ALTER BRIDGE are thrilled to announce they will be returning to the UK for a six-date arena tour this October. The upcoming tour marks the band’s first time back in the UK since November 2011. In the interim, guitarist Mark Tremonti released his debut solo record 'All I Was', singer/guitarist Myles Kennedy returned fronting Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, and drummer Scott Phillips teamed up with friends in Sevendust to form Projected. ALTER BRIDGE toured extensively in support of their last album 'ABIII', released in 2010. That tour was immortalized in the band’s now legendary sold-out performance at London’s Wembley Arena in November 2011 and released as the Alter Bridge: Live At Wembley DVD. Currently, the band - completed by bassist Brian Marshall - are hard at work writing/recording their new album, set for release via Roadrunner Records this September.
Frontman Myles Kennedy exclaims, "Thrilled to be returning to the UK with SHINEDOWN and HALESTORM later this year! I’m looking forward to reconnecting with the part of the world that embraced ALTER BRIDGE from the start".
This just in! Hard Rock band PAPA ROACH has been forced to pull out from all remaining dates of the
Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival. Apparently vocalist Jacoby Shaddix
has been diagnosed with a nodule on his left vocal cord, and will undergo corrective surgery to remove the
nodule and prevent further damage. Here is what Shaddix had to say about this:
"It's no secret that I've
been having issues with my voice lately. I was hoping to be able to go
out there and kill it on this tour by resting and doing vocal exercises,
but my voice has just gone out on me. I hate to let our fans down, but
unfortunately surgery is the only way to fix it. The last thing we want to do is give our fans less than 100% every
night. We know they'll understand and we'll be back better than ever."
"It was amazing having PAPA ROACH on the road with us for the first few Uproar shows. We're disappointed that they can't continue for the rest of the tour, but Jacoby's health is the priority and we wish him a speedy recovery," says Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival co-producer John Oakes.
As of today (Friday, August 24), the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival main stage schedule will be adjusted to allow longer performances from SHINEDOWN, GODSMACK, STAIND and ADELITAS WAY.

Aaron Lewis, vocalist and frontman of Massachusetts Hard Rock outfit STAIND, has revealed to Billboard.com that his band is planning to go on a temporary hiatus after they complete their current album cycle next year.
STAIND released its self-titled latest album in September 2011 and is currently preparing for the August 17 launch of the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival. A full list of tour dates and all the details can be seen below.

We're just going to take a little hiatus that really hasn't ever been taken in our career. We put out seven records in 14 years. We've been pretty busy."

This just in: GODSMACK have announced that due to continued vocal issues with singer Sully Erna, the band has no option but to cancel the remaining dates on its currently scheduled European tour. Erna was examined by throat specialists in the U.S. yesterday and the advice of his doctors has been to not sing for the next several weeks to allow time for his vocal cords to heal. Here is a statement from Sully Erna:
"Sorry, Europe. Seems like we can't catch a break there lately. London, you were one of the best crowds we've played to in a very long time.... Belgium, you were awesome as well. As for the rest of you in Europe that we weren't able to reach, I promise you we'll be back!! For now it's lots of rest and fluids for me until my vocal specialist clears me to sing again. My deepest apologies Europe! You'll see us again. Thanks for your support and understanding."
The current trek marked the first time GODSMACK had toured Europe in
nearly nine years, and the band was only able to perform two of their
fourteen scheduled dates in Europe.
As previously reported, GODSMACK will perform on the main stage of The Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival along with multiplatinum Rock bands SHINEDOWN, STAIND
and PAPA ROACH, along with breaking band ADELITAS WAY. In addition, the
Ernie Ball Stage and Jägermeister Stage in the festival area will
include performances from multiplatinum headliner P.O.D., as well as
up-and-coming artists DEUCE, FOZZY, REDLIGHT KING, MINDSET EVOLUTION
(winner of the 2011 Uproar Battle Of The Bands), IN THIS MOMENT,

Revolver Magazine is constantly releasing issues that are collectors items. In commemoration of the 10-year anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, they united forces with various Heavy Music musicians in an issue titled "Salute the Troops". One of the bands featured on this issue (available everywhere on August 16th), is Five Finger Death Punch who talk about how their 2010 trip to the Middle East to play for U.S. troops helped bring them closer together. 5FDP’s highly-anticipated third album titled "American Capitalist" is set for release on October 11th, 2011. The band is also featured on the cover of the magazine.
Other artists that discuss their experience on U.S.O. tours include: Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Godsmack, Staind, and Shinedown. Additionally, members of Tool, All That Remains, and others share stories of their times serving in the military.
The new issue of Revolver Magazine also includes a feature on American Idol contestant James Durbin, who urged the United States to “give Metal a chance.” He discusses how he discovered Metal by listening to Ronnie James Dio on the radio, what performing on Idol alongside artists like Zakk Wylde and Judas Priest was like, and what the future holds for him.
This legendary issue includes articles on Megadeth and former Skid Row singer and reality TV star Sebastian Bach, as well as Metallica, the movie Fright Night, Theory of a Deadman, Kittie, Chimaira, Eyes Set to Kill, and many others.
Wait, there's more! As a special exclusive bonus, the newsstand edition of the new issue contains limited-edition baseball cards of the “Big 4” bands of Thrash Metal (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax), who are set to play the historic first Metal show ever at Yankee Stadium on September 14. The cards are modeled after the classic Topps baseball cards from 1986, the same year these four bands released their masterpieces.
The new issue of Revolver Magazine is available everywhere on August 16th! Pick it up!
