| CHRIS BRODERICK Joins MEGADETH. |
|
|
|
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has officially confirmed that the band has parted ways with guitarist Glen Drover and replaced him with Chris Broderick (NEVERMORE, JAG PANZER).
"I've noticed [on the Internet] that people are pissed with me over the way things were handled with Glen quitting the group," says Mustaine, "but they're gonna be pissed even more when they hear how fierce we are with Chris! MEGADETH is playing at a new level."
In a November 2007 posting on the forum of MEGADETH's official fan club, MegaFanClub (accessible to members only), Mustaine stated about Drover, "sadly, Glen is having a really difficult time handling the demands of touring and we are finding that we are having to cut our European run down already, but that it is going to be one of the last long ones for some time."
Broderick will make his live debut with MEGADETH on February 4 in Finland, where the group — Mustaine, Broderick, drummer Shawn Drover and James Lomenzo on bass — is kicking off a long string of international dates which wrap March 14 in Bangalore, India.

| Tim Owens Replaced As Matt Barlow Rejoins With ICED EARTH. |
|
|
|
ICED EARTH mainman and guitarist Jon Schaffer has issued the following statement on the departure of singer Tim Owens and the return of Matt Barlow:
"It will be sometime before I'm going to be doing press due to the holidays and the fact that I'm still deep in the final writing process of ['Something Wicked' album] Part 2. I'm aware that the news of Matt coming back into to the band has taken many people by surprise so I'll try to explain the situation a little better.
"I do love Tim's voice and it is the kind of voice I hear when I write, and he's a really cool person. And I do not want an unnecessary war of words started because certain journalists like to create controversy to sell their magazines. I love Tim as a person, a friend and a musician, and I do not have negative feelings towards him at all. We would all appreciate it if the trash pedlars would respect the situation and keep their venomous speculations to themselves. An unlikely request I'm sure, but it would be nice. On the other side, Matt and I are brothers and there was a very deep and spiritual connection that came through in the music that we created and performed together over the years.
"ICED EARTH has always been about passion and honesty in the music — I'm talking about real, raw emotion. That's what has always made the relationship between the band and the fans a very special thing and it is the thing that made the chemistry that Matt and I had together so special.

| ANTHRAX Announce New Singer. |
|
|
|
LukeLord writes "Long running heavy metal band ANTHRAX have announced Dan Nelson as their new singer, replacing Joey Belladonna.
Nelson is a virtual unknown, having fronted several local bands in the Long Island/New York area in the past. Says drummer Charlie Benante, “Rob [Caggiano] called me and said, ‘I have a singer, you should check him out'. We gave him a shot, and he floored us.”
After a successful reunion tour with former singer Joey Belladonna in 2006, there were rumors of recording a new album with that lineup. However, talks fell through and the band was left, once again, without a singer. Enter Dan Nelson.
“I was actually looking for a band,” commented Nelson. “Long Island, NY is a pretty dead scene. I was in Unbroken, and through that I met Rob a couple years ago. I had gone through some stuff on a personal side where I took time off from the music. When I got back to the scene, I couldn’t find a band, so I contacted Rob through MySpace and offered my services. We sent music back and forth, got together, and jammed for 10 hours straight. After 10 hours, he said, ‘I think you’d be right for ANTHRAX.”
“There’s no place else I’d rather be right now”, Nelson said. “It’s a great vibe. I feel great, and I’m ready to go. It’s lit that much more of a fire under me. I’m getting to live the dream, and it feels amazing. I can’t wait for all these people who think Anthrax is done to be proven wrong. The nay-sayers are gonna be shut down, and the true blue fans are gonna be pleased.”
Guitarist Scott Ian commented on the new singer saying, “It feels great working with Dan. The first time we jammed, we ran through a bunch of old songs, songs from the John Bush/Joey Belladonna eras.
Right from the first second Dan started “Room For One More” we knew. We said, ‘Now that we’ve got that, let’s work his ass off.” Anthrax, featuring Nelson on vocals, guitarists Ian and Rob Caggiano, bassist Frankie Bello, and drummer Benante, is currently working on all-new material.
“We wrote these songs and they fucking kicked ass,” says Benante. “It was cathartic. We also want to take our time. This record will be under the microscope, more so than the others. We want to make sure it’s 100% perfect.”

| Jane Schuldiner Brought To Tears By An Aussie Fan. |
|
|
|
Jane Schuldiner, mother of late DEATH legend Chuck Schuldiner has issued this message to fans:
"Dear Fans, I have received emails telling me that it has been a long time since I have been in touch. Life has been hectic and I remain busy working. My computer is so slow I don't like to go onto the internet very much, so I'm going to get Roadrunner so I can be more motivated to get my emails and answer faster. Also, as much of you know, I have moved and rented a PO box for my mail until I settled into my new address, which I finally am. So you can now write to me at my home address, which I will give you at the end of this message.”
”I want to thank you all for your continued support, all the emails remembering Chuck and sharing memories with me. You really have enriched my life. One fan from Australia sent me an absolutely wonderful portrait of Chuck, painted on canvass. When I took the wrappings off it I was in tears, it was just like looking into Chuck's face. His sister and nephew felt the same. I have it in the living room on an antique easel where I can look at it everyday. This time of year I always dread, the holidays and another December 13th. I look forward to having the consolation of so many of you remembering that day with me and I am so thankful for that. It still seems so near, that time. Not long at all. Take care and I look forward to hearing from you.”
