Momento Dave Mustaine \\ Megadeth: shows cancelados depois de promotor se negar a pedir desculpas

O MEGADETH cancelou suas datas na Austrália depois de um promotor ter culpado a banda por remover o NEWSTED, banda de Jason Newsted, das datas dos shows que as bandas fariam paralelas ao Soundwave Festival.

Enquanto o promotor do festival, AJ Maddah, informou que a banda NEWSTED havia sido tirada do lineup a pedido do MEGADETH, um representante do Megadeth, Jim Carroccio, informou que o promotor em questão estava mentindo.

Na manhã de hoje o Megadeth cancelou as suas datas australianas com o seguinte comunicado no Facebook : "Devido a circunstâncias além do seu controle, infelizmente o MEGADETH teve de cancelar as suas datas na Austrália. A decisão do MEGADETH não tem relação com o fato de Jason Newsted tocar no Soundwave. Jason e eu nos falamos faz pouco tempo, e continuamos amigos."

Uma hora depois, em um outro post, Mustaine falou algo diferente: "Tudo o que eu pedi foi desculpas por terem me culpado por algo que eu não fiz. Eu ainda quero tocar, mas o promotor prefere não pedir desculpas e prefere dizer que eu pedi a ele que minta, o que eu não fiz. Apenas eu estou vendo como é fácil resolver isso? O [promotor australiano e do Soundwave] AJ Maddah que eu conheço é um cara sábio e cuidadoso, e eu não sei o que aconteceu com meu velho amigo. Minhas malas estão prontas, fãs da Austrália."

GIGANTOUR 2013 \\ JASON NEWSTED Joins MEGADETH On Stage For Performance Of METALLICA Classic

Former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted performed the classic METALLICA song "Phantom Lord" with MEGADETH last night (Sunday, August 11) at the final show of this summer's Gigantour in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Check out fan-filmed video footage of his appearance below.

Newsted, who quit METALLICA in February 2001, is the frontman of a new band, simply called NEWSTED, which took part in this year's edition of Gigantour, the critically acclaimed package festival founded in 2005 by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine.

Speaking to Artisan News at the August 6 NEWSTED signing session at Looney Tunes in West Babylon, New York, Jason stated about how the idea for the jam came about: "It was mostly created by kind of rumor and agents and managers and things like that early on when we were putting together the structure of this tour, that 'maybe you and Jay can play a song.' It was never something that I said or that Dave said, it was [something] that managers said to us."

He continued: "I'm open to jam with anybody whenever anybody wants to jam — I think that's not really a secret or nothing — so if the dude calls out 'Phantom Lord', I'll sing or play bass guitar or whatever he wants; that's all fine.

"As a fan, jamming with Dave, coming from back here… 'Cause I was a fan of Dave before we were brothers and peers and stuff like that. So, man, if he wants to jam, I'm open to that, of course."
Mustaine previously hinted that he would invite Newsted up on stage to perform a song Dave co-wrote during his short tenure with the band.

Addressing his followers on Twitter, Mustaine wrote: "If I play a song I wrote in @Metallica w/@JasonCNewsted, which should it be?"

Mustaine then listed the following METALLICA tracks for fans to choose from:
* Ride The Lightning
* The Call Of Ktulu
* Metal Militia
* Phantom Lord
* Jump In The Fire
* The Four Horsemen

Mustaine, who was one of the original members of METALLICA, was fired from the band by drummer Lars Ulrich in 1983. He was replaced by Kirk Hammett and went on to form MEGADETH and achieve worldwide success on his own.

LYRIC videos \\ NEWSTED: 'Above All' Lyric Video Released

The official lyric video for the song "Above All" from NEWSTED — the new band featuring former METALLICA, VOIVOD and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM bassist Jason Newsted and STAIND guitarist Mike Mushok — can be seen below. The track comes off NEWSTED's debut album, "Heavy Metal Music", which will be released on August 6 in North America via Chophouse Records/Collective Sounds and August 5 in Europe through Spinefarm Records. Jason told Billboard.com the 11-song album will be very similar to the band's debut EP, "Metal", which sold around 6,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 62 on The Billboard 200 chart. "The EP was always intended to be the primer, a sampler of what was to come on the LP," he said. "It's all metal all the time. It's not all fast, but it is all heavy."

Regarding how the material for NEWSTED's debut album came together, Jason told Loudwire: "It started out as my seeds for the first eleven songs that I made on my GarageBand thing. I wrote all the tracks — guitars, bass, drums, everything and gave them to Jessie [Farnsworth, guitar] and Jesus [Mendez Jr., drums] and had them go learn it, put their artistry on it and so it was collaborative in that way for the first batch. Like the four songs on the EP came from that initial eleven, so that's how those songs went. Each day as we get deeper into the songs, the collaboration gets deeper as well. I have come a long way from my tunnel vision of 'Only my ideas are good enough' bullshit, and I'm a lot more open to everyone's ideas and the artistry of each person to make it what it is. And three heads is better than one and that kind of thing. So it has become more collaborative as we go. I've written ten more since that time in October last year and a few of them have made their way onto this LP now. Once again, they were all my seeds, but now that we have Mike Mushok in the band and I give the music to all three of those guys, now I have three great artists bringing back their responses and their counterpoint playing to my ideas, so it's becoming more and more collaborative every day and on this LP there will be shared writing credits on at least half of the songs with the writing credits now."

