Allman Brothers Final Show To Be Broadcast

A few months ago, Davies hinted at a Kinks reunion when he told England's Sunday Times that the band's members have resolved their many differences. Many may have interpreted that statement to mean that Davies and his brother/bandmate Dave Davies are now getting along.

But now, it seems like it's another conflict that is preventing the reunion from happening. Ray cites the bad blood between Dave and drummer Mick Avory as the reason why the band may not get back together.

"Led Zeppelin wasn't a corporate entity," Page tells Rolling Stone. "Led Zeppelin was an affair of the heart. Each of the members was important to the sum total of what we were. I like to think that if it had been me that wasn't there, the others would have made the same decision. And what were we going to do? Create a role for somebody, say, 'You have to do this, this way?' That wouldn't be honest."

The group reunited for 1985's Live Aid charity concert, joined by drummers Phil Collins and Tony Thompson (Chic), and Atlantic Records' 40th Anniversary concert in 1988 with Bonham's son, Jason, behind the kit.

Neither Page or Robert Plant were pleased with the results of either performance, so they made sure to get it right for the December 10, 2007 concert at London's O2 Arena tribute concert for friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

"There were attempts [at reunion] that didn't work - trying to push it together in a hurry," he continued. "That's why the [2007] show had to be done with such intent - rehearsing as much as we could so Jason felt he was part of the band as opposed to a novelty. He was filling big shoes, and we needed all of that."

"It's coming along very well," Gilmour tells Rolling Stone while promoting Floyd's final album, "The Endless River." "There are some sketches that aren't finished, and some of them will be started again. There's a few months' work in it yet. I'm hoping to get it out this following year. Then I'm hoping to do an old man's tour, not a 200-date sort of thing."

Gilmour says he plans to play smaller venues, as he did on his 2006 trek in support of "On An Island." "There haven't been many discussions about the tour," he says. "But places like Radio City Music Hall sound like the right sort of vibe for me."

The band, whose last album Winter Kills was released in 2013, will go on hiatus until Fafara has completed his current commitments with the reactivated Coal Chamber.

He says: "What a blast Knotfest was - no better way to end the Winter Kills cycle. With the end of this cycle comes some other endings. John Boeklin, Jeff Kendrick and DevilDriver have parted ways. Nothing dramatic, no drag down fights, just time to move on.

The Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist had been invited for an acoustic jam with Scott Ian and Frank Bello, and the trio went for dinner afterwards. Taylor tells Talk Is Jericho: "They were like, 'We don't know what to do.' Someone - I don't remember who - jokingly said, 'Why don't you sing for us?' We all laughed. Then we got real quiet and we were like, 'Well, why don't I?' I was ready to fly to Chicago to start writing with them."

Next week, White kicks off a string of European tour dates, promoting his latest album Lazaretto. To replace Owens, White has asked Queens Of The Stone Age's Dean Fertita to fill in.

The Northern Echo reports Johnson called Sporting Memories 'out of the blue' after hearing about their projects with older people, especially men, who are suffering from depression and dementia by involving them in groups which improve their physical and mental well-being.

Curated by guitarist Kim Thayil, "Echo Of Miles" features original B-sides, unreleased tracks, instrumentals, covers and demos. "As album sets go, this one has been fun to collect and compile over the decades," says Thayil. "I personally may have referenced this project a number of times over the years, going back almost twenty of them to the mid-Nineties!"

Disc 1, dubbed "Originals", is filled with Soundgarden songs - mainly B-sides - in addition to two unreleased tunes, "Kristi" and "Storm."

Disc 2, "Covers", presents covers of tracks by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Ramones, Devo and others.

Disc 3, "Oddities", offers instrumentals, remixes and demos, including Steve Fisk's unreleased "The Telephantasm (Resurrection Remix)", "Twin Tower" written by Matt Cameron, which was originally recorded at Seattle's London Bridge studio in December 1988 during the sessions for "Louder Than Love", and "Night Surf", an instrumental performed by bassist Ben Shepherd.

Billed as "the definitive, authorized illustrated history of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band," the project features a forward by former U.S. President Bill Clinton alongside more than 500 pages of images of the band.

Produced in close collaboration with the group, "The Rolling Stones" gives fans unprecedented access to the band's own archives in New York and London as they compiled an official photographic record of their career.

The singer will play the single, "Lady", from her latest solo album, "24 Karat Gold - Songs From the Vault." The project features a collection of lost and stray songs that Nicks has written and recorded through the years, but never made it onto an album.

As part of The Who's 50th anniversary celebrations, An Evening Of Who Music is being held at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on November 11 in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The house band for the evening features Simon Townshend, Zak Starkey, Pino Palladino, Billy Nicholls, Frank Simes, Loren Gold and John Coury. They will be joined onstage by some of the biggest names in rock and pop including Vedder, Lee, Wilko Johnson, James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers and Brody Dalle.

