Former Guns N' Roses Manager Denies Reunion Claims

(Classic Rock) Former Guns N' Roses manager Irving Azoff has once again hit back at claims that he tried to pressure frontman Axl Rose into a reunion with original lead guitarist Slash.

His company Front Line Management sued Rose in March 2010 for nearly $2 million in unpaid commissions from performances in Europe, Canada and South America based on an oral agreement. Rose filed a $5m countersuit two months later which claimed Azoff tried to bully him into reuniting the classic Guns N' Roses lineup.

Azoff tells New York Times: "I would never go to an artist and say, 'I want you to reunite.' If he had asked me if I thought it was a good idea, I would have said yes. But by the way, nobody tells Axl to do anything. He does what he wants to do."

The 68-year-old music mogul adds that his former client is "a complicated individual," but that he wishes him "nothing but success." GNR have since reunited three of the classic era members. Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan confirmed last month that they'll launch the reunion in April with two Las Vegas shows. They also scheduled two Mexico City concerts in-between headline appearances at Coachella festival later in the month.

Azoff says of the reunion: "I think this is a good historical moment that the public deserves to see. I hope it happens." Read more here.

Aerosmith's Joe Perry Not A Fan Of Steven Tyler's Solo Single

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry doesn't appear to be a fan of bandmate Steve Tyler's new country single judging by comments he made to USA Today ahead of his performance with The Hollywood Vampires at the Grammy Awards.

Tyler recently released his solo single "Red, White & You" and Perry was asked his opinion of it by the news outlet. He said, "If I didn't know him when I heard the song I'd go, 'It's okay, next.'

"I'm not going to say anything else about that. Steven is in Nashville doing whatever he's doing. He's got a (bleeping) rhinestone cowboy hat going 'Yippee ki yay.' I don't know what else to say about that."

Alice Cooper's Hollywood Vampires which features Perry along with Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan, actor Johnny Depp and others paid tribute to Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister with a performance at the Grammy Awards. Read the USA Today report here.

Mick Mars Previews New Song With Former Motley Crue Bandmate

(Classic Rock) Mick Mars has shared audio snippets of two tracks he recorded with former Motley Crue bandmate John Corabi. The guitarist last month posted an image from Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, saying: "What a great great time I'm having creating new, fresh, greasy loud-ass, slamming music."

Now he's unveiled short clips of a pair of tracks, called Gimme Blood and Shake The Cage. Crue wrapped up their Final Tour on New Year's Eve in Los Angeles and since then, Mars has been at work on his own project. He said last year that he planned to work with Corabi again.

Corabi replaced Vince Neil in Motley Crue in 1992 and performed on their self-titled 1994 album, but was ousted on the original singer's return in 1997. Check out the preview here.

Last In Line Can't Replace Chemistry Following Jimmy Bain's Death

(Classic Rock) The future of Last In Line is in doubt following the death of bassist Jimmy Bain, whom guitarist Viv Campbell says can never really be replaced but reiterates that the remaining band members still believe in the project.

The Dio offshoot have cancelled the tour they'd planned to support the launch of debut album Heavy Crown after Bain passed away while taking part in Def Leppard's cruising festival last month.

Last In Line was formed when original Dio members Campbell, Bain, Vinny Appice and Claude Schnell got together in 2012 with vocalist Andrew Freeman. Schnell later bowed out.

Campbell says: "The chemistry is never to be replaced. I don't subscribe to the feeling that you can replace a musician - we're unique, like our fingerprints. It's never going to be the same." But he adds: "We believe in the project. We will work it to some extent." Read more here.

Nightwish's Next Album Will Take Some Years

(Prog) Nightwish mainman Tuomas Holopainen says he's not planning to start work on a follow-up to eighth album Endless Forms Most Beautiful for several years.

He believes the band will take a break when touring duties are completed, rather than starting work on a ninth studio project straight away. Endless Forms is their first release since vocalist Floor Jansen and multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley were confirmed as full-time members, with drummer Jukka Nevalainen stepping back for health reasons.

Holopainen tells GuitarMania: "It's going to take a bit of time. Endless Forms Most Beautiful was quite the effort, and this tour's going to be quite the effort. I think we're going to take a little breather after this tour."

He adds: "I haven't really had the spark for even thinking about another album in the past few months. It's all been about touring and other things. So it's going to happen at some point - but it's going to take some years, I think." Read more and watch the full interview here.

Sammy Hagar's TV Show: Jason Bonham On His Led Zeppelin Father

(hennemusic) Jason Bonham talks about the legacy of drumming he has continued in the footsteps of his father - the late John Bonham of Led Zeppelin - in a clip from Sammy Hagar's AXS TV series "Rock & Roll Road Trip"

"Playing Led Zeppelin songs always has a love/hate relationship because it's the thing I'm most critical about in my performance," explains Jason. "My father was such an amazing musician and drummer.

"He had such a groove; it was unmatched by anybody and I'm not just saying that because every drummer I speak to tells me the same things. To play the music is a great privilege and an honor to be even [mentioned] in the same breath as my father."

John Bonham died in 1980 of a pulmonary edema brought on by inhaling his own vomit after drinking forty shots of vodka in a 24-hour period; he was 32.

The young Bonham began playing drums at the age of four, and appeared with his father in the Led Zeppelin film "The Song Remains The Same", drumming on a scaled-down kit. Read more and watch the clip here.

Twisted Sister Members Discuss Farwell Tour, AJ Pero

(hennemusic) Twisted Sister will head out on a 40th anniversary tour this year, and frontman Dee Snider says the 2015 death of drummer AJ Pero proved to be the catalyst for the Long Island, NY band's farewell trek.

