Pearl Jam have been revealed as one of the headliners for this summer's Lollapalooza in Chicago. The Chicago Sun-Times' Jim DeRogatis announced the band's involvement today, but noted that organizers will not be officially unveiling the lineup until late March or early April. He also notes that PJ's appearance will be part of a yet-to-be-announced summer tour from the band.
Pearl Jam already have set a European trek for June.
All 21 of Metallica's videos are now available on iTunes, as well as the extras from their recent DVD release, The Videos 1989-2004. The extras include the trailer for the Some Kind of Monster documentary, the theatrical version of the clip for "The Unforgiven," and the 1989 VHS release 2 of One.
Fans can download the whole package or purchase the videos individually. Tool is setting the record straight about drummer Danny Carey's torn bicep, and the band's Web site basically says that Carey picked up his dog, a boxer, "in a most awkward way," resulting in the injury. "Lots of you have been asking just how Danny tore his [right] bicep.
Some thought the injury occurred while he was playing basketball, with others wondering if he damaged it out on the golf course, or, worse still, in a motorcycle accident," reads the site. "Well, the truth of the matter is that he tangled with the wrong boxer. Although the guy in question is pretty old now (at least, he's not in his prime as boxers go), he obviously got the best of Danny when this all went down a couple of weeks ago.
" Carey had surgery on the bicep on February 21, and now Yahoo's Launch reports that doctors will examine him this week to determine how much time he'll need to recuperate. Once Carey has recovered, Tool plans to keep touring through June of 2008. The group is still scheduled to perform at the Bonnaroo Music Arts Festival, held from June 14 to 17 in Manchester, TN.
