The band appeared on stage last week for the first time in 20-years where they performed a new song from Grohl's forthcoming documentary Sound City with Beatles legend Paul McCartney.

The one-off reunion ignited speculation that the Nirvana members were planning to regroup. New York Post's Page Six quoted unnamed sources as telling them:

"Grohl has been privately telling friends that he's working on a 'Nirvana anniversary tour with a secret frontman.'"

Flynn, who underwent emergency hernia surgery last month, spent four hours in a hospital following the accident where he was hit by the cab in his groin area, according to Loudwire.

After leaving the hospital, Flynn rushed to the Roseland Ballroom for his band's set at the New York City stop on their tour with Dethklok, All That Remains and the Black Dahlia Murder. During the set Flynn told fans that All That Remains refused to switch set times with his band.

Loudwire published the following transcription from a video of Flynn's speech to fans: "About two days ago we played and the All That Remains guys asked us to flip-flop with them because their singer got stuck in traffic. And you know, we've been flip-flopping this whole tour so we were like, "Yeah, man, you know what? It's no big deal, we'll flip flop." Because that's what you do, you look out for your brothers, right?

"And today, I got hit by a cab, right where I had surgery four weeks ago, in my nuts. I got clipped in a hit and run. I spent the last four hours in the f�ing hospital and unfortunately I had to f�in' rush back here � and actually, it is fortunate, because I'm very happy to be standing on this stage � but I had to f**king rush back here because nobody could f�ing switch, man, nobody could flip-flop, because that's just how it is, I guess. That's how it is when you look out for your brothers some of the time.

Blythe's trial will begin on February 4, 2013 and is expected to last four days, reports Prague Post. If convicted, Blythe could receive up to ten years in prison.

"We have issued Randy Blythe with a court summons, and he is obliged to attend the hearing in person," court spokeswoman Martina Lhot�kov� said according to the report. "The trial will determine the culpability of Blythe, and his potential punishment."

The singer had been indicted after being accused of pushing a fan off the stage during a Lamb of God concert in May 2010, which prosecutors claim led to the fan's death two weeks later.

The band's manager Larry Mazer issued the following statement in response to the indictment: "After a three month investigation, the prosecutor in the Czech Republic has decided to move forward with an indictment of Randy Blythe on the charge of manslaughter with intent to cause bodily harm. Obviously, we intend to fight vigorously against these charges as we feel that in no way did Randy intend to cause bodily harm on the young fan who subsequently died from injuries sustained at the show. As he has stated previously, Randy intends to go to Prague to defend himself at trial.

"While it is a tragedy that a Lamb of God fan died following a performance by the group, in no way do I feel that Randy did anything improper that led to the young man's injuries and subsequent death. The price of a ticket to a show does not entitle audience members access to a band's stage. In the years since the murder on stage of Dimebag Darrell Abbott, performers of all genres have had to become more guarded while performing in response to the dangers presented by fans trying to become part of the performance. We believe that Randy responded professionally to the numerous amount of fans rushing the stage that day, a number of them captured on videos that have been posted on the internet. We have testimony from the venue operator that acknowledges lax security and an improper barricade being used that evening. Numerous testimonies from fans also were contradictory as to the actions of the multiple fans that tried to access the stage.

The soundtrack, Sound City - Real to Reel, will be released on March 12th by Grohl's Roswell Records.

The album will feature collaborations between Grohl and Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, Josh Homme, Rick Springfield, Slipknot's Cory Taylor and Paul McCartney.

The McCartney track, "Cut Me Some Slack," was performed live by McCartney and the surviving members of Nirvana (Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear) last week during the 12-12-12 concert in New York, and was also released to iTunes.

The documentary is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, and be released February 1 in theaters and via digital download.

Grohl, who will travel to Sundance next month along with select artists featured in the film and its forthcoming soundtrack album had this to say, "As a first time director, I am humbled to be able to share my passion for songwriting and storytelling with this incredible cast of legendary musicians, as seen through the extraordinary story of America's greatest unsung recording studio, Sound City. Being included in this group of artists is a true honor, and the Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film about craft, integrity, and passion for art. I am over the moon!"

Frontiers Records sent out the following details: TOO Many Reasons features twelve brand new tracks, as well as a new acoustic version of the band's chart-topping smash hit, "Baby Come Back."

Founding member/bassist Ronn Moss commented, "It's wonderful to have our new music out in the world again. Our sound, our vocals, are stronger than they've ever been. I also believe there's a huge market waiting for this kind of music, a market in which lyric and strong melody are still valued."

