According to Guns N' Roses and Sixx:A.M. guitarist DJ Ashba, it's on their minds. "Axl has so many songs up his sleeve from the Chinese Democracy era," said the 38-year-old, in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock. "He has three albums of really amazing stuff. He's played me quite a bit of it. It's really good."

Now, drummer Nick Mason has revealed that more of the special editions (which feature alternate and live tracks) will be released for other Floyd albums. Could Animals be next? "We will do some more sort of in-depth versions of other albums, but I don't know what we've got in the pipeline for that, yet," he told Billboard.com.

The SuperHeavy lineup features Jagger, Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart, singer Joss Stone, composer A.R. Rahman and reggae artist Damian Marley.

"We're writing," the frontman told SPIN of the current state of Tool, adding that A Perfect Circle are also writing and "might put out a track of two" this year. "The energy is good, so there's always the potential for a future," he said.

Following his excessive rage towards Morbid Angel's "Illud Divinum Inanus" earlier this summer a new spoof, of the 2004 German film "Der Untergang/Downfall," has been made of Hitler reacting to the forthcoming new album from Swedish progressive death metallers Opeth, titled "Heritage."

"I think the record business is just like anything else � it's going to regulate itself. It's going to correct itself," Mustaine tells the Brandon Sun. "The problem is that all the pigs were in there with their hands on the steering wheel. They got what they deserved."

"I wasn't familiar with the term for quite a few years. I always looked at what we did as heavy rock," Iommi tells the BBC. "It was first mentioned to me by a journalist from a well-known magazine. He said, 'Oh, you play heavy metal.' I said, 'What? What's that?' He said, 'Well, that's what you play.'

"It's much more poignant than our other records. Life and death is a major theme," he said. "[The album] has a deep heart. Everyone in the band has grown and continued to reinvent themselves and become a better musician, and collectively we did. We were forced to."

They'd just finished work on and album they were all proud of when Seinfeld told them he was leaving. Graziadei says they had to decide at very short notice whether to continue without him.

Why did you choose to write a book about Randy Rhoads? Randy's is the quintessential rock and roll tragedy. We never saw him at his best, simply because he didn't get to live long enough to reach the peak of his talent. Although his legacy has been celebrated with the occasional release�and, of course, his music lives on�there has never been a really in-depth book about him that goes deep into his talent as a guitarist. That was my objective, and�thanks largely to the many kind people (such as your good self!) who helped out�I'm hoping I got it right.

As you were researching Randy's life and career, what was the biggest surprise? Apart from the fact that he'd never used a whammy bar until he got his Sandoval V�he was all over the place with it at first�he used to double-track a lot of his solos so precisely that you'd never be able to hear the second track!

Well known for campaigning on Internet copyright issues ("It's like the gold rush out there. Or a carjacking. There's no boundaries."), Prince is no fan of digital music.

The three part interview is set to premiere on Corey Taylor's official website, www.thecoreytaylor.com, on July 5th.

He was born Geoffrey Arnold Beck to Arnold and Ethel Beck in Wallington, England on this day in 1944. One of his first musical memories was hearing Les Paul and Mary Ford play "High How the Moon" on television.

"I think I was six. We're talking about 1950. And there was a signature tune to a weekly [program], 'How High to the Moon,'" Beck told Gibson.com in 2010. "And I remember sitting up and listening to it at night and my mom said, 'Don't get too excited, it's all done with tricks.' [Laughs] So that was first introduction to it. And from the minute she told me not to take it serious, I took it seriously."

Crafted in the image of the original Explorer of 1958 � a guitar that was blindingly ahead of its time back in the day � and graced with an original blend of Sammy's Red Rocker and Chickenfoot styling, the Sammy Hagar Explorer is an eye-catching axe from every angle, and equipped for everything from searing to sublime tonal adventures, too.

The musical alias of Philadelphia-based multi-instrumental Colin Frangicetto, Psychic Babble has created a strikingly confident album that is an ode to his love of melody, reverb, harmonies, classic songwriting and experimentation.

Poor Millionaire is one of the heaviest most straight up songs that was written for Leveler. It is the track that probably best represents the name of the album. I don't remember much about the actual writing of this song. What I do remember is the process of us pulling the song together as a band.

This was the first song we played together as a band when we started putting the finishing touches on each song. We started playing this song together on the Fall AP Tour in Oct/Nov 2010. Everyday during sound check we'd run through this song and work on tweaking parts of it. I remember in Pomona, CA at the Fox Theatre we had a lot of extra time to sound check. We ended up working on this song for a good hour and a half, scrutinizing every little part, every single drum hit. It was fun to basically write and practice on a beautiful stage with a huge PA.

Jake wrote the lyrics to this song. They're about a man who is wealthy on the outside, but is unhappy and a complete faker. He may have everything materialistically, but he's a waste of space bringing those around him down in order to try to make himself feel whole. The lyrics are pretty angry for us and at one point Jake screams "you bastard!" which is probably the closest to a 'bad word' ABR has ever used in a song. Controversial!
