Mainman David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason made guest appearances during former frontman Roger Waters' The Wall show at the O2 Arena.

The song, which appears on the band's current full-length Nightmare, is a "very personal goodbye" to Sullivan, states a press release from the group.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays the lead role, recently explained he based much of his character's performance on late Metallica bass player Cliff Burton, who died when Metallica's tour bus crashed during a tour in Sweden in 1986. Gordon-Levitt was shocked when Metallica recognized the similarities without giving them prior warning.

"They dug the movie. It was a real honor and I took a lot of inspiration for this character from the basis of some of their early albums, this guy named Cliff Burton, who played on Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning," Gordon-Levitt said, reports Blabbermouth.net. "And when the band saw it, they were like, 'You know what?! He reminds us of Cliff,' and we didn't even tell them that's what we were going for. And they let us use their songs and I was actually moved because I grew up headbanging to Metallica."

Drummer John Dolmayan is opening up about the band's time off, explaining that while the break enabled members to pursue solo projects (Scars on Broadway, Indicator), those side shows were no substitute for playing in System of a Down.

In 1967, only four albums reached #1: The Sound of Music, which spent 17 weeks at #1; The Beatles' Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 25 weeks at #1; and The Monkees' first and second albums, nine weeks at #1.

On this day in 1989, Bon Jovi went to #1 on the U.S. singles chart with "I'll Be There For You," the group's fourth U.S. #1, and a #18 hit in the U.K.

I remember writing Last Night like it was yesterday. It was the last song I wrote for the album "Listen to This" and on the "Last Night" of the writing sessions. That's where I got the title and then developed the story around the name.

The song is about meeting a girl at a bar the night before but not just as cut and dry as that. Our video for the song captures the deeper meaning. In the dating world you have millions of different options but I chose to pick the final two. For example, you meet two different people on the same night and you don't know what baggage they have hidden in their back pocket if any at all. It's the ol saying "do you turn right or left'. In this case one girl likes to go on walks in the park, going out for ice cream, wants to start a family etc. The other girl likes to party, and do so in every place the other girl likes the brady bunch route. Kids aren't in her picture and doing shots and going wild is. Now, neither are bad depending on what you want. To each their own. It's kind of split down the middle. Some guys might want the more tame chick, and others might just want the "bad girl". In the video you can see both options in plain sight. Now you never find out who the guy chooses but that's simply because I leave it up to you and yours to pick which one gets "singled out" haha.

There are some lines of the song that remind me of my past dating times. I was more into the party and good times at first. Lines like "I got out of bed and shook my head, forgot every single word I said" is pretty self explanatory and happened a few times haha. You can get wrapped up in it as well, as in the line "the next day but the same old scene". After all that I was lucky enough to find my one and "she's got a heart that's naked, so tough that I can't break it", "look what she's done to me, I've told everyone." haha The heart that's naked just means open. I think my favorite line in the song is "when I closed my eyes she was long gone", simply because it's so true and happens every night somewhere in the world. Mostly to girls that get taken advantage of but it happens to guys as well. You meet somewhere, have some drinks, hear the right things, end up back at your place or theirs, do some #$%@^&*, pass out, and wake up alone. They get what they want and then are out of there. Obviously that's not the person you want or maybe it is on some mornings after a bottle of jager and a case of beer hahaa. So to those of you out there in the dating world�here's your theme song�good luck! and thanx for taking the time to read this.

The new album, Pressure & Time, is due to be released on June 20th in Europe and July 26th in North America.

The tour will kick off on August 25 at The Warfield in San Francisco, CA and include a show at Terminal 5 in New York City (October 1) and a two-night stand at Washington, DC's 9:30 Club (October 4 and 5).

Portnoy astonished the band and fans by quitting last September while he was on tour with Avenged Sevenfold. They auditioned seven sticksmen before settling on Mangini in December. Once he'd been given the job Portnoy asked if he could come back.

Rory Gallagher (1948-1995) is simply one of the all-time guitar greats. Slash, The Edge, Brian May, Johnny Marr, Janick Gers, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Tipton and Vivian Campbell have all said it. Since practically inventing the Power Trio format in Taste (both Cream and Taste debuted in 1966), Gallagher's music has stood the test of time and he's as popular now as he ever was, his influence gargantuan.

Here is the synopsis: On October 20, 2010 Phish played their first ever show in Utica in the heart of the Mohawk Valley. Utica Memorial Auditorium is a hockey arena with a capacity of about 5,700 and a design very similar to another round room and favorite Empire State Phish venue, Madison Square Garden.

The singer and bassist reveals the story in his biography, which he says took five years to complete because he needed that long to prepare for being fully honest.

The surf contest/beach concert is the centerpiece in a weekend full of activities conceived by Switchfoot to give back to their local community and benefit the San Diego and Oceanside chapters of StandUp For Kids (www.standupforkids.org), a national nonprofit volunteer outreach organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of at-risk, homeless and street kids. The line-up for the concert will be announced soon.

The clip features guitar hero Uli Jon Roth, performing "Speedy's Coming" live at Festhalle, Zweibrucken, Germany on 4/12/1976 during the legendary Virgin Killer Tour.

"Yeah, we've known Andreas for a long time," Caggiano told GeeksofDoom.com. "He's a great guitar player. It's definitely going to be a little strange having an Anthrax show without Scott Ian. But I think Andreas is definitely going to pull it off and it's going to be fun. I mean, it is what it is; Scott's having a baby, we've got to understand and respect that."

When asked whether the Stones would be working together this year, Richards answered evasively, "I'm trying to nail them down, but I don't want to crucify them."

For the new album, Paul McCartney's idea was to leave behind all of the Sgt. Pepper-style studio tricks and make music that was stripped-down and relatively straightforward to play live. The plan was that the new album would be recorded as a live performance, and not in the studio. At this point, the band hadn't toured in two and a half years and McCartney liked the idea of going back on the road. John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were less keen on that notion, so the plan became for The Beatles to play a single concert � perhaps in London, or on an ocean liner or in a Roman amphitheater in Africa. Rehearsals began on January 2, 1969 with no concrete plans in place.

The Ready Set gets down on "Hoppus on Music" to catch up with Mark for an interview and a live performance.

"Rock 'n' roll should be done in clubs," Shiflett told TulsaWorld.com. "We've done lots of clubs and theaters in between all those huge shows. That's something we've always done. Lately we've just done a lot more of it."

Available now on iTunes, it includes "Many of Horror" as well as an acoustic version of "Mountains" and two tracks previously unreleased in the US: "Paperfriend" and "Little Soldiers".

The short run will take the guys through Illinois and Indiana on four dates in June. The band is native to Indianapolis, IN and seldom performs live in the area, so this tour serves as an excellent and rare opportunity to witness the band in their hometown!

The show brought together Hall and Rzeznik for a day-long session that included a stellar seven song set. The two collaborated on the Goo Goo's hits, "Iris" and "Slide," both from 1998's triple-platinum Dizzy Up the Girl, with the former also appearing on the City of Angels soundtrack album, where it spent a record-breaking 18 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay charts and was nominated for three Grammys.
