Def Leppard pripravljajo material za nov studijski album, za pomoč pa so poprosili Andreasa Carlssona in Pera Aledheima, ki sta pisala komade za bande kot NSYNC in Backstreet Boys! /M.P./

Gene Simmons (KISS) bo še letos izdal prvo številko revije Gene Simmons' Tongue, ki bo mešanica revij Playboy, Rolling Stone in Maxim. /M.P./

Tesla bodo izdali koncertni album, fani pa imajo priložnost izbrati komade, ki bi jih radi slišali na njem. 13 komadov lahko izberete med sledečimi: Cumin' Atcha Live, EZ Come EZ Go, Hang Tough, Gettin' Better, The Way It Is, Song & Emotion, Changes, Signs, Little Suzi, Lazy Days, Crazy Nights, Call It What You Want, Freedom Slaves, Love Song, We're No Good Together, Heaven's Trail (No Way Out), Mama's Fool, Edison's Medicine, Modern Day Cowboy in What You Give. /M.P./

Jason Netherton, basist/vokalist Dying Fetus, je zapustil bend. Zamenjavi zanj sta Derek Boyer (bas) ter Vince Matthews (vokal). /M.P./

Medtem ko švedski thrasherji The Haunted v Evropi niso zelo poznani in popularni, pa v Južni Ameriki temu ni tako. Po nekem koncertu je na afterparty, kjer so člani benda dajali avtograme, prišlo 4000 vročekrvnih fanov, pred katerimi so se rešili šele s posredovanjem policije. Navdušeni pevec Marco Aro je izjavil, da se počuti, kot da so Backstreet Boys heavy metala. /M.P./
