South Florida based Gossip Extra reports that police were called to Spitz's home in Lake Worth, Fl by Candi's mother early Christmas morning because the guitarist and his wife were arguing after they had been drinking on Christmas Eve.

Candi told the site that "we were all drinking wine, and he just snapped." She said that Spitz then started to pack his bags and she stood in his way and that was when the argument escalated, but she says that he did not hit her.

"I'm not planning on pursuing this in court," Candi told the site. "This was a big misunderstanding. My mom should've never called 911. He never hit me or tried to harm me. He did shove me, and unfortunately I bruised my shoulder. But come on: He's 5 feet tall and 100 pounds all wet. And I kickbox. He could never harm me if he tried."

And although the online retailer corrected the error quickly, the Boss' 18th studio record has already been circulated via filesharing networks. The 12-track album sees Springsteen looking back on his career with a series of new takes on old material, alongside a handful of cover versions.

He's offered fans his thanks for their support, saying he didn't realise until he'd broken his silence just how many other people find it difficult to talk about the killer disease � and that he hopes going public will assist other people in the same situation.

Problems came to light after he required medical attention for back issue that were causing him a great deal of pain, following earlier knee replacement surgery. "So around Christmas I've been having a succession of blood tests, ultrasounds, and various kinds of scans, to see if they could rule out various kinds of cancer.

"Now, on hearing the C word, something happens inside you. I've seen so many of my dear friends fighting it, and my dad lost his battle at age 66, exactly the age I am now. I've been in various states of unrest. But the great thing has been that the team my GP assembled to check out the possibilities has moved Heaven and Earth to gather all the information I need quickly."

Here is what Weeks had to say, "A lil over 10 years ago Jason Null and myself (Jared Weeks) started the band Saving Abel, and little did I know how much our lives would change for the better. It's been so amazing over the past decade, to meet so many fans, tour with so many of my favorite and amazing bands, and travel all over the world, to places I couldn't never imagine myself going. It really has been one hell of a ride for me. I've had such a great time experiencing all that we have accomplished with my brothers in SA: Scotty B. Eric T., Mikey M. & Jason N. these fellas have been a family to me on the road and part of my family at home, but most importantly all our FANS that have been there and supported us through thick and thin, through the good and bad. You guys have always held my head up and have always picked me up when I was down. I personally could never thank you enough for who you are and what you do for Saving Abel, 'Hell' what you do for Rock 'n Roll.

"With all that being said, and now that I'm writing this down for all to see, it seems a little harder for me to do, but sometimes you have to follow your heart even if you don't know where it's gonna take you. So as of today, I am following my heart and am NOT continuing on as the lead singer of Saving Abel.

"This wasn't a 'spur of the moment' decision, I have fought & thought about this with myself for sometime now. I have also spoken with the rest of the guys in SA and even helped get everything together for SA to keep doing what they always do, and that is� write Rock N Roll songs, keep Rockin and keep touring with the best live shows.

"Scott Austin will be replacing me as the New lead singer, he is the front man from a band called Trash the Brand, and he is very capable of the job. I have personally seen his live shows and know he will keep the SA train rolling successfully.

"As for me, I'm currently moving to Nashville TN to record a solo album with producer Skidd Mills. This was and is an amicable decision between both me and the Saving Abel fellas. As I said earlier those boys are part of my family and always will be, I do wish them all the best success and support them in their careers, as they do me.

The box set features 800 songs, original ads from the era, two books, and six 180-gram vinyl LPs, and includes music recorded by Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Fletcher Henderson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Jelly Roll Morton and Ethel Waters, among others.

White recently picked up a pair of 2014 Grammy Award nominations. "I'm Shakin'", the fourth single from his 2012 solo debut, "Blunderbuss", earned nods for "Best Rock Performance" and "Best Music Video."

Classic Rock Revisited: We are getting closer to the album release date. This is some hard rocking stuff. This is your comeback. Are you getting apprehensive?

Jake: About seventeen years ago, or so, I was in line in the middle of the night at Jack in the Box�this has nothing to do with anything, but I will tell you anyway. I got robbed at gunpoint and then as I was leaving I got shot at. I am only saying this�he shot like six or seven shots and I was in an SUV�he never hit anything but I could see the flash in the rear view mirror and I could hear the sounds. I wasn't apprehensive then, that is my point. I am one of those guys who doesn't get apprehensive or nervous. That is a longwinded answer to 'if I am apprehensive'�no, I am not.

