Neil Sanderson– The Three Days Grace drummer is 32.
THREE DAYS GRACE - RIOT
OZZY - SWEET LEAF
Ozzy Osbourne finally gets his driver's license at the age of 62, buys a Ferrari, has his first minor fender-bender, and is now too scared to drive. WENN reports that Ozzy only recently passed his driving test and immediately headed to a car dealership to purchase the luxury sports vehicle, but he was left with a bruised ego this week after becoming involved in a minor collision while out and about in Los Angeles on Monday. His wife Sharon reveals Osbourne had lost his way when he shunted his Ferrari and he was sent into a panic when he discovered the other motorist was a lawyer. And the unidentified driver was so formal when taking down Osbourne's insurance details, the rocker likened his behaviour to fictional defense attorney Perry Mason. Ozzy has refused to drive since his little adventure.
SLIPKNOT / STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor has posted a video message on his Official YouTube Channel announcing that he will swim with sharks if fans get him to the number 1 spot in the UK this weekend with his charity Christmas track 'X-M@$'. With the video for the track (see below) racking up combined YouTube plays of over 400,000, the single being available at digital retailers everywhere, and now Corey’s pledge, the next couple of days hopes to see fans rallying to the cause - which incidentally is the Teenage Cancer Trust. Of course an added bonus would be keeping X-Factor winner MATT CARDLE off the number one spot.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - RENEGADES OF FUNK
Rage Against the Machine may be headed to the studio, according to a translation of an interview with vocalist Zack de la Rocha by La Tercera. A translation of the interview by gunshyassassin.com quotes de la Rocha as saying the band is older and more mature. "We are working on a new album due out next year, perhaps for the northern hemisphere summer," he said. The band reformed for some festival performances in 2007 and have played sporadic shows since, but have not been eager to rush into the studio. In fact, since the first round of Rage reunion shows, guitarist Tom Morello has released an album with Street Sweeper Social Club, collaborated with Steve Earle and Cyprus Hill, and made a surprisingly shreddy guest appearance with Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison’s band Fistful of Mercy on Conan.
