Frey, who passed away in January of 2016, carved out a notable solo career during their hiatus in the '80s and beyond. Frey scored chart success with such hits as "The Heat Is On," "You Belong To The City," "The One You Love," "Smuggler's Blues," and "I Found Somebody", among others.
The 3CD/DVD "Above The Clouds" compiles the key elements of Frey's music both before and after The Eagles became international superstars, showcasing the broad range and wide influence of the Detroit-bred singer-songwriter in the process.
Subtitled "The Very Best Of Glenn Frey", the project's first disc presents the guitarist's major chart hits, and will be available as a stand-alone disc as well as part of the box set.
Disc two goes deeper into Frey's catalog with tunes like "After Hours," "For Sentimental Reasons," and covers of The Beach Boys' "Caroline, No" and the rhythm and blues standard "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66."
The third disc presents the early output of the duo formed by longtime friends Frey and JD Souther known as Longbranch/Pennywhistle. Originally released in 1969, the self-titled record offers the duo's country rock/folk set.
"Above The Clouds" is rounded out with a live DVD filmed at the National Stadium in Dublin, Ireland in July 1992 on Frey's 'Strange Weather' tour; the set mixes solo tracks with Eagles classics. Read more and watch the promo video

"We're in the process of finishing that right now and that should be out before the shows take place," Reznor told the BBC. "It's not what we expected it to be."
The still-untitled EP will be the last installment in a trilogy that started with 2016's Not The Actual Events and continued with 2017's Add Violence. Reznor said the final EP won't adhere to the band's original vision for the series because those initial ideas were "too predictable."
"We started out with a pretty rigid concept of what the three EPs were gonna be, having not written them all but having a kind of blueprint for the trajectory and the sound," Reznor said. 'It felt like we were forcing things, musically and storytelling-wise and the whole trajectory. The reason this has been a little bit delayed is' it took us a while for what has become the third EP to reveal itself to us." Read more

The veteran band's eighteenth studio album also marks only their second appearance ever in the UK Top 10 and first since 1980's "British Steel" peaked at No. 4.
"Firepower" was co-produced by Tom Allom and Andy Sneap - a UK rocker known for his guitar work with Sabbat and Hell who is now touring with the band in place of Glenn Tipton following news of his battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Sneap made his live debut with Judas Priest on March 13 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA when they launched their 2018 world tour - watch videos of opening night here.
"I want everyone to know that it's vital that the Judas Priest tour go ahead and that I am not leaving the band - it's simply that my role has changed," explains Tipton. "I don't rule out the chance to go on stage as and when I feel able to blast out some Priest! So at some point in the not too distant future I'm really looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful metal maniacs once again"

"It's probably one of my favorite songs of all time," explains the singer. "This was a song I remember hearing when we were leaving Boston on our way to Wisconsin. I remember being in the back of our red Volkswagen station wagon, hearing this song, hearing 'Philadelphia Freedom'�Elton John was a big one, early on, for me as a kid. I remember being drawn to his music."
The lead single from John's fourth album, "Madman Across The Water", reached No. 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 while the project peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to sales of more than 2 million in the country.

Farrell revealed his plans for Kind Heaven this week (March 15) with a press conference about the project that's categorized as "a complete playground for the senses, featuring multiple musical stages, 40 food stations, bars and much, much more" (via Forbes). The idea is to update the live music experience into "immersive theater."
"What we're doing, in all honesty, to simplify it, is we're creating a new scene. And scenes, as we know, always are built around music," Farrell explained about the Kind Heaven concept.
"Youth counterculture goes out to experience nightlife, listen to music, dance, socialize and in the last 50 years, since I've been alive, it's gone from rock and roll to hair metal to metal to alternative or punk rock, disco, EDM and now bottle service and now what cause I'm not going out of my house now," he added. "I don't want to go and pay $2,000 for a bottle of vodka. It's not interesting. But if you told me, 'Come out, you can walk around and you have a chance to experience for the course of two hours, or two days if you want, every square inch of that building is thought with kindness, excitement in mind.' So there's never a moment that doesn't fill your ears or your eyes or your palate. We have 40 stations to grab street food. All these spots will be sprinkled over the five stories, chance for teas, drinks, food, alcohol." Read more

While Young promotes his new film Paradox (directed by his girlfriend Daryl Hannah) at SXSW in Austin, he revealed that he's working on another book--and this time, it's a sci-fi novel.
He treated fans to a brief synopsis of the work, titled Canary. According to the "Unknown Legend" singer, the story follows "a guy who gets busted for a crime." The protagonist uncovers corruption at the power company where he works and sabotages their plot.
"He discovers the solar company he works for is a hoax," Young said. "And they're not really using solar. They're using this s�t � the guy who's doing this has come up with a way to make bad fuel, the bad energy, this really ugly terrible stuff, and he's figured out a way to genetically create these animals that s�t, that gives the energy to make the [fuel]. So he's created this new species. But the species escapes. So it's a f�in' mess. It's a long story. So it's a novel." Read more
