Along with Mastodon and Deftones, Alice in Chains toured the United States and Canada in late 2010 on the Blackdiamondskye tour, an amalgam of the three bands' latest album titles ("Black Gives Way to Blue", "Diamond Eyes", and "Crack the Skye").

# ALICE IN CHAINS Guitarist Talks 'BlackDiamondSkye' Tour

ARTISTdirect.com editor Rick Florino recently conducted an interview with ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist Jerry Cantrell.

A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

ARTISTdirect.com: Do you feel like BlackDiamondSkye is a musical crossroads of sorts?

Jerry Cantrell: It's a good crossroads but not in the Ralph Macchio way [Laughs].

The cool thing is you've got three very individual bands that are hard to put a definite tag on.

In general, it's probably easier to digest or write about something if you can put a tag on it.

We've got grunge, and that encompasses five or six different bands from one town that don't sound anything like each other [Laughs].

I'm sure the other guys have their takes on it too.

We've all worked really hard, and we wanted to put together something special to end the touring cycle.

We figured MASTODON would be done because they've been touring their asses off on "Crack the Skye".

Luckily, they came along to be a part of it.

You can't really define ALICE IN CHAINS, DEFTONES or MASTODON.

Jerry Cantrell: There are three individual musical fingerprints, and you get a hand with three fingers so obviously we've done some things wrong [Laughs].

We've lost a few fingers along the way, but these three fingers are kickass, dude [Laughs].

Were there any package tours similar to BlackDiamondSkye that you went to when you were a kid?

Jerry Cantrell: To me, concerts have always been about a group of bands.

I don't think we're doing anything new here.

It's just a really cool collection of bands.

Some of my best moments going to concerts have been bills with two or three bands.

We do a lot of festivals, so we end up playing a lot of shows with 40 or 50 bands [Laughs].

ARTISTdirect.com: Was "What the Hell Have I" recorded specifically for [the] "Last Action Hero" [soundtrack]?

Sometimes, you can have a song around that kind of relates to a movie.

That's been the case for us a couple of times.

We were all huge "Arnie" fans, and we were hoping for something like "Predator".

There was some AC/DC, MEGADETH and a bunch of other great shit on there.

We had "A Little Better" and "What the Hell Have I" sitting around, and we went in and recorded them specifically for the soundtrack.

I think the filmmakers heard some demos beforehand.

Music and film are pretty interconnected.

Even music, in general, creates visuals for you anyway.

I listen to BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPELIN or any number of bands, and the music takes you to a place or creates a landscape.

Being a kid who sort of lived in his own head, I remember that.

You listen to music, and it takes you somewhere.

It's an obvious marriage of expression; it's just a different art form.

You create visuals with the music anyway, and that just takes it to another level.

Do you have any defining tour memories from the "Dirt" era?

Jerry Cantrell: I don't remember a lot of "Dirt" [Laughs].

The things I remember about that particular tour or any tour are some of the places we played and the bands we played with and things that went on.

When you've been together for a long time, it's hard to pick a line or two out of the book anymore.

There's a lot of shit in there to weed through.

# What Were George Washington's Teeth Made Of? (It's Not Wood)

Dentures worn by George Washington are not made of wood, as one tale suggested.

Here, they are on display at the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh.

The myth of George Washington's wooden chompers is as enduring as the tall tale of the time the young future president chopped down a cherry tree and came clean about his crime.

In fact, Washington had multiple sets of dentures, and they were made of ivory, metal alloys and — most disturbingly — the teeth of other humans, quite possibly slaves.

According to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, Washington's documents show that he purchased toothbrushes and tooth powders beginning at least in his early 20s, but to no avail.

His first tooth was pulled in 1756, when he was just 24.

By 1781, Washington was wearing partial dentures, and by 1789, he had only one tooth left in his mouth.

That year, he started wearing full sets of dentures made from ivory and human teeth.

These teeth were quite possibly purchased at cut-rate prices from slaves or, in the very best case, from desperately poor people, said Kathryn Gehred, a research specialist at the University of Virginia who has written about Washington's teeth.

"George Washington probably gave his inaugural speech with teeth that were from people who were enslaved," Gehred told Live Science.

