B Sides for 11/05/2014
In 1974, McCartney teamed up with Wings to perform and film their hits and new songs for what would become the documentary One Hand Clapping. The film wasn't released until three decades later, in 2010. "Love My Baby" was one of the songs featured in the documentary sessions. Clocking in at just over a minute, the track kicks off with light bells that are reminiscent to a baby's lullaby before McCartney's familiar voice is heard. "Well, I love my baby and I want to shout/ I don't know what she's talking about," McCartney sings. "But I love my baby and it's good enough for me." Listen here.
Due November 10 (Nov 11 in North America), the project features material recorded by David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason during sessions for 1994's "The Division Bell", and serves as the band's tribute to Wright, who died from cancer in 2008 at the age of 65. The album is billed as a four-sided instrumental release with the lead single, "Louder Than Words", featuring new lyrics by Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson. This week, the group premiered the track, "Allons-y (1)". Check out the new preview video EPK here.
The gala event was held at The Avalon in Hollywood, Los Angeles, hosted by Sammy Hagar, with assistance from Billy Gibbons, Scott Ian, Henry Rollins and Monty Python icon Eric Idle. Presentations took place after live performances by Scott Weiland and the WIldabouts and Rival Sons, with California Breed playing at the interval and supergroup Kings Of Chaos - including Hagar, Gibbons, Joe Elliott and Glenn Hughes - closing the evening. Allman was presented with the Living Legend Award sponsored by Orange Amplification, joining previous recipients Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Page, Lemmy, Jeff Beck, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper and ZZ Top.

Perry tells Larry King: "I think we're seeing the end of an era, the whole MTV era when the record companies had so much power. It wasn't unusual for somebody to put out a single, sell a couple of million and sell out arenas. That type of rock'n'roll was king. "The way people receive music has changed a lot of things," he continues, saying he discovers more new music via TV than from any other medium. "But I don't think the excitement of music, and the excitement fans feel at a live performance, has gone away." Read more here.
The project brings together Elvis Costello, Mumford and Sons' Marcus Mumford, Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith, Carolina Chocolate Drops' Rhiannon Giddens and producer T Bone Burnett, who together created music for two dozen lyrics that had previously been unreleased. The lyrics were written by Dylan in 1967 after his motorcycle accident when he retreated to Big Pink and worked non-stop on music with five musicians known then as the Hawks, who later became the Band.

"I've always loved musicians like Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins, who have the balls to do spoken word performances," says Ian. "It's just them and the mike. There's no band to make them look good or cover up their mistakes. They're alone, naked. It's seemed like a really cool thing to do, but I'm not especially political and while I'm interested in a lot of different subjects from good food to great comic books, I'm not enough of an expert in any one area to get onstage and talk about it like I know any more than anyone else." "Once I got over my jitters and latched into a groove I felt like I was performing at Madison Square Garden," he continued. "The euphoria of being onstage telling stories about my life and getting an immediate reaction from the crowd was better than crystal meth� not that I've ever tried crystal meth, but I've watched enough episodes of 'Breaking Bad' to know it gets you really f***ing high." "I was making contact, they were intently listening, empathizing and laughing, not at me, but with me," he adds. "Some stories were better than others, but overall the pace, the flow, the interaction felt amazing. And while I know I'm a long way from guys like Rollins and Biafra, I felt like I had been doing this for years." The "Swearing Words In Glasgow" DVD was filmed towards the end of the tour run in Scotland, and is being funded by a PledgeMusic campaign, which has surpassed its goal with the help of dedicated fans Check out the preview videos here.
The follow-up to 2011's Unto The Locust is due for release this Monday (10th November) via Nuclear Blast in loads of different formats - from double-white vinyl to a 48-page mediabook. Frontman Robb Flynn said of the new Machine Head record: "I feel like, growing up in the Bay Area, we were exposed to so much amazing music... Everything from this incredible thrash scene to this politically charged punk rock and rap scene� and all of that bled into what Machine Head became." Machine Head are heading over to the UK this December. Check out the dates and the video here.
It features guest star Theo Travis alongside bass and backing vocals from Nick Beggs, who says: "I really like the material - it has a nice pop sound and an aspect of progressive rock I can really relate to. "It's been a very nice experience. I only work with nice people and I've stayed faithful to that." Keyboardist William Beckers says of saxophonist and flautist Travis' input: "He played some great stuff." Watch the video here.
Cavalera tells The Vinyl District: "I feel proud, especially when we do it with Cavalera Conspiracy, because it's got me and Igor, two people who were involved in the original version of the songs." On Cavalera Conspiracy's recent South American tour the band performed a medley of tracks from Sepultura's album Beneath The Remains. And during one of the shows, former Sepultura guitarist Jairo joined them onstage for a performance of Necromancer. Read more here.
He tells Ghost Cult: "We definitely want to stay a full-on death metal band. That was part of the initial objective - to be the best death metal band we could be. We don't want to really go beyond the boundaries of death metal, but we're looking for things that we haven't done before. "Around Gallery Of Suicide we avoided anything that sounded thrashy - we've stopped avoiding that recently. We're a death metal band but thrash is part of our background. If it's something that sounds really heavy, why not use it? We're willing to try to add certain outside influences as long as they work well with our sound." Read more here.
He released his self-titled debut solo album earlier this year via Napalm Records - a record featuring a guest appearance by Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. He'll now take to the road to promote it in December. Along with material from his latest release, the vocalist will feature songs from throughout his career, including tracks from Kyuss records Blues For The Red Sun, �And The Circus Leaves Town, and Welcome To Sky Valley. Joining him on the road are War Drum guitarist Honor Groban, You Know Who bassist Mike Pygmie and You Know Who and The Dwarves drummer Greg Saenz. More including the tour dates here.
We were fooling around in the rehearsal one day. Playing some goofy stuff and so on when a football player came in and started to shout "control, Control, control, there's no control!" We rehearse in a football club and I guess they lost a game or something. While the guy jumped around, banging his hands into the walls, john started to play this riff, and the banging stopped. A second later the football player stumbled in to the rehearsal room, staring at us with a kind of crazy look in his eyes. He stood like that for a few seconds, and said "YOU are in control, never forget that". Then he just walked out. We've never seen him since... We finished the song, based on the riff john came up with. The lyrics is about money, the thing that makes our world a evil place. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
