The veteran frontman disappeared 35 minutes into what was supposed to be a 70-minute show, still suffering after-effects from a haematoma which forced the band to cancel several European gigs last month.

BraveWords say Lemmy admitted to the fans at the music festival that the experts had advised him to quit, but he added: "We'll have to see about that."

Responding to frequent fan requests for news, GnR have released a comment saying: "Generally speaking, at this time we have no information on tours, albums, or DVDs. When things get confirmed we will let you know. Thank you for your patience."

The UK rockers played 11 shows at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino this past spring, following in the footsteps of Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses.

The Las Vegas dates featured two sets from the band: the first, a wild card collection of songs that changed from night to night � performed under the name "Ded Flatbird"; the second presented the band's iconic 1987 album, "Hysteria", from start to finish.

The pair are currently touring the US together on the Gigantour travelling festival � Newsted with his self-titled new band and Mustaine with Megadeth.

Newsted says: "We're at the end of Gigantour now. But the way that this tour is going, it's just kind of crazy and we haven't gotten to that point yet.

The new album sold 112,000 copies its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's an improvement over the group's last full-length, 2011′s American Capitalist, which opened at No. 3 with 90,000 sold.

The movie, out November 20, stars Joaquin Phoenix as a man who falls in love with a highly intelligent computer (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). The film also stars Amy Adams, Parks and Recreation's Chris Pratt, Olivia Wilde and Rooney Mara.

This is not the first time the Canadian band has teamed up with Jonze. They lent an acoustic version of "Wake Up" for one of the Where The Wild Things Are trailers. The director also shot their short film for "Scenes From The Suburbs" off their 2011 album, The Suburbs.

On August 27, "Pretty Saro" will be featured on Dylan's Another Self-Portrait. The box set will include 35 tracks cut for Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait and New Morning.

The stripped down track features Dylan's familiar quivering vocals and light finger picked acoustic guitar. But that's not all. Filmmaker Jennifer Lebeau has created a video for the song. Using photos from the Farm Security Administration, which is stored at the Library of Congress, her video transports the viewer back in time. Having gone through 1,200 photos from the 1940s, '50s and '60s, she created a specific tale to fit Dylan's vocals.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lebeau opened up about what she wanted to capture in the video. "His vocal delivery is so haunting. I wanted to be able to visually represent that sort of unrequited love in a world that seems like it should be sad, but the people are always happy and fine," she said.

She added: "It literally goes from women on farms with wagons to Rosie the Riveter. They were doing laundry and tilling the land, and at the end, they're building planes and really in charge of everything at the work place. We wanted to include as many of these magnificent faces as we could, and tell this story across the years."

In a posting on Facebook Monday night, Rob lamented the potential for finding a simple solution, saying the issue "has already become a [expletive] witch hunt. No one is crushing little people. Just trying to fix the sound of metal ramps crashing in my backyard. Not trying to [expletive] with anyone, just trying to find a solution. Trust me, if this was in your backyard you would agree."

Zombie then commented on the controversy created by the headlines. "It seems nuts to even have to address this, but I guess I will," he posted. "Some really crazy articles have popped up making claims about 'hating skaters' and 'hating children.'

Josh Homme and co appeared at the Chicago event on August 2 and delivered a 70-minute set consisting of classic tracks alongside material from latest album �Like Clockwork.

Hinder sent over the initial dates for the trek which will kick off on September 20th in Portland, ME and explained that frontman Austin Winkler is continuing his hiatus from the group for "personal reasons".

"With Jared filling in, it's like getting two shows at once," says Cody Hanson of Hinder. "It's energetic, fun and unlike anything I've ever seen from a rock band. You won't want to miss this!"

A teaser for the show has been released in which comedian Fred Armisen show up as the band is rehearsing, and takes on the role of director. Armisen says he wants to figure out which member of Kings of Leon is the best, by having them play individually.

"Today we are ‪#‎bachinthestudio‬ crafting riffs & working on melody lines," wrote Bach. "Bob Marlette is working his magic & helping me out with the upcoming opus of epic-ness. Expect high energy music.... perfect for driving quickly, or jackhammering concrete."

"Working on lyrics," he continues, "but don't want to beat you over the head with sobriety, or ex wives, or ex band members, or any of the other constant bullsh*t that I seem to be personally dealing with.

Both of the surprise shows are connected to each act's appearances at this year's Reading and Leeds festival which will be taking place later this month.

The band say: "Following a breach of our original agreement with the concert promoter, we have no choice but to pull out. It is therefore with great regret and apology to Marillion's fans and to Mott The Hoople (who we respect enormously) that we must cease involvement in this event."

"He's been in the band with us now for six years," says Rockenfield, "But we have a great new thing where Parker was allowed to write.

