Due June 2 (June 3 in North America), the band also releasing reissues of "Led Zeppelin II" and "Led Zeppelin III" the same day. Deluxe editions of the group's first three albums are the first projects announced as part of an extensive reissue program that will see all nine of the band's studio albums reissued in chronological order, each remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page.

As the members of Nirvana were getting ready to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday, the satirical website National Report published a story earlier this week that claimed that the band planned to hit the road this summer using a hologram of Cobain.

The report is a fake, just like all of the satirical articles on National Report, but that didn't stop some media outlets from picking up the story as legitimate and running their own reports.

The National Report article went so far as to include the following fake quote from Dave Grohl, "We're doing this for the fans, pure and simple. It's been twenty years since the original Nirvana lineup has played together. It's going to be an honor to once again share the stage with Kobain. Lots of fond memories. I can't wait."

Slash will be joining the legendary heavy rock and roll band to perform "select tracks" during their appearances at both weekends of the Coachella festival on April 13th and 20th.

Motorhead have also recruited Slash to perform with them at their Coachella festival warm up show tonight (April 11th) at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA.

Stanley told the black tie clad crowd, "Here we are, basically inducted for the same things that we were kept out for. The people are speaking to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and what they're saying is that they want more. They don't want to be spoon-fed with a handful of choices.

"The people buy tickets, the people buy albums, the people who nominate do not. Let's not forget that these are the people who make it all possible. We just benefit from it.

"I am here tonight because of the people who inspired me, but I am also here because of the people I inspired. So God bless you all. It's a wonderful night."

Accompanied by the Southern California Children's Chorus in the video of their signature hit, the song is part of the ESPN special, "Dream On: Stories From Boston's Strongest", that will air Saturday on ABC.

"It needed to be visceral," the band's rapper and multi-instrumentalist said. "We need to weed out a lot of the soft, emo kind of approach to our music, and we need to weed out anything that feels aggressive for aggressive's sake. We're not 18-year-old kids making a loud record - we're 37-year-old adults making a loud record. And what makes a 37-year-old angry is different than what made us angry back in the day."

As such, the band is attempting to shed the poppier habits they fell into in recent years, particularly with 2012′s Living Things. In March, Linkin Park released "Guilty All the Same," the new single from upcoming album The Hunting Party. The song certainly lives up to the new approach, with a harder, more metal-inspired edge to its sound. The track even includes a rap verse from Rakim, rather than rhymes from Shinoda, the band's usual rapper.

Bach made the revelation after antiMusic's Morley Seaver asked him how he first linked up with John 5. Bach responded, "Through my producer, Bob Marlette. But actually, if you want to know the truth, how I first linked up with John 5, here's a piece of trivia for the Skid Row fans out there: John 5 is in the video 'Piece Of Me', by Skid Row. (laughs)

"Going way back, if you remember on that video there is a part of the video where a guy with blond hair comes on stage and I push him into the crowd�That's John 5!"

Sebastian goes on to explain, "Before he made up his persona John 5, he told me he waited in line because he'd read in Screamer Magazine that Skid Row was shooting a video. So he waited in line with all the fans because he loves Skid Row and he got to the front and got in the video. That was before there was a John 5. It's John Lowery but that's the FIRST time I ever hooked up with John 5. (laughs)... Bet you weren't expecting that answer."

Producers are citing "production issues" as the culprit for the delay. A timetable for its debut has not yet been released. Ticket refunds have been offered.

The "Born To Ride 2" tour is scheduled to kick off on May 1st at the Home bar in Arlington Heights, IL and will be concluding on May 25th in Colorado Springs, CO at the Black Sheep.

Last month, Judas Priest singer Rob Halford updated fans on the band's follow-up to 2008's "Nostradamus." "The record is finished; it's absolutely finished as of today," said Halford at the Ronnie James Dio This Is Your Life Tribute Concert and Awards Gala in Hollywood.

The beginning of the audio that was taken from the concert sounds quite like an intro to the band's 2010 hit "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" at first - and that's because the band led into the cover with the song from The Suburbs - but it soon zooms into totally new territory with the '70s hit, covered on lead vocals by singer Regine Chassagne.

Frontman Win Butler isn't totally absent vocals-wise; he can be heard doing some backing vocals after about a minute into the song. The set list for Arcade Fire's most recent tour has been chock full of covers - some surprising, others not so much - since it began earlier this year. Other choice cuts include Boyz II Men's "Motownphilly," Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" and "The Last Time" by the Rolling Stones.

