(Hed) P.E. - w/ Crazy Town, Adema, and FLAW “Nu Metal Madness” July 06 in Denver through July 30 in Reedley, CA.

The Grammys
Left out SO MANY icons of the heavy world. Further evidence to their irrelevance.

Danny Elfman
Wes Borland will be the guitar player for Elfman’s Coachella performances. Josh Freese will be playing drums, Stu Brooks bass, and Nili Brosh will join Wes on guitar duties. Robin Finck was originally scheduled for the gigs, but had NIN commitments that got in the way.
