Killing it since he was 8, Ilan replaces Josh Freese for NIN’s 2009 tour. The Lostprophets drummer is 20 years old and played Woodstock in ‘99 when he was only 11. Wow. Go here to see what he’s in for. It’s intense. (scroll to the bottom of the page and play the video). Or watch Ilan light it up below.

Perhaps his hedge fund isn’t pulling it in for him these days or he just wanted to wash over the bad press surrounding the mixing of Metallica’s last record. Whatever the case, Lars parted ways with his Jean-Michel Basquiat’s 1982 painting, “Untitled (The Boxer)” this week for $13.5 million. Tough times for Lars.

Dave Grohl sits behind the kit contributing his chops to Invaders Must Die, due in March, on a track entitled Run With the Wolves. According to Liam Howlett of Prodigy it is the most, “venemous” track on the record. Dave Grohl spits venom? Nice.

Man Raze is a little bit Def Leppard viaPhil Collen and a little Sex Pistols via Paul Cook. These two got together and created what is billed as, “…a unique clash of 70’s simplicity with 80’s excess”. VH1 Classic is all over it, filming a private show in L.A. which will drop on VH1classics.com later in the year. We honestly don’t know what to think about this. Listen for yourself.

The word from NME is Adam Ficek of Babyshambles (that band w/ Pete Doherty) will release a Christmas single called “Horses” under his solo moniker Roses, Kings, Castles. Is this news worthy? Perhaps by association but all the same it doesn’t hurt to mention it.
