Sammy Hagar Open To Van Halen Reunion Including David Lee Roth

The track features original drummer John Rutsey and the band in concert at Laura Secord Secondary School in St. Catharines, Ontario. "R40" will present the group's full 8-song set from the show as part of a disc of bonus material recorded throughout their career.

Available as 6-disc and 10-disc packages, "R40" includes "Rush In Rio", "R30", "Snakes & Arrows Live", "Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland" and "Clockwork Angels Tour", plus a bonus disc of previously unseen and unreleased live material stretching from 1974 to 2013.

Now Slipknot mainman Taylor had given his take on the issue. And while he knows where Simmons is coming from, he insists rock is going nowhere. "Are you kidding me? Screw that, man. Rock ain't dead," Taylor tells Rock 105.5.

Singer M Shadows - who is taking the rest of 2014 off to work on the release - tells Pulse of Radio: "The DVD will take place right before we lose Jimmy, and then it's gonna basically take you all the way through to now.

Currently being broadcast on BBC Four, the series sees the band visit eight US cities to explore local music history and write and record a song inspired by the stories they hear.

The album is due out in November, and Grohl says he already knows what he wants to do for album number nine. He tells Studio Brussel: "Wait until you see what we're doing for the next record. That's some f***ed up sh*t. I already know what we're doing for that, and it makes this look like f***ing kindergarten."

Grohl also promised the upcoming series of tours for Sonic Highways will make fans happy. He says: "As a live band, the audience is like the sixth member of the band. It's important for us that there's a connection with the audience. When you come see the Foo Fighters, we don't disappoint, I don't think."

The band hadn't advertised they'd be playing a third set, which kicked off after midnight when fans were simply expecting one final encore. Instead they were treated to five more songs, including two reprises of Mountain Jam.

The new shows are included in the tour's second leg, which launches in Toledo, Ohio on January 20. The J. Geils Band will join Seger as a special guest in select markets.

Ticket pre-sales for most of the new dates begin November 5 with general public on-sale starting November 7 - check your local ticket source for full details.

The band are currently in the studio working on their latest album with producer Terry Date - and King reveals he's been so busy with the group, he hasn't had as much time as he'd like to spend time with his growing collection.

He says: "Up until this year, I did all of it. But this year, I just told my dude what I wanted to be bred and I did touring and recording. It's always a joy for me to come and do this because I'm so busy with Slayer these days I don't get to come as often."

He recently released a promo for Fade Into You - a track originally recorded by Californian outfit Mazzy Star in 1994. And he reveals he loves alternative music from that era.

He tells Rock 105.5: "That's one of my favourite songs on the planet. I'm a big sucker for that 90s sort of alternative, gothy sound like Cocteau Twins and The Sundays. I grew up dating a punk-rock chick and she made me a mix tape with all of those groups on it. I thought it would be fun just to mix it up and do something different.

Belladonna tells Wikimetal: "There's definitely progress. The music's coming along quite good right now. I haven't done anything on the vocal end of it. I've been working on some stuff at home on my own."

He'll play So in its entirety on the upcoming dates and each night will be recorded directly from the soundboard and made available to order individually, as a complete 18-show set in a Collector's Edition Box Set or Deluxe Limited Edition Numbered Road Case.

Orders made before the first show kicks off on November 12 in Brussels will receive a free double CD taken from one of Gabriel's spring 2014 shows. Collector's Edition and Deluxe Edition sets ordered before the start of the tour will also get a 10% discount on their purchase.

Meanwhile, frontwoman Lzzy Hale has revealed she's been honored with a new signature Gibson guitar - the Limited Edition Lzzy Hale Explorer. She says:

Frontman Alexander 'Alle' Hagman says: "This time, everything has connected, like pieces in a perfect puzzle. You know when you have a classic album recorded.

The band are currently working on their as-yet-untiled sixth album - the follow up to 2011's Phoenix Amongst The Ashes - and Westmoreland has already laid down the drums for the record, which the band hope to release in early 2015.

And frontman Joe James says following their live commitments they'll take a few months off before starting work on a new album. He tells Mentioned Reviews:

"We're itching to get writing again. We've been writing somewhat on the road but it's hard to get into the right headspace when life is so chaotic. We're looking forward to getting back to our little hometown and getting our heads down for a few months."

