Greetings to you all,i do hope you are in the best of health.
David Silveria has left KORN, he was replaced by Terry Bozzio but it
appears that Bozzio has now split from the band and Joey Jordison
Slipnot's super drummer has now joined KORN for the next 5 months. This
will give the band a chance to get on with the touring and recording
committments. Jordison say's that he is looking forward to working with
KORN as he has always been a big fan of their music, Joey will be
playing at this years Donnington festival. I wonder if he will wear his mask?.
I was surprised at reading the favourite 100 Icons of all time that was in The Kerrang Magazine recently.
Joey Jordison came 12th out of 100, this just show's how popular this guy is and what a great drummer.

POLITICS AND PARADIDDLES
BLUR drummer Dave Rowntree has announced that he's intending to run as a Labour candidate for a seat on his local council at an upcoming by-election.
FOOFIGHTERS RE-SIGN TO RCA
Dave Grohl has revealed that his band The Foo Fighters have signed a new record deal with Sony BMG's RCA Records. The band are due to go back into the recording studio to work on the first album of the new deal.
Bullet For My Valentine
Have been added as support for the up and coming gig with Metallica at Wembley Stadium on July 8th also the band called HIM have also been added to the bill.
Grear drummers have known for years that the warmer voices of the K
Zildjian Series can rock as hard as any other now, the all-new K Light
line gives them more options. In fact,drummers like Ronnie Vannucci from The Killers and Travis Barker from plus44 have already made the new 24" K Light Ride cymbal an indispensable part of their sound. This monster generates wide variations of sound and its thin weight provides a dark pitch with plenty of overtones. Lower in pitch than our traditional K Hihats the new 13" and 14" K Light Hihats feature a medium thin top for a broad range of tonal colors, paired with a medium bottom to ensure a solid "chick". Light, but ready to rock.
developed in conjunction with Cindy Blackman, the new 22" K Zildjian
dark Medium Ride is designed to perform in rock and jazz settings with equal effectivness. This cymbal features a large bell for excellent projection in rock settings, and special hammering and lathing to open up the cymbal for broad tonal complexities in jazz settings.
Exclusive "pin" lathing enhances the crashability and gives the cymbal an appearance reminiscent of 1960's era K Zildjians.

It's great to see The Manic Street Preachers back, with a great single
"Your Love Alone Is Not Enough"
the video to this single features Nina Persson from that other fine band
The Cardigans.
The song was written as a duet with Nina in mind. If you did not get a
ticket for their up and coming tour, the reason is it sold out in record
time. With all tickets being snapped up, Sean Moore is the drummer for
The manic Street Preachers.
METALLICA Have announced that they will be playing a One off gig at The New
Wembley Stadium, this gig is billed as (sick of the studio 07) the date is Sunday July 8th.
I am sure this gig will be a total sell out so you had best get your tickets quick. METTALICA have that great drummer Lars Ulrich
