Rolling Stones Plan North American Summer Tour

Billed as "Brandy & Coke (Trampled Under Foot - Initial Rough Mix)", the track is featured on the companion disc of bonus material - which also includes recently-debuted rough mix of "Houses Of The Holy."

"Physical Graffiti" hit No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 on its way to selling more than 8 million copies in the States alone, while topping their native UK album charts and achieving double platinum for sales of 600,00.

Grohl issued the following message, "I found my calling in the back bin of a dark, dusty record store. 1975′s K-Tel's Blockbuster 20 Original Hits by the original Stars featuring Alice Cooper, War, Kool and the Gang, Average White Band and many more, bought at a small record shop in my suburban Virginia neighborhood, it was this record that changed my life and made me want to become a musician. The second that I heard Edgar Winter's 'Frankenstein" kick in, I was hooked. My life had been changed forever. This was the first day of the rest of my life.

"More recently, I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to rediscover this sense of excitement, that magical feeling of finding something all one's own, by watching my kids go through it. Watching them realize how crucial and intertwined every part of this experience is, I relive the magic of my earliest experiences with vinyl singles and albums, their artwork, liners notes etc. all over again and again.

"I believe that the power of the record store to inspire is still alive and well, and that their importance to our next generation of musicians is crucial."

Named after the Black Label Society's 2013 one-off performance at Club Nokia in Los Angeles where they stripped down and rearranged their songs and released it as a live album and DVD of the same name.

Now Wylde is realizing his dream of taking the show to more fans across the U.S. He had this to say, "I always wanted to take Unblackened on the road, we just didn't have the time until now.

"You can take a song that you've played thousands of times and rearrange it, and all of a sudden it's something totally fresh. The attitude of the songs doesn't change when we play them acoustically-the tunes are gritty regardless."

He remains in good spirits and thanks fans for their support, insisting he'll be back playing live later this year. Anderson - who cannot play the violin - jokes: "I will be better very soon. "

I was told by my specialist at UCLA that I will be a different person after the operation. I said, 'Will I be able to play the violin?' He said, 'Yes, of course.' I thought, 'Now that's cool.'"

He and The Crickets drummer Jerry Ivan Allison were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2012 and he was a member of the group until his death in Nashville at the weekend.

"That Black Bat Licorice" will be the next single from White's latest studio album "Lazaretto" and the b-side of the vinyl will be the non-album cover of Harry Connick Jr.'s "Blue Light, Red Light (Someone's There)."

According to The Telegraph, 23-year-old Teyen was taken to hospital with face and head injuries after falling out of the tour bus on a stretch of motorway near Konin - thinking he was opening the door to the onboard toilet.

Police told local media that the singer was "probably under the influence of alcohol." Police spokesman Piotr Kaciak adds: "The victim told his colleagues he was going to the toilet. The toilet turned out to be engaged so he opened the bus's door instead and stepped out while the coach was still moving.

The album will feature the band's take on a collection of traditional British Isles folk songs. 10,000 Maniacs Dennis Drew explains, "Folk music of all types has been a strong influence on the band.

"One of the songs on the new record 'Do You Love An Apple' has been in our repertoire for 30 years. We've also recorded Carter family songs and other American, Irish and British Folk music in the past."

"These are timeless melodies," Drew continues, "Some songs are funny, some are heartbreaking. Most are 100, 200, 300 years old. It's crazy how they can be turned into 21st century pop songs!"

After over a decade of sweatin' it out on the road, as documented on the live album Live Bullet, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band finally had their breakout with 1976's Night Moves followed by Stranger In Town in 1978, capping off a phenomenal end to the decade.

The sheer height to which Bob Seger's star had risen was put on full display when Against the Wind unseated Pink Floyd's epic The Wall album for the # 1 spot on the Billboard chart upon release in February 1980, producing the hits "Fire Lake", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", and title track "Against the Wind".

