Motley Crue's Tommy Lee Returning To Farewell Tour

The promoter of the Lamb Of God concert released a statement explaining the show was canceled because of the terrorist attack at the Eagles Of Death Metal show in Paris last Friday, November 13th and a terrorist threat in Germany this week.

Here is what the promoter had to say, "Because of the attacks on Paris last Friday that also took place in a music venue, a lot of stress is caused for bands playing in Europe.

And Lifeson says although he went into the 35-date trek thinking it would indeed be their last, he's now not so sure. He tells Prog: "I don't know if I do still feel that way now. I thought the tour was great. I thought we played really well, the turnout was fantastic, I thought the set was great, the songs we chose were right.

"There was so much about it that was so positive and I think going into it there was the thought that this is the last one - a nice way to go out on top. But once we were in the middle of it or even towards the end of it, it seemed like it was just too short."

A family statement reads: "The immediate family of Dave VanLanding asks for your understanding and respect as we deal with the loss of David. The family will make an announcement once more details are known and arrangements are made. He was a great friend and touched so many millions of lives through his music and his kindness."

VanLanding joined Mannekin in the 80s and following their split in 1990, went out on the road with Tony MacAlpine on his Eyes Of The World tour. The singer took up vocal coaching before hooking up with Crimson Glory for live dates in 1993. He went on to form Erotic Liquid Culture before auditioning for the Michael Schenker Group in the mid-90s.

And she's taken a pot-shot at her own later career, saying she should have left Starship a decade before she finally did. She retired in 1989, aged 50, and she's frequently argued that musicians who choose to perform rock and rap should bow out at a similar age.

Now Slick tells WENN: "There's something about old people singing rock'n'roll lyrics that bothers me - it just doesn't match. I saw a film of Fleetwood Mac doing something, and I was okay as long as I didn't look at them. I couldn't look at them. They sounded great, and if I looked away and imagined young people singing I was okay with it."

With his box set, The Ties That Bind: The River Collection, being released a few weeks before he hits SNL, it's a safe bet that that's what he'll be promoting.

But fans are now speculating that Springsteen may be using the SNL appearance not just to support the box set, but to announce or support an upcoming tour.

Stan Goldstein, author of the Bruce Blog on NJ.com says he's hearing that live performances may not be too far off. "Look for Bruce to announce dates for a two- to three-month E Street Band tour that will start sometime in December," Goldstein tells Wicked Local.

It's also worth mentioning that at last week's Stand Up For Heroes benefit in New York, one of the prizes that was auctioned was tickets to an E Street Band concert, and a pre-show dinner with the E Street Band.

The band had the following to say in a statement about his departure "We are sad to announce that John Cummings has decided to leave Mogwai to pursue his own musical projects.

Last month, Tool and A Perfect Circle's Keenan told Metal Hammer how the music industry's decline made it harder for Puscifer to make a name for themselves.

He said: "From the time we started recording our first album until we released it, the industry disappeared. So Puscifer, as an independent band, we've fought an uphill battle to develop an identity. Because there's no longer that machine to plop us in front of you to say 'this is a thing.'

Renamed "Love Overdue" by the Rolling Stones guitarist, it's the latest single from his solo album "Crosseyed Heart." Richards' first solo album in more than 20 years sees him reteam with drummer Steve Jordan and guitarist Waddy Wachtel for the project and joined by Stones backup singer Bernard Fowler, keyboardist Ivan Neville, singer Sarah Dash and other guests.

Richards and The Rolling Stones may regroup next month to begin writing and recording sessions for a new album ahead of January rehearsals for their first South American tour in a decade.

Bowie's new single can be heard on the clip as well. The track which goes by the symbol '★" and is pronounced 'Blackstar," will be released tomorrow (Nov. 19) along with a short film directed by Johan Renck. A video for the song will also premiere tomorrow around the globe at 3:50pm ET with a U.S. broadcast premiere on Palladia.

It's guitarist Derek Trucks' first work since his 15-year career with the Allman Brothers Band ended last year, and it's the first time he and wife Susan Tedeschi have written every track for a release.

It was filmed in the lead up to their 2015 Marillion Weekend at Port Zelande, the Netherlands, in March where they played three sets and performed 2001 album Anoraknophobia and 2004's Marbles in their entirety.

The band say: "This is not just a backstage view, it's also an exploration of how Marillion has endured and prospered in an increasingly challenging industry, how the band feel about their music, their reinvention of the music business, their lives, and of the unique relationship that Marillion has with its fans."

The US outfit previously released the tracks Footsteps and In Disarray from their latest studio work. Frontman Leigh Kakaty said of the album: "We want to do our part to remind people that rock and roll is alive and well. It's OK to be you, to be yourself. We don't have to do what everyone expects us to do, we're not going to put out singles and albums that people expect us to do."

"We're going to write music that we feel we can bring on stage and make the most of it, and hopefully give our fans the best live experience they can have."