Not wanting to live off Nirvana's legacy, he came up with the moniker to avoid using his own name. But if he could go back in time, he'd change it. Grohl tells CBS 60 Minutes:

"I called it Foo Fighters because I didn't want to put my name on it at first. Had I imagined that it would last more than a month and a half I might have named it something else. It's the dumbest band name ever. Foo Fighters is a slang term that they used for UFOs in World War II."

The frontman discusses the process followed while making the upcoming eighth Foos album Sonic Highways, which is accompanied by a documentary series which is begin screened by the BBC.

The band have recorded most of the shows on their current tour and they'll put the best individual tracks together for the album, to be released via Century Media Records. They're aiming to produce a studio quality record.

Bassist Amos Williams says: "We've gone full circle with the return of Dan. There's an enthusiasm and energy among the band that we wished to capture for CD and DVD. It's very challenging both artistically and technically - but if any band can pull it off at this level, TesseracT can."

Responding to the tour announcement, Anthrax said last night: "I think we know one of the dudes in the headliner�" Guitarist Caggiano quit the thrash giants in January 2013 after 12 years with the band.

They say on their GoFundMe page: "Leah has a serious medical condition requiring brain surgery and months of recovery. Many of you have asked what you can do to help support her and help her get through this. We think we should all put a dollar in a motorcycle helmet and pass it around.

"Motorcycle club members always help out fellow members and especially the president of the club. All donations will go towards Leah's surgery and recovery."

The project began four years ago, he says. "We started by meeting in the studio and playing through demos that had been written by the band members. But the future of the band was always going to be decided by whether Barbara would be able to tour again.

"Her Parkinson's progresses and the medication becomes less effective, so she stops playing. Then a new medication arrives and she picks up where she left off. It's happened three times now, and recording was stopped in 2012 because it looked as if she'd never play again.

The thrash giants have endured turmoil in recent years, splitting with original drummer Dave Lombardo for the third and seemingly final time, then dealing with the death of co-founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman.

Speaking from the studio where they're at work on their 11th album, King says: "There's no formula, man. When you think about it, how many people get to do this for 10 years? There are so many who don't. We're lucky enough to be one of the 30-year groups - there's not many of those at all.

The frontman says: "I had severe writers' block for the duration of this album. To get out of a hole, I went and put myself in one - I went to Spurn Point on a really bleak evening. The sea and landscape tell you how to feel. Then my imagination did the work. Not a happy song."

He tells Full Metal Jackie: "The start of the writing process was a little bit scary. It was hard to mash everything into one concept. I just thought we will take the listener by surprise, but what would challenge them as a comeback record?

"No one else has done a concept record as a comeback album and I thought this might be really intriguing for the fans and showing them that this is a real album."

The British three-piece are currently on an extensive US tour in support of last year's seventh album Loud Like Live and have now confirmed the UK and Ireland jaunt, which starts in Dublin on February 25.

Frontman Brian Molko has also confirmed he is releasing a retrospective book containing his own selection of lyrics from throughout the band's near 20-year career. Brian Molko - Selected is available to order from Molko's website from October 31.

The song originally featured on Cale's album Music For A New Society. Cale's new version is accompanied by a video directed by Abigail Portner, which features background images of Cale and Reed working together.

He tells Billboard: "It's absolutely awful. We had no input as to what it would be about or who would be in it. They had people give us clothes to wear - we were just dumbfounded. Fortunately, the song had some roots so we were saved."

The song cracked the top 40 in the US - something he says he had always dreamed about. He continues: "I used to dream about the day when Casey Kasem would talk about us on American Top 40 - and there it was, on Sunday morning, hearing that voice saying, 'No.39, a brand new band from New Jersey.' I was just so happy.

"The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones). Released in May 2013, the Seattle band's fifth album sold 62,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart.

He appears on a talkshow to discuss comments made in his new self help book Me, Inc.: Build an Army of One, Unleash Your Inner Rock God, Win in Life and Business.

The bass player tells Fox News: "Let's all agree that women should not depend on men, because statistics tell us they will run out on you for all kinds of reasons.

"The other problem is the economics of relationships. It costs so much money to be in a relationship where the men, predominantly, go out and earn a living.

Also featured is a glimpse into Paul Stanley's creative process with the inclusion of "Love Gun (Teaching Demo)", with Stanley talking through the various chords of the song after writing the song with the next version "Love Gun (Demo)" delivering the complete demo performance.

"Reputation", the only previously released demo, was originally included on this year's "KISS 40" compilation. Also featured is a 1977 interview with Gene Simmons, as well as three never-before-available live tracks from the KISS show at the Capitol Centre, Landover in Maryland U.S.A. from December 20, 1977 - "Love Gun", "Christine Sixteen" and "Shock Me."

The rocker played "Can't Break Me Down", the lead single from his new album, "Kings & Queens Of The Underground", as well as delivering a web-exclusive version of his 1983 classic, "Rebel Yell."

