Guns N' Roses Stars Lead Guest Lineup On Currie's Album

The collection, which arrives on September 16 (Friday), includes the BBC Sessions material released in 1997, plus nine previously-unheard recordings from 1969 to 1971.

Guitarist Jimmy Page has recalled how iconic DJ John Peel helped the band make an impact in their home country, telling Rolling Stone: "Peel was great - he obviously did champion us. He could understand the musicianship, the way it was put together and how ambitious we were.

"Because we spent so much time in the States in the beginning, we weren't able to do so much in England. It was slower catching up. We didn't have radio here, like what was called 'underground radio' over there."

He says of the sessions album: "Considering that we only had these limited opportunities for exposure over here in Britain, it's just the fact that we were totally fearless.

He won't make the decision until next year, but his current condition means he certainly won't take part in the band's final full-electric European tour, which starts next month.

Parfitt collapsed after a concert in Turkey in June, and the incident was later described as an "extremely life-threatening situation." Manager Simon Porter says in a statement: "Although Rick is recovering well and is now able to lead a relatively normal day-to-day life, he's far from being fit enough to undertake the rigors of Quo's touring schedule.

"Perhaps now is the time to reveal that Rick 'died' for several minutes, which resulted in mild cognitive impairments, for which he continues to receive neuro-psychological support.

Due September 27 via Simon & Schuster, "Born To Run" sees the singer recount growing up in Freehold, NJ, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band.

"I wanted to use the classic rock and roll images - the road, the car, the girl - what else is there?" Springsteen explains. "To make these images matter I'd have to shape them into something fresh, something that transcended nostalgia, sentiment and familiarity."

The singer discusses growing up in the Vietnam War era and the changing American political landscape.

"These were issues that had previously been relegated to the margins of American life," reads Springsteen. "Dread, the sense that things might not work out, that the moral high ground had been swept out from underneath us, that the dream of ourselves had somehow been tainted and the future would forever be uninsured was in the air.

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich says: "I just think this book goes to a different depth, to a different level of detail and a different level of anecdotes and storytelling. It's the right project, at the right time, by the right person."

The band launched a Pledge Music campaign for the new effort which they are aiming to release next spring. Frontman Ryan Clark had the following to say, "The time has come. After the longest wait between Demon Hunter records ever, we are proud to announce our brand new studio album, Outlive.

"The last 3 years have been an absolute whirlwind. We've welcomed 5 (!) children into the Demon Hunter family, endured heartbreaking trials, and experienced joy beyond comprehension. Outlive is a culmination of these peaks and valleys. It is a journey through adversity, survival, and overcoming the odds. They say the best stories are told by those who have lived a life worth commenting on, and we believe that our stories will resonate with each of you in some way.

In an interview in an upcoming episode of Metal Hammer: In Residence on Spotify, McCall reflects on the "nice guy" who didn't compromise on his music he created, and says Searle left behind a "powerful" legacy.

McCall says: "He was a really good soul - a fantastic person. We'd known Tom for 10 years - Architects were the first band we played with in London. He was always the cheeky, dry-witted, kind, nice guy that always had time for a chat, always found a joke in something and didn't compromise in what he created.

Then, last month, the guitarist congratulated the singer on the release of Bon Jovi's new single This House Is Not For Sale, which in turn drew a warm response from Bon Jovi.

And the vocalist says he harbors no grudge against his former bandmate. He tells ET Canada: "It's evident that he has moved on in his life. One day he woke up and decided he didn't want to be in the band anymore.

And McCready - who is also a member of Pearl Jam - says he'd do whatever it takes to help the band put out a follow-up to their 1991 self-titled debut.

Temple Of The Dog was formed by Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell and Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, McCready and Eddie Vedder. They won control over their 1991 master tapes last year following a drawn-out legal battle.

On whether Temple Of The Dog plan to write new songs, McCready tells Classic Rock: "I really hope so, I'd love to. I'm there. If anybody wants to start writing for Temple Of The Dog, I will be there to play guitar if they want me.

"I heard the song 'Psycho' for the first time almost 30 years ago when I was playing guitar in New Model Army" explains Warwick, "It was performed by singer/songwriter Rev Hammer who was on the road with us. I fell in love with the song instantly and it has stayed in my psyche ever since. I found out sometime later that it was written by Texas songwriter Leon Payne. Payne is probably most well known for the song "Lost Highway" which was a huge hit for Hank Williams."

"The twisted macabre excess and understatement of the lyrics set against the beautiful, haunting almost sugar sweet melody drew me in straight away," he adds, "and gave me a strange yet surreal sense of unease. There is no doubt about it, it's a dark song about a dark day. Leon Payne famously said after he wrote it, "Don't ever record this!" Well� I did."

