His death was announced by the Ramones' official Twitter account in the early hours of Saturday morning. The account tweeted, "We are saddened to announce the passing of Ramones founding drummer Tommy (Erdelyi) Ramone. #RIPTommyRamone."

Born Erdelyi Tamas in Budapest, Hungary, he co-founded the Ramones in 1974 in New York along with singer Joey Ramone (born Jeffrey Hyman), bassist Dee Dee Ramone (Douglas Colvin) and guitarist Johnny Ramone (John Cummings). All four changed their stage names to "Ramone" after forming the band, something which all subsequent members of the band did as well.

In fact, they might even have two more records due out soon. In an interview with Rolling Stone, keyboardist Dizzy Reed said the band has "a s-tload of songs" leftover from Chinese Democracy sessions that could compromise another album or two. "If the new record is not done, then it's close to being done," he added.

Writing on Eyes Set To Kill's Facebook page, exec Daniel Vega says: "Anissa formed a blood clot behind her eye and is currently in the hospital. She is being monitored to determine what the next procedure will be to help assure a safe and speedy recovery.

The suggestion was that the new-look Sabbath would take a concept album based on a mythical monster visiting a Welsh pit village on the road, for the Minotaur/Miner Tour. Though the story was a joke, it sparked a conversation between Iommi and Jones which led to a friendship blossoming between the two men.

"I've met Tom a few times and we were talking one day and he said 'Did you ever see that thing in the press about me joining you guys?'" Iommi reveals. "I said 'Yes, I did' and he said 'It's not a bad idea, is it?'"

Due to the current security situation in Tel Aviv Israel, Neil Young & Crazy Horse have been forced to cancel their concert appearance originally scheduled for July 17th in Hayarkon Park.

A spokesperson for Young's camp said: "It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we must cancel our one and only Israeli concert due to tensions which have rendered the event unsafe at this time. We'll miss the opportunity to play for our fans and look forward to playing in Israel and Palestine in peace."

Billboard reports that industry sources have forecasted that the group's new album is set to sell upwards of 30,000 copies during it's first week in stores, which would be enough for the album to debut in the Top 10.

Created by bassist Robert Trujillo, the project is based on what happens at the tailgate party before a Metallica concert. The animated adventure is billed as part music video, part acid trip, jam-packed frenzy with surprise cameos and featuring an original score by Metallica.

He tells Deutsche Welle: "When you start a three-year farewell tour, you know you've got a long time ahead of you. But that long period went by much faster than we imagined. The closer we got to the goal - Munich in December 2012 - the stronger the feeling was that we hadn't come to the end at all.

"There were so many images in our minds and so many emotions in our hearts. Everything we experienced between 2010 and 2012, the 200 concerts, it was all so powerful. You stand on stage, look down and see so many fans, including the younger generation, who are really getting into it and saying, 'Guys, this is so cool. We're seeing you for the first time. When will you be back?'

Grohl addressed the Television Critics Association at an event in Beverly Hills last week (July 10) to reveal what will go into his eight-part series titled Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways, airing on HBO starting in October.

"Music can seem a little one dimensional� but when you get a little deeper into the artist or the song, it creates this emotional connection," Deadline reports Grohl said.

The series will explore multiple American cities, including Chicago, Nashville and Austin. In each Grohl will interview a local musician and record a song in a local studio. Rolling Stone reports that he referred to it as "a love letter to the history of American music."

"Around a month ago I woke up to find I was bleeding out of my butt," he reveals. "Over the next 20 minutes I lost all of the blood in my body - they had to replace 13 pints - and went into a coma for three days. After that I had this thing called an encephalopathy, which is temporary brain damage. I couldn't speak English and didn't know who I was or recognize anybody else. Basically, I was a vegetable and that condition lasted another six or seven days. I should have been dead at that point."

However, Trout survived. His body did not reject the new liver (he's unaware of the donor's identity). He is beginning to regain weight and his faculties are returning. He's even jovial enough to make a quip about his surname.

He has again taken to Facebook to claim he was paid $38,000 (�22,000) before tax for all his work with Testament in 2013. In his latest post, he even goes as far as to threaten legal action to recoup money he says he is owed.

Christian - a founding member of the band who left in 1996 but returned in 2004 - says: "I don't care any more. I'm done airing the ridiculous, and I'm saying my final piece here. I could go on for as many years as I was back in Testament with stories of being slighted, lies and greed, but my only real point or complaint is about live performance money.