The story of Washington's dental woes resonates even today because of the legacy of slavery and continuing debates over America's founding and the Founding Fathers' place in history.

During his presidency, Washington was politically ambivalent about slavery; he signed some legislation, like the Slave Trade Act, that attempted to put some limits on the institution in the United States, but he also signed into law the Fugitive Slave Act, which allowed slave owners the right to come into slavery-free states to capture fugitive slaves.

Personally, however, Washington was a slave owner, and a standard one of his time, Gehred said: He bought and sold people, tried to chase them down when they ran away and, when he was living in the abolitionist city of Philadelphia, used legal loopholes to keep his slaves from meeting residency requirements that would have granted them freedom.

By the time of his death, Washington had 317 living slaves, according to historians at Mount Vernon.

In May 1784, he certainly purchased teeth (nine of them) from some of his slaves.

A notation in his ledger book on the "credit" side says "By Cash pd Negroes for 9 Teeth on Acct of Dr. Lemoire."

[Map of the Birthplaces of the Presidents (Infographic)]

"Dr. Lemoire," Gehred said, was a reference to Dr. Jean Le Mayeur, one of Washington's dentists, with whom he subsequently corresponded about purchasing a set of dentures.

There's no way to be sure that the nine teeth bought from the slaves ended up in the dentures, Gehred said, but it's possible that Washington and a dentist struck a deal in which Washington would buy teeth at cut-rate prices from the people he owned in order to bring down the overall cost of the dentures.

Surviving newspapers feature ads by Le Mayeur seeking people willing to have their teeth pulled for cash; one, from Richmond in 1785, offers two guineas per front tooth, "slaves excepted."

At that rate, the nine teeth bought from Washington's slaves should have cost 19 British pounds, Gehred said.

"The fact is, these are people who are desperate enough that they are selling their teeth to a dentist, and they're not being paid as much as a white person," Gehred said.

One set of Washington's dentures, containing human teeth from an unknown mouth or mouths, remains in the collection at Mount Vernon.

In 1756, when Washington was 24 years old, a dentist pulled his first tooth. According to his diary, he paid 5 shillings to a "Doctr Watson" for the removal. His diary also regularly mentioned troubles such as aching teeth and lost teeth. John Adams says he lost his teeth because he used them to crack Brazil nuts but modern historians suggest mercury oxide, which he was given to treat illnesses such as smallpox and malaria, probably contributed to the loss.
 On April 30, 1789, the date of his presidential inauguration, although he had mostly dentures, he had only one remaining natural tooth, a premolar. During that same year, he began wearing full dentures.

# 'Welcome to the greatest rock concert in the world'

First published on Fri 1 Jul 2005 20.13 EDT

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's two o'clock.

Welcome to the greatest rock concert in the world."

Thus began simultaneous Live 8 shows in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin.

Other concerts worldwide made this the biggest ever music event, with millions attending and billions more watching on television.

Backstage, Bob Geldof said: "Everything that's rock 'n' roll is ever meant to be is happening now."

The man who organised the whole spectacle admitted that he only finally relaxed once the concert got under way.

"There's nothing more to do now - it's either crap or it's great and so far it's great," he told reporters a couple of hours into the blockbusting event.

First off was Paul McCartney who opened proceedings in Hyde Park with a rendition of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (opening line, "It was 20 years ago today"), backed by musicians dressed in the iconic Sgt Pepper brightly coloured uniforms.

Bono and U2 then took over, performing It's a Beautiful Day with lyrics especially customised for the event.

Overhead, grey clouds gathered, but the crowd greeted the performers enthusiastically.

Following U2 were Coldplay, who opened with In My Place.

Among the spectators were Chris Martin's wife, Gwyneth Paltrow and their daughter Apple.

Richard Ashcroft sang his best known song, Bitter Sweet Symphony, backed by Coldplay.

Martin sneaked in a small tribute to Status Quo - who opened Live Aid 20 years previously, singing a few words from their song Rocking All Over The World.

The singer called Bob Geldof "a hero" and thanked the organiser, referring to those who were cynical as "stupid".

Elton John performed next, closing with a duet with Pete Doherty.

