"It's something that had actually been happening for a long time," Angus tells Rolling Stone as promotes the band's new album "Rock Or Bust." Malcolm's symptoms - lapses in memory and concentration - "had surfaced even before the last project," AC/DC's 2008 album, "Black Ice."

But Angus says Malcolm was "still capable of knowing what he wanted to do. I had said to him, 'Do you want to go through with what we're doing?' And he said, 'Sh*t, yeah.' " Malcolm, Angus points out, "liked to finish what he started."

Angus also reveals that Malcolm was already in treatment during his last tour with AC/DC, from 2008 to 2010. "He got good help, good medical care," Angus says. Malcolm had to "relearn a lot of things."

Now she says she gets frustrated when fans post online comments insisting the group are through. She tells Sixx Sense With Nikki Sixx: "It's frustrating sometimes when you read the Internet.

"I get a little frustrated when I say, 'No, the band is not over, we're just not doing it now.' And then every response is, 'Evanescence is dead.' It's like, 'That's not what I said. Why do you have to make drama?'

The event will see fans get an exclusive preview of the band's new CD, with special cocktails and rare prizeswhile previewing the new album two weeks before its North American release on December 2.

Grohl, who's developed a reputation as one of rock's nice guys, has been on somewhat of a grumpy roll as of late, taking down one-album anniversary tours and, now, anyone who's complaining about Spotify.

When asked by Digital Spy about Taylor Swift's recent decision to remove her catalog from Spotify-which she explained thoroughly in her TIME cover story-Grohl made it known that he doesn't share her thoughts.

"Me personally?" he said. "I don't f**king care. That's just me, because I'm playing two nights at Wembley next summer. I want people to hear our music, I don't care if you pay $1 or f**king $20 for it, just listen to the f**king song. But I can understand how other people would object to that."

According to Billboard, the Trailblazer Award "honors a standout female artist who breaks from convention to make a unique mark in music and pave the way for other talent."

Now he says he has hardly any money left and he's waiting for cash from the government. He says on Facebook: "I've been on a bit of a sabbatical and wasted the better part of this year trying to save the un-savable. C'est la vie.

"Anyone that's tried to call me, my dumb ass ran over my iPhone a couple days before Halloween. I still haven't replaced it yet and have less than $150 to my name until my next EDD (unemployment) payment comes in, so my email has become my main communication."

Now they've been confirmed as headliners at next year's British Summer Time festival. They'll appear on Friday, June 26, with special guests Paul Weller, Kaiser Chiefs and Johnny Marr, with more to be announced.

He tells AXS: "I think that 10 years, I needed. It seasoned me, and I'm back, I'm ready and it's great. This is just like a present I can't wait for everybody to open! It's just awesome, so I'm ready to go."

He also reveals he only had a few days to learn the tracks from Blood In, Blood Out and it was a frantic period of activity for him and the rest of the band.

Fleetwood Mac recently welcomed Christine McVie back to the fold after 16 years. Fleetwood tells the Guardian: "That whole 'extreme fear and loathing' thing is a load of bollocks. It's boring when I have to explain why we still want to be doing this. Some bands admit they don't like each other, but they can sign a piece of paper and walk on stage. Nothing wrong with that, but we can't do it. We have to have some emotional credibility to what we're doing.

Guitarist CJ Pierce tells Metalholic: "We have more songs written now than our entire back catalog. We have so many songs. In the dressing room today, I was working on some music. Now it's a matter of, what kind of record do we wanna make?

Slipknot are riding high on the success of their new album 5: The Gray Chapter, which topped the charts in the US and Canada and landed at no.2 in the UK.

Headlining for the third time feels like the culmination of a life's dream - it's an honour and we're all looking forward to it."

Now Wilson reports: "This time it will be in collaboration with Thomas Koner, the 'godfather' of isolationist music. His 1992 album Teimo - using the sounds of gongs recorded underwater - is one of my all-time favourite ambient records.

