GUNS AND ROSES - WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Steven Tyler had a small accident at his hotel in Paraguay, forcing Aerosmith to reschedule their Tuesday night concert in Asuncion to Wednesday evening. Reuters reports Tyler was taken briefly to a hospital in Paraguay's capital after falling in his hotel bathroom and injuring his face, the country's largest newspaper ABC said. The newspaper reported Tyler, 63, spent about three hours in the hospital for cuts near his eyebrow and mouth. The singer also lost two of his teeth, it said. Maybe its time Mr. Tyler started wearing full football gear all day long! --------------------BREAK---------------------- In less than a week, music fans will have their hands on the latest rock n roll autobiography, this one from original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley. "No Regrets: A Rock N' Roll Memoir," will be out November 1. Co-written by New York Times journalist Joe Layden, the book is being billed as "a funny, truthful, candid memoir about a hard-drinking, drug-addicted, music-loving guitar player who lived life as a rock star and survived to tell the tale." Publishers Simon & Schuster are offering Frehley fans a first look at some of the new book, as they are sharing an excerpt: Chapter 1 – entitled "A Bronx Tale. The preview is available here.
KISS - DOMINO It’s been a rough few years for Lit, but the SoCal rockers are ready to reignite their career with new music. “We never broke up or stopped playing, but we definitely had to take some personal time to deal with some stuff over the last few years,” says guitarist Jeremy Popoff in a new EPK. That personal stuff included the sudden death of both Jeremy and singer Ajay Popoff’s stepfather by a drunk driver, and the death of founding drummer Allen Shellenberger from brain cancer. “After he passed, we knew that we had to keep going,” says the guitarist. “It sounds cliché and cheesy to say ‘He would have wanted us to carry on,’ but he would have been really pissed if we hadn’t kept going what he had spent 20 years of his life invested in.” The group just finished recording their next album and should have release and title details shortly. ------------------------BREAK-------------------------- Metallica's first foray into film, 2004's 'Some Kind of Monster,' was, to put it kindly, an exercise in demystification. The then-troubled group invited documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky to watch as they trained with a "performance-enhancing coach" and attempted to work through their differences. For its next big-screen project -- a self-financed 3D movie that Deadline.com reports is in the works -- the long-running metal band will presumably aim for something a bit more badass. Metallica has enlisted producer Charlotte Huggins, the woman behind the 3D films 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' and 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,' to spearhead the production. The band is still looking for a director, and while there's no word yet on whether it will be a performance film, a la U2's 2008 3D feature, or something altogether different, we're guessing no one onscreen will utter the phrase "trust issues."
