Beatles Cavern Club Recording Unearthed

The new self-titled album is set to be released on November 27th. The new album will also be released nearly a month early on October 30th via a Classic Rock fanpack that will feature the album, an exclusive bonus track, 116-magazine and more.

Guitarist Phil Collen talked to Classic Rock about the new song. "When we started recording, the guitars were a little lightweight," he said. "We decided they needed to be way more aggressive and nasty. So that was the second coat of paint, if you like - we replaced some of the stuff we'd done earlier and just made it way more violent and aggressive.

Classic Rock reports: Current guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer wear the Spaceman and Catman designs after the original members handed over the rights.

Stanley tells 4KQ: "The guys basically sold it off for, you know, not a whole lot, because they didn't think it was worth anything. Quite honestly I've always thought our image and what we represent is priceless. It didn't matter to some people - it truly matters to me."

In Italy this past week for a series of shows on the band's European trek in support of 2014's Bloodstone & Diamonds, Flynn and a friend took a tour of the Vatican Museum and the Chapel, the ceiling of which was famously painted by Michelangelo in the early 1500s.

The singer shared the experience in a lengthy Facebook post and his online tumblr diary, The General Journals. Flynn writes: "The Sistine Chapel is a must-see-before-you-die type thing. So, of course I had to document it and bring my video camera. The guards didn't stop me one bit as I filmed everywhere and as I entered the Sistine Chapel I was journaling myself walking and taking you guys through what I was doing.

"In the midst of doing so, it was then that a guard warned me in broken english, 'No camera.' Of course I disregarded him. I don't know what it is with me but when someone tells me not to do something that I want to do, that 'f*** you' button gets hit. So I just hung the camera around my neck and kept filming."

The two were listening to Canadian rock duo Death From Above 1979 perform live at Third Man Records, White's recording studio that also serves as a store, lounge and offices for the record label.

The sighting readdressed rumors that began as early as 2009 about White working with the Rolling Stones on their first studio album since 2005's A Bigger Bang. Rolling Stone pursued news that White had recorded some tracks with Keith Richards.

Classic Rock had these details: Peters recovered from lymph cancer in 1996 and beat chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2005, but the Welsh musician tells fans in a lengthy Facebook posting that the cancer has returned.

Peters writes: "I'm sorry to have to write that during the summer on June 23, following an incredibly successful Snowdon Rocks event, I was found to have relapsed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. At the regular consultation with Dr Edwards, my blood count had doubled and shown an aggression not seen in my previous medical history.

"Obviously, it came as a massive shock, especially as I was feeling super fit and about to undertake six nights on Broadway in New York, followed closely by the Strength North American Tour."

The band posted the following message on their official website last Thursday, "It is with great sadness that we have to tell you that our dear friend and colleague Simon Cowe has died yesterday, 30th September.

"Simon had been ill for some time, and was being cared for in hospital in Toronto, a city he had made his home since the early nineties. At the moment we don't have the words to express how we feel. Our thoughts are with his children Jessie, Dylan, and Bernadette."

According to Classic Rock, Cowe was part of the lineup formed under the name Brethren in 1968, and played guitar, mandolin, banjo and keyboards until his departure in 1973, when he formed Jack The Lad with colleagues Rod Clements and Ray Laidlaw.

King says: "I went there last year, and I was surprisingly amazed. It was awesome. I thought I'd be there for like 40 minutes. I spent three and a half hours. The stuff in there is amazing. It's way cooler than I ever imagined it would have been. It is really cool."

The visit made the guitarist consider Slayer's place in the institution, given their history as thrash pioneers and Metallica's 2009 induction. He says: "I'm not making a ploy to get in, but it makes me think, 'Man, I hope they call my name one of these days.' I think it took them a long time to get Metallica in there. But Metallica basically opens the door for us, because when you think of metal who do you think of next from that generation?

Silveria has been upset with his former colleagues for several years, and launched a lawsuit against them earlier this year after claiming his 2006 departure had meant to be a temporary move - until they wouldn't let him return.

