U2 Frontman Bono Reveals Near Fatal Health Scare

(Radio.com) U2 frontman Bono has revealed that he was very nearly another rock star casualty of 2017. The shocking revelation was made during an extensive new interview with Rolling Stone, with the charismatic singer keeping the specifics of his heath scare relatively private.

"People have these extinction events in their lives; it could be psychological or it could be physical. And, yes, it was physical for me, but I think I have spared myself all that soap opera," Bono said. "Especially with this kind of celebrity obsession with the minutiae of peoples' lives--I have got out of that. I want to speak about the issue in a way that lets people fill in the blanks of what they have been through, you know?"

"It's one thing if you were talking about it in a place of record like Rolling Stone, but by the time it gets to your local tabloid it is just awful. It becomes the question that everyone is asking," the U2 star explained.

Bono went on to put his situation into context, particularly for those of lesser means who've had similar experiences. "People have had so much worse to deal with, so that is another reason not to talk about it," he opined. "You demean all the people who, you know, never made it through that or couldn't get health care!" Read more here.

Ace Frehley Rocks The NHL Winter Classic

(hennemusic) Ace Frehley performed his 1978 hit, "New York Groove", during the pre-game festivities at the 2018 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic on New Year's Day, and video of the event has surfaced online.

The track from Frehley's KISS-era solo album is played at Citi Field following every home win by the New York Mets, and was chosen by the New York Rangers for the guitarist's appearance as they hosted the Buffalo Sabres at the stadium for the 10th anniversary edition of the annual NHL event.

"It's gonna be harder for me because I don't run around as much as the players do," Frehley told the NHL Network before the game, "but I'm going to be wearing surgical gloves with cut-off leather gloves, so that's gonna help protect my fingers, which is really the most thing I'm going to worry about, I'm going to be running on adrenaline."

Viewers were only able to see a small part of Frehley's performance during the NBC broadcast as the rocker and his band were on stage while the players from both teams were shown entering the stadium. Check out video here.

Korn's Jonathan Davis Releasing His First Solo Album

(Gibson) After more than two decades and twelve albums fronting the nu-metal pioneers Korn, frontman Jonathan Davis is set to go completely solo this year.

While Davis has previously stepped away from Korn to participate in other projects - notably J.D.S.F.A (Jonathan Davis and the Simply F****** Amazings with guitarist Shane Gibson), his EDM avatars Killbot and JDevil, he's never released a solo project under his own name.

That's set to change, according to a video Davis posted online earlier this week. In the video, he confirms that, "Korn is gonna be off for a while and I'm gonna be working on my solo stuff next year." Davis continued, "I'm really excited. I've been working on these songs for 10 years and it's turned out amazing. So there'll be a record coming out next year. I just shot videos yesterday for a couple of songs, and the tour will be next year, and some of the dates have gone up, so you know."

Davis has a number of summer festival appearances already scheduled. He also clarified that the new album is material comprised of what would have been "the J.D. S.F.A. record, but J.D. S.F.A. is no longer [guitarist Shane Gibson passed away in 2014]. Unfortunately, since Shane's passed, that band's done and it can't be recreated. So this is J.D. right now." here.

Ratt Reveal Plans To Launch 2018 Tour

(Gibson) Ratt are planning to hit the road sometime in 2018. Although no specific details were provided in the Facebook post announcing the news, it's widely assumed the lineup will feature classic-era members Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini, and Juan Croucier.

The three reunited back in October 2016 and have since played several shows, with former Quiet Riot guitarist Carlos Cavazo and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso rounding out the band.

Earlier this year, Pearcy revealed that Ratt was working on material for a possible follow-up to the band's 2010 album, Infestation. "Warren and I already demoing up some Ratt music for, you know, what's going on this year," he said. "� Who knows? Maybe we'll try to get a record started for Ratt. It's been, like, what, six years ... or something, seven years, since Infestation? ... I don't know how long it's been. It took 10 years to do that. But that''s a whole other animal in itself."

Sammy Hagar Changes His Tune About Van Halen Reunion 2017 In Review

(hennemusic) Sammy Hagar Changes His Tune About Van Halen Reunion was a top 17 story of November 2017: Just four months after saying he believed a reunion tour with Van Halen was "inevitable", Sammy Hagar now claims he's given up on the idea because his former bandmates failed to wish him a happy birthday this year as he recently reached the milestone of 70.

