Investigation Into B.B. King's Death Closed By Police

But he returned to action last week in a Game Of Thrones-themed chair, designed while he was under the influence of prescription drugs. Grohl tells Entertainment Weekly: "What seemed like a setback at the time has turned into the beautiful blessing in disguise.

"This throne, these crutches and these audiences make us play longer and harder than we ever have. It's this whole new energy in the show." He says of his stage prop: "The idea is just f***ing ridiculous, especially for a band that's never relied on any kind of production at all.

The 5-date fall run will see Chris Adler performing double-duty with both acts as the longtime Lamb Of God player is also the current studio drummer for Megadeth.

"Having just finished an amazing record full of high-energy heavy metal with Chris Adler, Kiko Loureiro and David Ellefson," says Dave Mustaine, "I am excited to announce this tour and see all of the metal fans come out for this one. I literally can't wait to hit the stage again!"

"I have to say that it's definitely exciting to be announcing this one!," adds Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton. "It's been almost a decade since we've had the opportunity to tour with Megadeth, and we're absolutely thrilled to be teaming up with them once again for these very special UK dates.

"Also appearing will be our good friends and long time co-conspirators Children Of Bodom and Sylosis. This lineup is unstoppable! If you're not stoked about this bill, then you very simply do not like heavy metal! Take a plane, take a boat, hitch a ride, take the tube, bring your Wellies�see you there!"

Shaddix tells Revolver: "I don't really get the Hollywood scene right now, to be completely honest, especially with the pop music and what's going on in that world.

"I just see it as useless drivel. Rock'n'roll brings so much more heart and soul and passion and fire to people. I just don't see people rolling up on Kanye and being like, 'Dude, your music changed my life.'"

After the Huffington Post article "The Lost Girls" gained traction online, Fox's once-bandmates Joan Jett and Cherie Currie issued statements maintaining they were unaware of the incident.

Fox, however, is sticking by her account. In a lengthy statement posted to her Facebook, she defended the reporter Jason Cherkis and alleged once again that her bandmates were fully aware of the incident.

'He spoke to every known living person who was there the night of my rape, save one," she wrote. 'All I can say about what was said and done is that my bandmates were children who'd witnessed something criminal and tragic," she continued. "I've no doubt they were dealing with it as best they were able. They had no responsible adults to guide them-only a rapist and his apologists."

Cavalera tells Metal Hammer: "There's another Killer Be Killed record coming next year, and more Cavalera Conspiracy stuff in the future. At this point I'm just letting it roll. Whatever happens will happen - that's my attitude. I'm not forcing anything. If it happens, great; if not then it's still okay."

"Our chemistry goes really deep," says Sarzo. "We grew up on the same styles of music, and we're all children of the Sunset Strip. Tracii and I had the same path musically, and we connected. It's the same with the other guys. We don't want to lose sight of that legacy, but we want to do something new too. I call it 'Modern Vintage Rock!'"

"There aren't enough straight-ahead rock 'n' roll bands," says Rokkett. "We're proud of the work and believe in this. We're bringing it because there's a void."

A bit of news - for many years now I have been toying with the idea of doing a solo album. And now it's happening. Kscope will be releasing it later in the year.

"The album will be the softer, more acoustic side of me, with more focus on longer instrumental passages, something I guess you could say is more 'progressive'.

The musicians took turns to lay down their parts on the track with Butcher Babies, Alice Cooper guitarist Ryan Roxie and In Flames' Bjorn Gelotte also helping out.

In the video, filmed by Comite Des Reprises, The Answer's frontman Cormac Neeson can be seen leading the vocals, with help from Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy mainman Max Cavalera.

Guitarist Miguel Rascon had the following to say of the band's comeback: "This is our first CD in 13 years and I think we're getting a lot of really good responses.

"And not playing for that long and then coming back two years ago, people coming to the show, it feels good. It feels like people still haven't lost faith in us."

Vocalist Burton C Bell says: "The word 'genexus' is a hybrid 'genesis' and 'nexus.' This word describes the next transition in human evolution as man moves forward to a mechanical state of being."

Reissued last year, the book sold-out of its limited-edition run of 2,500 copies upon its initial release in 2010, becoming the fastest-selling book in Genesis Publications' 40-year history.

