Guns N' Roses Didn't Steal 'Sweet Child O' Mine' Says McKagan

"I was hallucinating," he said. "I drove around the United States for a month, following an angel that I saw on the hood of my car." Stapp made headlines back in November when he released a YouTube video saying he was broke and homeless, living out of his car, which led his wife to have him institutionalized. A month later, a call to 911 from his wife was released, in which she claims Stapp believed he was part of the CIA and had made potential threats to assassinate President Obama.

Stapp says, "In my delusional thinking, I thought my family was involved in ISIS, and that millions of dollars had been taken from me to support terrorism. All of it was nonsense. I was out of my mind."

The performance served as a teaser for a charity show on Thursday night that Vedder and Who guitarist Pete Townshend are putting on entitled "AN Evening Celebrating The Who with Pete Townshend and Eddie Vedder".

In their 18 track-deep set, the band put their stamp on iconic songs ranging from AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock" to Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69," The Knack's "My Sharona," The Rolling Stones' "Miss You," Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure" and Alice Cooper's "School's Out," to name a handful.

"The first day in the studio I recorded a song that became my first single," says the singer, "and if 'Love is Your Name', then Nashville's my new girlfriend. I guess you could call that Beginner's Luck."

The rocker announced his intent to record a country album during a Twitter Q&A last October. "Country, to me, has always been oversimplified, by an accent, a truck, cowboy boots, a dirt road, a back porch," Tyler tells USA Today. "But I think it's more about freedom and pride and hard work and the girl. And knowing everybody's first name in town, you know? There were 1,200 people in my town when I grew up. That, to me, is country."

Tyler will join Aerosmith for the Blue Army Tour, with summer dates set to start June 13 in Glendale, Arizona�.after that, he'll return to Nashville to work on his debut solo album.

The tour is scheduled to kick off on July 7th in Laredo, TX at the Laredo Energy Center and will conclude on August 22nd in Kettering, OH at the Fraze Pavilion.

Here is what the band had to say, "With heavy hearts, we regret to announce that we will no longer be appearing on the Civil Unrest tour this June with our friends in Ill Nino, due to unforeseen issues with immigration in the USA.

It is one of a number of pilot shows being broadcast on Amazon Instant Video this summer. Amazon customers will be invited to watch and give feedback on the pilots to help decide which ones become full series on the Amazon Prime service.

He tells Pop Culture Madness: "In between touring we managed to put out recordings and we have a new album that is almost finished. We're going to finish all the overdubs, get it mixed, mastered and sent off to our label.

Shaw tells Ultimate Classic Rock: "I'm writing some stuff for what will be more like an Americana solo album. We're also working on some new Styx music - just taking our time with it. We've always been creating a little stuff. We don't really have any plans to release an album, but there's stuff in the works."

They recently played a series of symphonic shows in Nashville where they teamed up again with conductor Liza Grossman. She was involved with the band's One With Everything: Styx And The Contemporary Youth Orchestra in 2006. And they were "mind-blowing" experiences Shaw hopes to repeat.

Frontman Marq Torien says: "Can't wait for our fans to hear this album. I put my heart and soul into this music. This album has sick peaks and valleys. It is not a linear album. A straight-out labor of love that I've dedicated to my amazing father, all of our families and our unfaltering Bulletboys fans and friends."

It's the latest promotional tie-in for Michaels, who covered Lionel Richie's 1981 US chart-topper with Diana Ross, "Endless Love", in a viral video for Nissan last year.

Allen died of cancer in March, aged 77. Before his passing he sent a message to the latest incarnation of his band, saying: "I am 100% behind you and I wish you huge success in every way you decide to measure that success. At last I am free to let go of it. It is up to you guys to carry it into unknown heights and depths, far beyond anything I could ever imagine myself."

The band say in a statement: "When it became clear that Daevid wouldn't tour again, we all decided it was imperative that Gong continued. It was Daevid's passionate wish.

"Directed by Henry Shepherd," explains guitarist Kim Thayil, "the work has otherwise never been available, or shown since, until now. Those who were in attendance, and attentive to the intro at a Soundgarden concert during this tour have been the only ones fortunate enough to view and hear 'Night Surf.'

"The song had never been released before, and now it is newly remastered for the 'Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across the Path' box set collection of non-album tracks, and rarities.

"The film had been buried in storage," adds the guitarist, "and only recently was it located, dusted off, and remastered for its debut here, online, or anywhere after 21 years!"

There are a lot of stories behind the release of Chain Reaction, about the writing process, video shooting etc etc... Since the first demos of this song we thought about putting a guest vocal on it and we immediately consider Cristian from Ill Nino. We are friends with those guys and we toured a lot together, so we felt honored.

I've personally wrote to Cristian without any particular expectation about his answer, but he was super excited to do it. So we recorded the first version of the song and meet the guys during their Italian show. We listened to the song together and everyone were so happy.

Cris recorded his vocal parts at his studio and they sound incredible. I was shaking while I've heard it the first time. Super stoked. We've shoot the video during November 2014.

It was a very cold night and we recorded all the playback parts in only ONE NIGHT! While some of us were recording, the others were sleeping in the van. From midnight till 9am. Endless process haha. The video looks amazing.

We didn't wanted that Cris' parts were recorded in a different location so the director Matteo Di Gioia had the idea to represent him as a ghost moving around us, all hand-drawn. It looks sick!

Even Cristian was so happy about everything. Everyone had so much fun and we'd put everything on this song!
