The three-day event (February 6-8) will feature vending, some live music, "Kirk's Crypt" private tours, panels, signings, special guest appearances and more.

The band were sent into turmoil earlier this year when Lemmy spent several weeks in hospital, then fell ill again after going back on the road. They were forced to cancel a tour and even endured rumours that the bassist and vocalist had died following the band's cut-short performance at Germany's Wacken festival.

In the cover feature of the latest edition of Classic Rock, the drummer says: "I think after all he's been through, I'd say this: 'Lem, when are you going to get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? it's time you started to take care of yourself.'"

"Last Patrol is a return to our roots in terms of vibe and recording style," explains Wyndorf. "It's full-on psychedelic space-rock with a 60's garage feel, recorded almost exclusively with vintage guitars, amps and effects in our hometown of Red Bank, NJ."

"The songs are a kind of Space-Noir, tales of cosmic revenge, peaking libidos, alienation and epic strangeness," he continues. "It's a weird trip through the back alleys of a dark, retro-future, which not by coincidence very much resembles my own life. (laughs)

"Hopefully [we will return to the studio] soon," Hetfield said. "I'm itchin'. We have tons of material to sift through. That takes a lot of time, because there's a lot of great stuff.

"I know we only need a few songs, but there's 800 riffs we're going through. It's kind of insane. We have sifted through a lot of the stuff and pulled the cream of the crop � it's just sitting there waiting for us to take it to the next level."

Hetfield hopes to record in Spring 2014, but drummer Lars Ulrich reckons it will be 2015 before a new album is finally done. Ulrich tells Kerrang! magazine, "Obviously, there are a lot of people asking where the next record is. We're going to make another record, but like I said before, we don't really feel this kind of� what's the word? I guess 'responsibility' is probably the right word.

When he was asked by Dan Roth of Music and Art Interviews about his final TSO tour in 2010 and if he saw the end coming, Tommy responded, "I heard the train coming down the tracks. After Tony went, I was the last one out. I kind of knew it was coming."

In a follow up answer he went into details about what happened. He said, "I got a phone call from [TSO manager] Adam [Lind] in June of 2011. He basically said that they had heard that I was writing songs for this band that had some former TSO members in it � they were calling it 'TxO' at that point. I said, 'Yeah, I had some songs that I wrote for myself that I am giving to these guys because they are starting their own venture. What's the problem?' Adam says, 'It's a conflict of interest and Paul is very hurt'.

"I said, 'Why? I broke bread with these guys. We all banded together. We were family. Remember family? That's what this was supposed to be? Am I supposed to turn my back on them? These guys are like family to me. We spent a lot of time onstage together, we spent our holidays together. I didn't spend my holidays with my family � I spent them with these guys.'

"I guess they were looking for a reason and could not come up with anything, so this is what they came up with."

"Cancer was in a small part of his prostate but doctors suggested the total removal to present the spreading of cells," Soilent Green say in a statement. "Today Tommy got his blood test results, and he has a clean bill. No cancer, prostate specific antogen (PSA) level 0. This is the best news ever!"

The three visited Mujica at his Presidential offices in downtown Montevideo, the city which the band played on Wednesday night. "We believe in what he stands for," explained Tyler as to why the band wanted to meet with the President.

"We believe that some of the best American Presidents who were those that fought in war themselves. President [Mujica] is a freedom fighter; in many ways, we fight for freedom ourselves � with music � it transcends all languages.

"It was great," said Ozzy, "scared me a couple of times." "Absolutely fantastic," added Geezer after the walk-through of the maze during its September 20th opening.

"Super Collider" debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 album chart in June with opening week sales of 29,000 copies. On the road since the album's release, Megadeth are now touring South America supporting Black Sabbath.

Flying Colors were recorded in action in the Netherlands in September last year. They delivered their full self-titled album along with classic tracks from their own current and previous bands including Dream Theater, Spock's Beard and Dixie Dregs.

Bassist LaRue tells Classic Rock: "It was quite an experience � the band moved at a fast pace, with ideas flying around the room. Sections of tunes were arranged and rearranged. Ideas were tried every which way until we made them work; or in some cases discarded them altogether. Just keeping track of everything was a challenge."

"Music can be a real sh*tty business. It chews bands up, it spits them out, and as Chris Rock said, 'Here today, gone today.' But about twenty years ago I remember flipping on MTV and seeing this band called Korn," said Zombie.

"Twenty years later they're still constantly reinventing themselves, reinventing the wheel�There's not a lot of spectacular bands who have survived the past twenty years � Korn is definitely one of them."

Brian "Head" Welch, who reunited with the band for the new album, said "We're just so thankful. This is just surreal. To grow up with your friends and be able to do this�it's more than a dream come true."

James "Munky" Shaffer had this to say, "It's an honor to be in the category with so many great musicians and people who work hard in this industry."

Robertson co-wrote Legends, Icons & Rebels with his son, Sebastian, and his respective current and former managers, Jim Guerinot and Jared Levine. The book comes packaged with two CDs that include 27 classic recordings � one by each of the music greats profiled.

Robertson is scheduled to make a couple of TV appearances to promote Legends, Icons & Rebels. He is a guest on CBS Saturday Morning, which airs at 7pm ET (October 12) and he'll also appear on an upcoming episode of PBS's Tavis Smiley.