Korn previously released a video of them performing the track at Chicago Open Air, as well as an official promo video starring Sons Of Anarchy star Tommy Flanagan. The video was shot in a century-old former brothel in downtown Los Angeles.

The event will take place on Friday, November 4, 2016 at the Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, California. The event will include a celebrity bowling tournament, a raffle drawing and a special live auction. The inaugural Dio Cancer Fund Bowling Party, held in May 2015 as part of the commemoration of the 5th anniversary of the passing of rock legend Ronnie James Dio, contributed to raising $155,000 for the cancer charity from that weekend's events.

Bowl 4 Ronnie participants can anticipate an evening of fun, food, and, of course, bowling with rockers and celebrities competing for trophies in the name of raising funds and awareness for the Dio Cancer Fund. Among the raffle prizes will be a specially-designed bowling ball featuring the BOWL 4 RONNIE artwork .

The mid-Eighties was a most difficult time for the titans of rock's Second Generation. It was the only time in the last half century when every one of the British superstar bands which had dominated the Seventies, i.e. the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Who, were no longer recording, touring, and in some cases even speaking together. Rock'n'Roll was officially in full-blown midlife crisis, and even the biggest names such as Pete Townshend and David Gilmour were cast adrift from the structure of their respective former bands to deal with it individually for the first time.

The 1978 death of Who drummer Keith Moon, the horrific 1979 tragedy at a Cincinnati Who concert where eleven fans were trampled to death, and the subsequent official breakup of The Who following a huge farewell tour in 1982 left Pete in uncharted emotional territory. These events forced Townshend to address his well-being the best way he knew how, through his music. A series of solo albums in the early '80s would give way to limited select concerts in the UK and France fronting an all-star band dubbed the Deep End featuring another suddenly solo superstar, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.

Pete Townshend makes this surprising confession to InTheStudio host Redbeard about his state of mind, emotionally and musically, as he transitioned from The Who to a solo career.

Helping Metal Hammer magazine celebrate its 30th anniversary, the bassist says metal is in a good place and Maiden are in better shape than ever before. Recalling the band's early days, their 1990s slump and their stunning return to the peak of their metal powers, Harris says: "Well done to anyone who's lasted this long, whether it's Metal Hammer of Iron Maiden or whoever!

"Personally I'm enjoying it more than ever, I'd say. We all are. Ultimately, at this point you know you've had most of your career and there's less ahead than there is behind you, but we'll definitely make more albums and we're having a great time. This is still the best job in the world."

In an interview with pro wrestler and Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho's Talk Is Jericho podcast, Danzig says: "I wanted to be a wrestler. But I didn't think I was big enough. Then I met some wrestlers and I'm like, 'I could've been a wrestler.' But it all worked out pretty good in the end.

"In high school I used to wrestle and then I saw my friend's arm snap when he fell in a wrong hold. He had metal pins in three spots and I was like, 'I think I'm gonna go back to my band.'

I played in this golf tournament two days ago for the veterans, Army, Navy and Air force veterans and a lot of the crowd were in their 80's or 90's and so on, but they invited me to play and sing, and what amazed me was that there was a lot of vets who were in their 50's that talked to me about Triumph. They knew dates and they knew album titles and so on and so forth. It was absolutely amazing.

Something that dawned on me is that we've had so many of our songs with titles like 'Never Surrender' and 'Allied Forces', things like that. I think that some of the military guys gravitated to our music a little more than some other bands because of that.

It was interesting talking to so many of them, I couldn't believe how many of them came up to me and they were completely familiar with the band. It dawned on me looking back on our Royalty statements� you know they have this way of discounting your royalties: it's sold to a record club or to the military of the United States, and I was always blown-away at how much product we shipped to the military.

Lead singer Alan Nimmo says: "We are excited about King King Live because it's the first time we've ever released a live album. It's a great testament to how our audiences drive us on to perform to the best of our abilities.

Reef guitarist Kenwyn House teamed up with Leah Rasmussen, Geoff Laurens and Chris Hardwick for Goldray's debut mini-album which was released in 2014.

They've been working on what will be their debut studio album with producer Pedro Ferreira. The band are eyeing a spring 2017 release, with Soulchild the first taste of the band's new material.

pg.lost are gearing up for the launch of their latest album Versus, which can be streamed exclusively with TeamRock below. It's due to launch on September 16 - and the Swedish outfit say the tour will be a landmark for them.

The band say in a statement: "With a few albums, in hindsight we can proudly say that we've achieved something special with Versus and maybe for the first time in 10 years we've created an album that sonically sounds the way we wanted it to.

They say in a statement: "Ulver are a fresh triumph of modern music, music that catches your heart and captures your soul. Ulver create music that cult festival Be Prog! My Friend must bring to Barcelona in its fourth edition in 2017."
