Here they are with today's song: Home- This track was lyrically inspired by the events of September 11, 2001. Bobbie was actually an employee who worked in Tower One� after the collapse of the towers he spent weeks volunteering in the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. While there he found himself profoundly moved by the many people he met�.hearing their emotionally devastating tales of lost friends, brothers, sisters, wives and husbands were his inspiration for, in my opinion, this very moving piece of work.

While most of our songs have been said to have many elements of prog-rock and metal, we decided to keep this particular song straight-ahead and to the point. We wanted a composition that would be timeless and really stand out from being labeled into any particular genre of music�as Bobbie stated, "�although inspired by those tragic events that touched us all deeply, we feel the message is a universal one of Hope, Love and Strength after tragedy."

The threat turned out to be a hoax, courtesy of someone calling from a cell phone with only 911 capabilities, authorities said. It was unclear if Sunrise police had any suspects. Police did not return numerous messages and pages seeking information Saturday evening.

When asked if an alternative to this heated situation between him and the rest of VELVET REVOLVER would that they all cool off, do their separate projects and then regroup and see how the land lies, Weiland replied, "I think they should get GUNS N' ROSES back together, to tell you the truth. I think that would be the greatest thing that they could do. I think the world would be very happy.

Blabbermouth has the story: Amazon.com is currently listing an October 28, 2008 release date for the new METALLICA album.

Billboard had this to say about Friday's performances, "Mellow singer/songwriter Jack Johnson brought the first day of the annual Coachella music festival in southern California to an underwhelming end. His performance at Indio's Empire Polo Field on Friday was evidently not compulsory viewing for all of the approximately 60,000 or so attendees. Prior to Johnson, reunited UK rock outfit the Verve commanded the main stage... Serj Tankian's politically fueled appearance at the Outdoor Theatre sent a jolt into the late evening audience." read their full review

While Johnson's mellow style may have underwhelmed on Friday night, Prince apparently painted the desert purple with an explosive set of his hits, some unexpected covers and collaborations. Aside from his standard set of hits, Prince was joined on stage by Morris Day for a performance of "Jungle Love" and then Sheila E jumped on stage for "Glamorous Life".

So when we had the opportunity to sit down with the band following the press conference, we just had to ask: What's the deal with Tommy?