He later revealed he'd sent them an "impassioned plea" to be allowed to come back to the band he co-founded, but his bid had been rejected. Last week Munky said he wanted the next album to "solidify our legacy."

"We were toying with changing the name of the band," Hawkins tells Chris Jericho on the latest edition of his Talk Is Jericho podcast. "It's a slightly controversial maneuver at this point. But I don't know, we might have to run a competition on Facebook to change the name though. We thought about doing it for this album, because it does feel like it's a new, what you might call a return to form, but there's something different about it now.

"I think maybe it's because we had a couple of personnel changes in the last year. It's different and feels like it's rejuvenated. I mean it obviously would be career suicide to throw everything away, everything that we've built up over the years, but there's no reason we wouldn't be able to rebuild."

Last fall, The Darkness parted ways with longtime drummer Ed Graham; he was replaced by Emily Dolan Davies for the recording of their fourth album, "Last Of Our Kind", but she left the lineup prior to the project's release, and the group brought in Rufus Taylor, son of Queen legend Roger.

Released as Harpo's debut solo track in 1957, the song was overtaken by the popularity of its b-side, I'm A King Bee, and traded a-side places on a single which went on to become a influential classic in its own right for the Louisiana bluesman.

Got Love If You Want It follows Gibbons' lead single, a cover of rockabilly singer Roy Head's 1965 hit Treat Her Right. Produced by Gibbons and Joe Hardy, Perfectamundo was recorded in Houston, Los Angeles, Austin and Pontevedra, Spain.

The Cuban music-inspired project was sparked by an invitation to perform at the 2014 Havana Jazz Festival and, while Gibbons was unable to attend, the concept inspired the ZZ Top guitarist to begin work in his Houston studio.

Three songs in, the guitarist hooked up with musical collaborator Martin Guigui as well as Chino Pons, a Cuban friend who heads his own quartet in New York.

Running January 8-23, "Peace, Love And Creedence" will see Fogerty extend his "1969" summer tour show by performing music from the three albums he released that year with CCR, including "Bayou Country", "Green River" and "Willy And The Poor Boys."

"Peace, love and Vegas!," says Fogerty. "I'm excited to be coming to The Venetian and bringing my '1969' show for you all. "We are going to be rockin' my Creedence Clearwater Revival songs along with many more.

hennemusic reports: Henley's fifth solo set had opening week sales of 89,000 copies, according to Billboard. The project also scores No. 1 slots on both the Top Album Sales chart and the Top Country Albums chart.

The Eagles star's first solo release in 15 years sees him joined by special guests including Mick Jagger, Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert and Merle Haggard.

Garcia will be performing songs acoustically from throughout his career on the European trek, which starts in the Netherlands on December 1. As well as his work with Kyuss and his solo efforts, Garcia has sang with Vista Chino, Hermano, Unida and Slo Burn.

The group's first live set was filmed on the band's 2014 Magic Mountain tour at the LG Arena in Birmingham, England - and will be issued on the first anniversary of the concert.

Drummer John Fred Young says: "Thank you to everyone who stuck with us over the years and who came out and made this night such a special memory for us. This is for you."

The new song stream follows a lyric video for the lead single, I Am The Virus, as the second track issued in advance of the album's release via Spinefarm Records.

Produced in the UK and Prague by the band and Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood), Pylon is the third project issued by the group's original lineup of singer Jaz Coleman, guitarist Kevin 'Geordie' Walker, bassist Martin 'Youth' Glover and drummer Paul Ferguson since their 2008 reunion following the death of longtime bassist Paul Raven.

Glover says: "It's stark, brutal industrial suicide. It's the third in a tryptich of albums - Absolute Dissent, MMXII and now Pylon. We remain genre-blind so our music will always cover a vat spectrum of influences, from disco right through to heavy metal and beyond."

Soord says: "I spent the most part of the summer locked in my studio creating this record, which turned into a huge labour of love. I am very proud of what it became.

"We shot the cover and booklet at various locations throughout my home town of Yeovil. I spent my formative years in this town - the second track on the album Buried Here is about exactly that."