The two sang Children of the Revolution.

Geldof then made a brief appearance, to introduce Bill Gates as "the greatest philanthropist of our age."

Gates - the richest man in the world - and his wife Melinda have given $5bn (£2.82bn) towards relieving poverty.

Gates paid tribute to Geldof and the event's other organisers.

"I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act," he said.

"I have learned that success depends on knowing what works and bringing resources to the problem.

The generosity we are asking for can save millions of lives.

Some day in the future all people no matter where they are born will be able to lead a healthy life."

The North Londoner sang White Flag, and then was joined on stage by Sengalese singer Youssou N'Dour to sing her breakthrough hit, Thank You.

The two also performed N'Dour's 1994 smash hit Seven Seconds.

Both singers played later at the Eden Project in Cornwall, where over 4,000 people were watching some of Africa's best musicians.

Acts on the bill there included Thomas Mapfumo from Zimbabwe and his group the Blacks Unlimited, dynamic female vocalist Maryam Mursal from Somalia, and Senegalese hip hop group Daara J.

Eden's organiser Peter Gabriel spoke earlier of his "disappointment" that Geldof could not have made more space for black artists on the bill at Hyde Park.

"I am very happy that we are here today," he said.

"It was important that there was the opportunity for African voices to be heard."

Guest presenters at the Cornwall event included Angelina Jolie.

Eden's chief executive Tim Smit said: "What is so exciting about hosting this is that what has been created is a cultural palette and people can get a chance to hear a wide range of sounds of Africa.

It is very moving and emotional and I hope it catches the mood of the time."

At Hyde Park, Stereophonics followed Dido, and then Ricky Gervais introduced REM.

Gervais reprised his famous dance routine from BBC TV series The Office, for "the first and last time only" to the delight of the crowd.

Thousands of people gathered in city centres in Manchester, Wrexham, Cardiff, Birmingham, Liverpool, Hull, Leeds, Gateshead, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Belfast, Inverness and the Channel Islands where screens had been erected to allow people to watch the event free of charge.

Ms Dynamite was followed by Keane, who played Everybody's Changing and Somewhere Only We Know, to roars of approval.

Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell chatted backstage before his band's set.

It's great to be here, taking part in something that needs to be done," he said.

Borrell is too young to remember the original Live Aid concert of 1985.

"This is not about what happened 20 years ago," he said, "This is about today.

My message to the G8 leaders is that this is their chance to make a lot of difference in the world and to come back fulfilling their promises rather than coming back with empty promises.

This is their chance to show the world politics is not just showbusiness for ugly people."

At 5pm Geldof came on stage to announce that more than three billion people were watching the event.

Over in Philadelphia, events were just beginning, with Will Smith on stage to open the US's Live 8 concert.

The actor and singer introduced live link-ups with the crowds in Berlin, Paris and Canada.

He spoke of a Declaration of "Interdependence," and urged the crowds to help end world poverty.

"Every three seconds, somebody's son, somebodys' daughter, somebody's future is gone.

"With a stroke of a pen eight men can make a difference and end the misery of millions of people."

Geldof returned to the stage in London, this time as a performer.

"I know it's cheeky, but I couldn't resist playing on this stage," he told the crowd.

He sang a powerful version of the Boomtown Rats' hit single, I Don't Like Mondays.

"Thanks for letting me do that," he said, leaving the stage to huge cheers.

Annie Lennox was introduced by Brad Pitt.

The Hollywood star talked about the first trip he made to Africa: "I was startled by a young woman with Aids, who grabbed my arm and said 'Please bring us the drugs, please help'.

"By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty.

Former Eurythmics singer Lennox picked up where Pitt had left off.

"We are here today to urge the leaders of the G8 summit to take action for the people of Africa and all the nations where poverty and despair are a way of life," she said.

Her set included Why, Little Bird, followed by the Eurythmics' classic single Sweet Dreams.

They performed a crowd-pleasing set consisting of a medley of Food for Thought, Who you Fighting For, Reasons, Red Red Wine and Can't Help Falling in Love with You.

As evening drew on, US rapper Snoop Dogg upped the ante with Ups and Downs, What's My Name, Drop It, and Nuthin But AG Thang.

