Geoff Tate Takes Cell Phone Away From A Fan In The Midst Of A Concert - Video Available!

Wow! This is absolutely insane! Geoff Tate, the lead vocalist for the second lineup of Queensrÿche (yeah, there are two Queensrÿche's at the moment), seems to be losing control of his temper. While we understand that it has to be frustrating to be let go from your band because of "outright business necessity" (details HERE), Tate has to get it together before he loses all of his fans.

Recently, his version of Queensrÿche performed at the Arcada Theater in St. Charles, Illinois, as part of the 25th Anniversary Tour of Queensrÿche’s ‘Operation: Mindcrime’ album. 10 minutes into the concert, Tate snatched a cell phone away from a fan who was recording the show. Watch video of the incident below (it happens at around the 10:00 minute mark):

SLAYER Fanatics: Watch Videos Of Jeff Hanneman's Memorial Celebration

                                                               See more photos HERE!

Yesterday (May 24), the Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration took place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Hanneman passed away on Thursday, May 2, from liver failure (Details HERE).

The event featured appearances by Kerry King, Brian Slagel (Founder/CEO of Metal Blade Records/Slayer's First Label), Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, System of a Down’s Shavo Odadjian, Dino Paredes from American Recordings (Slayer’s longtime label), Marshall Amplification’s Nick Bowcott and the Slayer Family and Management Team of Rick Sales, Kristen Mulderig, Andrew Stuart, Jen Jacobs and Nick John. Kristen Mulderig also had the honor of reading a beautiful letter from Jeff's widow Kathy Hanneman.

Guess who didn't show up? The freaks from the Westboro Baptist Church, who had threatened to picket the memorial ceremony. Here are some videos from the memorial:




















Our condolences go out to Jeff's family, friends and the Slayer camp! Rock in Peace, Jeff!

Tony Iommi Talks About Why The Band Replaced Bill Ward With Brad Wilk

BLACK SABBATH will be releasing their comeback record entitled '13' on June 10 via Vertigo (album artwork & details HERE). Talk about beating all odds! Not only was the record produced in the midst of Tony Iommi's ongoing cancer treatment, but they also lost their legendary drummer Bill Ward because of contractual issues.

Members of the band were recently interviewed for a cover story in the July 2013 issue of Guitar World magazine. During the interview, Iommi talked about having to replace Bill Ward with Brad Wilk (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, AUDIOSLAVE).

Iommi on Bill Ward's complains about the financial terms presented by the band: "I was shocked. We were hearing stuff from lawyers, like, 'I'm not happy with this. I'm not happy with that.' We waited a long time for Bill and we wanted to sort it out. But at the end of the day, especially after I was diagnosed, I thought, Fucking hell, that's it. We've got to get a move on. I might pop off next year! So I emailed him and said, 'Bill, we can't wait any longer. We've got to get on with it.' And that was it."

On having Brad Wilk record drums on '13':

Iommi: "We had our doubts, because they play a different, funky sort of music. But after a few days of rehearsal, we knew [producer] Rick [Rubin] was right. Brad was a really good player, and he was getting it. We liked his style and the way he tried different things instead of being regimented. It was sort of jazzy and loose, like Bill."

In other SABBATH news, last week, the band performed a NEW song from '13' on the season finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Check it out HERE!

Max Cavalera Will Not Be Part Of NEW SEPULTURA Documentary & Might Have To Take Legal Action!

As announced yesterday HERE, SEPULTURA are calling all the members of the tribe, in order to help them out with the production of the "official" SEPS documentary via Kickstarter.

Right after we heard about this, our first question was whither or not the co-founders of the band (Max and Iggor Cavalera) would be included on this documentary. Max's wife Gloria Bujnowski, who managed SEPULTURA all the way until Max left the band in 1996, posted the following message regarding the above mentioned documentary. She also made it very clear that Max does not use Facebook and that all accounts that claim to be Max are fake.

"Just to remind you, Max has no FB page, so please do not friend the numerous people pretending to be him. Also, Max is NOT involved in the "official" documentary being made, even though they are using his image without Max's permission. Don't be fooled!! Funny they are using a song Max wrote, for the add, instead of a song they wrote.... Max's book, out this fall, will give the true story of his life! Have a killer Tuesday and Thank you!!"

 

In our humble opinion if the current members of SEPULTURA want to add production value to their documentary, they should patch things up with the Cavalera's and include them in the documentary. Otherwise, they are cutting out the roots of the band out.

ESCAPE Becomes The First Cuban Based Metal Band To Ever Perform In New York City - Videos Available!

This passed Saturday, April 27th, music history was written by ESCAPE at "Metal Revolution" (presented by Horns Up Rocks and Unblock The Rock) at Tobacco Road in New York City, as they become the first Cuban based band to ever perform in New York City! In celebration of this awesome achievement the band were joined on stage by legendary guitar player Alex Skolnick of TESTAMENT. Joining ESCAPE were their Cuban brothers from FIREHAZE as well as SHITKILL, DEATH IMMORTAL, SIXTH RENAISSANCE and DARK MATTER.

The entire night was a great musical experience for all involved, and we have to hand it to the crowd who packed Tobacco Road from beginning to end. Thanks to everyone who was part of METAL REVOLUTION! Here are some videos filmed by our good friend Carlos "Panchito" Sanchez of ESCAPE's performance!






Horns Up Rocks decided to join forces with UBTR to host Escape at Tobacco Road. "For Horns Up Rocks it is vital to keep underground music alive and breathing. This can only be done thanks to bands like ESCAPE, a band willing to cross all borders for the love of their music, and most importantly their culture,” explained our founder Jö Schüftan.

SEPULTURA Need Your Help Producing Their Official Documentary!

SEPULTURA are calling all the members of the tribe, in order to help them out with the production of the official SEPS documentary. Read on...

"The long awaited documentary about SEPULTURA’s incredible journey from Brazil to the world. Filmmaker Otavio Juliano has been following SEPULTURA for the better part of 2010-2013, a time of tension and triumph for the band, as they toured and recorded their album 'Kairos'. Nothing has been off-limits. This amazing story will go through SEPULTURA’s history, myths, conflicts, personnel changes and struggles with the Internet economy in the early 2000s as well interviews and rare footage. This documentary is certain to bring fans closer to the band they love. 

"About 50% of the film has been shot so far. We have witnessed this historic band experiencing wrenching transformations and unprecedented growth. We opened SEPULTURA's vault and dig into the best rare and unseen footage of the last 30 years. We will see them at their most vulnerable and human, and also as idols of the heavy metal genre. Those elements make the overall film an uncommonly powerful statement.

"Our goal is to make this full length documentary film to raise the most money, breaking all of the sites’ records in the documentary category.

"We want the film to premiere in 2014. For that, InterFace Filmes has already put down the first $100,000.00 to get production going as we have been on the road for the last 3 years with the band.

"We are starting Kickstarter at $100,000,00 just to cover some of the production trips, crew, equipment, rights, image releases, taxes, among others, but our ULTIMATE goal is to raise about $1,000,000.00 to cover the remainder of the production. Anticipated outlays include travel expenses for interviews with former band members and music biz luminaries, as well as all the post production costs, including killer graphics and global distribution to the broadest possible extent.

"If we raise more than $1 MILLION we might even be able to make part of the movie in 3D. 30 years of SEPULTURA in 3D? WHY NOT?

"So, let’s get this going right now! We only have 30 days!"
