Guns N' Roses Announce More Reunion Shows

His family - wife Cindy and children Taylor, Deacon and Otis - announced his passing in a joint statement with the Eagles. Musicians including Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Ryan Adams, Huey Lewis, Scott Ian of Anthrax and Judas Priest's Richie Faulkner have expressed their grief at the news of his death.

And Henley has offered his own, personal, tribute to a man he describes as "funny, bullheaded, mercurial, generous, deeply talented and driven." Henley adds: "He was like a brother to me; we were family, and like most families, there was some dysfunction. But, the bond we forged 45 years ago was never broken, even during the 14 years that the Eagles were dissolved.

"We were two young men who made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles with the same dream - to make our mark in the music industry. And with perseverance, a deep love of music, our alliance with other great musicians and our manager, Irving Azoff, we built something that has lasted longer than anyone could have dreamed.

"But, Glenn was the one who started it all. He was the spark plug, the man with the plan. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of popular music and a work ethic that wouldn't quit."

He continues: "He loved his wife and kids more than anything. We are all in a state of shock, disbelief and profound sorrow. We brought our two-year History Of The Eagles Tour to a triumphant close at the end of July and now he is gone.

The trek is scheduled to get underway on May 3rd in Biloxi, MS at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and will be concluding on May 25th in Fort Wayne, IN at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.

Prior to the coheadlining tour, Disturbed will be launching their own North American headlining trek in support of their chart topping album "Immortalized," which was released last year.

Jack Daniels has unveiled a special single barrel whiskey to celebrate the iconic hard rock band. According to the Atlantic City Bottle Company, the select whiskey "celebrates 40 years of the loudest rock band on the planet."

The special limited-edition liquor is usually reserved for a "Jack Daniel's Master Distiller," which explores the "nuances of whiskey from a single barrel." It is described as "dark, oaky, but still some corn and sweetness with that signature Jack smooth charcoal smoky finish." Jack Daniels encourages fans to "Raise a glass and celebrate with Motorhead and their ol' friend Jack."

Tourniquet drummer Ted Kirkpatrick assembled an all-star line-up to pay tribute to Black Sabbath as they gear up for their final tour The End - 48 years after the metal trailblazers formed.

The Doom In Us All: A Tribute To Black Sabbath features members of Judas Priest, Living Colour, Nile, Skid Row and Tourniquet covering their favourite Sabbath songs.

After IS extremists killed 130 people in the French capital - 89 of them at an Eagles Of Death Metal show - on November 13, Lamb Of God were among the acts to abandon their planned tour and head home.

Now the drummer has given more detail on the decision, saying that security staff at the venue in Tilburg, the Netherlands, where LOG were due to play on November 18, had spotted two men acting suspiciously outside.

Adler tells Elliot In The Morning: "We already knew about the Paris attack, but when we got to Tilburg, we realized that the same night we had played in Germany, about 200 miles away, was the planned attack of a stadium there. There was an ambulance full of explosives that they found.

"So we were glad that nothing happened there. And so we got to Tilburg. And there was a specific security concern at the venue, where the venue security found two grown men outside taking pictures for hours of the facility and where the buses were parked and where the trucks were parked.

The rocker performed an acoustic set at the Melrose Ballroom in Long Island City, New York on September 10 that featured stripped-down renditions of Aerosmith classics and his debut solo country single "Love Is Your Name."

Tyler was joined by Loving Mary, a band featuring longtime collaborator Marti Frederiksen, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Lindsey Lee and Eric Paslay - as well as Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt.

"Steven Tyler is one of the greatest creative minds of our time," says Front And Center Executive Producer Don Maggi. "To have him in this setting stripping down his music to the essence of what makes a great song - paying tribute to that craft - is an honor for us."

YouTube star Rob Scallon has recorded a metal interpretation of Bach's Badinerie, which was part of the German composer's Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067, written between 1738 and 1739.

He tells Guitar magazine (via the Belfast Telegraph): "A chunk of it will be retained by the estate for the time being. But there's a lot of stuff left and it's made to be played, to make a noise with, so somebody should make a noise with it.

The Batman star appears in The Big Short, playing the role of hedge fund manager Michael Burry. The movie is based on a true story and Burry is known to have played the drums to metal and rock to calm himself down.

