June 23, 2010 Music News from the Rock Station, 92-7 WQLZ by Bishop Bush reunites 2010 is definitely proving to be the year of reunions. Gavin Rossdale made that even more clear this morning when he announced on LA radio that Bush will be getting back together this year. This fall, expect to see the first new album from the band in nine years, tentatively titled "Everything Always Now." Rossdale previewed the first single "Afterlife" on LA's airwaves Wednesday morning. More details on Bush's tour and album are forthcoming. An epic show It was a moment in history that millions of people tuned into last night. Four of the world's greatest trash metal bands performed on the same stage in a show that was beamed all around the world, including a theater near you! Before the four hour show, interviews with members from the bands and behind the scene footage aired. Then, the bands took to the stage. Some of the highlights include a collaboration of The Big Four playing together at once. The last time Dave Mustaine performed with Metallica was way back in 1983. Last night, however, that 27 year stint was washed away as The Big Four Live culminated in Dave getting on stage along with members of Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer to sing the Diamond Head classic “Am I Evil.” The show was broadcast around the world and here in Springfield, thrash metal fans came out in droves to watch high definition, multi-angle, pro-shot footage of The Big Four's show from Bulgaria. As of now, there are no plans to tour The Big Four in the US. Going solo So, is Static-X done? Well, according to Wayne Static, front man of the industrial nu metal band, answering that question is much more difficult than providing a yes or no response. Static proclaims he is Static-X, after all that is his last name. The way it has always worked is Static would put together some demos of new material, send it off to the other guys in the band, negotiations and arguments would ensue, then the album would be mixed. Static may be tired of that process and is moving forward on a new project called Pighammer that will be Static writing and recording everything without filtering it through a band before production. New tune streaming Meanwhile, there's a new Hellyeah tune streaming online. “Debt That All Men Pay” is the latest from the metal super-group featuring members from Mudvayne, Pantera, Nothingface and Damageplan. The new track is from the upcoming album “Stampede” which will be out July 13th. As with many forthcoming coming albums, there is the chance to pre-order a delux edition with a whole bunch of extra stuff including a DVD, a Hellyeah bull skull, and advanced access to download the album 2 weeks before it comes out.
