Manson chose not to go a hospital, instead opting to rest up in his hotel room. He and his band are scheduled to perform next tomorrow night in Calgary. As of now, the show is still a go.

Cro-Mags Founder Harley Flanagan’s Assault and Weapons Case Dismissed

CroMags.com Assault and weapons charges against  Cro-Mags founder and former bassist Harley Flanagan have been dismissed, reports the website New York Natives . The charges resulted from a melee that took place at the CBGBs Festival back in July, with Flanagan and members of the band’s current lineup coming to blows and a knife fight factoring into the legalities. In a video interview seen below, Flanagan states, “I’m very glad to have all this behind me … It wasn’t until I was in the hospital that I realized that I was the one getting charged with attacking them, which was a surprise to me. I thought we were all going to get charged with having a fight or whatever. I didn’t see how it could make sense that one person could attack a room full of people. It didn’t make sense then and it makes no sense now, cause it just didn’t happen and that’s basically why I’m getting off today is because they had a lot people making statements then saying that I did this and I did that, but it all started falling apart because they were all giving conflicting statements.” At the time, it was reported that Flanagan allegedly assaulted bassist Michael Couls and another victim, William Berario, at the festival with a hunting knife.

Machine Head’s Robb Flynn Releases Video Diary Documenting Successful Hernia Surgery

Liz Ramanand, Loudwire Machine Head recently were forced off the road as frontman Robb Flynn could no longer soldier through the pain of his double inguinal hernia. The band left a massive tour with Dethklok, All That Remains and the Black Dahlia Murder so Flynn could undergo emergency surgery. The singer went under the knife yesterday (Nov. 14), filming the process along the way. Robb Flynn’s surgery diary begins with the frontman being driven to the hospital, acting less than enthusiastic about the procedure, but reassured fans, “I’m a little nervous; I going under anesthesia, but I’m stoked to be getting it done. I’ve been putting it off for too damn long.” The rest of the short film includes Flynn giving very specific details and updates throughout the day, while showing off his ballin’ purple hospital socks. As a dazed Flynn woke up from the surgery, he seemed relieved to be done with his hernia burden. “Apparently it went really good,” assured Flynn. “I got a couple of holes in me. I’ve got some IV going, I’ve got some good drugs on me; not feeling a whole lot of pain right now … apparently my double inguinal hernia is fixed.” Flynn went on to thank his bandmates and friends for their support during the process, of course adding that his family jewels were feeling sore.
