Motley Crue Plan Very Special Final Show

Next week, Slash will promote the project and mark the Guitar Center's 50th anniversary with a series of three concerts in Hollywood's most legendary clubs.

The rocker will play shows at The Troubadour (Sep 23), The Roxy (Sep 25) and The Whisky (Sep 26). "I've always admired Guitar Center's commitment to artists," says Slash. "They're constantly creating new avenues for musicians to get their music out to fans and inspiring people to pick up an instrument and play. They've also been supportive of my career since the very beginning here on the Sunset Strip. I am happy to be a part of their 50th celebration."

For fans unable to make it to Hollywood, Guitar Center will present Slash Live from The Roxy, in a DIRECTV 90-minute concert special set to air on DIRECTV's Audience Network (channel 239) on November 9th at 8 p.m.

The October shows at Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina have become an annual ritual for fans. "This year marks our 24th anniversary so nothing short of a massive hurricane could have kept me from Cabo," says Hagar.

"But after seeing the damage that Odile's caused to Los Cabos' airport, resorts and town, it's with an incredibly heavy heart that we've come to that decision.

"Our prayers and best wishes are with our Cabo Wabo family and everyone that's been affected by this storm. Los Cabos will recover better and stronger than before because of its incredibly strong community."

In an interview with the Mike & Ike Show on 94WIP (a CBS Radio station), Simmons spoke to the incident between Rice, a former player for the Baltimore Ravens, and his then-girlfriend and now-wife, whom Rice was shown punching and assaulting in video obtained by TMZ, leading to his release from his team.

"My opinion is, if he was in jail for a day and became somebody's girlfriend maybe he'd knew what abuse is life, but that's another story," Simmons told the station. "I'm against physical violence of anybody. You raise your hand to somebody you should he held accountable, not just in the legal system. It's unsportsmanlike."

Simmons added that he felt the "saddest part" of the ordeal was that "Rice's wife or fiancee isn't copping to the fact that she was abused. More than abused - knocked out, the physical stuff."

The home video box set collection will be offered in a 10 DVD or 6 Blu-Ray versions that will be housed in a 52 page hardback book. They are set for release on November 11th, 2014. The band sent out these details:

R40 will include "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 that spans from 1974 to 2013.

The bonus disc will feature the full 8 songs from the Laura Secord Secondary School show in 1974 which features original drummer John Rutsey. That recording includes 2 Rush originals "I've Been Runnin;" and "The Loser", as well as their cover of Larry William's "Bad Boy", made famous by The Beatles.

"We've been extremely proud to offer virtually every show we've done in the past ten years as a download within days of the shows happening... sometimes even hours!," posted the band on Tuesday. "Over the years we've been able to offer more download options adding HD audio and Apple lossless files to the mix, but we still get requests for the "old school" compact disc. To celebrate ten years of Live Metallica, we're going to make that happen!"

"Starting today through the end of this year, every show that we've played in 2014 will be released on CD!," they continued. "We are gonna roll out three shows at a time on Mondays. We want to keep it simple, so we'll go in order of when the shows were played starting with Bogot�, Colombia, Quito, Ecuador and Lima, Peru from the March South American run. Next week the next three shows will be available and so on."

"For those of you who want it all, we're also giving you a chance to pre-order a box set with all 27 shows included, which will ship in December," said Metallica. "There's that special concept of a volume discount and you'll have a box to store all your CD's in. CD's will be priced at the very clever price of $19.81 a pop with the box set at $417.00 (spot the savings!) and you can place your orders at either LiveMetallica.com or in the Met Store."

Snippets from the film have surfaced over the years, appearing in videos and other documentaries, but this is the first time it has been officially released in its entirety.

Feast Of Friends includes the original film, which has been fully remastered, a compilation of outtakes titled Feast Of Friends: Encore, the 1968 documentary The Doors Are Open and a 10-minute live version of The End, which appeared on Canadian TV.

Bello tells WVOX: "Scott Ian and I were jamming with Charlie Benante, just doing demos. You know after you're done with a song, you're shaking your hand like you do a fastball? I'm tell you, the blood needed to flow again.

"I like the fact we have to work for this. That means there's something going on with these songs. Scott and I look at each other and start laughing, then we start shaking our hands: 'That's going to be a good one!'"

