This time a decade ago, South Africa wasn’t exactly known for turning out hard rock bands. Now, a decade later, Seether have become one of the most successful and steadily consistent hard rock bands going. It all started on Aug. 20, 2002, when the group issued their ‘Disclaimer’ album, and it set them on the path to where they are today.
Who said pigs can’t fly? It certainly wasn’t Green Day, as the Californian punk trio has teamed up with video game developer Rovio to create a new musical episode for the ubiquitous ‘Angry Birds Friends’ mobile game franchise. The ‘Angry Birds: Green Day Edition’ includes 10 never-before-seen themed levels and new “bad pig” characters inspired by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and his bandmates Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool.
Seether‘s first-ever Rise Above Fest is just a few weeks away and the band could use your help. The group is looking for a few enterprising fans to shoot a promo spot talking about teen suicide prevention.
There were a lot of people not exactly happy when it was revealed that the inaugural Mayhem Cruise, which was scheduled for later this year, was canceled, and that goes beyond just those who had made arrangements to attend.

The moment that many have been waiting for on the Carnival of Madness tour finally came to fruition Saturday night (Aug. 18) in El Paso, as Evanescence‘s Amy Lee and Halestorm‘s Lzzy Hale united their powerful voices together on one song.
Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine has received some serious backlash from the recent remarks he recently made onstage in Singapore suggesting that the Obama administration “staged” recent tragedies like the one in Aurora, Colo. and the massacre at the Sikh temple in Milwaukee, Wis., in order to promote stricter gun laws.
It may seem strange for a former member of Guns N’ Roses to hang out with Jack White, but Duff McKagan is a true fan. The bassist recently interviewed the indie icon for his column at Seattle Weekly, which he has been writing for several years, and the duo formed a mutual admiration society.
It looks as though the Black Keys will get their case heard in court. The group filed legal action earlier this year against both Pizza Hut and Home Depot, claiming that both companies had used their songs without permission in commercials.
Nickelback have just premiered their new video for ‘Trying Not To Love You’ that might surprise fans of the big ballad. Taking a very different approach to the yearning love song, the tune get’s a light-hearted make-over in the clip with a very special guest star.