The band described their split with Johnson as acrimonious, saying: "It only took seven years, but Fit For An Autopsy has inevitably been 'Nate Johnsoned.' If you know anything about his past you know that we were left with without a singer, at the worst possible time. "So with out anymore bullsh*t or banter, we are happy to welcome Greg Wilburn."

Suicide Silence released their latest album You Can't Stop Me in July. It is their first since the death of frontman Mitch Lucker, who was replaced by Eddie Hermida.

He tells The Telegraph: "Nowadays the Kinks wouldn't even get on TV. I shouldn't by any stretch of the imagination be the lead singer. I've seen myself on television and I'm not as pretty as I should be."

He was never particular sure of the way he looked, but says the 1960s allowed him to press ahead without bowing to pressure to look a certain way. He adds: "I had a bit of a hang-up because everybody wanted to change the way I looked. I'm just the way I am."

And the guitarist and main songwriter says penning snappy songs isn't usually in his nature. He tells Guitar Interactive: "The basic mentality is that every song doesn't have to be 12 minutes long. It's actually hard to do.

"The challenge is to try to write and keep the style that we write in without straying from the thing that makes us unique. And to try to do that within a four, five or six-minute mark, it's hard to do.

Their last album was 2013's Asymmetry, which Prog called their "most inclusive album yet." It reached no.1 in their homeland of Australia, but frontman Ian Kenny previously said he didn't feel any pressure due to the record's success.

He told the Metal Hammer Radio Show: "As long as we're moving forward, then that's the only thing that matters. That we're experimenting and new people are coming onboard is awesome.

The project features material recorded by Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason during sessions for 1994's "The Division Bell", and serves as the band's tribute to Wright, who died from cancer in 2008 at the age of 65.

"As we went through this process, our minds focused on the fact that Rick isn't coming back," Gilmour tells Rolling Stone. "We'll never get another chance to play with him. This is his last recorded moment with Pink Floyd. It's so sad."

The guitarist confirms "The Endless River" is Pink Floyd's final album. "I don't see how it could be otherwise," explains Gilmour. "We've been through all of that stuff now. Anything of value is on there. Trying to do it again would mean using second best stuff. That's not good enough for me. So I think I can confidently say that is not going to happen. Obviously, going with that, there will be no more Pink Floyd shows. Without Rick, that's obviously impossible."

The episode will include guest appearances by Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, and Zac Brown, among others . The Foos are unveiling new tunes each week in sync with their 8-part HBO series of the same name, which premiered October 17.

"Sonic Highways" was recorded in eight American cities - Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Seattle and Washington, D.C.

Frontman Robb Flynn recently told Metal Hammer that the album artwork "is meant to be like an alchemy book from the 1800s." He added: "So much of that symbolism, in alchemy, Masonic stuff and in the Tarot, there's a duality to it.

Page tells Rolling Stone: "It was on Sunset Boulevard, not far from the hotel. Richard was with me so I've got a witness. The key phrase was, 'Your'e going to make a decision in a very short period of time that's going to change your life.'

"Within 48 hours the other Yardbirds said they didn't want to continue. I was disappointed - what we had going I was willing to do with them, whatever it was. I can understand how disillusioned they were, but I could see the trajectory. FM radio was happening. I knew what that meant to underground bands. I wanted an underground band, but one that would come through and make a difference."

Modern Vintage is the sequel to 2011's This Is Gonna Hurt, and was released earlier this month via Eleven Seven Music. "Like our favorite bands from the 1970s, Sixx:A.M. is rooted in songwriting, musicianship and lyrics - three core elements that helped to define that era", says Nikki Sixx.

"Sixx:A.M. has taken even more pages from this book on Modern Vintage, having hopefully created a record that demands to be discovered again and again."

Due December 5 in Europe (Dec 9 in North America) and available on two-CD/DVD, Blu-ray and digital formats, the package includes tracks from 1971's "The Yes Album" and 1977's "Going For The One."