"People say, 'What's going on with Van Halen?' Okay, absolutely nothing," Hager told host Eddie Trunk during an appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation" (audio below). "I have no idea. I haven't heard from the guys. To me, they made a real strong statement by not wishing me a happy birthday for my seventieth, especially amongst the fact that so many people have died. I mean, a week before that Tom Petty died. Tom Petty's birthday was the next Thursday after mine, and he was still a young man, as far as I'm concerned.

"With all them people dying, if somebody turns seventy, that's a monumental thing," the Red Rocker continued. "It's, like, you would think if they ever wanted to be friends, it would be so easy. And even if they didn't wanna be friends, it's just something that would be the right thing to do."

Hagar has not had any real contact with his former group since a 2004 reunion tour ended poorly, outside of a Happy Birthday tweet from Eddie Van Halen in 2016.

The singer's on-again/off-again interest in, and passive-aggressive attempts to, rejoin the group has sent mixed messages to both the band and fans ever since his original departure in 1996, but things appeared to be settled somewhat last year when Hagar delivered what is believed to be his first ever public apology to Van Halen after two decades of bashing them in media interviews.

AC/DC Guitarist and Cofounder Malcolm Young Dead At 2017 In Review

(hennemusic) AC/DC Guitarist and Cofounder Malcolm Young Dead At 64 was a top 17 story of November 2017: AC/DC cofounder Malcolm Young has died at the age of 64 following a long battle with dementia. The guitarist retired from the band in 2014 before entering a full-time health care facility in Sydney, Australia that specialized in patients with dementia.

"Today it is with deep heartfelt sadness that AC/DC has to announce the passing of Malcolm Young," said the band in a statement "Malcolm, along with Angus, was the founder and creator of AC/DC. With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band. As a guitarist, songwriter and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man. He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted. He took great pride in all that he endeavored. His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed."

"As his brother," adds Angus, "it is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special. He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever. Malcolm, job well done."

"It is with deepest sorrow that we inform you of the death of Malcolm Young, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother," said the Young family in a statement. "Malcolm had been suffering from Dementia for several years and passed away peacefully with his family by his bedside."

"Renowned for his musical prowess, Malcolm was a songwriter, guitarist, performer, producer and visionary who inspired many. From the outset, he knew what he wanted to achieve and, along with his younger brother, took to the world stage giving their all at every show. Nothing less would do for their fans.

"Malcolm is survived by his loving wife O'Linda, children Cara and Ross, son-in-law Josh, three grandchildren, sister and brother."

"While thanking all for their overwhelming support and heartfelt condolences, the family ask that you respect their privacy during this time of heartbreak and grief," they add. "For those wishing to send messages to the family please visit the Sydney Morning Herald Malcolm Young Memorial website which will be available next week. The family have asked instead of flowers to send donations to The Salvation Army."

Malcolm Young was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1953, as one in a family of eight children. Most of Young clan emigrated to Australia in 1963, with older brother George forming The Easybeats in Sydney a year later and going on to score a 1966 No. 1 hit in the members' adopted homeland with "Friday On My Mind."

Stone Temple Pilots Reveal New Singer And Stream New Song 2017 In Review

(hennemusic) Stone Temple Pilots Reveal New Singer And Stream New Song was a top 17 story of November 2017: The Stone Temple Pilots are streaming the single, "Meadow", featuring new singer Jeff Gutt, following his live debut with the group at an exclusive November 14 show at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA.

A veteran of the Detroit music scene, Gutt (pronounced goot) has spent the last year writing and recording with founding members Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz.

Available now via digital and streaming services, "Meadow" will appear on the band's as-yet-untitled album, which will be released next spring in conjunction with a North American tour.

The special invitation-only concert for SiriusXM listeners at The Troubadour - which featured the live debut of "Meadow" - marked the beginning of a new journey for the band, one that began last year when they launched a worldwide search for a new singer with whom to write, record, and tour.

"We wanted someone who would not only do our earlier songs justice, but would also write new songs and carve out a different path forward with us," says Dean. "It took some time, but we found our guy."

Before choosing Gutt, the trio received and reviewed about 15,000 submissions online before selecting more than 30 singers to audition in person with the group at Studio 606 in Los Angeles. Gutt sang with the band on the last day of auditions. Ironically, he was the only one who hadn't submitted music online. Instead, he was invited after Robert DeLeo heard about Gutt after the bassist had played a show in Detroit with the Hollywood Vampires.

