"Sometime in September, Mick and I are gonna get together and write some music," Gramm said to Rochester, N.Y.'s 95.1 the Brew, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. "I'm excited about it and very much looking forward to it.
"I'm actually helping him with a couple of songs on a solo album that he's gonna be releasing, and he's gonna help me with a couple of songs on an album that I'll be releasing next year."
Although Jones was recently quoted as saying that he and Gramm were considering working together on leftover music from the 1980s, Gramm says that the material is much newer.
"It's actually the songs we were writing, working on together when we split up in 2003," Gramm says. "So those were songs that were done at the end of the '90s and early '00s, and they're really good."
Doctors in Germany say the man complained of a persistent headache in the weeks following the gig and they discovered bleeding on the brain which developed into a clot, the BBC reports.
The man said he had no history of head trauma and said he hadn't been drinking excessively or taken any drugs. But he added he had been headbanging at the 2012 gig.
Surgeons at Hannover Medical School successfully removed the clot, but in their case report, the doctors warned: "Some fans might be endangered by indulging in excessive headbanging."

Macca's unexpected choices work in the video's favor. But the decision to briefly show Depp is also part of an inside joke between the pair, who've worked together before on Paul McCartney's videos for "My Valentine" (2012) and "Queenie Eye" (2013). "It's getting to be a running gag," McCartney told Rolling Stone. "He's like the Alfred Hitchcock of my videos. And he's good!"
It wasn't hard for Depp to get into character, especially considering he has a musical pastime - as a guitarist, he contributed to Oasis' 1997 song "Fade In-Out" and was a member of the supergroup P, alongside Butthole Surfers' singer Gibby Haynes, Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, and Sex Pistols' guitarist Steve Jones.
"He used to be a musician before he was an actor, you know," McCartney explained. "One of his old bandmates actually organized getting me that cigar-box guitar that I played with Dave Grohl on 'Cut Me Some Slack,' that we ended up getting a GRAMMY for. So I knew he could play."
But even if Depp didn't have prior experience in a band, McCartney likely still would have cast him; he thinks that actors are naturally suited to try their hand at music, and vice-versa. "They're similar gigs, really," he added. "Ringo [Starr] used to know Peter Sellers very well, and Peter wanted to be a drummer - that was his secret closet ambition. You run into a lot of guys who play who are actors. There a bunch you can think of. Bruce Willis does it. Then there are people who do both, like Jared Leto."

"Thanks to everyone who purchased the 13 album and came to see us play along the tour!," posted the band. "We received a plaque at Hyde Park for 1 Million sales and the album reaching #1 in 14 countries. Thank you all!"

Guitarist Beaulieu tells Impact: "It just wasn't working out. At that time, it was best to go our separate ways instead of trying to keep going on and then something happening and having an effect on shows or anything like that.
"It was very calm and chill, but it just needed to happen. Sometimes, after a while, things just aren't going the way you kind of hope for and you've got to make a switch. It's a pain in the ass to switch members and get someone up to speed. But Mat's been doing great. He came into the role and he's been doing a great job playing the songs and playing the shows."

He says: "I wanna make a punk album like Rancid or the Gaslight Anthem maybe, Tom Petty floating around my head. That kind of short and sharp sound. I could call Brian Fallon if I wanted to.
"I spent an entire year on tour with The Gaslight Anthem and they are awesome people and I miss them, so maybe I should call them. We'll see. There's a song on the record which is written to be a duet, as it's a conversation between a man and a woman, and some really exciting people are on the table and old friends I'd love to play with. I've definitely said too much."

"After a successful show and great weekend overall at the Ragnarokkr Metal Apocalypse festival in Chicago last April, the band decided that a change was needed in order for Axemaster to best move forward. We are now proud to announce that Denny Archer (who played with the band at the festival) is now the permanent drummer of Axemaster.
"As mentioned in our previous press release, Denny and Joe Sims played together for a number of years in the late 90's with a very successful band called Reign, so they already have chemistry in both playing and writing together which has already proven to be very beneficial. Denny is highly experienced, an absolute professional, and a greatly respected world-class drummer who has played and/or recorded with a number of higher level projects. It's an honor to include him in the Axemaster family, his addition has already done and will continue to do a lot for the project in every way.
"Joe Sims said 'I can't totally express how happy and excited I am that Denny decided to come on board for the long run. I have known him since we were little kids, we're like family! Actually, all the way around, this band has an AMAZING lineup. It's beyond great to be able to work with a group of guys who are not only outstanding musicians, but also professionals in every sense of the word and the best of friends. No egos, no drama, no problems; unless you have been in or worked closely with bands you have no idea how rare that is!!!!'"
"Although a lot of work still needs to be done to finish the new Axemaster album 'Overture to Madness', enough has been completed to allow us to submit material and begin talking to labels about its release. Quite a few have expressed interest, and the band is currently in negotiations with one in particular. We will go into more detail once there is more definite information. Although mixing and mastering each song takes quite a length of time to compete (due to several different factors), all the work is proving to be VERY worthwhile as we believe the most recently completed masters definitely have the sound quality necessary to be considered entirely professional.
"Lastly, as fate would have it, the album that Joe and Denny recorded with Reign (originally released independently in 1997) titled "Now and Forever" was recently re-released on CD by Divebomb/Tribunal Records. It's been re-mastered (much improved sound) and includes new killer artwork, vintage photos, song lyrics, and an interview with Joe."

Ahead of Limp Bizkit's Apollo Stage appearance at Sonisphere earlier this week, Durst told TeamRock Radio: "We are going to work on getting Stampede out first but EPs are fun and something we are going to get more and more into. I grew up loving EPs and we can put one out whenever we want and that's probably what we will do.
"We probably won't let anyone know when they are coming out. You want to discover those things form the bands you love, like 'Sh*t, I'm a core fan and I know this is out.' So it isn't something we will market."

Due July 8, the project was produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, Foreigner, Alice Cooper), while longtime Yes associate Roger Dean handled the cover art.
This past weekend, Yes kicked off a US tour to support the project. The shows see the band performing two albums in their entirety - 1971's "Fragile" (for the first-time ever) and a repeat performance from last year's tour of 1972's "Close To The Edge" - followed by an encore of their greatest hits.

I wrote a song for my comedy/dance band "The Funky Knights" in the 90s called "Black Limousine". It was, like lots of our songs, raunchy, sexy and funny. The chorus always sounded like a hit to me, so after that band went on sabbatical, I considered if for Rickity. Rickity has a lot of sexy songs, but the silly quality wouldn't fit with us. I jammed on the idea with Rickity and all of a sudden it took on a dark, urban sultriness. I went a little overboard with the poetic eroticism of the lyrics, which seemed to fit the slow funk crawl of the main riff.
Our first jam seemed magical and I was grateful that we had recorded it on multi-track. Neil's uncharacteristically restrained drum part was almost flawless, so we started testing overdubs as our first cd progressed. Many months went by and we tinkered with "Black Limousine" as we completed 2 cds worth of songs in the studio. I don't think anyone thought the song was a contender for our cd. Even though we rehearsed two hours of music, we never even bothered to learn the song.
When Paul and Perrita finally nailed their vocals, all of a sudden there it was! Everyone acknowledged we had a one of a kind little gem.I think we were a little intimidated to attempt to play it live, but it fell into place easily. It doesn't sound like anything like any of our other songs. The version on the cd was completed before we had even attempted to play it live.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album