With incredible attention to detail, the guitarist has chosen photographs representing the most significant moments in his career: from a schoolboy with a rock-a-billy quiff through his extensive work as a session musician; from The Yardbirds through Led Zeppelin, ARMS, The Firm, Outrider, Coverdale & Page and Page & Plant; playing with Roy Harper and The Black Crowes; collaborating with P. Diddy and performing with Leona Lewis at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The Swedish outfit have dealt with criticism from some quarters as they moved away from the extreme-heavy sound of their earlier years. Akerfeldt tells The Metal Review: "They have a hard time understanding that they don't call the shots - and perhaps they don't know what's best for the band.

"On a strictly commercial level, if we wanted to avoid confrontation we'd do music we think the fans want to hear. Records like Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries came about on those premises."

But he continues: "We don't treat this band like a money-making machine. We're not businessmen - we have a very pure kind of interest in music."

The follow-up to 2013's Apocalyze is produced by Josh Wilbur and features tracks written by guitarist Takemura Kazuki, who was struck down by a brain hemorrhage during the tour for the last album.

Singer Koie Kenta says: "It was the worst thing to happen to us in our entire music career. Fortunately or unfortunately, it just affected his left hand. He is still alive, he never gave up as a musician and he wrote a couple songs for this record as well. It has bound us together as one."

It focuses on a 94-minute video featuring material shot at four shows in the Los Angeles area, alongside clips from 1982 and 1987, plus interviews with Cray, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Buddy Guy and others.

On June 12 in Gothenburg, Sweden, Grohl fell off stage early in the show, received treatement, and returned to finish the concert. But the incident led to the cancellation of the group's European tour, including the pair of UK dates.

Now, the Foo Fighters will return to play The National Bowl in Milton Keynes on September 5 and 6 with guest Iggy Pop, and Edinburgh's BT Murrayfield Stadium on September 8 with openers Royal Blood and Honeyblood.

It's the fourth track issued from the album, following "In The Heat of The Moment", "Ballad Of The Mighty I" and "Riverman." The Gallagher-produced "Chasing Yesterday" debuted atop the UK charts upon its release earlier this year while peaking at No. 35 on the US Billboard 200.

American brothers Trent and Wayne Gardner were joined by bassist Hal Stringfellow Imbrie. Jethro Tull drummer Doane Perry made a guest appearances on 1993 track Waterfront Weirdos.

Magna Carta Records say: "The early influences of Rush, Yes, and Kansas are marbled throughout Magellan's debut album, which recounts the signing of the Magna Carta and takes a progressive excursion through England's formative years as a nation.

Heart's enduring career has no doubt been because of the resilient musical leadership of both singer/ songwriter Ann and guitarist/ singer Nancy Wilson, although it did not always appear that way. The "blood is thicker than water" cliche had proven to be true several times throughout their career, but perhaps never more than during the early 1980s. Ann and Nancy share with InTheStudio host Redbeard what led them to take the reins and ultimately to reinvent Heart.

"By 1981 we were already leading the band. We just came out and did it... The band was in a lot of turmoil, and we were the only ones who could be unified enough to lead the band." - Ann Wilson

"Right before the self-titled Heart album, we were without a record company and we were changing management... In the MTV era that we were in then, we put on the costumes and it was fun! Got out the flashpots, got the record company, got the budget, got the videos going and made sort of like a comeback, at a time when Heart's career was really flagging... We really lucked into some great people who helped us reinvent." - Nancy Wilson

That reinvention yielded hit after hit including "What About Love?", "Never", "Nothing at All", "If Looks Could Kill" and Heart's first # 1 single "These Dreams".

This is a very sarcastic and suggestively disturbing song. It represents a chapter in my life that I'm very happy to close out. The lyrics are pretty literal. I'll try not to give the whole thing away, but I was seeing a girl in San Diego. I remember taking her out to a bar in Pacific Beach and fighting for her attention literally the entire night.

We'd been talking for a while. She was the kind of you couldn't easily read so I went above-and-beyond to show my interest. I took her out for dinner and drinks afterwards. Paid for everything. At the end she insisted upon me dropping her off to spend the night at another dude's house. Total bummer. Felt like a big fat slap to the groin.

So when the lyrics say talk about her in high heels strutting right to his door�Yeah, I felt every step of that along the way. Should've just dumped her hot Colombian butt along the side of the road, but instead I let it eat me up. I sent her flowers for awhile after that until I saw her one day about a month later with bruises under her eye. Go figure. If you want to catch this girl, apparently abuse was the only way to get through. Not my thing.
