Hinder just released their new album, Take it to the Limit. Produced by Brian Howes (Puddle of Mudd, Chris Cornell), the eleven song collection is packed with the kind of arena-ready guitar anthems that have the band constantly compared to bands like Def Leppard and M?tley Cr?e. The band recently released ?Without You? as a single and the power-ballad picks up where their 2006 breakthrough hit “Lips of an Angel” left off. The band?s debut album Extreme Behavior has gone on to sell over 3 million copies so anticipation is high for this one.
Take it to the Limit is streaming in its entirety over at the band?s MySpace page: myspace.com/hindermusic
Chris Cornell has just unveiled the official video for ?Ground Zero.? The clip includes scenes from the ABC crime-drama Life On Mars. The series also prominently featured the song in their October premiere episode. The song comes off Cornell?s upcoming Timbaland produced effort, Scream. The album will be hitting stores in early 2009.
Cornell has also been blogging on his official site as of late. So far, the entries have dealt with everything from a dream he had about Layne Staley to his touring preparation and set list choices. Check out all of the blog posts at chriscornell.com/blog/ to get a rare glimpse into the mind of the rock icon.
Guns N? Roses have just released a new widget which has a countdown to the November 23rd release date of their long-delayed Chinese Democracy album. The widget also features an audio stream of the title-track new single.

Saving Abel have just released a brand new video for their radio smash ?Addicted.? This is the third time the band filmed a clip for the track. The video was directed by Steven Oritt (Ours, Sugarcult) and shot in Los Angeles earlier this month.
The Mississippi hard-rock group?s self-titled debut album was produced by Skidd Mills who has also worked with bands like ZZ-Top, Saliva, and Skillet. Saving Abel will be heading out on tour with Avenged Sevenfold and Buckcherry starting November 4th in Casper, WY.
All of the dates can be found on the band?s MySpace page.
Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine dressed up as Scottish knight William Wallace from the movie ?Braveheart? ? it was originally played by Mel Gibson in the 1995 historical action-drama. The 29-year old singer hosted a private Halloween party which was sponsored by EFFEN Vodka last Friday night at his home for close family and friends in the Hollywood Hills from 9PM to 2AM. At the party, Kirsten Dunst who was dressed as Amelia Earhart was seen chatting it up with Adrian Grenier who was dressed as Oliver Twist. Former ?OC? star Mishca Barton was also seen regularly struggling and adjusting her huge cardboard Christmas tree cut-out costume with glowing green lights draped around her entire body.

The self-proclaimed greatest rapper alive, Lil Wayne, became audience-proclaimed most bullshit rapper alive when he stood up 8,000 fans at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York recently. After he found the sound system not up to his standards, the rapper excused himself from teh show along with co-headliner Piles. What a diva! Fans were promised a refund though. Fellow rapper Ludacris came to the show?s rescue as best he could despite the bad sound system. His set was reportedly smooth and professional proving that someone who isn?t the world?s greatest can overcome less than stellar equipment. And by the way, Eminem was proclaimed the world?s greatest rapper alive.
The prototype of the Jonas Brothers, the Hanson Brothers, walked barefoot through Times Square in New York City recently for their ?Take the Walk? tour. I wonder if 27-year old Isaac, 25-year old Taylor and 22-year old Zac were aware of how many germs there are on the ground. Anyway, while working on their 2007 album ?The Walk?, the singing trio made trips to Africa in an effort to understand the poverty and disease that grips the continent. That?s where the ?Take the Walk? tour comes in as a charity that brings attention to the poverty and AIDS epidemic in Africa through simple actions from individuals everywhere.
