The Who Announce Farewell Tour

The record, which comes 20 years after 14th title The Division Bell, is released on November 10. Gilmour tells the BBC: "This is the last thing that'll be out from us - I'm pretty certain there will not be any follow-up to this. And Polly, my wife, thought that would be a very good lyrical idea to go out on - a way of describing the symbiosis that we have. Or had."

"We started working with Scott for that period and we made some cool music, but it was just a really, really hard thing to keep together, that exact lineup," Slash tells Radio.com. "When you're cutting off your nose to spite your face, there's a point there where it's, like, 'You've gotta either get it together or we're not gonna suffer through this.'"

"A lot of people are asking questions, and it's been very active under the radar," adds Slash. "I mean, nothing has happened with it as far as getting a new singer, so there's nothing to talk about. But there is activity going on, and there's people that we've been checking out. At some point the right guy's gonna walk in the door, and at that point, then we'll look into making another Velvet record."

It follows attempts by AC/DC representatives to prevent the film being made. But High Voltage Productions will shortly start work on a cinematic trailer for their project, tentatively titled Bon Scott: The Legend Of AC/DC Unauthorised.

Liotti tells Bravewords: "The Hendrix and Priest films clear the way for this project - although I felt confident all along. We have a First Amendment right to tell this story, and we have the ability to utilise the Fair Use Doctrine in assisting us to do so."

Jambase reports that he made the comment on stage during the first of two solo shows in Philadelphia this week. He showed the audience a guitar and said:

"This was given to me by my good friend Stephen Stills. CSNY will never tour again, ever - but I love those guys." CSNY released their long-awaited 1974 live box set in July.

He tells Music Radar: "I think the girls at this point have taken over the shows. You go look at Shakira, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga - they're doing Alice Cooper. That's what we were doing in the late 60s and early 70s through to now."

He continues: "When Marilyn Manson came out I said, 'OK, let me see, a guy with make-up on with a girl's name who does theatrics - I wish I'd thought of that. Marilyn and I are good friends now - we've toured together. If you look at his show, it's nothing like my show - he has his own style of grotesque.

Fallon tells Pop Culture Madness: "In the 90s we had the backing of every major label on planet Earth. We got signed and dropped and signed and dropped. Nothing ever really happened for Clutch, we had very small shows - even if we got played on the radio.
"It was only when people started pirating music that our shows got bigger. I mean I can't say that for a fact, but I hazard a guess that if someone liked the band they heard for free, even though it was illegal, then they came to our show and bought a t-shirt and has become a lifelong fan. I'm all right with that."

One of the biggest differences between his new mask and previous efforts is that it's in two distinct pieces, which can be peeled apart. Taylor discusses his mask on the Corey Taylor Talks show - hosted by a Las Vegas actor who is no relation to the Slipknot man.

He says: "With every album, my mask has evolved, so this one, specifically, is supposed to represent the person behind the mask, but then the person behind that person, which is one of the reasons why it's two pieces, and you can peel the one off, and it's still a representation. So it's almost like having two different faces, but it's the same person."

Hammerfall say in a statement: "Anders has decided to leave the band after 15 years. Brought on by increasing musical differences as well as a career in the music industry that spans almost four decades, he has come to the conclusion that enough is enough.

"We have found a most excellent drummer in David - he'll fill the void left by the 'Swedish Tank' with his youthful intensity and fantastic musicianship.

The follow-up to 2012's The Connection is set to feature 10 tracks and it will be headed up with the launch of lead single, entitled Face Everything And Rise.

Frontman Jacoby Shaddix has described the album as carrying a message of hope throughout. He adds: "It's a very dynamic record. It spans across the board, from heavy and reflective, to in your face and out of control. It's everything we believe is great about Papa Roach. We'll leave it up to the fans to be the judge of it - I love it."

The 20-song concert at the city's Chesapeake Energy Arena was identical to the setlist the band played during the summer portion of the trek, opening with the title track to their 2008 album, "Saints Of Los Angeles", and closing with 1985's "Theatre Of Pain" single, "Home Sweet Home."