Now, Harrison is going to be the subject of a couple of tributes centered around the Sept. 23 reissues of his first six solo albums. During that week, Conan will feature daily tribute performances of Harrison's music, by artists including Beck, Dhani Harrison and Norah Jones. Dhani is George's son, oversaw the reissues (he also co-produced his father's final album, Brainwashed, released in 2002) He leads his own band, thenewno2, and is also a member of Fistful of Mercy, alongside Ben Harper and Joseph Arthur. Norah Jones has her own Harrison connection: she is the daughter of Harrison friend and classical sitar legend Ravi Shankar.

Bowie writes in the liner notes, "From their noisy and brash beginnings the Kinks have come to stand for some of the most enduring and heart-clutching pop of all time.

"They are in the gut of every British songwriter, and are indisputably a cornerstone of everything pop and rock. I love 'em. The world loves 'em. I've never head a Kinks song that I didn't like."

The collector's package will be limited to 1000 copies, and will feature a host of goodies, including: "The Miami Bedroom Rehearsals" 28-page photo book, Original "Dirty White Boots" Polaroid personally paint-splattered by Lenny.

Spencer tells KZRR: "I'd been up for a couple of days in Vegas, doing coke and meth and drinking the whole time. I had a straw in one hand and a bottle of Jack in the other for something like 20 hours.

"All of a sudden my body just went, 'Enough.' I started convulsing, my heart was starting to skip beats, I was breaking out in cold sweats and I was shaking. It was really scary.

"I was laying on the bed thinking, 'You may have done it this time, you idiot.' Then I started thinking about how bummed out my parents were going to be. That their son, who left him at 19 to achieve this dream, finally achieved it - then he's going to die."

He fears the young musical talent won't be exposed to the range of art he was able to discover for himself. Fletcher tells the Bolton News: "I feel a lot of things are accessible via the internet - but there are large holes in the younger generation's knowledge of music.

Esposito tells SROMaginc.com: "He didn't use me on Space Invader, which I thought was kind of hard after Anomaly did so well. So many people liked it and I was really instrumental in that record.

"I was like, 'Hey, Ace, I don't know if I'm in the touring band or not," and he texted me back saying, 'I'm gonna go in a different direction. Chris Wyse from The Cult is my new bass player.'

He continues: "I was in the band for seven years. And I did a lot more than just play bass. I was the tour manager, stage manager, merch guy, and I would settle all the money with promoters.

The singer previously said making the film "saved" him, but now reveals how difficult it was to portray the iconic guitarist. He tells Shortlist magazine: "It was very hard - it's almost the same as walking backwards. The crazy part was when we first approached the film. We thought we were going to be able to shoot it right-handed, so I could have full confidence and full movement of knowing how to do it. We were going to try to flip the image."

He tells Yahoo Music: "I thought Music From Another Dimension was one of the best records we'd done in years, because it was the record that fans seemed to have been asking for.

"Over the last 20 years, we'd get requests like, 'Why don't you make a record like the old ones?' I think we got back to the real deal with the last record, but circumstances being what they were, it never got the push from the label.

"We had this whole promotion set up with the G.I. Joe movie, but I got a call from Paramount saying, 'We're pulling the movie for six months,' so the whole promotion thing was pulled right from under us. At the same time, the president of Sony went to Universal two weeks before the album came out. If that isn't a setup for a bad opening, I don't know what is."

The results appear in KaLIVEoscope, to be made available in deluxe 3CD/Blu-ray, deluxe 2DVD, 3CD/DVD digipak and standalone Blu-ray formats on October 27 via InsideOut.

He tells WRKR-FM: "Our stage production is two stories and I'm up and down those stairs several times throughout the set. It's not easy when you sing my style of vocals.

"I get much less oxygen than the rest of the band as I take a deep breath and let it out slowly while I'm controlling the outflow. I can sing song lines and keep talking, so it's a lot less oxygen into the blood. I really have to economise what's going on.

The Paradise Lost singer might be known these days for his sonorous tones, but Bloodbath's forthcoming album, Grand Morbid Funeral released by Peaceville Records on November 17, will see the return of the ravenous and cavernous growl that marked Paradise Lost's debut album, Lost Paradise, so expect an outpouring of sonic dread, blood-soaked riffs and monstrous grooves, dragged even deeper into the lair of the awesome by the guest appearances of Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler from supreme US filthmongers, Autopsy.

"Ever since I got into Lost Paradise back in 1990," says Jonas Renkse, "Nick Holmes has been one of my favourite growling vocalists out there. He was always audible and articulate but still deep and definitely morbid. It is a great pleasure to work with him some 25 years later after I was introduced to his thunderous roar!"

