Led Zeppelin Plan Online Event Tomorrow

Athos Poma and Giuseppe Fedi received around �185,000 in royalties after they exploited a flaw in the Italian Society Of Authors And Publishers' (ISAP) computer system which meant composers of many popular songs were not properly registered.

The pair claimed rights to 220 songs between 2006 and 2008, including Paul McCartney's My Love, Tom Jones' Sex Bomb, Queen's Liar, Radiohead's All I Need and People Are Strange by The Doors. McCartney dedicated My Love to his late wife Linda.

Van Halen tells What It Means To Be An American: "I'd love to make a studio record. Depends on everybody's timing. I don't know what Dave is up to now - I don't know if he's living in New York or Japan or wherever he is."

The band has confirmed an extensive run of tour dates on their website beginning on April 30th in Tuscaloosa, AL and concluding on August 9th in Wichita, KS.

He formed Big Brother And The Holding Company in the early 60s and recruited Joplin in 1966. They went on to record classics like Piece Of My Heart and Summertime.

The month-long trek will kick off on April 25th in Orlando, FL at the Central Florida Fairgrounds and concludes on May 23rd in Houston, TX at the House of Blues.

The tour includes appearances at several music festivals including Welcome To Rockville on April 26th, Carolina Rebellion on May 3rd, Rise About Fest on May 9th and Rock on the Range on May 15th.

The new trek will be the former Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver star's first U.S. tour in support of the "World On Fire" album. Slash had the following to say about the new tour plans: "The World On Fire tour has been nothing short of awesome. So I can't wait to jump on these US festivals in May. As well as mix in our headlining show for a bunch of dates along the way."

Slash and the band head down under this week to kick off a series of dates in Australia and New Zealand including appearances at this year's Soundwave Festival as well as few headlining shows. The tour kicks off today in Wellington Central, NZ.

Following those dates the band will kick off a South American tour on March 4th in Santiago, Chile at Teatro Caupolican. That tour leg will conclude on March 28th in Monterrey, Mexico.

The tour is set to kick off on April 8th in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre and will visit cities in California, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts before wrapping up in Philadelphia on April 30th.

The North American tour is scheduled to kick off on April 1st in San Francisco, CA at the Regency Ballroom and will conclude on April 23rd in Atlanta, GA at Masquerade. More dates are still to be announced according to Testament.

Testament and Exodus are also scheduled to appear at a few music festivals including Welcome To Rockville on April 25th, Lunatic Luau 15 on May 1st and Carolina Rebellion on May 3rd.

Ellefson tells Rock 'N' Roll Industries: "The first thing is, we have a new album. It's going to help determine the lineup. From there, everyone will see what that lineup is. So, to be continued."

The guitarist shared the news during his hour-long interview at The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington on February 12, an event to help launch the institution's new 3-year initiative "What It Means To Be American."

While gushing about being able to make music with his son, Eddie told host Denise Quan, "Wait til you hear his record. This is not 'pop' (Dad) talking, this is real talk, it blew my mind."

And while he says it was "a thrill and an honour," he was filled with some trepidation about filling in for late founding member Jerry Garcia, who died in 1995.

Anastasio tells Rolling Stone: "I thought about it for a minute, tried to think about the implications. Phil said all four of them thought it was the right thing.

The project debuted last fall at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 80,000 copies. The Canadian rockers have just launched a 6-month tour of North America in support of the record.

It was recorded thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign last year. The band say: "American Head Charge are extremely excited to announce our signing with Napalm Records for the 2015 release of our new album, Tango Umbrella.

"We'd like to thank all the fans, friends and family who contributed to make the recording process possible. We're very proud to be delivering a DIY record to you all.

He says: "The way that it happened, it was like fate intervened. I was with Jeff Beck at a Yardbirds concert. It was actually in a big tent at Oxford University. Keith Relf got rather drunk and fell into the drum kit - I thought it was brilliant.

"I'm watching this from the back and there's all these students on the point of graduation all in their evening dress and Keith Relf being an absolutely wonderful punk.

