Congrats to GnR guitarist DJ Ashba who proposed to his model/girlfriend Nathalia Henao last week. Ashba told his fans the exciting news by posting a photo of the couple holding hands, showcasing the engagement ring. What we didn't know THEN, was that Ashba had arranged a private dinner at Las Vegas Metropolitan Police headquarters before taking off on a private, helicopter tour of the city. Being a social media junkie, Ashba proceeded to post pictures of the helicoper ride to his Instagram account - complete with a "shoutout" to thank the LVMP. An internal investigation has been launched, and the LVMP will not speak of this "private police heli tour" until the investigation is though. Read more...

The Cult have announced that guitarist James Stevenson will be joining them on the band’s upcoming Electric 13 tour. Stevenson, who previously toured with The Cult in the mid-90s, is replacing Mike Dimkich, who has left the band to play with Bad Religion.The Electric 13 tour, which kicks off in San Diego on July 25, coincides with the release of the new 2-disc set, “Electric Peace”, on July 30.The collection pairs 1987’s “Electric” with the group’s abandoned "Peace" album, a project The Cult recorded as the follow-up to 1985’s “Love.” The band teamed with producer Steve Brown at The Manor studios in Oxfordshire and by the end of October 1986, the album was recorded and the masters assembled; however, the group weren't happy with the final results, which seemed too polished. The Cult then contacted producer Rick Rubin to remix the lead track "Love Removal Machine," and Rubin agreed, but only on condition that the track was entirely re-recorded. Thrilled with the results of the Rubin sessions, the band abandoned the original "Peace" recordings and re-recorded the entire album in New York with him, resulting in “Electric.” "We stared of rehearsals as a trio with me, Chris [Wyse, bass] and Johnny [Tempesta, drums] as we felt like we just wanted to get a bit of the rust off as we haven’t played together for a while,” says guitarist Billy Duffy."Obviously, 'Electric' is very ...