Superstardom, however, was challenging for Seger. Bob admits to InTheStudio host Redbeard how he was able to find his way after selling over 17 million albums in four short years.

"I think (my) reaction to stardom was very uncomfortable from '76 thru '79, because I had NO reaction (from record execs) for the twelve years prior to that. I was very suspicious throughout that period... I was probably not the best person to be around unless you were really in my inner circle... I was quite closed off. I think it wasn't until 1980 that I really opened up. And that's why I have such fond memories of Against the Wind." - Bob Seger

They explain, "Attention to our highly esteemed and very patient Australian fanbase: It brings us no pleasure to announce that we are not able to play the Soundwave festival this year. We've been waiting years to see you, YEARS and this was going to be such a great line up.

"We had every intention of coming to you and take full responsibility for any disappointment. The good news? A child has been born to the Rival Sons family. Even though we collectively thought it to be sufferable, we've found that taking our brother away from his wife and newborn so soon ultimately defies our personal ethics as a band.

Tenacious D won the award for their remake of Dio's "The Last in Line" which was featured on the 2014 Ronnie James Dio tribute album, "This Is Your Life."

Tenacious D took home the prize ahead of fellow nominees Anthrax, Motorhead, Slipknot and Mastodon. "We are so excited to see one of Ronnie's songs be awarded with a Grammy," says wife/manager Wendy Dio. "As soon as Tenacious D were announced as winners, Jack Black called me in excitement to tell me that we won the award. My only regret is to not have Ronnie here in body to see this happen."

The band previously played the same event in 2011 when the company's chief executive officer, Marc Benioff, asked his neighbor - Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett - if they would perform.

On January 21, Metallica were the featured guests of honor as the NHL's San Jose Sharks hosted Metallica Night. The NHL evening featured the second Bay-area sports team to present a Metallica-themed event: Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants will host the 3rd annual Metallica Night at AT&T Park on Saturday, May 2.

On Wednesday, the Ben Gibbard-fronted Seattle band share their first music video from the new collection, also for "Black Sun," directed by Robert Hales. In the clip, the band plays a production team, filming a scene in which an injured stunt actor gets hit by a car. If you are not a fan of slow motion, you are watching the wrong music video.

Songs by Iron Maiden, Tank, Saxon and Raven make up the record. On his band's cover of Iron Maiden's self-titled 1980 track, Tankard's Andreas "Gerre" Geremia says: "The first two Maiden albums are my personal favorites so it's a real honour to me that our version of Iron Maiden will finally be available on vinyl."

"It's a bit of a rocker and we tried a slightly different production technique on this track by keeping it very dry," say the band. "The song is about just doing what you do best and having a bit of a bunker mentality.

Morse, Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Eric Gillette and Bill Hubauer previously released a video for the title track from the record. Along with a standard CD and digital release The Grand Experiment will also be issued as a 2CD and DVD special edition Digipak.

The second disc features previously unreleased live and studio tracks while the DVD includes a documentary on the making of the album. The record will also be released as a 180g vinyl pressing which comes with the double CD and DVD.

Ellefson told Ultimate Guitar, "We have it pretty much written. We need to go in and obviously record. We're looking at lineup things� that's the big question.

And Varkatzas reveals work is going well on the follow-up to 2009's Congregation Of The Damned, saying it's the best material the band have ever done.

He says: "The lyrics for the new album have been done for a few days and I will finish vocals tomorrow. Absolutely no melodic vocals on my end. Happy to get back to my roots and still bring in some new tricks.

He tells Sunn Creative Music: "The David Cross Band hasn't played for a while but we've finished an album. We're just in the mixing stages and playing with the sounds trying to get the violin and guitar sounds working well together. They're fantastic songs and horribly complicated - not by fault, it's all down to Paul Clark on guitar who comes up with very twisted ideas."

Hoobastank frontman Doug Robb had this to say, "We are extremely excited about finally coming back to the UK to play some shows. It's been way too long.

