These guys released a album in October 2010 called Mastermind.
This is the first single from the album. Its their 8th album, the first came out in 1992. MONSTER MAGNET formed in 1989; fusing a template born of metal, punk, space rock and psychedelic influences. The band soon developed a sludgy, feedback-heavy hard rock sound that helped them stand out from the era's burgeoning retro-rock movement.
The band went out on a massive European tour, that begun in August and then in November–December 2010, to promote their new album.
On the 3rd of November 2010, the first date of the band's European tour supporting Mastermind, Dave Wyndorf announced that Ed Mundell has left the band due to personal reasons. He also stated that Garrett Sweeny (Riotgod) will be filling Ed's spot on the tour.
The tour looks like this: Nov 6: Aalborg - Aalborg Metal Fest Nov 7: Gothenburg - Brewhouse Nov 8: Oslo - Rockefeller Nov 10: Helsinki - Nosturi Nov 12: Stockholm, Sweden - Klubben Nov 13: Malmo - KB Nov 14: Copenhagen - Loppen Nov 16: Eindhoven - Effenaar Nov 17: Gent - Handelsbeurs Nov 18: Cardiff - Millennium Music Hall Nov 20: Sheffield - Corporation Nov 21: Reading - Sub 89 and more, pls look at their website.

Slash is in town, doing some promotion for The "deluxe edition" of Slash's self-titled solo album, beside that he also did a jump in with Alter Bridge the other day and he will also be involved in "Skavlan" tomorrow.
The "deluxe edition" of Slash's self-titled solo album will featuring in addition to the songs featured on the regular CD, the deluxe edition will include three extra tracks — cover versions of GUNS N' ROSES' "Paradise City" (featuring Fergie and CYPRESS HILL) and "Sweet Child O' Mine" (performed acoustically, with ALTER BRIDGE's Myles Kennedy on vocals) and acoustic rendition of "Back From Cali". The deluxe edition also comes packaged with a 52-minute DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the album, performance footage from Australia and Los Angeles, video clips and more.
Today we offer the latest single and video from his album, so todays tune is "Beautiful Dangerous". It features Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas on vocals. During an interview, where Slash goes through each of his album tracks, he stated:
“I got hip to Fergie being probably as good or better a rock singer than she is a pop singer. I heard her do Barracuda, the old Heart song, and I was like, fuckin’ wow! I ended up doing a couple of shows with her where she sang Barracuda and Sweet Child O’ Mine. She’s one of the most phenomenal fucking rock ‘n’ roll singers, male or female, I’ve ever heard.'”
On August 27, it was announced that Slash was filming a music video for the song. Slash stated that "The concept is twisted; Fergie's idea." The video for "Beautiful Dangerous" premiered an Vevo on October 28, 2010.
Alter Bridge is really a hot potato the Tune Of The Day today, we must forge so long while the iron is hot, (A Swedish spokeswoman way) so I concentrate on one thing before the official Tune Of The Day comes. Under the clip i added the setlist so you can what tunes got played during this fabulous evening.
Here's a clip with Alter Bridge with Slash who were guests at the concert's final song.
Alter Bridge & Slash - Rise Today, the Arena 2 November, 2010
Setlist Slip to the Void Buried Alive Before Tomorrow Comes Still Remains Brand New Start White Knuckles All Hope Is Gone Metalingus Ghost of Days Gone By Broken Wings Ties That Bind Coming Home One Day Remains I Know It Hurts Come To Life Blackbird Watch Over You (Acoustic) Open Your Eyes Encore: Isolation Rise Today (with Slash)
I'm still easily influenced by the concert with Alter Bridge, I have to offer a little extra like this outside the box, the official Tune Of The Day comes a bit later, first out is a visit to the Bandit studio as Myles and Mark visited before the concert. Where did that have an acoustic version of Wonderful Life, which is included on the new album "AB III"
Alter Bridge - Wonderful Life unplugged in "Bandit-studio" Enjoy!
