Liam Gallagher Storms Off Stage Early At Lollapalooza

It's recently been revealed that among the many guests Grohl lined up for the new Foo Fighters album Concrete And Gold, the former Beatles and all-round music legend Paul McCartney will make an appearance as well - as a drummer. Speaking to ET Canada, Grohl said, "Paul McCartney plays drums on one of our songs. He's a pal. We've known him for a long time. He's great. He's the most wonderful person in the world. He's a great guy."

"The first time you walk into Wrigley Field," says frontman and lifelong Chicago Cubs fan Eddie Vedder in the trailer for the upcoming feature, "it's like stepping into Oz."

Recorded in 2015 during sessions for their 22nd and final studio album, "Bad Magic", the track was one of the last songs the band recorded together before frontman Lemmy Kilmister's passing at his Los Angeles home on December 28, 2015 at the age of 70.

"It's such a great Bowie song, one of his best," says guitarist Phil Campbell, "and I could only see great things coming out of it from us, and so it proved to be, and Lemmy ended up loving our version."

"He was very, very proud of it," adds drummer Mikkey Dee, now a member of the Scorpions, "not only because it turned out so well but because it was fun! Which is what projects like this should be - fun!"

Pete Townshend's acclaimed demos and outtakes collections are being reissued -titled Scoop, Another Scoop, and Scoop 3, respectively. Each of the sets-slated for release on August 18-has been newly remastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios.

Adrienne here from Seven Spires! We just released a brand new song, "Stay", from our coming record, "Solveig". It is a concept album in two acts, set in a sunless underworld ruled by a Demon. "Stay" is the first song of Act II. In the story of the album, the Demon lures poor, lost souls with a siren song to her decadent hell, the Cabaret of Dreams. The protagonist of "Solveig" is one of these lost souls, and the album follows his journey through the Cabaret.

Up until this point in the story, the Demon has been cunning and tempting - a general force of evil. But the protagonist has begun to realise that not all may be as it seems, and perhaps trading his soul with the Demon for eternal bliss may not have been the best idea. It is here in "Stay" that we first glimpse a more human side of the Demon, who displays the faint ability to care.

Musically, "Stay" is fairly straightforward and shows our power metal roots more than most of the songs on the album. It also is the first distinct appearance of my extreme vocals in a lead part with this band! I really love to play with different vocal styles to help better convey emotions and intensity, and having story-based music like this lends itself well to allowing for this sort of vocal approach.

The entire record runs as a whole, and it is my great hope that anyone who listens to it will experience it at least once from top to bottom. There are tonnes of hidden bits woven throughout all of the songs, and I think the more you listen, the more they appear and change the emotional response from the songs.

Of special note is the fact that legendary producer Jack Douglas is already on-board for the sessions, which, according to a press release, will be recorded on analog equipment and tracked in a "state of the art recording facility."

Part of the band's ongoing "From The Vault" series, the package presents the group performing their legendary 1971 album in its entirety - for the first and only time - at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on May 20, 2015.

The rare theater event was a warm-up show just days before the Stones launched their Zip Code tour of North America, and the release of an expanded reissue of the classic 1971 set.

The intimate setting of the 1,200 capacity Fonda Theatre was in contrast to the huge stadiums in which the band would perform for the rest of the tour. "Sticky Fingers: Live At The Fonda Theatre 2015" will be available on DVD, Blu-ray, DVD+CD, DVD+3LP and digital formats.

Fresh from a North American tour with Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, and a pair of shows with The Eagles last month at The Classic West in Los Angeles and The Classic East in New York, the guitarist first joined Colbert to discuss the launch of VetsAid, his new charitable endeavor to help US veterans and their families.

The project is personal to Walsh: his father was a flight instructor for the first US operational jet powered aircraft, the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, and died while stationed on active duty on Okinawa when Joe was just 20 months old.

"They didn't have it then, but now it's called a Gold Star Family, or a Gold Star Kid," explained Walsh. "I always grew up wondering what he would have been like, and I spent a lot of time trying to do something that would make him proud of me.

"I had some buddies in the Vietnam War," he continued, "and they either came back shattered or didn't come back. And I have noticed in my travels and touring that, besides the big national organizations, there are some small county, small town vets organizations that are really in the trenches and really doing wonderful work, and so I have started an organization called VetsAid and I want to help and take it up a notch."

One of the two items is a painting of a skinny body, two poppies and a baby with a broken head. The piece was originally supposed to be used as the art work of Nirvana's 1992 album of B sides, Incesticide. Also on display is the painting used for the cover of the deluxe version of 2015's Montage of Heck: the Home Recordings.

Guttentag will both write and direct the film, which will feature unreleased and rare music from the band. The still-untitled documentary is tentatively scheduled to be released in late 2018.

"I can't wait to hand deliver our story to our fans, Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh told Billboard. "It has been a long-time coming and now there are literally two more generations of fans who never had the opportunity to see us perform, or don't know the whole story. I am excited to work with Bill Guttentag, as I am a big fan of his work as well."

The move wasn't entirely random. Several months ago, Solange revealed in an interview with Teen Vogue that, as a teenager, she dreamed of marrying the rock band's frontman Boyd.

Rick Minns, better known as "Ruddy Muddy," practices the art he calls "graffilthy." He creates art from the mud caked on the back of his white work van. The artist said that his middle child is a Linkin Park fan and they often listen to Bennington's music together.

"I was a bit bored at work one day, with a bit of spare time on my hands and thought it looked like a bit of fun," Minns told BBC News. "I played around with a few things and they sort of developed from there."

"It's been my observation that when governments disregard their citizens for their own greed, the ensuing soundtrack usually kick's ass," says director Scott Stuckey of the video's inspiration.
