Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp Form Supergroup

Gore, born in 1946 in New York City, was a junior in high school when "It's My Party," one of pop's quintessential songs charting the rough waters of teenage angst, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963, as well as the U.S. R&B chart. Not only was it Gore's first hit; it was also producer Quincy Jones'.

The tour, in support of Rock's new album "First Kiss," is scheduled to kick off on June 24th in Hartford, CT at The Xfinity Theatre and will conclude on September 5th in Auburn, WA at White River Amphitheater.

Like his "$20 Best Night Ever" tour, tickets for this summer run, from the "2nd row to the lawn" will only be $20.00 with reduced parking and service fees keeping the total price of the tickets around $30 and under.

Also according to Warner Bros., "$20 all-in tickets (including parking) will be offered from participating Walmarts and at the venue box offices, and everyone who purchases a ticket at Walmart will receive a coupon for $2 off their purchase of 'First Kiss.'

Guitarist Joe Cocchi had the following to say about the accident, "We rolled about three times from what I can remember and landed on the median. Our van and trailer are totaled."

He adds, "All I can say is that we're happy to be alive. I don't know how, but none of us were injured. We're on the road touring because this is all we know and love, and we want to continue. Help us get back on our feet by picking up a shirt. Thank you all for the continued support."

The band announced that they were on their way to California for the kick off a tour with Suicide Silence and Fit For An Autopsy and they expect to take part in the tour's third show in Seattle on Friday.

The guitarist tells Mitch Lafon (via Blabbermouth): "I've never met anybody that has so much genuine musical integrity. He won't whore himself out, he won't do anything for business or money. It's just about the music.

"And he won't defend himself in the press, because he doesn't think it matters. It's just about the music - that's all he cares about. I've worked with a lot of people in this business, and I've never seen, or met, anybody that was motivated purely by that desire to make art.

"And you can say whatever you want about it, because he's not gonna defend himself, but he is that, and that's for sure. Otherwise, there would have been a reunion, because the offers for money have been outrageous. But he would never do a reunion unless it was for something besides money."

Rose has come under fire for repeatedly taking to the stage hours after the scheduled start time. Fortus at first thought it was for effect, but he says he realises now it is more about Rose getting himself in the right frame of mind.

He adds: "For the longest time, when I first started with the band even, I thought it was by design. I thought, 'He has this worked out.' Because it's two hours after we're supposed to start, three hours, and the stadiums are full of people just booing.

Now Ted Owen and Co auctioneers will sell the 33-track collection on behalf of Larry Grossberg, the business manager of Andy Warhol and Muhammad Ali, who spent �100,000 remixing 26 of the songs for a 1977 album release.

Earlier this month Strimell was said to have been given the job after a tweet that read: "I am very pleased to say I will be joining@AAOfficial I am so stoked guys! This is a brand new chapter!"

Asking Alexandria denied it, with guitarist Benjamin Bruce tweeting: "Until I say anything don't believe the rumours." Now Strimell tells Metal Insider: "I just found out that a tweet by someone calling himself Jimmie Strimell has made a joke on my behalf and may be causing Asking Alexandria some problem as well.

The Frampton and Cheap Trick summer tour will be kicking off on June 5th in Temecula, CA at the Pechanga Resort and will conclude on August 25th in Livermore, CA at the Wente Vineyards.

The sessions at Black Island Studios in Middlesex saw the group film the lead single, "Play Ball", on their own on October 3 before being joined the next day by about 500 fans from around the globe for the title track.

Richards explains how he became involved in the video shoot. "I received a call on the Thursday evening asking if I could step in as Phil was unavailable, so I filled in at the last minute," Richards tells Rhythm magazine. "It was all hands on deck. I got my kit sorted out and then an early start to London. I heard the songs an hour or so before we went on to the set to start the filming. I played it over several times and did a bit of air drumming to it."

The honor recognizes legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist's unique genius and celebrates one of rock's most important and influential guitar players, writers and producers.

The band say in a statement: "Heart In Hand will no longer be continuing to create and perform music. Trust is a hugely important part of any band, and when it is tested it is difficult to come back from without causing further damage.

Anderson will team up with bassist David Goodier, keyboardist John O'Hara, guitarist Florian Opahle and drummer Scott Hammond on the project. Guest musicians will also appear via video, although further details have yet to be released.

