  • The Exploited’s Wattie Buchan Collapses Onstage In Germany

    The Exploited vocalist Wattie Buchan has been hospitalized after collapsing onstage during the band’s January 31 show at the Schlachthof in Wiesbaden, Germany. As such, the group’s immediate live dates have been cancelled.

    The band commented:

    “As Wattie collapsed yesterday during the show in Wiesbaden, Germany, we have to cancel the upcoming gigs in Tallinn and Riga. We [will] try to find new dates ASAP. Rostock and Bern we [will] announce as soon as we have more info.

    Wattie is in hospital right now for observation and check-ups. He had the flu the last days and gets dehydrated – that’s why he collapsed.

    Thanks and love to all the nice people who take and immediately gave first aid.

    We will keep you updated!”

    Members of the group commented:

    Vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine:

    “After 40 years of delivering Megadeth music, playing shows around the world, I have nothing but gratitude at this moment. Finding out that our last Megadeth record is also our first #1 only further validates my will to go out on top. Thank you to my family, Teemu Mantasaari, James LoMenzo, and Dirk Verbueren, and Chris Rakestraw, all our fans for making this possible, without you Megadeth would not be as successful as we are. I’d also like to thank the people behind the scenes, our management, Danny Nozell, Justis Mustaine, and Steve Ross at CTK, and our label BLKIIBLK/Tradecraft.”

    Guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari:

    “Absolutely amazing news! Thank you and congrats to our entire extended Megadeth family!”

    “I want to sincerely thank all our friends and fans who grabbed a copy, we’re over the moon!”

    Drummer Dirk Verbeuren:

    “It feels unbelievable to sit atop the charts with an album that’s uncompromisingly Megadeth. Huge thanks to all of you who support us- you made this happen! See you on tour!”

  • Sebastian Bach Wants To Record A Christmas Album

    During a recent interview with This Day In Metal, Sebastian Bach expressed interest in recording a Christmas album. He said the following about that:

    “At some point in my life, I need to do a Christmas record. I love Christmas music, and I know exactly the kind of Christmas record I would make. It’s not gonna be ‘Jingle Bells’ with electric guitars. It’s gonna be a traditional piano, organ-based record of vocals of songs that I did in the church when I was in Peterborough, Ontario at Anglican Church — All Saints, I think it was called. So that’s what I want. I need to do that at some point.”

  • Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) Reportedly Finishing Up The Vocals For His New Solo Album

    It looks like Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) is almost done with his upcoming solo album. According to Jeff Scott Soto (Sons Of Apollo, etc.), the frontman was recently finishing up vocals for the effort.

    Soto said the following:

    “How lucky am I? I went to say hello to my dear friend Mistheria who I worked with on his Vivaldi Metal Project and of course is part of Bruce Dickinson’s solo endeavors these days.

    Arrived at Dave Grohl’s studio right as Bruce was doing some final vocals to his new album. He finished and came out to chat/hang a little but then asked if I wanted to hear a few of the songs…umm, YEA!!

    I must say besides the fact that he is still singing at the top of his game, the songs, performances, and the overall vibe I got from all was beyond impressive, I think this outing will be one of his strongest ever outside of the Maiden camp.

    To add frosting on the cake, I got to try a prototype for a new Trooper beer, this one is a nice IPA which I’m normally not a fan of, but this was really good, it’s not out yet so I feel pretty lucky to have tried it before the rest of the world haha”
