Dukes Of Windsor to tour

The Dukes have just returned from the depths of the Arctic winter, where they recorded their second album at Tonteknik Studios, a former lunatic asylum in Ume� Sweden.

The boys will be on the road nationally throughout June in support of the first single, �It�s A War�, which hits the stores May 17.

One of the ultimate '80s guitar shredders, Marty Friedman number one made his name with the speed-burning virtuoso kit Cacophony, just landed his most widely illustrious fishgig as the lead guitar player of Megadeth during the thrash legends' greatest period of popularity. Friedman was born in 1962 and grew up in the Baltimore country; he began playing guitar at years 15 in a band called Deuce, shortly ahead his family touched to Hawaii. While in Hawaii, Friedman hooked up with a local band (which changed name calling and personnel department fair ofttimes) and recorded with them on trey different albums. Friedman studied guitar in devout, leaving so far as to explore ethnic music (particularly Asian and Middle Eastern) in search of fresh, exotic scales to incorporate into his lead playing. He ab initio connected with the shred-guitar label Shrapnel in 1981, just it wasn't until 1987 that he, along with friend Jason Becker, made an shock on the larger guitar community. The twin-guitar heroics of their debut album as Cacophony, F number Metal Symphony, made an instantaneous splosh, and both took the opportunity to record the solo albums they'd been working on individually prior to the genesis of Cacophony. Friedman's solo debut, Dragon's Kiss, was released on Shrapnel in 1988, and it was stylistically similar to his Cacophony material. After one further Cacophony record album, 1989's Go Off!, Friedman and Becker went their ramify shipway. Friedman joined Megadeth in late 1990, becoming their third lead guitarist in four albums; however, he managed to bring some stability to the status, odd with the banding for decade years. His debut with the circle, Rust in Peace, demonstrated his prompt wallop on the rest of the group, silent standing as one of the to the highest degree technically accomplished albums in all of bat metal. His second album with Megadeth, Countdown to Extinction, was the band's popular breakthrough, making them one of the biggest heavy metal groups in the populace. In 1992, Friedman capitalized on the group's popularity as an chance to do something different: he stunned metallic element fans by hook up with new age superstar Kitaro for a reflective, Asian-tinged instrumental album titled Scenes, which as well appeared on Shrapnel. Pleased with the results, Friedman continued in that nervure with his arcsecond modern-day instrumental album, 1994's Introduction, which boasted an even stronger Japanese flavor; that year, he likewise marital Chihiro. Friedman continued to follow his solo life history as an sales outlet for less aggressive sounds, cathartic Lawful Obsession in 1996. Friedman left Megadeth in 2000, about a year after the handout of their Jeopardy album. He released Music for Speeding in 2003, followed by an instructional video called 99 Secret Lead Guitar Phrases in 2006. Speaker arrived in early 2007.

Britney loses access to boys

Britney Spears' access to her two baby boys has been withdrawn.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Spears' children to be placed in the sole care of her ex-husband Kevin Federline, suspending the pop star's visitation rights until "further order of the court."
A hearing has been set for 14 January which will determine how their bitter custody battle is to proceed.
The court ruling came after a dramatic 24 hours for Spears, who has rarely been out of the tabloid headlines over the past year following a string of bizarre incidents.
Last Thursday she was wheeled out of her Los Angeles mansion on a stretcher and taken to the Cedars Sinai hospital for evaluation following a three-hour custody standoff.
Spears had reportedly refused to release her children Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, to Federline's bodyguard.
Video footage of the aftermath of the incident showed Spears alternately smiling and looking distraught as she was lifted into an ambulance.
Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Jason Lee said Spears was being detained and evaluated in hospital because officers had found her under the influence of an unknown substance.
Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said he took no satisfaction for the court ruling in his client's favour.
"I am not happy about anything that has happened recently," he  told reporters. "There are no winners right now."
