Gwar's Dave Brockie Gets Flaming Send Off

(TeamRock Radio) The life of former Gwar frontman Dave Brockie, aka Oderus Urungus, has been celebrated in a Viking-style ceremony in his hometown. The band used their annual Gwar-B-Q festival at Hadad's Lake in Richmond, Virginia to remember the singer, who died in March of an accidental heroin overdose.

And to mark the event, Brockie's stage costume was set ablaze in a Viking funeral pyre on the water. Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe, who was a close friend of the singer, said: "Watching my friend Dave's costume go up in flames in front of a thousand fans was so much more intense for me that the private memorial for friends and family we had on April Fool's Day.

"I spoke at both of them and both times were sad. But watching his alter ego burn tore me up way more than the first memorial. Maybe because there was Dave, the human and my friend who just left us; and then there was Oderus, who was something else entirely. To watch his stage gear burn was like watching part of my life go up in flames."

Def Leppard's Joe Elliott Pulls Out Of BSR Album

(Classic Rock) Joe Elliott has called off plans to produce Black Star Riders' second album after his Def Leppard schedule went "insane." BSR frontman Ricky Warwick says the change is unfortunate - but he'd have done the same thing in his friend's position.

Elliott was confirmed for the hot seat in January, after a long history with the Thin Lizzy offshoot including remixed the band's catalogue alongside guitarist Scott Gorham.

But Warwick tells Rock N'Load: "We haven't got Joe producing it. We did have Joe, but he's not doing it any more. He's unfortunately had to pull out of the doing the album, just due to the fact that Leppard have gone insane.

"They're out with Kiss and there's loads of stuff going on. Both of us are very sorry." More with Warwick here.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra To Play Christmas Attic On Winter Tour

Trans-Siberian Orchestra have announced their upcoming Winter Tour and revealed that they will be performing their 1998 rock opera The Christmas Attic on the trek for the very first time.

The group will be kicking off the tour on November 13th in Toledo OH at the Huntington Center and wrapping up the 71 city trek on January 4th in Hartford CT at the XL Center.

TSO's Paul O'Neill had this to say about what fans can expect from the tour, "After kicking off the New Year in front of two million fans at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, followed by our second European tour, the band felt that a perfect way to end the year would be to perform the only rock opera from the trilogy that has never been seen live. Some of the songs off The Christmas Attic have never been played live.

"As I have always said 'it is fun to write the songs, it is fun to record them, but they are never really completed until we perform them in front of a live arena audience.'

"Of course the second half of the show will feature, TSO iconic classics and fan favorites, such as 'Wizards In Winter,' 'Requiem' and 'Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo 12/24'." more on this story

Bob Seger Releasing New Album 'Ride Out' In October

Bob Seger surprised fans this weekend with the release of a new song and then on Monday he revealed the details of his new studio album, entitled "Ride Out".

Seger produced the new album, which features his renowned mix of rock, blues and country music styles and Capitol Records will release the new full length on October 14th.

Here is what Seger had to say about the new effort, "I feel really good about this record," says Seger. "This album touches on how I think a lot of us feel about finding our place in a more complicated world - from how we appreciate things as simple and pure as love, to navigating through the corruption and violence that permeates the news. It sums up a lot of feelings I have about a variety of subjects."

Fans that saw Seger's 2013 tour got a small taste of the album with his performance of the tracks "All of The Roads" and "California Stars" as well as the album's first single, a cover of John Hiatt's "Detroit Made". Fans can listen to the first single here.

Opeth's New Album Pale Communion Streaming Online

(Prog) Opeth have launched an exclusive stream of their highly-anticipated 11th album Pale Communion. All eight tracks are streaming on Prog's website, ahead of its official release next week.

Mainman Mikael Akerfeldt recently told how he'd first thought of calling the record Nux Vomica after a herbal remedy used to treat those suffering from light and sound sensitivity.

He said: "It comes from the same tree that produces the poison strychnine. I liked how it looked and everything. But then somebody read about the side effects, and it was erection problems and constipation.

"I figured, 'That's going be the first question in interviews,' - and I thought it was maybe not a good title after all." Check out the album stream here.

Iron Maiden Plan To Expand Trooper Beer Line

(hennemusic) Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson says he is planning to expand the band's Trooper Beer line following the successful launch of the brand last year.

"We may develop some more beers in the future and I've got a couple in mind, but we're quite away from making any decisions yet," the singer told the Morning Advertiser. "The key thing is that they will be under the umbrella of Trooper and not Iron Maiden. Trooper has taken on a life if its own. People drink it because they like the beer, not because they are Maiden fans."

Dickinson and the band launched their own ale, Trooper Beer, in the spring of 2013. Named after one of Iron Maiden's most popular songs, the beverage was personally designed and developed as a top quality Premium British Beer by the singer in tandem with Robinsons Brewery Head Brewer Martyn Weeks. more on this story

Sixx A.M. Tease New Song 'Stars'

(Classic Rock) Sixx A.M. have released a teaser for Stars, the first track on their forthcoming album Modern Vintage. And frontman James Michael says the track came together "perfectly."

