Rod Stewart And The Faces Announce One-Off Reunion

"I was really looking forward to returning to Europe and playing with the band again," says Davies, "and I'm sorry to disappoint everyone who has overwhelmingly supported the upcoming tour. Unfortunately my current health issues have derailed me and right now I need to focus all of my energy on getting well."

He appeared on the single Can I Sit Next To You, Girl which was later re-recorded by Scott and appeared on the TNT album. Now he wants to give fans the full picture about the band's early days.

Evans tells The Australian Rock Show (via Blabbermouth): "One of the last books written about AC/DC didn't cover the first part of AC/DC, because without that first 12 months of the birth of the band, the rest of the history is not complete - it can't be.

"The fans want to know exactly what happened so I'm making some inquiries now to write the book, so that AC/DC fans out there can have the full collection."

Taylor made the observation while promoting his new book "Making Me Hate You" with Loudwire and playing their 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?' game. He was asked about a quote from his book about being partially embarrassed to be part of today's music scene.
He told the site, "I feel like I'm being stung by 1,000 bees all at once. It's so Auto-Tuned and it's so beat corrected and it's so canned and processed and lifeless. You might as well be listening to a f-ing piece of wood at that point.

"When I was a boy," says Stanley, "before I ever saw The Who or Led Zeppelin, I saw Solomon Burke and Otis Redding. I saw the Temptations and all that music is part of the foundation of the music I've made.

"Soul Station is my chance to celebrate it for a night that's real, live and faithfully recreates the sound with the respect it deserves. Whether it's the Stylistics, the Dramatics, the Temptations, Smokey and the Miracles, Blue Magic and on, these songs, arrangements and sound just blow you away."

In 2010, Carlos contends he and his bandmates signed an agreement which noted that while he would step away from performing live, he would remain a fully-vested member of the band, hold equal shares in the band's fortunes, be an equal partner in the various corporations through which Cheap Trick conducts its business and would maintain the right to essentially nullify any business decision with which he disagreed.

Late last year, Cheap Trick members filed a countersuit against Carlos in a Deleware court stating the drummer was ousted from the group when he stopped touring with the band and that left him subject to removal as a corporate director without a unanimous shareholder vote.

"As far as the last few years have gone, I have dismissed my lawsuit against the band," Carlos tells Classic Rock Revisited. "I remain a twenty-five percent owner and a member of Cheap Trick. The decisions Cheap Trick makes I am a part of. That's basically how that kind of ended up.

"It is kind of a musical uncoupling type of thing. It's something like that, you know. In 2010, I got notified and was told, basically, to not show up for the next gig. One guy doesn't want me there and the other guys were fine with that. They asked if they could use my drums. I said, 'Yeah, go ahead and then send them back to me, please.' That is basically what happened.

The three-day event at Chicago's Grant Park saw the metal veterans top the bill on Saturday, while Paul McCartney closed Friday and Florence + The Machine wrapped up the weekend on Sunday evening.

Ian tells Eddie Trunk Live: "Music's never been cheaper than now. You can get a brand new record from your favourite band for $10. And even that's high, because most bands will sell them cheaper.

"It wasn't that long ago that CDs cost $18.99 at the Virgin Megastore. Records cost half what they used to cost, and people aren't buying them as much, which is crazy to me. What more do the people want?

It's officially approved by Experience Hendrix LLC and receives its TV debut on the US Showtime network on September 4, followed by a DVD release via Sony on October 30.

The record was Diamond's first concept album and told the story of a couple who move into a haunted mansion in 1845 and the grisly consequences of their actions.

Lyman accused "old, fat and bald" metal bands of inflicting long-term damage on the genre, although he later apologised. His outburst led King to bite back, criticising the quality of the bill and particularly of a label-sponsored stage.

Reese then admitted the spat had hurt the event financially, and called on supporters of metal to unite behind the genre's ideals. This week he posted a photo of himself with King Diamond on Facebook and said: "So amazing to have The King on the last Mayhem evah."

Malyan says: "I'm sorry to say that I am parting ways with the band. All upcoming gigs are still going ahead, and the next drummer for the band is gonna blow your mind."

It includes two brand-new songs alongside 10 reworked pieces from the band's catalogue, chosen via the Kickstarter campaign established to fund production.

Panic Room say: "Thanks to the incredible support and confidence you've given us, we were afforded a freedom of creativity that has far exceeded our initial idea.

"We set out to capture some truly unique acoustic versions of your favourite songs. We have enjoyed the process of reincarnation so much that a lot of extra magic has been breathed into the album."

"For me, it started the moment I first stepped onto the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in 1982. And again in Maui, Hawaii," says Hagar. "There's something about the island lifestyle that just makes your soul blissful and keeps you coming back for more. It's the feeling you get from being in paradise and there's no denying it.

"Shockwave Supernova" also debuted on the Billboard Rock Chart at No. 3 and ranks as the highest charting all-instrumental rock album on Billboard's Top 200 in the Soundscan era.

It was recorded in Los Angeles with veteran producer Steve Evetts (Suicide Silence, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Architects), while the video was directed by Jeremi Mattern.

Now Draiman tells The Scotty Mars Show: "I'm free at last, thank God almighty - free at last! It's beautiful." He adds: "For a few years I really enjoyed the interaction. It was wonderful having that sort of insight into what my fans were thinking. It was a great relationship."

But he found the experience turning negative as his following increased from a few thousand to 150,000 and more, making it difficult for him to respond to all comments.

His video features Pink Floyd backing vocalist Durga McBroom-Hudson alongside Kerzner himself, and uses visual elements created by Christine Leakey.

Kerzner tells Prog: "New World is a cinematic type of concept album. I've planned a lot of visual elements to go along with the music, in the form of music videos and also for the upcoming live shows. I drew inspiration from movies like Star Wars, Dune and Capricorn One. It was a thrill for us to shoot this on location in a real desert!"

Banks tells Classic Rock's Mark Blake: "Let's be frank - most of my solo work has been overlooked. That's okay. The success I had with Genesis made up for it.

"But once you've been through all the Genesis albums, you've done Mike + The Mechanics, Phil Collins', Peter Gabriel's and Steve Hackett's solo albums, you might find my stuff is worth a listen."

He collaborated with the band Railroad Earth on the title, which features tracks he didn't want to use in Gov't Mule or with the now-defunct Allman Brothers Band, or even in a purely solo work.

Bon Jovi said of their 13th album: "This is a fan record to accompany a 12-show international tour. It's the songs that weren't finished, that were finished, a couple of new ones like the one we released as a single."

This little ditty speaks for itself. Everyone has seen the video footage in the media of 'healers'... bringing a cure to the number of various internal, terminal illnesses a person may be plagued with.

Tumors, cancers and or just abnormal growths under the shin, or, deep within the body. Is it just a sleight of hand or is it really real? We'll find out. The premise for this song is based on the incurable/ inoperable brain tumor I actually have in the center of my head. No sh*t.