Of course, "Heart of Glass" is one of the more sensible covers after the band released Reflektor, their disco rock LP that hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 upon its release last October.

Jett opened the program with a searing rendition of the band's signature tune, "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; Gordon of Sonic Youth fame followed on "Aneurysm"; St. Vincent (a.k.a. Annie Clark) performed "Lithium", and New Zealand pop sensation Lorde closed out the evening with a version of "All Apologies."

"Nirvana were artists in every sense of the word," said R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe in his induction speech. "Nirvana tapped into a voice that was yearning to be heard. Nirvana were kicking against the mainstream. They spoke truth and a lot of people listened."

"They were singular and loud and melodic and deeply original," he added. "And that voice. That voice. Kurt, we miss you. I miss you. This is not just pop music. This is something much greater than that."

Kurt Cobain's mother and sister were on hand, with his mom saying, "He would have pretended not be proud. But he would be. I miss him so much. He was an angel."

The band had this to say, "We are deeply saddened to announce that because of serious illness we have to cancel the remaining dates on our European Tour. Our hearts are broken.

"Nothing gives us more joy than playing, and we were looking forward to the places we would go, shows we would play, and people we would meet. But in this situation, health is the number one priority. We're very sorry to all the fans, and the promoters who are let down. Please send us your positive thoughts.

"For ticket refund please contact your point of purchase and we will try to make good for these canceled shows as soon as possible, and as of now this Summer's festival schedule remains confirmed as it is."

Frontman Josh Franceschi had the following to say about the band's new found success in the U.S., "Having a number one record in the UK this week has been a dream come true. To be Number one in the US New Artists Chart is incredible for us, and a huge step on from our previous releases." He continues, "Such an exciting start to a year which we intend to work very hard in the US and Canada."

He also hints that the band may be touring in North America soon, "We spent six months of 2013 in North America and it is truly our second home. Our US and Canadian fans can expect to see a lot more of us in 2014."

The new tour is scheduled to kick off on May 28th at the Masquerade in Atlanta, Ga and the trek will conclude on June 22nd in Tampa, FL at the Orpheum.

Eyehategod will be launching the tour in support of their forthcoming self-titled studio album, which is set for release on May 24th by Phil Anselmo's Housecore Records.

Beginning today (April 11th) at 3:30 p.m. PST, Coachella will be webcasting live from the music festival via their official YouTube channel. We were sent over these details:

You can watch performances from more than 70 acts including Lorde, Pharrell, The Replacements, Arcade Fire and Beck. And with three-hour late night blocks from EDM superstars like Skrillex, Martin Garrix, Zedd, Dillon Francis, Duck Sauce and more.

"High Road" will be offered in a standard version and also a deluxe version that will include two bonus tracks and a bonus DVD that will feature video of the making of the album and video clips.

Frontman Jack Blades had this to say about the album, "It's almost summer and a great time to take a trip down the High Road! Our new record features classic Night Ranger feel-good, high-energy kick-ass rock n' roll. We can't wait for our fans to hear."

The rocker teamed up with The Roots and long time guitarist Waddy Wachtel for the track; earlier in the program, Fallon - as Tom Petty - joined Nicks for a live re-creation of her classic 1981 video for "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around".

He announced that he will be celebrating his 25th anniversary as a solo artist with an appearance at the Bang Your Head Festival in Balingen, Germany on July 11th where he will be joined by special guests and the show will include a reunion with the original lineup of Steeler.

Pell has also revealed that he will be launching a new leg of his Into the Storm Tour in September with shows across Europe that will feature support from Rebellious Spirit/

The surviving members of Gwar are also planning to place a monument to Brockie in the band's hometown of Richmond, Virginia, and they'll hold a public memorial there on August 15.

McKagan rejoined GNR as a fill-in for bassist Tommy Stinson, who has obligations to play previously scheduled dates with The Replacements this month at the Coachella Festival.

As with his first GNR show in Buenoes Aires on Sunday, Duff handled lead vocals on a pair of covers, including The Misfits' "Attitude" and The Stooges' "Raw Power."

"Thank you and Gracias Paraguay! What a show! GNR," tweeted McKagan after the show, the second of five he'll play in South America this month with the group.
