"KISS is a comic-book rock band," Tyler told the host of the The Cowhead Show on 102.5 The Bone in Tampa Bay, Florida. "They've got a couple of hits, but they're more, they're comic book � you see them in their spackled faces."

"We were always a band that had something to prove," he continued. "We always wanted to blow off whatever band it was. And I remember when we went out with KISS in '76 or something, one of our roadies got into a knife fight with their guys. And I hated them ever since. But, you know, since then I've gotten to know Gene [Simmons] and Paul [Stanley], and they're beautiful people."

The track is taken from the band's forthcoming greatest hits album, "GRRR!" which is November 12 worldwide (November 13 in North America), "GRRR!" will be available in five different formats, including a three-CD 50-track version and a four-CD super-deluxe version that includes 80 songs.

"Personally, I couldn't care less," Blackmore tells Billboard. "I would never go. I'm not really a fan of that stuff. Considering some of the people that are in the Hall of Fame, I'm not sure if it's a good idea, so I don't care one way or the other, actually."

'Da Ali G Show' and 'Borat' star Sacha Baron Cohen is set to portray Mercury in the film. May provided the following details in his update on his official website:

No surprise, Rob says he's officially quitting the band after singer Kris Roe's crazy guitar-throwing drum-kicking meltdown -- which was caught on tape -- telling us, Kris' "actions were petty, uncalled for, inexcusable, immature, and an embarrassment to both bands and fans alike."

Felicetti admitts he was having "an off night" but calls Roe's outburst "tantamount to that of an 11-year-old girl unable to obtain tickets to a One Direction concert." (No offense to 1Ders)

He also says Roe's video apology to fans -- in which he accuses Felicetti of over-boozing -- is all lies.

Felicetti tells us no one in the band, including himself, had a drinking problem ... and it was never discussed until Kris tried making the ole "rock-n-roll" excuse "for throwing a drum set at another human being � namely me."

Crosby, Stills & Nash (1969), CSN (1977), and Daylight Again (1982) are available in high-res audio digital formats for the first time.

Incubus drummer, Jose Pasillas is featured on all 12 instrumental tracks along with bassist, Gabe Rosales. Jeff Kollman makes a guest solo appearance on the song, "Left of Center."

Fugazi Edits is my forthcoming album of instrumental music created using samples from the band Fugazi's catalog. In an attempt to keep some parts of the album straightforward, the track names are simply lists of the songs sampled. To that end, the album opener is entitled "Nice New Outfit / Greed / Walken's Syndrome / Facet Squared / No Surprise."

Of all the tracks on the album, this is the likeliest to pass for an actual Fugazi instrumental. It's the first track I made. It's one of two tracks that sample five different songs, as the rest of the tracks employed four songs apiece. And, I wasn't yet sure how I wanted to approach the album. So, the track is pretty linear and the samples are layered in a fairly obvious way.

Because it was the first track, I remember pretty clearly the actual mixing. I was playing a six week residency on South Padre Island during spring break. So, I spent most of that span working on Fugazi Edits during the day and then playing pop and dance in the clubs at night.

As production started, I wondered if the projects would seep into each other. In particular, I thought I might find myself mixing Fugazi drum breaks into my club sets or creating a more beat-heavy, dance-oriented album than I'd expected.

If anything, the opposite was true. I can't say that my DJ sets got poppier as the month went on--as they were already pretty heavy on hits and floor fillers. But, getting that out of my system at night probably allowed me to make more adventurous, less coherent approaches to the album by day.

In any event, that's the direction the album went and my best guesses as to why it shaped up the way it did.

Blabbermouth reports that Dickinson was giving the keynote speech at the IBM Smarter Business event at the Stockholm, Sweden.

Tom recalls what the car means to him personally, saying "I have so many great memories associated with this car. When I began dating Dana (my wife) I asked her what her favorite car was. So, I phoned the office and said I wanted a Champagne convertible Jaguar XJS. The next day they delivered it to my house and showed me how everything worked and I took it for a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway. I was in heaven, as was Dana. This car has such and incredible design. My favorite car I ever owned. We sure are going to miss it."
