Had a blast with Slash yesterday in the hardDriveRadio studios here in NYC! He's so awesome and so down to earth for one of the biggest rock stars on the planet. Signed our Nitemare B4 Xmas guitar (yeah!) and we did a video interview you'll be seeing soon. Plus the new album is great (Amazon.com has snippets) and he's stoked about getting out on the road to tour behind this record. So life is good with Slash! Be listening for the interview on upcoming editions of hardDrive and hardDrive XL with Lou Brutus…..You'll be able to find Soundgarden's first new song in 16 years “Live to Rise” on the forthcoming soundtrack to “The Avengers,” the next superhero movie opening May 4th.

Former Korn drummer David Silveria was busted on Sunday in Huntington Beach, CA (where he lives and owns a sports bar) for drunk driving and drug possession.
