Since the bands recorded the benefit song "The Saints Are Coming" at Abbey Road Studios, they decided to do the same thing that most people do when they visit the historic landmark, and walk across the street. The members of U2 and Green Day posed for a picture at the famous crosswalk, with the members shaking hands in the middle. Pictures can be seen here on U2.com.
As Three Days Grace prepare to release "Pain" as the follow-up single to their massive hit "Animal I Have Become," the band has announced their first major headlining tour of their home country of Canada. The trek begins in Toronto on November 10 and wraps up in Victoria, BC on November 26.
As previously reported, 311 plan to take some time off now that the Omaha band has finished up their tour behind last year's Don't Tread On Me. The five members of 311 have consistently toured and recorded since 1998. Singer Nick Hexum tells Billboard, "I wouldn't feel satisfied if our next album can be so closely compared to our last one. I think it's time for a little bit of a break and a little time away from each other, not out of necessity but as a pre-emptive thing, before we get sick of it."