"Heavy Metal Music" track listing:

01. Heroic Dose
02. Soldierhead
03. ...As The Crow Flies
04. Ampossible
05. Long Time Dead
06. Above All
07. King Of The Underdogs
08. Nocturnus
09. Twisted Tail Of The Comet
10. Kindevillusion
11. Futureality

As previously reported, three songs from NEWSTED — "Long Time Dead", "King Of The Underdogs" and "Heroic Dose" — are featured in the newest episode of Break Media's hit web series "Man At Arms".

NEWSTED's heavy metal pairs as background for the gritty series, which follows famous Hollywood blacksmith Tony Swatton as he builds real-life versions of iconic pop-culture ("Pirates Of The Caribbean", "The Matrix", "Spider-Man", etc.) weapons by hand.

NEWSTED is taking part in this year's edition of Gigantour, the critically acclaimed package festival founded in 2005 by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. Also appearing on the bill are headliners MEGADETH, along with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, DEVICE, HELLYEAH and DEATH DIVISION.

NEWSTED is being forced to miss this week's Gigantour dates in Canada after Jason was diagnosed with "walking pneumonia."

NEWSTED kicked off its first-ever U.S. tour on April 19 at Red House in Walnut Creek, California. The 14-date trek concluded on May 23 in Asbury Park, New Jersey and led into a number of European festival appearances for the band.

GIGANTOUR 2013 \\ Gigantour: Jason Newsted ausente devido a pneumonia

De acordo com a página oficial no Facebook de DAVE MUSTAINE (frontman do MEGADETH), JASON NEWSTED não se apresentará com a banda devido a uma pneumonia.
No fim da tarde de ontem (21/07), Mustaine publicou a seguinte nota: "Update - Jason Newsted won't be with us for a bit. He has walking pneumonia. Get well soon! ‪#‎Gigantour‬ ‪#‎Newsted‬" (Atualização - JN não estará conosco. Ele está com pneumonia).

SEFOTEU\\ Jason Newsted: derrubado do palco por fã em New York

O ex-baixista do METALLICA, JASON NEWSTED, estava se apresentando no Highline Ballroom de NYC na noite passada com sua atual banda, NEWSTED, quando as coisas ficaram um pouco tensas.

No meio de uma versão para “Whiplash”, um fã pulou no palco, pareceu tentar um stage dive para o meio da plateia, mas ao invés disso, chapou com as costas de Newsted, o que derrubou ambos do palco para o meio do público.

Os presentes apararam o fã enquanto gritavam com ele, e um segurança imediatamente arrancou o sujeito do local utilizando seu braço em volta do pescoço do transeunte, seguido por outros membros da equipe de segurança.

Visivelmente desorientado da queda de cerca de um metro e meio que poderia ter sido bastante pior caso ele tivesse caído em outra posição, Newsted voltou ao palco com a ajuda da segurança, e teve que substituir um monitor de ouvido, antes de dirigir-se aos pagantes.

“Sabe, não importa quantos shows eu já tenha feito, é a primeira vez que isso aconteceu… eu confio em meus irmãos aqui para tomarem conta disso. Alguém viu bem quem era aquele filho da puta? Não matem ele, apenas machuquem ele um pouco.”

Traduza\\ STAIND Guitarist Is 'Totally Down' For Playing With NEWSTED

NEWSTED will release its full-length debut this summer, around the time of the group's appearance at this year's Download festival in June.

"It was obvious from the word go that Mike is one of us," says Jason. "Professional, focused, happy and grateful to be able to make our beautiful noise together!"

"I loved the old-school vibe of [NEWSTED's] 'Metal' EP, and when we got together to jam, it really felt great," adds Mushok.

"STAIND is taking a break for a while, so when Jason asked if I was interested in joining them to record an album and play on the upcoming tour, it was perfect timing. All I could say was, 'Hell yeah! I'm totally down for this.'"

Premiere\\ NEWSTED: 'Soldierhead' Video Released

"Soldierhead", the first video from NEWSTED, the band fronted by former METALLICA, VOIVOD and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM bassist Jason Newsted, can be seen below. Directed by Leon Melas, the clip was filmed on December 15, 2012 in an abandoned factory in California.

In a recent interview with Sonic Excess, Newsted stated about the video shoot: "It's just a simple thing, and I just wanted to capture the band. There is no heavy concept, no literal thing about bullets chasing your head or any of those things. It's old-school metal and most likely will be black and white. It was shot in an old factory. It was a gnarly, dusty, old factory and it had energy. That is what I will describe it as. I haven't got to play to the camera like that for a long time, and I was really going for it. The soldier version is something everyone will have. An HD version will be available on iTunes, but I want everyone to have it for free across the world. I want it to be the tip of the spear for everybody to see and hear what exactly it's all about."

"Soldierhead" was premiered on the December 17, 2012 edition of the "Eddie Trunk Live" show on SiriusXM satellite radio. The song comes off NEWSTED's four-song EP, entitled "Metal", which was released on January 8 exclusively via iTunes. The EP will be made available as a physical CD on January 15.

"Metal" contains the following tracks:

* Soldierhead
* Godsnake
* King Of The Underdogs
* Skyscraper