The Killer Instinct was recorded with Nick Raskulinecz, who's previously worked with the likes of Rush, Deftones, The Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains and Mastodon. It's released on February 23.

The package comes via Off Yer Rocka Records and includes 2009's out-of-print Halfpenny Dancer plus two discs covering the unreleased 2010 Halfpenny Dancer live show, featuring fiddles, pedal steel, mandolin, banjo and more.

Quireboys frontman Spike says: "The plan was always to record some new acoustic songs and rework some originals - but the plan changed. The vibe got better and better and we just went with the flow.

Last March the blues icon was told he had just 90 days to live unless a transplant took place. Fans raised nearly $250,000 via a crowdfunding campaign to cover his medical bills, and he underwent surgery in May.

Despite suffering a health setback in October, his wife Marie vowed: "The bottom line is this: Walter will pull through - just watch!" Now Trout says in a video: "I want to tell you I feel great these days. I'm recovering very nicely - it's kind of a miracle. I look forward to getting back in front of you, playing my music for you.

In 1990, Don Was was one of the most in-demand producers in music, if not the most in-demand. As such he had a lot of big name friends. So, when he was hired to produce Bob Dylan's 1990 album Under the Red Sky, he brought a lot of those friends in to guest on the record. Among them were Stevie Ray Vaughan, Elton John and the guitarist from the hottest band in the world at that time, Slash of Guns 'N Roses.

Slash told Radio.com that he was called in to play on the song "Wiggle Wiggle," where he thought he would be laying down a guitar solo. He played some acoustic rhythm guitar to start and then picked up his electric. "I put what I thought was one of my better one-off solos on there," he recalls.

When Was sent Slash the tape, the guitarist was surprised that his acoustic playing was on the track but not his solo. It turned out that Dylan felt his electric lead made the song sound too much like GNR for the Dylan's tastes.

Under the Red Sky came early in Was's producing career and he feels his inexperience worked against him. "I was thinking like a fan," Was says. "'Man, I loved Highway 61, it'd be great if he did something else like Highway 61!' So, I'm trying to get him back to something and he's trying to look forward and do something different. Which is what you're supposed to do! You're not supposed to just imitate yourself, you're supposed to do something new that challenges you. It's a lesson to everybody. It's larger than producing records. Don't be that way in life. Don't keep repeating the same old things. Be present in each new moment, don't rehash the past. So I don't think I was of great service to Bob Dylan."

Frontman Roky Erickson is joined by original drummer John Ike Walton and bassist Ronnie Leatherman in the reunion lineup. Electric Jug player Tommy Hall is also onboard for the show at the Levitation festival, May 8-10, at Carson Creek Ranch.

"I think the term 'singer-songwriter' sadly evokes a white guy in a coffee shop strumming a f***ing G-chord all day," says Locke. "I think this record sounds more like a band record� the band just takes occasional smoke breaks."

Since Rooney's demise, Locke has released two albums and a live EP as part of Taylor Locke and the Roughs and struck up a friendship with impresario Kim Fowley, which led to the recording of Time Stands Still.

Holopainen tells TeamRock: "When Elan was leaked, the whole band was really upset and we ended up being vocal about it. Now I look back at the whole thing, I think it's good that we brought this thing into the daylight because it's a big problem these days. Not because of money but because it kills the mystery.

Pajo, who has worked with Slint, Interpol and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as well as Billy Corgan's short-lived group Zwan, later posted an image from a hospital bed in which injuries to his neck can be clearly seen.

The rare event saw the pair discuss the Led Zeppelin guitarist's photographic autobiography, "Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page." In part 1, Page discussed his early years and musical upbringing with host Cornell in front of a live audience at the Ace Hotel Theater on November 12.

Part 2 sees the guitarist talking about how he came to join The Yardbirds. The event followed the re-release of Page's book, which sold-out of its limited-edition run of 2,500 copies upon its initial release in 2010 on its way to becoming the fastest-selling book in Genesis Publications' 40-year history.

Perla Hudson tells TMZ that she still speaks to Slash and that there is no bad blood and that she doesn't expect that their lack of a prenuptial agreement to be a problem.

