With Metal Blade now at our side, it feels like we made the World Series! I'll quote John Lennon from ‘A Hard Day's Night' and ask the loyal rivetheads out there, ‘Did we pass the audition?'"

DevilDriver bassist Jon Miller removed himself from the band's early 2011 tours in order to undergo rehab. He has posted the following statement, for fans:

 "Regarding the past 2 European tours, I was either forced to leave by my own accord or asked to leave by my band/managment.

 I have been touring with DevilDriver for almost the past ten years and the drugs and alcohol have finally caught up with me. I realized this when I ended up in the ICU on my birthday last week.

 I need to make a change so that I can save my own life and keep the friends that I still have left.
 I know that alot of DevilDriver fans seek me out first as the one to party with because I consider myself a very social person who is quite outgoing, personable and friendly.

 That was all fun in my 20′s touring with the band, but as I am entering my early 30′s I can feel the damage catching up with me mentally and physically. I don't want to burn out prematurely before my time on this Earth is up.

 On January 1st I will be entering an intense rehabilitation program in order for me to reclaim my health and the person who I once was.

 I will not be doing the Canadian tour in January or the Australian tour in February and March. This is for my own good. I need to come out of rehab with a sound body and mind. After I complete my rehabilitation I hope to see all DevilDriver friends and family as soon as I can."

In addition to that statement, details for the special edition of DevilDriver‘s forthcoming album, Beast, were revealed. The CD/DVD special edition, which is due out on February 22, will feature three bonus tracks along with the band's documentary You May Know Us From The Stage and a number of official music videos. The three bonus tracks are:

"Lost"
"Fortune Favors The Brave"
"Grinfucked" (live)

The album track "Black Soul Choir", which is scheduled to appear on both the standard and deluxe editions, a 16 Horsepower cover.

It's so weird that it's been four solid years of putting this news report together ever week. We've been through a lot of albums together, and I will never forget what each of you have meant to me. You might not think that this column is the greatest in the world; I'll be the first to admit that it's not. But I've had a lot of fun and I've grown up so much since I started.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this and given me a chance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. See you in the top five!