Bale tells Screen Rant: "It was a wonderful crash course. Double kick drum - Pantera By Demons Be Driven. Fantastic song to begin with. This is how Mike Burry unwound, this is actually how he calmed down.

"He would listen to it all day in his headphones, not just that - Mastodon as well. His brain is on fire so much that death metal calms him. He's a very different individual to most of us."

Gregg Allman brought his group to a close in 2014 - a move which meant Trucks could concentrate fully on his third album with his wife Susan Tedeschi under the Tedeschi Trucks Band banner. Let Me Get By is out on January 29 via Fantasy/Concord.

Trucks tells The Wall Street Journal: "I had been wanting to focus on one band for years. Once the decision was made to end the Allman Brothers, I just wanted the final run to be strong. When we pulled it off, I had a huge sense of relief and then I strongly felt the cord being cut."

While Trucks enjoyed his time with the Allman Brothers Band, he says he's glad to be away from some of the "heaviness" that's surrounded the group in recent years. He adds: "I felt liberated as we got home and started writing this record, a feeling that has definitely fuelled everything we've done since.

He previously said of the album: "Trust No One is filled with killer riffs, groove after groove and massive hooks. It's rightly named - there will be no explanation needed regarding what the title means. The lyrics are volatile and straight to the point."

The follow-up to 2009's Cosmic Egg was recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with double Grammy-winning producer Brendan O'Brien - who has worked with Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Chris Cornell and Bruce Springsteen.

Mainman Andrew Stockdale played guitar and bass and brought in former Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle man Josh Freese and REM, Air And Beck Joey Waronker drummer to split drum duties.

Briggs says: "To me, it's forward thinking, it's writing about boundaries without worrying about song length or structure. Really, no rules I guess. Especially when you've been around as long as we have, it's constantly trying to do something new.

"The band started out 15 years ago in the hardcore scene and travelled through quite a lot of metal worlds. Something that was always kind of there and peeking its head out was this more progressive rock and metal influence."

Tarja tells Transilvania Culturala: "It was a huge challenge, it still is a huge challenge to sing rock, because I never thought of becoming one of the most followed female singers in rock genre.

"But I took the challenge, because I love the music, and it's all about that. There are no borders in music in general. When I'm doing something, I do it with my heart. And so if I feel good about something, I'm going for it 100%. That's been my passion in that sense, in music, to feel free.

Joining Alper in Tiny Giant is multi-instrumentalist Mat Colis. The pair describe the band's sound as 'dream pop meets future rock', and cite their influences as including Genesis, Talk Talk, Cocteau Twins and Kate Bush.

The new live package was recorded on the Polish leg of the band's 20th anniversary tour, scheduled following the release of eighth album The Unquiet Sky.

The album is launched on February 26 via Century Media and is their second album under that name, having released their first record as Entombed AD - Back To The Front - in 2014.

On the album writing and recording process, Guitarist Nico Elgstrand says: "I think it is safe to say that all of us in the band feel like we just have given birth to one tank each. Meaning the pregnancy and delivery was everything but pleasant.

"Still, when watching our newest offspring play with their cannons and bombs, blasting everything around them to bits, we feel, just like any parent, pride and joy and wouldn't have it undone for all the money in the world."

Raging Speedhorn expect the as-yet-untitled album to be released later in 2016. It'll be their first with original singer Frank Regan since 2005's How The Great Have Fallen.

He tells the LA Times: "Shortly after I moved out to the US, out of sheer boredom, I randomly tuned into a couple of oldies radio stations and found that I really enjoyed them.

"I fell in love with everything I heard - rock'n'roll, blues, doo wop, basically everything from that era. That really did it. Once I delved a bit deeper, it was obvious that I had to explore Chicago and Delta blues to get to the source of this music."

The band are led by executive chairman of New York's iconic Madison Square Garden, Jim Dolan. And he says the band's numerous support slots for the Eagles in the past have stood them in good stead for their own headline shows.

Dolan tells The Blues Magazine: "The Eagles shows were wonderful for us because it was a real test of your stage grit. You have to get up there and win the audience over.

The free summer shows on the venue's 3rd Street Stage have become one of the most popular summertime events in the city. "We are ecstatic to have Joan Jett & The Blackhearts kick off Fremont Street Experience's eighth summer concert series this year," says Fremont Street Experience Director of Marketing Thomas Bruny. "Downtown Las Vegas is such an energetic place to see a live concert and offers the best values in the city.
