Guitarist Robert McIndoe, 52, allegedly acquired a severe form of the hearing problem after attending a Them Crooked Vultures concert in July 2010. He usually wore earplugs to loud shows but he'd forgotten them.

They collaborated on Slipknot's 2004 album Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses) and although other members of the band have said it was a good experience, Taylor had always been more cautious in his comments.

More than 55,000 fans have signed the online petition. Now, Nickelback have filmed a skit about the Detroit situation. The video, on humor site Funny or Die, finds the band meeting with comedian Paul Scheer ("The League") as a music executive trying to help the band find a solution to the problem.

It's BLS meets BVB on the upcoming 'Rebels' EP. The disc will feature the leather clad rockers covering Billy Idol's 'Rebel Yell,' an original tune titled 'Coffins,' and also boasts Zakk Wylde's axework on a cover of the Kiss song 'Unholy.' BVB announced Wylde's involvement via Facebook yesterday, saying:

CBS Channel 6 in Albany reports The Times Union Center released a statement regarding the cancellation that says, in part:

Vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett are fortunate enough to be in two successful rock bands � Hellyeah and Mudvayne. Pulling double duty sometimes becomes a double-edged sword when you have to neglect one for the other though. Unfortunately Mudvayne fans are feeling the burn this time around as they received some tough news via Hellyeah's Twitter yesterday:

Since Eddie is M.I.A., former Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar offered his thoughts about the forthcoming Van Halen release, claiming that he has only the highest hopes for the album. "I'll be the first guy waiting in line at the record store, if I could find one anymore," he told Rolling Stone.

The singer started flying planes for Astreus because he wanted to pilot large vehicles he could never afford himself. Maiden hired their Boeing 757 Ed Force One from the firm. Earlier this year he also became its marketing director.

"We know you can't travel to every show, so we are bringing the shows to you," posted the band.

He says: "Working for Cirqe du Soleil is great because I am finally able to fully support my family with this very unstable life I chose as a musician, but also very tough because this job has made it hard to do other things, and the main thing is Spock's Beard.

In fact, that was his reason for asking Jagger. "I went to play material for the label and Jimmy Iovine's like, 'Yo, this is dope. Who are you gonna put on it?,'" Will told Rolling Stone. "I'm like, 'What are you talking about? It's finished, it's me.' So, he's like, 'Oh, you don't feature no one?'"

The guitarist dedicated his latest solo album to his colleague and has rewritten his track Miss You Ray, originally about Ray Charles, to become Miss You C.

The band had selected military wife Amber Raymond to draw the raffle at their 8th Annual The Better Life Foundation event at the Horseshoe Casino in Tunica, Mississippi.

Here are the details: The group's final album--1971's L.A. WOMAN, with the signature hits "L.A. Woman," "Love Her Madly" and "Riders On The Storm"--is being celebrated with a special two-CD release from Rhino and a behind-the-scenes DVD/Blu-ray from Eagle Rock Entertainment.
The L.A. Woman 40th anniversary edition (Rhino 2-CD) features a never-before-heard song, "She Smells So Nice," which captures the band--organist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, drummer John Densmore and late singer Jim Morrison--joyfully barreling through a full-throttle original before segueing into the blues standard "Rock Me."

As the song closes, Morrison can be heard chanting, "Mr. Mojo Risin'"--an anagram of his name that was made famous during the bridge of "L.A. Woman." Recently discovered by producer Bruce Botnick while reviewing the L.A. Woman session tapes, a teaser clip of "She Smells So Nice" can be heard here.

He says: "That's what I love about this band � they're not afraid to try new things.

And Dr John Schofield of York University says the "offensive and rude" scrawlings are more important than lost Beatles recordings and equally valuable as Neanderthal cave paintings.

The guitarist says: "I'm not there to replace a forty-year career. Ken was influential. He was a guitar idol of mine. I know as a fan what the fans can expect, and I'm just there to do the best I can for the band and the fans."

The band will be working out of Vogville Studios and Profile Studios in Vancouver with engineer and producer Terry Sho Murray, who also worked on the band's last 7".

Topping the list this week is the major "Some Girls" reissue by The Rolling Stones; the 1978 album now comes with a bonus disc featuring tracks from the original sessions�and then there's the "Some Girls Live In Texas" concert DVD for fans to take in, as well.

The news comes as the band prepare for their Mars 300 shows next month in NYC which will commemorate their Guinness Book Of World Record breaking 300th show played during a single album cycle.

The band ended their 31-year career in September, but have shown no signs of ever planning to reform.

He recently spent time on set near Belfast, Northern Ireland, in scenes which will appear in the show's second series, to be broadcast next year.

"Live Strawberry Fields" DVD was recorded on the 20th of April 2011, at Silesian Theatre in Katowice, Poland. S

To give this tour a kick in the @ss, we decided to pimp out one of our favorite tracks, "Blinded By You". I chose this song because it showcases many common ingredients we like to use when we cook up songs. "Blinded By You" has great energy and power from heavy guitar riffs and anthemic vocals to a fiercely melodic guitar solo.

The "Distorted Nation" era of Underride began with two new guitar players who approached our brand of "Camaro Rock" differently from the guys before them. "Blinded By You" was one of the first songs that Princess and Suzuki Sixx threw at me. I cranked it on my speaks and it just blew me away. Immediately, I sat down and wrote the vocal part in about a half hour. I know it sounds clich�, but the song kind of wrote itself.

We ran the song through the paces by working it live on the floor to iron out the arrangement making it leaner and brazenly straight forward. In typical fashion, I took the lyrical content from what was happening in my personal life at that time.

Sometimes relationships with friends take a turn for the worse and you're not even sure why. But, all too often, the damage is done and you're better off on your own. It's not meant to be a negative song. It's really about gaining power from independence. Moving forward is the best way to put "things" in your past.

I hope rock fans like the song as much as we do. Underride opens the show with "Blinded By You" and the fans that come out to support the rock show seem to really dig it!
