Check out the Top 20 list here.
The band played "Man In The Box", from their 1990 debut "Facelift", and "Would?" from 1992's sophomore album, "Dirt." "It's an honor to be asked to take part in anything to do with the Seahawks," said guitarist and longtime fan Jerry Cantrell before the event. "I'm always happy to show up and lend a helping hand, absolutely." The Seahawks won the game 28-22 in overtime after a miracle comeback saw the team rebound from 19-7 deficit with just four minutes left in regulation time. The team will defend their Super Bowl title against the New England Patriots at Super Bowl 49 in Glendale, Arizona on February 1. Watch Alice in Chains full performance here.
Each group will issue their own versions of the tune. The KISS edition will present three newly recorded tracks including a lead track and each off vocal version in a package totaling six tunes. The Momoiro Clover Z edition will feature two newly recorded tracks including a lead track and each off vocal version, plus a music video of the lead track. The Japanese pop band will open for KISS on March 3 at the Tokyo Dome, the final show of the band's 5-date Japanese tour. Check out the video here.
The video's director Ievgenii Nozhechkin had this to say about the new clip, "I wanted to show the music of Emmure as something that does not have an end, that it goes deep inside every single person, and something that will be alive after us. "Art touches the hearts and souls of so many people so it cannot be stopped or destroyed. Additional details of the video are destroying the pieces of art as a strong symbol of destruction of the past inside of you. Destroying the old, we enable a new birth." Watch the video here Emmure are launching their tour with Suicide Silence on February 17th in Santa Cruz, CA. You can grab the dates for the North American trek here.
The vocalist previously said that he was originally planning to release the new material as a solo album but had a change of heart when recording started. He said: "Inside The Vertigo was supposed to be my next solo album and I decided it sounded too much like a band, more so than a solo effort. "So we simplified it by taking my last name as has been done through history with Van Halen, with Daughtry, with Dio, Dokken, Winger - so many other bands that used one person's name." Check out the preview here.
The 10-date run will see Extreme performing the album in its entirety alongside with a greatest hits set. The band's second album, "Extreme II: Pornograffitti (A Funked Up Fairy Tale)", put Extreme on the map; it featured two hit singles, "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted" - both acoustic-based numbers - while most of the album was a mix of hard rock and funk. The Boston rockers are syncing up the tour with this week's release of an expanded, deluxe reissue of their 1990 album. The 2CD set includes a bonus disc of B-sides, edits, remixes and acapellas, including four versions of their US No. 1 hit, "More Than Words." Check out video from the tour kick off here.
"What a way to end the tour in Australia and New Zealand," says Mick Jagger. Keith Richards adds, "It's a great place to play and the other great thing about Australia and New Zealand is that it's summer�but it's winter at home." The Australian tour opened in Adelaide on October 25 and saw a show at Hanging Rock cancelled when Jagger took ill; the trek wrapped up in Auckland on November 22. The fall shows down under were rescheduled from spring following the sudden passing of Jagger's longtime girlfriend, L'Wren Scott, on March 17. Check out the video here.
And the new blood has given Reef a renewed focus, according to the singer. He tells BandApp: "In April we auditioned for a new guitarist and have found a beaut in Jesse Wood. He learnt a stack of songs, we played a few festivals through the summer and by the autumn we were writing new songs. "It couldn't have gone any better really. He gets a great sound and is a top man. Having a different guitar player with his own style adds a new dynamic to the band and it feels fresh." Read more here.
The recordings, which have been newly remixed and remastered, were originally due to be released after Gov't Mule's Life Before Insanity in 2000 but plans were shelved following the death of bassist Allen Woody the same year. Now the album will launch later this month on 2CD, double 180g vinyl and on digital formats and features original tracks, James Brown covers and songs by John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter. It's currently available to pre-order with those purchasing early receiving three bonus tracks. Sco-Mule have lined up a 12-date US tour which starts in Seattle on February 18. Check out song here.
Speaking about the video, the band say: "Where The Things Have No Colour has a very personal meaning to us. This song talks about certain moments, it's hard to explain them but if you felt like this once in your life you will find the lyrics extremely familiar. We talked a lot about the possibility of making an acoustic version of one of our songs, and this felt like being the perfect occasion. "Our biggest thanks goes to Larsen Premoli who arranged the strings trio and made this version possible. This video is dedicated to all the people and friends involved in our project, who always support us during tours, recording sessions, video making, bullsh*t and everything that concerns the band's universe. You know who you are. We hope you're going to enjoy this version, even if it sounds a bit different from our standards. We wish you all an amazing 2015!" Check it out here.
This song came to me when I was just unbelievably exhausted from a series of back to back to back tours - it started in Europe with The Aristocrats, then I flew from Athens, Greece to Fargo, ND (I may be the only person who's ever done that routing) for a U.S. tour with Dethklok, and then flew straight to Vladivostok, Russia for a few more Aristocrats dates. I got home from all of that jetagged to hell and sick on top of it, and I only had a few days to write one last song for The Aristocrats' upcoming recording session for our last album Culture Clash�and after a few hours of frustration, this super-aggressive metal-flavored song is what came out. I'm always a bit leery of songs complaining about the lifestyle of rock stardom - after all, it was done about as well as it could be done on Pink Floyd's The Wall, right? - so while I sarcastically called it "Living The Dream", ultimately I wanted it to encompass everything about the crazy lifestyle of touring: The lows, the highs, and the just plain indescribable. It ended up being our set closer on the last tour, and it's the final track on both the CD and DVD of our new live album Culture Clash Live. Truth be told, a bit of the music itself was inspired by the Strapping Young Lad song "Skeksis" from what I think is SYL's best album, Alien. If you ever want to be truly scared by music, that album stands alone to me as one of the most terrifying things I've ever heard. Terrifying, and also genius. I thought to myself, what if we could somehow combine that scary metal vibe with the Aristocrats trio vibe? And that's how the song was born. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
