Foo Fighters Cancel Shows After Dave Grohl Breaks Leg During Concert

It's to be released on July 24, with some of the lyrics addressing vocalist Randy Blythe's Czech prison ordeal. Morton tells The Rockpit: "There are guests on the album - Greg is on Torches and Chino is on Embers.

"Torches is an oddball song. That was one I brought in and I didn't expect the guys to like it because of the way it was arranged. To my surprise, they took it."

Crue are on their Final Tour, which ends in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Cooper is their main support and in January he said he'd lop off their heads with guillotines and auction them off on stakes.

Cooper, Lee and Crue singer Vince Neil spoke to TeamRock Radio ahead of Download, where Crue play the main stage on Sunday. Cooper says: "The idea was, because people were saying, 'It's not really gonna be the end,' and I go, 'New Year is their last show. You know how I know? Because I'm gonna kill them at the end.' Of course I was kidding, but Tommy said that wasn't a bad idea. With a machine gun and blood packs."

The pair were supported by a supergroup that included Who drummer Zak Starkey, former Oasis guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds.

The Who recently wrapped up a spring North American leg of their 50th anniversary farewell tour, "The Who Hits 50!" The band will open a European tour in Belfast on June 21, a trek that includes an appearance at the Glastonbury festival on June 28.

The band released the following message for fans via their Twitter account on Friday, "Last night, Scott injured his back pretty badly on stage and had to fly home to see how bad it is.

They issue Got Your Six on August 28 and drummer Spencer says while it does see the band tread new ground, fans shouldn't expect any major changes in direction.

He tells TeamRock Radio: "Definitely not prog, but I think people will go, 'It's a different groove for them.' It definitely sounds like Death Punch and we are who we are at this point. It's our sixth album. But there are some moments here and there where maybe we change up the grooves a little bit and have some different feels and tempos that we haven't done before.

The Boston band's 16-song set opened with their 1977 classic, "Draw The Line", and featured several of the group's 1970s classics, including "Toys In The Attic", "Back in The Saddle", "Mama Kin" and their signature tune, "Walk This Way", before closing with "Sweet Emotion."

The 15-date North American tour - with guests Living Colour - was inspired by the fans, according to guitarist Joe Perry. "The name Blue Army came from the fact that everyone in our audience from the 70's were wearing blue denim," he explains, "and it looked like a sea of blue, thus The Blue Army."

"I really like the album but I was never happy with the overall sound," says Iommi, "so I'm going to re-mix it before it comes out again. Can't say when, too much going on right now."

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

The follow-up to 2013's Temper Temper is released on August 14, and it's their first to feature bassist Jamie Mathias, who replaced Jay James earlier this year. The record sees BFMV delving into their pre-record deal days for inspiration.

Tuck tells Billboard: "People were wanting a pissed-off band, and it's hard to write stuff like that when I don't feel it on a personal level. So it was more writing this style of song that I did before the band got signed - making a conscious effort to do something that wasn't very nice."

"It comes out the third week of September, globally," Fallon tells Kerrang at UK"s Download Festival . "It's got eleven songs on it, and it's probably faster than 'Earth Rocker'. We wrote it pretty quickly after 'Earth Rocker', so we were, kind of, still in that headspace. It's got some thrashers on it."

Due June 15, the set captures the guitarist and his band in concert at the famed Los Angeles venue as part of the Guitar Center's 50th anniversary celebrations and the launch of his latest album, "World On Fire."

The Roxy event was one of three shows Slash played in Hollywood's most legendary clubs to launch the record; he also rocked The Troubadour and The Whisky in the same week.

But five years on, with the band headlining the main stage at Donington this past week, he's as focused as he's ever been. He tells TeamRock Radio: "I hate people more than ever, I hate this sh*t more than ever. I'm just getting to be a grumpy old man maybe. These days I'm just trying to be the best man I can be.

"I can always be a better father, a better husband, a better friend and a better bandmate. After all these years and this dedication, losing our brother Paul and other things that have happened that have been devastating and mind-blowing to what we do, I just try to look at my hands and realise that I have a good decision to make or a bad one and I try to make the best one.

The band's frontman Chris Robertson expects a single out before then, with the follow-up to Magic Mountain to follow. Robertson tells TeamRock Radio:

And Bordin says it was the realization they might be relying too heavily on nostalgia that eventually led to the recording and release of Sol Invictus in May.

He tells TeamRock Radio: "About halfway into the 2.0 shows, we'd done about 30 shows, and it felt really great. We said, 'I can see the end in sight unless we have something new to say.'

"You'd feel a little uncomfortable about dragging nostalgia out. And that was one thing none of us wanted, was nostalgia. We wanted to see if it was viable, how we felt about playing it and where it would lead us, if there was a future. It was kind of all of us saying it."

Cray tells the Courant: "I've always loved playing live - it's just a nice way to show off the band. You're baring your soul. You have no place to hide. We're a different band in front of a crowd."

