Pink Floyd Preview New Music

The EP features John Lennon's "Love" (from 1970s's Plastic Ono Band), Paul McCartney's "Call Me Back Again" (from Wings' 1975 album Venus and Mars), George Harrison's "Let It Down" (from 1970's All Things Must Pass) and Ringo Starr's "Walk With You" (from 2010's Y Not).

The band's award winning documentary, which chronicled the dramatic making of the band's "St. Anger" album, will be reissued on November 24th and will be loaded with extras including a 25 minute follow-up piece filmed at Toronto International Film Festival 2013 during the release of the band's second film, Metallica: Through the Never, and more.

The reissue will also be released On Demand and digitally, which the first time that long out of print movie will be available to fans in those two formats.

The band also revealed their release plans for this year's Black Friday edition of Record Store Day on November 28, 2014. They will be releasing a limited-edition 12-inch vinyl of "Lords of Summer."

Side A of the special edition will feature the "First Pass" (studio) version of "Lords Of Summer" along with a previously unreleased live version recorded at the Rock In Rome Sonisphere Festival on July 1, 2014. Side B will feature a laser etching of the Metallica "M" logo.

In addition to their compilation album, the band will release "Be Lucky," which was recorded this summer by surviving members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, as well as touring members Zak Starkey and Pino Palladino.

The Canadian rockers have confirmed the release dates for the project, including Australia (Nov 14), Europe (Nov 17) and North America (Nov 18).

The North American release has been moved back two weeks from its originally scheduled November 4th street date. Nickelback recently premiered a new pop single, "What Are You Waiting For?", as well as a rock single, "Edge Of A Revolution."

Available on CD and vinyl, the set will include "Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ" (1973), "The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle" (1973), "Born To Run" (1975), "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" (1978), "The River" (1980), "Nebraska" (1982) and "Born In The U.S.A." (1984).

Five of the albums are making their first appearance on CD and all seven are making their remastered debut on vinyl. The seven albums are recreations of their original packaging and the set is accompanied by a 60-page book featuring rarely-seen photos, memorabilia and original press clippings from Springsteen's first decade as a recording artist.

They were forced to cancel all shows after he suffered a heart attack earlier this month, following a similar incident in 2012. He went under the knife last week in two separate procedures.

They report in a statement: "After four albums and many great performances, lead vocalist Ronny will be leaving to pursue other interests. We wish him success with his new endeavours.

Griffin says on Facebook: "Contrary to what has been written, me not being in LA Guns any more was not a mutual decision. I was kicked out, plain and simple. Or, as it was exactly worded, 'Phil Lewis has decided the band is going to move forward without you.'

Guitarist Tony Sannicandro says: "This album came together very smoothly. We had the concept beforehand. I took a much more melodic approach than on Demonocracy, focusing on the structuring and layering that would complement the story to my ears."

Producer Jason Suecof adds: "This band is composed entirely of top-notch musicians and they're clearly at the top of their game. The album has got feeling - and it's f***ing brutal."

The landmark follow-up to 1993's Gold Against The Soul represented a change of sound from modern rock to goth, while the band began wearing military-style uniforms for performances. It was their final studio project with guitarist Richey Edwards, who disappeared in 1993 and has not been seen since. He was declared presumed dead in 2008.

Bassist Nicky Wire admits the band have some concerns about the live version, telling the BBC: "It's a lot on James Dean Bradfield because we do it as a three-piece. There's a lot of noise, a lot of words - a lot of everything to do consecutively.

The album is described as the result of a band "looking back at where they've come from, peeling back the years, and taking a fresh look at what's been done."

The guitarist's previous album, 2012's "Apocaptic Love", debuted at No. 4 with 38,000 sold in its first week. "World On Fire" was recorded with Slash's touring band, Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators, and producer Michael Baskette.

This 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.

Frontman Jeff Walker says: "Let's call this 'tying up loose ends.' We thought we'd make the tracks available just in case you didn't buy the digipak, didn't buy the Japenese import, or the magazine issue with the flexidisc."

Guitarist Bill Steer admitted earlier this year that he thought he'd failed when the band split in 1995 - and that's why it took a while to persuade him to rejoin in 2008.

A Mercyful Fate compilation is in the works and the Danish frontman reveals that enhancing selected tracks using modern studio techniques has breathed new life into the recordings.

He tells Canada's The Metal Voice: "I don't like the versions which are out - I think they have been crushed to death and a lot of the original sounds have been squashed.