Celebrities including Sir Paul McCartney and Victoria and David Beckham were spotted nodding in time to the music in the crowd.

"It's the biggest event that ever happened in my career, in my life," said the rapper after his performance.

"There are so many people watching around the world and it's for a great cause."

Snoop, sporting a white jacket with a large gold medallion in the shape of a pistol underneath, was also the first act to swear live on stage.

Young guns Razorlight strutted on stage, determined to make an impact.

Frontman Johnny Borrell got the crowd going with chart hits Somewhere Else, Golden Touch and Vice.

"We are here to make poverty history and we have a chance," said the singer.

"If we can make enough noise then we can make them listen so have a good time and whatever you do, make sure you make a lot of fucking noise."

Geldof reappeared to introduce 24-year-old Birhan Woldu, one of the starving children featured in footage broadcast during the original Live Aid concert.

Geldof explained that through Live Aid money, Ms Woldu's life was saved, and now, 20 years later, she has just passed her agricultural exams at home in Ethiopia.

Madonna clasped the young woman's hand, keeping tight hold while performing set opener Like a Prayer.

The queen of pop and her band were dressed all in white, like many of tonight's performers.

The famously foul-mouthed singer asked London if it was "fucking ready? Ready to start a revolution? Ready to change history?"

"I was so hyped up with adrenaline I don't remember it actually happened," Madonna said afterwards.

"It's surreal to see so many people in front of you.

It's the biggest audience I've ever played to and the closest to home I've ever played.

I'm pretty sure my kids could hear me singing, they live just down the street from the park."

Next on were Snow Patrol who played Chocolate, followed by the anthemic Run.

A barefoot Joss Stone - at 19 the youngest performer on the London lineup, performed Super Duper Love and I had a Dream.

Shortly after 8pm The Scissor Sisters bounced onto stage.

Singer Ana Matronic told the crowd to "put on your dancing shoes", and the New York group sang Laura, Take Your Mama, and a new song - the first act to do so - called Everybody Wants the Same Thing.

Matronic told the crowd they were going to "rewrite history."

A definite change of pace and style came with Velvet Revolver, just before 9pm.

The American quintet, an offshoot of Guns 'n Roses, sang Do It for the Kids, Fall to Pieces, and Slither.

Among those in the audience at Hyde Park apparently enjoying the generic heavy metal set was Paris Hilton.

Jonathan Ross, having a Spinal Tap moment, was less enthusiastic.

"You can come out now," he told TV viewers.

Sting followed, performing hits including Message in a Bottle and Every Breath You Take.

Mariah Carey, backed by the African Children's Choir, and, true to form, wearing a dress at least two sizes too small, sang Make It Happen, Hero and We Belong Together.

As night fell, David Beckham came on stage to introduce "his good friend" Robbie Williams.

Williams is one of the day's most eagerly anticipated performers.

His arrival brought a much needed shot of adrenalin; he opened with Queen's We Will Rock You, segueing into Let Me Entertain You, mixed with the Killers' "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" riff.

A rendition of his classic track Angels finished the brief set.

Peter Kay apologised for not being Robbie, and led the crowd in a mass karaoke version of Do You Know the Way to Amarillo?

The comedian introduced "the Spice Girls! No.

Appropriately enough, the classic band performed Who Are You and Won't Get Fooled Again.

Half an hour later, huge applause greeted Pink Floyd's arrival on stage at 11pm.

Today's concert marks the first time the legendary band have played together in over 20 years.

Speaking earlier to reporters, they were reluctant to suggest this could be the start of a reunion tour.

Under the slogan NO MORE EXCUSES the band played Breathe, Money, Wish You Were Here and then finished with Comfortably Numb.

And finally, nine and a half hours since he opened the extraordinary day, Paul McCartney returned to the stage, wearing jeans and a white shirt, carrying his guitar.

Macca, looking tired, opened with Get Back.

"I remember you lot from this morning," he quipped.

George Michael joined McCartney for Baby You Can Drive My Car.

The concert closed at midnight, three hours late, with a mass rendition of Hey Jude.

