Five Finger Death Punch have revealed that guitarist Zoltan has been missing since Friday night’s show in Las Vegas. According to the band, he has not responded to calls, text messages, or emails, and he was last seen around 2:00am Friday night at Wasted Space in the Hard Rock Casino, taking tequila shots at the bar with a group of guys from a bachelor party who came to the show. The band asks if you have any information as to his whereabouts, please email ffdp@prospectpk.com immediately

Five Finger Death Punch have streamed their entire new album ‘War Is the Answer‘ exclusively right here on TuneLab.com. The album hits stores tomorrow.

Stone Temple Pilots front-man Scott Weiland experienced a mild seizure during an airplane flight earlier today. He suffered the seizure while flying from Los Angeles to Miami and the plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

Apparently Weiland has a history of seizures, but was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures.

Guitar Hero CEO Dan Rosensweig was asked by NME.com about the controversy surrounding the avatar of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain included in Guitar Hero 5, which can be made to sing songs by artists like Bon Jovi and Bush. Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, has threatened legal action against the company, while the surviving members of Nirvana have also expressed their disapproval. Rosensweig, however, said, "I do know that there's absolutely a contract and we know that the check has been cashed. I can only deal with the facts. It's very clear what the terms are."

Regarding the statement by Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, Rosensweig added, "We care about the artists more than anyone else and we would like to make artists happy in every circumstance. I'm disappointed in this case that there seems to be confusion between the band and the estate. It's really not Guitar Hero's confusion. We went and spoke directly to the estate and made it crystal clear, got the rights, paid for the rights, and really we've done what we've always done. The fact that the rest of the band and the estate did not communicate . . . I can't speak for everybody being happy."

Neither Love, Grohl nor Novoselic have commented on Rosensweig's remarks yet.

Meanwhile, Jon Bon Jovi has come down on the side of Nirvana and Love, telling the BBC, "I don't know that I would have wanted it either. To hear someone else's voice coming out of a cartoon version of me? I don't know. It sounds a little forced."

Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington may be gearing up for the October 13th release of Out Of Ashes, the debut disc from his side band Dead By Sunrise, but Linkin Park itself is also hard at work on a new record. Bennington gave us some early hints on what to expect and who's involved: "It's actually really, really good. We're really experimenting a lot with sounds and time signatures, structures, and it's really promising. We're working with Rick Rubin again and he's great. So, you know, I think people can really expect a record that they can put some headphones on and take a little trip."

Linkin Park's next album is expected out in mid-2010 and will follow up 2007's Minutes To Midnight.

Bennington assembled Dead By Sunrise with members of the band Julien-K and other musicians. He told Billboard.com that he expects to issue a new Dead By Sunrise record "every five years or so."

The group has yet to announce tour plans, but has released a video for the album's first single, "Crawl Back In."