CRR: Do you realize how f**king lucky you are? Not talking about not being shot, as that is obvious. I am talking about having nerves of steel. I would have sh*t myself.

Jake: Well, yeah, but it doesn't make me more disciplined or anything. It has nothing to do with that. It just doesn't happen. It is not something I have worked on to be that way. You are either born with that or you are not. It doesn't make me better than you, Jeb.

CRR: It does come in handy during gunfights and comebacks. And, I have to say, it comes in handy when the first gig goes down badly!

Jake: I wasn't nervous at the first gig at all and I'm glad I wasn't, because I would have been even more nervous after that one.

CRR: Your singer, Darren Smith was nervous.

Jake: [laughter] Yeah, he was, he was. He was brutalized on the Internet. Nobody is beating him up more than he is himself.

CRR: You remained calm. You had to deal with this issue. Did he look to you for advice after the gig?

Jake: I handled it, I think, as a good band leader would. I told him, "Hey, it is what it is. Everybody f**ks up. I've had some bad shows. The good news is that we will never have a first show that was as under the magnifying glass so much as that one was. There is no way we are going to have a worse show, so it's only going to get better from here on out."

CRR: I heard the second show he performed well. I am usually not the nerd who cruises YouTube and looks for videos, but after that first show, I did. And I did look at clips from the second show.

Jake: There is no way we are not going to get better. We got the bands worse show out of the way. Now we don't have to worry about having a worse show anymore because he already had it with the first one [laughter].

CRR: What did you say after the second show?

"People were pretty excited about us," Evans says about the band's debut show. "The drummer was Colin Burgess from the famous Masters Apprentices, and they knew that Malcolm and Angus Young were brothers of the famous George Young from the Easybeats."

The as-yet untitled AC/DC played two short sets at Chequers that night - one at about 11.30pm and the second in the early hours of New Year's Day, which was a rather impromptu affair.

The source of the information is Universal Music Canada's VP of catalog marketing Ivar Hamilton, who says the members of Rush are "very involved" in the process of putting the package together. No details regarding the reissue are currently available, but it will likely include a remaster of the album, and new and expanded liner notes.

Timed to capitalize on the hype around their April induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, the band will re-release 9 albums and issue 1998's "Psycho Circus" on the format for the first on March 18.

Included in the random set are the band's first two albums, 1974's "KISS" and "Hotter Than Hell", the breakthrough "KISS Alive!", 1976's "Destroyer", followed by "Dynasty," "Unmasked" and "Psycho Circus".

The follow-up to the Canterbury outfit's acclaimed debut On An On will be released in the spring. Syd Arthur were nominated for a Prog Award earlier this year in the Breakthrough Artist category.

Rolling Stone reports Carlton shared the news on Twitter with a photo of the outdoor ceremony, along with the note to the Fleetwood Mac singer: "Thanks Stevie for marrying us!"

Earlier this month, the New Jersey rockers cancelled the final four shows of their first North American tour in ten years due to an illness with frontman Dave Wyndorf.

Clapton starts a Japanese tour on February 18 at Tokyo's Budokan; he'll play three shows there and another four in Japan before dates in Singapore and U.A.E. More dates are expected to be added, with two additional "small tours" predicted.

Perry posted a message: "Another Christmas gift to all. I finished ALL the edits on my autobiography last night. Due out on Simon & Schuster Oct 5th 2014."

"I expect there will be a fair amount about me and [and his toxic twin] Steven [Tyler], considering I've spent a good part of my life with him and three other guys," Perry told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about the memoir while he was still in the early stages of the project.

Geezer Butler, who answered all of my questions via a seven-page fax, noted that their drug usage changed dramatically around this time: "We were using drugs as a necessity rather than for fun, and the cracks were beginning to show."

To make things worse, Tony Iommi was experiencing writer's block. The band returned to L.A., where they'd had a blast recording 1972′s Vol. 4. But while that album yielded metal anthems like "Supernaut," "Under The Sun" and "Tomorrow's Dream," this time around the City of Angels offered no inspiration. "We had a huge mansion in Bel-Air whee we all lived while writing and recording Vol. 4, and it was the most fun we ever had," Butler told me. "It was the ultimate extreme of sex, drugs and rock and roll, but with lots of laughter thrown in. When we went back, the atmosphere just wasn't there any more."

