The Number Twelve Looks Finished
American metalcore band The Number Twelve Looks Like You have announced that they will disband after a farewell show early next year.
Guitarist Alexis G Pareja issued a statement regarding the split in which he cited “many ongoing issues” and “the slow deteriorating of the band over the years” for the split. Their final show will be on January 29 at School of Rock East in New Jersey.

‘Big Four’ Back Together At Last
Sonisphere Festival has confirmed that they bring the big four of thrash metal together in 2010. Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth will play on the same stage on June 16th in Poland.
Expectation for this has been building since the mid ’80s, the last time they played together.
Gallows cancel dates
Gallows have been forced to cancel three English dates after guitarist Steph Carter fell ill.
The band scrapped gigs planned at the Watford Coliseum (December 17), London Village Underground (December 18) and Newcastle Legends (December 22). Steph has been told not to play any more shows for the remainder of the year. The band has said they will “come back better and stronger than ever in 2010.”
Frusciante flies the coop
After 16 years with Red Hot Chili Peppers, guitarist John Frusciante has announced that he will be leaving the band.
In a statement on his website he said “Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature.” It seems now Frusciante will be working on solo material for release in the new year.