"Talk about a happy accident," explains Robert. "It was clear right away that Jeff had the range to sing vocally challenging songs like 'Piece Of Pie' and 'Interstate Love Song'. But we soon discovered that he also has a great ear for melody and knew how to write a song."

In September 2016, the four of them started working together and spent the next several months finishing off song ideas and writing new music.

"The chemistry was there from the start, and Jeff kept coming up with one great melody after another," raves Kretz. "We ended up finishing 14 songs, which is the most that Stone Temple Pilots has ever recorded for an album." Stream the new song here.

Brand New Cancel Tour Following Sexual Assault Allegations 2017 In Review

Brand New Cancel Tour Following Sexual Assault Allegations was a top 17 story of November 2017: (Radio.com) Brand New have announced that they have postponed their UK and Ireland Tour dates following sexual assault allegations that were made against lead singer Jesse Lacey.

"Due to the events of the last few days, Brand New will be postponing it's upcoming three shows in the United Kingdom and Ireland," they wrote. "Ticket refunds will be accepted at the original point of purchase."

The tour cancellation comes after a woman alleged that Lacey "solicited nudes from me starting when I was 15 and he was 24." In a since-deleted Facebook post, the woman added that Lacey "manipulated the hell out of me, demanded specific poses/settings/clothing, demeaned me, and made it clear that my sexuality was the only thing I had to offer. He knew what he was doing was s-- so he wouldn't touch me until I was 19. I should've known better by then, but he had screwed me up so much psychologically that all I wanted was his approval."

Lacey has since shared a lengthy apology on Facebook. "I do not stand in defense of myself nor do I forgive myself. I was selfish, narcissistic, and insensitive in my past, and there are a number of people who have had to shoulder the burden of my failures," he wrote. "I apologize for the hurt I have caused, and hope to be able to take the correct actions to earn forgiveness and trust." Read more including Lacey's complete statement below: Read more here.

KISS' Paul Stanley Slams Marilyn Manson For Charles Manson Cover 2017 In Review

KISS' Paul Stanley Slams Marilyn Manson For Charles Manson Cover was a top 17 story of November 2017: (Radio.com) As the world continues to react to the death of cult leader and mass murderer Charles Manson, rock artists are responding to the news in myriad ways. For shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, it was through sharing a previously recorded cover version of Manson's 1970 song, "Sick City," on social media.

That was a move not at all appreciated by KISS frontman Paul Stanley, who slammed Manson for posting the cover upon the cult leader's death. "[It's] pathetic when somebody [whose] career never really took off is desperate enough to try for publicity by connecting himself to the news of a murdering scumbag's death," Stanley raged on Twitter.

Marilyn Manson has yet to respond to Stanley's comments, but don't be surprised if this beef explodes into a war of words between the two. Stay tuned. Read more here.

Black Sabbath Legend Turned Down Eminem Collaboration Request 2017 In Review

(Gibson) Black Sabbath Legend Turned Down Eminem Collaboration was a top 17 story of November 2017: Tony Iommi recently made a startling revelation, telling the Musicians Institute that rapper Eminem made a strong pitch to contribute to the veteran guitarist's first solo album.

As reported by Loudwire, Eminem was on the verge of breakout success when he contacted Iommi nearly two decades ago. Unfamiliar with the rapper's work, however, the Black Sabbath guitarist declined the request and the collaboration never came to fruition.
Longtime Iommi fans are probably less surprised than others about Eminem's "near miss." Released in 200, the Iommi album featured a slew of musical guests - including Henry Rollins, Billy Corgan, Brian May, Serj Tankian, and Dave Grohl, among others. Read more

Robert Plant Finds Some Led Zeppelin Vocals 'Horrific' 2017 In Review

Robert Plant Finds Some Led Zeppelin Vocals 'Horrific' was a top 17 story of November 2017: (Radio.com) While fans continue to cling to fading hopes that Led Zeppelin will reunite, singer Robert Plant has revealed that he can't stand to hear his own voice on some of those classic recordings.

The revelation came during an interview with The Guardian, with Plant talking about taking a new direction while recording Led Zeppelin's third album, III.

"I realized that tough, manly approach to singing I'd begun on 'You Better Run' (a 1996 cover of the Young Rascals' song by Plant's former band Listen) wasn't really what it was all about at all. Songs like [Led Zeppelin I's] 'Babe I'm Going To Leave You' ' I find my vocals on there horrific now. I really should have shut the f- up!" Read more here.

