Traduza\\ DAVE LOMBARDO Taps AMEN Singer For Resurrected GRIP INC.

SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo revealed to Greece's Rock Overdose in a new interview that Casey Chaos from AMEN will front a resurrected version of Lombardo's GRIP INC. project. A tour is in the works, with the possibility that a new studio album will follow.

GRIP INC.'s fourth studio LP, "Incorporated", was released in March 2004 through SPV Records. The follow-up to 1999's "Solidify" was recorded and mixed at Woodhouse studios in Hagen, Germany and was produced by the group's guitarist, Waldemar Sorychta (THE GATHERING, LACUNA COIL, SENTENCED, MOONSPELL).

GRIP INC.'s lineup also included vocalist Gus Chambers, who died on October 13, 2008 at the age of 52. Chambers reportedly took his own life.

Lombardo, Chaos, EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt and ex-QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE bassist Nick Oliveri recently joined forces to record music for a documentary about House Of Shock, the infamous New Orleans haunted house attraction founded in 1992 by ex-PANTERA frontman Philip Anselmo. Helming the sessions was producer Ross Robinson (SLIPKNOT, KORN, DEFTONES), who was approached to provide music for the film by director Dean Karr (best known for his landmark videos for MARILYN MANSON) and producer Sean E. Demott.

Traduza\\ MEGADETH: 'Super Collider' Cover Artwork Unveiled

The cover artwork for MEGADETH's new album, "Super Collider", can be seen below. The CD is scheduled for a June 4 release via MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine's new label, Tradecraft, which is distributed by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe). Horn player Bob Findley — who previously appeared on the track "Silent Scorn" from MEGADETH's 2001 CD, "The World Needs A Hero" — is a featured guest on the song "A House Divided" on the new album. Other tracks set to appear on the effort include "Forget To Remember", "Dance In The Rain", "The Blackest Crow", "Super Collider", "Burn", "King Maker" and "Don't Turn Your Back", a snippet of which can be streamed at MegadethGame.com.

In a recent interview with the "Shockwaves"/"HardRadio" podcast, Mustaine stated about the "Super Collider" title track and cover artwork: "I was up in Santa Barbara, and USA Today, as a newspaper, I started reading a long time ago because it had Sudoku in it. I'm not really down with a lot of the viewpoints of the newspaper, but I kind of got used to reading it because of the puzzles in it — 'cause I love word puzzles; I like to enrich my word power. And there was a story in there about how they finally had identified the mass that goes around the molecules and stuff; it's called the Higgs Boson and we had done that with the Super Collider. And I thought, 'Wow, that's a really cool story.' Actually, the stuff's called the 'God particle.' And I thought, knowing how closed-minded people are with my faith and thinking that that's gonna change who I am as a person — which it did — and that that would also correlate into changing my guitar playing, which it didn't, I didn't wanna have a song called 'God Particle', because every village has its idiots, and unfortunately for me, a bunch of them follow me on the Internet. So we opted to call it 'Super Collider'. And this first song is kind of, like, a song about no matter how bad things get, come with me, we'll take the high road and we'll hang out and have a great time and we'll stick together until the end of the world, so to speak, when the world explodes like a Super Collider. Because the whole theory of the super collider is atoms swirling into one another at millions of miles an hour, I guess. I love the concept, I love the artwork that we have for this record — it's the Hadron Collider, and that is a remarkable machine. And if you look at the Super Collider, the thing itself — whether it does a damn bit of good or not, nobody really knows; I don't know how it's gonna correlate to lowering gas prices or anything like that, or getting people to stop trying to run everybody's lives right now and the dumbing down of America… But it's really cool if you look at how big it is. A lot of pictures on the 'Net will show this enormous machinery and guys the size of ants next to it. And the one picture that we used for our cover was, like I said, the Hadron Collider and it's just beautiful stuff, man. Science is really interesting. I mean, I don't believe in evolution, I believe in creation, so science only goes so far with me, but I really dig looking at that whole way that's set up with the tubing and the piping and the reactors and all the stuff that goes along with it. You have to see it for yourself."

"Super Collider" is MEGADETH's first release since its recent split with Roadrunner Records.

Declarações\\ Ghost: "Nós nunca, nunca, nunca nos chamaremos Ghost B.C"

O blog italiano Soundsblog.it recentemente conduziu uma entrevista com um dos fantasmas sem nome da misteriosa banda sueca, GHOST. Você pode ler um dos trechos abaixo.

Sobre ser chamado GHOST B.C nos Estados Unidos por razões legais.
“B.C é obviamente um trocadilho com ‘Before Christ’ (antes de Cristo, em português), mas é apenas uma emenda. No nosso mundo, nós seremos chamados de GHOST, e quando nós nos referirmos aos nossos discos, será a versão escandinava, escrito GHOST apenas, e nós nunca, nunca, nunca, nunca, nunca iremos nos chamar GHOST B.C de qualquer maneira. É como dizer ‘Eu irei sair e comprar uma Ferrari STE’ – você não faz isso, você apenas diz – ‘Eu irei comprar uma Ferrari’. O B.C é silencioso, e o mais rápido que conseguirmos, será retirado para sempre”.

Rocknews\\ Black Sabbath: "tocaremos as mais famosas e algumas obscuras"

Geezer Butler, baixista do Black Sabbath, em entrevista ao Metal Forge afirmou que o set list da nova tour da banda, que passa pelo Brasil em outubro, terá os grandes sucessos como Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs e Children of the Grave, mas que "é sempre bom incluir canções mais obscuras também".
Nos primeiros shows da reunião ano passado, a banda já havia surpreendido tendo tocado canções como Under the Sun, Wheels of Confusion e Tomorrow's Dream (curiosamente todas do mesmo álbum: Vol. 4).

Será que desta vez podemos esperar por uma Supernaut?
O baixista afirmou também que com certeza algumas canções de 13, o novo álbum, serão incluídas no set também.
Butler também se recordou das primeiras experiências do Sabbath em estúdio: "eram estúdios com mesas de 4 canais. Gravamos o primeiro álbum em 2 dias. O segundo álbum em 5 dias. Era quase como se gravássemos um disco ao vivo", e revelou quem foi sua inspiração para se tornar baixista: "naquela época todos que viam o Cream focavam no Eric Clapton. Eu só olhava para Jack Bruce. Ninguém tocava baixo como ele".

RUMOURS\\ Iron Maiden & Slayer: shows pelo Brasil após o Rock in Rio?

