We are honored to finally confirm that our contribution to the much-discussed Deep Purple tribute album Re-Machined - a Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head will be available on September 4, 2012 through our good friends at Classic Rock Magazine as part of a special "fan-pack." Those of you who know us will have figured out we don't always take the most conventional path, and sure enough, we decided to cover a song called "When A Blind Man Cries," which was recorded during these sessions, but not included on the album. Instead, it was used as the B-side on the "Never Before" single. The song does appear as a bonus track on the album's 25th anniversary edition.
As you might have noticed with these fan-packs, the mag portion is always full of really cool exclusive content, and this one is no different, with 128 pages of exclusive chats with Purple members as well as one of the last-ever interviews with the mighty Jon Lord, who sadly passed away recently.
Aside from us, the likes of Iron Maiden, Steve Vai and Black Label Society also feature. Here's the full track-listing:
1. Smoke On The Water - Carlos Santana / Jacoby Shaddix
2. Highway Star - Chickenfoot
3. Maybe I'm A Leo - Glenn Hughes/Chad Smith
4. Pictures of Home - Black Label Society
5. Never Before - Kings of Chaos
6. Smoke On The Water - The Flaming Lips

8. Space Truckin' - Iron Maiden

Classic Rock Presents: Re-Machined - a Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head is published on September 4, 2012, so be sure to check your local rag/mag store after that date or pre-order by clicking here.

The collaboration among veterans "Lou Reed" and "Metallica" has posted online their new music video for the song, "The View." Take a look below. The video was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, who has directed films such as Pi, Requiem For A Dream, The Wrestler, and more recently, Black Swan. "The View" is taken from the album Lou Reed and Metallica, "Lulu," which was released in Europe on October 31 and November 1 in North America.
“PRIMITIVITY PLAYS MEGADETH FOR CELLO” salutes the state-of-the-art metal band Megadeth by reinventing passionate tracks of Mustaine-music through the intense and beautiful sound of the cello. The new album resurrects Megadeth classics like Symphony of Destruction and Train of Consequences, redefining them for cello. Thick power chords resonate through the opening of Skin O’ My Teeth while lush harmonies permeate the chorus of Addicted to Chaos and A Toute Le Monde. Speeding riffs and blistering solos reign during Hangar 18, while deep emotions are summoned during Forclosure of a Dream. Arranged, produced and performed solely by cellist Loren Westbrook-Fritts, “PRIMITIVITY PLAYS MEGADETH FOR CELLO” is passionately driven and uncompromising in its intentions to bring to life Megadeth through the unique voice of the cello.

