Yes, Pearl Jam, ELO Lead Rock Hall Inductees

The new studio project sees Twenty One Pilots recreating some of their songs, including "Heathens," "Heavydirtysoul," "Ride," "Tear In My Heart," and "Lane Boy" live with Mutemath.

Fans can download the newly recorded tracks from the project here and for those that prefer to stream, the tracks are available on Twenty One Pilots' official YouTube channel here.

The group were named Tuesday as the latest honorees alongside Pearl Jam, Yes, Electric Light Orchestra, Joan Baez and Tupac Shakur. "I'm hoping that Steve Perry will get up and do something with us," Schon tells Rolling Stone. "We'll have to see."

The classic Perry lineup of Journey - Schon, Jonathan Cain, Steve Smith, Aynsley Dunbar and Ross Valory - will enter the 2017 Rock Hall alongside founding keyboardist/singer Gregg Rolie.

Journey had their most successful commercial period with Perry, who joined the group in 1977; a string of multi-platinum albums followed before his departure in 1998.

The last time the singer performed with his former band was at a tribute show for legendary concert promoter Bill Graham following his passing in 1991. "We haven't spoken in years, physically," says Schon. "I believe when we got the Hollywood star in L.A. [in 2005], that was the first time I'd seen him in many years. That was the last time I spoke with him. We did communicate a couple of years ago via email. That was going really well. I was just saying hello and hoping he was well, and that's it, just reaching as a friend and letting him know I was there as a friend. It went well and then it just kinda stopped. I've asked to get his number, but nobody will give it up and nobody knows what it is [laughs]. So that's where it's at."

"I'll keep my fingers crossed," continued the guitarist. "We all love Steve. We had a great relationship for so many years. I don't know why there's been an absence of it for so many years besides the fact that we just moved on because we wanted to, we had to. We needed to get out there and keep playing for our fans. I'd think everyone would be grateful at this point because we've done so well."

"I think it would only be right and just," adds Schon about a live reunion at the Rock Hall ceremony. "He's the one that created all the music with us."

Bach reveals in a brand new interview with Vanyland that the managers are no longer discussing the possible reunion. He said, "In recent days, when I said before that the managers 'are talking,' I have to say now that the managers 'were talking' [laughs]. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. It's kind of actually� I don't know really why, but it's taken a turn in the other direction unfortunately.

Despite their strained relationship, Mustaine has since made amends with the band - and performed alongside Metallica at the San Francisco Fillmore in 2011.

Now Hetfield calls his former colleague an "old friend" who went on to carve a successful career in the industry. He tells Bild: "He's an old friend of ours for sure and he has done very well for himself in Megadeth. And after him getting kicked out of Metallica he went on to have an amazing career.

The story turns sadder when it was also revealed that 73 people on the TeamRock staff lost their jobs just days before Christmas and reportedly received zero pay.

Ben Ward started a crownfunding drive to raise some money for the TeamRockers that lost their jobs and their families. Ward started the effort with a goal of raising �20,000 (just under $25,000 U.S.). Ward explained the drive with these comments, "73 members of the Team Rock staff were told that the company is going into liquidation and that they are being made redundant with immediate effect with ZERO pay. These are good, hard-working, committed people that through Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Prog Rock, TeamRock Radio and more, have supported the rock and heavy metal scene in this country for decades and now we, the rock community, need to pull together to help give something back."

We here at antiMusic and the Day in Rock want to personally thank all of the hard working people that we had the pleasure to work with at TeamRock over the past few years, especially our longtime friend and former TeamRock news editor Martin Kielty.

Tate was asked by BlastEcho about a possible reunion if the band were inducted into the Rock Hall and responded, "I suppose so. I suppose it would just� It might be what's needed to get everybody in the same room talking again.

"Something like that would probably be the catalyst for getting the band� at least for one performance. I don't know if it would be enough to get everybody wanting to get back together again. But, you know, I'd be up for it."

The album is set to be released on February 17 under Worsnop's new worldwide deal with Earache Records and the album launch show will be taking place on February 14th at London's Lexington.

The band plan to release the new album early next year and Ingalls had the following to say about the new single, "The song, in my opinion, bridges the gap of where we've been as a group seeing ourselves as a really rockin' band and points towards where we're headed with the recording and writing process; honing in on rhythms and adding more spacial, cosmic arrangements by adding different layers of keyboards and running drum mixes through old moogs.

Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist David Sanchez says that they new album is "faster and way angrier" than their 2013 release "Unnatural Selection". He continues, "'Conformicide' is our most dynamic, heavy, thoughtful, musical, and sonically-crushing album so far.

The track comes their forthcoming album Jethro Tull The String Quartet out on 24th March. Band leader Says Anderson had the following to say about the new track "'Ring Out These Bells was written for the Songs From The Wood album as a reference to the winter solstice pagan festival and the latter day transplanted Christian notional birth of the Biblical Jesus, but then the record company thought that we should release it as a Christmas single.

"After a futile attempt to record a simpler, catchier version, we reverted to the original recording. It was released just too late to make the Top Ten charts in time for Christmas. But it has remained a radio play staple in the radio playlists for Christmas ever since.

The North American dates will be kicking off on March 12th in Washington D.C at the 930 Club and will wrap up on March 18th in Philadelphia at Union Transfer.

The authorized biography of the Bad Brains icon Paul "HR" Hudson, a.k.a. Joseph I., was originally scheduled to be released on January 17th of next year but the publishers will now be releasing the title on December 27th.

The new visual features footage that was captured during the band's recent appearance at Turock Open Air festival in Essen, Germany. Frontman Martin van Drunen had the following to say about the song and the new video, "Candiru is a no-nonsense, non-compromising 3 riff containing fast Asphyx Death Metal track.

"A gory story about a revolting little fish from the Amazon that can nest itself in human genitals to suck blood after it got there via the urine stream. Only removable through amputation, so be careful there were you relieve yourselves folks!

The annual classic rock focused Welsh music festival will be taking place on July 29th and 30th of next year at Hafod-Y-Dafal Farm in Ebbw Vale, Wales.

Promoter Max Rhead had the following to say in the announcement: "For me personally, this is one of the best announcements we've made over the seven year history of the Steelhouse.

"I was a massive Dio fan growing up, and although very sadly Ronnie is no longer with us, Vivian Campbell and Vinnie Appice are keeping these incredible songs alive. 'Holy Diver' on the mountain-top - I can't wait!"

Now, the London Contemporary Orchestra has announced a series of UK-only concerts in 2017 featuring live orchestral performances of Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood, alongside screenings of the film. And the kicker? Greenwood will perform with the orchestra on the Ondes Martenot, the vintage electronic instrument that he's become known for.

In a nutshell, this song is about getting taken advantage of by the people you've helped out the most in your life, and then being the one to bail them out when they completely blow it.

Although this song isn't necessarily about just one person, I started writing it because I was feeling ultra used and abused by a former bandmate of mine. After a couple years of touring when it became clear that I wasn't going to be treated as an equal it was the beginning of the end.

When people get "wrapped up in one," they "don't see clearly," and may never realize that without the efforts of others they would be nothing. As the band got more successful, the inequity only became more pronounced, and ultimately ended up disintegrating it.

To top it all off, there was a false front when asked how we operate. I can't think of a bigger blow to the integrity of an organization than standing behind the lies of your leader.

The cool thing the song is it started to relate to many other things happening in all sorts of organizations and relationships. All the cover-ups, rumoring, and generic responses happening in politics, corporate, and pop culture all relates to wanting to save face to please the masses.
