The surviving Bee Gees are eyeing a return to the stage - five years after the death of their brother and band-mate Maurice Gibb.

Gibb passed away in 2003 at the age of 53 after suffering complications from a twisted intestine - and his death devastated his two siblings Robin and Barry.

The pair only played one show together after their brother died, preferring instead to focus on their solo work.

But now Robin has admitted that the emotional wounds are slowly healing and they are now preparing to make a comeback as a duo.

However, he admits they are likely to stick to their decision to retire the Bee Gees name out of respect for their late brother.

He says: "We decided that on an emotional level at that point. Whether or not that will change, we don't know. It's a personal thing and we'll do it when the time is right. So it's not a no, it's just emotionally when it's right."

British rock band Def Leppard have announced they will play a single New Zealand show in November.

Def Leppard will perform at Auckland's Vector Arena on November 14, supported by Australian act The Galvatrons.

It will be their first show in New Zealand since 1992.

The tour will support the band's recent album, Songs From the Sparkle Lounge, but fans will probably know them more for earlier albums like Pyromania, Hysteria and Adrenalize.

Their biggest singles are Pour Some Sugar On Me, Love Bites, Rocket, Rock Of Ages, Armageddon It and Let�s Get Rocked.

The band's drummer, Rick Allen, famously only has one arm.

Tickets for the show go on sale on July 9.

Metallica's new album will be titled Death Magnetic and is expected in September.

The news was revealed over the weekend via the band's website, www.metallica.com.

No new material has been played live at the band's handful of recent shows, but British journalists have heard rough mixes of six untitled songs, several of which cross the seven-minute mark.

Death Magnetic (Warner Bros.) was produced by Rick Rubin and is the follow-up to 2003's St Anger, which has sold 1.76 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Following its Friday headlining slot at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee, the band is taking a month off before hitting the European festival circuit through late July.

Music giant Universal Music Group has lost a court battle to stop an eBay trader from reselling promotional CDs he had bought from second hand stores. Troy Augusto makes money by snapping up rare albums and selling them on the online auction site. Universal accused him of copyright infringement, saying some of the items he offered were promotional copies and not authorised for sale to the public. But a US judge ruled that Mr Augusto had the right to sell the CDs.

Around The Traps
The new JOURNEY album 'Revelation' is getting good feedback, and good sales through the Billboard Charts. The band are currently on tour throughout the UK and Europe, and things are going well.Not going so well is the ambitious and totally over blown JUDAS PRIEST album 'Nostradamus'. Feedback across the Internet isn't that flash unfortunately - despite the apparent huge marketing push by their label. Not quite sure if the band and their fans are reading off the same page.. mmm..
We have a handful of continental European releases coming our way shortly. From France, we reacquaint ourselves with melodic metallers ALKEMYST who made such a big impression on us back in 2003 with their Nuclear Blast release 'Meeting In The Mist'. Their newie is called 'Through Painful Lanes'.LA metallers SILENT RAGE release their brand new album and first in five years - 'Four Letter Word'.
More news as we hear it..

Interviews
Coming up shortly we have interviews with Mario Percudani from Italian rockers HUNGRY HEART, we speak with Greek vocalist JOHN JEFF TOUCH, and talk about his debut album 'First Touch', and we are in the process of putting together a two-part interview with new sensations MARCELLO VESTRY.