He continues: "While the songs describe a sense of the past that has been lost, it is also a celebration of this wonderful and artistically decaying town that created me. But all's not lost - there is still a shimmer of sound here."

The Blues has these details: Walker believes that, while the 11 tracks present a new aspect to his work, it still contains the nuts and bolts of his trademark approach.

Walker says: "Sometimes I feel I've learned more from my failures than from my success. But that's made me stronger and more adventurous, and helped me create my own style.

The Blues reports that the box set features material originally released on 20 different labels containing nearly 100 tracks from across his career. It comes with a 32-page booklet containing commentary from Mavis Staples, Keb' Mo', Elvin Bishop, Leon Huff and others.

"It's a harmony laden boogie about being disillusioned," say the band. "The performance was shot at Staincross Working Man's Club just outside of Barnsley and then the other scenes were done in the surrounding area. David Pickering directed the video and did a fantastic job. It's basically an updated take on the Sweeney and programs of that ilk in which we are wanted, much like the A-Team, for a crime that we didn't commit."

The video also features actor George Newton, a star of the Shane Meadows drama This Is England, as a knife-wielding maniac attempting to hunt down the band.

The guitar icon will perform at the 300-capacity Mr Kyps in Poole, Dorset, on November 1 - 10 years on from the night he made his UK live debut in front of just 100 people. He now regularly plays to sold-out arenas around the world, but wanted to fulfil a promise he made to return.

The new preview follows the video for their track Mob Mentality, featuring Sevendust's Lajon Witherspoon, the Moscow Studio Symphony Orchestra and ballet dancers Kyla Ernts-Alper and Wade Watson.

The lineup of Abbath and God Seed man King ov Hell and third member Creature will release Count The Dead as a limited-edition vinyl single on December 11.

Available to pre-order, the limited-edition 7" single will be backed by a cover of Judas Priest's 1982 Screaming For Vengeance track Riding On The Wind.

Earle said in July: "He wrote every song that's a big deal. Every form of the post-war alleged blues is based on one Robert Johnson song or another. And it's absolutely the truth. He's every bit the father of the modern genre."

This song was conceived at a time when we were playing every single gig we could find. It was the end of summer 2013 and we just wanted to really get going and grow our presence in the South Florida scene. It was hot, muggy, and raining all the time and we were schlepping all our gear to our shows.

We had ourselves a gig. It was one of those things when someone asked us if we would be down to play this 2 day festival at Churchill's in Miami. Churchill's is a famous dive bar and has been there since 1979. It's pretty much Miami's CBGB's. The place itself is not that bad but you wouldn't want to take your mom there to use the toilet.

We get there and we know how it goes. At Churchill's, it's every man/woman/band & beer for themselves, but this night was really one that stood out for all the wrong reasons. The "promoter" and "sound engineer" were nowhere to be seen and all the other annoying bad things that could possibly happen with the other bands did happen. Finally our slot time comes and the band before us just kept on playing like they were headlining Glastonbury. Finally I had had it and I went looking for this "Promoter". I found her at the back bar, drunk and babbling nonsense. After seeing this and being there all night we decided to leave. We never played, we wasted our time, and I left that place boiling with indignation.

The following morning I was still very upset from the disrespect experienced and I had to let it out somehow. I grabbed my acoustic bass, sat down on the couch and uttered the opening melody for "Cry Of War". By noon I had recorded the whole initial idea of the song with vocals, some basic drum loops, and some guitar.

"Cry of War" is a song about going after what you believe in with all your strength and pursuing your dreams no matter what obstacles present themselves. The song is written in first person singular during the first verse and it changes to first person plural during the second verse because I'm referring to all of us in the band and including you, the listener, as part of this battle to succeed in our mission (and/or whatever your dreams in life are).

It also touches on what rock n roll is to me - A giant horse made out of electricity riding on a cloud of smoke. This is also my allegory for THE VON on stage. We give it our all and love doing so. "Cry of War" is the fastest song on the upcoming album and one that definitely transmits the energy I felt the morning after that bad night.

Don't let them put you down, conquer what you're after with a loud Cry of War!
