Rolling Stones' New Album Coming In December Says Was

The lively jam blends the band's previous relaxed indie rock feel with a greater pop sensibility. The intro riff has a touch of Talking Heads about it with its structured yet playful pace, and the roaming bass line paired with a more exploratory guitar riff.

Anselmo hit the headlines earlier this year with his "white power" outburst at a gig in memory of Dimebag, and Paul says the singer has done untold damage to the Pantera brand.

Paul tells R7: "I can't speak for him. He's done a lot of things that tarnish the image of what Pantera was back then and what it stood for and what it was all about. And it's sad.

"But I carry on with what I do, which is Hellyeah, which I'm very, very proud of. And, you know, I can't control anything that goes on with that dude. I mean, honestly, I haven't spoken to him since 2000."

In the back of the accompanying book, behind pages of pictures of the moon's surface, and two sleeves holding the vinyl, there are not one, but two CDs featuring two bonus tracks, 'Spectre" and 'Ill Wind."

It's the latest development in a story that started when the pair buried the hatchet after Worsnop's acrimonious split from the band to form new group We Are Harlot.

Earlier this week, Worsnop said on Twitter that he was flying to Arizona to meet up with Bruce and producer Matt Good. He said: "Who knows, maybe play a little music."

Byford tells Eonmusic: "I've finished the lyrics for that, and it will make the album. I asked bassist Nibbs Carter to write me a song that was similar to Motorhead, and he did. I just put some lyrics to it and that's how it came about.

"It's about the 80s. It's about the Bomber tour and Ace Of Spades. That's when we first met them - on the Bomber tour we supported them. It's about that, and the album No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, and the subsequent 80s scene."

Led by former Motorhead guitarist Campbell, the band includes his sons Todd, Dane and Tyla along with vocalist Neil Starr. Their five-track release was produced by Todd Campbell and mixed by Motorhead collaborator Cameron Webb. It's described as "raw, gritty, classic and instantly accessible rock'n'roll."

Phantom Bride will be released from October 3 and is named after their track featuring Alice In Chains mainman Jerry Cantrell. It appeared on the band's eighth studio album Gore, which launched in April.

Deftones are the latest band to launch their own alcohol, joining artists including Opeth, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Queen and AC/DC.

Mainman Kirk Windstein recently described the new material as "more meat and potatoes" than previous outings. He added: "I intentionally went back and listened to a lot of old Crowbar stuff, like the self-titled and Broken Glass albums, to get a feel for what my mindset was 20-plus years ago.

"I also went back and listened to the bands that influenced Crowbar in the beginning, like Trouble, Saint Vitus, Melvins, and the first Type O Negative record. So it was kinda me doing my homework.

"Having this be our 11th record, we're very fortunate because so many bands don't last this long. My whole outlook on music as a career is the Motorhead outlook, which is that slow and steady wins the race.

The package features live recordings selected from Led Zeppelin's appearances on BBC Radio between 1969 and 1971 while presenting the expanded and definitive edition of their 1997 set, "BBC Sessions."

The earlier release debuted and peaked at No. 21, and spent 20 weeks on the Billboard 200. "The Complete BBC Sessions" recently delivered Led Zeppelin their highest UK chart position in more than three decades.

Now a statement has confirmed that ReVamp have officially parted ways. A statement from the band reads: "We are sad to inform you that ReVamp has officially stopped. After two great albums it is unfortunately not possible for Floor Jansen to have a band next to Nightwish. Projects perhaps, but a band deserves a 100% devotion which is impossible to deliver to two bands at the same time."

The third annual Doc'n Roll Film Festival takes place in the capital from November 2 to 13 and will also show documentaries about Parliament/Funkadelic, The Orb, Gregory Porter, satanic black metal, Norwegian disco, Burmese punk as well as jazz stars Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon and Bill Evans.

Vocalist Austin Dickinson says: "Conceptually it's about trying to navigate your way out of disaster, be it personal, collective, or a war zone." One of the other tracks on the EP, Deathless, targets "the internet culture's obsession with image."

Dickinson - the son of Oron Maiden's Bruce - is joined in As Lions by guitarist and keyboardist Conor O'Keefe, guitarist Will Homer, bassist Stefan Whiting and drummer Dave Fee.

Their Popestar EP debuted at the top of the Billboard chart this week, powered by the launch of new track Square Hammer. The release also includes covers of the Eurythmics, Echo & The Bunnymen, Simian Mobile Disco and Imperiet.

The Ghoul tells Billboard: "We always have a short list of songs we want to do. We find songs that are interesting for us to work with. There must be some kind of ignition, a spark, where you want to change it. Something I feel you can do a version that isn't necessarily straight-up."

He accepts some people don't like their approach. "There's always your more anal, puritan metal people who are like, 'Aw, f***, you should do King Diamond.' Why?

The 15-song set presents material recorded over the course of several tours in cities all around the world, including guest appearances by Jeff Beck on their 1985 single, "Rough Boy", and on the 1947 Merle Travis classic, "Sixteen Tons."

When asked if they'd say yes if approached by organisers of the Californian festival, Ulrich responds: "Absolutely. If we can still keep buzzing around and continue to have one foot in relevance and one foot in the future."

She's Tight is a cover of Cheap Trick's 1982 single and Steel Panther's version features Robin Zander. The video also includes a cameo from Cheap Trick's Zander, as well as appearances from Paris Michael Jackson and Bobbie Brown.