É o que afirma José Norberto Flesch, em seu Twitter e no site do Jornal Destak.
Outros músicos que tocarão no Rock in Rio também farão turnê pelo Brasil depois. John Mayer e Rob Zombie, por exemplo, ainda não têm datas definidas. O Metallica tem planos de se apresentar em São Paulo e Belo Horizonte. Jon Bon Jovi anunciou na Globo que a banda tocará em São Paulo também.

Mas a melhor de todas é: Iron Maiden e Slayer juntos em São Paulo, Curitiba e Porto Alegre. Ainda sem datas definidas. Flesch também afirma que a turnê conjunta se estenderá para o Paraguai, Chile e Argentina.

Premiere\\ ROB ZOMBIE: 'Dead City Radio And The New Gods Of Supertown' Video Released

The official video for "Dead City Radio And The New Gods Of Supertown", the first single from Rob Zombie's eagerly awaited new album, "Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor", can be seen below. Zombie himself directed the clip, which is described by the rocker as "pretty fucking cool.' He adds: "For all of you hoping for an old-school, weirdo-style Zombie video… well, you are gonna get it. Big time!"

"Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor" will be released on April 23 on Zodiac Swan/T-Boy/Ume. The CD was produced by Bob Marlette, who has previously worked with everyone from BLACK SABBATH and ALICE COOPER to WILSON PHILLIPS and LYNYRD SKYNYRD.

Asked what the story is behing the album's title, Rob told Revolver magazine: "There's no real story behind it. I just thought of it one day. With every album I've ever made, we'll get it basically one hundred percent done and everyone will go, 'OK, what's the title?' And I'm like, 'I don't know what the fuckin' title is yet. It hasn't hit me.' And then one day I'll just blurt out, 'La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1!' or 'Hellbilly Deluxe!' It's the same with this one. I have it written down somewhere, but I don't remember doing it."

He added: "Truthfully, the whole record was conceived as a concept album. But I'm not really selling it that way. I was getting obsessed watching things like 'Tommy', 'The Wall', 'Quadrophenia', where you have a movie to go with the album and it's a whole big concept. So I thought I'd write this album with that in mind: That maybe one day — it could be a year, it could be 10 years — I could turn the concept of this record into a movie. That being said, nothing about the concept of the record will make any sense to anyone until it's a movie. The band doesn't even know the storyline. No one does, except me. But I won't discuss it because it'll all make sense someday. Or it won't. [laughs] lt doesn't matter. The songs work fine even if you don't know the concept."

Regarding his decision to include a a heavy-duty cover of GRAND FUNK RAILROAD's "We're An American Band" on "Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor", Rob said: "I've never recorded a cover song as a solo artist, and I only recorded a few with WHITE ZOMBIE [KISS' 'God Of Thunder', BLACK SABBATH's 'Children Of The Grave' and KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND's 'I'm Your Boogie Man']. But you always wanna add new songs into your live show, so [Zombie's guitarist] John 5 and I would always sit in the back of the bus listening to stuff we could cover, but it was always like, 'Nah, that one's not right.' Cover songs are tricky. You gotta find just the right one. 'We're An American Band' hit us because it just felt so much like our life. We're a quintessential American band — everything that's right or wrong in Americana in one band. It wasn't like we were trying to say anything deep or meaningful. [laughs] It was just like, 'Yeah, we're in a rock band. Fuck you — it's awesome.'"

"Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor" track listing:

01. Teenage Nosferatu Pussy
02. Dead City Radio And The New Gods Of Supertown
03. Revelation Revolution
04. Theme For The Rat Vendor
05. Gong Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga
06. Rock And Roll (In A Black Hole)
07. Behold! The Pretty Filthy Creatures
08. White Trash Freaks
09. We're An American Band (GRAND FUNK RAILROAD cover)
10. Lucifer Rising
11. The Girl Who Loved The Monsters
12. Trade In Your Guns For A Coffin

Zombie told The Pulse Of Radio what goals he set for himself in making the new album. "I wanted someone to hear it and go, 'Wow, I haven't heard that before,'" he said. "I wanted it to be just different. We really went out of our way with the sounds, so every song has a very different sound, a very different guitar sound, drum sound, just everything, where the sound, the actual sound becomes very important. You know, after all these years you want to still try to feel that you can break through new, creative areas in your own mind, and that's really what we're just trying to do, you know."

Rocknews\\ Black Sabbath: show em SP deve ser no Campo de Marte

O jornalista José Norberto Flesch, fonte segura de boas informações em primeira mão sobre o show business, acabou de divulgar em seu twitter que o show do BLACK SABBATH em São Paulo deve ser realizado no Campo de Marte.

"Mais uma dica sobre o lugar do show do Sabbath: é inédito. O lugar é conhecido, mas nunca teve show lá... ao menos de banda gringa nunca vi. Salvo mudança de última hora... eu disse salvo mudança de última hora... show do Black Sabbath em SP será no Campo de Marte. Vantagens do Campo de Marte: é perto do metrô e rodoviária Tietê. Certeza que T4F pensou no povo que vem de longe e/ou de outras cidades. Boa sacada."

ANTHRAX & TESTAMENT no Brasil \\ Prováveis set lists de shows

Vou falar um pouco sobre o que esperar dos set lists dos shows de Anthrax e Testament, que acontecerão no próximo dia 15 de maio, em São Paulo, na casa de shows HSBC Brasil

Vamos começar com o Testament, que encerrou uma parte de sua turnê europeia e está de folga nesse mês de abril, voltando a tocar na turnê sulamericana ao lado do Anthrax. O set list da banda está poderoso, baseado nos três últimos discos de estúdio, que são um desbunde. Neste conjunto de canções que relaciono abaixo, tocado no festival Thrash Domination, no Japão, a banda tocou 18 músicas, sendo quatro do mais recente álbum, "Dark Roots Of Earth"; duas do álbum anterior, "The Formation Of Damnation"; quatro do disco de 1999 "The Gathering" (álbum que contou com Dave Lombardo na bateria); quatro do disco mais clássico deles, "The New Order"; a faixa-título do álbum "Practice What You Preach"; e as três primeiras do disco de estreia da banda, "The Legacy". Veja a relação abaixo (entre parênteses o álbum ao qual a música pertence):

