(hennemusic) Pearl Jam debuted a new song, "Moline", during their show in the Illinois city of the same name on Friday. At the start of the band's first encore, Eddie Vedder arrived on stage with his acoustic guitar and explained the origins of the tune.

"It literally was written about 10 minutes�.it was finished right before we walked out here," explained the singer. "But now we've played all those songs and I've had just a little bit of wine - just a litte bit - so just give me one second to learn it and I'll be right with you."

Chickenfoot Reunite At Sammy Hagar Birthday Bash
(hennemusic) Chickenfoot reunited to perform the encore at Sammy Hagar's belated birthday bash concert on Saturday at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.

The group played "Sexy Little Thing" from their 2009 debut and "Big Foot" from 2011's "Chickenfoot III" before being joined by Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger for Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" - featuring Jason Bonham on drums and Chad Smith on guitar.

The evening wrapped with a version of Zeppelin's "Rock And Roll." This summer, guitarist Joe Satriani shared an update on the status of Chickenfoot, saying that a third album by the band will happen.

"It is in the pipeline," said Satriani. "Everyone's got demos, everyone's excited. I don't know about the schedule though. That is still - as usual - in the chaotic Chickenfoot state."

Watch video from the show including the Chickenfoot songs, Kroeger and Led Zeppelin jams here.

Lost Paul McCartney & Wings TV Ad Goes Online
(Radio.com) The '70s have been coming back in pop culture over the past few years, with American Hustle, now Inherent Vice and especially on the runway, but a recently-surfaced ad for Paul McCartney's band Wings is the best capsule of the zany time.

Shot by Saturday Night and Sunday Morning director Karel Reisz to promote the band's 1975 album Venus and Mars, the TV ad consists of a smoky pool game where McCartney and co. sport some very timely fashions.

In his cross-tie and white shirt, the former Beatle looks like he could have emerged from the runway of Saint Laurent's spring 2013 show - for which, now judging from this, he could have been in part the inspiration.

As the album's lead single "Listen to What the Man Says" plays, McCartney dances around the pool table and the group start playing a game of snooker. Other songs from the album - "You Gave Me the Answer," "Treat Her Gently" and the title track - also soundtrack the one-minute ad.

Fall Out Boy Recruit Rick Ross For New Video
(Radio.com) Fall Out Boy take it way, way back - centuries, we'll say - in their new music video for "Centuries." In the video, the band depicts the era of the gladiator. All four members play competitors in a massive coliseum who must square off against a brute of a fellow gladiator - as both commoners and some of society's elite look on.

Perhaps they would have stood some chance against someone more their size, but the members of the band are defeated one by one by their opponent, who's clearly a mismatch for them.

But in a twist at the end, Fall Out Boy realize they might have a shot after all, thanks to a mysterious helper. Oh, and their next opponent is Rick Ross. "Getting back up. Dusting it off. My dad used to tell me the most important part of any of it was getting back up on the horse - I didn't grow up on a farm - but it still applied," bassist Pete Wentz said of the video in a release. "David vs. Goliath, us vs. them, you vs. the world� brains, talent and luck are great but heart will always trump them. That is the sentiment of this video."

Halestorm Fans Tattoo Devotion Surreal For Frontwoman
(Classic Rock) Halestorm's Lzzy Hale says seeing fans' tattoos with lyrics they wrote in "surreal." She tells PCM: "It's the weirdest thing in the world to write a song and then have someone tattoo it on their arm and say the song saved their life. It's surreal because we know what they mean to us but the fact they can impact and touch somebody else is crazy.

"When I'm writing about a certain subject or something I've personally gone through, it's over when the song is done. The meaning of the song evolves over time. Maybe I'm going through something completely different and all of a sudden that song means something different to me while I'm singing on stage."

The US rockers recently played the Shindig Festival in Baltimore - taking a break from their studio sessions where they're recording the follow-up to 2012's The Strange Case Of�.

Sting Presents 'Stingtones' On Fallon
(Radio.com) If Sting was to sing ringtones for your cellphone, they would not be some ordinary ringtone like marimba. According to Jimmy Fallon, these jingles would be appropriately called "Stingtones."

On last Thursday night's episode of The Tonight Show, Sting showed off his pipes turning boring old ringtones into Sting-approved new ones for those fans who want to hear his voice every time they receive a call or text.

Sting even made the xylophone ringtone sound like something off the Police's Synchronicity. But, whether you want any of these ringtones, Sting shows he's a good sport and very funny. Watch it here.

Gotthard Release C'est La Vie Video
(TeamRock Radio) Swiss rockers Gotthard have released a music video for the track C'est La Vie, which comes from their 14th album Bang! which launched earlier this year via G Records

Drummer Hena Habegger previously said the album stood up against anything they've done before - and revealed its musical style was similar to 2005 release Lipservice.

He said: "You can't really compare different albums, but if one record comes closest in sound, it is probably Lipservice, except there's more of a playful feel to Bang! The arrangements spring one or two surprises."

The band are about to embark on a tour of mainland Europe and will head to South America for seven dates in December. Watch the video here.

Singled Out: Jacob Hungsberg's Foolish Things
Today indie folk rocker Jacob Hungsberg tells us about the song "Foolish Things," which comes from his most recent EP release, the "Trade Winds EP". Here is the story:

I started writing Foolish Things over a year prior to releasing it on "Trade Winds". I wrote, and recorded a soft demo version of the song and put it up on SoundCloud. I asked followers and listeners to comment on thoughts and suggestions for the song as it was. After a week or so, I collected all the input and went back into the studio and recorded the official track. There were a couple of suggestions that I used, and in-lieu of receiving a cabasa as a gift, I added that in small portions, re-recorded vocals and re-mixed the string and piano parts. I tried not to listen to the song for a week or so, so I could come back to the song with a refreshed perspective. I re-mixed once again and then mastered it and that's the way it is today.

Lyrics were formed from a relationship I was in for a while and after enough time I started asking myself why I was spending time with this person. Spending money on dinners, trips, gifts etc... and thinking about all of the time that I spent with this girl that I would never get back. Foolish things in my mind. It was my own fault that it dragged out as long as it did, and my own fault that I didn't get out of the situation earlier, but it ended up being great material for a song. Generally I don't write personal songs, but I figured this would be a great opportunity.

I recorded the acoustic parts with a D-15 Martin acoustic. The string and piano parts were grabbed from a KORG, while using Neumann and Electro Voice microphones to record the vocals. I use Pro Tools software with a smaller 003 Digidesign interface, all within a home-made studio in Loveland, Colorado. Thanks for listening to my story!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself right here!
