Seether are hitting the home stretch in recording their next album. The band, who ended 2013 by releasing a career-spanning hits collection, have been hard at work on a new record while their compilation keeps them in the minds of fans.
This past weekend, a YouTube video of adorable 6-year-old self-taught drummer Jaxon Smith playing drums to the Foo Fighters hit ‘The Pretender’ went viral. As one viewer commentated, ” took John Bonham long enough to reincarnate himself…,” referring to the late Led Zeppelin stickman.
Five Finger Death Punch are known for their heavy grooves and angst-y vocals, but the gents have also earned a good reputation for performing regularly for the U.S. troops overseas. The guys were recently in Iraq, and drummer Jeremy Spencer says it’s an experience they wouldn’t trade for anything.
In what seems like a marriage made in rock ‘n’ roll heaven, last night Motley Crue announced their upcoming residency at the Joint at Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas for 12 shows, Feb. 3-19, 2012.
Marilyn Manson drummer and keyboardist, Chris Vrenna, has left the band to spend more time working on his band Tweaker, scoring music for films and video games, DJing and producing other artists.
Michael Pedicone, who’s been the drummer for My Chemical Romance since 2010, has been fired for stealing from the band.
What exactly he took is still unclear, but the band’s guitarist, Frank Iero, made his displeasure clear in a news post on MCR’s website.