"Rise Up" ("Dark Roots Of Earth")
"More Than Meets The Eye" ("The Formation Of Damnation")
"Burnt Offerings" ("The Legacy")
"Native Blood" ("Dark Roots Of Earth")
"True American Hate" ("Dark Roots Of Earth")
"Dark Roots Of Earth" ("Dark Roots Of Earth")
"Into Tthe Pit" ("The New Order")
"Practice What You Preach" ("Practice What You Preach")
"Riding The Snake" ("The Gathering")
"Eyes Of Wrath" ("The Gathering")
"Over The Wall" ("The Legacy")
"The Haunting" ("The Legacy")
"The New Order" ("The New Order")
"The Preacher" ("The New Order")
"Disciples Of The Watch" ("The New Order")
Bis:
"D.N.R. (Do Not Resuscitate)" ("The Gathering")
"3 Days In Darkness" ("The Gathering")
"The Formation Of Damnation" ("The Formation Of Damnation")

Já o Anthrax está no meio de uma turnê pelos EUA, a "Metal Alliance Tour 2013", que vai até o final do mês de abril e conta também com as seguintes bandas: Exodus, High On Fire, Municipal Waste, Shadows Fall e Holy Grail. O set list do Anthrax está incluindo, nada mais nada menos, que todo o clássico álbum "Among The Living", com algumas poucas canções do disco mais recente, "Worship Music", e o clássico "Antisocial" encerrando o show. Fica a dúvida: a banda tocará também, aqui na América do Sul, este clássico que completou 25 anos? Tomara que sim!!
(Lado A do álbum "Among The Living")
"Among The Living"
"Caught In A Mosh"
"I Am The Law"
"Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.)"
"A Skeleton In The Closet"
-----------------------------
"Hymn 1"
"In The End" (canções do último álbum da banda, "Worship Music")
"T.N.T." (cover do AC/DC)
"March Of The S.O.D." (cover do S.O.D.)
"I'm Alive" (do último álbum da banda, "Worship Music")
-----------------------------
(Lado B do álbum "Among The Living")"Indians"
"One World"
"A.D.I. / Horror Of It All"
"Imitation Of Life"
Bis:
"I'm The Man" (do EP de mesmo nome)
"Antisocial" (do álbum "State Of Euphoria")

Uma dúvida que fica no ar para esta turnê é: qual o baterista o Anthrax trará para tocar aqui na América do Sul? Diversos shows da turnê trouxeram Jon Dette nas baquetas, e recentemente o próprio Dette postou no Facebook que Charlie Benante voltará a seu posto. Para os shows nos EUA, tudo bem, mas será que Benante viajará para cá? Vamos torcer que sim, ele é um puta baterista e membro original da banda. Lembrando que na segunda guitarra o Anthrax está contando, após a saída de Rob Caggiano, com os préstimos de Jon Donais, do Shadows Fall. Se ele vai ser efetivado como segundo guitarrista ou se a banda vai procurar outro nome, só o tempo nos dirá...

Além do show aqui no Brasil, em São Paulo, as bandas também tocam dia 10/05 em Santiago, no Chile (Teatro Caupolican), e dia 12/05 em Buenos Aires, na Argentina (El Teatro Flores). Depois, as bandas partem para o México, onde tocam na capital do país e em Guadalajara, nos dias 17 e 18 de maio, respectivamente. A partir de então, as bandas partem para mais uma turnê europeia; tocando separadas, entretanto. Pouco mais de um mês para este grande show!!

Premiere\\ Bullet Unleash "Rolling Home" Video

Swedish heavy metal band Bullet have released a new video clip of the song "Rolling Home", taken from their current album 'Full Pull', released on September 14, 2012 via Nuclear Blast.

'Full Pull' was recorded at Gutterview Recorders in Solna/Stockholm Sweden, along with producers/engineers Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters, Entombed) and Fred Estby (Dismember).

Regarding 'Full Pull' SleazeRoxx.com said the album, "Pretty much starts where Highway Pirates left off. In fact, it would be safe to call this album 'Highway Pirates Part II', and that's not a bad thing. If you dare to play the Angus Young riff-influenced "In The Heat" while driving you WILL receive a speeding ticket -- you've been warned. I fully recommend Full Pull, as this is hard rock at its finest." 


Bullet formed in 2001 and includes Hell Hofer (vocals), Erik Almstrom (guitar), Hampus Klang (guitar), Gustav Hjortsjo (drums) and Adam Hector (bass), who replaced sideman Lenny Blade after he emigrated to Thailand in 2007.

At the end of 2004 the band received a recording contract with the Swedish label Black Lodge, which brought out the 2006 debut album 'Heading For The Top'. The album peaked in the Swedish music charts Hitlistan at #37 and second place in the Metal charts.

The Swedish metal band's previous two albums, 'Bite The Bullet' and 'Highway Pirates', both landed on the Sleaze Roxx Top 10 with 'Bite The Bullet' taking top honors in 2008.

Traduza\\ IRON MAIDEN To Play Seven U.S. Shows With MEGADETH In September

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN will make a brief return to the USA this September, playing seven specially selected shows en route to Latin America where they will once again headline at the legendary Rock In Rio Festival, Brazil, on September 22, their show there having recently sold out to 70,000 fans in just a couple of hours

These will begin with a first-ever visit to Raleigh, North Carolina, for the opening show on September 3 at the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion followed by taking metal back to country music capital Nashville, Tennessee where MAIDEN haven't played in over twenty years, at the Bridgestone Arena on September 5. There will also be shows in Kansas City, Missouri, Sprint Center on September 7, St Louis, Missouri, Verizon Wireless on September 8 and the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 12, all of which MAIDEN last visited way back in 2000 on the "Brave New World" tour. Plus a return to Austin, Texas for a show at the 360 Amphitheater on September 10, the first time the band have played in that city since the original "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" tour twenty-five years ago!

Very special guests on all these dates will be MEGADETH.

Before they finally head south towards Brazil, MAIDEN will also headline a very special event at the San Manuel Amphitheater, San Bernardino, California. The Battle Of San Bernardino will take place on Friday, September 13. ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, OVERKILL and SABATON will join tour special guests MEGADETH for this performance only, making for a big, loud and exciting day out for metal fans in Southern California.

Commented IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson: "As MAIDEN fans know, we're going back to Brazil to headline Rock In Rio again, so we thought that on our way down south we should certainly stop off and do a few more shows in the U.S if we possibly could. We especially wanted to try and play some more cities we've not visited for a while, so we're really excited about seeing our fans again in places we've not been to in over a decade, and in some cases over two decades, and for our first-ever visit to Raleigh! We'll be bringing with us the same full production we had on the Maiden England tour in North America last year so fans can expect to see the huge lightshow, stage set, various incarnations of Eddie, plenty of pyro and all kinds of other exciting stuff."