"As far as a quintessential Sixx A.M. song, I think Stars might be one of the best songs we've ever written," he says. "It does everything Sixx AM does on a heightened level. It's one of the most aggressive rock songs we have - the tempo is a lot faster than we usually write.

"It's one of those moments you always hope for as a songwriter, where the melody line, lyric and the track all marry. That chorus explodes - it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, and I've heard it thousands of times."

The band released the first taster from the album earlier this month, featuring Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters, saying they'd aimed to create a record that "confounds both expectation and categorisation."

Check out the Stars tease here.

He tells GetYourRockOut: "We have some songs that were actually written for Doomsday For The Deceiver and No Place For Disgrace, that never made it. We're pulling those out of the vault and we're going to kind of revamp them, and see if we can turn them into something cool."

Knutson says there have been big changes in the band in recent years, spearheaded by the arrival of guitarist Steve Conley and bassist Michael Spencer, who replaced Edward Carlson and Jason Ward.

Phil Varone Fires Back At Skid Row's Sabo

(TeamRock Radio) Ex-Skid Row drummer Phil Varone has lashed out at his former bandmates after guitarist Dave Sabo criticized the way he lived his life. Varone took to Facebook to respond to comments made by Skid Row's Sabo, who called the drummer's 2007 documentary Waking Up Dead "gross".

In a furious post, the sticksman writes: "I'm normally not one to acknowledge clueless, jealous dummies, but in this case it's just too good to pass up and I'm sick and tired of these douchebags running their mouths.

"I always find it funny when the pot calls the kettle black and judging from the piece of sh*t records this sad cover band put out after I left, they are still clueless and still very much jealous.

Biohazard Not Overshadowed By Former Singer's Adult Film Links

(TeamRock Radio) Biohazard drummer Danny Schuler believes the band's music could have become overwhelmed by former frontman Evan Seinfeld's adult film connections.

He left the band in 2011 after building a career in the adult industry with now ex-wife and porn star Tera Patrick, and he's appeared in several movies under the name Spyder Jonez.

But Schuler says he hasn't seen any change in Biohazard's audience as a result of Seinfeld's activities - and he feels that's good news. "To me, Biohazard has always been about rising above the sh*t in life that f***s you up. We've always had the band to express things that bothered us. I don't see the tie-in with pornography. I never wanted it there and I'm glad it's gone."

But he adds: "I know it's funny; I know it's great to joke about it. But when my kids go online and they search 'Biohazard' and porno comes up instead of music - that sucks. We're trying to do positive things. Good things."

Check out the full interview here.

Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess Reflects On David Bowie Sessions

(Gibson) Jordan Rudess wears many hats - Dream Theater keyboard player, solo artist, music app developer via Wizdom Music - but one of his lesser known jobs was as one of the keyboard players on David Bowie's 2002 album Heathen.

In a forthcoming interview with Blunt Magazine to be published in September, Rudess says he contributed to a number of sessions on a variety of vintage and otherwise interesting keyboards.

"One day I walked in and there were two pianos, a baby grand and a really funky upright," Rudess says. "I thought "Okay, I'll definitely be playing the baby grand." But no, David's piano was this funky upright and he was having it especially tuned for this album. Then producer Tony Visconti said "Y'know what? Don't play the upright, play the baby grand but we'll mic the upright which is right next to it, we'll tape the sustain pedal down on the floor and we'll mic the resonance of the upright piano."

Rudess looks back fondly on his time working with Bowie. "I had a great time with him," he says. "He was very verbally-descriptive and he was great at putting together verbal scenarios to put me in the mood to play whatever track he wanted." More on this story.

Derek Trucks Remembers Johnny Winter

(TeamRock Radio) Allman Brothers Band's Derek Trucks has told how he reacted to the death of Johnny Winter - and he's described the late icon as "an uncle and a kindred spirit."

Winter passed away on tour in Switzerland last month at the age of 70. He and Trucks had performed together on many occasions, and the outgoing Allman Brothers Band guitarist tells The Blues Magazine: "Johnny was a strong presence in my life long before I met him and got to know him.

"He was one of the handful of musicians I really studied growing up. It's a major loss. I don't see that many musicians with that type of musical integrity that are trying to carry it on." More on this story.

Lacuna Coil Singer Found 'Broken Crown Halo' Therapeutic

(TeamRock Radio) Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia says working on seventh album 'Broken Crown Halo' was a form of self-therapy. The follow-up to 2012's 'Dark Adrenaline' was released in March - and while the singer is happy with the way it's been received, she's even happier from a personal point of view.

Scabbia tells GetYourRockOut: "When we put out records, we don't really think about the response - not because we don't care, but it's more like a self-therapy. It's like writing a diary and translating it with words and music.

"We've put something out that we think is honest from our side. It's a great combination between our roots and new influences."