Most of the day's performers - including Geldof - joined the former Beatle on stage to sing the much-loved tune.

The TV coverage continued with The Kaiser Chiefs in Philadelphia, but Jonathan Ross, joined briefly by Michael Buerk, whose TV reports on the Ethopian famine kickstarted the whole Live Aid movement over 20 years ago, and the team at Hyde Park signed off for the night.

The first of the world's concerts kicked off this morning in Tokyo at 6am, and the final notes of music will come from Molson Park in Barrie, Canada, 19 hours later, with today's other concerts in Philadelphia, Moscow, Johannesburg, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Cornwall and London.

The Hyde Park concert was broadcast to 85% of the world's population.

Special guest presenters included Brad Pitt introducing Annie Lennox, David Beckham doing the honours for Robbie Williams, Ricky Gervais, and Little Britain stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams.

Kofi Annan, Cat Deeley, Davina McCall, Michael Portillo, Chris Evans, Harvey Weinstein and the BBC's political editor Andrew Marr were among the onlookers, with Jonathan Ross introducing the live television coverage.

Earlier in the day, Nelson Mandela appeared on stage in Johannesburg.

"Sometimes it falls upon on a generation to be great.

Let your greatness blossom," said the former president of South Africa.

But not to do this would be a crime against humanity, against which I ask all humanity now to rise up."

The aim of the concerts is to raise awareness of poverty in developing nations in the run-up to the G8 summit, which takes place in Gleneagles on July 6.

"This is without doubt a moment in history where ordinary people can grasp the chance to achieve something truly monumental and demand from the eight world leaders at G8 an end to poverty," Geldof said.

In the weeks leading up to Live 8, British newspaper "Daily Mirror" began a petition, garnering support for British rock band Status Quo to play at the event. Originally offered a 6pm slot, the band already had commitments in Ireland and therefore requested an earlier slot. Their request was rejected by the organisers as there were no available slots.
 There were speculations by the press that English girl group the Spice Girls would reunite for a Live 8 performance, in what would have been their first appearance as a five-piece since May 1998. At the Live 8 launch in May, Bob Geldof confirmed that organisers were trying to get the group to reform for the event. Ultimately, the Live 8 reunion did not materialise due to a holdout by Spice Girl Mel B.


Workshops are low-cost or free-of-charge and include art-making and music lessons, such as Afro-Puerto Rican drum classes offered by Jose "Dr. Drum" Ortiz.

# Former Home for the Rich Now Gives Life to Struggling Artists

One subway stop uptown from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, a tall black metal fence surrounds the block-long courtyard of a grand four-story mansion built in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style.

But the thick bars and heavy gate around the Andrew Freedman Home don't keep the neighborhood out —far from it.

"Andrew Freedman really is a gift to all of us," said Melissa Calderon, Bronx native and residency coordinator for the home.

"It's the only place on the Concourse with a yard."

The Andrew Freedman Home was built in 1922 as a residence for formerly wealthy senior citizens who had lost their fortunes.

The building, declared a New York City Landmark in June 1992, sits at the north end of the most-recently designated historic district in the Bronx, the Grand Concourse Historic District.

In recent years, the Andrew Freedman Home has become an important community hub for artists and activists in the south and mid Bronx.

An artist in residency program provides studio space for several artists priced out of other neighborhoods in the borough.

"It's almost like the exiles of Mott Haven," Calderon, 41, said.

Artists receive free studio space in exchange for 20 hours of community service each month.

Most of them teach classes in the Saturday art program for kids — which costs $20 for three months — or help run the home's theater and interactive art shows.

DJ Kool Herc, credited as the originator of hip-hop, and Lisa Kahane, a longtime Bronx photographer, both have a space, and the influential rapper KRS One is expected to take a studio this year.

Jose Ortiz, who goes by "Dr. Drum," holds a free Afro-Puerto Rican drum workshop on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Ortiz, 57, said his drums had been stuffed in a storage unit for 12 years when he was offered a studio.

"They opened the doors to me, and for once, my drums are out in the open," Ortiz said.

"This has been a Renaissance, an awakening, for me just to be able to come here and play the drums."

