Still Remains has reformed after roughly three years after breaking up. The band has issued the following statement: "Maybe we shouldn't have called it a break-up. Maybe we needed a few years to purge the strain of having six or seven full-time roommates living in a van, and get back to having fun. When Haste The Day asked us to come back for one show none of us immediately said yes. Obviously, we eventually did. Getting together and playing those songs again in a tiny little corner-room in Mike's basement had a bigger effect than we expected. We want more... "more

On this day in 1970, The Guess Who started a three-week run at #1 on the U.S. singles chart with "American Woman" � it was the group's sixth top 30 hit and only chart topper. The song was born by accident when guitarist Randy Bachman was playing a heavy riff on stage after breaking a string. The other members joined in on the jam. A fan in the audience who had recorded the gig presented the tape to the group after the show. The band later developed the impromptu jam into a full song.

"It's a real ode to our fans, our hardcore fans," guitarist Travis Stever told Billboard. "It's one of the better shows we've gone out with in a really long time. We're always ready to stimulate the ears and the eyes, but on this one we wanted to make it really special."

In the video, Hetfield says, "Hold on, Mo. Hey, Yankee fans. This is James here from Metallica. And we know that 'Enter Sandman' over the last decade has been played here in the Bronx because of #42. Now is your chance to hear it live, here, in your house."

As an actor Van Zandt is best known as Silvio Dante in The Sopranos. Speaking from Norway, he recently told the Daily Record: "The Sopranos was one of those things. We had a really good run and you couldn't be too sad about it. I mean, we did seven seasons in 10 years and 10 years is a big chunk of your life. "It was probably time to move on. I wouldn't have, of course. I would have played that gangster for the rest of my life. I loved that character. In fact, I loved it so much, I took this other job playing a gangster here in Norway."

The musical idea actually happened after a writing session one afternoon. We were all just lounging around, some of us getting ready to leave for the night, and Seth started with this sort of minor tapping riff. We all got up and went right back to our instruments and hammered out the core essentials of the song in about an hour and a half. It was one of the first songs we wrote that gave more of a sexy dance ambiance, and we wanted to create the lyrical content around the same energy that we had felt with the music.

The lyrics portray a very independent and sensual individual who is out to have a good time, and follows her through the course of the evening. It's the epitome of sensuality and ultimately sexuality, and describes the transience of both.

I think that the ebb and flow of the music builds a fun yet dark and ominous canvas for the lyrics to paint over. The song takes you for a journey and tugs at your emotions in a number of ways.

The Daily Express reports that proceeds from sales of the song "Standing in the Storm" will go to the different charities supported by the competitors on the Apprentice show.

R.E.M. worked on two records in Seattle and Peter Buck lived next door to Kurt and Courtney. So we all knew each other. I reached out to him with that project as an attempt to prevent what was going to happen."

Cobain initially agreed to the project, but he backed out at the last minute. "I sent him a plane ticket and a driver," Stipe said, "and he tacked the plane ticket to the wall in the bedroom and the driver sat outside the house for 10 hours. Kurt wouldn't come out and wouldn't answer the phone."

"I didn't take lessons to learn how to play guitar," he said. "I have a chord book and figured out to read the simple chord charts and I had The Beatles' Anthology and put on those greatest hits records and played along all day long. That's kinda where I learned how to play guitar but that's also where I learned to understand basic composition: verse, chorus, verse, arrangement. I started playing guitar when I was about 10 and I started the drums when I was maybe about 13/14; even with the drums I just learned how to play on a bed � I didn't have a drum set I just had pillows � and would listen to records and play along. I don't play conventional chords, sometimes I'll write riffs, ... [sighs] I won't look at the fret board as a scale... it's hard for me to even talk about because I just don't even know how to explain it."
