Asked how the NEW DEFTONES disc sounds, Moreno told Billboard.com, "It's not a super fast or slow record. It's very dynamic. Some of my favorite things about DEFTONES are the dynamics. Yes, we're a heavy band, but we're not just in-your-face aggro the whole time, punching you in the face. There's a lot of aggression in some of the music, but there's also this very soothing element where there's a lot of soundscapes rather than attack, attack, attack the whole time. I understand that's a big part of our sound, but I really feel like we reached a peak on our dynamics on this record with those two qualities — the beauty of something and just straight, ruthless aggression."

Pete Townshend's Special Acoustic Jam Of "Won't Get Fooled Again" + Discussion About His NEW Autobiography

 
Recently, Pete Townshend (The Who) sat down with Jann Wenner from Rolling Stone to discuss the legendary guitarist's NEW autobiography entitled "Who I Am". You can watch the full discussion below – and stay tuned until the end, when the rocker kicks into The Who's classic song "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Regarding his autobiography:

"The kind of book I wanted to write would be more like war journalism, a war biography – I have survived," Townshend explains. "I think what I wanted to write about was about the way that the post-war period in the U.K. set up this atmosphere, this set of conditions, that was exactly right for when we discovered R&B."

COHEED AND CAMBRIA Forced To Postpone Tour Dates Due To Claudio Sanchez's Throat Issue - Statement Available!

It has been reported that COHEED AND CAMBRIA have been forced to postpone all of their previously announced headlining shows this month so that vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez can receive treatment for throat swelling. Commented Sanchez:

"I am truly devastated to tell you that I [could not] perform [Monday night, October 22] in St. Louis and that we will be postponing all headline shows this week until after Thanksgiving.

"After holding off [Sunday] night, we felt confident I’d be good to go [on Monday], but I have spent all morning in a doctor’s office in St Louis where they did a full evaluation on my throat and found some swelling that could possibly cause some long-term damage if i continue without rest.

"I am flying back to New York to see my normal doctor and get fully on the mend.

"I know this is a big disappointment, especially for those of you in St Louis — it really hurts us to do this, but it's what we have to do."

As previously reported, Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd was fired from the band after being arrested by  Attleboro, MA Police, after showing a Walgreens pharmacist a note on  his cell phone which said he had a bomb and that he wanted some  Oxycontin. Oxycontin! Really? Then to make matters worse, he fled the  scene via taxi with six bottles of pain pills. Police arrested him  without any incidents outside of the Comcast Theater where Coheed and  Cambria were scheduled to open up for Soundgarden (the band performed  without him). He was charged with armed robbery and unlawful possession  of prescription narcotics. He was released on July 25th after posting a  $25,000 bail, and is currently awaiting trial.

The band has announced that Zach Cooper is the NEW bassist of the band via this introductory video:



The band had previously announced, the return of  drummer Josh Eppard, as the replacement of Chris Pennie (who quit the band last year). The band is stoked to be back in form. They recently toured all over North America as part of the "Maiden England" tour with IRON MAIDEN.