He informed fans of his decision to leave the group via the following blog post on his official website on Monday: "It's been a fantastic journey over the past twelve years or so but I have decided that now is the right time for me to leave Quo and move on to something new. My final show will be at the O2 on Wednesday.

"No doubt there will be much conjecture that this is somehow related to the upcoming reunion gigs but I'd like to assure everyone that it has no bearing on my decision. Indeed I wish the guys every success with this tour and certainly hope to come along to see one of the shows!

"I should like to take this opportunity to thank the guys in the band, our fantastic crew and Simon and the girls in the office for their friendship and professionalism. Most of all I thank the fans without whom I should not have had the chance to play with one of the best rock and roll bands in the world."

Slash informed fans via his Twitter page on Monday that he had filmed the spot and he also announced a new recording as well as asked fans to honor the victims of last week's school massacre in Ct. The series of Tweets are below:

"Just did a cameo on Anger Mngmt. Charlie's working w/a great bunch of people of there. iiii]; )'"

"Going to record some parts for the Nothing To Fear title track now. Song is sounding pretty damn cool. iiii]; )'"

"Trying to get back in the swing of things. Still pretty devastated by the events in Newtown last weekend."

The newly renamed Unifer sent over these statements about the dispute and the name change: The Chicago band trademarked the name "Future Ghosts" back in April 2012, despite not have been active since 2006 and despite the fact that Greensboro's Future Ghosts had already released an EP (Oh, Great City) back in 2011. Only recently did the Chicago band decide to reform and release a new record this year.

The timing couldn't be worse as Greensboro's Future Ghosts are preparing to release their debut LP Colorado on February 12, 2013 via the indie labels Autumn + Colour Records (Sick/Sea, Sleepy Turtles) and Round Kid Records (Terra Terra Terra, Averman). Colorado was recorded at Cannon Found Soundation Recording Studios (Man Overboard, Basement, Transit) with producer Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Saves The Day, The Menzingers.)

In a jointly-released statement Greensboro's Future Ghosts (now Unifier) says, "We are, and have been aware that we shared a name with other bands. Most bands do, at one point or another, and usually everyone is pretty relaxed about it. We were just glad that when we got started we only shared it with two or three others. We always knew the possibility was there that one of them would take off and we'd be the ones who had to change our name, but for it to happen like this feels like betrayal. Not only did the other band make no attempt to work it out with us before asking us to cease and desist, they aggressively pursued the purging of our web presence at the same time. It's one thing to make a formal request and give someone a chance to either comply or respond, but we were just left scrambling in the few hours we had to make sure people knew what was going on before all the sites went down."

The band had this to say: "L.A. Guns are delighted to announce the new guitarist is our old friend Frankie Wilsey, who we first met back in 2007 when he was playing in Stephen Pearcy's band, Arcade, on the Rock Never Stops tour.

"Frankie spent more time on our bus than his own, impressing us with hours of classic bootleg videos from the '70s and '80s. He was clearly a rock aficionado, truly a scholar and a gentleman.

"Frankie's been playing guitar since 1977. He formed his first band, Head ON, in San Francisco in '81 and then went on to form the hometown Bay area champions Sea Hags in '88. He moved to Los Angeles in the early '90s, where he teamed up with Stephen Pearcy of Ratt and Fred Coury of Cinderella to form Arcade.

"In addition to lots of sessions in Los Angeles, Frankie recently toured with legendary singer John Waite and also had a residency in Las Vegas as Joe Perry in the definitive Aerosmith tribute band, Aeromyth.

"Frankie joins the band with Guns blazing, ready to tour the world and get involved in writing and recording new original material."

The new song can be downloaded for free from the Paper + Plastick Records webstore as part of the label's 12 Days of Christmas series here

The band - consisting of vocalist / guitarist Mike Moak, guitarist Tyler Paige, bassist / vocalist Will Savage, and drummer Chris Millington - recorded Unkind in its hometown with producer Tim Lynch. The record was mixed and mastered by The Descendents' Stephen Egerton.

Serving as the follow-up to the Eradication LP, After The Fall's newest release showcases a sound with more depth than the band has ever had before. With two other full-lengths under the band's belt (2005's Everything and 2009's Fort Orange), the group has honed and perfected its craft and Unkind proves to be its most impressive work.

The band recently finished recording the effort at bassist Hv�ll's own Studio 1184 and the band have released a new studio video blog.

Bassist Hv�ll had this to say, "two years after we started writing new riffs, our new beast is now complete. It's been a lot of work, but we are utterly pleased with the result. 'Dark,' 'heavy' and 'Vreid' are the three keywords to describe it.

