We were sent these comments from a spokesman for the band: "The claim is complete nonsense, and is categorically denied. It appears to be based on a 'screenplay' which the band never received or saw, produced by someone the band has never heard of. It speaks volumes that the album in question was released a full 3 years ago, and yet this is the first that has been heard of these groundless allegations".

Zeppelin posted a graphic of the number two on their Facebook page Tuesday, following the daily clock update that began with Saturday's posting of the number five in the band's traditional font.

The 1986 single, taken from the band's second album Peace Sells� But Who's Buying? is a heavy metal staple, listed by VH1 as the eleventh-best metal song of all time. But mainman Dave Mustaine originally conceived it as an eight-minute piece � and Poland says Samuelson, who died in 1999, was the only man who could have talked him out of it.

The guitarist tells Xtreme Metal Radio: "I think originally it was eight minutes long, and Gar said, 'You know what? This is too good a song to drag it out like this. Let's shorten the arrangement, cut it down to size and make it a single.'

Speaking during a promotional campaign to raise funds for Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle, Janie tells KISW : "What he was trying to do was create this new sound. He told my dad: 'You're going to be doubly proud of me.'

ROCKET: Let's talk about the upcoming solo CD from Philip Anselmo. Who produced it and where was it recorded?

MARZI: It was produced by Phil but he gave me the creative freedom to help shape the record. And it was all recorded at Philip's studio "Nosferatus Lair".

ROCKET: What can fans expect from the music? Is it going to be heavy or mellow?

MARZI: Well I believe that Phil has put it best when mentioning that you truly cannot categorize it. It's heavy and it is f***in extreme. Every song is completely different from the next. It's not one that you're gonna get upon just a single listen. It will unfold itself into what it is, which in my book is an undeniable body of work that will not only fill this empty musical existing void but will kill and destroy the over rated bulls*** that is fed to the listener. The time has come and as a fan and lover of arts and music I would want and need this in my life. I'm beyond stoked to have contributed. This has been my focal point and it is a very important album for everybody out there across the globe. We put everything we had into it and by that I mean blood, sweat, heart and soul. Philip's lyrics are our new anthems. He is the one and only man that can deliver this kind of intense, honest, true and downright vicious body of work.

ROCKET: Does it have a title?

The radio series gets the story this week behind one of Rock's most contentious and public rights disputes, and one of the biggest comebacks in music history.

Heritage was released last year and its production saw the departure of keyboardist Per Wiberg after an eight-year stay. He's been replaced by Joakim Svalberg.

According to the leader and songwriter Ferdinando 'Herr Morbid' Marchisio, this new album is the most personal one he has written since 2004's Love's Burial Ground and it explores the darkest corners of his mind like never before, making it without any doubt one of the band's more tortured and twisted offerings.

It's Young's first album of all new material with Crazy Horse since 2003 and was recorded after the Americana sessions.

These shows will be the beginning of a tour supporting Between The Buried And Me that will also see the bands travel through Australia and New Zealand together. In addition,

Better Days is the title track off the full length album, and it is simply an anthem to no matter how horrible a situation is, things will get better. I have friends call me all the time talking to me about how they are miserable in where they are in life, it's always hard to stay positive when they have so much negative going on. The thing is, sometimes the negative isn't really that bad.

"I just can't find the reason, just can't believe in why you'd even want to stay" says so much to me without saying anything at all. The way to change your surroundings is to change yourself, a positive outlook on things alters your perception so much. We try and create a ton of emotion in our music, if we don't believe then no on else will.

Appreciate the little things in life, and thats where this song came from, whenever your situation seems to much to handle, look to your neighbor, they are in a hard place as well. All the songs off the new album are just about reality, Better Days is no different, everything comes from personal experience. I hope that people see that we're in this together.