De acordo com o site WTVR.com, os exames confirmaram que os restos mortais encontrados em uma fazenda em Charlottesville, Virgínia nos EUA, são realmente de Morgan Harrington, fã do Metallica que desapareceu durante um show da banda em 17 de outubro de 2009.
A Polícia Estadual da Virgínia disse que a confirmação foi feita utilizando registros dentais fornecidos pela família e que o inquérito continua para que sejam definidos o horário e causa da morte.
O tenente Joe Rader, investigador principal sobre o desaparecimento de Harrington, disse que a área onde os restos foram descobertos não havia sido procurado anteriormente. Ele acrescentou que provavelmente se trata de um homicídio.
Enquanto isso, o pai de Morgan, Dan Harrington, falou sobre a descoberta ao canal CBS 6: "Isso pode soar estranho, mas nós encontramos um pouco de paz em tudo isso. Não era o resultado que queríamos, porém agora sabemos onde a nossa filha está e isso nos conforta".
Harrington disse que sentiu que de uma forma Deus respondeu suas orações após ele dizer durante uma semana para sua esposa que não poderia agüentar ficar muito tempo sem saber o que havia acontecido.
Ele diz: “Eu sempre disse que ela seria encontrada a cinco milhas do campus. A pessoa que fez isso com ela conhecia a área. Se o Sr. Bass (fazendeiro que encontrou o corpo) tivesse encontrado o corpo fresco, nós agora estaríamos pensando diferente, como que ela talvez tivesse sido presa e torturada. Acho que minha filha foi morta antes do show (do Metallica) acabar.”
A família ainda não começou os preparativos para o enterro, mas farão em breve.
O METALLICA que inclusive ofereceu uma quantia em dinheiro em troca de informações sobre o desaparecimento de Morgan, postou a seguinte mensagem em seu site oficial:
“A perda de uma fã.
Estamos profundamente tristes pela descoberta do corpo de Morgan Dana Harrington. Nossas sinceras condolências para a família e amigos de Morgan Dana Harrington, a estudante de 20 anos residente em Virgínia que desapareceu durante o nosso show no estádio John Paul Jones, Charlottesville, Virgínia. Infelizmente, o corpo de Morgan foi encontrado ontem para acabar com a espera de sua familia, três meses esperando e rezando por um retorno seguro.
Meras palavras não podem expressar a angústia e o sofrimento que sabemos que seus pais, Dan e Gil estão sentindo, e nossos pensamentos estão com eles.”
Especial Monstros do Rock 1991 em Moscovo na Rússia. Nesse ano um aglomerado de gente nunca visto coloca em estado de sítio Moscovo, uma multidão a viver os primeiros passos em democracia e sedenta de liberdade.
Que outro tipo de música juntaria um milhão e seiscentas mil pessoas de todas as raças, religiões e cores políticas?
Um passo incontornável na história do Heavy metal e dos concertos do género.
The History
In 1980, promoter Paul Loasby planned a day-long summer festival dedicated specifically to bands from within the heavy rock and metal genre. As he had been promoting the recent Rainbow UK tour, he asked the band to headline, to which they agreed.
The venue chosen for the event was the Donington Park motor racing circuit at Castle Donington, Leicestershire. Capable of holding up to 100,000 fans, it was near to the industrial Midlands and had easy access to major transport links. Early preparations were delayed after objections from locals and police but the festival organisation had addressed fears the event was scheduled for Saturday August 16, 1980.
The rest of the bill meantime was assembled as a balanced mix of British and international hard rock. A quadraphonic sound system was installed. Parallel to a Judas Priest sound-check days before the event a test of Cozy Powell’s pyrotechnics resulted in an explosion heard some three miles away, that blew out all the P.A. and caused £18,000 worth of damage to the stage set-up.
Ticket prices were £7.50 in advance. Though torrential rain over the preceding week had turned the site into a quagmire the day itself dawned bright, hot and sunny. The P.A. system only seemed to work well for those few thousand crammed down the front of the stage but, minor criticisms apart, the occasion was deemed an overwhelming success. From the organiser’s point of view they had lost money but had proved the principle sufficiently to have the confidence to organise a festival for following years.
Within a few years it became the annual event for the UK hard rock fraternity, superseding the rival Reading Festival. The event was destined to become a British music tradition for over a decade, and was eventually extended to include a list of dates through mainland Europe as well.
Paul Loadsby: "It was a great day, the show Rainbow put on is still one of the best headlining performances at Donny...the first of its kind and a terrible risk."
Attendance at the first festival in 1980 was 35,000, and this continued to grow to 107,000 at the 1988 show when 2 fans died in a crowd surge during the Guns N' Roses slot. The festival was cancelled in 1989 because of this. When it was held in 1990, the attendance was capped at 72,500.In 1991, Metallica, AC/DC, Pantera and some other artists, played in Russia one of the biggest gig in Rock history and the biggest in a Monsters of Rock Festival, in front of 1.6 million people in the Tushino Airfield.In 1997, as the event had always been a one-day festival, organisers would add on a second day only to have the event cancelled shortly after.
In 2003 the year after the Ozzfest festival took place at the same venue after two visits at the Milton Keynes Bowl (1998 and 2001) and a Stereophonics concert at the same venue in 2001, Download Festival took over where Ozzfest had left off and is seen by some as a successor to Monsters of Rock. The Download Festival website claims to be the successor to Monsters of Rock, that the return of rock music heralded the return of rock to Donington.
In 2006 another festival by the name of Monsters of Rock was held at Milton Keynes Bowl, headlined by Deep Purple and with Alice Cooper as a special guest.
