Scott Weiland Cancels Upcoming Tour

And the Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman says he recorded nearly an album's worth of material before Slash decided he wasn't the right man for the job.

Taylor tells Loudwire: "I think it was 10 songs, nine or 10. There was a handful that we wrote and a handful that I rearranged based on music they already had. I think there was three songs that we wrote together, which were actually pretty sweet."

Work was abandoned after they failed to secure a suitable singer, although demo material has circulated and some of the music later appeared on the reformed Yes' 1983 album 90125. Squire died last month, aged 67.

Asked about releasing the recordings, Page tells Radio.com: "Absolutely, but I haven't worked on it. It's something I wanted to do after all the Led Zeppelin stuff was out.

The tour is scheduled to kick off on August 14th in Budapest at the Sziget Festival and will conclude with an appearance at this year's Reading Festival in the UK on August 30th.

The band did not indication how long the break would last. Here is the message that they posted on their Facebook page "We wanted to let everyone know that we'll all be taking a break from The Gaslight Anthem after this next European tour in August. We're all going to do other projects and stay active in some way or another, both in and out of music, but we'd like to step away from the band until we decide what we'd like to do next.

"We'd like to recharge and take a step back until we have something we feel excited about rather than going right back to making a record just for the sake of making the next record. We all feel this is the best decision we can make and it feels like the right one for us.

Known as Jerry to her friends, she'd brought them up after her husband died suddenly in 1950, just five years after they'd married. Granddaughter Galadrielle Allman's says via Gregg's site: "Jerry had a motto taken from a poem by Sam Walter Floss: 'Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.' The modest beauty of this wish was typical of Jerry.

"She had a natural ability to live in the moment and celebrate the simple pleasures of life. Her door was always open to her many friends and she often had a full house. She took great pleasure in flowers and gardening.

Tate's joined in the work by guests including Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and Disturbed counterpart John Moyer, plus drummers Simon Wright, Brian Tichy and Scott Mercado.

For over a decade Led Zeppelin soared above the Rock'n'Roll world, setting course with their groundbreaking 1969 debut, then trailblazing through the Seventies selling millions of albums and concert tickets. But it was this very demand for more� larger crowds, longer tours� which would vie for focus from these four still rather young men trying, in some cases, to start a family or deal with fame and fortune. Factor into this heady brew the fate of the unknown and unforeseen, and you get legendary creative highs and the most tragic losses and lows. That's what you have with what turned out to be the final Led Zeppelin studio albums Presence in 1976, the timeless In Through The Out Door in 1979, and the post-original collection of rarities called Coda.

InTheStudio host Redbeard speaks at length to band founder/ guitarist/ producer Jimmy Page about his comprehensive overhaul of the Led Zeppelin catalog which now has given fans the most authoritative look at the band's illustrious career. In Through The Out Door is played every day on US radio, but as the studio album which preceded drummer John Bonham's death, Jimmy Page assures us that it was never meant to be Led Zeppelin's last.

"Of course it wasn't. There'd have been another album after that. I know John Bonham and I had discussed that. And if you want to have an idea about what way that would go, well then just listen to "Bonzo's Montreux" and see where he's given a good hand to be able to do drum orchestra and really enjoy himself. He used to like to get into things where he could really get in and groove... We probably would have gone in that direction, but it's hard to tell �." - Jimmy Page

King tells Unrated: "No one involved with the Grammys has any idea about metal, let alone hard rock. The first time a Grammy was awarded to a metal band was Jethro Tull. Are you serious? Last year, Tenacious D - they're a f***ing joke band."

Clutch recorded the project at their own studio as well as producer Machine's place in Dripping Springs, Texas. "The title 'Psychic Warfare' is taken from the track, 'X-Ray Visions," says singer Neil Fallon. "It's a tale about an unnamed protagonist who is forced to seek refuge in a flop house motel. He is hiding from several nefarious psychic forces, the worst of which is his own sleep deprived paranoia."

Clutch have also announced new US tour dates for the fall that will see the band joined by special guests Corrosion Of Conformity (COC) and The Shrine for shows starting October in Fort Lauderdale, FL on October 3.

The Californian outfit were left $29,000 out of pocket after losing their slot at the US event, adding to their woes after guitarist Alex Lyman was stabbed in an unprovoked attack last month.

Slaves say: "We were so sure that this band was over and we leaked a song on the CD that meant a lot to us. We put all our merch up to cover what we could of our debt and bow out.

Simmons tells Bass Guitar Magazine: "I remember thinking, 'They look weird.' They were very small people by American standards, and they looked feminine.

Crosby, formerly of Jones Street, tells Rock N Roll Experience: "I thought I was retiring - I was in LA for 30 years and I moved back to my home town in Virginia.

"Anthony Esposito, the bass player, called me up and said they needed somebody quick. I'd opened a skate shop, but I closed it up and came out on tour, and I've been on tour since."

A spokesman for bookies William Hill tells the Guardian: "There seem to be all kinds of rumors and the plot has had more twists and turns than a classic Bond tale.

Griffiths had the following to say: "It's going to be a huge honor for us to play alongside all these legendary bands, so we hope to see you there for all the proggy fun."

Frontman Jim Grey says: "Bloom is very special to all of us - it's an album full of colour and life, vibrancy and energy, but one that breathes in and out with a natural ebb and flow. It's exactly what we hoped to achieve with Caligula's Horse. To us, this album has a life of its own."

Joining vocalist George Clarke, guitarist Kerry McCoy and drummer Daniel Tracy on the album, which is said to continue their blend of "black metal, shoegaze and post-rock" are bassist Stephen Lee Clarke and second guitarist Shiv Mehra,

Mastermind Jimmy Page recently told Classic Rock: "It was a very difficult album to approach. We'd lost John Bonham in 1980, but even when I came to do Coda, it still felt tough. It was a contractual album. We had to do it.

The resulting black-and-white video sees the group joined by hardcore fans rocking out to the tune while fist-pumping, air guitaring and more. "Where would we be without our fans?," says singer Justin Hawkins. "Well, we wouldn't have a video for a start. Or at least, we wouldn't have a video with quite so many brilliant people in it. I'm so proud of them, they never disappoint us"
