Type O Negative to Headline Peavey-Sponsored

Spring 2008 Jägermeister Music Tour

April 9, 2008, PEAVEY INT’L. HEADQUARTERS — Metal legends and longtime

Peavey endorsers Type O Negative will co-headline the spring 2008

Jägermeister Music Tour with Hatebreed beginning May 16. At each show, one

lucky fan will win a Peavey Rage® guitar amplifier customized by Peavey

with a special Jägermeister artwork design.

“Headlining this tour has been a long-time goal of ours,” said Type O

Negative frontman and bassist Peter Steele, who will crank his Peavey Tour™

Series bass amplifiers on the two-month trek. “It’s an even greater

accomplishment to have a co-headlining band like Hatebreed along for the

ride with us.”

Type O Negative is touring behind its latest release, Dead Again, its

seventh album of dark, brooding goth metal. Peavey endorsers Slipknot,

Chimaira, Arch Enemy and Stone Sour have appeared on past tours, and Peavey

has sponsored the semi-annual Jägermeister Music Tour since its spring 2003

outing.

Peavey is also a major sponsor of the traveling Jägermeister Mobile Stage,

a 207,000-watt, fully self-contained stage housed in a 44-foot trailer. The

stage, which features a Peavey Versarray™ line-array sound system, QW®

Series monitors and Peavey VSX® loudspeaker management systems, as well as

a full Peavey guitar and bass amplifier backline, will hit the road on the

Rockstar® Mayhem tour in summer 2008.

Founded in 1965, Peavey® is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of

musical instruments and professional sound equipment. Peavey holds more

than 130 patents and produces more than 2,000 products, which are

distributed throughout the United States and to 136 other countries. Peavey

and its MediaMatrix®, Architectural Acoustics®, PVDJ®, Crest Audio® and

Trace Elliot® brands and affiliates can be found on concert stages and in

more than 3,000 airports, stadiums, theme parks and other venues around the

world. To find out more, visit www.peavey.com.

Avenged Sevenfold have been busy touring on the 4th Annual Rockstar Taste of Chaos since February, and next week they’ll be returning home for a tour stop in Huntington Beach, California.
The band has announced that it will record the entire show for a live DVD that Warner Bros. Records will release later this year. The DVD will be directed by Core Entertainment’s Rafa Alcantra, who also worked on the band’s 2007 road documentary All Excess. The DVD package will also include a CD of seven previously unreleased b-sides that were recorded during the making of the band’s current self-produced album, Avenged Sevenfold.
"We wanted to scheme up something big for our hometown crowd because we have the best fans in the world," says lead singer M. Shadows. "We’ll be bringing it harder than we have for any stop on this tour. We’re ready to blow the roof off!"

t looks like Velvet Revolver was going behind Scott Weiland’s back in a bit of rock’n'roll infidelity long before it fired him.

Although tensions were publicly simmering for a while before the rest of Velvet Revolver had enough and unceremoniously gave its singer the boot last week, it wasn’t a rash decision. In fact, the act had already started auditioning new singers to replace Weiland before it embarked on its latest tour, guitarist Slash told Rolling Stone.

The Velvet Revolver guitarist didn’t name the mystery man who auditioned for Weiland’s spot weeks ago, but he said the act will probably test out a few more singers before making its final announcement.

PAST LIVE CBK REVIEWS
“There’s a simple reason that Comeback Kid are headlining this tour: They fucking kill.  From sweaty start to bloody finish, they deliver every song with merciless intensity and unflagging energy…  The crowd goes apeshit, even scaling the ornate support pillars and literally hanging from the rafters as bodies fly from the stage.  Climaxing with a devastating Wake the Dead, it’s the perfect full-stop to an overpowering set and a night of visceral thrills.”

“The show was full speed from start to finish. Hot, fast and violent. They played to a packed house at the Kathedral with the whole crowd singing every word to every song. Amazing! …Make sure you see Comeback Kid live, and bring some defensive gear when you do.”

- BlogTo.com
“Comeback Kid  is notorious for their high-energy hardcore.  Neufeld’s vocals filled the Palladium Ballroom, with a constant stream of noise and attitude. As a band capable of headlining their own tour, Comeback Kid works well to bridge the gap between hardcore for teenagers up through your twenty-somethings.”
Live in Dallas, TX
- Pegasus News
Favorites like "Wake the Dead," "Die Tonight" and "Never Fade" seemed flawless, and highly energetic. The crowd’s participation was also in full throttle, with plenty of shout-alongs, stage-dives and pile-ons to provide for one great performance.

The recently wrapped, seventh annual 2008 Take Action! Tour came to a fiery culmination after two months and 34 shows, with one last hurrah in New York City on March 23, 2008. The tour, whose mission is to create a better world, one voice and one action at a time, continues to inspire and make change in a proactive manner.

The Impact of the 2008 Take Action! Tour:

• Over $75,000 raised for Do Something which helps young people make a positive difference in the world - based on 10% of ticket revenue and additional tour related fundraising
• Over 27,000 fans in 34 cities proved that the world can be made a better place one voice at a time
• Nearly 7,000 copies of the Take Action Volume 7 Compilation already sold
• Take Action Grants, empowered by the Hot Topic Foundation, MySpace Impact and Hopeless/Sub City Records, were awarded to 9 amazing young people who want to make change in their communities

“Working with the Take Action Tour was awesome. Not only did we raise money to fund amazing young change-makers, but we also brought the message of Do Something to thousands of young people across the US,” says Do Something CMO, Aria Finger

Headlining band Every Time I Die, along with From First To Last, The Bled, August Burns Red, and The Human Abstract, united fans across the U.S. and Canada in support of Do Something, an organization that issues grant-money youths to make change around the causes they are passionate about.

Based on 10% of all 2008 Take Action! Tour ticket sales and additional tour related fundraising, Hopeless & Sub City Records will donate over $75,000 to Do Something. In addition, 5% of the retail price for each Take Action! Volume 7 Compilation CD sold, as well as revenue from merchandise initiatives, will also be donated.

Hopeless/ Sub City would like to thank all the bands and labels involved this year that brought the message directly to fans that each one of us can take action and make the world a better place. Thank you as well to Jamie Kelsall and everyone at APA for again booking an amazing tour, and thank you to Mike Cubillos and Jose Martinez at Earshot Media for their help in promoting this great cause.

Man. This stupid bull named One Eye

Rex Features

Rock band Good Charlotte survived an attack from an angry buffalo in Cape Town, MTV reports.
The group were filming a documentary for the music channel in South Africa when the buffalo, named "One Eye", charged twice at their safari vehicle.
The ordeal was captured on camera and will air on MTV’s Diary of Good Charlotte next month.
After the safari jeep accelerated away, Benji Madden said: "That was pretty dope though, you gotta admit, that was pretty dope!"
His twin brother Joel added: "I want to get a copy of that for my home video!"

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a92938/good-charlotte-survive-buffalo-attack.html

Sooooo funnnnyyyyy!!!

She tripped as she went through the door with her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.

    Benji, who had no idea of what was going on, almost stepped over the socialite.

    When he realized what had happened, Benji helped Paris up and asked the paparazzi to leave so he could take care of her.

    As they left the store, Paris was overhead moaning to Benji: "Prague, never again!"

    The following day, the 27-year-old "Simple Life" star was seen a large bruise on her chin as she left the Good Charlotte concert at the city’s Congress Center.

Yo Paris! I hope you read this! You are a twat! Your rich grandpa does not approve either!