She says the band are also happy with the way things are going on the road, despite the departures of guitarist Cristiano Migliore and drummer Cristiano Mozzati. "It's hard for me to even call it a split," she reflects. "It's been really smooth. They just decided they wanted to change their lives - they were getting tired of life on the road."

Queensryche Compare Parting With Tate To Getting Over Illness

(Prog) Queensryche's Scott Rockenfield says parting with Geoff Tate was like shaking off a long-term "sickness". The band settled a long-running legal dispute with former frontman Tate in April this year, with Tate's band now performing under the name Operation: Mindcrime.

And while much has been said of both parties' relief at the settlement, drummer Rockenfield says things were tense while Tate was still in the band. He was replaced by Todd La Torre in 2012, leading to a situation where two bands called Queensryche were touring and recording.

Rockenfield tells Pop Break: "The conflict started years ago, but prior to it when we were all still working together in the old band, we had been in a dark place for a long time. It wasn't going well, the years were stacking up on us, we weren't making the music we were passionate about and were being forced to do a lot of things we didn't want to do.

"We weren't being allowed to play all of the music we wanted to play live, and to give our fans what we thought was important. The darker the hole we kept falling into, the faster we wanted to get out of it. That's what happens, you kind of hit the bottom of a hole, and there's only one way to go - up and out of there."

Sacking Tate and bringing in La Torre had an instant positive impact on morale, Rockenfield adds, saying it felt like shaking off an illness. Read what he had to say here.

(TeamRock Radio) TeamRock are streaming Pallbearer's second full-length album, Foundations Of Burden, exclusively for one week. The album is being released today, August 19 via Profound Lore Records,

Foundations Of Burden might be steeped in doom lore - you can find traces of the inconsolable pastoralism of My Dying Bride, Katatonia's long-haunted hinterlands and Ozzy's exiled croon - but this is doom shone through a prism, breaking out into an array of dazzling, last-light hues that feel like you're entering into virgin if still exquisitely forlorn territory.

Thanks to the good grace of Profound Lore, we are very proud to host the album in full. You have one week only to immerse yourself in its glory, so enter now or mourn its passing, and check out our interview with bass player Joseph D Rowland and stream the album here.

Singled Out: Halcyon Way's Home

Today Halcyon Way lead guitarist Jon Bodan tells us about the powerful story behind the song "Home" from their brand new album "Conquer," which was released today (Aug 19) in North America. Here is the story:

For those of you guys that aren't familiar with the HW story, I found out shortly before the release of our 2nd album "Building The Towers" that I had Lymphoma, which is a cancer of the blood. Needless to say, I went straight into some serious treatment and our touring plans came to a screeching halt for a while. As part of the treatments, I was not able to leave my home, except to go to the doctor, for about 5 months. During that time, I spent countless hours writing music in my studio. Out of those sessions came most of the material for the new Halcyon Way album, but also several side projects.

"Home" was one of the first tracks I wrote for Conquer. It started out with the main riff and the keyboard part, and went from there. The lyrics are really about finding your center of gravity personally, and about knowing where you came from and what makes you who you are. It's easy to become disconnected from your roots, especially when going through something like what I was dealing with. So, musically and lyrically that's what it was kind of about.

Now, here's where it gets pretty interesting. My parents, prior to them passing away recently, had retired to the country in Louisiana. They'd bought 75 acres and built a farmhouse. This house was a replica of a nearby house that had been in our family for over 100 years, but was in too much disrepair for them to renovate and live in.

The last time I went to that house before my parents sold the property, it was during my treatment but prior to the time I was confined to my house. I had my guitar with me, and spent some of that trip writing material that ended up on Conquer, including what would become the main riff in the title track. I did that writing in a particular bedroom on the top floor of the house.

Now, fast forward about 18 months. The album is recorded, and we're working on the artwork with our good friend Travis Smith. We had asked him to come up with pieces of art for various songs, and we kinda gave him general ideas that could work, but ultimately left it to him to create something cool. We've worked with him for 3 albums now, and we know each other well, and we trust him.

So, I get a comp of the panel for "Home", and I freaked out when I saw it. Turns out that he did a picture of a creepy old house, and the door was opening with a light behind it. There was a tentacle coming out of the door (tentacles are a recurring design theme on our albums). The house he had used as a basis for the piece was almost EXACTLY like my parents' house. The angle of the shot was straight onto the bedroom where I had written the material.

To get how eerie this really was, you have to understand that first off, my parents' house was a replica of two houses that had actually been combined, so it wasn't a really common look; it was old-school Depression Era engineering, and they had faithfully recreated it to the inch. Secondly, I had sent Travis NO pictures or other direction on this....nothing at all. I emailed him and said "Dude, do you have any idea how crazy this is?" He said to me "I was looking for stock photography of different houses, and had a few to choose from, but I felt COMPELLED to use that one."

That was a very powerful thing to me - it was meant to be. One thing about being an artist is that sometimes you're reminded through things like this about how powerful music can be; not sure what the reader may or may not believe about the spiritual, but it's hard to explain away something like that as a coincidence.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
