A rough-mix version of the studio recording was e-mailed to members of Metallica's official fan club�and has surfaced online. "We're pretty excited to be bringing these songs back to life nearly four years after they were recorded," said Metallica. "Once again, this is the unpolished version of the song... the original rough mix from March of 2008 in its rawest, untouched form."

The footage shows Kravitz being one angry dude � at everything around him. From traffic to tourists to kites to flooring, Lenny doesn't hold anything back.

We were sent this approved lineup announcement: "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's influence on the music community can never be fully estimated, but if the collection of artists and players at this year's DimeBash 2011 is any indication, his legacy is as far-reaching and deeper than ever before.

Ozzy Osbourne was back in England at his Buckinghamshire home, enjoying a day off from promoting his new duet with daughter Kelly. Taking a ride in the country on his ATV four-wheeler, Ozzy crashed, breaking his collarbone, eight ribs and a vertebra in his neck.

"I'd been racing along this dirt trail and my front wheels hit a pothole," Ozzy told Wales Online. "The bike shot out from under me and did a back flip in the air, throwing me on to the grass. For about a millionth of a second, I thought, 'Oh well, that wasn't so bad'. Then the whole lot landed on top of me. Crack!"

Ozzy's broken ribs proved exceptionally dangerous after doctors discovered that his lungs had started to fill with blood. There was also a chance he could lose an arm since a main artery had been severed.

When asked if he thinks all five Appetite for Destruction-era members of Guns N' Roses will show up for the induction, Adler told Rolling Stone, "Absolutely not. But, as far as I know, there is a God and a higher power, and it's possible. Unfortunately, I don't foresee it. You figure that time could heal all wounds, but some people just REALLY hold a crazy grudge."

Axl Rose seems cool with Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin and Adler. The hope is that he'll patch things up with guitar great Slash. "He should be cool with Slash!" Adler exclaimed. "The real shame about the ending of the Guns N' Roses when I got kicked out wasn't just that I got kicked out, but Slash and Axl stopped working together. They are the Keith Richards and the Mick Jagger! The Steven Tyler and Joe Perry!

"It's tough to say. I don't want to. I feel that this is in my blood. But it's very much possible that we're not able to keep up at a certain point. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about that. I don't know when that's gonna be. I don't want it to be now. I don't want it to be today�So I don't want to say that this is the last one, but we're not getting any younger. It certainly could be. We all know that someday this is gonna end. If we can't put something together that is somehow an evolution or is somehow better than what we've done, then we should really just stop, because the albums that we have done are all good in their own way. We're very proud of [the band] and we don't want to water down whatever legacy there is."

BRITs chairman David Joseph told Music Week : "Blur are as popular today as they have always been. They've always felt like the new guard, constantly pushing the boundaries, but incredibly it is 20 years since the release of Leisure, their first album. I've long felt they would be worthy winners � their contribution to British music is immense."

The ex-Beatle was shot and killed December 8, 1980, at age 40 in New York by a man named Mark David Chapman at the entry to the building where he lived.

Sh*t. I was hoping never to have to share this story beyond the obscured lyrical telling. It was one of those lovers, the ones who torment you. The dark ones whose minds you can't read. I'd been waiting for him to call for a month or so. And of course I had plans to meet up with someone new who had caught my interest. Just when you think it'll never happen, he calls drunk at 3am while I'm asleep... When I saw his name I was too pissed to pick up the phone. So I waited to see if he left a message, and he did, and I checked it immediately. All he said after a month of nothing was..."I saw something today that reminded me of you. A coal truck crashed into a freight train and everything was on fire." Disambiguation of that sentence could mean drastically different things. But I knew what he meant. Our story got pretty complicated...infidelity and mistrust.

Four years later when I started writing the song I tried to tell the story of that relationship, but that was uninteresting to me by that time. Instead I tried to imagine a scenario in which those words could be a compliment not a torment. I felt very vulnerable asking the questions I would have asked if I could have at the time. My good friend Kristin helped me craft things in the end to make them feel singable... like I wasn't exposing some frail embarrassing part of myself. The feel of the track is intentionally happier than the story...maybe I was hopeful that some day I'd feel free from the angst of those kind of connections.

We started by me just strumming the fiddle and singing. It was just Sam Amidon, Matt Malikowski and me in the studio at the beginning. He played the weird off beat B3 part and played three banjo solos that we layered together. I loved the almost African pop vibe we were getting. When we went into the studio to finish the record Neil Cleary had this image of the world's biggest shaker being the center of the groove.