"The artwork takes us in a new direction this time, and is done by the wizard Kim Holm. His work is spectacular and has captured the music and lyrics beyond words.

We had been driving on the way to a show in Ohio and for whatever reason our Bass Player Rich decides to start making up lyrics to some top 40 party song. He's singing and sounding terrible as ever and then he's like light it up, sing with me guys, party on and we'll go all night�. And immediately the rest of us started cracking up, mostly because of the ridiculous over the top creed voice he was doing it in, but the fact remains we were like, we need a party song.

We took the lyric ideas and put them on top of a few guitar riffs Charlie had been working on and the rest was history. We tried to write the ultimate party song that still had that rock edge and still felt like The Product. It definitely was off the radar for us, but we all loved how it turned out. ESPN liked it too and they've been using it for College football coverage ever since.

The clip, recorded in Baizley's Philadelphia art studio, marks the first performance the band members have shared since their horrific bus accident in August.

"Simply put: it's time to get back to it. Since my belated and thankful return to the USA (after our painful test in motor coach-aeronautics) I can definitively say I've exhausted my reserve of potential leisure activities (there's not that many of them, after all)." explained Baizley.

"I've come dreadfully close to boredom, and in those moments I can't help but focus on my glaring physical infirmities. Television offers little respite from this relative stasis; I'm sure by now I have sampled every biker-meth-dealer-zombie-low-talking-cop-crime-scene-serial-killer-real-housewife soap opera that is currently being broadcast (and there's no small number of them). I've tried to fill my weekly routine with as much physical therapy as possible but the truth is, PT is not fun, and its benefits come with a great deal of mental/physical/spiritual pain and struggle. Furthermore, I believe I am getting a touch of Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to my doctors and therapists (the highlight of my week should NOT involve a clinic). Music might be the best therapy I have right now. Perhaps it's both the cause and the cure (the thought has crossed my mind); but I feel lost without it. Pete and I have just spent a long week surveying our musical wreckage and, surprisingly, we are quite well and intact. Sure, there are some substantial obstacles to overcome before we write, record or perform any time soon; but we still have everything we need to get 'back in' that particular 'saddle again.' Most of my peers are familiar with such high-school-gym-teacher poeticisms as 'risk equals reward' and 'no pain, no gain;' but did any of us every really believe there was any real wisdom in those adolescent platitudes? I didn't. I am, however, starting to understand the essence of these and many of our other favorite clich�s.

Among the Zeppelin tunes performed were "Black Dog," "Ramble On," "Going To California," "What Is And What Should Never Be" and "Thank You."

The show was a benefit for injured and uninsured Austin musician Michael Fracasso � a longtime friend of Griffin's � and the Health Alliance For Austin Musicians medical assistance program.

John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. were on hand to perform "I'm Going Down," a song taken from the Stones' 1975 album, "Metamorphosis."

Clark had previously played the track with the band at their New York date on December 8, while Mayer appeared at the December 13 New Jersey show to perform "Respectable."

"'Gaia's Judgement' was the first song I wrote with Sylvain (Auclair, bass/vocals) back in 1993, and the very first Heaven's Cry song," says guitarist/vocalist Pierre St-Jean.

"It revolves around ecology, and how we are unconscious about our actions towards Gaia, which is The Earth personified as a goddess. Looking back, I think the topic is even more relevant today, for as a society, we were not as preoccupied about the environment back in the day as much as we are today!"

Adds guitarist Eric Jarrin (ex-Despised Icon), "It's one of the first songs I heard before joining Heaven's Cry, and I think it showcases the essence of what the band is, lyrically and musically. There's the dual vocal attack, a lot of heavy riffing, some melodic parts; it's really an epic prog song!"

Heaven's Cry's first two releases, "Food For Thought Substitute" and follow-up "Primal Power Addiction," will be reissued by Prosthetic Records on Jan. 8, following the success of the band's recently released comeback album "Wheels of Impermanence."

Both reissues feature revamped artwork and have been newly remixed by Yannick St-Amand (Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, Kataklysm) and remastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Symphony X).

The guitarist joined music guest Paul McCartney to perform "My Valentine," from Paul's recent covers album, "Kisses On The Bottom."

The song is accompanied by photos from the recording session and recent North American tour.

The song was recorded last month at 37 Studios in Rochester Hills, Mich. during the bands' extensive U.S. tour which wrapped up last week.

Smile Empty Soul has been touring in support of its fifth album, 3's, and latest charting single, "Not Alike."
