Paul McCartney Duets With Alice Cooper On Supergroup Project

The group is currently on a headline tour, dubbed the Beyond The Barricade Tour, that features For Today, New Years Day and Ice Nine Kills. They said that the tour will go on as planned despite the crash.

The band posted the following message on their Facebook page on Thursday, "Well, after years of touring the country in the winter, 2 days ago we finally experienced the wrath of the notorious stretch of Interstate 80 between Cheyenne WY and Salt Lake that everyone seems to wreck on.

"We are all 100% okay, and considering the tragedy and loss far greater than ours that many other bands/people in general have suffered on I-80 or I-70, we are incredibly lucky and grateful that all we lost was a van and not someones life.

"Fortunately for us, we are traveling with 2 vans on this tour and we were able to jump in our other van with our crew members and continue on the tour as planned. All upcoming dates of the tour remain entirely intact and nothing has changed. We're still coming!

"We do want to extend a special thank you to the fans in SLC for their understanding in us pushing the show a day forward so we had time to make it last night. Regardless of what has happened, this has seriously been the best tour we can say that we have ever done. The crowds have been unbelievable every night and we are so thankful to everyone who has attended and anyone who is planning on coming out to a show for making it all worth it. To anyone out there driving in winter conditions, please be safe!
We hope to see you soon. Thank you! - MIW"

As we previously reported, last month the band revealed that Dickinson has undergone treatment for a small cancerous tumor on his tongue. The band reported that the cancer was found early and Dickinson is expected to make a full recovery.

Here is Smallwood's message, "Bruce has asked me to thank everyone for their tremendous support and kind wishes. He has been extremely touched and encouraged by the genuine and affectionate response from our global family of Maiden fans.

"Radiology is cumulative and continues to build in the body for around three weeks after treatment, so even though Bruce's seven week course is completed, he's had a long period of considerable pain and discomfort. He is happily now starting to recuperate and the pain will continue to abate and the swelling to reduce for the next couple of months at which time he will be able take an MRI scan. It is not until then that we will have full confirmation that the cancer has been completely destroyed. However prognosis continues to be extremely good and everyone is optimistic for a full recovery. Following the scan, we will officially update you on this website at the appropriate time, probably in late May.

"After that, it will take a few more months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. Naturally the rest of the band are totally supportive and Maiden's plans will be determined by Bruce's progress. Please continue your positive thoughts. They are very much appreciated."

The hip-hop legend revealed that he recruited some heavy rockers as special guests on his next solo album including Generation Kill, Sebastian Bach, Motley Crue's Mick Mars, Rancid's Tim Armstrong, Blink-192's Travis Barker, and Sublime with Rome's Rome Ramirez. The album will also feature Public Enemy's Chuck D.

McDaniels also explained why fans will never see Run DMC perform again. He says, "We can't be Run DMC without Jam Master Jay. The only time you will see me on stage after March 19 this with either my band or with Rob Dukes and Generation Kill."

Pilot Roger Peterson, who also died, is thought to have lost control as a result of bad weather and human error. Holly was 22, Valens was 17 and JP Richardson, the Big Bopper, was 28.

Now the US National Transportation Safety Board have confirmed they've received a request to reopen the investigation. A spokesman says: "We are reviewing the petition to reconsider the Buddy Holly crash, based on certain criteria in our regulations."

Corabi - who replaced Vince Neil in 1992 but was ousted on the original singer's return four years later - tells Do You Know Jack: "A lot of people already know about it. Mick and I have had some discussions about possibly going in and doing a record, and maybe going out and doing some shows.

But he's asked fans for their continued patience over the project, which has been gradually taking shape over the past few years. Asked about the chance of hearing new material during the summer - including headline appearances at this year's Reading and Leeds festivals - he replies: "I hope so. Absolutely."

Frontman John Bush had the following to say, "When we began talking about a new record I told Joey Vera (bass) to pretend we were a really huge band and that we could do anything we wanted. At least that was the mindset we should have, from the writing to the production. What came out was Win Hands Down, which is our first record in five years.

