Fall Out Boy at Honda Center – September 20

The post-Scott Weiland era for the Stone Temple Pilots has begun, as the band has officially announced Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington as their new lead singer. Bennington debuted with the band in Los Angeles this past weekend. "Every band has it's own kind of vibe," Bennington said, "Stone Temple Pilots has this sexier, more classic rock feel to it. Linkin Park is a very modern, very tech-heavy type of band. I grew up listening to these guys. When this opportunity came up, it was just like a no-brainer. We couldn't really plan a tour until now because we couldn't let people know what was going on. Now the cat's out of the bag so we're going to go out and make more music and go play more shows and have some fun." Bennington appears on the new STP song "Out of Time," available online now.

Metallica fronter James Hetfield, in an interview with Billboard, says the band has enough raw material for an new album: "We got out into the room and jammed and we've come up with enough material for a record, for sure. We've gone through maybe one-tenth of the material that's on our riffs CDs." He added that the group hasn't been able to find the time to put it all together: "We've got enough for an album, we just haven't had enough time to really focus on it and dial in and start whittling it into these masterpieces, hopefully. I want it done yesterday." It's tough to blame the band for dragging their feet on the new LP as they've been busy with their Orion Music and More festival (June) and the release of their 3D movie, Metallica through the Never, due this fall. The band's last studio effort, Death Magnetic, hit back in 2008.