Idol recently published his self-written memoir, "Dancing With Myself."The autobiography delivers a brutally honest account of his journey to fame - from his early days as frontman of the pioneering UK punk band Generation X to his international solo career.

Grohl insists music trends move in cycles, but rock will never be anything other than a lifestyle for its many followers. He tells KROQ: "For me it's my air, it's my food, it's my lifestyle. It's just what I do. My band is my family and the music we make is our voice. It's never going to disappear.

"When I step out at a Foo Fighters gig, either in an arena, club or stadium full of people singing Everlong or My Hero or Pretender - rock and roll is alive and well in my house."

The Kiss bassist claimed last month that illegal downloading and a lack of industry support had killed rock music. The Foos were one of the first to respond, saying via Twitter: "Not so fast, Mr. God of Thunder�"

Mike Portnoy, Neal Morse, Roine Stolt and Pete Trewavas recorded several shows on their recent tour dates in support of fourth album Kaleidoscope, launched earlier this year. The video was shot in Cologne, Germany, while the audio CDs were recording in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

Neal Morse recently said: "The tour was indeed a landmark for Transatlantic. We grew as a band and as people This live DVD captures Transatlantic in an amazing way - I'm sure you're going to love it."

"We wanted to give something back to them," Ann Wilson tells Rolling Stone. "Just to say thank you. It's the perfect HOOT song and worked well with the esoteric instruments we had around. It's a classic ripper with good melodies, great lyrics and perfect for hair-flipping."

Heart recorded the song backstage in their dressing room on tour in Texas last weekend. "I chose 'No Way Back' because it's one of the Foos' most kick-ass songs!", says guitarist Nancy Wilson.

The Wilson sisters recently joined the Foos during their week-long residency on Letterman to perform their 1977 classic, "Kick It Out". "They were like, 'Hey, can you come over and do this thing'?" Ann recalls. "We said, 'Of course,' because they're our buds. It was a really fun experience. The Foo Fighters are hilarious guys. The way 'Kick It Out' sounded that night was the difference between two guitars and four guitars on stage. It [had] a very kinetic, powerful kick to it and I liked it."

And he's glad that the band's only UK appearance, at London's Roundhouse, is included in the package, which goes on sale via Eagle Rock on November 10.

Feast Of Friends was left incomplete after finance was withdrawn as a result of frontman Jim Morrison's arrest for allegedly exposing himself in Miami - for which he was pardoned in 2010.

The group got its start after the tragic end of Mother Love Bone, who lost their talented singer Andrew Wood to a drug overdose in 1990, and went on to become one of the most celebrated rock bands of the '90s.

With their carefully plotted guitar sonics and Eddie Vedder's warm timbre, it's easy to see why the mainstream embraced Pearl Jam. As Pearl Jam make their way across the U.S., we look back at the band and observe The World According to�Pearl Jam.

Mike McCready on Eddie Vedder's early habit of climbing the stage scaffolding or the wings of the theaters, falling into the crowd, as told to Rolling Stone in 1993:

"I think the first time I got really worried, we were in Texas. Eddie climbed up on this girder, about 50 feet in the air. Nobody knew where he was. And all of a sudden you look up - some guy had a flashlight on him - and it was like � He's up there clinging to a girder. I'm thinking, 'This guy is insane, but I'm so totally pumped.'"

Stone Gossard on Pearl Jam getting "too big," as told to Rolling Stone in 1993:

"If somebody wants to say, 'You guys used to be my favorite band, but you got too big' - to me, the problem with getting too big is not, innately, you get too big and all of a sudden you stop playing good music. The problem is, when you get too big, you stop doing the things you used to do. Just being big doesn't mean you can't go in your basement and write a good song. I think people are capable of being a lot bigger on that rad big scale. A lot more people are capable of being big out there that just don't give themselves a chance."

Eddie Vedder on Kurt Cobain's death, as told to the crowd at a Pearl Jam concert in Fairfax, Va., on the night Cobain's body was discovered:

"Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you (and) it's real easy to fall..."

Ah, what could have been. Paul McCartney was the only member of the Beatles who, after the split-up, was able to do a solo album, completely on his own, without any supporting musicians. His solo debut, 1970's McCartney, featured Paul on all the instruments: guitars, bass, keyboards and drums. But in this interview, George Harrison recalls that Paul started out playing the trumpet, possibly because his father had played in a jazz band.

But Paul, it seems, always had his eye on stardom. And while Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie were stars in their own right, that would not be Paul's path. He was also a huge fan of Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Buddy Holly, and wouldn't be satisfied with playing his instrument or singing, he wanted to do both at the same time. And so, he picked up the guitar, and later the bass, the piano and the drums.

These days at his concerts, Paul switches between bass, electric and acoustic guitar and electric and grand piano (his drumming is usually limited to studio sessions when he plays at all). But imagine what the Beatles would have sounded like with McCartney playing trumpet instead of bass.