"What better way, also, than to come back with two great bands that we have a long history and friendship with, P.O.D and Alien Ant Farm. We hope to see all the loyal fans who've waited so long for our return as well as make some new friends. We'll see you soon."

The thrash giants have teamed up with ski manufacturer Armada for the project. In a statement, the band say: "It's no secret that three quarters of the band enjoy our snow sports - Kirk is sticking to the water for now - so we're excited to announce that we have hooked up with Armada to create a line of Metallica skis for you to cruise around the mountains on.

The guitarist's new 10-track record is available now in digital formats and on CD and will head out on an extensive North American tour later this month, starting in Atlanta, Georgia on February 21.

He tells the Vinnie Langdon Show: "I think we really needed to dig deep on this one. I wanted to break that stereotype people had of us as this party-rock band, which kind of put us in a corner with songs like Alcohaulin' Ass, Drink Drank Drunk and Hell Of A Time.

Due March 2 via UDR Records, War Of Kings will be available in multiple formats, including a CD digipak, a CD jewel case, a vinyl LP and a digital download.

Frontman Jason Smith reveals the inspiration for the new track "Faceless Ghost" and how it was borne from dilemma. "It's about my daughter, she was on the way.

"I was feeling apprehensive and scared about the responsibility and seeing a therapist at the time, I was having some really low points, but because I had a daughter on the way it gave me the reason to sort myself out."

While 'Southern rock' is a good catch-all generalization, it's often hard to place Blackberry Smoke into just one genre, and they're OK with that. In fact, a number of rock legends from the South are fans, including Gregg Allman--who sings the group's praises as being "the band that will put Southern Rock back on the map"--and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, who frequently jams onstage with them.

"We never sat down and thought, 'We're a Southern rock band,'" frontman Charlie Starr tells Radio.com over the phone. "We're just a rock & roll band from Georgia. So are R.E.M. They play the kind of music that makes them feel comfortable and so do we. Plus, I have a pretty Southern accent and Michael Stipe doesn't, so the singing comes across in a different way."

"I've always appreciated albums that have a lot to offer lyrically and musically," Starr tells Radio.com, a few days before this week's release of Blackberry Smoke's fourth album, Holding All the Roses. "Nobody wants to buy an album and listen to it and all songs sound the same, that's a bummer. We've always tried to approach an album like an album. Have it be a bit of a roller coaster ride where you have songs with different feel, different subject matter."

Starr says Blackberry Smoke has always made an effort to make a drastically different album than the one they previously released. As a result, Holding All the Roses departs from their 2012 release The Whippoorwill. Produced by Brendan O'Brien (whose credits include AC/DC, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young), Starr recalls meeting with him for the first time and talking about the records that they love. After discussing albums like Led Zeppelin III and Aerosmith Rocks as well as those that O'Brien himself had made, the foundation for Holding All the Roses was made.

While the album takes the listener on a journey, it also shows Blackberry Smoke's evolution as a band. This time around, they're using more textures, haunting string features and keyboard interludes unheard of on the band's previous releases. Throughout its 12 tracks, Holding All the Roses has songs about women, the devil, loneliness and seeing a woman in the moon on the fittingly titled, "Woman In the Moon."

The song was the very first to be a written, and then recorded in demo form for the batch of songs that were heading towards making the album 'Lost Salvation'.

The guitars and main groove to the song had been sent from US to UK where singer Matt Mitchell wrote the lyrics and top lines to fix the track in place to become 'These Four Walls'.

It had been some time since Furyon had felt this spark of writing as the band had been through some member changes and personal turmoil. Lyric writing and subject matter can be difficult for writers to find sometimes. To make it feel right anyway. The lyrics in this case just seemed to be on the tip on the tongue and waiting to be sang.

The basic struggle that one can feel at times was put out from pen to paper, to song. 'I live within these four walls... You'll come to find they tell a thing or two, about me'. It's everyone's view .. Your own thoughts, your own mind. It's a beautiful thing really.