Call It What It Is is described as "an incisive, bold, poetic statement that could only come from one of popular music's most essential, cohesive and dynamic ensembles."

Recording sessions came after a successful reunion tour earlier this year. The outfit will embark on another extensive run of shows in New Zealand, Australia, the US and Canada ahead of its release.

The band had been on hiatus while mainman Dez Fafara worked with Coal Chamber on their reunion release, Rivals. Fafara says: "Trust No One is filled with killer riffs, groove after groove and massive hooks.

The run of 46 shows starts at the O2 Academy, Leeds, on February 20, and wraps up at Club Nokia, Los Angeles, on May 28. The band say: "What better way to celebrate than to bring you two nights of music in 23 cities across the US, UK and Europe. Come help us relive these moments together."

It was the first time guitarist and vocalist Steve 'Lips' Kudlow, drummer Robb Reiner and bassist Chris Robertson used crowdfunding. But they said earlier this year the time was right to explore an alternative way to raise cash.

Godfrey says: "Into Idle Fury was going to be the lead cut from the fourth Tinyfish album that never was. 2nd Bravest In The Queue was put together in California a couple of weeks back. Ghost Train is an outtake from The Big Red Spark sessions. Weak Machine (Original Demo) was recorded literally inside a closet in Lambeth.

"Papaya Whip was recorded in two sessions almost five years apart - I must have been listening to Brian Eno by the sound of it. Wear My Name is probably one of the bleakest lyrics I've ever written."

The independent festival was created by Maybeshewill guitarist John Helps, and with the help of other artists it's grown to become a multi-arts experience, featuring music, comedy, film, photography and more.

Two videos featuring keyboard player West discussing all the English group's studio albums have been released. And while talking about the band's 1994 second album Psychedelicatessen, he recalls one of many "missed opportunities" to take their career to the next level.

West says: "We were off doing a show in Belgium, a big festival with Whitesnake. The MTV crew were there and for some reason we were on a bus with them.

They said we had to do a video for this song Innocent and they would put it on Headbangers Ball. So we rushed home after the show and put together this video. We thought, 'This is it, this is out big launching pad. We're gonna be on TV and be a big global band.'

This album will be the band's first material released since the death of founding bassist Jonathan Athon, who died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash in 2014 and the US outfit have confirmed that the follow-up to 2011's Set The Dial will feature Athon's final recordings.

It follows the announcement of a new lineup, with bassist Tim Seisser and keyboardist Andrew Lawrence replacing Patrick Mulcahy and Rob Clearfield respectively.

The band last year funded the release of third album 'In Vaults' with the support of fans. District 97 say: "All the puzzle pieces are in place and we are ready to come play for you. The question becomes, how can we do this without losing our necks?

"Back when the music industry was booming, record labels used to bankroll world tours and provide bands with booking agents who would sort out all the particulars. That model has all but evaporated.

"How The Other Half Live" is a song about money, power and the disassociation that comes with achieving it. I wrote it while in a heavy listening rotation of Amanda Palmer, the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and a Netflix binge session of Mad Men with the end result being a poppy, sardonic concoction of the three.

I think like most people, I live with a somewhat persistent financial struggle-doing fine but never doing great. As a result, this song turned into a bitter-tinged fantasy, dreaming about a life of ease and infinite pleasure, but concerned with what parts of myself might get erased in the process. In our society there seems to be a strong influential voice that says "money makes you happy, power makes you happy, more things make you happy" but at what cost? What happens to our humanity and our empathy? What do we have to sacrifice in order to attain more things? These are the kind of topics I wanted to subtly explore under the fa�ade of bright pop chords and candy coated harmonies.

While recording the songs for our new EP, Peachy Keen, we were lucky enough to score ourselves a producer who seemed to really understand what we were trying to achieve. A lot of the songs have a sense of dichotomy between the chord structures and the genuine words and intention- it's actually why we chose the name "peachy keen", a phrase that sounds shiny and sweet, but is often said with sarcasm and cynicism. This divisiveness is especially prevalent in the 1940s style throwback to Jule Styne's "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" that takes place during the bridge of How The Other Half Live. I remember watching a scene from Mad Men were Jon Hamm's character upon finishing a picnic, picks up the blanket and then lets the leftover food, paper plates and plastic ware just fly away in the wind. I was struck by how wasteful, careless it was and how oblivious he was to it. So when I was deciding where the song should go, my mind kept coming back to that moment. It just seemed fitting to let the song echo an era where women were valued for beauty and domesticity, the amount of new technology acquired was equal to stature, and where waste and disregard were the status quo - really not a far cry from where we are now.

With that being said, at the end of the day, the song is fun. It's a fantasy world with bright baubles and bells filled with brassy horns, glittering diamonds and perhaps a few pipe dreams.

