Alice in Chains, Deftones, Mastodon tour news coming
An Alice in Chains, Deftones and Mastodon tour will be announced tomorrow.
The Alice in Chains, Deftones and Mastodon tour news will appear on BlackDiamondSkye.com, a site that combines the names of the three bands' latest albums: Alice in Chains' Black Gives Way to Blue, Deftones' Diamond Eyes and Mastodon's Crack the Skye. The site features a clock that is counting down to tomorrow at 3 p.m. Eastern, when the tour news will come out.
The Alice in Chains, Deftones and Mastodon tour won't likely begin until later this summer, because all three bands are touring on their own for the next several months. The Alice in Chains tour ends July 10, the Deftones tour ends July 9 and the Mastodon tour ends July 3. The Alice in Chains, Deftones and Mastodon tours all wrap up in Europe, so don't be surprised if their joint tour starts overseas.

Billy Corgan: Courtney Love and I are done
The on-again, off-again feud between Billy Corgan and Courtney Love is back on again, in a big way.
Corgan went off on Love on Twitter yesterday, the day before her band Hole released its new album, Nobody's Daughter. He had previously told her that she couldn't use any songs they had co-written on the album, but she didn't listen. (Corgan has writing credits on four Nobody's Daughter tracks.)
So the feud between Billy Corgan and Courtney Love escalated, with Corgan writing, "if you can't write your own songs maybe you should just be happy that you fooled someone into doing your work for you... maybe you should go someone nice+live off your husband's money, u know the money he made for writing all those great songs."
Corgan also criticized Love for having her daughter taken away by the government. Meanwhile, Love went on a rant against Corgan on the Howard Stern Show, according to Antiquiet.
Billy Corgan and Courtney Love have known each other for 20 years. They once dated, and Corgan wrote several songs on Hole's album Celebrity Skin. Nobody's Daughter, which also features songwriting contributions from Pete Thorn and Linda Perry, is getting decent reviews so far.
Watch the video for "Celebrity Skin" by Hole, which Billy Corgan and Courtney Love co-wrote:

Stone Temple Pilots' "Between the Lines" tops Billboard charts
Stone Temple Pilots' "Between the Lines," the first single from the band's upcoming album, is the No. 1 song on Billboard's Rock Songs and Alternative Songs charts this week.
For Stone Temple Pilots, "Between the Lines" marks a successful start to their comeback. Although STP has toured for the past few years, the band had not released any new music since "All in the Suit That You Wear," the single from 2003's greatest hits album Thank You. STP's self-titled album will be its first since Shangri-La-Dee-Da, which came out in 2001.
Stone Temple Pilots' "Between the Lines" and "Hickory Dichotomy" are now streaming on Amazon.com, which will make a new song available weekly leading up to the May 25 album release date. STP has also announced that FYE will make the album available for pre-order May 4, and all pre-order customers will receive a free two-song sampler.
