Phil Collins Announces Comeback Tour

Artist Calum Alexander Watt revealed some concept art he'd created for the project in 2011. Now gameplay scenes have been revealed from the only level that was ever created.

In the PtoPonline.com video below, Andrew Borman says: "The game was to be a post-apocalyptic action adventure game. No gameplay had been revealed at all.

But the episode kicked off a period of Bon Jovi's life that he says has been so dark that he can't begin to describe it. He tells the Mirror: "Everything was great and we were just coming off a break - but he never came back to work. It was a shock.

The October, 1977 performance of the fan favourite is the only known studio recording of the fast version, captured during the sixth and final session for the BBC.

"'We Will Rock You' - profundity or just another teenage anthem!?" remarked BBC DJ John Peel upon airing the song in 1977. "I've never seen them live. I must admit I'd like to - a band that sounds like nutters, actually, and I like that because I like rock music to sound a little out of control."

Weinman says the man was "heckling and talking sh*t" throughout the set and then poured beer over his guitar pedals before he took action, aided by the band's former singer Dimitri Minakakis.

Weinman tells Rolling Stone: "This guy kept f***ing with me during our set for some reason, heckling me and talking sh*t. I was just trying to ignore him, but then he poured beer all over my pedals - I didn't have much money, and they cost a lot to replace.

"So I slapped him in the face with the headstock of my guitar. I was like, 'Come on, man, I just want to finish the set.' But he kept motioning like he wanted me to come off the stage and fight him, so I told him to come up and get me.

We were sent over this excerpt from the book: "When it comes to what defines me as a person, a lot of the best things in my life have come about because of the worst things, which is a weird one when you try and think about divine intervention and all that bollocks.

White had the following to say about his return to the fold, "Greatly looking forward to getting back on stage with my bandmates to play Yes music once again for our devoted audiences."

Good revealed the new project - and he says that they will "probably" have their debut record out before Christmas. Their drummer is still to be announced.

Guitarist Bjorn Gelotte recently compared the recording process between Battles and its 2014 predecessor, Siren Charms - and how it shaped the feel of their new material.

He said: "Siren Charms had a very dark vibe to it. We recorded it at a cold, damp and dark time during the year in Berlin so it gave it a certain melancholy to the record.

Guitarist Paul Mahon previously said the band had to approach the writing process differently for the follow-up to 2015's Raise A Little Hell as they were struggling to find inspiration.

He said: "We initially sat there looking blankly at each other. It was certainly disconcerting to move away from our traditional approach but we had to embrace a new process.

Comments from the band: "After connecting with so many great servicemen & women on the ?Freedom To Rock? tour with KISS in the US, we are thrilled about this opportunity to play for some of the people that defend our freedom all over the world. If you?re a service member, catch us at a base in South Korea in October. If you?re a fan, join us in supporting our military by visiting www.USO.org/FORCE to learn how to become a Force Behind the Forces." "

Bass player Marco Mendoza, whose father served in the Air Force, states: "It?s a great time to pay respect and give a little back." Singer John Corabi, son of an US Army serviceman, adds: "We will bring a little of America to you guys! We can?t wait to get over there and play, it?s going to be a blast!"

Frontman Frankie Palmeri recently revealed a new lineup featuring bassist Phil Lockett, guitarist Josh Travis and drummer Josh Miller. The overhaul came after Palmeri was left as the last man standing when the rest of Emmure left in December of last year.

The description continued: "Tao Of The Devil is more focused than its predecessor Black Power Flower and boasts a more song-oriented and groovy stoner sound, with a healthy dose of 70s style greatness."

"Black Love (20th Anniversary Edition)" will include a remastered version of the original studio album as well as nine previously unreleased recordings, including demos, outtakes and studio jams.

He issued a video statement following the incident, saying it was an inside joke - but he says critics won't get anymore apologies. He tells Decibel (via Blabbermouth): "I do take full accountability. I'm not deflecting at all.

"What I did was insulting, absolutely, and abhorrent, because it did truly upset people, and it hurts my heart that anyone would think that I'm the dreaded 'R' word - a racist.

Speaking after appearing with X Japan on stage in Tokyo at the weekend, Simmons tells Metal Hammer: "At the end of the day, all that matters is what happens on that stage - that's electric church.

"That's glory hallelujah, all hail rock'n'roll, where people who spend lots of after-tax money come to the show and their girlfriends have been torturing them about where did you go and traffic jams and all that.

Mainman Townsend recently said: "It's so easy to say 'Everything's sh*t, man - it's all going to hell.' Making a statement that is positive was really where I wanted the power of this record to be rooted.

"I wanted to make something that's really beautiful, but strong. There's a ton of people that aren't giving up and you have to really fight to not give up, so this record is a celebration of that spirit."

The firm's owners, Justin Cline and Ann Magyar, are said to be longtime fans of the city's rock scene. They'd previously created their Mudhoney flavour in 2013 - inspired by the Seattle alt-rock band of the same name.