Ahead of the band's recent headline slot on the Saturn Stage at Sonisphere, Petrucci tells TeamRock Radio: "Yeah, less cool is correct. Our second album came out and Nirvana and all that was all over the radio.

"For some strange reason for that time, 1992/93, Pull Me Under from that album somehow broke through and was a radio hit. It didn't make any sense in the midst of what was going on with grunge - but it was poking through and it was interesting.

Williams tells TeamRock Radio: "There's no problems between us - people always think that if someone leaves a band it's acrimonious, when we stayed friends.

"At the time Dan couldn't do what we needed him to do, but now he can. We decided, 'Time to move on and continue working with him.' It's great fun, exciting, and it just feels natural again.

The Judas Priest frontman says on Nikki Sixx's Sixx Sense radio show: "I've been a huge Queen fan since they began. I actually went and saw some of their very, very, very early shows in England, and they just blew me away. I just couldn't believe it. These guys were doing extraordinary things for that time in rock and roll. And the thing is, at the end of the day, it's the music, the music, the music. The music lives longer than we do."

Kirk Von Hammett Toys teamed up with the Famous Zombies Jr. to create a very limited-edition Hammett action figure based on his horror film-loving alter-ego.

Hammett will appear at Comic-Con to sign the toy at the Nuclear Blast SDCC booth 503 on Friday July 25th from 1pm to 2pm, and on Saturday July 26th from 2pm to 3pm.

Fans will be able to purchase tickets starting on Wednesday July 23rd for the Friday appearance. Once Friday's tickets are sold-out, Saturday tickets will be released. Tickets are available at the Nuclear Blast Records booth (503).

"I'm stoked to be bringing more exclusive wares to the San Diego Comic Con," says Hammett. "Nuclear Blast have been friends for quite some time, so I'm happy to be able to bring one of my exclusives to their booth. Being a fan of comics and movies since I was a kid, it's just a huge honor to be at Comic Con on both sides, selling and buying!"

Set to premiere on September 22, Nicks won't be the only new face on the show: Pharrell Williams and No Doubt's Gwen Stefani will debut as coaches as they take over spots filled last season by Usher and Shakira, and previously used by Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera.

And it seems that the band's choice of locale has been key. "We've been writing it on a remote island just off the coast of Ireland," he explains. "It's been a really inspirational place to work and a real luxury to be able to do that. It's a great place to write songs. There's really nothing to do but rock out and enjoy the scenery and the Atlantic. We have loads of super-strong material."

Hawkins' guitar-toting brother Dan reveals that it wasn't the first place they tried, but is glad they ended up there. "We just thought it was about time we f***ing made an amazing album," he offers. "We wanted to be inspired and write it in an inspirational place. Our first attempt was in Ibiza, but unfortunately we just sat around in shorts and drank non-alcoholic beer by the pool and ended up writing calypso tunes. So Ireland is the complete opposite."

"I despise the term 'classic rock.' Whoever came up with that should be publicly shamed," he said. "It may be convenient for VH1 or certain publications, but this particular period of rock music has become nothing more than a scrap yard for ironic T-shirts. It's been marginalized and pushed into a certain space, and that's unfortunate. There's so many artists still making vital music."

Lita Ford's Living Like A Runaway: A Memoir is out in November. The 320-page hardcover book promises to be revealing. Ford says, "It's an autobiography about my life, the paths I've taken, all the different musical eras. It covers everything really, from me growing up, to The Runaways and Lita, and all the things I've been through and experiences I've had."

Joy Division/New Order's Bernard Sumner has also written a book, Chapter and Verse. This is out September 25. It could be explosive as ex-Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook's book caused controversy. New Order are planning a new album for 2015, their first without any Peter Hook input.

And Anthrax's Scott Ian will publish I'm The Man: The Official Story Of Anthrax in October. Scott Ian says, "What makes mine different is that it doesn't take the usual story arc that most of these rock/metal biographies and autobiographies do. That arc is usually the rise to fame, the fame, the crash and burn and then some sort of redemption. I don't have that story arc. I don't know what you would call my story genre, but it's more about coming from nothing and being able to do all that I have done.

The band has gone through a number of lineup changes, most notably bringing in new singer Marek Majewski and replacing guitarist Bartek Bereska with Jan Mitoraj.