"These are two bodies of music that many of the most devout Yes fans wanted to hear in their entirety," says keyboardist Geoff Downes. "I believe our performance at the Bristol Hippodrome was among the most compelling of the entire tour."

Yes have been touring in support of "Heaven & Earth", their first record with Davison, who joined the lineup in 2012. The band return to the road for shows starting November 10 in New Zealand, before playing dates in Australia and Japan.

The follow-up to 2012's Requiem For The Indifferent was released back in May via Nuclear Blast and the first to feature new bassist Rob van der Loo, who replaced Yves Huts.

The guitarist tells Rolling Stone: "I had issues in school because I was on a different planet from everybody else. If I liked the teacher and found things to be interesting I could really excel. If I thought the teacher or the subject was full of sh*t then I wouldn't make an effort.

"I definitely walked to the beat of my own drum throughout school. I went to a lot of different schools so I never really adapted - I never really fit in. My mum tried to keep me in school, but when the guitar appeared, it made her job that much more difficult because I stopped caring about fitting in with anything and just became that much more insular."

He has now made Fractal Zoom - the lead track from Nerve Net - and the previously unreleased Prague available to stream. Prague is one of the bonus tracks on the reissue of The Shutov Assembly.

Each of the four albums will be reissued as a 2CD set containing the original album as well as an additional disc of unreleased and rare Eno work specific to each record.

Three of the albums are also being made available in gatefold double vinyl containing the original audio only, but accompanied by a download card and printed inner sleeves with the content from the CD booklets.

"Pale Horse" came to me as I was walking through the streets of LA. A lot of music comes to me when I walk, as my mind makes up rhythms and melodies to my footsteps. It started with the main synth in combination with what turned out to be the vocal melody for verse one in my mind. I hummed it into my iPhone voice recorder and worked on it when I got home. I had just bought an MS 20 mini synth a couple of days before, the MS 20 has a very signature and vintage sound and feel to it and I started making bass sounds. The bass and kick drum in "Pale Horse" start with a techno pattern in the beginning but then the song dives into more of a new wave feel. The chorus in particular was very inspired by New Order. I love the sound of the mellotron in "Blue Monday" and I knew I needed to have it in this song. I fleshed out the foundation and recorded a quick version of it on my laptop then imported it into my phone. A couple of days later I was walking on the beach and had the song on repeat. I wasn't consciously thinking of finding a melody but after a while the melody for the rest of the song came to me, which included the synth part in the long breakdown. When I listen to my tracks I usually find myself in a bit of a trance. I was singing as I walked down the pathway of a crowded beach, nothing existed except the sounds I was hearing in my head.

I came up with the title "Pale Horse" before I wrote the lyrics. Although I don't believe in tarot, I somehow came across the concept of a pale horse and how it is often misunderstood. It usually means a new beginning, a transition or a change. I liked the imagery and incorporated a lot of horse galloping rhythms into the song. If you listen, there are subtle references to horses within the music itself. For example, in the beginning there is a puff sound I made on my Tempest drum machine that sounds like a horse breathing out, and at the end of chorus one there is a sound I made on a synth that doubles the snare roll and sounds a bit like a horse vocalizing as it runs. The rhythm of the long break section is meant to imitate a horse galloping. I didn't want to go overboard with these references but I did want to suggest them throughout the song, things a lot of people wouldn't hear unless I point them out.

The lyrics are very personal but I tend to write about things people can identify with. I don't like talking about what my lyrics are about as I would rather the listener interpret as they wish.

I recorded the vocals over at Sean Beavan's Blue Room studio. Working with Sean is a lot of fun, there is something to the way he has everything set up that makes recording a breeze. I don't know what it is about his mic but but it picks up my voice incredibly well. He told me the mic is a very rare Nuemann mic called Mohave, one of only two prototypes in the world. A version of the mic Georg Neumann experimented on and never mass produced.

"Pale Horse" is inspired by a lot of synth music from the 80s but I didn't want it to sound like music from that era. I find that a lot of my music is internalized, which is why I don't think I fit any particular mold. My inspiration from those songs in the 80s comes more from the spirit of experimentation from those bands. They were creating unique sounds, as opposed to a lot of stuff released today that seems to follow certain rules and guidelines. F*** rules.