Alter Bridge is out on tour and yesterday they did a visit to the Arenan, Fryshuset here in Stockholm, they have been in Malmö and tonight they play in Gothenburg.
The Alter Bridge made up of a bunch of very nice guys, there's no doubt whatsoever. The stage is set up on the "Little Arena", just as it was last time they were here. This was the third time I've seen Alter Bridge live and all performances have been at Fryshuset, two in the Arenan and one at Klubben, i hope that they chooses a new arena for next time ☺. A good choice would be the intimate little scene "Circus", but it's probably likely too small for the next time they come over.
That this has been a fascinating journey, mean of course the band's development, not because so much has happened except that the band has become more tighter during the years. Alter Bridge is a great live band, it is not the show's sake, but here there is an incredible joy and love for what they do and it shows clearly that they have fun at work which is contagious to the audience and results to the job they have become much, much easier than it was like four sour old men who just did this.
Alter Bridge popularity is steadily increasing in Sweden and after an absence from these cold regions attracted considerable interest in this gig.
While they was absent, has the singer Myles Kennedy has played and toured together Slash, The other three are reunited with Scott Stapp and Creed brought back onto the road.
They opened the show with "Slip To The Void" from the new album, before they went back to the older songs from the previous albums. The show was loaded more towards the older material than the new album, but with a good variation back and forth. Tunes like "Before Tomorrow Comes", "Buried Alive", "Brand New Start", "Blackbird," "Watch Over You," "Broken Wings", "Brand New Start", "I Know It Hurts" and "White Knuckles" played during the evening.
A really fun thing during this gig was just before the gig, a taxi turned up with a little loose "VIP" people in my eyes, added not so much considering to it, but there was one of the guys who looked unusually cool and I thought quickly that it is well some guy who likes "Guns n 'Roses", in view of Sunglasses and a the hat, a rainy autumn evening as this when it was pitch black out ☺. My wife comes up to me and says "Is that not Slash standing there, I said, no, I do not think so".
However a bit later when the gig was well under way, that same guy knocks me on the shoulder and ask what the song is called that they play, I turned around and answer a bit shaky ... Blackbird. When the penny dropped down and I realize that I'm standing next to Slash and check out the gig.
Just before the last song at the gig and before it will be time for an encore, Myles fit to make an acoustic number, and the band gets off. That's when they discover that Slash standing there, and everyone greets each other, Mark asked Slash if he will not come up and play a bit, but Slash screws a bit on him self, and respond that it was not quite what I had in mind, Mark insisting, you can take my place, that's ok, would of course shit fun and fun for Myles otherwise. Slash screws even more, and doing a Shakespeare, Should I or Should I not ...looks at me and asks "Should I"? I respond fast as hell, of course, do it. Slash nods and picks on his sunglasses and takes off his leather jacket, the band has returned to the stage to completed the first set consisting of a short brejk before the encore. The band comes down and decides with Slash that he may come up on the last encore "Rise Today" The band returned on stage and tear off the new single "Isolation" and then will surprise no one had anticipated it in little Sweden and at Arenan, Fryshuset of all places, Slash gets up and the crowd goes bananas, what a fucking surprise, will probably be a gig that will live a long time in memory.
Swedish April Divine opened up the night and unfortunately I missed completely, did not really fit into my schedule but it is a band that I certainly run into sooner or later.
Here is some pictures from the show.
To wrap this up we takes a tune from the new record, enjoy!

This American band visited Stockholm yesterday at Debaser Medis. It was filled to overflowing. The audience was quite lyrical,they sang in almost all the songs the band did, quite fantastic to see how much they liked what they saw and heard. The music was a bit of Indie like but with a harder, rock almost to punk rock.
It wasent that much air in concert hall at the end, im suprised that the crowd jumped and sang so much at the end. Oups Just saw a bit of me in that pic, ah well.
His lyrics was quite cool and did have a lot of it and the crowd remembered it all..quite amazing to see. Its not my cup of tea but its was rocking.
