"Really looking forward to doing the American shows with Axl," adds bassist Cliff Williams. "It's going to be a really good time. It's going to be great." Watch the video

Readers and bands cast their vote in the huge poll, with the results laid out in full in the magazine alongside analysis from the artists themselves.

"The chaos, I might almost say panic, that reigned at these concerts was unbelievable unless you were there," wrote producer Sir George Martin in his album notes for the original 1977 package. "Only three track recording was possible; The Beatles had no 'fold back' speakers, so they could not hear what they were singing, and the eternal shriek from 17,000 healthy, young lungs made even a jet plane inaudible."
The revamped reissue was newly-remastered by the late Beatles producer's son, Giles Martin, and engineer Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios. "A few years ago Capitol Studios called saying they'd discovered some Hollywood Bowl three track tapes in their archive," explains Giles. "Technology has moved on since my father worked on the material all those years ago. Now there's improved clarity, and so the immediacy and visceral excitement can be heard like never before.
"My father's words still ring true, but what we hear now is the raw energy of four lads playing together to a crowd that loved them. This is the closest you can get to being at the Hollywood Bowl at the height of Beatlemania. We hope you enjoy the show�"
"The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl" is being issued as a companion to director Ron Howard's upcoming feature film documentary, "The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years." Read more including the tracklisting

DuVall previously said of the album: "Writing lyrics for these songs was somewhat like writing for film - the mood shifts rapidly and drastically within a song.
"Sometimes the whole scene changes. There were a lot of times where, if you were trying to impose conventional rock songwriting standards on this, you'd be in a whole world of trouble." Check out the new song

Anderson previously told TeamRock: "In this album I sing about - we are truth, we are heaven, we are. And about the destruction that is religious confusion.
"We are all one on the planet, of one being. You can compare that to Close To The Edge or Awaken. Every big project I've done has had similar themes.
"Know that you will be understood, you will be loved. It's a natural thing. To put this into lyrics without being preachy is a delicate thing. You have to be warm and open. The positive side of life is always growing." Watch the video

The band recruited Bryan Cox to direct the clip. He had the following to say, "Working with Gemini Syndrome has been something I've wanted to do since the band debuted in 2010.
"The second I heard 'Remember We Die' I knew I had to make a video for this song. All of the pieces fell into place and it was incredibly gratifying to see everyone so blown away when previewing the video. I hope all the fans enjoy watching this video as much as we enjoyed producing it."
Gemini Syndrome drummer Brian Medina adds, "'Remember We Die' revisits the theme of duality. The main character is dying in a hospital bed. As the doctors struggle to save her, she crosses the veil to save each of their lives from their own destructive pasts.
"'Remember We Die' reminds us that our existence is precious. Every moment we are alive is a gift and an opportunity to contribute to the stream of life." Check out the video
It's the sixth track to appear from the follow-up to twin titles Juggernaut: Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega, after Prayer Position, The Way The News Goes, Marigold, Flatline and The Price Is Wong were previously released. All six can be heard below.
Frontman Spencer Sotelo said this month that the band hadn't arrived at writing sessions with any preconceived ideas, adding: "It was just kind of, 'Let's sit down and write whatever feels like it should come out.'
"With Juggernaut, we were going for a very specific thing - trying to write a story and then match the vibe with the music and lyrics. With the new record, we went back to whatever we were feeling. I prefer writing that way." Stream the new song
