OZZY OSBOURNE'S NEW SONG, "LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM,"
 WILL HAVE ITS WORLD PREMIERE DURING THE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14 EPISODE OF "CSI: NY"
Â
Ozzy Osbourne's new song, "Let Me Hear You Scream," from his upcoming Epic Records album, Scream, will have its world premiere during an episode of CSI: NY, to be broadcast Wednesday, April 14 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Â
In the episode, "Redemptio," a death row inmate's (guest star Harold Perrineau, "Lost") final request brings Dr. Hawkes (series regular Hill Harper) to a Pennsylvania prison and face-to-face with a tragic incident that he has kept secret for many years, just as a prison riot erupts and traps Hawkes inside. The story was written by executive producer Peter M. Lenkov, with the teleplay by Lenkov and Bill Haynes.
Â
"We were looking for something high energy and irreverent to sell the madness of a prison riot," said executive producer and episode writer Peter M. Lenkov.  "We immediately responded to the new Osbourne tune. The song exceeded our expectations and brought exactly the right tone to the episode."
Â
"When I heard they were going to use 'Let Me Hear You Scream' for a prison riot scene, I thought, 'Well, now that's something I know about,'" says Ozzy, who spent time in prison in the U.K. for burglary before his 18th birthday.
Â
Ozzy Osbourne's career has spanned four decades and his music is as relevant today as ever. The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has sold over 100 million albums worldwide â 50 million with Black Sabbath and as many as a solo artist. In 2003, he was honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard's "Walk of Fame."Â Osbourne is not only a legend and an icon, but is a pioneer in his genre of music.Â
Â
CSI: NY, a crime drama inspired by the drama series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," is about forensic investigators who use high-tech science to follow the evidence and solve crimes in the Big Apple.Â
Stoners everywhere are anxiously awaiting April 20th, no... Not just because it's 4/20, but because that's the day that we get the new Cypress Hill album Rise Up!
I'm sure that you've heard us play the title track featuring Tom Morello on guitar, but if you want a better idea of what the entire album is going to be like...
Tom Hanks is going from 'HBO's The Pacific' to Green Day's "American Idiot"?It looks that way!What do yout think? Would you go and see this?From deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The Green Day-fueled American Idiot doesn't bow on Broadway bow until April 20. Already, talks are underway with Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman to turn the musical into a feature film. American Idiot uses the songs of punk band Green Day to tell the coming of age story of three small-town guys. One joins the armed forces, another moves to the city and gets mired in a drug habit, the third stays home and gets his girlfriend pregnant. There is little dialogue beyond the Green Day tunes. The musical is directed by Spring Awakeningâs Michael Mayer, the music supervisor is Tom Kitt and Green Day and its lead singer/songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong were very involved. The musical first opened at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, with Tom Hulce and Ira Pittelman producing, and it begins previews this week at the St. James Theatre.
Playtone's last stage-to-screen transfer was the Abba musical Mamma Mia! Critics might not have loved it, but audiences sure did. The film grossed $610 million worldwide, becoming one of the biggest hits in Universal Pictures history. Hanks and Goetzman have a first-look deal at Universal, but the producers will sew up the movie rights before giving the studio first crack, I hear. They just set up Larry Crowne at Universal, with Hanks directing and starring with Julia Roberts.
Universal, which keeps threatening to start movement on a feature version of the stage hit Wicked, is on a faster track with In The Heights, hiring Kenny Ortega to direct a movie version that is expected to star the show's creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, as the bodega owner who plans to use a lottery windfall to retire on a beach in the Dominican Republic. New Line is turning the Broadway musical Rock of Ages into a film, with Chris DâArienzo adapting his book into a script and directing a coming of age story that is homage to hair band anthems.
All of this indicates that the movie musical's heart is still beating, despite the box office disappointment of Nine last year.

In 2008, following a 13 year hiatus, the band returned to the stage for their âTake Us Aliveâ world tour, which encompassed 75 cities and multiple continents in support of their new and groundbreaking record, Saudades de Rock.
This recording captures EXTREME at the peak of their game with a renewed enthusiasm led by Gary Cheroneâs spellbinding stage performance and powerful vocals, Nuno Bettencourtâs ferocious guitar, Pat Badgerâs flawless bass and Kevin Figueiredoâs pounding drums not to mention the Extreme trademark, spot on, back up vocals.

The concert showcases material from all 5 EXTREME albums and exhibits the bands broad stylistic abilities. Features include a blistering rendition of the Zeppelin-minded âComfortably Dumb,â the scorching âPlay With Me,â the funked-up âCupidâs Deadâ as well as the anthemic âGet The Funk Out.â Songs like their #1 hit âMore Than Wordsâ and the top 5 âHole Hearted,â highlight the crowds enthusiasm and loyal support their fan base has had for this beloved foursome. âAs much as we enjoy recording, for me, Iâve always loved playing live for the fans,â Cherone says. âWe couldnât wait to get out there and play for our fans.â
The DVD will contain 4 unreleased bonus videos from their latest record Saudades de Rock. Videos include the songs âKing of the Ladiesâ, âInterfaceâ, âRunâ and âGhost.â The videos were produced by Nuno Bettencourt. âThis DVD/CD is a culmination of all the years we played together and the chemistry the four of us put out live,â explains Bettencourt.Â