He is also a smokin' guitar player that needs to be heard."

"Ayron is such a special and badass new Seattle artist," added Duff McKagan. "I went to a show of his last year in Seattle, and it was one of those that just simply made me realize how glad I am that I chose music as a path.

Bon Scott Allegedly Planned To Leave AC/DC Before His Death 2017 In Review

(Gibson) Bon Scott Allegedly Planned To Leave AC/DC Before His Death was a top 17 story of November 2017: It's been almost four decades since original AC/DC frontman Bon Scott passed away. He made six albums with the Australian hard rockers, but just as the band was set to make their international breakthrough, Scott died in London in 1980. His replacement, Geordie vocalist Brian Johnson would step in and help continue AC/DC's upward trajectory that saw them become one of the world's biggest bands and a live tour de force over the next few decades.

Now, a new book suggests that Scott was in fact planning on quitting AC/DC before his untimely death. In the book Bon: The Last Highway, the author Jesse Fink recounts an interview with Roy Allen, a friend of Scott's from Texas, who received a call from the AC/DC frontman in late 1979, at the end of the band's Highway To Hell tour.

According to Allen, the singer called him suggesting he was tired of the hard rock life, saying, "Roy, I want to come to Texas. I'm coming into a good bit of money soon. I've had it: the living on the road, the shows, the drinking. I'm ready to leave the band. I've got to get out. It's all killin' me and I know it. I want to know if I came to Texas, I could stay with you. We could try quit drinking together."

Allen didn't make much of it at the time, not knowing that it would be the last conversation he'd have with Scott. Read more here.

Linkin Park's Record Label Doubted 'Hybrid Theory' 2017 In Review

(Gibson) Linkin Park's Record Label Doubted 'Hybrid Theory' was a top 17 story of November 2017: In a recent interview to Kerrang!, Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda spoke at length about his late bandmate Chester Bennington, recalling incidents and stories from throughout the band's two decade-old career.

In one story to illustrate Bennington's loyalty to his bandmates, Shinoda recounts how their label wasn't totally convinced that the debut album Linkin Park was recording at the time would do well.

As he tells it, "When we were recording [2000's] 'Hybrid Theory,' we were basically a new band with a new record deal. The label could have shelved us at any moment, and we were halfway through recording when our A&R started losing faith in us. He took Chester aside and suggested he take the band over, or put me on keyboards, or even kick me out. He told him, 'You're the talent, you should make a rock record. You don't need the rapping, you don't need the rest of the guys...' Chester finished the conversation and came in to tell us. 'So what did you say to him?' I said."

According to Shinoda, Bennington replied, "'I told him to go f*** himself". It's worth noting, that the eventual album would go on sell over 30 million copies. Read more here.

A Perfect Circle Eject Over 60 Fans From Concert 2017 In Review

A Perfect Circle Eject Over 60 Fans From Concert was a top 17 story of November 2017: (Radio.com) Maynard James Keenan and his band, A Perfect Circle, took their "no photos" policy to an extreme by ejecting more than 60 fans from a recent show.

A Perfect Circle was performing at the SMG Managed Santander Arena & Santander Performing Arts Center in Reading, PA, on Nov. 4, where general manager David Farrar presided over the ejections at the band's direction.

Farrar made the shocking reveal on Instagram, commenting on a photo from the show taking by a fan who presumably was able to do so without being seen by security. 'Your [sic] good. We tossed over 60 people last night for taking pics," Farrar said in a now-deleted comment that was screen-capped by Metal Sucks.

Farrar went on to explain in a separate comment: "talk to Manyard.. this was 110% the bands policy and has been for TOOL, APC, and Pusicifer.. it's not a new policy."

"Someone in front of me was told to put their phone away and they were just looking at it," shared fan Nikki Woll who was at the show. "That's a little much. Not to mention security's flashlights were much more distracting than a phone."

Keenan addressed the no-photos policy in the comments section of a separate Instagram post after being challenged on it by a fan in a screenshot captured by Consequence of Sound: "No. Recording. Of. Any. Kind. For. 25. Years. Guided experience. Unplug and enjoy the ride."

It should be noted that the policy has been clearly communicated in venues on the tour. Check out a screenshot from one fan here.