So the band packed up and returned to England, where Iommi rented Clearwell Castle in Wales to restart their attempt at recording album number five. They rehearsed in the dungeons "to get a vibe going." "That place was haunted, no question about it," Ward said. Iommi tells his own tale about experiencing an apparition, and Butler says that a presence in his room appeared after he'd locked the doors and windows. (Ozzy's response: "That's bulls***!")

Paranormal activity aside, the band found the vibe they were searching for, and it scared off the writer's block so fiercely that Iommi was able to come up with what may well be his greatest riff. "When Tony came up with the riff to 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,' it was almost like seeing your first child being born," Butler recalls. "It was the end of our musical drought. It meant the band had a present � and a future � again."

With Iommi on a musical roll, Butler was free to start on the lyrics, which came quickly based on their first few years in the biz. "The lyrics to 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' were about the Sabbath experience: the ups and downs, the good times and bad times, the rip-offs, the business side of it all," Butler said. "[The line] 'bog blast all of you' was directed at the critics, the record business in general, the lawyers, accountants, management, and everyone who was trying to cash in on us. It was a backs-to-the-wall rant at everyone."

Butler, an extremely underrated lyricist, covered a lot of ground on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, some of it more philosophical than autobiographical. Sabbath were often cast as "Satan worshippers" at the time, but anyone who believed that stereotype hadn't listened to the lyrics on "A National Acrobat": "Just remember love is live/And hate is living death/Treat your life for what it's worth and live for every breath." This was almost hippie stuff! "Satan was hardly ever conjured up in our lyrics, and when he was it was not in the religious sense, but in the sense that Satan was alive and well in the people who govern us, manipulating us and killing us in their wars," Butler said."

It was recorded in Argentina in 2011 during their A Dramatic Turn Of Events world tour � their first album since splitting with founding drummer Mike Portnoy.

30A Songwriters Festival
January 17 � 19, Highway 30A, Florida

The band just wrapped up their fall European tour in their hometown of Birmingham, England. Black Sabbath return to live action in 2014 with a series of North American dates starting March 31 in New York.

The trek includes a 3-week Canadian tour that begins April 3 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and wraps April 22 in Edmonton, Alberta; it is followed by a Los Angeles stop at the Hollywood Bowl on April 26.

After sharing tours and stages with Godsmack, Disturbed, Shinedown, Three Days Grace and so many other great acts, I realized, I wasn't just a singer/songwriter for a hard rock band, but I'm a big fan of this music!

I'm Speed, the lead vocalist/guitarist of the hard rock band Silvertung. In the past 3 years Silvertung has climbed mountains we never thought possible for a hard working blue collar band out of Baltimore. And we are just getting started! Our brand new release, "Devil's In The Details" features the single "Coming Alive".

While sitting in our tour van during on the 2012 UpRoar Festival, I was inspired the hard-working fans. Throughout the rest of the tour, I kept hearing this guitar riff and melody with the words Coming Alive. I started focusing writing about the hard working people doing the 9 to 5 thing and how much I could relate to it. Let's face it. When working for someone else, we need to dress and speak appropriately to keep our jobs. But is that really who we are? Not me!

We are who we are. When we're surrounded by those who we have a common interest�like a live rock show, life is exciting. We forget about work, paying bills and other 'normal' life activities. It's that moment right before we hit the stage, we can hear the roar of the crowd, or that moment right before your favorite band to hits the stage. You know -- that second the stage lights go down and the intro starts. That feeling you have at that moment.

That's when we all 'come alive.' Our first single, "Coming Alive" is all about who we really are. As a band, Silvertung, comes alive when we hit that stage. All the hard work writing, rehearsing, to bring are fans the best damn show we can. Doesn't matter what you do for a living, how much money you make�when you feel that 'high' in life, that's when you are "Coming Alive."
That's just a little about Silvertung and our first single "Coming Alive." Want to know more? Please visit us at www.silvertung.com. Check out our new album, "Devil's In The Details."
