Nickelback Hit Goes To Hell

The Hell have released this cover version of Nickelback's breakthrough record How You Remind Me. Of course this being The Hell, there are some differences in the lyrics.

But now it seems Nickelback have seen the video and aren't pleased - as their Twitter account allegedly stated. Although it appears the tweet has now been deleted, The Hell took a screengrab and posted it on their Facebook for all to see.

See the post, The Hell's response and their cover of the song here.

David Bowie's New Song Streaming Online

For fans who were worried that just two new tracks wouldn't be enough to quench their appetite for new material, fear not: it's nearly seven-and-a-half minutes long.

"Sue" finds lush, jazzy instrumentation beneath Bowie's vocals, which at least feel as freeform as much of what's going on around him. Swift percussion keeps the beat as saxophones, bass, trumpets and other instruments - all part of the Maria Schneider Orchestra - both solo and provide a bass framework for the track.

"Sue" will be flanked by the song "Tis a Pity She's a Whore" as its B-side. Both will be included on a 10-inch single for Record Store Day on Nov. 28, following the full release of Nothing Has Changed on Nov. 18. The album includes new and unreleased material from Bowie's decades-long career.

Corey Taylor Explains Difference Between Slipknot and Stone Sour

Speaking to his namesake on Las Vegas show Corey Taylor Talks, he says: "I think a lot of it comes down to my voice. Like, there's a lot of people that think when I sing heavy with Stone Sour that I'm trying to do Slipknot. And then vice versa - when I sing more melodic with Slipknot, I'm trying to be more Stone Sour."

He adds: "And it's, like, but you're not hearing the music, you're putting everything together. Like The Devil In I, a lot of people compared it to Stone Sour because a lot of it is melodic until it gets to that chorus and it punches.

"And I'm, like, 'Not really.' It's Slipknot music so it's a Slipknot song. And I think it's because a lot of people, for better or for worse, choose the easy way to figure out what they're thinking about, or what their opinion is." Read more here.

Bob Seger Streaming New Song Ride Out

"I feel really good about this record," says Seger. "This album touches on how I think a lot of us feel about finding our place in a more complicated world - from how we appreciate things as simple and pure as love, to navigating through the corruption and violence that permeates the news. It sums up a lot of feelings I have about a variety of subjects."

The singer will launch a North American tour November 19 in Saginaw, Michigan, with shows scheduled through to February 2015. The J. Geils Band will join Seger as a special guest in select markets.

Seger will launch the album with a performance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight (Oct 14). Check out the new song here.

Billy Idol Unplugs At CBGB Music Festival

The unplugged set featured "White Wedding", "Kiss Me Deadly", "Eyes Without A Face" and "Rebel Yell." Prior to the performance, Idol was interviewed on stage by Timothy Sommer about his newly-released autobiography, "Dancing With Myself."

During the interview, the singer recalled the era of CBGB and the punk scene that was happening in NYC in the mid '70s through early '80s. "When I first saw The Sex Pistols they were doing a Tuesday night residency some place with hardly anyone there!", said Idol. "They were doing mostly covers then, mostly The Who songs or Small Faces, and Johnny would take the lyrics and instead of singing 'I want you to know that I love you baby' he'd sing 'I want you to know that I hate you baby'. And I think it just revolutionized how songs could be presented, and how you could make negativity positive, it was fantastic."

"We had really been into Velvet Underground and The New York Dolls, who were influencing artists like David Bowie and then Iggy & The Stooges and MC5," he continued. "So I knew about all that. By the late '70s we would hear and see The Ramones, Blondie, and The Talking Heads at CBGB. We loved what was going on in New York. That's why we wanted to get into punk rock because we knew very much it was all being inspired by what was going on in New York. New York was not only the mecca of punk and music, but living in England, you knew this is where so much great music had come from."

Prog Supergroup Flying Colors Release New Video

Neal Morse, Steve Morse, Mike Portnoy, Dave LaRue and Casey McPherson play their only UK show of the year at London's Islington Assembly Hall on October 13.

Drummer Portnoy recently said: "The first album was very much a blind date. This time there was an existing chemistry - we not only had the prior experiences of making the debut album, but also the 2012 tour as well. Direction was never discussed; we just did what we do."

Royal Blood Release Ten Tonne Skeleton Video

Bassist/singer Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher use no guitars on the album, with Kerr feeding his bass through multiple amps to achieve their sound - something he previously insisted wasn't a new technique.

He said: "The bass and drum thing isn't new and neither is using more than one amp. Even with people I look up to like Jack White or Josh Homme, their sounds and a big portion of what they do is borrowed. They put their own stamp on it and that's what makes a good idea. That's something I still aspire to be able to do."

Jimmy Barnes Previews New Album

Barnes recently said: "These songs are important to me. I wouldn't change the essence of them - but I didn't bring in all these great artists to tell them what to do. It was like, 'What are we going to do with this and have fun?' They sound like new songs; they're fresh to sing."

Hindsight is released on October 27 via Provogue Records in standard CD and digital formats, plus a 180g vinyl edition limited to 1000 pressings. Listen to the preview here.

Robert Plant Performs On The Colbert Report

"My quest is a long one and it has no end. It's a wonderful thing to do and it's surrounded by great people. And I brought you a little present from our stock room," says Plant as he dips into his front shirt pocket and pulls out what looks like a joint. "I think it's one of the accessories of not quite being a knight in the British Empire, but on the way."

"What is that?" asked the Comedy Central host. "I'm not� let's find out what this is later, shall we? And for the purposes of my lawyer and the network, this is a cigarette."

Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters then played the album's lead single, "Rainbow", on the program and recorded a web-exclusive performance of "Little Maggie."

The singer wrapped up an 8-date theatre tour of North America in New York on Thursday. Watch video of Plant's appearance on Colbert here.

Lonely The Brave Release The Blue, The Green Video

Guitarist Mark Trotter says of the track: "Our favourite songs are the ones that you take as your own. Songs that remind you of a place, a time, or a moment."

The band recently asked fans to contribute to an alternative take on the new single. They posted tab and sheet music on their official website and wanted people to record individual sections. These will now be mixed to create a new version of the track which will launch on November 10.

The band are currently on tour with Marmozets across the UK. They'll then hit the road with Deaf Havana for seven dates in December. See the dates and watch the video here.

Singled Out: Christian Lopez Band's Between Us

I guess I lived the life of an average teenager. I hated school, felt rebellious in my own ways, and did my best at impressing the beauties walking down the halls of Martinsburg High. I thought it was ridiculous that from 5 years old to 17, your schooling defined you, and doing what you were told was what you'd have to live by. I just had to play the game. It wasn't until I got my license when things started to take a turn. I discovered the beauty of leaving and going wherever I pleased, and though I was only 16, I felt so liberated. When I entered my final year of high school, I was exposed to the one thing that would change me forever. The one thing that literally hypnotize me and have complete control over my body and mind: a girl.

With these two things combined, my license to drive and that curly haired beauty in the passenger seat, I felt unstoppable. My academic career moved to the back seat, and what I has suspected was buried deep inside of me began to show. Mischievousness took over my senior year, and the two of us would skip classes to go and discover each other. With ma and pa working their nine to five, we had the run of the house.

With many close calls from both sets of parents, we embraced our youthful, energetic romance, and we look back at those days with half a grin and jokes that only make sense to us. We still recall the secret codes and precautions we took, and the pride of being successful rule breakers. And I'm sure that when she reads this, she'll be thinking the same thing I am: no regrets. And yes, she is still around.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
