Here’s a fun fact! Last week, I posted the album cover for the new Seether greatest hits album, Seether 2002-2013. It’s available Oct 29th. That sweet French Bulldog on the cover is none other than Shaun Morgan‘s brindle frenchie Chubbs! I met Chubbs when Shaun and his girlfriend had the pup on the road with them in NYC last year. So cute! But is it wrong to have your pet on the cover of your album taking a poo? LOL Obviously not…..Five Finger Death Punch have posted their new video for the single “Battleborn.” You can now watch it yourself!…All That Remains have done something no one ever thought possible! They’ve released a BALLAD! And frankly, I think it will be their biggest song to date! Check out “What If I Was Nothing,” off their great A War You Can Not Win album! Find them on tour now with Volbeat on Rock Allegiance…..Hugo Ferreira of Tantric is dropping by the hardDrive studios today, and tomorrow Eve To Adam….Korn Knuts! I will be interviewing the band next week in Philly, so what questions would you like me to ask the boys? Send them along to me via the email link on the home page…..October is going to be one of the biggest months for rock album releases, yo! Beginning Oct 1th with the release of a massive Roadrunner Records 30th Anniversary set, followed on the 8th by new albums from Korn and Alter Bridge, then there’s new releases coming from Trivium, Halestorm, Pearl Jam, Motorhead, Monster Magnet and AFI, just to name a few! No wonder they call it ROCKTOBER!…..And lastly today, I am very sad to report news I saw yesterday. Lisa and Jack Osbourne lost their son due to pregnancy complications in Lisa’s last trimester. The couple were expecting later this year. SO incredibly hard to comprehend how tor why something like this happens. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and their daughter Pearl and the rest of the Osbourne family.
