U2 will perform a free concert for 10,000 lucky Berliners on Thursday night to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The MTV-sponsored concert will take place by the Brandenburg Gate, mere metres from the site on which the wall had been built. The four-song mini-concert was planned to coincide with the 2009 EMAs taking place in the city on the night.
However, seemingly oblivious to the irony, MTV has insisted that the event will take place behind a protective barrier, disallowing all non-ticket holders from seeing the show.
A spokesperson for Berlin's city government placed all of the responsibility on MTV, stating: "I find it rather unfortunate and unusual for organisers of a free concert – particularly one of this nature – to demand such a barrier,” said a city spokesperson."
An MTV spokesperson countered, claiming that the barrier was necessary to allow the surrounding businesses to continue operation during the perfor ...more

He said the record could be released "sometime next year, maybe this time [next year]".
Smith also said that Flea's experience working with Thom Yorke recently had led to him receiving a CD of electronic music from the bassist. Smith didn't rule out the band going in an electronic direction saying "You never know. We've got songs with piano on them right now".
Chad Smith also commented on the band's recent nomination for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame saying "It's a real honor to be nominated".

Australian rockers Karnivool will release their latest album Sound Awake in the US on February 16 via Sony's SIN label. The album was originally released in Australia on June 5.
According to an update on his official twitter account, Devin Townsend recently tried to post a new song to The Devin Townsend Project's MySpace.
That's when things got interesting. The singer-slash-guitarist's upload failed when MySpace prompted him to say that EMI owned the copyright, a fact the singer has reportedly disputed.
Nonetheless, the song, presumably a cut off of his upcoming release Addicted, should be available in some capacity in the near future.
The album's title track was posted three weeks ago on NoiseCreep.com.
The second album in a cycle of four, Addicted is due out on November 17th.

"In the past, lots of my records ended up taking a kind of Pink Floyd-ish route (between song meandering, etc.) Addicted is really simple: 11 rocking songs with no bullshit."

I love the idea that that's where people are getting music and we'd love to be in that world. We'll figure something out."
He continued: "What The Beatles have done, where the animation is much more representative of them, is what we’re interested in, rather than the one-size-fits-all animation. We didn't want to be caricatured."