Added MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris: "We know how popular the History Of Maiden tours are with fans of all ages and we love visiting cities we haven't been to in many years as it gives us a chance to play to new audiences. We had a huge amount of fun with the setlist for this Maiden England tour when we opened in North America last year as we got to play songs we had not played in a very long time, like 'Seventh Son', 'The Prisoner' and 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers', as well as fan favorites like 'The Trooper', 'Aces High', 'The Clairvoyant', 'The Number Of The Beast', 'Wasted Years' and 'Run To The Hills'. That opening leg of the tour was so enjoyable for the whole band, we're really looking forward to coming back to see our fans again and a lot of new faces too!"

Traduza\\ BLACK STAR RIDERS: 'Bound For Glory' Lyric Video Released

The official lyric video for the song "Bound For Glory" from BLACK STAR RIDERS — the new band formed by THIN LIZZY alumni Ricky Warwick (vocals), Scott Gorham (guitar), Damon Johnson (guitar), Marco Mendoza (bass) with new addition Jimmy DeGrasso (ALICE COOPER, MEGADETH, DAVID LEE ROTH, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES) on drums — can be seen below.

BLACK STAR RIDERS will release its debut album, "All Hell Breaks Loose", via Nuclear Blast Entertainment on the following dates:

* May 21 - Japan
* May 22 - Sweden
* May 24 - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Norway
* May 27 - U.K., France, BeNeLux, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Greece
* May 28 - U.S., Canada, Italy, South America

The "All Hell Breaks Loose" artwork features a painting by Gil Elvgren (March 15, 1914 - February 29, 1980), the legendary U.S. painter best known for his work on pin-up girls, advertising and illustration.

The artwork ties directly to the origins of the album title. Warwick explains: "I was watching a documentary about World War II bombers and saw the name painted on the side of one of the aircraft. The name just resonated with me and it seem to encapsulate the turmoil that we, as a society, are currently experiencing. The past few years have been such a wild ride and now with the release of the album, it sounded like a bad-ass album title that summed up what BLACK STAR RIDERS is all about."

About the single, Warwick states: "'Bound For Glory' — a song for the lost but never lonely, walking tall in the face of everyday adversary. Everyone has a story to tell. Revolution begins in the mirror!!!" Gorham adds: "When it came time to pick one of these songs as a single, we had a really hard time. There are so many really great tracks here and everyone had their favorites. But in the end, we all agreed that 'Bound For Glory' is the perfect choice and represents what BLACK STAR RIDERS is all about."

"All Hell Breaks Loose" was recorded and mixed by producer Kevin Shirley (LED ZEPPELIN, IRON MAIDEN, AEROSMITH, RUSH) at his The Cave studios in Malibu, California. Mastering duties were handled by Bob Ludwig (JIMI HENDRIX, RUSH, KISS, LED ZEPPELIN) at Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, Maine.

"All Hell Breaks Loose" track listing:

01. All Hell Breaks Loose
02. Bound For Glory
03. Kingdom Of The Lost
04. Bloodshot
05. Kissin’ The Ground
06. Hey Judas
07. Hoodoo Voodoo
08. Valley Of The Stones
09. Someday Salvation
10. Before The War
11. Blues Ain't So Bad

The album will be released as a standard CD and also as a special-edition digipak featuring a bonus track, "Right To Be Wrong", and a "making-of" DVD.

A 24-minute collection of video reports featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of "All Hell Breaks Loose" can be seen below.

In October 2012, THIN LIZZY announced that they would not be recording new material under the THIN LIZZY monicker. The last incarnation of the band — Gorham, Brian Downey, Wharton, Warwick, Johnson and Mendoza — would be looking to form a new project.

According to a press release, Brian Downey decided to not become involved with BLACK STAR RIDERS because he didn't want to commit to the touring cycle a new album would entail and Darren Wharton wanted to concentrate on DARE and other music and film projects.

"Brian and Darren just don't want to be on the road 150 days a year. anti that's completely understandable," Warwick tells Classic Rock magazine. "But we do. We work very well together, and there's no better man than Jimmy to gel it together. This is a kick-ass band."

The BLACK STAR RIDERS album will feature material the band wrote while touring as THIN LIZZY and the sound retains that classic feel but is very much its own as well. The BLACK STAR RIDERS record is the next step in the evolution of the THIN LIZZY story.

"There's no way it could sound like THIN LIZZY with [late THIN LIZZY frontman] Phil [Lynott]," Gorham tells Classic Rock. But Johnson disagreees. "I think Scott is too dose to it," he says. "Ricky or I would bring in a song idea, and as soon as Scott starts playing on it, it sounds like THIN LIZZY, whether Scott realizes it or not. Everybody who's heard the new music says it has that dassic THIN LIZZY vibe. No, it can't sound like the original band. But that classic LIZZY vibe is absolutely there."

"I'm not gonna pull any punches here," says Warwick. "It sounds like classic THIN LIZZY brought up to date. l've been singing Phil's songs every night for two years, and although it sounds a bit crass because the man's not here, I feel like I've had these lessons from getting so deep into his work. Phil's songwriting, his lyrics, his phrasing, his pitching, his delivery — it's genius. And that's really helped me as a writer."

It was Warwick who named the new band BLACK STAR RIDERS, after an outlaw gang in the 1993 western movie "Tombstone". As Johnson tells Classic Rock: "Scott said from the very beginning that we did not want a name that was specifically related to THIN LIZZY, because this band has to stand on its own."

ORION MUSIC 2013 \\ Original Lineup Of INFECTIOUS GROOVES To Reunite At 'Orion Music + More'

METALLICA, in conjunction with friends C3 Presents, has announced lineup additions for Orion Music + More, the two-day festival the band created that will take place June 8-9 at Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, VISTA CHINO, DEAD SARA and local favorites MATT CLARKE and CALICO have all been added to the already stacked lineup.

A very special addition to Orion Music + More 2013 will be an original lineup reunion of INFECTIOUS GROOVES, featuring Mike Muir (SUICIDAL TENDENCIES), Robert Trujillo (METALLICA), Stephen Perkins (JANE'S ADDICTION), Dean Pleasants (SUICIDAL TENDENCIES), and special guest Jim Martin (ex-FAITH NO MORE, filling in for original guitarist Adam Siegel). "To reunite with those guys after 22 years is going to be really special for me. Orion is the perfect place for that to happen...I'm looking forward to it," said Robert Trujillo.