"I've been wanting to call it a day for a long time," Snider tells Billboard, "and after AJ passed everybody agreed it was the five of us from the beginning to the end so now it's really time."

Pero suffered a heart attack while playing on tour with Adrenaline Mob last March, prompting the group to assess their plans moving forward. "The best way I can describe it is it's the last five minutes of the Twisted Sister fireworks display," explains guitarist Jay Jay French, who's planning to publish a memoir as well. "This is the end, and I know people are skeptical because all bands say they're retiring and then they don't. We never did, although (Snider) has retired many times. This is the first time I've said, 'Yeah, this is it.' It's been a long time. It's been over 9,000 shows, and it is time to call it a day."

"We're gonna do a limited number of shows and they're gonna be (big) paydays so everybody can put some money away and we'll go out on a high note," adds Snider. "I don't want to have that 'I've fallen and I can't get up' moment on stage. If someone came along and offered us a s**tload of money for a full-blown tour, I'd still say no."

Snider says he's pleased the band will be finishing on the good terms established by a reunion in 2003 after an acrimonious breakup in 1989. Read his comments here.

(Classic Rock) Thunder frontman Danny Bowes says the band is keen to release another album next year. The band launched a three-disc deluxe package All You Can Eat last month, and are already eyeing 2017 for the release of their next full-length.

Bowes tells One On One With Mitch LaFon: "Providing we stay happy and healthy, we'd love to release another record in 2017. We have momentum and an international presence which is growing. The ripples of love for the Wonder Days album are still coming home to us now."

Thunder's 2015 record Wonder Days enjoyed commercial success last year after it reached No.9 in the UK album chart. Last month, Classic Rock called Wonder Days the band's best album since 1992's Laughing On Judgement Day, adding: "It's a massive reminder that class is both timeless and incandescent."

Singled Out: The Commuters' You'll Stay Right Here

New York-based alternative rockers The Commuters just released a video for their new single "You'll Stay Right Here" and to celebrate we asked lead singer Zeeshan Zaidi to tell us about the track. Here is the story:

"You'll Stay Right Here" is one of the most personal and meaningful songs I've ever written. It's a message of support to someone going through a very tough time. I wrote it when I learned that someone very close to me was diagnosed with cancer.

This song actually came to me in a dream for the most part - the first time that's ever happened to me. This news was on my mind nonstop and one night I woke up in the middle of the night and the piano part was in my head, as were parts of the melody, so I got out of bed and sat at my piano. Started playing and the words and music just flowed -- it was very intense. In a couple of hours I had pretty much written the whole thing. So I turned on the computer and banged out a demo.

The song was my way of saying 'I'm with you, and you're going to beat this. You're not going anywhere.' That's the main message. But in a secondary way I guess it's also about the bumpy emotional ride experienced not just by the person suffering but by those who are standing by him or her. There's a painful helplessness to that situation - I tried to capture it in the line: "You know that I'd gladly take your place / But it isn't up to me." As someone offering support it's not about you, and you don't want to make it about you -- you just wish you could do more.

Making the track in the studio was a profound experience. We went to a special studio with a beautiful sounding grand piano where I played the piano part. Uri and I felt strongly that we needed strings, and real strings. We got our friend Mauricio Herszkowicz -- a brilliant musician from Brazil - to arrange the string part, and brought in a trio to play. That really made the song, along with the percussion and background vocals I sang in the climax - spent a fair amount of time getting the 3-part harmony just right.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself watch the video here and learn more about the group right here!

Death Case For Slipknot's Paul Gray Heading To Supreme Court

(TeamRock Radio) The Iowa Supreme Court will this week decide on the fate of a lawsuit filed against the doctor who treated late Slipknot bassist Paul Gray before he overdosed.

Dr Daniel Baldi of Des Moines has previously been found not guilty by a jury of causing the death of Gray and a number of other patients and a lawsuit filed by the musician's wife Brenna Gray was thrown out by a district judge because it was filed too late after the death.

Now Brenna Gray has taken her lawsuit further up the legal chain and the Supreme Court will explore the case on Tuesday (February 16). If the seven judges allow the lawsuit to proceed, it will change the rules on wrongful death suits. Read more details about the claims here.

Fun Lovin' Criminals' Talk Hip-Hop Vs Rock

(Cannonball) Fun Lovin' Criminals' Huey and Fast discuss "hip-hop vs rock" in the latest preview clip they have released from their 'Come Find Yourself' deluxe edition box set. We were sent the following details about the box set:

The 20th anniversary collectors' edition of the modern classic 'Come Find Yourself' will be released on the Edsel label through Demon Music Group on the 19th of February 2016. Available as a 3CD expanded edition and collectors' Deluxe Edition box set, the release features a plethora of rarities, live recordings, alternate mixes, and much more from the vaults of this landmark record. Bringing a unique collection together from this seminal era for the very first time.

Fun Lovin' Criminals burst onto the music scene in 1996, gate-crashing the euphoric Britpop party they brought along some unexpectedly unique swag and the generational classic album 'Come Find Yourself', which gave us the cackling refrain "stick 'em up punk, it's the Fun Lovin' Criminal" and the Pulp Fiction-sampling 'Scooby Snacks'. When 'Come Find Yourself' hit the shelves it was an immediate smash in the UK, where it remained in the album charts for more than 100 weeks, becoming a multi-platinum selling record.

The album featured 3 UK Top 30 hits: "The Fun Lovin Criminal" "King Of New York" and "Scooby Snacks" all became defining songs of their career and mainstays of their live set but it's a record where you remember each and every track within the first few notes. It transports you back to the time; and yet is timeless and ready for a new audience of fans to fall in love with it all over again. Watch the video clip here.
