Slash, Paul Stanley, David Lee Roth Lead Dave Grohl Birthday Bash

Following the former couple's divorce almost 20 years, Kelly began using the famous last name for her construction and interior design company, but it was when she attempted to register a trademark for a variety of products that the band's holding company, ELVH Inc, challenged the matter in court with claims that it was diluting the band's brand and would be confusing to consumers.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, attorneys for both Van Halen parties informed a California judge this past week that an October 2013 lawsuit should be dismissed, bringing an end to the legal dispute. ELVH attorney Jeffrey Cohen_ _says the case has been "amicably resolved."

Manson revealed in a Facebook post that a full online stream for the U.S. has been released on SoundCloud, presented by Genius. U.S. fans can stream the full album here.

Directed by Brett Morgan, the project is being steered by the late singer's daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, who serves as executive producer. Billed as "a raw and visceral journey through his life," the film provides no-holds-barred access to Cobain's archives - home to his never-before-seen home movies, recordings, artwork, photography, journals, demos, personal archives and songbooks.

The specific reason why the band has been banned has not been disclosed but the group did issue the following statement on Facebook on Saturday, "Ladies and Gentlemen that were planning on attending the Lake Buena Vista, Florida date at the House Of Blues on the upcoming tour with Taking Back Sunday and The Menzingers and expecting to see ll.- due to reasons we cannot control, we will not be permitted to play said date.

"We have just been notified by the people at Disney Orlando/HOB that we have been pulled from the event. We cannot offer any details as to why since we were given none ourselves.

"Rumor has it that Goofy, Pluto, and most of Toontown were in protest against the decision, but Chairman Mouse exercised veto powers and struck down the proposition in the end.

The 2015 edition will include a Murder Mystery event, horror memorabilia from Hammett's extensive personal collection, and live music. Hammett says: "It has always been my intention that Fear FestEvil events carry both the weird and the loud, and what better way to achieve another extension of what we want to do than eat dinner in a haunted house while solving criminal acts before a weekend of super kick-�ass music."

Frontman Randy Blythe previously confirmed the follow-up to 2012's Resolution would be issued in 2015, around the same time he publishes Dark Days: My Tribulation And Trials - due July 10 via Da Capo Press - a book about his Czech manslaughter ordeal.

The documentary As The Palaces Burn was released on DVD last autumn. It reveals Blythe's process through the Czech legal system and the way in which the death of fan Daniel Nosek affected the band, colleagues and friends.

Regarding work on Lamb Of God's 8th album, Adler tells SiriusXM's Liquid Metal: "It's great. I guess the thing that I was overwhelmed with was the idea of us taking the year off of 2014 and then have us come together basically around now and start putting things together.

"But, as usual, everybody is a little antsy and wanting to jam, and it wasn't, like, 'Oh, hey, Willie has an idea and Mark has this kinda cool solo thing he wants to add on top of it.' Both of these guys came in with about 50 different song ideas.

Following Drover and Broderick's departure from Megadeth in November, the pair recruited Bonner - who left his group in April - and completed writing material for their debut.

The band recently wrapped up a world tour and according to Simcoe.com, the group will now begin work on the follow-up to their 2013 self-titled release in February, with frontman James LaBrie indicating it will launch this coming autumn.

Due January 26 via Century Media Records, the album's title is inspired by recent slave labour atrocities in India - according to frontman Barney Greenway - while seeing the veteran band embrace a mix of styles as they evolve their sound.

Bassist Shane Embury, who previously revealed the album takes aim at modern materialism, explains the background behind How The Years Condemn. He says: "Musically I wanted this track to encompass lots of different rhythms and nuances in the short space of time which the song occupies, which I hope we achieve, and that it bursts with an intensity and emotion to match the theme of the lyrics.

"Lyrically, it's a departure from the rest of the new album as it's self-reflective. A couple of years ago I was hospitalised prior to a very important tour and was forced to miss out on going and had to stay at home."

Drummer Edu Cominato says: "To me it was a natural transition because we never felt like hired musicians. We've been touring with Jeff since 2009 and we always had this connection between us, we always had this unity. We are just confirming this with Soto."

Lombardo was then photographed drumming in the dark using the sticks and the images have resulted in a 12-piece collection titled Rhythm Mysterium. He says:

Singer Austin Dickinson - son of Iron Maiden frontman Bruce - says: "The Fall is a song seething with an energy and determination that I have never felt before. Coming off the back of our former projects, it would be far too easy to release something that 'treads the water'.

"We wanted this one out there first because it has that crucial diversity that sets us apart, but at its heart has the anthemic core and the fleshed out heaviness that made me want to make music in the first place.

"It's a direct, impassioned and honest statement of intent for our future. 2015 is the year that UK rock breaks down even more walls, and we are here to help light that fuse."

The full tracklist has still to be confirmed but the band previously said the disc would include The Bars by Black Flag, Banned In DC by Bad Brains, Kids Of The Black Hole by Adolescents, Vision Thing by The Sisters Of Mercy, Seeing Red by Killing Joke, Everything Falls Apart by Husker Du and Cortez The Killer by Neil Young.

Mainman Tommy Victor says: "Prong is very excited about the upcoming release of our new record Songs From The Black Hole, and equally excited about the artwork and packaging.

"Since the record explores Prong's roots musically and geographically, this needed to be expressed visually and this was attained. With the help of our art director Mike Lopez, the theme of urban decay, desolation, insecurity and ultimate change that prevails in the music has been brought to the surface in images."