She adds: "It's pretty amicable. I know he's gonna do the right thing for me and his children, as I would do the right thing to him. Like I said, it's amicable, so there's no bad blood - at least not yet."

The first set of reissues will come from Anathema, whose albums Judgement, A Fine Day To Exit and A Natural Disaster will be remastered and released on CD and vinyl on April 13. A box set titled Fine Days 1999-2004 will launch simultaneously featuring the trio of albums along with a DVD containing the track Fine Days.

Holding All The Roses was recorded with producer Brendan O'Brien, who's worked with the likes of AC/DC, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, and limited edition vinyl sets are still available from the Earache webstore.

A Spark In The Aether: The Music That Died Alone - Volume Two is the follow-up to 2013's L'Etagere Du Travail and takes its name from their 2003 debut.

She says: "The core of any success we've had to date has, I believe, been due to our independently minded approach with a strong commitment and belief in artistic integrity.

"As such, we've resisted a number of attractive label offers in the past but on this occasion I'm delighted to be partnering with Paul and Sheri, who I feel truly understand our artistic aims.

Hammill says: "Flight had been in the repertoire since the last North American Tour. Lighthouse Keepers had only ever been played live once before, as far as we remember, back in the seventies.

Speaking about the headline slot, frontman Justin Broadrick says "Godflesh is thrilled to be playing a very metal UK festival! We don't get asked to play many, as we're often viewed as not 'real' metal enough, or we're generally seen as outsiders, which we are, thank you. That doesn't mean we don't like to be invited to be a real metal band once in a while and especially in the Derbyshire countryside! Thank you Bloodstock!"

Joining Godflesh on the Sophie stage on Sunday are the Brit thrashy bastards Onslaught. They're celebrating a baffling THIRTY YEAR anniversary since their debut album "Power From Hell" in 2015, so this is gonna be special.

Lucassen will also play at The Gentle Storm's debut album launch event next month in the Netherlands - although he won't take part in the rest of the tour.

Lucassen says: "It's really happening. Anneke and I are leaving for the acoustic tour. Exciting! Quite nervous as well, though. It's been a long time since this recluse played live."

The festival will run from July 30th through August 2nd at Cherry Hilton Hall in Cambridge England. Organizers have revealed the initial acts that will be playing this year's event.

The brainchild of one of the most respected artists in the extreme metal world, Jannicke Wiese-Hansen, whose work has graced Burzum's best known album sleeves, Satyricon's first album and created the logos for both Immortal and Enslaved, BlekkMetal is both a celebration of the roots of Norwegian black metal and a tattoo convention, as she puts it, "a look back at what were, what happened and what inspired the beginning of the scene known as True Norwegian Black Metal and a tribute to those times!"

Conceived as a small but intimate even, BlekkMetal will host 16 tattooists with strong connection to the metal scene, a series of talks, live interviews and panels dedicated to the birth of black metal's second wave, and 10 Norwegian bands formed before 1994.

The bands confirmed so far are: Enslaved, Taake, Hades Almighty, Aeternus and Helheim. The confirmed tattooists are: Uncle Allan (Conspiracy Ink, Berlin), Phil Kyle (Magnum Opus, Brighton), Welt (Yama Tattoo, Rome), Trine Grimm and Nick Morte (Lucky 7, Oslo), Jon Clue ( East Side Ink, NY) and Dagfinn Bjelland (Karma Tattoo, Haugesund).

The Sacramento band will release the nine-track EP Open The Mind To Discomfort on May 18 via Artery Recordings. It is the group's first release since 2011's Voir Dire.

Quite some time ago I was tumbling over an article about violence against children and what it does to them, how it affected them during their whole life.

It was not until the composing of our new album HOME that I thought about using these impressions for one of our songs. This special song was created during a jamming session in our rehearsal room. We right away started to play this incredible chorus with this kicking-ass melody, which came to my mind � and a clear word on my lips: "shine".

I directly knew that this had to be a song about the fragility of childhood, about the things that people are capable to do to these defenseless beings and about the hope that, out of the dark, they still have the strength to carry on � and "shine". It fitted so wonderfully into the concept of our new album HOME.

I soon realized that SHINE meant so much more to me. It actually evokes some questions that were turning in my head: "What if it happened to my own child?"

When we shot the video for SHINE I played some scenes with my son � and it was just right � as a father that I am �
