A fan posted a photo on ACDCfans.net of himself with Angus and Stevie taken at the Take Five Cafe in Vancouver on April 30. It is presumed that Stevie is on hand to fill in on rhythm guitar while Malcolm is taking a break from the band due to his ill health.
Stevie previously replaced Malcolm on AC/DC's 1988 Blow Up Your Video tour, playing dates across North America while his uncle took a break to deal with his alcohol dependency issues. Legend has it that many fans failed to notice the lineup change due to the family resemblance.

In the decades since Led Zeppelin called it a day, they've rarely opened up their vaults to release non-album material. There's been a live album (2003′s How The West Was Won), a collection of BBC recordings (1997′s BBC Sessions), a compilation of outtakes (1982′s Coda) and the document of their one reunion concert (2012′s Celebration Day).
That's one of the reasons that the recent announcement that Zep would be reissuing their entire catalog with bonus tracks was such a big deal. The other: the original tapes were remastered by Jimmy Page himself.
The first three albums - 1969′s Led Zeppelin, 1969′s Led Zeppelin II and 1970′s Led Zeppelin III - will be re-released on June 3. Each will come in several different formats, but the deluxe and super deluxe editions will contain a second disc of extras. And we're pretty excited to say that you can preview one of those extras right
here.
The book also has an epic title, "Welcome to My Jungle: An Unauthorized Account of How a Regular Guy Like Me Survived Years of Touring with Guns N' Roses, Pet Wallabies, Crazed ... One of the Greatest Rock Bands of All Time".
According to the synopsis, Duswalt details his adventures with the band during the tour that spanned from 1991 to 1993 including the backstage run-in between Axl Rose and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and his wife Courtney Love at the MTV Awards and he also recalls the night that Liz Taylor walked in on a nude Slash "and stayed awhile."
The book runs 312 pages and has an official released date of May 13th but Amazon is showing that the book is currently in stock and shipping. Read the full synopsis and order the book

It read: "Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife, even when she's a bitch with zits and siphoning all yr money for doping and whoring."
The story was originally reported by CBS, after the note was made public by police in Seattle after they released a host of previously unseen photographs of the death scene.
But Hole singer Love has since written to the Seattle Times newspaper saying she wrote the note and that it dates from 1991, not 1994 when her husband took his own life.
More including a photo of the note.
The Austin Saya-directed live-action clip follows a man and woman as they search for each other on the streets of a big empty metropolis. Although still decidedly heavy, the track is a far cry from "Guilty All The Same," the album's blisteringly guitar-heavy song.
In an interview with Mike Shinoda, the co-frontman told Radio.com the music and passion on this record are rooted in the band's earliest memories of their favorite punk rock bands, those bands who weren't afraid to try something different. "There's an energy, an aggression and a meaning, like this attitude that I've got something to say and I need to get this out," he said.
"Rock music, even the most popular bands, they're not really influencing the zeitgeist," Shinoda continued. "It's not moving the needle of pop culture. I don't want rock to be pop, I don't want rock to go out there like that. But I do want it to be exciting, and right now it's� moderately exciting."

"Serenity" comes from Schon's forthcoming album, "So U," which is set to be released in North America on May 20th and May 19th in other markets across the world.

Now he says: "Robin is still seriously unwell and incapable of performing anywhere close to his abilities. His condition has been worsened from aggravated sores on his back, chafed by hit guitar strap in rehearsals. He has also picked up an ear infection as his immune system is on the floor. Playing shows in his condition would have been physically dangerous and recovery on a tour bus impossible.
"Everything has happened so fast it's impossible to bring in a replacement, and I'm left with no option but to cancel the entire tour." Fish admits he, his band and crew are "depressed and deflated" but

Pearcy walked out for what he says was the final time last month, although he later added he'd like to complete one last album with the band.
But Blotzer appears to distance himself from the concept, telling That Metal Show (via Blabbermouth): "Everything he says is delusional and complete lies. I have two pages of notes here that I can refute anything he says. He's so destructive.
"I'm not here just to go, 'Stephen is a bastard, he's a prick' - which he is, basically. There is a nice Stephen that I love. We get along on the road. But Stephen doesn't know how to play ball; he's not a team player."

"Call Me Up" is a song about keeping love alive. It is a plea from a distant lover for a sign from his belle that she's out there and that he is needed. It is a message that states, no matter what happens to you, I will be there for you, perhaps not in physical presence, for, "I'm not there," but if my body cannot be there to comfort you, at least my voice will be the key to your peace of mind until that glorious moment where I get to hold you. It can be taken literally, I will take anybody's call anytime they need a friend to talk to, but it also counts for our music. "When you're standing at the corner of the end of the road and it's obvious your heart is going to explode, call me up, I'll be right down," could double as, 'put on this song.' I want you to know we all feel pain and music is the universal escape.
When I wrote it I was in a state of confusion with my woman. We fought tooth and nail to be together while I was on the road, but it wasn't really possible at the time. We knew what we signed up for and I was desperate for her to "remind me why we're troubled?" Anyone who travels a lot knows that communication is the key to keeping that love alive, hence "Call Me Up." I am a big advocate for the telephonic exchange that we seem to be shying away from in this text-based society. Emotion comes through loud and clear through the human voice where it can often be lost within the framework of a text message. I've always lived by the rule that when I think of someone, I call them. Friendship and love are the most precious of things, and sometimes all you have to do to keep it alive is, simply, "Call Me Up."
Musically the song flowed out of me start to finish and originally had four more verses. One being, "tell a story don't be boring cause I'm ripe for California, get help now or get out, when traffic is so bad that there's no end in sight and your fists are falling fast at the end of the fight call me up, I'll be right down." At the time of writing it, I was writing songs about California almost daily, and the self-fulfilling prophecy came true as we ended up moving there soon after.
When I randomly met the man who would become our manager, Jerry Heller (Google him) on vacation at a pool in Miami, he asked me to play him some music. I immediately showed him a demo of "Call Me Up." He said, "That's a hit song with the right producer." Originally that was the only song we were going to cut in LA, but the sunshine reeled us in and we stayed for almost three years. Looks like Jerry's ear is as strong as ever.
We are very proud of the success this song has garnered us and seeing people around the country singing it back to us is the highest honor imaginable.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album
