Jason Newsted Gets Knocked Out By Stage Diver In New York City - Video Available

Yesterday (May 21), Jason Newsted performed with his solo band NEWSTED at the Highline Ballroom in New York City. During the performance, Newsted was knocked out by a fan who decided it would be a good idea to hop on stage and then stage dive into the crowd. While stage diving is part of Metal shows, this stage diver ended up knocking Jason Newsted off his feet and could have caused some serious injuries on himself, on Newsted, or on other concert goers. Guys: PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

Our good friend Ryan Dwyer (pictured above) was right in front of Newsted when this incident took place, here is what he saw:

"I attended the Jason Newsted show last night in new York City at the Highline Ballroom and an incident took place during 'Whiplash'. During the solo, a fan jumped on stage to jump into the crowd but for some reason in the process, rammed Newsted into the audience where I was, and he fell on top of us and on to the floor. At first we thought Newsted wanted to crowd surf but we had no idea he was pushed since it happened so fast. Myself and the fans around me thought Jason was going to crowd surf but turns out a fan knocked him down and thought it was awesome that he did it. It looked like he was shaken up for a few seconds but the band continued on with 'Whiplash'. Jason was in high spirits again and continued playing like a badass. I caught up with Jason after the show and showed him the video. He was feeling a little sore but was still ok. He even said to me, put it on Youtube."




Upcoming NEWSTED tour dates in the United States:

May 22: The Middle East Downstairs - Cambridge, MA
May 23: The Stone Pony - Asbury Park, NJ

Members Of LAMB OF GOD Ask For Their Fans To Use Caution At Concerts

Recently, Lamb Of God’s Mark Morton and Chris Adler sat down with Fuse TV and discussed how their viewpoints on crowd control have changed since vocalist Randy Blythe was arrested in the Czech Republic on manslaughter charges last year (details HERE). A couple of excerpts follow.
 
Guitarist Mark Morton explained that LOG have been much more safety aware since Blythe was arrested, charged and later cleared of causing bodily harm of the fourth degree, resulting in the death of a fan (Daniel Nosek): “You know, based on that experience, I think it just underscored, probably for all of us, the need for everyone to be safe at shows and to look out for each other. It’s scary that there are situations people can get hurt in.”

However, the band would not be taming down their live show: “Randy mentions it on stage a little more often and just tries to keep everyone aware of it. We’re all there to have fun, it’s not about getting hurt, that’s for sure,” Morton said.

Adler agreed: “We can’t just stop people from stage-diving for the rest of eternity, that’s not what we’re trying to do, but I think [that] when you come to the show, you need to know that you need to be responsible for your actions and you need to think about what you’re doing.”

Blythe himself recently posted a lengthy emotional letter, asking everyone to be safe and be careful at the band’s shows: “Absolutely no one is welcome on the stage if we have not invited you up there, and unless you are a small child or in a wheel chair, that is not likely to happen,” he wrote. “Please respect this.”

DEFTONES To Release 'Eros', Chi Cheng's Very Last Recordings With The Band!

According to www.blabbermouth.net, the DEFTONES plan on releasing 'Eros' in the near future. 'Eros' is the very last record featuring their original bassist Chi Cheng, who passed away recently (details HERE). The band was actually finalizing the record, when Chi suffered life threatening injuries following a November 2008 car crash that eventually costed him his life. Chino Moreno had just left the studio after recording his vocal tracks for 'Eros' and was about half-way done with all songs on the album when the accident occurred.

Following the accident, the band decided to not release the album because they wanted to release a better record. They then recruited Sergio Vega (ex-QUICKSAND) to play bass, with whom they have released two albums: 2010's 'Diamond Eyes' and 2012's 'Koi No Yokan'. Chi's last record with the band is 2006's 'Saturday Night Wrist'.

Here in an interview that Artisan News conducted with Chino at the "Black Carpet", during the fifth edition of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. Chino talks in detail about 'Eros'.