INFECTIOUS GROOVES was formed soon after Trujillo joined SUICIDAL TENDENCIES in 1989. Muir and Trujillo got together with some friends to write song that centered more around the bass, but with the intent of giving everyone else a whole lot of freedom.

"SEX PISTOLS and PARLIAMENT were my two favorite bands when I was young," comments Muir. "People think they're completely different but I saw a lot of similarities, even if musically they were categorized as completely different styles. There's something beautiful about breaking rules that never should have been made."

A video clip of Trujillo talking about the INFECTIOUS GROOVES reunion can be seen below.

Vans will be returning to Orion in 2013 with a full vert ramp, featuring pro skating demos happening right alongside live music. Vans will also feature four signature models of the Vans x Metallica footwear at Orion, including two "Kill 'Em All" styles.

Music fans will be able to stay well fed and hydrated throughout the weekend with the addition of the Orion food area, ...And Food For All. Orion Music + More has enlisted Detroit restaurateur and entrepreneur Phil Cooley of Slows BBQ to curate the area and showcase some of the region's great offerings.

Orion Music + More will feature more than 30 bands across five live music stages plus a lifestyle element that reflects each of METALLICA's band members many personal interests. Detroit will see the return of James Hetfield's Custom Car & Motorcycle Show, Kirk Hammett's Crypt, Lars Ulrich's Hit the Lights Film Tent and Robert Trujillo's Vans Vert Ramp alongside the Metallica Museum and many other fan favorite attractions.

Traduza\\ SEPULTURA To Reunite With Producer ROSS ROBINSON On Upcoming Album

Brazilian/American thrashers SEPULTURA will reunite with producer Ross Robinson (KORN, LIMP BIZKIT, SLIPKNOT) to record their next album, tentatively due before the end of the year via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD will be tracked in June at Robinson's studio in Venice, California and will be co-produced by Steve Evetts, who previously worked with SEPULTURA on the "Nation" (2001), "Revolusongs" (2002) and "Roorback" (2003) albums, in addition to having collaborated with Ross on a number of other projects in the past.

The reunion between SEPULTURA and Robinson was first suggested by Monte Conner, the former Roadrunner Records A&R chief who is now the head of Nuclear Blast Entertainment, a U.S. partnership with Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger.

"Monte was the guy who signed SEPULTURA to Roadrunner in 1988," SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser told Diario de Pernambuco. "It's been a nice experience working with him again. He always brought a good energy to the band."

SEPULTURA's upcoming CD will mark the first time the band will have recorded an album outside Brazil since 1998's "Against".

"It will be very good to record in a studio that Ross and Steve know so well," Andreas said.

To date, SEPULTURA has new 13 songs in various stages of completion.

"We are in the process of writing and we have already stared working on some of the lyrics. I am also working on guitar solos and other ideas," Andreas explained.

Asked what fans can fans expect from the upcoming SEPULTURA album, Andreas said: "I don't know; it's hard to say. This is the first time writing with [latest SEPULTURA addition] Eloy Casagrande on drums and everything sounds fresh. You'll just have to wait to hear it. It's very difficult to describe what we're doing, but I can say that will be one of the strongest SEPULTURA albums to date. It will be definitely one of the best albums in the history of SEPULTURA."

Robinson produced SEPULTURA's classic "Roots" album in 1995. Released in February 1996 by Roadrunner, it was the band's last studio album to feature founding member and vocalist Max Cavalera.

"Roots" sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and was certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA) for sales in excess of 500,000 units.

SEPULTURA played its first show with Casagrande on November 25, 2011 in Lichtenfels, Germany.

Casagrande joined SEPULTURA as the replacement for Jean Dolabella, who left the band because he could no longer handle being away from home for long periods of time.

Eloy is a 21-year-old drum prodigy from São Paulo, Brazil who won the Modern Drummer "Undiscovered Drummer" contest as a teenager in 2006.

Asked what Casagrande has added to the band, SEPULTURA singer Derrick Green told Metal Hammer, "Definitely the fact that he's young and that energy helps a lot. He's a very disciplined drummer — he's been playing since he was seven. And he's been doing a lot of things by himself and playing with different people, and that's really, really impressive. He had a lot of things put together before we even met him; he's already done so much. And I think with us, a combination us together, it's a great learning process for him to grow and at the same time, we're learning a lot from him, so we can do this together. And this is something extremely important when you're doing a band that's been together for so long, to have this connection. And we felt this connection with him immediately. And we could tell that he was very focused and very committed to doing extremely good music."

Dolabella left SEPULTURA after a five-year run of relentless touring and two studio albums. He joined SEPULTURA in 2006 following the departure of the band's original drummer, Igor Cavalera.

SEPULTURA has spent most of the past two years on tour in support of its 12th studio album, and Nuclear Blast Records debut, "Kairos", which hit stores in July 2011.

Traduza\\ Video: GHOST Performs In London

Video footage of the mysterious Swedish buzz band GHOST performing on March 24 at the O2 Academy Brixton in London can be seen below.

According to SPIN.com, the release date of GHOST's sophomore album, "Infestissumam", has been pushed back a week to April 16 after four compact disc manufacturers allegedly refused to print a piece of artwork that was meant for the deluxe version of the new CD. The manufacturers all took issue with the sacrilegious imagery, inspired by the work of Gustave Dore, which showcases what looks like a forest nymph orgy.

"We kept on getting turned down because of the CD art, which is basically a 16th century illustration of an orgy," a source close to the band told SPIN.com. "[The bandmembers] weren't surprised. The comment was 'Well, I thought this would have happened sooner.' The artwork was meant to provoke some sort of thought, but it's been one obstacle after another."

The controversial art can still be found on both the vinyl and European copies of the "Infestissuman" CD. "Vinyl manufacturers don't have a problem with the artwork. Neither does Europe," the source told SPIN.com.

"Infestissumam" track listing:

01. Infestissumam
02. Per Aspera Ad Inferi
03. Secular Haze
04. Jigolo Har Megiddo
05. Ghuleh / Zombie Queen
06. Year Zero
07. Idolatrine
08. Body And Blood
09. Depth Of Satans Eyes
10. Monstrance Clock

GHOST was forced to modify its name in the U.S. to GHOST B.C. for "legal reasons."

The band's debut album, "Opus Eponymous", was released in late 2010 in Europe and in early 2011 in North America via Rise Above Records.

Traduza\\ GARY HOLT Would Not Leave EXODUS For SLAYER

Peter Ruttan of MetalTitans.com recently conducted an interview with guitarist Gary Holt of San Francisco thrash metal veterans EXODUS during the "Metal Alliance Tour" with ANTHRAX, HIGH ON FIRE, MUNICIPAL WASTE and HOLY GRAIL. You can now watch the chat below.

