Aerosmith Preview Concert Film Ahead Of Theatrical Release

"It's always an absolute hoot that leaves me howling at the moon, performing at Donington we couldn't have had a better time on stage that night," says Steven Tyler. "I could feel the vibes of all the greats pulsing through the stage like AC DC, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica and so many more."

"We have played Donington many times but this performance was one of our best," said Joe Perry. "Thanks to our fans who were there who helped us make it a night to remember. We are proud to have it be part of this theatrical series and it will give our fans who weren't there around the world a chance to relive an ass kicking night of rock and roll."

Blackberry Smoke Stream New Song 'Rock And Roll Again'

Blackberry Smoke have also announced that they will be supporting the album release with the launch of a US tour on February 6 and remain on the road until May 9.

Fall Out Boy Admit They're 'Too Pop For Rock And Too Rock For Pop'

And he reveals the band expect to write and record new music with Khalifa, which could see the light of day before the Boys Of Zummer tour begins in June. Wentz tells Canoe.ca: "It feels sometimes like Fall Out Boy is an island right now. We're too pop for rock and too rock for pop. Where do we fit into the whole thing?

"And looking at Wiz Khalifa, it kind of looks like a similar situation to him as far as hip hop and where he stands within it. He's kind of in hip hop but he's kind of in pop, and when you have a foot in both worlds it's like you have a foot in neither.

"So it just made sense for us. And we're going to do some music together that will hopefully get out before summer." Read more here.

ZZ Top Rock Jimmy Kimmel

You might remember the song from its use in a memorable commercial for Jeremiah Weed, a company that specializes in whiskey-based drinks. But the song itself has its origins with a substance even more mind-altering than booze.

It's not quite a cover, but "I Gotsta Get Paid" draws heavily from "25 Lighters," a song by Texas hip-hop artist DJ DMD, an ode the practice of gutting Bic lighters to hide crack cocaine in them. DJ DMD and his collaborators on the track, Fat Pat and Lil Keke, each got co-songwriting credit on the ZZ Top track. The song, and the entire La Futura album was produced by Rick Rubin, someone who knows a little something about combining rock and hip-hop.

ZZ didn't just sing about the joys of crack espionage on Kimmel, though. For those who aren't familiar with their newer material, they also rocked their ode the female booty, "Tush."

Beth Hart Previews New Album 'Better Than Home'

The 11-track title is described as "highly emotional" but it's not an exploration of Hart's notoriously troubled life, which has seen her fighting against bipolar disorder, drink and drug addictions and a difficult upbringing.

Provogue say: "Instead, Beth chooses to find the good things that have been there all along - accepting and loving her parents for who they really are, appreciating a good husband, facing her fears head-on, and ultimately finding ways to heal and convert that positive energy into music that moves people.

"This is an incredibly moving record that's going to reach people on a very personal level, because a one-of-a-kind artist found the perfect formula for exposing her very private inner voice and empowering it with her legendary outer voice."
