DEFTONES drummer Abe Cunningham recently spoke to AOL Music about the recording process for the band's new album, "Saturday Night Wrist", due on October 31. The 12-track effort, the group's fifth to date, nearly didn't happen, according to Cunningham.
"It was not fun at all, and not pleasant," he told AOL Music. "It was horrendous. It made me very sad."
After recording trips to a mansion in Malibu and with veteran producer Bob Ezrin (ALICE COOPER, PINK FLOYD, NINE INCH NAILS) in Stamford, CT, tensions in the band were high. "We weren't communicating," Cunningham recalls. "We didn't like each other."
"There were no $45,000-a-week counselors or anything like that," Cunningham said, downplaying suggestions of METALLICA-style shrink sessions. "We had this huge meeting and Chino [Moreno, vocals], he was late. We told our management to go away."
"It could have been so, so brutal — finger pointing and attacking and all this sh*t — and it turned out to be the most beautiful, at-ease, wonderful conversation between the five of us. We just said, 'F***! We've been doing this for 18 years!'" Source: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=58561

We are honored and extremely excited to welcome Sean Reinert to the growing roster of Sick Drummers. We have been a fan of his for over 10 years and to finally get a chance to talk with him one on one, has been a rewarding experience. We contacted Sean and asked him if he would like to be a part of this site and the reception was golden from the beginning. We have been working with Sean on his profile page for about a week and can't say enough about the cooperation, enthusiasm and sharing. Well it's official, Sean has signed a full endorsement with Sabian! He is now exclusively playing Sabian cymbals and could not be happier! Congratulations Sean and Keep It Sick! Respectfully, SD.com

The show will also feature a "Saw" museum that includes: torture devices, headgear, set pieces and even Jigsaw's infamous puppet "Billie," as well as other authentic props from the "Saw" franchise — all on exhibition for the first and only time ever.

Circle of Blood participants will gain early access to the venue for a private meet-and-greet autograph session with Shawnee Smith, the bands, and members of the cast and will take home a commemorative bag of "Saw" merchandise.
