Black Sabbath pledge to carry on without drummer Bill Ward
By Andy Greene
Rolling Stone
Black Sabbath have responded to drummer Bill Ward's open letter pledging to leave the band unless he is presented with a "signable contract." In a statement on Facebook, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler indicated that they will carry on with their new album and reunion tour without him. "We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath plans," they wrote. "We have no choice but to continue recording without him although our door is always open. ... We are still in the UK with Tony. Writing and recording the new album and on a roll... See you at Download!!!"
Just like the 78' tour.....well not so much, but news on both bands!
VAN HALEN: Ramp It Up in L.A.
Just less than four weeks after they played an intimate invitation-only club show at New York's Cafe Wha, Van Halen took to the stage at Henson Studios in their hometown of Los Angeles last night. And while the idea was similar, everything about it was just a bit bigger.
The stage was more like the one they'll use on their upcoming arena tour, with runways extending from the stage that ran along opposite walls of the rectangular room.
As the band went into their opener, "You Really Got Me," David Lee Roth said, "We've been dusting off the set for the last few months and tonight we're gonna dust off the barbecue." There was no barbecue, but the set-list added the first performances of "Tattoo" and "The Trouble With Never" from A Different Kind of Truth, which hits stores Tuesday. They also pulled out a new chestnut, "Unchained," in place of "Somebody Get Me a Doctor."
And though they also closed the show with "Jump," it was on a grander scale, with the band being joined by a troupe of Brazilian Carnival drummers and female dancers, who lined both runways, while confetti streamed from the rafters.
Van Halen's tour starts February 18th in Louisville, Kentucky.-
BLACK SABBATH: Hometown Honor?
Black Sabbath's hometown of Birmingham, England may soon establish a day in the band's honor. A report by Destination Birmingham is urging the town council to acknowledge their reunion and participation in the nearby Download Festival, saying it's "an opportunity we should not miss." Councilman Philip Parkin says celebrating the reunion would not only celebrate Birmingham's musical heritage but also inspire emerging bands.
The original Sabbath members are in Birmingham recording their first studio album in 33 years as guitarist Tony Iommi undergoes cancer treatment there. Iommi is the only member of the band who still lives in Birmingham. --
On a side note....I've been listening to the new Van Halen album (can't air it yet) and there are MANY and I mean MANY songs that are waaaaaayyyy better than "Tattoo"!
For those who somehow don't know the deets on the show.....

Mastodon have been one of my fav bands since I first saw them open for Suplecs and High On Fire nearly 10 years ago. To see them evolve is a pretty cool thing. They've announced an upcoming headlining tour featuring Opeth and GHOST! Sick tour right? Here is the video for "Bone Dry Valley".....mushrooms optional!
Call it cheesy I don't care, I'm a big fan of doing things to keep yourself happy! If this lady believes Metallica can chase your blues away.....What band improves your mood?
METALLICA Will Shred Your Blues, Columbia Professor
According to DNAinfo.com, a psychiatrist reveals in her new book, "Your Playlist Can Change Your Life: 10 Proven Ways Your Favorite Music Can Revolutionize Your Health, Memory, Organization, Alertness and More", how listening to songs with a certain number of beats per minute can trigger specific mental states, such as productivity and relaxation.
"It's [about] how music affects you — how it can improve your memory, how it can relieve anxiety, enhance your mood, how we can use playlists for specific tasks," Galina Mindlin, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and supervising attending physician in the department of Psychiatry at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center, said. "Using music with certain frequencies, you really can create the desired state of mind."
Mindlin says music can help listeners accomplish tasks throughout the day. Listeners can put on one playlist to get revved up for a super-charged day at work, then use other playlists when they need to focus on a specific project, get the most out of their workout, or calm themselves before bed.
METALLICA, for example. can chase the blues away, she said.
