Megadeth Frontman's Missing Mother-In-Law Found Dead

Rolling Stone reports that the album will highlight his country side with a pedal steel track called "Drinking Beer with Dad," which Rock says is "one of the best songs I've ever written."

Meanwhile, two other songs featured on First Kiss, "Jesus and Bocephus" and "Johnny Cash" pays tribute to country greats Hank Williams Jr. and Johnny Cash. The latter, fittingly titled "Johnny Cash," is a love song that is dedicated to the love between Cash and June Carter Cash.

The warrant was withdrawn when Rudd, 60, appeared minutes later. He entered no plea, and was remanded on bail until December 2. His charge of attempting to procure a murder (hiring a hit man) was dropped earlier this month.

The BBC also reported that Rudd put on a bit of a show for the courtroom, winking at the media and tapping out rhythms during the session. As he left, he jumped on his security guard's back and was carried to his sports car.

In a recent interview with Howard Stern, the radio host asked guitarist AC/DC Angus Young if Rudd is still in the band. "We've got to resolve that," he said, noting that it was difficult to get Rudd into the studio to work on the band's upcoming album, Rock or Bust, which is due out December 2. "He was shaky."

She says he was held in a psychiatric ward after after trying to take his own life earlier this year. She alleges his latest drugs lapse is his seventh since their wedding, and included an episode in a hotel room where he "became hostile and physical and proceeded to demolish the room" in the presence of her and their teenage son.

Her paperwork includes a series of threatening text messages he's said to have sent after disappearing from their Florida home in October. She recently applied to have him forced into rehab - subject to a court hearing, he could be ordered to undergo treatment for up to five months.

Stapp earlier this week posted a self-shot video on Creed's Facebook page, claiming he'd been living in his truck, had his bank accounts frozen and needed a lawyer to help him fight "slanderous, libelous accusations."

"Nothing Has Changed" was introduced by the lead single, "Sue (or In A Season Of Crime)", which will be released as a Record Store Day exclusive 10" single on November 28.

The set also features the previously unreleased track, "Let Me Sleep Beside You", from the "Toy" sessions; the download-only "Your Turn To Drive" makes its debut on CD alongside the 2001 re-recording of the 1971 outtake, "Shadow Man."

"She's great to work with, very funny, generous and spontaneous," Ginger told Last Year's Girl last month. "She was also kind enough to let me film the video at her recent sold out Sydney show. Wait until you hear it, she sounds like Celebrity Skin era Courtney. She nails it so good. As a fan you're going to love it."

With overall sales of LPs hitting the million milestone in the UK for this year, the prog heroes are at the centre of a resurgence in the format that will see The Official Chart Company launch a new vinyl chart in the coming weeks.

Although The Endless River has sold a relatively small number of vinyl copies so far - around 6000 - the music industry is seeing the format as a real money maker again.

It came about during a recording session for a B-side for Harrison's single This Is Love, on which the Beatle roped in his friends. Petty only became involved when Harrison turned up at his house to pick up a guitar.

Petty decided to tag along to the studio, and ended up taking part in the session and joining the group. But the song Handle With Care was deemed too good for a B-side and it later appeared on the Wilburys' debut album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1.

Petty tells HazyRock: "That extra track turned into the Traveling Wilburys. It was a wonderful time. I think the one thing I remember is, there was never a negative moment doing that. We really enjoyed that. I think we made that record for us, really. We just enjoyed it.

He admits his choice will "surprise everyone" but insists the moment, part of the event's closing ceremony, was important and made him proud. Page tells Uncut: "I'd be very sincere if I said doing the Olympics with Leona was phenomenal. She's really plucky - she's superb, and she sang Whole Lotta Love brilliantly.

The band recently released an expanded, deluxe edition of their 1977 album, "Love Gun." The 2CD / digital edition includes the complete original album re-mastered on the first disc, while the second features previously unreleased demos of "Plaster Caster", "Then She Kissed Me", "Tomorrow And Tonight" and "Much Too Soon".

The group also just wrapped up their first Las Vegas residency, "KISS Rocks Vegas", at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. KISS performed 9 shows at The Joint between November 5 and 23.

He took over vocal duties for their debut album A Voice Within which launched earlier this year. But the band say they've now reached a "fork in the road" and they've parted ways with the singer amicably.

The group's guitarist Aaron Marshall says: "It's with a heavy heart that we announce that we have decided to part ways with Mike Semesky. Writing and recording A Voice Within was a gratifying and enlightening experience and touring in support of that record with Mike has been nothing short of spectacular.

The former King Crimson and Frank Zappa collaborator explained via the project's Kickstarter page: "Technology has changed our lives so dramatically. Our ability to multitask is greater, but our attention spans are shorter.

"Modern music does not reflect these changes - most music has remained unaltered, still made in the same format used for over 60 years: the three to five minute song. Nothing wrong with that, but how about an alternative?

Wonder Days was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, with guitarist Luke Morley doubling as producer. The record label describe the album as "a potent mix of blues, soul and rock 'n' roll that is as contemporary as it is steeped in the finest music of the last few decades."

The special editions were made possible thanks to a PledgeMusic campaign started by Threeman Recordings which raised 152% of its target. They've now struck a deal with SPV to distribute the albums across the US and Europe.

Each recording will be fully remastered and feature bonus material including previously unreleased tracks. All three will be released on heavyweight 180g double vinyl and double CD. Each will come with a 24-page booklet containing fresh liner notes and rare photographs.

He tells Capital Chaos TV: "The inspiration for the song came from the negative situation that surrounded us while we were writing the album - news that the economy was collapsing, and people were losing their jobs and committing suicide because of that.
"All the negativity pushed us to focus on our dreams. Even if your dreams seem very far away, you need to be focused on them even in very negative times. Even if you have the worst thing happen to you, you still need to find that special energy to go on. That's the message of that song."

He also says people have to strike a better balance between their daily lives and using social media - a theme that runs throughout their seventh album. He continues: "We feel there must be a better balance between how much we are slaves to these things and how much we could live our real lives.

The piece was originally to be part of Reed's Tubular Bells tribute Sanctuary. Reed tells Prog: "The plan was to have two long tracks and a short song at the end. But when I finished the album the short song just didn't fit. I was worried that the album would be a little short without it, but I confided in producer Tom Newman and he told me not to worry - to think of it musically and in no other way."

He says of the video: "We rented a haunted house in Wales and dressed up my children in pagan masks. It really was a disturbing experience. But it looked amazing."

Anderson has confirmed he'll deliver a set of Jethro Tull classics at the two-day event, created in association with Prog and TeamRock. He says: "Oh what fun it is to ride like a Ramblin' Man to the far corners of Darkest Kent, to play once again with the support and organisation of TeamRock, Prog and those other fine publications to delight the discerning music fan. See you there - don't forget to pack the brolly and the gum boots."

TPT mainman Bruce Soord adds: "The band can't wait to get on stage for this wonderful festival and join such a fantastic lineup. Sharing the same stage as Camel is something particularly special. Live music - rock and progressive - is very much alive and well thanks to Ramblin' Man! Looking forward to rocking our brand new set for you all."

Singer Mark Stewart, bass player Dan Catsis, drummer Bruce Smith and guitarist Gareth Sagar reunited in 2010 after their 1981 split, but until now haven't recorded any new music since 1980's For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?

They have recruited producer Paul Epworth to work on the record, which is the subject of a Pledgemusic crowdfunding campaign. Epworth, who's worked with Adele, Coldplay and Florence And The Machine, says: "The energy is still there, the ideas are still there, it still fizzes with a life that most young bands just don't have."

Neck Deep singer Ben Barlow says: "When we started looking into recording album two, we knew we wanted it to be bigger and better than Wishful Thinking.

"We wanted to step things up in a big way. We'll be working with someone we've always looked up to. When we initially spoke to Jeremy about producing the album his enthusiasm was what caught us.

"Not only is he someone who knows what they're doing, and has achieved everything we could hope for, but he's just as stoked on the album as we are, and that's a huge thing."

While an album is in their thoughts, for the moment the English rockers are happy to put out shorter releases and build on their momentum through bigger gigs.

The band say: "After this EP, we have two more finished and ready to release in 2015, so we are hoping to keep up the momentum and build on the great support we've gained from the release of Living A Lie into next year.
