Gavin Rossdale‘s decision to reclaim the Bush name has been a successful one, as ‘The Sea of Memories’ album has been one of his best efforts in years and the interest in his touring has picked up as a result. Having revived the Bush name, Rossdale and his band hit the historic Stubb’s stage in Austin, Texas back in 2011 and the show was filmed for a new concert DVD/Blu-Ray release.
‘Bush Live at Stubb’s’ will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD on April 15 and features the band mixing in tracks from their ‘The Sea of Memories’ album with more of their well-known back catalog.

David Draiman is gearing up to release the self-titled debut album from his new band Device. In Loudwire’s interview with Draiman, he talks about his approach to making the Device album, given his long history with Disturbed, as well as the wealth of incredible guest appearances he was able to secure for the disc. An excerpt from the interview:
When you first announced the project Device, you mentioned Nine Inch Nails and Ministry as references, and listening to the album, there are definitely industrial elements. But there’s also this sense of familiarity in you vocal delivery that your Disturbed fans are likely to identify with. Was there a conscious effort to offer both the unfamiliar and the familiar?
There was no conscious effort, that’s for certain. My voice is associated with Disturbed — that’s how my voice is branded and when I go into the more staccato, rhythmic delivery, which is just a very comfortable and familiar place, it’s a powerful place for me to go vocally. It’s felt natural since the day I first walked up to the audition that at a time when the rest of the guys were in a band called Brawl and wanted to play cover songs to see if we could break the ice with each other.
I challenged them to play me their originals and they’re like, “What are you going to sing,” and I’m like, “I’ll come up with something,” and what I came up with was, “Your mind won’t let you say that you want me.” And that was the first chorus from ‘Want’ off of ‘The Sickness’ and the band that was Brawl become Disturbed. Back then, I was still feeling out lyrical delivery that was rhythmic in nature that always had a very specific defined cadence to it, that was somewhat rapid fire or staccato in nature. It’s something I’ve been doing for years and it’s something that’s been a part of who I am. It’s become identified with Disturbed because that’s the band I am a part of. I’m the lead singer for that band so people are going to know that.

We thought for sure that by now, on the 19th anniversary of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain‘s death, every last shred of documentation regarding the iconic rocker’s suicide would have been unearthed. Turns out we were wrong.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the hometown paper of record, sent several photographers to Cobain’s Lake Washington Boulevard mansion on April 8, 1994, the day an electrician discovered the body. Several of the pictures — including a famous front page image showing Cobain’s body from the waist down — appeared in hundreds of papers worldwide the next day, but apparently, there were additional shots not published at the time. They’ve been preserved at Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry, but today, the Post-Intelligencer has finally published them.
Although Cobain’s body itself isn’t pictured, “some of these photos could be disturbing to some readers,” notes the paper. “These are not presented for shock value, but rather as historical images from the P-I archive preserved at [Museum of History and Industry].”

Now’s your chance. Machine Head are holding public auditions to find a temporary bass player. The goal of Machine Head’s new experiment? Finding a stellar musician to perform with the band on this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour.
In a shocking turn of events last month, Machine Head fired original bassist Adam Duce after over 20 years of holding down the low end for the band. To find a temporary bassist for the duration of the Mayhem Festival, Machine Head turned to the 767,000+ fans on their Facebook page. Want details?

Morrissey‘s health has been a hot topic as of late, what with all of the scrapped shows, double pneumonia scare and ultimately canceled tour. Now, the singer has revealed that things were even worse than they appeared — and they already looked pretty bad — as he apparently suffered internal bleeding. He’s also said that doctors have urged him to retire in order to preserve his health.
NO WAY.
“It almost became absurd the number of things that happened to me but everything just attacked me at once,” he added. “The double pneumonia – everything was really a result of the fact I had lost so much blood, so the immune defenses were very, very low and couldn’t cope with anything, so therefore the slightest gust of wind and I would have a terrible cold.”
While doctors have suggested that he retire in order to tend to his health and avoid further illnesses, he’s not sold on hanging it up.
“I have been cautioned to, but it’s difficult for me because it’s very ingrained in me,” he said.

The Strokes are now streaming their newest album, Comedown Machine, on their website — a week ahead of its scheduled release date of March 25. Comedown Machine will be the New York-based rock band’s fifth studio album. Their previous album, Angles, was released in 2011.
Favorites so far on this album are track 05, “80′s Comedown Machine, and track 10, “Happy Ending”. Who wouldn’t like a happy ending? Check it out, let us know what you think!
Depeche Mode went with a ballad as the first single off their forthcoming thirteenth studio album, and now they’re showing off a different side of ‘Delta Machine.’ ‘Soothe My Soul,’ the disc’s second single, is decidedly more up-tempo than ‘Heaven,’ with pounding beats, rhythmic pulses and throbbing electronics creating a sinister backdrop for Dave Gahan’s typically foreboding words. It’s awesome, check it OUT:

Metallica frontman James Hetfield sure loves to say, “Yeah!” Both beloved and playfully lampooned for his legendary use of the affirmative, James Hetfield and his “Yeah’s” have been immortalized by a diligent audio technician, who has compiled every single “Yeah!” from Hetfield’s recorded history into a hilarious three-minute-and-sixteen-second montage.
Check out the James Hetfield ‘Yeah!’ compilation, and to anyone brave enough to successfully count the number of “Yeah’s” in the song, you have our upmost respect.
Click YEAH! to hear compilation.