Holt has spent the last two years filling in for SLAYER founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman who in January 2011 contracted necrotizing fasciitis, likely caused by a spider bite, and has been undergoing surgeries, skin grafts and intense rehab since.

Asked if he would consider becoming a permanent member of SLAYER if Hanneman was unable to return to the band, Holt said: "Not if it meant the end of what I've been doing my whole life. If I could manage both [EXODUS and SLAYER], you know… But I've been filling in for just over two years now and I'm booked all year with them. But I'm just keeping the work going with EXODUS and I've been doing a lot of riff writing on tour. And on the summer [run] with SLAYER, I'm taking a little portable, digital recording rig with me so I can continue working on [new EXODUS] stuff in hotel rooms and shit."

Speaking to MetalObsession.net during the recent Soundwave festival tour in Australia, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King stated about Holt's position in the band: "I think Gary is in for the long haul. I haven't really discussed it with him. But he keeps his schedule free when he knows we're on tour. And I'm pretty sure, if Jeff all of a sudden came back in June, we would probably pay Gary for freeing up his time. I don't wanna treat somebody that's bailed us out for two years badly. But if Gary played with us forever? I'm OK with that. But if Jeff got better and said, 'Hey, man, I'm ready to play,' and he came to rehearsal and showed us he was good enough, that's his show."

Rocknews\\ Ghost: banda confirmada para o Lollapalooza Chicago 2013

Neste dia 1º de abril - e não é mentira! -, a produção do Lollapalooza divulgou o line-up completo do evento que acontece em Chicago nos dias 2, 3 e 4 de agosto.

Dentre as atrações, na sexta-feira (2), está a banda sueca GHOST - agora também conhecida por Ghost B.C. por conta de trâmites legais nos EUA.

O sexteto soturno tocará os sucessos de seu primeiro álbum "Opus Eponymous", de 2010, e de seu ainda não lançado "Infestissumam", que deve sair em meados deste mês, oficialmente.

No dia deles, tocarão também QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, THE KILLERS, NINE INCH NAILS, NEW ORDER, Hot Chip e Lana Del Rey.

Lollapalooza 2013 \\ QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Debuts New Song At LOLLAPALOOZA BRAZIL

Professionally filmed video footage of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE performing a brand new song, "My God Is the Sun", during the band's appearance at Lollapalooza Brazil on March 30 can be seen below. The gig marked the group's first live performance since a string of dates in 2011 to support the re-release of their 1998 self-titled debut album.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE's current touring lineup includes THE MARS VOLTA drummer Jon Theodore.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will release its sixth studio album, "…Like Clockwork", this June on Matador Recorda, which is part of Beggars Group, the largest independent label group in the world. Described by QUEENS principal Joshua Homme as "an audio documentary of a manic year," "…Like Clockwork" is the band's first full-length collection of all-new material since 2007's "Era Vulgaris", as well as the group's debut release on new label partner Matador. The group was previously signed to Interscope.

"…Like Clockwork" was produced by Joshua Homme and QOTSA and recorded by Mark Rankin at Pink Duck Studios in Burbank, California. The CD includes drums by Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA), Joey Castillo and Jon Theodore, and guest appearances by Sir Elton John, Trent Reznor (NINE INCH NAILS), Mark Lanegan (SCREAMING TREES), ex-QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE bassist/vocalist Nick Oliveri, Jake Shears (THE SCISSOR SISTERS), James Lavelle and Alex Turner.

The official QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE web site has been updated to include the new artwork below and a series of sound snippets that are presumably taken from the forthcoming CD.

To hear the audio samples, visit the QOTSA site, click the image, hit refresh and repeat.

Grohl played drums on the QUEENS' 2002 album, "Songs For The Deaf", and did go on a short club tour with the group before returning to active duty with the FOOS — who took QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE out as support.

Grohl stepped in for the recording sessions after the group parted ways with longtime drummer Joey Castillo.

"Era Vulgaris" came out in June 2007 and entered the Billboard chart at No. 14.

Premiere\\ STONE SOUR: 'Do Me A Favor' Video Released

"Do Me A Favor", the new video from STONE SOUR, can be seen below. The clip was directed by Phil Mucci, whose video for HIGH ON FIRE's "Fertile Green" was named best video of 2012 by Revolver. The song is the first single from "House Of Gold & Bones - Part 2", the second part of the band's two-album series, "House of Gold & Bones", which will be released on April 9 via Roadrunner Records. The albums were recorded at Sound Farm Studios just outside of the band's native Des Moines, Iowa with producer David Bottrill (TOOL, MUSE) at the helm.

"Do Me A Favor", was made available digitally on February 12. Singer Corey Taylor gave The Pulse Of Radio a preview of what to expect from the song. "It's quite aggressive, and actually the label asked me if I would go in and tame stuff down and I was like, 'No.' I'm not doing that," he said. "This is going out the way it is and I'm not gonna touch it up. I'm not gonna have people looking for a song that doesn't exist. This is the way it is on the album, that's the way it's going to be when we put it out to radio."

"House Of Gold & Bones - Part 2" track listing:

01. Red City
02. Black John
03. Sadist
04. Peckinpah
05. Stalemate
06. Gravesend
07. '82
08. The Uncanny Valley
09. Blue Smoke
10. Do Me A Favor
11. The Conflagration
12. The House Of Gold & Bones

When asked by ThisIsNotAScene what fans can expect from the second part of "House Of Gold & Bones", Taylor said: "Part 2 is much darker [than the first part], if I'm honest. Aside from it being a completely different album, it feels more like a soundtrack to a movie in a lot of ways, man. It's really thematic. There are themes from part 1 that reveal themselves and that come again, musically. There's actually stuff from part 2 that you'll hear that's on part 1 and you'll be like, 'Fucking hell!'"

He continued: "We essentially recorded these, and this is where technology is now, so you could have these in a playlist on your iTunes and play them top to fucking bottom and really get that experience while you read both parts. So it's some of our darkest music, our most intricate and complex music, some of the best fucking lyrics I've ever written, to be honest. Even writing from a narrative like that, it was so challenging. Plus, it's got some of our best songs on it."

"House Of Gold & Bones - Part 1" came out last fall.