The film - which tells the story of the band through original members Phil Ehart, Dave Hope, Kerry Livgren, Robby Steinhardt, Steve Walsh and Richard Williams - will see its worldwide debut next month ahead of its release in March.

Project producer and former manager, Budd Carr, says: "It is an honour to have our Kansas band documentary Miracles Out of Nowhere selected to premiere at the 2015 Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

FreqsTV say of the series: "Ghosts Of The Road is an intimate day-in-the-life-of portrait series, featuring some of today's top rock and metal acts as they navigate a rigorous life on the road.

"This landmark series offers more to fans than the mic-in-the-face interview and will go backstage to take a more personal look at what it takes to bring the rock to the masses."

As Plant continues to promote the critically-acclaimed Lullaby and ... the Ceaseless Roar, he reveals the origins of his music career were not necessarily homegrown.

He tells USA Today: "My preoccupation as a very young early teenager was a music form that I might have missed. If I had missed it, I would never have sung. If I hadn't heard the Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, Little Richard music, I wouldn't have been drawn to music.

The band are on the road across North and South America and have already begun writing new material. But frontman Mikael Stanne says they need time away from their touring commitments to fully develop their ideas.

He tells Horns Up Rocks: "Once we're done and we head back, we'll start working on a new album. We have a few festivals but mainly it's about writing. So I really look forward to that.

He tells Q Magazine: "We've probably got 20 songs that are about 80% finished. It's sounding really rocking at the moment. I think it's important to put some more rules and limitations on what we do because on the last few records we ran with whatever ideas we had.

While speaking with Noisey UK, Manson reflected on his early rock 'n' roll days when he was a music journalist. "I hated rock'n'roll when I started," he said. "It was on the cusp of grunge and a lot of bands that I used to call 'commonist rock' because everyone wanted to be like the common man with the flannel shirts and Pearl Jam and their fight against Ticketmaster and all this horse sh*t."

At one point in his music journalism career, Manson reviewed Nirvana's 1989 debut studio album Bleach and while writing the term "grunge" came to him. "Nirvana was different," he continued. "That was one of the bands I covered first as a journalist and I'm just going to go ahead and say I coined the term 'grunge' in a review of 'Bleach'. You're welcome."

And Souza says things are much cleaner behind the scenes. He tells Thrash Eaters (via Blabbermouth): "Everything backstage is all healthy. Nobody does drugs anymore, that's over and gone.

"There's a little bit of alcohol, but not like, 'Let's pound 12 cases of beer. What do you mean we drank that already?' That's nonexistent. I figure I'm 50 now. I was 22 when I joined Exodus in the beginning. I've got to keep this going and the way to do that is to keep in shape."

Schenker's Temple of Rock band features former Scorpions Herman Rarebell (drums) and Francis Buchholz (bass), plus ex-Rainbow singer Doogie White and Wayne Findlay on guitar and keyboards.

"All songs were co-written by Doogie and myself, " says Schenker. "Wayne co-wrote five songs. I originally wanted to write the album as a group effort, but I had this concept that needed to be focused on differently. However, Herman and Francis did very well by adding there amazing Rock You Like A Hurricane rhythm section parts that gave it all it needed.

Working alongside producer Tero Kinnunen, the group have been issuing video updates documenting their progress in the studio. Fans will get their first listen to new music with the release of the lead track, Elan, on February 13.

Rob Halford is a heavy metal icon and his influence on the genre is immeasurable. Bands such as Anthrax, Pantera, Slayer and Metallica have cited Rob Halford and Judas Priest as a major inspiration on their own music. This book isn't about Judas Priest as such, though it inevitably touches on the subject, but rather Halford's varied solo music.

Made Of Metal explores the solo music of one of the greatest singers of all time. From Halford's first post-Judas Priest project Fight through to his controversial collaboration with Trent Reznor with the album Voyeurs right up to his metal rebirth with his self-titled band, Halford, this handy guide celebrates Halford's creativity and love of all things heavy metal.

From the author of the acclaimed The Story Of Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith, Rock Landmarks - Judas Priest's British Steel and Dawn Of The Metal Gods - My Life In Judas Priest And Heavy Metal (with Al Atkins), Made Of Metal is the first book to exclusively explore the solo music of the Metal God himself, Mr. Rob Halford. Made Of Metal celebrates Halford's musical legacy and offers titbits of information and trivia about his career as well as a biography, discographies, a timeline, reviews and tributes from leading musicians and music writers. There are also many previously unpublished live photographs of the heavy metal icon.

He tells Yell Magazine: "His main influences are Dio, Rainbow, Deep Purple and stuff. He listens to some new stuff but he's very old school. He has a very loose playing style sort of like Eddie Van Halen and those guitar players like Ritchie Blackmore - not super technical as I sometimes think super technical players are amazing but there's no soul in it.

I wrote "lonely" the day after I returned from a six week tour. Most people don't know there is a massive adjustment period after a tour ends. It feels like the world is moving so slow and trying to reconnect with love ones becomes a very hard task. So after a few drinks, in my post tour depression madness, just kept singing the hook about being lonely.

The lyrics ended up being an ode to a lonely housewife and how hard it must be to have a husband travel like a musician or military personnel. After about an hour of circling my living room in my underwear strumming the guitar I finished the song.

It's a special song to me because I never want any mother, wife, sister or friend to ever feel that loneliness I feel coming home from work.
