Megadeth founder, Dave Mustaine, has announced the return of original bassist Dave Ellefson. He will be re-joining Megadeth in time for their month-long Rust in Peace 20th anniversary tour which begins on March 1 in Spokane, WA.
"This shows the power of brotherly love and forgiveness,” Mustaine says. “David Ellefson belongs in Megadeth. Next we are going to show you the power of getting your asses kicked...HARD!"
David Ellefson concurs: "This is a huge moment for all of us, band and fans alike. It is a great celebration of the music from one of the biggest landmark albums of our career."
Ellefson will also join the band in support of the group’s current CD Endgame, which has received some of the highest critical accolades of the band’s career.
"We'd like to thank James LoMenzo for several years of loyal service on the bass, and wish him the very best," Mustaine adds.

Well as it seems, "hope I die before I get old" IS just a dumb phrase after all.
To please fans of all ages, The Who (or what is left of them) will be performing what Pete Townshend is referring to as a"CSI mash up" for tomorrows Super Bowl Halftime Show. What is a "CSI mash up," you ask? Well, not really. You don't give a damn. But I will tell you, anyway.
It's essentially what these old geezers do for events like this. Pull out Won't get Fooled Again, Baba 'O Riley, Who Are You, and a couple songs from the 1969 rock opera Tommy. The CSI connection? Well, millions of Americans hear these songs every week as the lead in for their favorite TV shows! So, as you can tell, the over 40 TV watching demographic is going to be stoked!
The Who are my favorite band. And yes, this is an editorial. Anyway, they are my favorite band ever. If you know rock history, you know The Who. They are in their 60's, singer Roger Da ...more

At first we weren't too concerned about it and thought it would pass, as these things usually do, but the longer it went on the more worried we all got so he went to see the doctor.

Danish math rock trio Marvins Revolt have decided to go on indefinite hiatus after ten years together, citing a loss of passion as the main cause.
The band wrote, via MySpace: "After almost a decade of making music together as Marvins Revolt, we have decided to put the band to sleep for an unknown period of time.
"This decision was made collectively as everything else we’ve ever done. Even though we’ve enjoyed almost every minute of this great adventure, we’ve come to a place where the thrills and kicks that used to make it all worthwhile, aren’t strong enough any longer. We simply don’t have the passion for creating music together as Marvins Revolt any longer, the same goes for recording, touring and all the other stuff associated with the band. So the only right thing for us to do now is this.
"We don’t know if we’ll ever join forces again musicwise as Marvins Revolt, but as for now, Marvins Revolt is no longer active.

Wentz also stated that Fall Out Boy may continue with out him: "I don't know the future of Fall Out Boy. It's embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. As far as I know Fall Out Boy is on break (no one wants to say the 'H' word.)
"As much as I don't have a solo project, I also can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again, not due to personal relationships as much as (that as) a band we grew apart."
Wentz being Wentz, he is likely to reverse this decis ...more