The studios are on the second floor, which had been locked up and vacant since the 90s when the program started, and have large windows with 20-foot high ceilings.

They line both sides of a long hallway covered in flyers and paintings with a faded, torn green carpet on the floor.

An elevator lurched violently when it carried Calderon up from the basement.

"She has her own way of doing things," Calderon said, as she grabbed the elevator wall.

Calderon said she was part of the Mott Haven art scene for about 10 years and then was priced out when the neighborhood was discovered by real estate investors.

She credited the Freedman Home's current director, Walter Puryear, with keeping this small corner of the Bronx art scene alive.

"I couldn't afford a studio, I couldn't afford rent."

Andrew Freedman — the man — was a New York businessman who was close with leaders of Tammany Hall, once owned the New York Giants and helped finance the city's first subway line.

Freedman was convinced that poverty was hardest on people who used to have money.

When he died, in 1915, he left most of his estate to a fund that established a home where the fallen gentry could live in style.

The Andrew Freedman Home was designed by Joseph H. Freedlander and Harry Allan Jacobs, star architects at the time, and served its original purpose for six decades.

The Mid Bronx Senior Citizens Council bought the building in 1983, and that's how Puryear discovered it.

Puryear, 44, said she brought him to the home for the first time when he was 6 or 7, and he's felt a special connection to the mansion ever since.

"I feel a sense of responsibility that the grandiosity of the building connects to the neighborhood," Puryear said.

"I think it allows people in the Bronx to express a higher quality of themselves."

Calderon said she shares Puryear's sense of responsibility.

The Bronx housing court sits directly across the street from the home, and Calderon said there is usually a line of people waiting to get in when she comes out of the subway.

The court building is tall enough that Calderon can see it from the window in her studio.

The view serves as a constant reminder of the struggles that working- class artists, and people, face.

"Every time I work that building is hanging over me," Calderon said.

"The Bronx is the last place, it truly is.

It's the last real place of affordability and is no longer affordable."

The Andrew Freedman Home was named a New York City Designated Landmark in 1992.
 As of 2012, the Andrew Freedman Home serves as a daycare center and event space. On April 4, 2012 No Longer Empty opened "This Side of Paradise", an exhibition of artworks in various mediums including photography, video projections and installations. Artists such as photographer Sylvia Plachy and graffiti artist Daze showed work relating to the history of the Home and addressing themes like immigration and memory.
 Since "This Side of Paradise", Andrew Freedman Home Director Walter Puryear has offered an Artist In Residency program. Resident Artists have included DJ Kool Herc, Aaron Lazansky, Melissa Calderón, fiber artist Valarie Irizarry, and Josue Guarionex. AFH | AIR artists are awarded studio space and participate in group exhibitions in the Home's galleries. Artists offer workshops to the local Bronx community, exchanging 20 hours of labor per month for AIR benefits.


In November of that year the City of Milwaukee's Arts Board said the original search for a new flag wasn't inclusive enough, and that the flag may go back to the drawing board.

# The People's Flag of Milwaukee could be headed back to the drawing board

The search for the "People's Flag" of Milwaukee could be heading back to the drawing board.

The City of Milwaukee's Arts Board said this week that the original search in recent years wasn't inclusive enough.

Reno's New Flag Looks Suspiciously Familiar

Chairman of the Arts Board Alderman Michael Murphy said of the original search "it was grassroots support.

When you look at the very fine details on how the flag was chosen, there could have been a little more outreach specifically with people of color in our community."

Steve Kodis, the man behind Milwaukeeflag.com and the biggest supporter of making "Sunrise Over the Lake" the official flag of the city says, "I'm not really sure what doing it again is going to solve."

The flag is free for all to use and many organizations including the Milwaukee Brewers have adopted it in some form.

"At this point it doesn't really seem to matter, most people already consider it the new flag," Kodis said.

There is also concern over the potential cost of starting a new search from the ground up.

"There's plenty of other things the city can spend the money on.

That's the beauty of the process we went through, it was people's led it was people's funded," said Kodis.

Murphy says if the cost goes beyond a few thousand dollars there will be objections.

"I would have grave concern if it was very costly.

If it comes to a cost where it's cost prohibitive than I would recommend that we not do that," said Murphy.

