Today’s Rock News [POLL]

In Today's Rock News: Judas Priest lost a band member and The Foo Fighters chose to play in a garage?  And a new poll to go with it!

First up is Judas Priest:  Yes, they've lost a band member, but don't worry he didn't die or anything.

In a shock announcement Judas Priest have announced the retirement of original guitarist KK Downing just weeks ahead of their farewell "Epitaph Tour" which kicks off in Tilburg, Holland on June 3

Bummer!  So what about the tour?

“Fate has also stepped in and delivered the perfect replacement – 31 year old British guitar player Richie Faulkner – he has blended perfectly into the band and is a great talent who is going to help set the stage on fire.

Game On!

Some of you experienced seeing kick ass bands, that later blow up and are HUGE!  How sweet would that be?  Well, the Foo Fighters are certainly HUGE and they did just that, on purpose!

Yes, instead of playing to sold out auditoriums, instead they played a sold out garage.  They played a full set! 

The idea of organizing a North American tour exclusively inside the garages of eight die-hard fans kept to the theme of the Foos' latest album, Wasting Light, which the band recorded in frontman Dave Grohl's garage.

Check out the video here.

I heard they rocked the garage so hard, your dad's tools fell off the walls!  That's cool!