"One of the main reasons to remaster was to get the songs better presented on radio. But when you make them just louder - you just compress them and lose so many of the details. You crush them to death and I think there's so much missing. There was the opportunity to do something great - so we enhanced what we could find of the old stuff."

The band's future was thrown into doubt earlier this year after frontman Nick Marsh was diagnosed with cancer. He's now clear of the disease, and the group are raising cash to fund a US tour and record an EP. But with 11 days to go in the campaign, they've only reached 20% of their $10,000 goal on their IndieGoGo page.

Now, long-time fan Morrison has stepped in to help push the band towards their target. He'll create two new pieces of artwork and sell them for $500 each - with the money raised going straight to the band.

Dave Matthews Band's first hit "What Would You Say", featuring the Olympian harmonica solo from Blues Traveler's John Popper, brought instant attention and critical raves to this unique musical quintet. Under the cover of a resurging jam band movement in the early '90s, the Dave Matthews Band cut their teeth on the live music circuit, while proving equally savvy in the studio. The musical sophistication of tracks like "Rhyme & Reason", the sublime "Satellite" , and the inventive arrangement featuring woodwinds and violin on "Ants Marching" appeared to set the Dave Matthews Band apart from the fray.

After meeting and interviewing Dave Matthews during the 1996 H.O.R.D.E. Festival tour just as their second studio album Crash was being released, none of the subsequent successes of the Dave Matthews Band since then has been surprising to InTheStudio show host Redbeard. Dave Matthews shares how the music industry was not quick to embrace the band early on, and how that influenced their resolve.

"We didn't really have any reaction from the (music) industry... What happened at the same time was we played a couple gigs and people really reacted. We lifted our noses to the industry and said we're going to just play for people and sorta made it a focus away from the industry. So then when the industry came to us, it was after a few years of playing hard and really ignoring them."

And it was only thanks to finding a copy of the master tape at home which saved the project from being scrapped. He tells Ultimate Classic Rock: "Not only did they lose all of the artwork, they lost all of the master tapes.

"Luckily, I used to keep a vault of tapes from my sessions. I thought, 'Did I keep a copy of this?' Sure enough, I kept this thing and I've had it in my vault for 30 years.

His planned move Down Under hit problems in 1971 because of a quarantine issue and he insists he would have made an impact in the country - although Cheap Trick would never have formed.

He tells the Newcastle Herald: "In 1971, we tried to emigrate to Australia before we had any kids, so our dog was our kid. They wouldn't let us in the country. We had to be in quarantine. I'd be in AC/DC or The Angels right now if that had have happened."

But Nielsen and Cheap Trick will get a chance to revisit Australia when they'll hook up with The Angels for a co-headlining show at A Day On The Green in February 2015. It will be their first visit to the country since their 2008 run with Def Leppard.

It's their first release since 2012's Five and following an intense touring schedule to support that record, they decided to take a break. The band came back together recently, with the addition of new drummer James Pearly Cook, and decided to carry on as they wanted to make "f***ing heavy music to headbang to."

Frontman Dale Butler says: "After taking some time out from the band to do our own things and focus on our own lives, we came back together not feeling we had given all we have to give to Malefice."

The brothers - Mikko, Kie and Jonne - are working with with producer GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine/Biffy Clyro/Rise Against) on the follow-up to 2013's Nine Lives, which is due for release through Spinefarm Records early in 2015.

They intended to release it at the time, but shelved the project until now. It's available to download along with other recordings from the four-piece, together with material by Kentucky Bridgeburners and Nine Pound Hammer. Get it from vocalist Blaine Cartwright's store.

In the clip, available to watch if you have a UK IP address, Lowe said he allows his kids to listen to One Direction, as Homme quipped, "Yeah, I mean, that's not necessarily my direction."

Homme then went on to admit he tries to avoid listening to the British band as much as he possibly can. "I try to shy away from [One Direction] because I have to drive the car, too," Homme said, as he explained his reasoning with his daughter. "Do you want it to go over a cliff or do you want it to go to school? You decide, you're 8.'"

Kravitz first joined his friend and fellow guest, Denzel Washington, to share a story with the host about a recent vacation trip the pair took together, before the rocker played the title track to the record - in addition to delivering a web exclusive performance of "Always On The Run."

"Strut" is Lenny's tenth studio release and first since 2011's "Black And White America." Kravitz will launch a world tour in Moscow on October 22.