The recommendation from the Arts Board is expected to go before the full council for a vote sometime early next year.

This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

The flag's design is described as follows:
 The rising sun over Lake Michigan symbolizes a new day. The light blue bars in its reflection represent the city's three rivers ... and three founding towns ... . Gold represents our brewing history and white symbolizes peace. The organizers of the contest released the design into the public domain, deciding to let the flag gain popular acceptance before pushing for official recognition.  Since its introduction, the People's Flag has been adopted by local businesses and used on commercial products from bicycles to microbrew labels.   The Milwaukee Brewers sell merchandise featuring a combination of the flag image and their retro "mb ball-in-glove" logo.
 On July 19, 2018, the Milwaukee Common Council's Steering and Rules Committee took up a proposal to designate the People's Flag of Milwaukee as the city's new official flag. That committee voted 6-2 to revisit the proposal at another meeting by the end of the year.


The band also covered "Iron Maiden", originally by the band of the same name, for the "Kerrang!" tribute album "Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden" the same year.

(meta data) TITLE: Metallica, Machine Head, Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theater Featured On 'Maiden Heaven' Cd - Blabbermouth.net

# METALLICA, MACHINE HEAD, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, DREAM THEATER Featured On 'Maiden Heaven' CD

World-exclusive performances from METALLICA, MACHINE HEAD, TRIVIUM, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, DREAM THEATER and DEVILDRIVER are among the tracks featured on Kerrang! magazine's latest collection "Maiden Heaven" which features bands covering tracks from IRON MAIDEN's legendary career.

The CD will be given away free with Kerrang! issue 1219, on sale July 16.

Speaking exclusively to Kerrang!, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich told the magazine how much respect the Bay Area thrashers have for the Brit metal masters.

"IRON MAIDEN are 10 per cent cooler than every other band," says Ulrich.

"From their relationship with their fans, to their album covers to their stages, to their live presentation, to their photos whatever they did was always cooler than what everyone else did!

I have always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them and obviously getting a chance to be part of this CD feels like that has come a full circle.

We played 'Remember Tomorrow' as it was basically the blueprint for songs like 'Fade To Black' and 'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)', and some of the more epic ballady type of songs that METALLICA had done later.

We put a bit of an intro on it, to give it a bit of a METALLICA stamp, and we are super pleased with how it has turned out. "

MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn is equally excited to be a part of this project.

"When I was a kid IRON MAIDEN were a very big deal to me and the influence they had on MACHINE HEAD has been huge," he reveals.

"We decided to cover 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' for this CD because it's just such a great song, in fact it's a classic!

I just love the way the vocal line goes up and down, so dramatic."

Metal heroes TRIVIUM, are happy to admit their own brand of heavy riffage could never have existed without MAIDEN's worldwide influence.

"IRON MAIDEN helped create what we know as heavy metal," states frontman Matt Heafy.

"Their influence can be heard on classic and contemporary bands alike; their fanbase spans across the youngest and newest of heavy music recruits all the way to the diehard, life-long metal elite.

We chose to play the track 'Iron Maiden' off their first album, as the song that screamed out our love for them musically, and we knew it would be a really fun song to jam out in the studio.

It was an honour to be able to play one of IRON MAIDEN's tracks and have the opportunity to contribute to this amazing CD.

We hope everyone has as much fun listening to it as we did making it!"

Meanwhile, AVENGED SEVENFOLD who will be supporting MAIDEN at their upcoming Twickenham Stadium show on July 5 say they are "honored" to be part of this Kerrang!-arranged tribute.

"MAIDEN are by far the best live band in the world and their music is timeless," says vocalist M. Shadows.

"This also gives us a chance to expose this great song to some of our younger fans who maybe aren't as familiar with IRON MAIDEN."

The arrival of Kerrang!'s "Maiden Heaven" CD coincides with IRON MAIDEN's European leg of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour and follows on from the release of their own collection "Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of 80-89".

"MAIDEN much appreciate and are very flattered by all the time spent on this by a lot of great bands," says IRON MAIDEN's manager Rod Smallwood, "and would like to thank them, and also Kerrang!, for the honour.