Released last year, it's was first studio outing since 2005′s Real Illusions: Reflections, and he's delighted with the response it's achieved. The storyline follows the journey of a man "driven mad by grief, intertwining tragedy, revelation, enlightenment and redemption."

The exhibition celebrates the band's reunion with Ozzy Osbourne for latest album 13, which topped charts across the world. Classic Rock said of the band's 19th studio outing: "13 isn't as good as their first six albums � what is? � but it's a million times better than most of what followed, and way more than you could ever expect from a three men of pensionable age who proved all they had to prove 40 years ago."

This year's lineup is spearheaded by Shinedown, who headlined the inaugural Carnival of Madness tour in 2010, as well as Papa Roach, Skillet, In This Moment and We as Human.

"Carnival of Madness is more than a show� it's an experience," Shinedown frontman Brent Smith said in a statement. "This year, it's all about reinvention. The culmination of five powerful and dynamic bands joining together to prove to the world that rock-n-roll is alive and well�"

In a recent interview with NME, Ben Johnston of the Scottish group expressed his distaste for bands that charge fans to get into meet-and-greets.

His performance of the Buddy Miles piece, first laid down with Jimi Hendrix on the Band Of Gypsys album, was recorded in the Netherlands in 2009, at which time it was a staple in his concert set.

The band, who release their latest album, Himlabacken Vol. 1 through Blomljud Records on August 31 also play in Kingston, Rotherham and Wolverhampton.

The record's title stems from the fact that some of the music was composed just before James was rendered unable to walk, read or use his right hand.

The former schoolteacher has learned to play with just his left hand, and completed the album with assistance from bandmates Chris Agnew (bass and vocals), Paul Henderson (guitar and vocals) and Kevin Smith (drums).

Hillage, one of the original members of the British prog rock band Gong, has released a statement explaining why the video was removed from the streaming site.

"The video was initially taken down in connection with the use of original Hinotori images from the Manga animation pioneer Osamu Tezuka, who has been a huge influence on the Phoenix Rising project," says Hillage.

"Tezuka Productions, the Japanese company that manages the Tezuka creative legacy, demanded a change in the precise wording of the copyright notice after the end of the video. This has now been resolved. Our Japanese video production company wish to apologise for the temporary YouTube removal."

The Hinotori promo video is a taster from a collaboration between System 7 and Japan's leading progressive rock band, Rovo, culminating in the new studio album Phoenix Rising (released in the UK on 23 September).

The album, produced by Steve Hillage and Rovo, is followed by concerts at Manchester Ritz (March 7) and London o2 Shepherd's Bush Empire (March 8).

So "In Motion" is a song that has really evolved over time. I feel like we were writing and perfecting it forever. Most of our songs take one rehearsal to write, arrange and complete. This one took months, if not years. It all stemmed from our friend Gomez playing the this goofy 2 note riff on a keyboard during one of our rehearsals. It sounded really cheesey but Rich jokingly created a heavier guitar equivalent and that's the main riff that the song opens with.

We didn't really take it too seriously but I started singing the verses and it clicked. It was in limbo for a while so I took it home and added the bridge guitar riff and the choruses. Collectively we wrote the whole outro but it never really came to fruition like it did until Benny joined the band. We added a lot of little things, i.e. more dynamics, backing vocals, some keyboards. These proved to be missing pieces that had a major impact on the live energy that we put into the song which led it to be our #1 fan favorite song that we close all our sets with.

We know we could have picked one of our more radio friendly songs for our first music video, but this song is the song that fans have latched on to. This video is for all of the believers of Ghosts of Eden and Velvet Grunge out there. While the lyrics may not be very literal, what it's truly about is following your dreams and never letting anyone tell you it's stupid or that you can't do it. At the end of the day, whether you succeed or fail, you went for it, you're still here...alive.

Opening with the tagline "the greatest rock club ever," the trailer reveals actor Alan Rickman (best known for portraying Snape in the Harry Potter movies) as the movie's central character, CBGB's club owner Hilly Kristal, who opened the bar in 1973 (Kristal died in 2007 at the age of 75). Also among the marquee cast includes Foo Fighters' drummer Taylor Hawkins as Iggy Pop and Malin Akerman (Watchmen, The Heartbreak Kid) as Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry. While the club was shuttered in 2006 over a rent dispute, the name lives on with an annual festival.

"When we started pre-production on this album, we pushed ourselves harder and further than we ever have previously in order to make the most out of every individual arrangement," says guitarist Mark Tremonti.

They discuss how they realized they sometimes "weren't going for it fully," why so many things were cut out of the album � and much more besides.

Ross Farrelly (vocals, harmonica), Josh McClorey (guitar, vocals), Pete O'Hanlon (bass) and Evan Walsh (drums) cite influences including Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter.