Lashes To Ashes, Lust To Dust: A Vinyl Retrospective '96-'03 features the band's first four albums - Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666, Razorblade Romance, Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights and Love Metal - along with their 1996 debut EP 666 Ways To Love: Prologue.

Other formats include a set of double-CDs in crushed velvet case, 140g LP set and deluxe coloured vinyl double-LP set. Each contain remastered recordings and bonus tracks - including "Right Here In My Arms" recorded live in Buenos Aires in April.

And she insists any of them who blame record label pressure for their performance are lying. Hynde tells the London Evening Standard: "There's a definite division of what I'd call porn stars trying to make records, and then musicians."

She believes anyone can refuse to put on a sex-powered show if they really want to. "If anyone says, 'I have to do this because my record company told me,' that's a lie," she states. "The artist is in control of what they're doing. You can always tell anyone to f*** off.

Megadeth have also confirmed their first five major-label albums are to be made available as limited-edition vinyl picture discs.Capitol Records originally released Peace Sells� But Who's Buying?, So Far, So Good� So What!, Rust In Peace, Countdown To Extinction and Youthanasia in two-year steps from 1986 until 1994.

The new versions are remastered by Mustaine and pressed on heavyweight vinyl. It's the first time the two later recordings have been available as picture discs.

"Lonely Girl" is the title of the latest taste from Everything Will Be Alright in the End, Weezer's ninth studio album that's set for release on Oct. 7 via Republic Records.

The full-length reunites the band with producer Ric Ocasek, the first time the frontman of rock legends The Cars has piloted a Weezer album since 2001's self-titled set.

The scenes in the promo were shot on the road over the past two years. Frontman Sam Thompson says: "This is probably my favourite track on the album, and it's always great live.

This summer, when Winwood was announced as the opener on Petty's U.S. tour, audiences expected more of the same. But, for some reason, it didn't happen for the longest time.

Guitarist John Petrucci, who also produced the film, recently said: "It was a homecoming for the band, given Dream Theater's origins and ties with Berklee.

"We knew that, against the backdrop of the beautiful Opera House, this would end up being a historic stop on our Along For The Ride world tour. This is a major highlight in our career."

Now the band is taking fans behind the scenes of the making of Songs of Innocence - on Twitter. "These songs were always destined," Bono said in voiceover narration. "But rather than it being painting by numbers, where it's very disciplined and subscribed, it's coming together in a way that's even surprising for us."

The frontman continues, likening their artistic process to that of Eastern artists, who notably prefer to capture the spirit of something in a painting rather than its exact likeness.

"I always think of the zen artists, who spend all their time mixing the ink," Bono said. "Then it's that last few minutes, where the work, the actual gestures are recorded - that's the way our albums always go."

Dave Grohl pointed out that a prominent local Foos cover band was in attendance and dedicated their performance of "Big Me" to the tribute group. A little later, he brought the band's lead singer on stage to take the lead on 2011's "White Limo."

Due September 23 and originally issued in 2005, the updated project adds 70 minutes of material from a show in Lugano, Switzerland on the same tour. Available on 2DVD, Blu-ray, 3CD and digital formats, the Special Edition of "Songs >From Tsongas" contains two different concerts from Yes' 35th Anniversary Tour in 2004, the last to feature the classic line-up of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman and Alan White.

In addition to the originally 2005 release, this DVD is packed with an additional 70 minutes of never-before-released highlights from Lugano. Disc One of the Special Edition DVD contains the whole concert from the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Massachusetts, previously spread across two discs. This epic show features tracks from across the band's career including an extensive acoustic section and some tracks that have rarely been performed live.

Disc Two features a very different concert on the same tour filmed at Estival in Lugano, Switzerland. This outdoor show has a stripped down stage and full on rock versions of the acoustic tracks from Tsongas.

As a Bonus Feature, the DVD includes another track, "Ritual", also filmed at the Tsongas Arena, and an insightful interview with legendary designer and Yes collaborator Roger Dean who created the brand new stage set for the shows.

The Plymouth Herald reports Taylor will be honored alongside cellist Julian Lloyd-Webber, celebrity chef and author Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, legendary sailor Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, football's first million-pound player Trevor Francis, Wayne Sleep, Simon Stokes, artistic director at Theatre Royal Plymouth, and Plymouth's European diving champion Sarah Barrow.

Around 5,000 students will graduate in the marquees atop Plymouth Hoe during the week, which attracts more than 22,000 visitors to the city, and contributes �700,000 to the local economy.