Bass player Lukasz Lisiak says: "As you already know, the new album is being created by a modified and refreshed line-up. Just how much modified, we'll probably reveal pretty soon.

They stretched out considerably on "Rats in the Cellar" (from 1976′s Rocks), jamming at the song's end. They're tight enough players that they could grow out their songs to Zeppelin-like lengths in concert if they chose to do so. "That's what this band is all about!" Steven Tyler hollered after the song.

Another thing the band is about: Tyler's ageless charisma. While the band jams on their instruments, he plays the audience with a skill unmatched by anyone in rock music. He gained a few extra cheers during "Livin' on the Edge," when he wandered to the VIP section and shared the mic with his daughter, Liv (standing with her Leftovers co-star Justin Theroux). But he rarely stayed still throughout the show, save for his piano playing during "Dream On."

Another thing that the band is all about is the camaraderie between Tyler and Joe Perry. There's a perception that the two hate each other (helped by Tyler's now-infamous "Yeah, I'm that good" comment on an interview with "60 Minutes"). Well, if that's true, they kept the drama off the stage. Unlike, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who generally don't interact too much onstage at Rolling Stones shows, Tyler and Perry share the mic often, with Tyler draping himself over the guitarist often throughout the show. He did the same, but less often, with bassist Tom Hamilton and guitarist Brad Whitford.

"Okay, so it wasn't a conventional wedding...," posted Campbell. "My thanks to Leppard tour manager, Malvin Mortimer for performing the ceremony in the spirit of a Welsh James Brown. Lesley Mortimer-Wallace for being the ultimate wedding planner. And of course to my beautiful girl for having me."

Campbell shared the wedding news on July 5, telling fans, "My girl and I got married yesterday. We had a great ceremony featuring family and friends and the Leppard band and crew. So happy! Pictures to follow."

The song, which originally appeared on 1989's "Dr. Feelgood", peaked at No. 19 on the US Billboard 100 singles chart. Due August 19, the tribute project sees a variety of country artists covering Motley Crue tracks, including performances by Rascal Fatts, LeAnne Rimes, Florida Georgia Line, Darius Rucker, Gretchen Wilson and more

"Anything" is one of those songs that just fell out of the sky. It was written very quickly: drums, rhythm guitar, lead guitars and lead melody all came together in one day. I'm not sure what I was going for when I started putting the song together; I was just sitting with my guitar in front of ProTools and then all of a sudden, there it was! The songs that come together like this are always a pleasure.

Now let me contradict myself! I write a lot of music, at least a song a week. The vast majority of these songs never see the light of day. These songs are not bad, there just "okay." There is always a good idea here and there, but the song as a whole is just "okay," so I always try to remember the good ideas from mediocre songs. What ends up happening is I get to take all of the good ideas and just mash them into one song, usually without realizing I have done it. All the work is done before I have even started. This was the case with "Anything."

After getting the blueprint of the song together, I started reviewing my running lyric sheet that I keep on my phone. I write little phrases on my phone as the come from me, I have tons of half verses, and little choruses saved. What resonates with me are statements and words that are somewhat ambiguous, but emotionally powerful, because I like it when the listener gets to exercise their imagination when the lyrics pass. So, I found a little snippet lyrics in my phone which I must have wrote while waiting for the subway, "Lies are okay/no, god don't mind/He stays quiet day after day." From there I flushed out the feelings behind the snippet of lyrics I decided to use.

So sure, I can say that "Anything" is just a song about the hard the times I have been through over past few years (which is true) and I can say the song is about my experience wrestling with faith, desperation in hard times, and the longing for times past (which is also true). I did not, and I never consciously try to write about my exact experience. I do not want to force my exact experience on the listener, because I want them to make the music about them! So the verses paint a very common portrait of loss, which if you haven't experienced, you aren't breathing. The pre-choruses pontificate on the absence of divine intervention. The choruses are a moment of desperation, filled with heartache and pain. We are all trying to live the best life possible, and during those times when happiness and success seems in possible, we break down, willing to do anything for our little peace of heaven. Why is this happening in the song? Why is our narrator feeling this way? The specifics don't matter. Our narrator is only human, just like our listener, and I know what it means to me, but the listeners will hopefully put themselves into the song, becoming not just part of the music but the subject of the song.

"Anything" is just a moment of humanity, a snapshot of my life, and hopefully a snapshot of your life.
