David Bowie Bandmate Dennis Davis Dies

Fans have been living in anticipation for a almost exactly a decade since the release of 10,000 Days in May 2006. Last year guitarist Adam Jones said that the end of a drawn-out legal battle would speed up work on the record. But in March frontman Maynard James Keenan reported: "We just can't seem to move forward."

Schon and Rolie were members of Santana before leaving in 1972 to form Journey alongside former Santana manager Herbie Herbert. Next week, Santana and Journey will team up to launch the album with three shows in the Northeastern US.

Our Only Master and The Bats (Are Hungry Tonight) also includes guitarist Dave Bone of The Company Band and bassist Brad Davis of Fu Manchu, and they've been working on the project for at least three years.

Tarja says: "Surprise, surprise! During the process of recording The Shadow Self, I realized that there were so many tracks, too many too dear to me, for just one album. So I decided to keep nothing for myself and to share all my favorite new songs with you.

It's the latest installment of Fret12's The Sound And The Story series, which features Root breaking down his playing, while also taking viewers behind the scenes in the studio and on tour.

But he plans to perform at all of the band's upcoming shows in support of latest album Let Love Show The Way, which was released earlier this year via Mascot Label Group.

Borland is selling old guitars, sales plaques for albums such as Significant Other, Take A Look Around, Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water and $3 Bill Ya'll$ from the US, Austria, South America, Canada, Brazil and more.

He says: "Limp Bizkit isn't over - nor does me selling a bunch of stuff that's taking up space have anything to do with my feelings about the band. I don't like gold records. I think they look tacky and I don't need them to remind me of what I've done.

"I don't need a bunch of old guitars either that don't get played. This is the equivalent of selling bad haircuts that you had when you were in high school.

It was an idea their long-time producer Rick Rubin urged them to investigate, and so far it's paying off. Singer Mike Shinoda tells Billboard: "The thing that's notable to me is that we're approaching the process backwards, for us.

Parker tells Australian Associated Press (via Yahoo): "I think after a long tour and after an album, your brain feels like it wants to relax but at the same time making music for me is something that comes kind of naturally. Just like a brain process.

Frontman Michael Poulsen says: "After months writing and recording, we're thrilled to finally be able to unleash Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie into the world. Play it loud!"

The ex-Whitesnake guitarist will discuss his four-decade career in the title. He explains: "My book will take you from growing up in a small country town, seeing The Beatles on TV and deciding that was for me.

"Then came the hard bit, and what a journey it all has been. I've written tales of my first guitar, the groups I found myself in, touring straight from school gate at age 16."

The video for The Ectopic Stroll sees the band performing the track live during a performance at The Roxy in Hollywood, California, on March 19 of this year.

He says Bowie, who was writing Station To Station at the time, encouraged him and keyboard player Jon Lord to stay and hire new-look guitarist, the late Tommy Bolin.

He tells UCR: "He was always telling me, 'Keep f***ing changing. Never stay the same. Never. Stay. The same. Throw those leather pants away. Throw those boots away. Let me cut your f***ing hair.' He was all about forever changing, and I've always done that, really. Some people don't get it, and some people do.

Hughes continues: "When Ritchie left the band, I gotta be honest with you, I wanted to go back to Trapeze and reform the band. Bowie was in my house, and he said, 'You should go get a new guitar player who sounds way different to Ritchie, and maybe looks different.' He kind of convinced me. I think Jon and I were going to throw the towel in.

And the band's management have confirmed to TeamRock that the record will be called F*** Everyone And Run (F.E.A.R.). Marillion say: "Our new album will be released on September 9, 2016. Final date for pre-orders is June 17. Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered so far. We are very excited about this album and can't wait to share it with you."

Schenker says: "Madrid is one of my favourite audiences. And it fitted well in the routing of our European tour. And we found a nice little place, like an old theatre, a music theatre, with a bunch of balconies, so we decided to use Madrid for this DVD.

This month, the Emperor frontman said that band are unlikely to release a new album as anything they put out now would be a disappointment. He said: "If people want a new Emperor record, what would they expect? They'd expect us to write music as if we were teenagers. You can't really win. At this point I think it would be absolutely pointless. It would be a disappointment - it's kind of an illusion."

Although it was co-created by Arjen Lucassen, he only made a handful of appearances alongside the band, saying: "I don't see myself as a performer, because I'm not very good at it, and I get stage fright and stuff like that."

The group will perform Atomic live along with a screening of the documentary in the background. They'll kick off tour next month, with performances scheduled at Edinburgh Festival in August and London's Coventry Cathedral and The Barbican in September.

Mainman Stuart Braithwaite said: "The Atomic soundtrack is one of the most intense and fulfilling projects we've taken on as a band. Ever since we went to Hiroshima to play and visited the peace park, this has been a subject very close to us. The end results, both the film score and the record, are pieces I'm extremely proud of."

The title track to Pink Floyd's 1975 album has been available as an online exclusive following the broadcast performance of the guitarist's title track to his latest album, "Rattle That Lock."

The 6-date run in July with Dinosaur Jr. and Living Colour serves as a tribute to the early years of Lollapalooza ahead of the band's July 30 headline set at the festival's 25th Anniversary event in Chicago, IL this summer.

The label name was reactivated for Going Back Home, his 2014 album with Roger Daltrey, recorded while he believed he had just months to live - before a revolutionary medical procedure saved his life.

He'll recount that and many other experiences in Don't You Leave Me Here: My Life, which arrives on May 26 via Little, Brown, and follows previous volume Looking Back At Me.

The publishers say: "His calm, philosophical response made him even more beloved and admired. And then the strangest thing happened: he didn't die. Don't You Leave Me Here is the story of his life in music, his life with cancer, and his life now - in the future he never thought he would see."

Series creator Joey Siler also previously featured Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe in a Halloween special last year. Meanwhile, Patton and Norwegian composer John Kaada released a video for Imodium from their experimental side-project, Patton/Kaada last month_._

Patton said of the project: "Kaada's compositions have always resonated deeply with me and his orchestral arrangements for this project are harmonically dense and delicious. Each individual piece is so well constructed and inventively assembled that my vocal passages practically sang themselves.

The event is held across a number of venues in Camden, London, and features a lineup of more than 200 acts. Organiser Chris McCormack said of the 2016 bill:

Draper says: "I'm delighted to sign with Kscope. After speaking to quite a few labels, Kscope understood best what Mansun were trying to accomplish with our albums and their dark humor.
