Stone Temple Pilots Release Scott Weiland Musical Tribute Video

Lamm confirmed in an interview with Radio.com that Cetera and Seraphine will be attending the ceremony at the Barclays Center in New York on April 8 and he also expects them to perform with the band at the event.

The Chicago founding member had this to say about performing with Cetera again, "I've said this before and I've said it to him: if there's ever a time that we can share the stage again, this is it. I think it could have a huge emotional impact on the audience. And I think that that would be a very moving experience."

Motley Crue will be playing the last show of their final tour in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve and during an interview with the San Diego Union Tribune Neil called out KISS for their farewell and reunion "tours".

"I mean, KISS had five farewell tours, and four reunion tours. That's exactly what we don't want do to. Other bands don't really give a s***. That's their philosophy: 'This tour will never end'; or 'We'll do reunion tour.' That's not what we're about. That's why we're going out on our terms."�

Neil then expressed how he wants fans to view Motley Crue's farewell, "We wanted to go out on top. with people saying: 'Yeah, man, I saw the last concert. It was awesome!'

First up, Tool will be launching a U.S. tour with support from Primus on January 9th in San Diego, CA at the Viejas Arena and wrapping up the trek on January 31st in New Orleans, LA at the Smoothie King Center.

Keenan will take a month and half off the road before kicking off Pucifer's Money $hot -- Round 2 tour, named after their latest studio album, on March 17 in Riverside, California which will run through April 16th in Providence, Rhode.

Kerslake says: "To all our fans that have expressed concern over my cancer, I have had numerous tests and have been told by my specialists that I will be around for a good while yet - meaning years.

"My bone and prostate cancer can be controlled for me to live pretty much a normal life - after all, I kicked my diabetes into remission, so I will bloody well beat this."

Molotov Solution vocalist Nick Arthur will front the band on their upcoming European tour. McMahon says: "I spend too much time away from my fiancee, family and friends. Touring has taken a massive mental, emotional and physical toll on me.

"One of the biggest reasons is money, - we have been broke for years and I can't live like this any more. I'm getting married next year and plan on having a family, these things cost money. To put the finances into perspective, we have earned between $16k and $18k each over six or seven years. I feel there is something massively wrong with this - I will not live like this any more."

The Australian group crowdsourced the new video by asking their fans to help contribute to the shoot and the group says that they were "overwhelmed" by the response.

Set It Off had the following to say about the clip: "What a year it's been. This live music video is just from a sample of some of the amazing shows we played this year.

The follow-up to 2013's "Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor" has been in production while Zombie worked on his latest horror film "31." "The record is done," Zombie told Loudwire in August. "We finished it and it'll probably come out in March because what I want to do is I want to do a very large visual component to go on the record - shoot 13 videos or shoot a movie to go along with it. Because of 31, I couldn't get to that, so I'm gonna do that in January and put it out soon after that.

"I kind of got re-inspired on the last record and this really follows up on it," he adds. "Much like 31, you have those moments in your career where they can't all be the best one, but sometimes you have those moments where this one is special and that's how it feels."

Blurryface Live At Home will be aired in America on January 1 via the Palladia channel at 9pm Eastern Time. The film features their gig in Oakland this year during their world tour in support of fourth album Blurryface.

Playing on the same bill as Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and the Michael Schenker Group, the Scorpions are sharing the performance on one of two bonus discs in the expanded package, alongside other promotional videos and material from a 1984 concert at New York's Madison Square Garden.

The German group's ninth alb8um, "Love At First Sting", became the group's most successful album in the US, where it peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1984 and went double-platinum by the end of the year, eventually reaching triple-platinum status in 1995.

Mass Darkness is available now via iTunes and Amazon. The lyric video for the single was created by Michael Dickinson, who has previously worked with Orange Goblin and Gallows.

Arktis was recorded at Ihsahn's studio in Notodden, Norway, mixed in Sweden by Jens Bogren and features 10 tracks. It features guest appearances from Einar Solberg of Leprous, Matt Heafy of Trivium, Jorgen Munkeby of Shining, Tobias Ornes Andersen, also of Shining, and Norwegian author Hans Herbjornsrud.

