest drummers to tour with us starting this year,” Avenged Sevenfold explained. “Our long time studio drum tech, Mike Fasano, recommended Arin Ilejay.”

J'attends avec impatience le nouveau message-fleuve geignard de Portnoy disant à quel point il est outré que le groupe mentionne pas dans son communiqué que ça a été génial de jouer avec lui.

Tiens, Kevin Talley a rejoint Six Feet Under suite au départ de la section rythmique du groupe (Terry Butler est officiellement devenu membre d'Obituary et le batteur s'est barré aussi). Le nouveau bassiste de SFU n'est pas encore connu.
