The trek, the legendary rockers plan to play their classic 1973 double album Quadrophenia in its entirety, along with a selection of fan favorites.

The guys chatted about the tour, as well as their work on new material. "That's definitely our main focus right now," said Ashba.

"We're always sort of kicking material back and forth and trying to come up with new ideas," added Reed. "Throwing it in the big melting pot that, hopefully, will become the next Guns N' Roses record."

The band is hitting the road with original members Peter Wolf (lead vocals), Seth Justman (keyboards), Danny Klein (bass) and Magic Dick (harmonica) and will be joined by longtime associates Duke Levine (guitar) and Tom Arey (drums). See below for tour dates.

But that doesn't mean he'll be freed � the judgement is subject to the same appeal process that forced him to remain behind bars even after posting $200,000 surety following his arrest three weeks ago.

The vocalist has still not been charged for any offence, despite being accused of manslaughter after fan Daniel Nosek died in June 2010, a month after allegedly sustaining a head wound at a Lamb of God concert. Band manager Larry Mazer says he's waiting for an official letter explaining the judgement and detailing the conditions of Blythe's freedom.

Of course, Ronson might be best known for shaping the sound of Amy Winehouse's classic Back to Black album.

The album, 'British Lion,' will be released September 24th in the UK (by EMI) and the 25th in the US (By UME).

The show comes on the eve of the band's summer tour with M�tley Cr�e, which kicks off Friday at the same location.

He told Absolute Radio, "When you kick off a song you say, 'I can't remember how the middle bit goes,' but the fingers remember even if you don't!

"I don't practice as much as I should, probably. But now that we're putting the act together again I'm getting the chops back together."

He says: "It was really, really, really hot. I kind of had a heatstroke blackout. I finished the show but I don't remember the last two songs.

But UK-based Dean Torkington, who's been impersonating the Bat Out of Hell icon since 1996, says the legal action is a case of "bullying" and he won't bow to it.

Recorded at Space Studios 3 in Spain, Still on the Road to Freedom finds Lee returning to his original inspirations. Longtime band members bassist Pete Pritchard and drummer Richard Newman, along with keyboardist Tim Hinkley, join Lee in a musical travelogue that is a tribute to the roots music that first influenced him.

He explains: "I don't go out that often � there are still a number of currencies over there and you get dicked every time you change money. If I don't have any local money I'll probably sit in my room."

Gary Rossington is now the only original Skynyrd member, but he has told Michigan Live: "I wouldn't say it's a responsibility, at least not in a heavy way. We all had a dream, and the dream came true. Then, it was stripped away so quickly. People still love the music, and we love doing it. That's really what's it's all about � playing music that makes people happy and hearing stories from them."

Of Last of a Dyin' Breed Rossington says: "It's just good Southern rock 'n' roll. It's within the tradition and style of the band."

After suggesting that they'll be playing shows in Japan this fall, the band had yet to actually announce or officially confirm anything to date - until today.

The Canadian rockers will be playing songs from their recent release 'Sick and Twisted Affair' and their major label debut album.

When it came time to pick a producer for the effort, the band didn't have to look too far, tapping guitarist Daniel Laskiewicz (DL) for the task.

The run kicks off October 13th in Johnson City, TN and is scheduled to wrap up October 24th in Portland, Oregon.

The group have already completed about a half-dozen shows on the trek, on which they are joined by Cheap Trick.

Known for his vocals on the 1986 self-titled Vinnie Vincent Invasion debut album, Fleischman never appeared outside of a few photographs as a member of the band due to stalled contract negotiations and the addition of Mark Slaughter. Slaughter would go on to appear in the video for lead single 'Boyz are Gonna Rock' while lip-synching to Fleischman's studio tracks. This video also resulted in a lawsuit. Fleischman joins Decibel Geek hosts Chris Czynszak and Aaron Camaro for a discussion detailing his time working with Vinnie Vincent; three different occasions including the Invasion's debut album.

Also of note in this interview is Fleischman's recollections of Vinnie Vincent before he became Ace Frehley's replacement in KISS as they worked on some demos together which later became the first Invasion album.

This conversation details the behind the scenes process and turmoil that went into making 1986's Vinnie Vincent Invasion album including Fleischman's claims of unethical behavior by band members and constant tension between band members, managers, and record executives.