The group released their long-awaited album XXXVI last year and have detailed plans to tour across the US starting in April. Now mainman Lamm says aside from their live commitments, he's keen to start writing again.

He says on the group's official website: "Current focus is practice. Work with C begins in earnest later in February. Next step is viewing videos of past tours and reviewing songs of co-headlining bands to prepare for summer.

Bassist Billy Gould last year said he'd feared his colleagues couldn't be persuaded into working on the project. But Bottum tells FasterLouder: "We got really bored with what we were doing. We felt like there are a whole lot of people out there who look to us to be inspired by what we do artistically.

Davis tells the You Rock Foundation: "When I got my panic attack I thought I was going to die. I didn't know what was going on. That was one of the reasons why it's so hard to deal with anxiety and depression. You don't know what's going on; you think you're going crazy.

"I started thinking meds were bad for me. I turned schizophrenic for a while. It was a really, really tough time." He adds of his depression: "It's like walking around with a giant lead blanket on you. Nothing excites you. The concept of happiness you can't get into.

He recently said: "In some ways I went full circle since my parents played Clapton and Dire Straits when I was growing up. I heard nothing but the best then - and that's what I'm trying to do today."

He later said one last album might be on the cards - but ruled that out in January, meaning 2010's Infestation is likely to mark his studio swan-song with the band. Now he says original bassist Croucier, who was also a member of his outfit Dirty Rats, is also more or less finished with Ratt.

Pearcy tells Eddie Trunk: "I can probably speak for Juan. We're very dismayed and disturbed by quite a lot of things. What we thought was going to be a good thing ended up being even worse than we thought. When it took this long to get the four original members together, then it just falls to even bigger sh*t, you've got problems."

Metal Is Forever features 16 of their best-loved tracks, while the second disc contains covers by artists including Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Black Sabbath.

The track originally appeared on the band's debut, "Stoneage Romeos", which was named No. 28 in the 2010 book The Best 100 Australian Albums (the band's 1985 release, "Mars Needs Guitars", landed at No. 60).

Faulkner and Shepherd have been playing stripped-down acoustic shows as a duo recently, and the group have two March dates scheduled before drummer Mark Kingsmill retires from the band after 30 years.

But the veteran singer/songwriter reserved special praise for Springsteen, and his version of the song. Dylan says on his website: "Springsteen did that song like the record - something I myself have never tried.

"I never even thought it was worth it. Maybe never had the manpower in one band to pull it off. To tell you the truth, I'd forgotten how the song ought to go.

He says: "Choosing the single from the album was really easy - it was clear it was going to be Edema Ruh. But after two weeks of rehearsing, Marco and Troy asked, 'How about Elan for the first single?' They liked the chorus and Marco thought it was a better song.

The band say: "We are very happy to announce that At The Gates will be a part of the Damnation Festival 2015. Especially fun to be back on Yorkshire soil where it all started back in the day on Deaf/Peaceville Records. See you there folks."

The High Flying Birds mainman credits Amorphous Androgynous with expanding his knowledge of the band, founded by late singer Demis Roussos and keyboard maestro Vangelis.

Gallagher - who's previously listed Aphrodite's Child classic Four Horsemen among his top ten tracks of all time - tells The Quietus: "I f***ing love them. Four Horsemen was a staple Mancunian classic.

"When I met the Amorphous Androgynous fellas, they played me some other stuff like Funky Mary and the It's Five O'Clock album, which is really brilliant.

Formed in 2008 and led by vocalist/guitarist Vlad, the group also includes bassist Amphycion and sticksman Ilmar Marti Uibo - the group's fifth drummer in seven years.

Vlad says: "I've worked 18 months to write this album. It was a lot more difficult than the previous one since I wanted to push all the limits further, break all boundaries and deliver something as bestial as hell."

The stage is sponsored by Prog Magazine and curator Jon Vyner from Tidal Concerts says the lineup was chosen to give a cross-section of styles across the genre.

He says: "The bill came together really organically. Amplifier are one of those bands that are both heavy and prog at the same time so they transcend the boundaries and are a great headliner to have.

The first of the shows will see the band performing their debut mini-album Left Fire in full, while the second will feature a setlist put together by fans.
