Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page Reveals Solo Album and Live Return Plans

The site says of the song "The solo on this track was recorded in one take on a Gibson ES-335 through Ed's Marshall. Ed was fooling around with some suggestions from Bruce Fairbairn, while unbeknownst to him, Bruce was taping his first attempt. Fairbairn decided he liked what he heard.

"A lot of thought went into the coin sound at the end of the song. Everyone crowded around the recording console where they dropped quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies until they got the perfect sound."

It follows two more serious crashes in the US last week, where The Ghost Inside's driver was killed and members of Hinder's party suffered broken bones.

"After further evaluation and continued treatment by his doctors, Gary Rossington is taking the remainder of 2015 off from touring to concentrate on recuperating from his recent heart procedures," said the band. "Lynyrd Skynyrd will be canceling or rescheduling the remaining two shows in Loveland, Colorado at the Budweiser Events Center on December 4 and Mescalero, NM at the Inn of Mountain Gods Casino on December 5.

"Full refunds will be provided at point of purchase or thru the box office. Lynyrd Skynyrd will commence touring in 2016 and looks forward to seeing the fans next year."

Rossington's daughter, Mary Elizabeth, broke the news of his health issue last month, saying "Dad had a heart attack. They went in to repair and unclog the two stents they did previously in the year which had a blood clot, added a third stent to one vein and in two weeks we will need to go in to do a fourth stent in one of his bypassed veins from 12 years ago."

Both his daughter and the band have issued statements saying that the guitarist is expected to make a full recovery. Rossington is the sole remaining founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, whose roots trace back to 1964 in Jacksonville, FL.

Last month, the group released "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'n�rd 'Skin'n�rd & Second Helping - Live From Jacksonville At The Florida Theatre" on DVD, Blu-ray and digital formats.

Smith played with Journey during their commercial peak from 1978 to 1985, and returned a decade later for a second stint from 1995-98. Through the years, Smith has appeared on several of Journey guitarist Neal Schon's solo albums, including 2012's "The Calling" and 2015's "Vortex."

The news follows the summer 2015 firing of Deen Castronovo after domestic violence charges stemming from a pair of arrests earlier this year in Salem, Oregon.

Castronovo eventually plead guilty to two counts of fourth-degree assault constituting domestic violence, two counts of menacing constituting domestic violence, unlawful use of a weapon and coercion. The drummer received a suspended sentence and four years of probation.

"We're honored that our hometown baseball team has invited us back yet again," says the band. "We'll all be on hand for Orange Friday, May 6, 2016 as the Giants take the field against the Colorado Rockies, and as always the night will kick off with the National Anthem and first pitch.

"We'll stick around all night to cheer on the orange and black with all the loyal fans and keep your eyes peeled to spot us participating in some in between inning action.

In part Dorio writes "I am beyond grateful that I was able to find a way out of the venue, but I am mourning those who did not, including our mate, Nick Alexander. My thoughts are with their families."

He continues, "To everyone who, in the face of unrelenting evil, went toe to toe using courage, compassion, and love as their weapons. You all are my heroes."

And in his review of Creed the movie, he isn't afraid to have a laugh at his band's expense. Stapp says: "This week I checked out a new film called Creed. I said to myself, 'Finally, the epic tale of my band Creed is coming to the big screen! As Creed the movie unfolded, there wasn't much that resembled what happened in Creed the band.

"The main character is played by Michael B Jordan. You know, interesting choice. I mean we don't look much alike, and that character's name is Creed, not Scott Stapp. But sometimes when I walk down the street people shout, 'What's up Creed.' So I guess I get."

Papa Roach say: "It is again with a heavy heart that we are announcing the postponement of the remainder of our European tour. We pride ourselves for rarely cancelling shows, but our crew is an essential part of our organisation and because they, unfortunately, could not continue the tour due to their logistical challenges and uncertainties, we could not either.

"We respect them and have had to accept their difficult choice to return home. We shall return next year. We will announce more details on rescheduling as soon as we are able to."

Shekoski reports: "I started working with The Used in January on a temporary basis and, in a nutshell, it has turned into something more serious. Their new guitar player, I am.

"I couldn't be more excited or feel more fortunate to travel and write music with this group of guys. Over the past year of touring, fans of The Used have treated me with an incredible amount of respect and love.

"In light of this news, after years of writing and waiting to produce a new record, some of the members of Saosin have decided to end our 13 year relationship for questionable reasons. This was a shock to me.

Slayer Bob, as he's known, originally lit his Southern California home with a light display set to Slayer's classic track Raining Blood in 2009. In the following years he added further Slayer tributes, but this year has turned his attention to Slipknot and Disturbed.

Anderson, 48, says she contracted the disease 20 years ago from Lee after sharing a tattoo needle with him. She tells ET: "Tommy did it first so he got cured first. He had a different kind of treatment because he did it a year earlier than me. And he was always pushing me, 'You got to do this.'"

While the majority of the former Beatle's treasures include artwork, there are a number of pieces that could pique a fan's interest, including Ringo's copy of the UK's first pressing of the White Album, numbered 'No. 0000001."

The tune - which originally appeared on 1974's "Stormbringer" - is featured on the group's 12th album, which sees frontman David Coverdale re-recording classic songs from the Deep Purple Mark 3 and Mark 4 records he appeared on, including 1974's "Burn" and "Stormbringer" and 1975's "Come Taste The Band."

"The Purple Album" debuted on the US charts earlier this year at No. 6 on the Top Current Hard Music Albums, No. 15 on Top Current Rock Albums, No. 43 on Top Current Albums and No. 84 on the Billboard Top 200 Charts.

Due February 19, the Australian band's fourth album sees sole original member vocalist/guitarist Andrew Stockdale take on bass duties while joined by drummers Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Bruce Springsteen, A Perfect Circle) and Joey Waronker (Air, Beck, REM).

Stockdale teamed up with Brendan O'Brien on the record and says he's thrilled with the work of the veteran producer. "Brendan's done a lot of sonic wizardry and messed around with stuff," he tells Billboard. "He's made it sound pretty big. It doesn't sound like it's in a cardboard box. Somehow he has that knowledge of spending thirty years in a studio."

Police figures reveal that nearly 3000 music and sports fans have lost �1.2m to ticket fraud in that period, with the average loss per person working out at �444 per transaction.

However, the BBC reports that the number of victims is likely to be much higher, as ticket fraud often goes unreported. Reg Walker of the Iridium Consultancy, which tackles ticket fraud, tells the BBC the true cost of ticket scams is in the tens of millions, but many people don't contact police because credit card companies usually refund their money. He adds: "Just because you get your money back, it doesn't mean to say that no crime has been committed and you're no longer a victim."

The national fraud and internet crime reporting centre, Action Fraud, agrees. They say: "Reported ticketing fraud losses run into millions of pounds, but the reality is the true scale of the problem is likely to be much greater.

Visconti tells Rolling Stone: "We wound up with nothing like that, but we loved the fact Kendrick was so open-minded and he didn't do a straight-up hip hop record. He threw everything on there, and that's exactly what we wanted to do. The goal, in many, many ways, was to avoid rock'n'roll."

Last week, Bowie released the sprawling title track from the album which originally clocked in at over 11 minutes. But Visconti reports they cut it back to 9 minutes 57 seconds as iTunes won't post singles over 10 minutes in length.

And he insists he'd have struggled if Def Leppard were starting out in 2015. He says: "I'm glad it wasn't around when we started, purely because it gave us more opportunity to concentrate on what we really wanted to be.

"It wasn't, like, 'We can't rehearse today because we've got to answer all these questions.' I think that actually is one of the reasons there aren't so many bands coming through the way that we did - they have other tasks they have to perform that we didn't.

"We learned to play our instruments, we learned to sing, we learned to write songs together, and that was our only focus. Once we got that down, and then if other stuff comes in, you can probably split your time and manage to do both.

Noisey reports a chance meeting between Lombardo and producer Ross Robinson last week sparked the idea for the project. And although they haven't recorded anything, Lombardo insists the ideas are flowing.

He says: "It's just straightforward brutal punk - metal-esque, but it's definitely not metal. I think it definitely leans more towards the punk style, because I feel that the way things are in the world, a punk attitude is definitely necessary to help you along with the sh*t that's going on.

A deluxe edition features Rainbow's Live In Tokyo DVD/CD, recorded at their show at the Budokan in 1984. It's housed in a 60-page hardback photo book.

The film features interviews with former Rainbow and Deep Purple man Blackmore, along with contributions from Brian May, Glenn Hughes, Lars Ulrich, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani, David Coverdale, Gene Simmons, Joe Lynn Turner, Steve Vai, Graham Bonnet, Ian Anderson and the late Jon Lord.

Thal says: "This song speaks for those that feel lost, betrayed, disillusioned, when we question all we believe in. When we start to lash out, and punish ourselves.

"This is a song about being in this place, in our own personal purgatory. We know we need to heal, but we're not ready to let go." The promo was directed by Vojan Koceic and was filmed at 12 locations across three countries, including the Fortress Of Klis and the Diocletian Palace in Croatia - sites used in HBO TV series Game Of Thrones.

They'll head out on the road in October following their previously announced run of North American dates. It'll be their first major tour of the continent since 2008 when they toured in support of their last studio album 4:13 Dream.

Each album comes on three CDs and is packaged in a hardback book featuring 48-pages of illustrations, artwork, photos and extensive sleeve notes written by Fish. These detail the stories behind the lyrics, the writing and recording sessions, the tours and band lineups.

A few years ago I taught myself how to play piano after years of writing songs on guitar, I had no real interest in mastering the instrument or performing it on stage I just wanted to use it as a tool to get back to basics writing wise.

I found that by writing on an instrument I didn't have much experience with it forced me to work with simple chord structures in a way I hadn't for years, it felt childlike and as a knock on effect my melodies and words seemed to blossom and take centre stage as there was little to compete with musically in the early stages of an idea.

One writing trait that has remained constant in my work is the use of instrumental melodic hooks (mostly played on effected electric guitars), they are present in much of Asylums work and the work I have done outside of the band. By writing on piano I was able to develop these melodic hooks and chord structures in tandem for the first time while still being able to create vocal melody, I found it liberating and fresh.

In the first 3 months of writing this way I produced a huge amount of material including our previous single 'Joy In A Small Wage' and 'Missing Persons'

A lot of Asylums material is not particularly personal lyrically, I tend to hide my emotions for the most part and concentrate on other subjects in the media, advertising and technology. Missing Persons is not that way, it is a very personal song.

It's clear to me now but it wasn't clear while I was writing that 'Missing Persons' is a song about pursuing the artists life and all that comes with it in present day. It draws on my own experiences and those of my creative friends and communities. It touches on isolation, self-loathing, joy, depression, elation, hope, community; all of these themes seemed to ooze out of me while I was working on the music which for the most part sounds upbeat but with a tinge of melancholy.

I wrote about 20 versions of the lyrics and when it came to finishing the final draft I chose to cut out each individual line and re arrange the text keeping the stuff I liked, thusly some of the words are taken out of context. I personally like the effect the cut up technique gives when used in this way, it creates mystery's for the listener and for me.

As I was putting together the initial demos for Asylums I was listening to a lot of underground and cult guitar music, stuff like Pavement, Teenage Fanclub, Mogwai, Fugazi, Sebadoh, Slint because it was this music that inspired me to be a songwriter, singer and guitarist in the first place. As I said at the start I was trying to get back to basics, to rediscover what exited me about music and art and I just love those loose and exciting guitar performances and experimental sounds.

I decided to take some of my favourite piano demos like 'Missing Persons' and re contextualise them in this style by adding wild guitars bass and drum ideas. I erased the piano and reverted back to the electric guitar as the main focus and expressive instrument. All the elements of Missing Persons worked seamlessly in this style and through the metamorphosis it look on a heavier but more anthemic feel.

When I emailed my demos to the guys in the band it was an instant favourite, each member came to my flat separately to work on developing and personalising the parts, adding their own unique feel. The first time we played it in a room together it sounded finished to all of us, an amazing feeling for sure.

I think the end result is one of our best live songs and a solid fan favourite.