Alice Cooper is once again on board as special guest for the second leg, which will wrap in Spokane, Washington on November 22. Motley Crue currently have a 5-date Japanese tour planned for February, with shows set for Kobe, Nagoya, Tokyo and Fukuoka.

NBC News 7 San Diego reports Mustaine spoke about the disappearance and search for the 75-year-old, who was last seen around 4 p.m. on October 4 at the Pinezanita RV Park and Campgrounds on Highway 79 in Julian, about 60 miles east of downtown San Diego.

Estabrook's husband noticed she was gone when he returned from a shower and couldn't find her. "Sally Estabrook went missing Saturday at 4 p.m. up at the Pinezanita Campground up in Julian," said Mustaine. "She has Alzheimer's, severe, [and] she's not communicative. And we're just asking everybody right now, because of the search and how extensively that it's gone, we're looking outside of the camp area now. And we're just asking everybody that may have been up there to take a look in your sheds, in your garages, any of the thick brush around your house. A lot of times, people that wander that have Alzheimer's are found very close to their home. They just take shelter underneath bushes and stuff. So we're asking that you look there."

"Also, anybody that's working in the medical field, in the hospitals and shelters, any of the senior citizens, adult homes, stuff like that, look at your patients," added Mustaine. "Maybe there's somebody there that's not supposed to be there. We need your help. For any of you that are watching this right now, we're just asking that if you see Sally - we call her nana - she's probably not gonna answer to you, just call 911 and then we'll go from there."

Mustaine said the search for Estabrook has intensified over the past few days, with search and rescue crews now looking in areas outside the Julian campground for any traces of the missing woman.

He tells Sweden's GTV: "We haven't got a release date yet. I've got the lyrics for another six tracks done but I'm going to go in and semi-record them to show them to my boys. We're waiting for the budget from the record company, but we'll have it out by the end of the year."

He also says young bands trying to make it in the UK face an uphill battle, as there are fewer places for them to play. He continues: "It's pretty much dead over there because there's no vehicle for bands. Half the clubs have been closed down. It's all right if you're a big band but small bands haven't really got much chance."

And in the clip, the frontman insists he's not making a political statement, he just likes "interesting figures." Blythe recently praised Indonesia's new metal-loving president Joko Widodo saying: "This is the only president in the world with whom you can sit down and argue about which Slayer album is the best."

As The Palaces Burn began as a study on musical influences on different cultures, but those plans were scrapped when Blythe was arrested and charged with murder in 2012 after the death of 19-year-old fan Daniel Nosek in the Czech Republic.

In a chat with Rolling Stone, Selway admits to having known that Yorke would drop his surprise album ahead of his own, noting, "they're very different records. Got very different release methods as well. So they occupy two very different spaces. I kind of like the way they rub up against each other. They both stand up in their own right, but I think for anybody looking in from a Radiohead perspective, you can see the elements of everything there. It's an opportune coincidence."

Near the end of the interview, the Radiohead questions emerge, as one might expect. Thankfully, Selway is candid about the experience thus far. "It's great to be making music together again," he said. "It's got a vitality to it. We just have to see where it leads us at the moment. But it's been good so far. When it works, it still feels exciting.

It features lead vocals by Arjen Lucassen, Bekah Mhairi Comrie, Phil Allen and Stewart himself. He explains: "It's based on my experiences as a lifelong lucid dreamer. It follows the adventures of a young boy as he masters the ability to control his dreams and chronicles the key events in his life - the weird synchronicities and profound questions that arise when one grows up lIving in the twin worlds of dream and reality."

The 74-minute album will be available via F2 Music and can be pre-ordered now. The CD version includes a preview of Bell's storybook The Cupboard Of Fear, on sale separately.

"At this exciting new time in my career, there was need for a big change," says Tyler. "After meeting and getting to know Larry and Rebecca and seeing that we all share the same vision, I knew it was the perfect time for me to work with people who truly have my best interest and well-being in mind. I look forward to making incredible history together and having FUN while we take over the world, work and travel on the most adventurous journey you could ever imagine."

The singer has also added Amanda K. Ruisi of AKR Public Relations to his team. Fresh off Aerosmith's Let Rock Rule tour, Tyler will now focus on writing and recording his debut solo album, a project that's been in the works for some time.

"Everything the Scorpions touch turns to gold, just like their MTV Unplugged album now," said Manfred Rolef, Vice President AOR Label Group GSA. "We are happy to have reached gold status and are now heading towards platinum! We would also like to thank MTV Europe and the media group RTL Music for Millions for the great collaboration."

"The collaboration of all parties involved in this exceptional MTV Unplugged project was very intense," added Mara Ridder-Reichert, Director Talent & Music Northern Europe MTV, VIVA, VH-1, TMF. "MTV and the Scorpions both are worldwide brands, which managed to make the MTV Unplugged of a German band successful all over the world. We can build on this success now."

Having previously played London's Black Heart for a one-off, intimate gig, Red Fang are stoked to be heading back to the capital this spring. They had this to say:

Frontman Wayne Coyne has posted a video on the group's Pledge Music page outlining a list of exclusive memorabilia up for grabs, including signed CDs and vinyl, silkscreen posters, t-shirts and a 'making of' documentary.

Coyne says the doc features the "making of this record, some of us being in the studio, and some of us contemplating and considering and thinking and imagining the impact that the Beatles and their music and sometimes the ideas of covering someone else's music and discovering new things about their music and about yourself and about your art."

"The idea of 'Stairway,'" says Page, "was to have a piece of music, a composition, whereby it would just keep unfolding into more layers and more moods.

"The whole subtlety and intensity of the overlay would actually accelerate as it went through every level - every emotional level, every musical level. And so it keeps opening up, as it continues through these patterns."

The classic song will be rereleased later this month as part of the upcoming expanded reissue of their 1971 release, "Led Zeppelin IV", due on October 28.

The group are releasing both "Led Zeppelin IV" and "Houses Of The Holy" on the same day. Led Zeppelin kicked off their reissue series in June with the release of expanded editions of the band's first three albums - "Led Zeppelin I", "Led Zeppelin II" and "Led Zeppelin III" - each with a companion disc of bonus material.

Due October 14 - the day after his 67th birthday - the project sees Hagar joined by Waboritas guitarist Vic Johnson to present stripped-down versions of tunes from his lengthy career.

"It was just me and Vic live in the studio with no overdubs," says Sammy about the album. "Just two guitars, sometimes one guitar, sometimes just one voice, sometimes two voices."

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has just released his own cover of "Imagine." The singer performed the song during a solo show at the Super Bock Super Rock festival in Portugal on July 18.

The song features altered lyrics, in which the socks sing of their concern over washing machine spin cycles and running colors. Performed by Stayner, the song has also been renamed Raining Bleach.

The Chile concert date was one of the final shows of the band's three-plus-year campaign to record and support "Worship Music" and the "Anthems" EP. "We wanted to finish on a high note," explains drummer Charlie Benante, "we didn't want to look back and regret that we didn't record the live show."

The New Orleans native joined COC when they were a fixture in the New York hardcore scene and he says the "slippery, greasy" guitar sound of his hometown made the band more punk rock than they had ever been.

Keenan features in episode five of NOLA: Life, Death & Heavy Blues From The Bayou - a series investigating the city's heavy metal scene. He was snapped up by COC in 1989 after making his name with New Orleans group Graveyard Rodeo.

He says: "COC were looking for a singer and that was a huge turn in my life. I had the opportunity and I ran with it. The New Orleans guitar playing style I had learned from Graveyard Rodeo came in handy when I jumped into that.

"When we wrote a song called Albatross, COC was so ingrained in the New York hardcore scene, playing a Sunday matinee at CBGB's and sh*t. We wrote Albatross and we though these motherf***ers were going to kill us.

"I felt more punk rock writing that sh*t from the world we were in, I felt like we were really putting our dick on the chopping block. That was the turning point for me. When I could get to the point that you were pissing off your own scene, it made you feel alive."

Great Plains II: "We discarded several tracks that were written early in the sessions. They had some interesting internal architecture but didn't quite hang together. In keeping with the modular or atomic approach taken towards the album as a whole, we cannibalised the discards for spare parts. This track is built from some of them. That's why it seems to start in medias res, and end in similarly ambiguous fashion."

Elsewhere: "One long rejected track yielded some of Great Plains II and some of Elsewhere, which is why the keys conveniently match up. This was a tricky one to sing and a tricky one to mix. There were a good 20 or 30 draft mixes before it started to cohere. Some of the 'ambient' percussion is an old mantel clock with the weight removed so that it ticked faster and more erratically."

August: "Some spurious time signatures smuggled into what is otherwise a fairly guileless dream-pop song. Too Many Organs was engineer Pete Meighan's working title for it."

The guitar features a hand-carved mahogany top, a solid mahogany body, a rosewood fingerboard and mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays. The package is completed by a Gravedigger headstock, custom ASG Arsenal pickups and chrome ASG headstock emblem.

The trio are made up of John Hogg (ex-Moke, Hookah Brown and HOGG), Sean Genockey (Tom McRae and Futureheads producer) and Jesse Wood (Reef). Define was recorded at Rancho De La Luna, Joshua Tree, with Jesse Hughes from Eagles of Death Metal. The band are also joined on the album by Joey Castillo from Queens Of The Stone Age, Masters Of Reality's Chris Goss, and Abby Travis and Hayden Scott of Spinnerette.

The video for Put It Out was was filmed at the famous Rockfield Studios in Wales, and features cameo performances from legendary Damned drummer Rat Scabies and Rockfield owner Kingsley Ward.

"Filming at Rockfield was fitting, considering our close ties and huge respect for the place", says frontman John Hogg. "They're all such lovely people there, too, that it made the whole process of making a music video feel more like a family affair. We were even treated to meals in Kingsley's stately dining room, which was surreal and moody, in a great way! And to have Rat come hang out and beat on his old Haymans, and for Kingsley to be revealed at the end of the video as the person searching... these are experiences none of us will soon forget. Rat has done it all and Kingsley has seen it all: all the bands, all the rotters, all the stories we can and can't talk about - a true legend with a tractor - and a Rolls to boot."

Chain Reaction, the follow-up to 2012 debut Utopia, was launched earlier this year after a successful crowdfunding campaign. Ahead of its release the Prog Award nominated band said: "This album is going to be heavier, with songwriting that is a lot more focused, mature and coherent.

The band say of the album: "It's significant to us on many different levels. It's an album that has been over three years in the making. Hang The Bastard has undergone many a mutation which has ultimately come to produce a new creative partnership and a solid musical identity."

The first version of "Where The Devil Don't Tread" was written for a songwriting group that I had belonged to. Consequently I was later kicked out of said group�twice� for lateness (what musician isn't perpetually late?). The theme that week was "two faces" and I instantly thought of someone I used to know. A divorce will do that to you I guess...

Essentially I had a vision of myself: alone, starring at nothing and surrounded by ruins. The song paints a picture of shattered glass everywhere, pictures thrown about and empty bottles- which is sort of how I felt my life looked at the time. Me just in the middle of all this wreckage I guess. I had a pretty dark period where I wanted to disappear from the world and have no one even think about me. I was determined to live in this wreckage, surrounded by fragments of someone I used to be. If anyone reading this is going through a divorce I swear to you it gets better, but at the time it was all pretty bleak and the song reflects that.

The title came from that old saying "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy". I had a thought of the Devil himself feeling so bad for me that even he wouldn't have gotten involved with my life at that point. So in the end it's just me by myself, my only friend the Devil.

After tinkering with the words for a few days and playing around with different blues licks I had the final version. I demoed it along with a bunch of other tunes for the new EP and sent them to my producer, who right off the bat latched on to this one. I think we both knew that we could really do some interesting things with it and we were excited about the possibilities. Going for that "drrrty south" vibe we added plenty of slide guitar, banjo, and leads on it and played the main part on an old beat-up National resonator knock-off.

At the end of the day it became one of my favorites, as well as a crowd pleaser at recent shows. "With pain, comes great art", right?
