98 Rock presents Metallica at the Arco Arena on Tuesday, December 8th! Ticket prices will be $55 and $77, not counting the additional fees we all know and love. The show goes on sale Saturday, April 4th, at all Ticketmaster outlets, and their web site. This show will be “in the round”, with floor tickets being General Admission, which will be the $77 price, and all other seats being reserved, which will be the $55 tickets. As soon as I get more info I’ll post it right here.

Deftones bassist Chi Cheng is still in the hospital after a November automobile accident left him in a coma. Now, there is a donation site to help with his medical bills, and to post updates on his progress.

The site says, “This is our opportunity to give back to someone who has given us so much joy over the years through music. Each little bit that we contribute will accumulate to help make a difference in Chi’s recovery.”