Music is just one of the mediums used to tell the "House of Gold & Bones" story, and Taylor recently revealed details of the new project with Dark Horse Comics of the same name, which follows, and expands on, the story contained within the albums. With stunning covers from Jason Shawn Alexander (Empty Zone, Batman, Abe Sapien), this four-issue limited series marks Taylor's debut in the comics genre. The first issue of the series will be out on April 17.

Taylor recently told Billboard.com recently that the group is planning a world tour in 2014 during which they will spend two nights in each city and perform both halves of its "House Of Gold & Bones" double album in their entirety.

Traduza\\ RATT Performs At Auto Club Speedway In Fontana

Veteran rockers RATT got the race day started this past Sunday, March 24 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, where they performed a pre-race concert at 10 a.m. on the FanZone main stage. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below.

Speaking to "The Blairing Out With Eric Blair Show" this past January, RATT drummer Bobby Blotzer stated about the band's current status: "We're getting ready to do a new record with Brian Howes, this producer that produced NICKELBACK, we have new management, we have Juan Croucier [bass] back in the band, and we're gonna tour this summer and hopefully get along and be happy, which would be amazing."

He added: "Brian Howes is a great guy, great producer, and he's top notch, dude. He's a current A-lister, and we're very excited. We have new management. And we're just looking forward to 2013."

Regarding the songwriting process for the new RATT album, Blotzer said: "We start pre-production in the next week. Everybody's been writing and everybody has a backlog of material. So we'll just get in like we did with the last record, and there's, like, boom, 35 songs, and then we'll let the producer go, 'OK, let's work these up.' He's got the final say on that. I mean, the last record we worked up in two weeks."

He continued: "I don't think [the new RATT CD is] gonna be super overproduced. I think we're trying to do something new, and really, on all levels of RATT — have everything come out and be a new RATT. [We'll still have] classic-sounding songs, but it's gonna be, obviously, a twist in the production with the way that [Brian] produces."

On the topic of the personal differences and internal strife, which has plagued RATT for much of the band's existence, Blotzer said: "Listen, man, things have been disintegrating in RATT since we were 16 years old, OK?! We've got five chiefs, no Indians, but this chemistry that we have produces so many great songs. I mean, I don't what the fuck it is, but we have a great time with the music, which overshadows that we think each other are a bunch of clowns. Occasionally, we do make some good business decisions, but it's a hard road to hone. But I love the guys, and I'm not saying anything bad about them; it's a hard gig … It's five fucking drunk Irish brothers that not one will fucking give up in, like, if you're slap-fighting or wrestling in the room, I'm not giving up unless I can't breathe and I'm knocked out."

Original RATT bassist Juan Croucier rejoined the Californian rockers for their show at the M3 Rock Festival on May 12, 2012 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

RATT's first studio record in 11 years, "Infestation", sold around 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 30 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was issued on April 20, 2010 via Loud & Proud.

"Infestation" has sold more than 50,000 copies in the U.S. so far, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Live N' Louder 2013 \\ Metal Church deve tocar álbum de estreia

O METAL CHURCH, banda oriunda da mítica cena thrash da costa Oeste estadunidense do começo dos anos 80, lançou seu primeiro álbum, auto-intitulado, ‘Metal Church’, em 1984. Ele continha três faixas de uma demo do grupo, além de um cover devastador para ‘Highway Star’ do DEEP PURPLE. O disco vendera 70 mil cópias de modo independente antes de a banda assinar contrato com a Elektra [por indicação de LARS ULRICH e JAMES HETFIELD do METALLICA], que relançou o trabalho e o divulgou apropriadamente, levando a obra a vender mais de um milhão de cópias mundialmente tornando assim o Metal Church um dos nomes mais respeitados do metal mundial.

Desde que se reuniu em outubro do ano passado, o METAL CHURCH vem tocando seu álbum de estreia, ‘METAL CHURCH’, na íntegra, em meio a um set mais extenso em todas as apresentações que fez desde então – inclusive a do cruzeiro 70000 Tons of Metal. E é um set nesses moldes que a banda deve apresentar no Brasil no LIVE N’ LOUDER FESTIVAL no próximo dia 14 de Abril em São Paulo.

A banda também já deve apresentar as faixas prontas para o novo álbum de estúdio, que deve sair até o fim de 2013.

Premiere\\ CINDERELLA Frontman's 'Solid Ground' Video Released

"Solid Ground", the new solo video from Tom Keifer, best known as the singer/songwriter/guitarist of the Philadelphia-based blues-rock band CINDERELLA, can be seen below. The song comes off solo album, "The Way Life Goes", which will be released on April 30 via Merovee Records (through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group).

The collection of 14 new songs ranges from intimate, organic, acoustic tracks to driving hard rock. It embraces the blues, rock and country roots that have always been present in his unique sound that has generated the sale of over 15 million records worldwide for CINDERELLA. Rolling Stone praised Keifer as "a gritty, bluesy (rocker) with enough genuine swagger to draw comparisons to Mick Jagger."

"This record was a labor of love," Keifer told TriCities.com. "When I started this record, CINDERELLA was in the middle of a lawsuit with Sony Records. This record is not in any way to be taken as me stepping away from CINDERELLA."

"I took a lot of time making this record," he continued. "I made it over 10 years. I wanted to make something I loved. My wife, Savannah (Snow), co-wrote a lot of the songs with me. It was a blessing to me.

"Each song has something to do with life. It's just life, love, love lost, being crazy, going crazy, being lost. The record, there's no change, really, in style. It has the peaks and valleys.

"I've always approached music, played music that I like. I've never chased trends through CINDERELLA and with this album. It reflects what's in me."

"The Way Life Goes" track listing:

01. Solid Ground
02. A Different Light
03. It's Not Enough
04. Cold Day In Hell
05. Thick And Thin
06. Ask Me Yesterday
07. Fools Paradise
08. The Flower Song
09. Mood Elevator
10. Welcome To My Mind
11. You Showed Me
12. Ain't That A Bitch
13. The Way Life Goes
14. Babylon

"The Flower Song", the album's first single, was serviced to AAA radio stations nationwide on February 4, while "Solid Ground" was serviced to all rock formats on March 11.

Keifer wrote "The Flower Song" with Jim Peterik, formerly of the bands SURVIVOR and the IDES OF MARCH.

"The Way Life Goes" is a raw, introspective look at the roller coaster ride that has been Keifer's life for the past 15 years. From being told that he would never sing again as a result of a partially paralyzed left vocal cord, to the emotional and personal battles that followed, his solo debut is a story of perseverance, a testament to the power of passion and will, when combined with a true love of music.