The track listing for "Maiden Heaven" is as follows:

03. AVENGED SEVENFOLD - Flash Of The Blade

04. GLAMOUR OF THE KILL - 2 Minutes To Midnight

09. MADINA LAKE - Caught Somewhere In Time

Trivium is an American heavy metal band from Orlando, Florida. Formed in 1999, the group's first recording lineup included vocalist and guitarist Matt Heafy, bassist Brent Young and drummer Travis Smith. After a pair of demos, the band released its debut studio album "Ember to Inferno" in 2003, which was written entirely by Heafy. Guitarist Corey Beaulieu joined after the album's recording, and the following year Paolo Gregoletto replaced Young. The band released "Ascendancy" in 2005, which featured songwriting credits for Beaulieu and producer Jason Suecof. The album was followed the next year by "The Crusade", written by Heafy with Beaulieu and Gregoletto. Also in 2006, the band recorded a cover version of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" for the "Kerrang!" release "Remastered: Metallica's Master of Puppets Revisited".
 "Shogun" was released in 2008, credited to the whole band.


In 2019 during Star Wars Celebration, Dave Filoni revealed that Park reprised his role as Maul for the final season of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" through mo-cap performance.

# Star Wars: Clone Wars' Final Season Features Return of Darth Maul and Mandalore

### The Clone Wars' greatest battle is yet to come.

LoadingBy Jesse SchedeenUpdated: 23 Apr 2019 4:13 amPosted: 14 Apr 2019

10:21 pmStar Wars Celebration closed out the weekend with one more major panel, as director Dave Filoni and numerous members of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars cast took the stage to tease the animated series' upcoming seventh and final season.

Filoni revealed that Clone Wars will go out on one of its most ambitious story arcs yet, as Darth Maul and Ahsoka Tano return in a conflict known as the Siege of Mandalore.

It appears that Season 7's 12 episodes will be divided among three major storylines.

The first will focus on an elite Clonetrooper squadron called "Bad Batch."

These clones have genetic abnormalities that give them more distinct personalities and appearances, as ell as making them even more deadly on the field of battle.

The four episodes comprising the "Bad Batch" story arc were actually released in rough, unfinished form on the official Star Wars website back in 2015, but Filoni noted that the animation has been significantly improved since then.64

remainder of the season looks to revolve heavily around Ahsoka, who was last seen in the Season 5 finale parting ways with her master and the Jedi Order.

Filoni and actress Ashley Eckstein emphasized that Season 7 will help bridge the gap between earlier Clone Wars seasons and Ahsoka's later appearances in Star Wars Rebels."We see her in Rebels and she's come so far.

But we have to go back to that place where she's kind of lost," said Eckstein.

She also revealed that she had a difficult time getting back into the voice and mindset of this younger Ahsoka after spending so long perfecting the older, Rebels-era version.

The second Season 7 story arc will focus on the fugitive Ahsoka as she returns to the bowels of Coruscant and meets two sisters named Trace and Araba.

At east some of this storyline will take place on the fabled Level 1313, which was to have been the setting of the canceled video game Star Wars 1313.Finally

, the series will wrap up with the massive Siege of Mandalore storyline.

Based on the footage screened at the panel, Ahsoka will be temporarily reuniting with Anakin to take part in the Republic's efforts to liberate Mandalore.

We even see Captain Rex and his troops decorating their armor in orange paint as tribute to their former commander.

LoadingThese final episodes will bring back fan-favorites Darth Maul and Bo Katan, with both Sam Witwer and Katee Sackhoff reprising their respective roles.

The Season 7 trailer teases a major showdown between Ahsoka and Maul, the latter of whom is bemused not to be facing off against Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Filoni also showed off new concept art for Maul, showing him wearing a costume reminiscent of the one seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Filoni revealed that these episodes will feature some of the most elaborate lightsaber sequences in the series' already impressive history.

In fact, Filoni brought in actor Ray Park to perform motion capture for the lightsaber battles.

That makes Clone wars the second time Park and Witwer have joined forces to bring Maul to life after Solo: A Star Wars Story.

For more Star Wars Celebration fun, here's everything we've learned so far about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
