    Deftones have teamed up with Belching Beaver once again to create a new horchata blonde ale. The 6.5% ABV beverage is named after the band’s song “Milk Of The Madonna” and California residents can pre-order it HERE. It will also be available in OR, ID, WA, NV, AZ, MN, NE, TX, CO, Mexico, and Aruba. The following was said about the new ale:

    “Brewed in collaboration with our friends Deftones, this Horchata Blonde Ale hits smooth like a favorite track on repeat. Creamy and mellow with notes of cinnamon and vanilla, it’s a flavor that warms in all the right places. Rich and rhythmic, each sip carries a subtle groove. Crafted to pair with late-night sessions, deep cuts, and the moments in between. Turn it up, pour it out, and let it play.”

  • Mötley Crüe Score Victory In Legal Dispute With Mick Mars

    According to Classic Rock, Mötley Crüe have emerged victorious amid their legal dispute with ex-guitarist Mick Mars. Independent arbitrator Patrick J. Walsh ruled that Mars gave up his right to touring revenue upon his departure. He will also have to pay over $750,000 in unrecouped tour advances.

    Mars initially sued the band after claiming that he was asked to sign a severance agreement, which would drop his 25% stake in the band’s business interests to 5% for their 2023 shows and to 0% for future tours. The offer was then upped to 7.5% for 2023 if the guitarist agreed to divest himself from the band and their businesses. He also accused his bandmates of using pre-recorded tracks.

    For their part, Mötley Crüe claimed the allegations were part of “a smear campaign.” The group also accused Mars’ representatives of “taking advantage of him” and commiting acts of “elder abuse.”

    Walsh said the following about his ruling:

    “Mars was given a $1,500,000 advance in exchange for his agreement to perform 138 shows. He understood when he received the advance that it was an advance and that he had to pay it back if he stopped touring. Mars stopped touring. Therefore, he must pay it back. Mars is ordered to pay to MCI the pro rata rate for the shows he missed between September 2021 and today. He is not required to pay for shows that have not taken place.”

    Mötley Crüe also confirmed that the allegations regarding pre-recorded tracks were false:

    “[Mars] was forced to admit under oath that his statements [regarding the use of backing tapes] were false. His expert confirmed that the band performed live, and Mars formally recanted his prior claims during sworn testimony.

    This dispute was about protecting the integrity and legacy of one of the most successful bands in rock history. With the arbitrator rejecting every claim and enforcing the parties’ agreements as written, the band has been fully vindicated – legally, financially, and factually.”

  • Sabaton Postpone North American Tour

    Sabaton have postponed their North American tour. The trek was delayed to give bassist Pär Sundström time to recover from “inflammation in his arms.”

    The band commented:

    “Dear friends in the USA and Canada,

    Unfortunately we have to postpone our North American tour.

    Pär is currently dealing with inflammation in his arms, and after seeking medical advice, he’s been told to rest for now so he can properly heal. Performing on stage means everything to us, but health must come first.

    We are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this causes. We’re already working hard to secure new dates.

    We were so excited to see you all, and that excitement hasn’t gone anywhere. We’re looking forward to the moment we can finally step on those stages!

    Thank you for your patience, your love and your constant support. It means the world to us!

    For now, please keep hold of your tickets. You will receive an e-mail notification from the official point of sale as soon as the status of the event changes or a new date is announced. Please note, the summer shows in Europe are not affected by this!

    We’ll be back soon, stronger than ever.

    Pär, Joakim, Hannes, Chris, Thobbe”

  • Paul Di’Anno (Ex-Iron Maiden) Documentary To Be Released This Summer

    Cleopatra Entertainment have announced a new documentary on the late Paul Di’Anno (ex-Iron Maiden). The film is titled “Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer” and it will be released this summer.

    The following was said about the documentary;

    “In a strikingly raw and intimate film, Wes Orshoski, co-director and producer of the acclaimed 2010 film “Lemmy” about the Motorhead icon, and 2015’s “The Damned: Don’t You Wish That We Were Dead”, about punk rock legends The Damned, captures the late singer riding an emotional rollercoaster toward the end of his life. Featuring appearances by James Hetfield (Metallica), Gene Simmons (KISS), Maiden’s Steve Harris and members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill and Sepultura, the film chronicles how two Iron Maiden fans encounter Di’Anno at the lowest point of his life and then set out to restore his health and relaunch his career.

    Wheelchair-bound since the mid-2010s, Di’Anno’s health nosedived during the COVID-19 pandemic, when those two fans launched a crowdfunding campaign which ultimately led to him relocating to Croatia, where – through the help of those fans and doctors – he made a dramatic turnaround while running out of money, reuniting with his former Maiden bandmates, and falling in love. Eventually he makes a heroic and drama-filled return to the stage. All of this is captured in “Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer”, which Orshoskibegan shooting in 2017.”

    Wes Orshoski also commented:

    “For years there wasn’t much to capture. Paul was waiting for surgeries that doctors in the U.K. would not green-light. He was in an incredibly dark place. But once he got to Croatia, fans and doctors gave him the hope he was desperately searching for. It was beautiful to witness. I wanted to make a film that was unlike any rock doc you’ve ever seen. And in the end, I think we got there.”

    The film will be screened at European film festivals before receiving a streaming and DVD and Blu-ray release. A trailer can be seen below:
