Hopefully; we'll see them in Toronto early April.
Coming to Toronto April 3rd I would assume any Canadian dates would be mid-late April as opposed to early April. I'm going they do a proper UK tour and not just one big (festival) date in England.

Exodus have announced a European tour for next February/March. I've already bagged tickets for the Glasgow show - it's been nearly ten years since they last played up here!

Exodus are a solid band I've had the pleasure seeing open for Megadeth and Slayer numerous times. I may be in the minority in saying this but I loved the Rob Dukes era albums. I bought the last one but have not spun the cd very much since it's Oct 2014 release. I've give it a listen again.

I've got "Bonded by Blood" on my MP3 right now. Great work-out tunes!

Skynryd's Gary Rossington is recovering after a Heart Attack Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gary Rossington is recovering at home after suffering a heart attack. The guitarist ? who's the band's last remaining original member ? underwent surgery and his family asked fans via a Facebook post to pray for him. Also on Facebook, the band have issued an update which says Rossington, 63, is expected to make a full recovery. However, two shows have been cancelled as a result. Skynyrd say: "As Gary recuperates after suffering a heart attack late last week, the band regrets to announce that they?ll be cancelling two upcoming performances. Full refunds are available at points of purchase for Friday?s show in Terre Haute, IN, and the Mt Pleasant, MI, show will be rescheduled in 2016. Gary is currently resting at home with his family and is expected to make a full recovery." Rossington's daughter Mary Elizabeth broke the news of her father's condition in a post on the Ronnie Van Zant Facebook fan page. She said: ?They went in to repair and unclog the two stents they did previously in the year which had a blood clot, added a third stent to one vein and in two weeks we will need to go in to do a fourth stent in one of his bypassed veins from 12 years ago. We were very close to losing him this time and just pray that they will develop even better techniques soon to deal with heart disease." Skynyrd are next scheduled to appear live at the Alabama National Fair in Montgomery on November 7. They released live package One More For The Fans in July.

Bruce Dickinson Memoirs Due In 2017 HarperNonFiction and Dey Street have just announced that they will publish Bruce Dickinson?s memoirs in autumn 2017. His book will be a rock memoir like none other, taking in his thirty years with Maiden, his solo career, the weird and wonderful places and situations he?s found himself in, and his recent battle with cancer. Bruce says: ?It was flattering to be approached to write a book about my experiences and it seems an appropriate time to do this as I will have plenty of time on tour next year to work on a book. I am sure flying the 747 out round the World on tour will add to the tale with some unusual scenarios!? Source: http://www.ironmaiden.com

Universal Music will release a 12-inch vinyl of Queen?s classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' later this month. This 40th anniversary of the release was 31st October 2015, and this will be the first time the song has been available on 12-inch vinyl, although a similar twelve-inch is featured in the super deluxe edition of the A Night at the Odeon which is slated for release a week earlier. The key difference is that the B-side to this standalone twelve-inch is I?m In Love With My Car, whereas the record in the box set features a previously unreleased soundcheck of Now I?m Here on its flipside. The release date for the 12" version is Friday 27th November 2015, and can be pre-ordered from Amazon (UK) now.

Neil Peart reflects on 50 years of hitting things with sticks as he announces his retirement ...Lately Olivia has been introducing me to new friends at school as "my dad ? he's a retired drummer." True to say ? funny to hear... ...Now after fifty years of devotion to hitting things with sticks, I feel proud, grateful and satisfied. The reality is that my style of drumming is largely an athletic undertaking, and it does not pain me to realize that, like all athletes, there comes a time to ... take yourself out of the game. I would much rather set it aside than face the predicament described in our song "Losing It." (From 1982 it was performed live for the first time on our fortieth anniversary tour, R40, in 2015). In the song's two verses, an aging dancer and a writer face their diminishing, twilight talents with pain and despair, ("Sadder still to watch it die, that never to have known it.")

Rush bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee has shot down reports that the band's drummer, Neil Peart, has retired: Lee told U.K.'s Prog magazine: "There's really nothing to say. I think Neil is just explaining his reasons for not wanting to tour, with the toll that it's taking on his body. That's all I would care to comment on it. We'll get together eventually and chat about things. But in my view, there is certainly nothing surprising in what he said. Neil just feels that he has to explain with all the thousands of people asking, 'Why no more tours?' He needs to explain his side of it." Asked whether he feels Peart's quote was taken out of context, Lee said: "I think that's absolutely right. That's their job. Talking about something when there's nothing to talk about."