Dhani delivered a pair of songs from his father's 1970 triple-album, "All Things Must Pass", including "Let It Down" and "Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)."

The week-long tribute is to mark the release of the new box set, "George Harrison: The Apple Years 1968-75." The week kicked off Monday with a performance by Beck, with Paul Simon playing on Tuesday; Norah Jones will wrap up the series on Thursday.

Available on CD and digital download, "George Harrison: The Apple Years 1968-75" is designed to complement Harrison's 2004 collection, "The Dark Horse Years 1976-92."

Di'Anno had previously insisted his voice was "getting better" and boasted he could hit the notes Judas Priest singer Rob Halford "can't hit any more." He said: "My voice is actually getting better - I'm hitting notes Rob Halford can't hit any more. And the reason is I don't fuss over it. I still smoke, I still drink - I still have it, mate."

Last year, Di'Anno told fans he was "pulling the plug" on his career but changed his mind and is currently working on an album with Architect Of Chaoz.

And drummer Armand Majidi has stated the band have a clear aim with the 14-track title. He says: "I want fans to feel that they just heard a hardcore record that has everything - from blistering speed and bouncing groove, to heavy and pounding, to bright and melodic."

He recently explained: "It's been a while since I've been involved in the writing on an entire album". So I decided I wanted to make a completely original blues album. I've really had to push myself to make everything I do better than the last project. I know the fans expect it. And I feel like I owe it to the fans to give them an original record after all these years."

Amongst the songwriters helping with the project were Journey's Jonathan Cain, and James House, who's written for country stars Dwight Yoakam and Martina McBride.

Drummer Ray Hearne says: "Darkest Light is based on Blind, one of our favourite tracks from the original demo. We've managed to chop the old song in half, cut away all the excess fat and produce a six-minute rowdy riff roller-coaster that will find a home in the heavier side of our live show."

Restoration follows Haken's third album The Mountain, which earned the group three nominations at this year's Progressive Music Awards. The band tour the UK next month as part of a Prog-sponsored bill also featuring Leprous and Maschine.

Frontman Brandon Yeagley said: "With bands like Graveyard, Scorpion Child, Orchid and Kadaver on their roster, Nuclear Blast is the perfect place for Crobot to nest."

Along with the album, the group are running an online competition via Creative Allies to design a label for the band's Full Moon Howlapeno hot sauce. It closes on October 9 and the winner's artwork will feature on the bottle, along with a cash prize of $500.

Something Supernatural launches on October 27 and follows the EPs The Legend Of The Spaceborne Killer and their self-titled four-track recording earlier this year.

Guitarist Toby Stewart says: "When we started writing the album, we made sure to write exactly what we wanted to do even if it took us in some different directions to our other releases.

"We felt a bit tired of bands having to make the music people expected them to when they're capable of a lot more. The initial word we had in our heads when writing this album was 'epic.' We wanted a huge melodic sound and we feel the songwriting has gone up another level.

"Over the past few months, playing shows across Europe, 'The Outlaw' has emerged as a live favourite, so it picked itself as a single, says singer Matt Jones. "But we wanted to make the release something special, which is why we asked US producer Bob Marlette to come up with a fresh mix of the song.

"Bob has worked with a host of great artists, including Rob Zombie & Black Stone Cherry, and we're really happy with the new version - we asked him to push the 'bigger' & 'louder' buttons, you can't go wrong with those! As for the 'Western' theme, it can be a real winner - just think of 'Cowboy Song' by the great Thin Lizzy or 'Desperado' by The Eagles! Classic stuff!"

Frontman Chris Martin says: "It's just a classic song about leaving, about problems reaching a breaking point. That's why it's a crushing two minutes - it's the last straw, the final moment, the decision."

Frontman Joel Birch's lyrics on the record deal with issues such as mental health and suicide and he recently revealed talking to fans who have been affected by his songwriting is "part and parcel" of his job.

He told TeamRock Radio: "When you're given this amazing platform where you can actually change people's lives for the better, I think that's part and parcel of being in a band.

Gibson.com caught up with Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic around the time of the album's 20th anniversary. "You know that the time from when the album was released and the tragic way the band ended seems like a decade in itself but it was actually two and a half years," Novoselic said.

"It was an intense time and a lot happened that it feels like the period is longer. Things were never the same after that and the subsequent time was more normal - whatever that means! Suffice it to say I have much better perspective after 20 years than I did after two."
