Singer Fires Gun At Concert
The world just keeps getting crazier and crazier. While we have always had to worry about concert goers with weapons, now it turns out that we need to be afraid of the actual performers too (rappers aside).

AP reports: Guatemalan police say they have arrested a singer who fired a gun at a concert after he was told to get off the stage before playing. No one was hurt.

Police spokesman Sergio Garcia says Diego Lopez of the band Santa Cecilia fired eight shots in the air and at the stage Saturday night at a concert in the city of Quetzaltenango. - read the full AP report here

Joe Perry Discusses The State of Aerosmith
(antiMusic) The Aerosmith drama continues and Steven Tyler's future in the band continues to be in question. Fans were hopeful that Tyler's surprise appearance one stage with Joe Perry last week, where Steven told the audience he wasn't leaving Aerosmith, meant that relations within the band were on the mend but Perry tells a radio show a different tale of the reunion.

Gazer of WZMR 104.9 The Edge in Albany spoke with Perry in an interview that aired Sunday, where Perry discussed the circumstance of the onstage jam, and the future of the band. Perry told Gazer that Tyler "came down to my show in New York. I think he walked into the club right at the encore because he really didn't know which songs we had played up til them. But we had 'Walk this Way' left and I thought I would give the fans a treat and have him come sit in with my band." That's the part of the story most fans have heard about but Perry goes on to tell Gazer that "He came in, he sang and he left. I looked around afterwards, because we played one more song, and I went back looking for him and he was gone. They say he just walked off the stage and left."

Perry said that Tyler, who is currently under different management than the rest of the band, wants to take two years off from the band. (Remember it was basically a two camp management rift that split the Beatles apart.) He once again discussed bringing in a new singer. "I have a bunch of favorite singers, but I certainly haven't pictured them on stage with Aerosmith yet." So for now it is still a wait and see game to figure out the future of the famed Boston rock band.

While the interview isn't up on the The Edge's website at press time, here is a link to - Gazer's blog page in case he adds it.

Slayer Postpone Tour
It is with immense disappointment that Slayer must postpone its UK and European tour that had been set to kick off on November 18 in the UK, and take the band on 19 dates through Europe, ending on December 17 in Germany. The tour will be rescheduled to kick off on March 7 in Manchester, England (complete itinerary is below).

Vocalist/bassist Tom Araya has been under the care of a specialist for a back injury, and while he has already made substantial improvement, he is continuing on with doctor-prescribed treatment.

"Right now," said Slayer's manager, Rick Sales, "our main concern must be the full and permanent recovery of Tom, so we have decided to clear the calendar and give him the extra time he needs to concentrate solely on good health." - more on this story

Deftones Announce Chi Cheng Benefit Auction
On November 17th, Deftones with the assistance of CharityBuzz.com will commence a three week online auction to raise money for their brother, Chi Cheng. With the event only a few days away, the response has been overwhelming and Chino, as well as Deftones, would like to send their thanks to all involved:

Wow, first let me start off saying how amazed I am at the generosity of all the friends and artists who have come forward for this auction. We, Deftones are so very grateful to all for your donations and time you've put into making this a success. I myself had no idea it would be this big. Just goes to show how many good friends and good will Chi has made over the last 20 years, just being the good dude he is.

If you were lucky enough to befriend Chi over the last couple decades you would know that there is not a more kind, or more giving person. It's so great to see it all coming back around for him. - more on this story

As we come closer to the year 2010, we're going to be taking a quick look back at some of the biggest stories of the past decade. We kick off today with Jan - March of 2000. We'll start with the second most read story in antiMusic history from March of 2000: Pantera fans are in an all out war against 'NSYNC. No, they are not bashing young teenage girls upside their heads. What they are doing is mobilizing to position Pantera ahead of 'NSYNC where it counts the most, in album sales. more

Third Eye Blind is the latest band to join the growing list of acts that have undergone a lineup change this month. If you cruise over to Third Eye Blinds web site you will notice that Kevin Cadogan is nowhere to be found. To add insult to injury apparently the band not only fired the poor guy but they pulled the old Quiet Riot trick of leaving the newly axed member stranded on the road. more

Jay-Z appeared in the New York Criminal Court in Manhattan on February 22nd, and plead "not Guilty" to first and second degree assault charges. more

And again, some things never change: Britney Spears was accused by a reporter for the Birmingham News of Lip Syncing during a recent concert in Alabama. According to the reviewer, who watched the show from the front row, Britney used far too many pre-recorded vocals during her set. The reporter said Britney's performance was "like a badly dubbed movie or a cheapo cartoon." more

We'll be back tomorrow with a look at the biggest stories from April thru June of 2000 as our end of the decade countdown continues. -

Benji Madden's Taintstick Releases Monkey Video
Taintstick, featuring radio host Jason Ellis and Good Charlotte's Benji Madden, have released their video for the track "Monkeys Of War" online at www.myspace.com/metal.

The track is the latest single from Taintstick's debut album,""6lbs of Sound", which debuted at #120 on the Billboard Top 200.

Quite possibly the best thing to hit rock n' roll since the Beatles, Taintstick is a once-in-a-generation explosion of heavy metal ecstasy. The band arouses the once-proud demons of rock and roll from their long and shameful slumber with their debut album. Fronted by none other than pro skateboarder/MMA fighter Jason Ellis, alongside drummer/studio mastermind Shoebox, Cowf**ker on guitar, and Good Charlotte's Benji Madden handling the bass, Taintstick are a powerful musical wrecking crew.

As I Lay Dying In The Studio
As I Lay Dying is currently holed up with Adam D. and Daniel Castleman at Lambesis Studios in San Diego, CA. They're hard at work recording and writing their follow up to 2007's An Ocean Between Us. The band will be recording and writing throughout the rest of 2009 and vocalist Tim Lambesis has issued the following update via the band's myspace page:

"We've released little bits of information here or there in previous news posts and blogs, but there are still questions coming in concerning what we've been up to. Below is an unquestionably obvious outline concerning our future plans… 1) We started working on new album. 2) We started recording the new album a few weeks ago with Adam D & Daniel Castleman at the reigns (and JMR for a couple weeks). 3) There are only drums for 8 songs tracked so far. One of them we're undecided about, but maybe it'll feel different when the vocals are done. Either way, we need write more than 8 songs (since they aren't as long as the 8 songs on Master of Puppets). Therefore we're working on writing MORE new songs as soon as we finish recording what's been started. 4) The only break in working on the new album will be our short trip to Mexico and Sri Lanka to play two of the best shows of our career. 5) All of us can't stress enough how grateful we are to be writing music that we love while still receiving a paycheck. This can only be credited to OUR LOYAL FANS! Sometimes bands need to rush out a crappy record so they can start touring again to pay their bills.

"In our case, we plan to make a record worth listening to (hopefully), and start touring again when we're done. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We care and we're working. In fact, I haven't had a full nights rest since March when the coolest kid ever made me a DAD!" - more on this story