 About EXTREME:
To date, the Grammy-nominated EXTREME have released five albums, plus a greatest hits setâselling over 10 million records worldwide. They also achieved a #1 hit single, âMore Than Wordsââfrom their 1990 multi-platinum album Extreme II: Pornograffittiâon the Billboard Hot 100, which they followed with the Top Five âHole Hearted.â Although these two acoustic hits brought the band great mainstream success, the bandâs trademark sound has always been more a mix of hard rock funkâfueled by guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourtâs signature style, Gary Cheroneâs resonant vocals and socially conscious lyrics, Pat Badgerâs rock solid bass, and the hard hitting Kevin Figueiredo on drums.
It was just after 8 a.m. on Feb. 12, and for the last three hours Guns Nâ Roses frontman Axl Rose had been knocking back cocktails of vodka, cranberry juice and champagne at hip NYC lounge Greenhouse. Hot off the stage from an electric two-hour gig at the John Varvatos store on the Bowery, Rose still had enough energy to keep the party going with his entourage of 20 or more rockers and hangers-on.
âItâs kind of his thing,â said Greenhouse co-owner Barry Mullineaux of Roseâs early after-partying that morning (Mullineaux later named a rose-colored champagne cocktail âthe Axl Roseâ in honor of the rockerâs wild morning at his club.). âHis shows always run late, and heâs a true rock star so he liked to have after-parties after all of his shows.â
 But Roseâs recent high jinks are legendary even where rockers are concerned. For the last three weeks, the singer has been on an epic bender in New York, tearing through the cityâs nightclubs and bars like heâs still the stick-thin 25-year-old who became a worldwide phenomenon after the release of his album âAppetite for Destruction.â
Since he arrived in the city for his Fashion Week concert on Feb. 11, heâs gone out nearly every night (and continued on till the morning), usually crashing afterward at his $1,550-a-night suite in the Essex House Hotel. His assault on New York night life has made him a one-man stimulus package during the sceneâs winter doldrums â and the cityâs nocturnes are thrilled.
âItâs like heâs teaching the next generation how itâs done,â said one source who has joined Rose on at least half a dozen of his jaunts, where Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill has also been spotted. âWhoâs a bigger rock star than Axl Rose?â
One of Roseâs guitarists, Richard Fortus, is in the process of getting started on an elaborate back tattoo at Graceland in Brooklyn, which will take some time to complete.
Though Rose, who lives on the West Coast, has been in New York on and off in the last couple years, night-life insiders say he hasnât hit the town this hard since 2006.
That year, Rose was in town to play a show at the now-defunct club The Plumm â and got into a punch-up with preppy designer Tommy Hilfiger. (Rose moved a drink that belonged to one of Hilfigerâs friends, so Hilfiger hit him in the face. The clothier was shown the door, and Rose later performed âYouâre Crazyâ â dedicating the song to Hilfiger.)
Now, the rocker, who turned 48 on Feb. 6, is back on the rampage in the Big Apple. Rose asked to play the concert at the Varvatos store â for reasons that are still unclear â and proprietor John Varvatos was happy to oblige. âWe thought they were only going to play five or six songs,â Varvatos said of Rose and his band. In fact, he played 17 to a packed room which included Kevin Bacon.
Like I told you back in November, the new Slash album is going to be awesome! He's got some HUGE names making appearances! Check out this video, of the behind the scenes "Making Of' the new album!
 SAVING ABEL MAKES LONG-ANTICIPATED JOURNEY OVERSEAS AND PERFORMS FOR TROOPS ON USO TOUR TO PERSIAN GULF
ARLINGTON, VA. (Feb. 24, 2010) â Rock band Saving Abel teamed up with the USO for a weeklong  USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour in the Persian Gulf. Busy visiting and performing for troops in Qatar and Kuwait, Saving Abel has entertained more than 3,500 troops so far and just finished filming their USO show at Camp Arifjan.

Known for their radio-ready sound, memorable melodies and hard-hitting tracks, the band will also sign autographs, pose for photos and spend time with soldier.
⢠Having entertained 1,750 troops in Kuwait, the group filmed their USO show at Camp Arifjan on February 23 and will provide viewers with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look of USO entertainment in early March. With the help from Ustream, the concert will be picked up by MySpace, Facebook and other social networking sites, and is dedicated to Americaâs armed forces and their families.

⢠Known for such songs as âAddicted," 18 Days,â âDrowning (Face Down)â, Saving Abel was formed in Corinth, Mississippi in â04.
Quotes:
Attributed to Saving Abel:
The safety, well-being and happiness of our nationâs troops have always been close to our hearts. And what better way to show them we care, than by traveling to the Persian Gulf on a USO tour and rocking out Americaâs soldiers. The USO has a rich history of delivering a touch of home to our men and women in uniform, and Saving Abel is honored to be apart of that legacy. We couldnât do what we do everyday without them, and we are forever grateful.
Attributed to singer Jared Weeks:
No matter where we go or who we are playing in front of, we always make sure people know that from our perspective it is each and every one of their responsibilities to support our troops. They do so much for us, they deserve to be recognized. We have these freedoms because of what they do.
Attributed to Sloan Gibson, USO president and CEO:
Americaâs armed forces do more than defend our borders and protect us from harm, they sacrifice their lives for us 365 days a year and serve our nation proudly from all around world. Through USO tours like Saving Abel, the USO is able to give back to our nationâs troops by lifting their spirits and bringing smiles to their faces. We are thrilled to be working with Saving Abel and know that those in the Persian Gulf are in for a great treat.
Attributed to John Ham, Ustream founder and CEO, and Brad Hunstable, Ustream founder and president:
Ustream is a proud supporter and partner for this event with the USO and Saving Abel to provide entertainment for our brave soldiers abroad. Having served our country and graduated from West Point, this is a cause that's near to us and we are honored to be a part of it. It's great to see that the Ustream platform is being used in line with our founding vision to bring a one-to-many live streaming solution to everyone, everywhere.
Attributed to Jeanne Flower, St Albert The Great School Principal:
