Blues Legend B.B. King Dead At 89

Page wasn't pleased about changes to his beloved neighborhood, and wrote a letter to the council estate. 'I have been responsible for the protection of the Tower House for over 40 years and I am always concerned when proposals are made for nearby properties which may be detrimental to the well-being of this important heritage asset," he stated.

Now, NME reports that Page has filed a new brief against Williams to prevent him from changing the home, which was constructed in the 1870s by famed architect William Bruges.

"I'm not about to take on the might of the Guns N' Roses lawyers," Reyne said to Australia's Daily Mail (via Ultimate Classic Rock.) "It is not inconceivable that there are similarities between the two songs. It's also not inconceivable that they wouldn't have been aware of certain Australian songs."

Reyne went on to recall that the Guns N' Roses song didn't make much of an impression on him the first time he heard it. "I didn't think, 'Oh my God.' I didn't really listen to the song," he said.

"We have 15 tracks - 13 originals and two cover songs," Mustaine tells Rolling Stone. "We did 'Melt the Ice Away' by Budgie and 'Foreign Policy' by Fear. At this point, the drums are all done and Chris is back home.

"Kiko finished all his rhythms and he's now doing solos. He's an amazing musician, very well-rounded. He did a lot of acoustic stuff, both steel-string and nylon-string, and he played a little piano at the end of a song called 'Poisonous Shadows.' It's a really haunting piece, and the part that he played is very Chopin-meets-Megadeth, if that makes sense."

Mustaine also revealed a few song titles, as well, for the follow-up to 2013's "Super Collider." "There's a song called 'The Emperor Has No Clothes,' and another called 'Tyranocide'," he says. "Several have working titles but I don't want to say what they are. After we write the lyrics they'll come."

Megadeth's storied past also seems to have also crept into the vibe of the project, according to Mustaine. "Over the years we've always said, 'We're going back to our roots'," he explains. "But the naysayers, they just want 'Rust In Peace' 20 times, which is never gonna happen. Because I've never written the same song twice.

Vedder's appearance comes in the final week of broadcasts by Letterman, who will deliver his farewell program on Wednesday, May 20 after more than three decades in late night.

Tyler performed the tune on the day of its release, before teasing a snippet of "Walk This Way" as a segue to a cover of Janis Joplin's "Piece Of My Heart" with third place contestant Jax.

Tyler has been in Nashville since January working with songwriters on material for his debut solo album on Big Machine Records' affiliated label Dot Records.

Whereas his first two were very much about him: How to Be a Man features different chapters of advice, taking stories from his time in Guns, Velvet Revolver, Walking Papers, the Kings of Chaos and as a solo artist; his first book, It's So Easy: And Other Lies was his memoirs.

But his next one will focus on a legendary band of which he counts himself as a fan and friend. "I hope [How to Be a Man] is just my second book in a string of 10," he tells Radio.com. "I actually hope to write the Alice in Chains book next."

Classic Rock Revisited: There are two sad things that come from this. All of the fans, including me, want to see you on that drum stool. The other sad thing is that Ozzy and you were always close, but this is really f***ing everything up between you.

Bill: Definitely. I love him and I miss him. I grieved his loss in 2012. I went through absolute murder, emotionally, with him saying the things he was saying. I was absolutely gob smacked, I couldn't believe it was somebody that I had known for so many years. It was really horrible going through that.

I don't dislike Oz. I don't have any animosity, or any revenge, and I am not seeking to be better than him, or anything like that. I am not trying to be right in these things in terms of "You are wrong and I am right." I am simply stating the facts and asking for an amendment of the facts, as they stand. It is very matter of fact with me. It is actually quite simple.

I am really saddened that all of the Ozzy fans and all of the Bill fans are all upset. All the Ozzy fans f***ing hate me. There is a lot of controversy. We try to keep an open mind to all of the fans and all of the interested parties. We are very concerned, my team, we are very concerned about the way these things are handled. We are very concerned about the people who dislike me, but they have every right to dislike me. I actually support them in their right to dislike me and they are entitled to their opinions. I don't necessarily agree with them that I am an a**hole, but if they want to call me an a**hole I will support their right to do that. I've got no axe to grind with anybody. I am at peace in this. I offered a real pathway. I just did it a couple of weeks ago.

CRR: Has there been any talks other than Ozzy's public reply?

Bill: Absolutely not. They found it offensive. I had no expectations. The thing that I needed to do was to write down and tell the public the things that I require and that these are the things that happened to me. I don't expect everyone to understand because they didn't walk the walk with me. I walked the walk through this and some of my family members did as well. It felt very sinister and not very nice at all. I had to rebuke that. I had to say, "That wasn't really nice. Before we move forward and before we are all happy families, let's get some things straightened out." It is what any family would do. When somebody comes in and f***ing sh*ts all over the place you go, "Hey, clean that sh*t up and then maybe we can talk."

CRR: Have you had any contact with Tony or Geezer?

Bill: Tony emailed me and I emailed Tony only a few weeks ago. Geezer, I have not spoken to for about five months. I haven't said a word to Ozzy, not one single thing.

CRR: My gut feeling is that this is not going to work out. I hope I am wrong.

Bill: I've put these things out into the universe and whether they are going to be received through the universe, or whether they will be received through ego I don't know. If they are received through ego then they will fail. If they receive these things with understanding and with an open mind there is every possibility this could succeed.

Available in 2CD/DVD, Blu-ray and Digital formats - with vinyl to follow at a later date - the package presents material from the band's August 12, 2014 show at the Ikeda Theater in Mesa, AZ.

The lineup of Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes and Jon Davison were on the road at the time playing dates in support of their 21st album, "Heaven & Earth."

"That evening in Mesa, Arizona was a great one," says Squire. "The audience was fantastic; they loved the music and really made it a very special night for us. And we were in top form. The music sounded great and we could have played all night.

"Like It Is brings the magic and wonderful music of that evening to fans everywhere, and we're sure they'll enjoy listening to it as much as we did performing it."

It's the latest Instagram footage from the bassist as the group works through possible setlist songs at Eddie's 5150 studios. Wolfgang has previously posted footage of the never-before performed "1984" album track "Drop Dead Legs", "Little Guitars" from 1982's "Diver Down" and "Light Up The Sky" from 19879's "Van Halen II" ... as well as "Dirty Movies" from 1981's "Fair Warning" and "In A Simple Rhyme" from 1980's "Women And Children First."

Fans will find out which songs made the final cut when Van Halen launch a North American tour in Seattle on July 5 in support of "Tokyo Dome Live In Concert", their first live release with David Lee Roth.

He says: "I'll be home for four days before Motley plays a couple of festivals in Europe, then back to America and into the studio with Sixx AM before Motley starts our final American tour."

They split the following year but reformed briefly in 1994 under the moniker Lucifer's Friend II for their ninth album Sumo Grip. They disbanded shortly after.

Taylor writes in Kerrang: "There's not a day goes by that I don't think about him. When I'm on the road, the live shows bring back our times together. When I'm home, this house and the pictures in it remind me of good times and bad.

"When I'm listening to music, I think about the two of us, cranking new and old tunes in his car or mine, rocking out like little kids and giggling because the stuff is so awesome."

Located in the city of Nakatsu, the Beatles Museum will house thousands of items, including a piano played by John Lennon and a Japanese "happi" coat worn by Lennon during the band's 1966 visit.

Gillan says via Something Else "We used to be pretty loud, but I think the focus has changed now. The impact of sheer volume was one thing that used to get written up about. The equipment now is so sophisticated, you can have volume without pain.

They previously announced their seventh studio album follows the travels of a man in a coma in search of a better life. And frontman Tommy Rogers says the video further explains the concept.

He reports: "This video is special to me because it looks beyond the story that is on the record. It showcases the character preparing for his journey and is him basically saying bye to his old demons/life.

They'll be followed by Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982), No Jacket Required (1985), �But Seriously (1989), Dance Into The Light (1996), Testify (2002) and Going Back (2010).

Buckley says: "Brandon is currently fulfilling a residency at Comedy Central as their head writer and director for digital one-offs. Me and Brandon are also working on several other projects. This is my official statement. I f***ing hate talking about myself."

In March, the band's Brian 'Head' Welch reported they would take a few months off and spend the rest of the year recording their 12th album - the follow-up to 2013's The Paradigm Shift.

Lips tells Classic Rock's Dave Ling: "Sad to say that, in America at least, it's become virtually non-existent. That really distresses me. A lot of metal is extraordinary in a technical sense but just so un-musical that you can barely listen to it. It's a guy yelling and screaming into a microphone with no sense of melody. It's just noise.

Wood tells NME: "One regret I have, going back through this diary, is that I can't remember what a lot of my girlfriends looked like years ago. I don't regret the drinking. I drank for Britain until I got sober five years ago. That was a learning curve I had to go through - but not remembering the wonderful girls is a regret."

She tells Albany's Q103: "It was amazing. It's weird to go over there and see how much things have grown. There's such a huge rock fanbase over there - it's still a lifestyle. There's still a classic rock genre over there. Seriously, it's amazing.

The follow-up to 2011's _Gold Cobr_a has been in the works for three years, but no firm release date has ever been mentioned. The singer says on Twitter: "Recording in Hamburg, Germany, for the next few weeks Stampede style."

The run will see Extreme playing the album in its entirety alongside with a greatest hits set. The band's second album, "Extreme II: Pornograffitti (A Funked Up Fairy Tale)", put Extreme on the map; it featured two hit singles, "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted", both acoustic-based numbers�while most of the album was a mix of hard rock and funk.

Vocalist Diego Marchesi tells Prog: "The Moth seemed the obvious choice for first single. It's short, busy and catchy, and shows also some new ingredients to our sound."

The band were inspired to contact Radiohead collaborator Gaston Vinas after they saw his video for 2+2=5. Marchesi says: "I told Gaston how much I appreciated his art. He wrote back that he loved Kingcrow - and that's how it started.

The Lion and the Jester was a song that was inspired by recent events and deals with the topic of religious extremism and religious warfare in general. While writing this song, it became very apparent to us how lucky we are to be from such a beautiful country like Canada. We felt obligated to write this song for those people suffering at the hands of "religious warfare."

Although the lyrics were inspired by horrific news events, we have certain memories where the music itself inspired the words and themes of the track. For instance, during the mid section of the song there is an obvious "waltz" rhythm throughout. Dancing is a very unique and creative form of expression; we capitalized on this waltz pattern to form a lyrical theme that created a very important metaphor. In the pre-chorus there is a lyric that says "come here and share this dance with me". This is truly a beautiful way of saying to an extremist, come here and look at what you're doing through my eyes, and the eyes of the suffering. It's an attempt to put the harm doer in the shoes of another soul and to see if they feel any empathy at all. Although none of the members of the band are particularly religious we all felt invested in this topic.

Recording the music video was extremely intense and a long process. It took us over two months to dress the video location and three days to shoot our scenes. We even had neighbors threaten to call the police because we were shooting scenes very late at night and had no choice but to blast the song!
In addition to the theme of dancing a waltz, we made a conscious choice to explore the theme of "things of beauty being destroyed." We have this belief that all religions are beautiful and their messages are meant to inspire goodness; it is corrupt human beings who are twisting the words and these stories which ultimately leads to the staining of religion as a whole. In the video we show scenes of a beautiful flower shriveling and dying, a violinist playing to sheets of burning music, and our physical set slowly being destroyed as pieces and artifacts are smashed on the floor.

Once the video was shot, it took us close to four months to edit; quite a painful but rewarding process! After finishing the project we contacted the Canadian Red Cross and asked to see if they would let us support their efforts by donating half our profits to them for a three month campaign. We are very grateful that they accepted our request and have been running our donation campaign since April 29, 2015. All members can proudly say that we did everything we could to make our message come to life and hopefully impact people in way where they will try and help make a difference as well!