"There's everything from classic Armored Saint rocker songs to epic songs and we all dug deep to deliver something special. If we weren't going to, then we shouldn't have bothered. I'm glad we did. In May we are doing some shows in the States with Saxon. It's a great way to get the ball rolling."

Vera adds, "We're very excited about our new record coming out in June! We've been writing over the past year and half and we feel like we've written some amazing music. We can't wait to share it! To get our whistle's wet, we're super excited about doing some warm up gigs before the record release with the legendary Saxon this May! We're doing a total of six shows between the East Coast, Texas, West Coast and we couldn't think of a better way to start off the summer! See you all soon."

Wilson will be touring in support of his forthcoming solo album "No Pier Pressure," which also features guest appearances from Jardine and Chaplin. The album will be released on April 7th.

We received the following announcement from their camp, "Unfortunately, due to health concerns and extenuating circumstances, The Yardbirds' Spring 2015 tour dates have been postponed."

Founding member Jim McCarty gave more details on his official website. He wrote, "I'm very sorry to announce that due to medical reasons, the tour this Spring to the US has had to be cancelled. Whilst it is (these days anyway) a minor procedure that I'm having, it will take me a little while to recuperate.

"It's very disappointing for all concerned and not least for those of you looking forward to seeing us, but I'm sure we'll be back very soon. I'll post more news when I have some. Best wishes, Jim."

She's been living with a debilitating medical condition for some time, and it's now forced her to rethink her career after eight years fronting the Hertfordshire prog outfit.

Seviour says in a statement: "As many of you will know, I've dealt with ME for the last five years. The condition and lifestyle changes that it has resulted in - including a move cross-country - have made it impossible for me to commit to Touchstone in the way that it truly deserves.

But if they do get back together, he has no interest in bringing in a near-complete album like he used to. Wilson tells Under The Radar: "I would have to say to the guys, 'Look, there's no point in me writing the material. If I were to do that I might as well do it for a solo record. Let's try writing together, or writing in partnerships."

He accepts that, no matter how successful his solo career becomes, he'll always be asked about Porcupine Tree. "I think of someone like Peter Gabriel - people are still asking him when Genesis are getting back together," says Wilson.

"It's not a bad thing; it's a flattering thing. When you step out of a reasonably successful band it doesn't matter how good your solo work is. People always have a nostalgic attachment to the band identity. I'm used to it now.

Eagle Rock say: "For the majority of the songs the videos included are the originals, but Games Without Frontiers has been reworked and there are new promos for In Your Eyes, Solsbury Hill and Washing Of The Water, for which no original footage was created.

The first, New York Minute, sees him performing many of the tracks that inspired him - some of which have never previously been available on record. It's topped with his solo hit Battle Lines and Asia classic Heat Of The Moment.

Nergal tells the Broward Palm Beach New Times: "I'm actually working on a project now, but I don't want to let too much out about it yet - very stripped down and simple. The most primitive, acoustic-based stuff. That's what I'm really into."

The band had following to say about the album, "KATAKLYSM has been full of inspiration and are in full determination mode lately; a rejuvenated band that is out to conquer the world with no sign of stopping!

"This promises to be the album that will once and for all establish KATAKLYSM as one of the top pioneers of the genre! The latest material will be touching on some new ground while maintaining the aggressive edge the band has always been known for.

"The chemistry with new drummer Oli Beaudoin is incredible, and the four horsemen promise some crushing new material coming your way. Death metal hymns are arriving!"

The goaltender worked with artist David Arrigo to design a retro-style mask that combines a coyote on the front, an old Coyotes team logo on the side, and Cooper on the back.

"I think it turned out unbelievable," says Smith. "It's very simple, it's very retro, and that's the theme we went with this time around. It's the old Coyote head with different things involved, obviously the whole head of the coyote and then the old logo on the side.

"Probably the coolest thing about the helmet is the backplate. It's a tribute to Alice Cooper. He's been a lifer as a Coyote fan and a big supporter of the team.

