In February heavy metal engines started to run faster. Bad luck in Slayer crew, Lemmy’s engaged in charity and Ozzy’s commercial with Justin Bieber were some of the most important facts. Check it out the February overview in opinion of Heavy Camerata crew:
SLAYER IN BAD LUCK
Bad news for Slayer fans during its appearance in Sidney: after replacement of guitarist Jeff Hanneman, it was Tom Araya’s turn to get back to the hospital after his back surgery canceling another Slayer concert. Tom Araya underwent back surgery in early 2010 which forced the band off the road for a period of several months. After being said in specialized midia that he had now an ear infection, his wife came up to inform that the information is not true.
SLAYER is on the road without Jeff Hanneman, who underwent emergency surgery on his right arm late last month after contracting a serious infection, possibly caused by a spider bite. He is now recuperating at home and he will return to the SLAYER lineup as soon as he has fully recovered. Hanneman was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, an infection caused by bacteria which can destroy skin, fat, and the tissue covering the muscles. The disease sometimes is called "flesh-eating" bacteria. His temporary replacement is Gary Holt from EXODUS.
Better-quality fan-filmed footage of the Brisbane performance can be viewed below.
MANOWAR’S NEW ALBUM
MANOWAR is scheduled to return to the studio in April to resume work on its long-awaited new album, "Hammer Of The Gods", according to its official web site.
Donnie Hamzikis officially back in the band and according to Joey DeMaio this changed everything for them. "Hammer Of The Gods" was previously described as the first installment of "The Asgard Saga", the band's unique multimedia fantasy adventure with best-selling author Wolfgang Hohlbein.
Other sources informed that in addition to performing MANOWAR classics, the band will play its debut album, 1982's "Battle Hymns", in its entirety in its recent tour.
OZZY’S FACTS - SEPULTURA TO OPEN BRAZILIAN SHOW AND COMMERCIAL WITH JUSTIN BIEBER
Brazilian band SEPULTURA will support OZZY OSBOURNE for two shows in April
Apr. 02 - São Paulo, Brazil - Anhembi
Apr. 05 - Brasilia, Brazil - Ginasio Nilson Nelson
SEPULTURA performed its classic 1991 album, "Arise", in its entirety during the group's headlining performance at the 16-year anniversary of the Manifesto Bar in São Paulo, Brazil on December 11, 2010.
Roy Z. (JUDAS PRIEST, HALFORD, BRUCE DICKINSON, HELLOWEEN) is going to produce the SEPULTURA’s next CD, forecasted to May via Nuclear Blast Records.
COMMERCIAL
A commercial featuring the Mad Man Ozzy Osbourne and teenager singer Justin Bieber was shot in January and shown for the first time during the third quarter of the Super Bowl. Best Buy ran an ad featuring Ozzy Osbourne trying to film a commercial, getting confused by technology and being replaced by Justin Bieber.
Best Buy will re-air the Ozzy Osbourne and Justin Bieber commercial during the 83rd annual Academy Awards with an alternate ending chosen by Facebook voters.
One insider estimates that Bieber made at least $1 million for the ad.
LEMMY KILMISTER - CHARITY AND MOVIE
Emergency Haiti 2010 charity single put together MOTÖRHEAD's Lemmy Kilmister, bassist Rudy Sarzo (OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT, WHITESNAKE, DIO, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT), veteran British female hard rockers GIRLSCHOOL and 25 young musicians from Cornwall's live youth music project Livewire, to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.
The project which includes the cover of the 1980 GIRLSCHOOL classic "Emergency" is also dedicated to late GIRLSCHOOL guitarist Kelly Johnson and legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (BLACK SABBATH, DIO, HEAVEN & HELL,RAINBOW, ELF).
Kelly Johnson passed away on July 15, 2007 after a six-year battle with cancer of the spine.
Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer on the morning of May 16, 2010 at the age of 67.
He was renowned throughout the world as one of the greatest and most influential vocalists in heavy metal history.
MOVIE
The long-awaited documentary of life and career of Lemmy was released in US in Feb, 2011. "Lemmy" will be released on DVD by Entertainment One on January 24, 2011. Directors/producers Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski spent three years following Kilmister around the globe — which must have been an awesome experience.
"Lemmy" features appearances by influent personalities as METALLICA, Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, Billy Bob Thornton and pro wrestler Triple H.
2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the birth of MOTÖRHEAD, which features Kilmister, guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee.
The official trailer for "Lemmy" can be seen below
GARRY MOORE’S DEATH
Legendary Thin Lizzy’s guitarist Gary Moore died in his sleep yesterday morning, hours after checking into the five-star Kempinski Hotel in Estepona on the Costa del Sol, Spain with an unnamed female friend. He was 58 years old.
As long as a postmortem analysis revealed suspect of heart attack, forensic experts requested further tests on tissue samples taken from his body ahead of a final report.
A Spanish police spokesman said, "Mr. Moore died of natural causes and his death is not in any way suspicious. An investigating magistrate has opened a standard inquiry to determine the exact cause of death."
A British tabloid reported apparently erroneously that Moore choked on his vomit after knocking back champagne and brandy before being discovered around 4 a.m.
