“Rolling Stone” recently polled their readers to come up with a list of the Top 10 Metal Bands of All Time.  They released the results yesterday.

 If you’re a REAL metal fan, you’re probably going to question how “Rolling Stone” readers define “metal.”  For example, LED ZEPPELIN made the Top 10, and DREAM THEATER came in second place, behind METALLICA. Here are the results:

 1.)  Metallica

 2.)  Dream Theater

 3.)  Black Sabbath

 4.)  Iron Maiden

 5.)  Slayer

 6.)  Megadeth

 7.)  Judas Priest

 8.)  Led Zeppelin

 9.)  Pantera

 10.)  Tool

Nickelback have been named as the biggest musical turnoff, according to a new survey.

Music-based dating website Tastebuds.fm, which matches potential partners based on their taste in music, has carried out the research to find out what their users biggest musical turnoffs were and the Canadian arena rockers came out on top.

Users were asked to nominate up to 12 acts which they regarded as their biggest musical turnoffs, with Nickelback picking up over 13% of all votes cast.

Users of Tastebuds.fm seem to have it in for Coldplay, having previously named their fans as the least likely to have sex on a first date.

1. Nickelback
2. Justin Bieber
3. Lady Gaga
4. Ke$ha
5. Coldplay

METALLICA was supposed to play their first gig ever in India on Friday, but it was canceled at the last minute due to “security concerns.”  Specifically, a barrier in front of the stage collapsed, and couldn’t be repaired.

 Around 25,000 fans were at the venue, but the band never took the stage.

 The fans were NOT pleased . . . and “dozens” of them raided the stage and vandalized equipment.  CHAOS ensued.  The rioters trashed instruments and the sound system, and they threw bottles at the digital display screens.

 Metallica initially planned on rescheduling the show for the next night, Saturday . . . but the concert organizers weren’t able to get a permit in time.

 Metallica issued this statement:  Quote, “We [were] very excited and ready to play our first show ever in India . . .

 ”However, we were notified that there was a serious question as to whether the show could proceed with regard to the safety of the concert audience.  Our first and foremost concern is always for the safety of you, the fans.”

 Metallica did finally give up their Indian virginity yesterday, at a separate, previously scheduled gig in a different city.  (–That one happened in Bangalore.  Friday’s show was supposed to happen in Gurgaon.)

 Four people from the promotion company have been arrested for fraud, cheating people and breach of trust.  They also oversold the venue and didn’t tell fans about the cancellation in a timely manner.

Steven Tyler’s not looking too pretty after passing out in his shower on Tuesday in Paraguay and suffering a black eye, cuts to his face and the loss of two teeth.

His tour manager called the American embassy to find the best hospital and once there he was stitched up and had dental implants put in. The dentist, Dr. Maria Bastos, said he was “friendly and humble… He surprised me with his cheerfulness.” Tyler blames the fall on dehydration caused by food poisoning. As a result, Aerosmith postponed their show that night, but made it up Wednesday.

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry was also proud of Tyler, saying, “He’s amazing… a real trooper. [He] even played harp with his busted lip. My mind was blown. He put on one of his best shows ever.”

Yesterday (Thursday), Tyler spoke with Matt Lauer on NBC’s Today show saying, “Short of having my legs taken off, people are going to expect me on stage no matter what. I went out on stage and I wore my sunglasses for the first song. I took them off and the crowd roared.” When asked if wasn’t dehydration that caused him to pass out, rather than a drug relapse, Tyler said, “Being in the program, it’s something we have to expect. I went public with my problems only to address them head on. You know, people thinking that is natural and normal, [it] still bothers me a little. It’s something I have to deal with the rest of my life.”
