Justin McBrain, son of Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, was picked up by the Palm Beach County Sherriff's Office on Friday (April 26) for alleged burglary and theft.
A little constructive criticism never hurts, but Geoff Tate is ready to confront some full-on hate head-on with a new contest.

No one can ever accuse Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson of not pursuing his passions outside of rock music. In addition to being a pilot and brewer, Dickinson has also shown a love of fencing throughout his life. He recently participated in a warm-up session against Bartosz Piasecki, who won the silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
It's a confusing time for Disturbed fans, who are watching the band's members begin to find success with other projects. John Moyer has been playing bass for Adrenaline Mob, who've already released a full album and covers EP. David Draiman has one of the most hyped projects of the year with Device, who just released their debut disc.