The upcoming album will be a selection from four shows he recently played with bassist Richard Cousins, keyboardist Dover Weinberg and drummer Les Falconer.

Says frontman Michael Brown: "The album has the sound we had always had in our head for the band. The drums were loud and live, the guitars were aggressive and angry, the bass held down the low end like an elephant and I had never been happier with my voice.

Both tracks are taken from their sixth studio album Lost Forever//Lost Together which was released in 2014. They headlined London's Roundhouse in March - something frontman Sam Carter never expected to happen after experiencing live problems in the past.

The all-girl grunge icons played the Encore Stage at Download this weekend, just nine days into their first run of dates since 2001. A Kickstarter campaign to fund a planned documentary about the band was launched last year and the live return came on the back of that.

Singer/guitarist Donita Sparks tells TeamRock Radio: "The shows have been amazing. A lot of beautiful young people. We thought it would be a bunch of geezers, people who saw us 20 years ago. And it's this whole new thing.

"We were pretty blown away by the Kickstarter campaign because you don't know if it's gonna go over well or not. It's covered the cost of the film thus far. People are contributing generously. Those were older people with money and now we see younger people at the shows."

Bassist Jennifer Finch adds: "We didn't know what was gonna happen, we had no idea. We were sitting in Los Angeles and having our lives. We were like, 'Do people want this?'"

Frontman David Gunn tells Loudwire: "Eyes is probably my favourite song from the record. Even after it was finished and the record was released I didn't have the feeling that the song was done. It wasn't until this video was finished and the visual was paired with the audio that I felt it was a completely done and was satisfied with it."

They released the track Revenge in May from the Midwest Monsters 2 mixtape and cancelled their planned European tour which included a set at this year's Download. It was the second time they've failed to appear at the Donington event following the arrests of Gunn and bassist Eugene Gill last year in the US.

Akerfeldt tells Rocksverige: "I got an offer from a record label to do a solo record not long ago. Those rumours come from me saying that I would like to do a thing like that to learn more about the technical aspect of recording.

Decker tells TeamRock Radio: "I think in Europe, in general, the fans are much more loyal. They're harder to earn, but they'll stick with you for a lot longer.

"In the States, it's a flash in the pan. It's a pop-driven music culture, it's not a rock-driven music culture any more. Unless you have big single out, no-one gives a damn.

Giersbergen says: "The four albums under the Agua de Annique tag mark a very important part of my career - and my life in general.The freedom to explore various musical styles and forms was super exciting.

Solberg tells Prog Sphere: "I think sincerity is the main problem for people - they're too afraid of reactions. They're too afraid of disappointing their fans. If we'd started considering all the feedback we get from everyone we'd be completely confused, and we would be losing ourselves completely. It's just chaos if you start to consider all those things.

"In a composition process, the most important thing is to keep your distance from all expectations - just let the creativity flow. You'll always disappoint someone no matter what you do."

He reflects that it's impossible to please everyone anyway. "Being an artist is not exactly a win-win situation normally, because you always have people complaining no matter what you try to do," he says.

She tells TeamRock Radio: "Desire's Magic Theatre should be out in the autumn. It's more ambitious and has more scope in a rock opera kind of way. I think it's more direct as well. The songwriting has developed, it's clever pop music.

The group's 15-song set opened with their 1977 classic, "Draw The Line", and relied heavily on the group's material from the 1970s. The show included a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Stop Messin Around", a track featured on Aerosmith's 2004 album, "Honkin' On Bobo."

The event also served as a warm-up for the band's Blue Army Tour, which opened in Glendale, Arizona on Saturday. "The name Blue Army came from the fact that everyone in our audience from the 70's were wearing blue denim," says guitarist Joe Perry, "and it looked like a sea of blue, thus The Blue Army."

The band managed to secure a 12-hour slot at Abbey Road Studios last year to lay down the album, which was released in April. Bayliss tells Songfacts: "We had to acknowledge the time constraints. We went in hoping to get five songs done. We knew we had to work with songs we already knew - we couldn't really try to write or arrange much in the moment."

A list of ideas had been emailed between the band members, but he reports: "We really didn't talk much about it until the night before. And even the day of, things changed."

The band tell TeamRock Radio: "We picked up loads of fans and people seemed to like it. There's always that one guy who refuses to have any fun. He stands there like, 'I'm not having any fun, this is not metal.'

Frontman Gustav Wood tells TeamRock Radio: "It was one of the many ridiculous ideas that we try to conjure up. That was a lot of fun. We're trying to things that are interesting and new and a little different. That was a hare-brained scheme that ended up coming to pass.

Gaskarth tells Music Radar: "It's pretty f***in' insane to have those moments where things come full circle. You're standing in a room with Blink-182's Mark Hoppus or Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day and think, 'Holy f***, we're friends.'
