Florida band Trivium brought out a very special fan for their performance at last weekend's Gods Of Metal Festival in Milan, Italy. The band's Italian-American bassist Paolo Gregoletto invited his family to his other "hometown" concert on June 24. His biggest fan, his grandmother, was proudly sitting on the side of the stage during Trivium's performance.  She watched proudly from the side of the stage as her grandson rocked out and fans moshed enthusiastically to the band’s metal grooves.  Check out video footage and a photo below.

Blink 182 has canceled their headlining Bamboozle performance.  The band canceled their performance because drummer Travis Barker must have an emergency tonsillectomy surgery.  My Chemical Romance will replace Blink 182's headlining position on Saturday May 19 at the Bamboozle Festival. The festival has released a statement about the lineup revision: 

"The Bamboozle 2012 has revised its lineup for Saturday, May 19 due an emergency tonsillectomy for Travis Barker.  Blink-182 will be greatly missed and all of us at The Bamboozle extend our thoughts and best wishes to Travis for a speedy recovery.

The Bamboozle is pleased to announce My Chemical Romance has been added to the lineup and will perform before the Foo Fighters on the main stage on Saturday.

Between the Buried and Me fans have a lot to be excited about lately.  The progressive metal band is scheduled to tour the US this summer providing direct support to Cannibal Corpse on the Summer Slaughter Tour.  The band has also been busy writing their new album, which hasn’t been titled yet (but may be "Parallax 2" or something like it), in their home state of North Carolina.  And now the globally celebrated innovators will return to Europe in October 2012 in support of their new album.
