GWAR PHOTOS FROM LONDON SHOW

A number of photos from GWAR's March 16, 2007 concert at the Mean Fiddler in London, England have been posted online at this location (all pictures by Pete Woods).

As previously reported, GWAR filmed a music video for the song "Eight Lock" on November 27, 2006 before their show at the New Orleans House of Blues. The clip was shot in its entirety at the House of Shock haunted house in New Orleans and features the band roaming through the House of Shock as if it were Hell and encountering some of its inhabitants along the way. Cast members of the House of Shock also make appearances in the clip.

BRETT SCALLIONS JOINING RIDERS ON THE STORM (THE DOORS)

Former Fuel lead singer Brett Scallions has joined Riders on the Storm, the band composed of Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robbie Krieger. Scallions replaces Ian Astbury, who left the group to continue working with his recently reactivated band, the Cult. Manzarek said in a statement, "Brett is on board and we are glad to have him, he has a great voice and a lot of charisma." Scallions added, "Having an opportunity to share the stage with these great musicians is more exciting than anything I've ever done. I'm so proud to be a part of this."

Scallions departed Fuel in early 2006 after more than ten years. He sang on the group's first three albums, which included hit songs such as "Bittersweet" and "Shimmer."

Fuel has been mixing its fourth effort in Los Angeles, although a title and release date have yet to be revealed. The band has still not officially announced singer Toryn Green as the replacement for Scallions.

The group reportedly offered the frontman job to American Idol runner-up Chris Daughtry at one point.

Riders on the Storm was originally called the Doors of the 21st Century until Doors drummer John Densmore and the estates of late singer Jim Morrison and his wife, Pamela Courson, forced Manzarek and Krieger to change the name.

THE WHO CANCEL ANOTHER NORTH AMERICAN SHOW

The Who have cancelled a concert in Mexico this weekend because Roger Daltrey is still ill.

As previously reported, the 63-year-old frontman had to pull out of a show in Florida earlier this week after just one song because of the bout of bronchitis.

Now concert organisers in Mexico have confirmed that the date in the capital Mexico City on Saturday (March 17) is cancelled, despite having earlier said that it would go ahead.

Unfortunately, organisers have not yet managed to reschedule the date. The show in Florida has been successfully rearranged for March 25.

While Daltrey has been recovering, Pete Townshend has delivered a keynote speech at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