The album features an array of guest stars including Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Jordan Rudess, Steve Hackett and John Wetton. In the trailer it's explained: "After travelling through space and time seeking the origins of the universe Ayreon returns to Earth to explore the most complex object in the known universe� the human mind. How far would you go to fulfil your dreams?"

Regarded as the birthplace of British R&B, it's now a bar known as The Red Room, with a blue plaque commemorating the events that once happened there.

He'll debut his "psychosonic" thought control headgear at Hard Rock Hell in Wales next month, using it to perform material from his upcoming album, Zim Zam Zim.

Commemorative details include a Slash graphic on the headstock, echoed in a silkscreen on the included black Gibson USA hardshell case. Add a pair of Seymour Duncan Slash Signature humbucking pickups, a TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, and top it all off with unparalleled Gibson build quality, and the Slash Signature Vermillion Les Paul is a stunner that plays and sounds as good as it looks.

You get a select mahogany back�treated with Gibson's traditional weight relief to increase playing comfort and enhance resonance�plus a solid, glued-in, quarter-sawn mahogany neck. The neck is carved in the fast '60s SlimTaper profile that Slash prefers, and topped with a Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays.

The show will also feature the Mavericks frontman Raul Malo, Marc Cohn, Teddy Thompson, Dana Fuchs, Joan Osborne, Bettye LaVette, Toshi Reagon, and Rich Pagano (of the Fab Faux).

Bridge The Gap is described as "an album of 13 hard-hitting, adrenalin-fuelled melodic rock'n'roll songs that showcase Shenker's distinctive and explosive guitar playing".

It's the latter book that's been on his mind lately. He is rankled by the idea that it will be filed under "music" in book stores, as it's a serious look at the supernatural, which neither flatly denies paranormal occurrences, nor buys into all of the explanations for them. Much of the book was inspired by Taylor's own experiences.

As he told Radio.com, "It came down to, well, I've had all of these experiences. And yet, every explanation that has been offered to me has not been satisfactory, whether it's religious, or complete dismissal by the skeptics, or the purported 'ghost hunters,' who get more and more reactionary with every series. I'm more interested in the proof of it. I wanna know what this is, instead of just going 'Aaaah!' I'd rather go, 'Oh, that's what this could be.' Once I figured out that that's where I wanted to write it from, the rest of it just kind of fell together."

An avowed atheist, the book may not gel with Taylor's more religious friends, but he's careful how he treads on that ground: "I don't knock how people feel, I knock the religion itself. That's because so much of man's fingerprints are on religion. If there was more proof in God, I'd probably believe more in it. It's always been way more divisive than inclusive, so that's one the reasons I've never subscribed to that side of things."

His next book could well be a tutorial on how to budget your time. Besides all the aforementioned projects, in recent years, he's also guested on a number of albums, including Dave Grohl's Sound City, Travis Barker's Give The Drummer Some along with a solo holiday single, "X-M@$." He says he actually gets most of his work done while on the road. He's a lot more laid back when he's not on tour: "When I'm at home, I like to just be with my family. Be a dad, be the guy making lunch, dinner, breakfast. And then I lay on the couch for an hour, drink coffee and scratch myself."

The new video was directed by Joel Knoernschild. He had the following to say about the clip, "Having the opportunity to work with Gary was tremendously exciting, as well as a little intimidating."

"'Cars' is often cited as one of the first full-length commercial music videos ever, so we had some pressure on us. We shot with 4 video cameras ranging from mid 1970s to early 2000s plugged into an old tube TV.

"Then we shot the TV with an Arri Alexa, one of the best HD cameras in the world. There's lots of mixed media in the video and all of the effects you see were done live. There are no VFX shots done in post production."

Watch the video here. Fans in select cities in the U.S. and the U.K. will be able to watch Numan perform live this fall. He will kick off the limited run of tour dates next week at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetary in Los Angeles.

It was shot in Birmingham in 2012, when the band united with the Orchestra Of The Swan and their chamber choir to deliver classic albums The Human Menagerie and The Psychomodo in full. The concert sold out five months in advance.

Their debut record, A Bit Of Devil, was hailed as "the best retro-rock album from Germany in years", and Zodiac take a step further down their own road of development with the follow-up.

"Sylvia, My Love" was one of the first tunes we did. Man, did it come together quickly! Berger hit that drum groove almost instantly when I started playing the song, everything else just fell right into place.

Pemberton's killer part is just bad ass , but when he went to that high octave trotting bass line for the chorus, we all almost lost it. And of course, as always, Dawson came up with his riff on the first try but on every replay it just got better and better.

I sometimes write lyrics very stream of conscious, and this was one of those songs. I really didn't know who "Sylvia" was as I was writing it... The name just kept popping in my head. At the end of our first rehearsal session with this song Berger asks me, "Is this about Sylvia Rivera?" I said, "Who?" He said, "You know, Sylvia Rivera... Stonewall, GLBT activist." I went home and Googled "Sylvia Rivera." Immediately I started rewriting some of the lyrics... "Sylvia - good as gold, She rocks my soul."

This song is dedicated to an American hero, Sylvia Rivera.