We recently won a local contest for How The Other Half Live and are in the process of filming a fully produced music video from Big Teeth Productions out later this year. Peachy Keen comes out December 5th with a release show at Chicago landmark, Subterranean.

"What Begins On New Years Day" follows Sondre Lerche & Jherek Bischoff's "Surviving Christmas" as the second track premiered from the playlist which will be released by Amazon on November 20th for free purchase and for free streaming for Prime members.

The new single comes from the group's forthcoming sophomore album, "Fear and Temptation," which they will release in 2016. The track is available via the band's website TheEasthills.com and CD Baby ahead of its release at leading digital retailers. We were sent the following additional details:

Gillard plays on six of the new album's songs. A guitarist, songwriter and solo artist, he has played with artists including Guided By Voices, Nada Surf, Lifeguards, Death Of Samantha, Gem, Bambi Kino, Sally Crewe, Mascott and many more. "We are truly grateful for Doug's contributions to some of the new songs on our new record. He is a longtime hero of our band and now a mentor and friend," said The Easthills' Hank Campbell.

The Easthills also have a series of shows lined up in November including Sunday, November 22 with Cheap Trick in Terre Haute, Ind., and two shows with the Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band on Friday, November 27 in Indianapolis and Saturday, November 28 in Cincinnati. Tickets for all three shows are on sale now.

It follows last year's debut Arcade Messiah release. Bassett says: "After the surprise success of last year's original Arcade Messiah album, and after receiving feedback from fans of that album, I decided to make a sequel.

The band will be launching the treks in support of their recently released "Ten Years of Pussy," a retrospective album of the bands ten years of working with SPV/Steamhammer.

Up The Dosage (2014), featuring bassist Bonnie Buitrago, has been called "Nashville Pussy's Back In Black" and was Pick Of The Week on That Metal Show.

From Hell To Texas (2009) was recorded at Willie Nelson's studio in Texas and featured some of the band's strongest songwriting to date. And Get Some (2005), was the first SPV release and the first collaboration with Daniel Rey, and has more hooks than a hillbilly's tackle box.

Here is the statement: "While the band is now home safe, we are horrified and still trying to come to terms with what happened in France. Our thoughts and hearts are first and foremost with our brother Nick Alexander, our record company comrades Thomas Ayad, Marie Mosser, and Manu Perez, and all the friends and fans whose lives were taken in Paris, as well as their friends, families, and loved ones.

"Although bonded in grief with the victims, the fans, the families, the citizens of Paris, and all those affected by terrorism, we are proud to stand together, with our new family, now united by a common goal of love and compassion.

"We would like to thank the French police, the FBI, the U.S. and French State Departments, and especially all those at ground zero with us who helped each other as best they could during this unimaginable ordeal, proving once again that love overshadows evil.

"All EODM shows are on hold until further notice.

In The Studio speaks to Queen songwriters, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, about the make or break fourth album from Queen A Night at the Opera.

It would be next to impossible to understate the importance of Queen's November 1975 A Night at the Opera, both to the band's career and to the album's influence on rock thereafter.

Brian May, one of the finest guitarists in rock history, is joined InTheStudio by Queen drummer Roger Taylor in this classic rock interview for the 40th anniversary of this eclectic hard rock album which included: "Death on Two Legs", "I'm in Love with My Car", the progressive rock "The Prophet Song", skiffle pub sing along " '39" , mainstream pop "You're My Best Friend", campy vaudeville "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon", Freddie Mercury'sdrop dead gorgeous love song "Love of My Life" , and the mock operetta song for the ages "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Broke after three albums, Queen's Brian May reveals to InTheStudio host Redbeard how desperate the band's situation was, but also how determined they were to do it.

"It was definitely sink or swim. If that album (A Night at the Opera) hadn't done what it did, that would have been the end of the band... We took a lot of risks and that was always the name of the game, I suppose. And "Bohemian Rhapsody", in particular, everyone said, 'you can't put that out as a single'... Well that's what we're putting out and we're not changing it." - Brian May

The campaign will kick off with December 4th reissue release of their hit album "Bleed America" as a single LP. December 11th will see the release of three double LP reissues for "Static Prevails," "Clarity," and "Futures".

"Stay On My Side Tonight" will follow on the 18th. According to Prescription, "Never before released on vinyl, 'Stay On My Side Tonight' is a five-track EP originally released by Jimmy Eat World through downloads on September 13, 2005 and physically released on October 4, 2005.

Featuring newly unearthed archival footage and an extensive interview with the grunge architect, the episode is an in depth look at one of one of rock's most iconic living frontmen. Along the way Cornell also shares how he got his start as a solo artist and explains why spontaneity is a rarity among musicians today - all while sprinkling anecdotes in anecdotes from his time in Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Audioslave.

It follows the mainman's battle with cancer, during which the band launched a crowdfunding campaign to help pay for his treatment. Spaghetti says: "If you don't like Holdin' The Bag, then you really don't like the Supersuckers.