The event's house band will complete the bill performing rock classics of Metallica, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Scorpions and many more.

Yes, there is a whole lot of irony in the fact that decades ago, Rudd was drumming on a song about hiring a hitman. However, his charge for trying to procure a murder has since been dropped, and Rudd is now left with his drug possession charges along with threatening to kill someone.

The Washington DC post-hardcore heroes release First Demo on November 18 via Dischord Records. It is a remastered version of Ian MacKaye and co's 1988 collection of demos, most of which ended up being re-recorded for later releases.

But already the singer is keen to get back to work. And the enthusiasm of guitarist Richie Faulkner is what's fuelling the fire. Halford tells Trunk Nation: "I go into the dressing room every night and Richie's jamming - that guy never stops playing his guitar."

The app was launched at the Goldhawk Club, scene of many of The Who's early gigs, in the band's old stamping ground of Sherpherd's Bush. It was attended by the likes of Roger Daltrey, Who manager Bill Curbishley, turntable legend Grandmaster Flash, and the local scooter club.

The band have already made the tracks Exterminate and Dirty Nails available for streaming, and viewers paying attention to the Conformist video will notice links to both tracks at the tail end of the promo clip.

"The straightedge philosophy is something that we gravitated toward at a young age, drawn by concepts and ideals that seem almost foreign in modern society," Havok and Puget say. "Like much of the other subcultures we were a part of growing up, it put us at odds with 99% of the people around us, which was something we embraced. It seemed natural that this crucial ideology would find a musical expression. This record is one of the most important we've made. The songs are of purity, passion and truth. May they speak to you."

Plant spoke about his latest album, "lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar", the personality of his band The Sensational Space Shifters, and other things during the appearance.

The Led Zeppelin singer kicked off a 13-date UK tour on November 9 in Newport, Wales.

Tyler teamed up with Recovery Unplugged Creative Director - and original Aerosmith rhythm guitarist - Richie Supa to perform songs for the group, including the band's 1993 smash, "Amazing", which the two co-wrote.

The band say: "Growing up with bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam during the era of MTV Unplugged, we have always had a fondness for acoustic interpretations and versions of songs.

"This was something we just did for fun but were really happy with how it turned out. With the music being stripped back we felt the video was a fitting portrayal."

Bassett says: "After writing and producing numerous KingBathmat albums and more recently the acoustic solo album Unearth, I decided I wanted to create my first instrumental album, and I wanted it to be set, audibly and visually in a dark, bleak apocalyptic aura of despair and anger.

"I wanted to focus on enormous riffs and sorrowful yet powerful musical refrains and place them within a terrain of unusual time signatures interspersed by moments of psychedelic calm."

The Cowboys include vocalist Marc Eden (who's worked with Slash and Ariel Bender), Timo Kaltio (Izzy Stradlin and Hanoi Rocks) and Quireboys bass player Nigel Mogg. In May, the band performed at the Classic Rock-sponsored Camden Rocks festival.

"The song's about a young aristocratic lady of high breeding, led astray by a terrible man," says Eden (a distant heir to the British throne). "Only the names have been changed, because we forgot them�"

Pr�cis begins with a brooding electronic pulse (one that wouldn't be out of place in Tangerine Dream piece) over which Colin's bass and Jon's clouds etch a fairly ominous vibe. However, once the rhythms kick in, the clouds begin to disperse, and the mood begins to lift a bit. A distant trumpet (guitar synth) over a chord sequence heralds faint hope before Colin starts in with a Percy Jones-esque harmonic slide on his fretless bass and the piece begins its urgency.

Lead guitar doubled with Trumpet blast out a strong melodic statement building to a major climax when the chord progression returns and signals a new bass theme over which the guitar and trumpet triumphantly restate the original theme. Eventually the storm dissipates with clouds echoing away over electronic pulses as it had begun.