"David been wanting to paint Alice Cooper on my helmet for quite a few years now and finally I let him have at it. Obviously it's an amazing tribute to Alice and the support he gives our team, and a throwback to him."

Arrigo explains each new design presents its own challenges and opportunities as the pair work through the design process.

"With EVERY mask I work on with Smitty, there will be� let's say, some locking of the horns, and this piece was no different," says the artist. "Smitty was looking for a clean break all around, including the backplate. In contrast, I push as much as possible to have something on the mask that have people look twice.

Vocalist, keyboardist, producer and engineer Tom Glagano explains: "Many of the melodies, rhythms and lyrics in Everlasting Instant began as seeds on the two previous albums, and they've come to fruition on this release.

The band just completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the making of a documentary - they secured nearly $59,000 after setting a $26,000 target.

The 3CD set will include a remastered version of the album along with a complete live recording from the 'Defenders' tour from the Long Beach Arena in California.

White stopped by to see the Tigers at their Lakeland, Florida spring training facility, stopping to chat it up and take pictures with everyone from stars Jose Iglesias to team legend and current special assistant, Alan Trammell.

Due May 4, the set includes participation from former Sabbath and Heaven And Hell drummer Vinny Appice, former Black Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin, Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau, Hugh McDonald (David Bromberg, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Lita Ford), Mark Boals (Savoy Brown, Malmsteen, Dio Disciples, Dokken) and many others.

"We're gonna try and squeeze in whatever we can, probably towards the end of the year," says Puciato. "We've talked about the UK and the US. The UK is a great possibility, because you can play the whole lot in about two weeks, whereas with the US it might be that we do New York and Los Angeles, because we won't have time for a five or six week tour... I just know we're gonna play."

The band are sharing footage featuring clips of new music; it's the latest update following video released in December at the start of the project and rhythm track sessions last month.

Extinct - their follow-up to 2012's Alpha Noir/Omega White - will be available as a two-disc edition, which will contain the full album, along with bonus tracks and a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the album titled Road To Extinction. It will also be issued as a mediabook, limited deluxe edition and on vinyl.

Say the band: "It puts the D of darkness back into dark metal. It's a true lesson for the new generations of goth metal about how it's played and felt with body and soul - a lesson taught by no others than our Portuguese gentlemen wolves."

Journalist and Nirvana fan Jamie Dunkle launched a crowdfunding campaign in the spring of 2014 to buy it and turn it into a Kurt Cobain museum; supporters helped raise a mere $2,385 towards a goal of $700,000 via GoFundMe.com.

Websites including Stubhub and Seatwave have been mired in controversy in recent months, with people from many sectors of the music industry calling for action over the way they operate. Criticisms have included the fact that original ticket prices aren't listed alongside the reseller's rate, buyers aren't told about restricted views, and difficulties with contacting sellers over problems.

Last month bands including Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden backed the Put Fans First campaign in a bid to have ticket sales laws overhauled.

Taye Cannon: Physical attraction isn't everything, but it's a very real thing. "Love Maker DeVille" came together during a time when I was trying to bounce back from a little heartache. I was hanging out in downtown Austin, Texas, one morning looking for a little inspiration for a comeback song, when a sight to behold of a woman came down the street and filled me with so much inspiration that I felt resurrected. I looked away and made a deal with myself that I was only gonna take one more look and then jot down the first description that came to my mind, unfiltered, and that would be the name of the song and the chorus. I took one more look and I said to myself, "She was a milk-fed, long-legged, heartbreaker; a fatback Cadillac love maker DeVille."

Errol Siegel: When it came time to make a video for this song, we called up our good friends Josh and Nick Holden from Mishnoon. We worked with them on our video for "Try My Love" so we knew whatever they did was going to come out great. We ended up shooting the video at one of our favorite south Austin hangouts, C-Boy's Heart & Soul. The video is mostly about the chase -- the magnetic attraction that can happen from across the room. There was not a whole lot of direction. They (the directors) just set the scene and let the action unfold organically. We were trying to capture the feel of a late-night, after-hours party at C-Boy's, and I think that came together pretty well!
