Yours truly has done it. Never knew our knees can have something called a Baker cyst. Well, I have one that burst and I can’t walk on my left leg. My right leg is also messed up as I have been going to physical therapy for my right knee. So this makes me an invalid. REALLY sucks! Anyhow, on to the news from my bedroom! LOL Pulse Of Radio reports Stone Sour has revealed the details of its long-talked about covers project, Meanwhile In Burbank…, which will now be released as a Record Store Day exclusive. The five-song EP will feature covers of songs from legendary heavy rock acts Black Sabbath, Metallica, Kiss, Judas Priest and Alice In Chains. Recorded live at Room 237 in Burbank, California, the EP will be available on vinyl exclusively at select record stores on April 18th. Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand said, “The idea was not to shy away from a song because it was popular or pick a band that most people might not have heard, but to pick ones that truly meant something to one of us at some point in our life.” Stone Sour released a cover of the Metal Church song “The Dark” last month as part of the soundtrack to the movie Fear Clinic, in which Taylor has a role. Taylor is currently on tour with Slipknot in support of its latest album, .5: The Gray Chapter. Stone Sour’s last full album, House Of Gold And Bones, Part 2, arrived in 2013. The track list for Meanwhile In Burbank… is: “We Die Young” (Alice In Chains), “Heading Out To The Highway” (Judas Priest), “Love Gun” (Kiss), “Creeping Death” (Metallica), “Children Of The Grave” (Black Sabbath). Nice!…..30 Seconds To Mars’ Jared Leto was forced to change up his look for his role in the upcoming film, Suicide Squad. The Oscar-winner shaved off his beard and cut his long locks to play The Joker. He shared photos of the process on Instagram and wrote on one, “I miss my beard already.” Suicide Squad will hit theaters next year…Blabbermouth reports Metallica will celebrate this year’s “Record Store Day” with the release of an exact duplication of the band’s 1982 demo tape “No Life ‘Til Leather” as a limited-edition cassette on April 18. The artwork was made from Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich‘s own copy and will feature his handwriting. The band said in a statement: “In 1982 we recorded seven songs that became our initial calling card known as ‘No Life ‘Til Leather’, and it led us to our first record deal. Tthe rest, as you some of you may know, is history! On Record Store Day, April 18th that demo tape will be available as a limited-edition cassette (yes, cassette!!) at your favorite neighborhood record store and Metallica.com. We’ve been digging through the archives, gone to the original source material and re-mastered it to maximize the sound potential for 2015 without altering the original mixes in any way. “Recorded with the first line-up of the band that appeared live as Metallica, ‘No Life ‘Til Leather’ has never been commercially available until now. Look for expanded versions coming on CD, vinyl and a collector’s set sometime this summer. We hope you enjoy this little walk down memory lane with us and that you will continue to join us in supporting independent record stores around the world. Visit RecordStoreDay.com for a list of independent retail stores taking part in Record Store Day.”…Halestorm has posted a new video for the new tune “Amen” from the forthcoming Into The Wild Life cd.