"It's pretty scary," Keifer said of his vocal paralysis. "I've had six surgeries to deal with the collateral damage. Performing… has been difficult for me because of the vocal issues I've had. I work several hours every day on that. That's a difficult thing for me every day."

Keifer will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Wednesday, May 1 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with Keifer by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625). The show will be streamed on the "Rockline" web site for two weeks beginning the afternoon after the live broadcast.

Premiere\\ SEVENDUST: 'Decay' Video Released

"Decay", the new video from SEVENDUST, can be seen below. The track comes off the band's ninth studio album, "Black Out The Sun", which is being released on March 26 via SEVENDUST's 7Bros. Records label (through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group). The CD was recorded at Architekt Music studios in Butler, New Jersey with engineer Mike Ferretti.

SEVENDUST drummer Morgan Rose told Billboard.com that "Decay" actually came from a riff left over from the "Cold Ray Memory" sessions.

"We were starting to get burnt and we didn't want to push it," Rose recalls. "So we had this riff, and we said, 'Let's jam it and see if anything comes of it.' And before you know it, it became a song that ends up on the record, and everybody listens to it and they end up picking that as the single, which was pretty cool."

"Black Out The Sun" track listing:

01. Memory
02. Faithless
03. 'Till Death
04. Mountain
05. Cold As War
06. Black Out The Sun
07. Nobody Wants It
08. Dead Roses
09. Decay
10. Dark AM
11. Picture Perfect
12. Got A Feeling
13. Murder Bar

The song "Murder Bar" was reportedly inspired by a Butler, New Jersey bar across from the hotel where SEVENDUST was staying while recording the new CD. Rumor had it the place was popular with many of New Jersey's murderers.

"It's a basic SEVENDUST record," guitarist Clint Lowery recently told "Source Of The Sound With Wendy Campbell". "There's nothing, like, too completely different than anything we've done before. It's got a darker vibe to it. We've got a good amount of the programming element in there. It's a lot of what we do — it's heavy and it's got its melodic element in it. So if you're a SEVENDUST fan, it's more along the lines of the second and third records we did — it's kind of like that. It's got a couple of throwback vibes to it. 'Animosity' and 'Home' [1999], if I can put those two records together, it would [sound similar to the new CD]."

Rocknews\\ Rush: com Dave Ghrol durante o Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Segundo informações publicadas pela Rolling Stone americana, o nosso querido arroz de festa, Dave Ghrol, poderá tocar com o Rush durante a inclusão dos canadenses no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A edição de número 28 do Hall da Fama irá incluir as bandas RUSH, Public Enemy, Randy Newman e o Heart. A cerimonia acontece no dia 18 de maio e será televisionada pela HBO.

Dave Ghrol e Taylor Hawkins, os dois do Foo Fighters, serão os responsáveis por fazer a introdução do Rush, enquanto o cineasta Spike Lee fará a do Public Enemy.

O Rush teve um apelo popular muito forte para ser introduzido ao Hall da Fama. Dave Ghrol e Taylor Hawkins foram alguns dos artistas que encabeçaram o pedido para que os canadenses fossem homenageados. Como de costume, as bandas homenageadas se apresentam durante a cerimônia.
"Dave e Taylor foram uma das primeiras pessoas que pensaram em dar o titulo ao RUSH", diz Joel Peresman, diretor do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Eles disseram 'sim' em cerca de dois segundos. Estou esperançoso que eles toquem juntos." Foi o que aconteceu no ano passado com o Green Day - eles estavam lá apenas para apresentar um prêmio ao Guns N' Roses e depois decidiram tocar juntos".

TRETAS\\ Sepultura reclama de "pagar para tocar" no RS; produtora alega que ingressos encalharam

A banda Sepultura cancelou uma apresentação em Porto Alegre depois de desentendimentos com a produtora Tocacabana Produções, responsável pela organização e venda de ingressos do evento, que seria realizado no domingo (24). De acordo com nota divulgada à imprensa pela Base 2 Produções Artística, entidade que representa a banda, o motivo para a atitude foi a falta de pagamentos de cachês e despesas durante a apresentação anterior, realizada em Passo Fundo.

Segundo a banda, até mesmo o pagamentos de instituições distintas como a casa de shows (Palazzo), a fornecedora de energia (Energisom) e a empresa de transporte Cidade Service não foram cumpridas pela produtora. "A banda Sepultura se deparou com situações de resoluções inalcancáveis, pois a mesma não poderia pagar para tocar", relatou o grupo em comunicado, afirmando que arcou com as despesas em Passo Fundo por respeito aos fãs.

Já Simão de Freitas, proprietário da Tocacabana, afirma que todos os gastos do show da banda e das empresas envolvidas em Passo Fundo foram pagos, com exceção da estadia da banda em hotel e as passagens de volta. "Eles já me mandaram as contas e vão ser ressarcidos", garante o produtor.
Freitas também afirma que o pagamento de cachê da banda relativo à apresentação de Porto Alegre não foi realizado por conta do encalhe de ingressos. "Apenas cerca de 160 ingressos haviam sido vendidos. Não tem como fazer show desse jeito", disse. "Nós reconhecemos a nossa responsabilidade, mas não pudemos cumprir com os compromissos por causa da baixa procura."
Para a banda, a justificativa de baixa procura por ingressos apresentada por Freitas em relação ao show de Porto Alegre foi "infeliz" e que o motivo do cancelamento se deu por conta do evento em Porto Alegre estar sob responsabilidade da mesma produtora que havia, segundo a banda, desrespeitado compromissos na apresentação anterior.

Bar Opinião e devolução de ingressos
O bar Opinião, de Porto Alegre, divulgou um comunicado na página inicial de seu site oficial, reproduzindo a justificativa apontada pela Tocacabana Produções: "baixa procura por ingressos". Segundo o assessor de imprensa da casa, Paulo Finatto Jr., toda a responsabilidade pela venda de ingressos e organização da apresentação é da produtora. "Nós somente alugamos o espaço nesse caso."

O Sepultura iria tocar ao lado da banda norte-americana Biohazard em 14 de março, mas compromissos na agenda da banda brasileira forçaram o adiamento da apresentação. A solução encontrada pelos envolvidos foi alocar o grupo em uma sessão de shows conhecida como "Noite do Senhor F", realizada mensalmente no Opinião. A data disponível era o dia 24 do mesmo mês.
Ainda de acordo com a casa de shows, os interessados na devolução de dinheiro deverão retornar a partir de quarta-feira (27) aos pontos de venda onde adquiriram as entradas.
