Slipknot’s bassist has spoken to all the fans about Joey’s health state and apologised for canceling future shows. Apparently Jordison is fine and had to deal with some problems (both health and personal related), although the band is not splitting up like some people assumed. Paul Gray confirmed that Slipknot will continue touring as soon as Joey comes back from the hospital. He mentioned that touring is their live and they wouldn’t be able to disappoint all their fans.

Gray also confirmed that the October tour will be played, and that the band is not going to split. He thanked everybody who sent them emails, texts and said that he cannot wait to see us all on their shows. See you there!

Diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs, everybody scratched Zakk as a living person, but it seems that they did this too fast, cause the legend of squeals has spoken about it through his Twitter account:

To all our Black Label family worldwide, thanks for all the ‘get-wells. Every 48 hours [I have to get myself to] the [hospital] ER [emergency room] to check my blood. Had a CT scan today and have blood clots in each of my lungs as well as my leg. [I] can’t sing because pushing can cause an embolism.

An embolism is a term describing small objects circulating through the blood system and causing blockages. Black Label Society dropped the remaining tour dates due to Zakk’s sickness. We hope that Zakky will get better ASAP, cause we can’t loose another brilliant guitarist!

The band’s spokesman denied that the band is going to split and all other rumors claiming that this is the main reason why Oasis pulled out of the V Festival couple of days ago. On August 24 Liam posted a message on his Twitter apologizing for not playing on V Festival, and stating that the band is still going to exist, despite the tabloids’ claims.

V Festival was always scheduled as the last UK gig for this ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ world tour, Oasis will complete the rest of the world tour in Europe and then take some well-earned time off before they begin to think about the next album and tour.

We will see about the bands condition, and their plans for the future, who knows – we might even see one of the legends past away.

This is something we’ve been waiting for. A big, progressive, massively entertaining and beautifully crafted music is arriving to Europe. Here is the line up for the upcoming months for all those of you who definitely need something really moving. You need Dream Theater!

Dave Mustaine is crazy,we all knew that before. But he is actually the first metal musician to start a radio show with his own music. And we’re not talking about usual chit-chat, or a talkshow. This guy is going to bring us hell to our doorsteps. He has already confirmed that eh will be working closely with Clear Radio and some of his friends, interviewing anything that has metal indicated it. He also mentioned something about playing the music that we are not aware that he likes, like Beatles, or Dead Kennedy’s.

Finally somebody who can tell “I know what music will rock your butts off” will be joining forces with radio stations to promote and satisfy thousands of fans. Hell yeah!

Apparently Slipknot has canceled some of their upcoming gigs as their drummer Joey Jordison’s illness. The musician should be back on track soon but we shouldn’t expect any shows in the near future as whole August and September have been dropped. We hope that Joey will come back to his form soon so the band could re-start touring the world.

In the meantime their new re-release of the first album in special 10th anniversary edition pack is available to buy in your local stores and online of course.

Corey Taylor will be join us soon alongside of Stone Sour on few upcoming gigs. Stay tuned for more info!

The new Nickelback’s single has been released with a brand new video on AOLMusic. Their latest release, “Dark Horse” is a good smash and grab among rock artists, so finally our patience has been awarded with this explosive video clip. New album is on sale at Amazon, iTunes and AOL Music, but you can also grab it from your local music store.

Video has been released yesterday and it’s available widely from Noisecreep. On the new album they hired Robert “Mutt” Lange to sit in the producers chair. This legend of sound has produce for stars like Def Leppard, AC/DC etc. Surely Nickelback loves their ’80’s style rock!

Yesterday the group spokesman announced that the Oasis are pulling out of the V Festival due to Mick Gallagher’s viral laryngitis. It seems that the black clouds have gathered over the band heads as there are rumors going around that this might be their last show in the UK. They are suppose to reunite at the end of the month for Paris Show (28.08.09), but musician’s blog entries are proving that they are not entirely enjoying their shows. As well one of the brothers mentioned:

He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him, that’s it.

This was just a response to the questions about how they get along. Apparently they don’t even travel together anymore. Stay tuned for more details!

The Time Magazine released a list compiled by music critic Josh Tyrangiel, which contains the best guitar players ever. Among the candidates to the crown were well known personas, such as: Jimmy Page, B B King, Yngwie Malmsteen or Slash. But Hendrix beat them all with his fusion of blues, rock and progressive guitar riffs that gave many young people a kickstart to become great guitarists themselves.

Also Slash who took the second position was mentioned as a very precise player. Keith Richards who was placed as 4th best guitar player has gained a remarkably good position with his incredibly popular riffs that he wrote more than anyone else in the world.

We are surprised that there is no sign of great modern players such as Joe Satriani or John Petrucci (Dream Theater), who also deserve a piece of this important cake and have done remarkable thing with their axes. Satriani alone reinvented modern blues-rock fusion and taught many well known guitarists like: Steve Vai or Kirk Hammet.

The full list of the greatest guitarist ever goes like this:

01. Jimi Hendrix
02. Slash
03. B.B. King
04. Keith Richards
05. Eric Clapton
06. Jimmy Page
07. Chuck Berry
08. Les Paul
09. Yngwie Malmsteen
10. Prince

Muse will be coming back home on September 4th & 5th to Teignbridge Den. They had to be give a go by the local council and are on the strict policy (for example the loudness of the music must not exceed 84.1 decibels. The bassist of Muse mention that his very excited about playing there as this will be something different to the radio session or a London gig. He said that this will be their proud moment and should show people what they have achieved during last 12 years.

We will want to give something back to the community – maybe a youth organisation – but we have got to look at that in more detail.

Fans can grab their tickets starting from tomorrow (21st of August) so take your place in the queue!