Ihsahn, real name Vegard Sverre Tveita, says: "My focus for this album was to write within more traditional song structures and still give each song a strong individual identity, be that through a re-occurring melody, a chorus, sound design or the good, old guitar riff. I also wanted to explore this on the production side, blending organic rock sounds with more modern expressions."

The Mass Darkness lyric promo uses visuals based on the travels of Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen. It depicts his three-year expedition to the North Pole by ship and on foot.

He tells EMP Rock Invasion: "Roger Brilliant is from England. He lives in Los Angeles now because all British rock stars eventually move to Los Angeles. There's not an English rock star left in England, they're all in LA.

"He was very huge in the 1980s, he had the Pet Shop Boys and Wham! opening up for him, but he hasn't been on stage in 30 years or something. But he's gonna come back soon."

Wilson tells Metal Wani: "I feel that progressive metal is, right now, one of the most overused musical vocabularies there is. There are too many progressive metal bands. There doesn't seem to be a week that goes by without another 10 groups coming along."

He states he's a fan of the genre and namechecks Meshuggah and Opeth as two of his favourites, but adds: "Those bands have been around for a long time now and I think the problem is that there comes a point where it's difficult to make a sound using such a limited musical vocabulary which has any degree of freshness or originality to it.

He tells LaGrosse Radio: "Maybe 25. Hopefully 50. Who knows? But no, we haven't planned anything. There'll not really be anything special. A new DVD is coming out next year, around the 20th anniversary. But no special shows, no special tours because we're aiming for the future."

He tells Billboard: "Jack is a guy who's been fighting for years, so everything is really efficient. Everything he does is real small. You pull a knife out, he'll walk up, take the knife and break your neck. And so it's all close quarter, highly efficient. He's not into killing you. He just wants you to leave him alone. Break your neck, maybe eat your arm.

"He's just a thing. He takes his carcass, throws it in a chair, makes it watch TV. Because eternity, for him, sucks. He was done a thousand years ago. But he can't die. He's furious, he wants to go, and that's his existential crisis and what appealed to me most about the character."

The single is off album Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus, composed and produced by Luca Turilli, and was released on June 19 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The track has been remixed with a new bass arrangement, guitar parts and orchestration. Turilli says: "There is a cool story related with Il Cigno Nero. I composed it in a couple of days on my grand piano and it was born as a bonus track only. But soon we all started loving its glorious melodies and the depth of the lyrics related with metaphysics and spiritual evolution.

He tells Full Metal Jackie: "The strangest thing about it to me is that I haven't touched some of these songs in 20 years. I never thought I'd be that guy going backwards, but the songs stand the test of time and work really well. It's been a head trip going backwards like that and having so many people come out and trip out on it."

The jam band grew out of a school group formed by Popper and drummer Brendan Hill in 1987, and they released 12th album Blow Up The Moon this past April.

The London-based rockers start the run of shows in Leicester in February 11 and wrap up in Southampton on February 20. The band had the following to say about the trek:

Singer Emmanuel Jessua says: "The album is confident and uncertain, excited and depressed. This dichotomy is one of the band's leitmotivs, that's how we get all those highs and lows successively, just like in our actual lives. We play bipolar music."

Guitarist Mats Haugen revealed the following details about the new effort: "The theme on this new album is about moments and experiences in life that lead to love and hate.

"Metaphorically, it's about succumbing to fire and striving to cope with the aftermath of decisions when overshadowed by the love we have for others and ourselves."

The band say: "It is with very heavy hearts that we have to announce a change of release date for our debut album Statues. You guys and this album mean the world to us, and we just needed a few more weeks to make some very final tweaks to it.

It features guest appearances from former Van der Graaf Generator man David Jackson and Panic Room's Anne Marie Helder. Andy Jackson says of the follow-up to 2014's Signal To Noise: "I spent some time travelling back and forth to the sea - the edge of the world - while I was working on projects for others. I noticed in myself a sense of nostalgia each time I went there, as if revisiting a childhood home. I have never lived near the sea and I've scarcely been to this particular place before. Still, the false nostalgia persisted.

Maddah told fans to approach Eventopia for refunds, while the agency said the responsibility lay with the promoter himself - leaving fans frustrated and angry, as well as $185 (�90) out of pocket.

The film charts their formation at a jam night in Aberdeen and follows the release of their first three albums, followed by the death of drummer Dave Innes from cancer last year.
