Have you heard any of the new Alter Bridge album yet? It’s called ABIII – I bought it last week and it is a very strong candidate for my album of 2010. ABIII is available now from Amazon.co.uk in CD
format or as a digital download.

Thanks to Music Radar for this story.

You just know this isn’t going to end well. Tyler is flirting with American Idol, Perry is becoming increasingly pissed with Tyler. There may be blood. And *sob* guitars are getting hurt. End this madness now, ya numptys.

A huge blow to the Glastonbury festival organisers and fans when it became clear Bono (who underwent emergency surgery on his back after after injuring himself and experiencing partial paralysis in his legs during rehearsals for the band’s current tour) wouldn’t be fit in time for the festival and that U2 would have to pull out of Glasto.  Then Jimmy Page went on record (well, in the Sun newspaper) stating he wouldn’t rule out a Led Zep reunion to fill in for U2. A real case of Oh NNNnnnn… YEEESS if it comes to pass!  Having said that, Coldplay are also rumoured to be interested in stepping in. Not so good.

The death of Slipknot bass player Paul Gray is still not explained as police await the results of a toxicology screen as part of an autopsy on Paul’s body. “Maggots” (Slipknot fans) around the world are still in shock at Paul’s death. Watch this space for more news.

The Rolling Stones remastered album, Exile on Main Street hits the album chart top spot – the Stones’ first number one for more than 16 years!

Any other news… hmmm… Yes – I’m just back from Paris, France.  Had a great time ta very much. Was entertained by a George Bush-hating guitarist on the steps of the Sacre Coeur.  I didn’t have the heart to tell him Obama got in. Took some poor quality video which I may fire up here.  Or not.

Peace

Several more acts have been announced for the Download 2010 Festival. The full list of additional acts is below and they join the likes of AC/DC, Deftones, Rage Against the Machine, Aerosmith, Megadeth and the Stone Temple Pilots. Additional acts include Slash, Cancer Bats, The Damned Things, Porcupine Tree, White Wizzard, The Used and many more. Interesting that Slash and the Stone Temple Pilots are both set to play the Sunday evening. Former Velvet Revolver vocalist Scott Weiland left VR to rejoin STP in less than amicable circumstances (allegedly) – in one of the Classic Rock Slash Pack interviews with Slash, he mentions that although things were tough when both he and Weiland were in Velvet Revolver together, everything is cooler between them now that they’re apart. Scott blames the WAGS. Velvet Revolver have yet to find a replacement for Weiland and Slash is in no hurry since rushing to put VR together is why they took Weiland on in the first place. Speculation over the choice of replacement vocalist is rife (names banded about include Myles Kennedy (currently touring with Slash’s band and Engelbert Humperdinck).

Anyway… back to the original thread – went off on a tangent… sorry. The additional announced Download 2010 acts are:

Slash
Porcupine Tree
Michael Monroe
The Used
The Damned Things
Atreyu
Cancer Bats
Senser
Sweethead
Breed 77
Nonpoint
No Americana
Halestorm
Flyleaf
White Wizzard
Rock Sugar
Holy Grail
Straight Lines
Tiger Please
Revoker
Young Guns
Tyketto
Year Long Disaster
Enuff Z’Nuff
Panic Cell
Glamour Of The Kill
Sybreed
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter
As I Lay Dying
Zebrahead