The DEFTONES recently unleashed a brand NEW video for their song "Swerve City", a song taken from their latest album 'Koi No Yokan' (legal download available HERE). You can watch the video for "Swerve City" HERE!

IRON MAIDEN: Did Nicko McBrain' Son Steal From His Own Family?

Wow! Justin McBrain (pictured above), the son of IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain, will be facing a judge soon to defend himself against allegations that he robbed the items mentioned below at his parents' home in Palm Beach, Florida. The incident took place on April 26th.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Mc Brain allegedly burglarized an occupied dwelling and 2nd degree petit theft. A PBSO spokesperson told BocaNewsNow.com that deputies responded to a West Boca home after receiving a call that McBrain forced his way inside. The female homeowner (Nick Mc Brain's wife) reported  that McBrain knocked repeatedly and then pushed his way in when the door was opened. McBrain allegedly rifled through the woman’s purse, taking the following items:

- A half-eaten chocolate bunny
- Half of an orange — which he consumed in the home —
- A belly ring
- Cosmetics
- Freezer pack

Justin is the second McBrain to get arrested within the last month. His mother Rebecca was charged by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office after she lost her cool and allegedly attempted to hurt a man. It it is unclear if that man was Nicko McBrain. More info on that case HERE!

In other IRON MAIDEN news, the band will make a brief return to the USA this September, playing seven specially selected shows en-route to Latin America where they will once again headline at the legendary Rock In Rio Festival, Brazil, on September 22, their show there having recently sold out to 70,000 fans in just a couple of hours!

Phil Anselmo: Record Store Day & The Comeback Of Vinyl Records; DOWN's US Tour Begins Soon!

Earlier this week, Forbes Magazine (Forbes.com) posted an in-depth piece on the comeback of vinyl and Record Store Day, written by Tim Clark. In a time where people are quick to label the current state of the music industry as "failing" or "experiencing a downfall", Tim Clark points out that the independent record store experience illustrates otherwise.

Ex-Pantera and current DOWN vocalist and Housecore Records CEO Philip H. Anselmo was interviewed for the piece, and gave his personal thoughts on the rise in record store activity and how it supports growth in the music business and community. As one of the leading voices of the recent indie label and independent music takeover, Forbes looked to Anselmo has a voice of authority.

From Forbes piece: "When he was younger, Anselmo used to constantly scour underground record stores and to this day still believes in the vinyl format."

"Record Store Day promotes this type of passion of having the actual product in your hand instead of just a download", said Anselmo. "I love having the full album, art, lyrics and I think vinyl sounds better. And as a label owner, it makes me happy to see that people slowly but surely want to have this tangible copy in their hands instead of a free [expletive] download, which is driving me [expletive] bananas."

Record Store Day is now celebrated on the third Saturday every April is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Which means that Record Store Day is TOMORROW! Forbes calls Record Store Day, "an industry phenomenon".

IRON MAIDEN: Did Nicko McBrain Get Attacked By His Wife?

Wow! Rebecca McBrain (pictured above), the wife of IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain, will be facing a judge on May 3rd to defend herself against allegations that she attempted to stab and hit a man with logs at their home in Palm Beach, Florida. The incident took place on February 24th. It is unclear if the man was Nicko McBrain!
 
According to Boca News Now, McBrain was arrested and charged with Domestic Battery after she allegedly — and unsuccessfully — tried to stab someone  in their home with a "decorative lance” on Woodset Way — just south of Palmetto Park Road, then threw logs at the man, causing minor injuries. She was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail and later released on bond. She has entered a plea of “not guilty".

Whither it was Nicko who she attacked or not, Rebecca needs to mellow out!

In other IRON MAIDEN news, the band will make a brief return to the USA this September, playing seven specially selected shows en-route to Latin America where they will once again headline at the legendary Rock In Rio Festival, Brazil, on September 22, their show there having recently sold out to 70,000 fans in just a couple of hours!
