Dave Grohl Reveals His Possible Next Career Move

Ahead of the tour, Plant will release his eleventh album, "Carry Fire", on October 13. The rocker produced and recorded the follow-up to 2014's "lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar" with the Sensational Space Shifters; the project features appearances by Albanian cellist Redi Hasa, renowned viola and fiddle player Seth Lakeman, and Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde.

"It's about intention, I respect and relish my past works but each time I feel the lure and incentive to create new work. I must mix old with new," explains Plant. "Consequently the whole impetus of the band has moved on its axis somewhat, the new sound and different space giving way to exciting and dramatic landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation."

The band's breakthrough 1986 effort will be the next record in the band's catalog to receive the deluxe box set treatment, following last year's reissue of 1983's "Kill 'Em All" and 1984's "Ride The Lightning."

Lars revealed the plans in an interview with Voir (via Classic Rock): "It's next. We'll try to get it out by the end of the year - it's coming. We are working on it. "There are so many things associated with Master Of Puppets - it is an immense project.

"My son [Draven] & I have not had an opportunity to speak not even at his funeral (that only represented his life that he was married to his new wife)," she wrote. "It was a disgusting delusional display on all people who spoke at the funeral & their characters."

The tune follows the lead single, "My Only True Friend", from the project, which delivers a collection of songs written by Allman's friends and favourite artists, including Jackson Browne, Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter, Lowell George and Spooner Oldham & Dan Penn.

Allman, who passed away on May 27 from complications of liver cancer at the age of 69, was well aware that his time was short as he worked on the record with his touring group of musicians.

"Gregg was very excited to be in the studio," says friend and collaborator Michael Lehman. "He was especially thrilled to be recording this studio album with his solo band - he was so proud of them and loved the sound that they produced together. Gregg felt close to every single one of them.

I wrote "Picture My Reaction" several years ago. I don't recall the details, but it probably came to me the way most of my songs do--strumming an unplugged 1973 Gibson SG Special while sitting on my bed. I'm sure I came up with the opening riff first and then started singing random phrases until something stuck. "Picture my reaction" was the one that stuck. That was the easy part. The hard part was figuring out how to build a song around that phrase.

Ultimately, "Picture My Reaction" became a song about that intoxicating, electric rush you feel when you're around someone special, early on in a relationship. I almost never write love songs, so it's an unusual topic for The Persian Leaps. But the song is more about the chemical reaction rather than the sentimental, emotional aspects of love.

The song is unusual (although not so unusual for us) because it doesn't have a chorus--just verses separated by a riff. I have an unwritten rule about not using instruments other than guitar, bass, and drums, but I was very tempted to add a wall of horns during the riff section. It would have been perfect... for some other band.

"Now we bid adieu to our third psalm," says the group, "the party is over." "Meliora" delivered Ghost their first-ever US Top 10 when the project debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 8.

The band won their first Grammy Award in the Best Metal performance category for the set's lead single, "Cirice", and a Swedish Grammis Award in the "Best Hard Rock/Metal Album" of the year category.

"Our last record, we were happy about it, but it just didn't feel as complete and as focused as this record feels," Singer Brandon Flowers said in an interview with Zane Lowe.

"I'm really excited for the day for it to come out," Flowers told Lowe. "I feel like I forced (the Killers' most recent album) Battle Born to emerge, and this record, it was more natural and it just feels right."

The Motorhead version of the track from Metallica's debut album, "Kill 'Em All", originally appeared on the 2004 compilation, "Metallic Attack: The Ultimate Tribute," which featured a variety of acts paying tribute to the thrash metal pioneers.

"We love Metallica and they love us," says drummer Mikkey Dee, "and this is one of the songs we liked a lot and covered it back then. The snare, the riffs - all that fit in with Motorhead."

The group's cover won Motorhead a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2005, which Dee describes as "total irony. It's okay, but it would have meant more if was one of our own songs."

"Under Cover" sees Motorhead deliver versions of tunes originally recorded by The Ramones, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, Ted Nugent, The Rolling Stones, Dio and Twisted Sister.

"Since my husband's tragic passing, fans from all over the world have come together to share their feelings about what Chris and his music meant to them, leaving thousands of messages of love while visiting him at Hollywood Forever and online," she wrote on Twitter.

Included in the collection, alongside hits and well-known material, are live performances, rarities, and previously unreleased tracks. Disc Five gathers together a slew of Hooker's collaborations with other artists, among them Eric Clapton, B.B. King, and George Thorogood.

Colors is also available for pre-order at Beck.com in a limited edition deluxe vinyl format featuring two 180g 45rpm red vinyl LPs in a special die-cut gatefold package, with a customizable color transparency cover and 24-page booklet.

"The times lend itself for LOCKN' to be coming this weekend," said event founder Peter Shapiro. "A lot of people are like, 'Oh man, you're the next big event in Charlottesville, aren't you nervous, scared?' No, this is why we do what we do." He added that the concert will bring positivity "to a place that needs to lift the energy."
