>Weiland Says STP Will Headline Family Values Tour Tentative lineup includes
>Staind, System of a Down, singer says. With President Bush in office, perhaps
>there's no better time for a return of Family Values.The successful hard-rock
>tour will resurface this fall with Stone Temple Pilots leading the charge,
>according to the band's frontman."[Our management] asked everyone in the band
>if we were into it, and we said yeah," Scott Weiland said Friday. "That's
>what we're going for right now."The trek is slated to navigate the United
>States in October and November. Staind and System of a Down are also in
>discussions to appear on the bill, Weiland said. "That's the tentative
>lineup." Publicists for Staind and System said the bands are still hammering
>out their fall tour plans and have made no firm decisions. Family Values
>producer John Scher said Monday (April 30) that organizers are not ready to
>make any announcements regarding the lineup.The Korn-founded Family Values
>fall tour had successful runs in 1998 and 1999 before taking a breather last
>year. Organizers cited stiff competition as the reason for the break,
>including Stone Temple Pilots' Return of the Rock tour with Godsmack. For a
>time, organizers kicked around the idea of staging the festival in the winter
>or spring of this year.Family Values' inaugural run in 1998 featured
>headliners Korn, Limp Bizkit, Rammstein, Orgy and Ice Cube. Limp Bizkit
>topped the 1999 trek, which featured a varying lineup that included Filter,
>Staind, the Crystal Method, Run-D.M.C., Mobb Deep and Method Man and Redman.
>Both were among the most successful tours of their respective years.STP just
>finished work on their fifth album, Shangri-La Dee Da, due June 19. Songs
>slated for the LP range from hard-rockers like "Dumb Love," "Long Way Home,"
>and "Transmissions From a Lonely Room," to midtempo pop tunes like "Hello
>It's Late" and "Samba Nova" and the ballads "Wonderful" and "Noah's Song."
>Latin influences and experimental arrangements mark several tracks.Shangri-La
>'s first single, the catchy pop-rocker "Days of the Week," will arrive at
>radio in late May as the band heads to Europe for a two-week tour."[Days of
>the Week] has kind of a rock 'n' roll feel of Zeppelin during the Presence
>period, but methodically and lyrically where I was coming from was an Elvis
>Costello or Joe Jackson [influence]," Weiland said. — Teri vanHorn

>Union Underground To Replace Cold On Ozzfest Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society
>bumped up to main stage. Aggro-rockers Union Underground will return to
>Ozzfest to fill the void in the second-stage lineup left by Cold's departure,
>according to a tour spokesperson.Earlier this month, Cold announced their
>plans to leave the multi-band metal-fest in favor of a summer outing with
>fellow nü-metallers Staind. The morose quintet claimed the reason for their
>withdrawal was partly based on the afternoon time slot they were given. "This
>year, the stages weren't rotating from main to second, so we had a slot at
>three o'clock, and it was only [scheduled] for 25 minutes," Cold singer
>Scooter Ward said. "So [it came down to] 25 minutes in the afternoon or go
>out with Staind at nighttime and [play for] 55 minutes. And they're our
>friends, so we'd rather do that." Union Underground performed on Ozzfest
>2000's second stage, along with Kittie, Disturbed, Crazy Town, and Taproot,
>among others.In other Ozzfest news, Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society has been
>bumped up from the second stage and will now play first on the main stage.
>Meanwhile, Systematic, Godhead and Otep have been tapped to play the second
>stage during the first half of the tour; and Pressure 4-5, Spineshank and No
>One will come aboard for the second half, according to the spokesperson.

>Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays" alongside the band's classic hits.The 15-song LP
>is due May 22, Island Records said, and will include "You Give Love a Bad
>Name," "Livin' on a Prayer," "Wanted Dead or Alive," "Runaway," "Bad
>Medicine" and "It's My Life," among other favorites.Contrary to what the
>title implies, One Wild Night was recorded at several concerts from around
>the world throughout their career. Bon Jovi compiled the track listing, which
>is short on ballads, to show the more straight-up rock side of the band that
>is sometimes overlooked. The boys from Sayreville will promote the new album
>with a May 12 performance on "Saturday Night Live." They are currently on the
>One Wild Night tour and play Monday (April 30) at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
>The outing wraps up July 27 and 28 with two sold-out homecoming shows at New

>"You Give Love a Bad Name"
>"Keep the Faith"

>Slipknot Cancel Stateside Shows No reason cited; band also rearranges other
>commitments. The Slipknot camp seems to be sporting more change than a
>two-bit gumball machine in the months leading up to the release of their
>second album.The masked makers of musical mayhem have cancelled a string of
>concert dates announced earlier this month, according to a Roadrunner Records
>spokesperson. The five-city trek was scheduled to begin May 4 in Cedar
>Rapids, Iowa. No reason has been given for the change of plans, and it's
>unknown whether the gigs will be rescheduled. Now, instead of performing in
>Green Bay, Wisconsin, on May 7, Slipknot will invade Minneapolis — not Los
>Angeles as was previously planned — to film and record their musical
>contribution to the remake of the '70s film "Rollerball," which is scheduled
>to hit theaters August 17. It's still not known what the song is or whether
>it will appear on the movie's soundtrack. The as-yet-untitled follow-up LP to
>1999's eponymous disc also has a slightly modified release date: July 17,
>according to the spokesperson. That's a week earlier than what maggots,
>a.k.a. Slipknot fans, have been waiting anxiously for — at least since the
>last due date modification.A few commitments, though, are still firm. The
>band is on course to head overseas on May 17 for a series of headlining shows
>and European festivals, and a main-stage slot on Ozzfest kicks off June 8 in
>Chicago.(For a full-length interview, check out "Slipknot: Unmasked".) — Joe
