The event is set to take place on November 3rd at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles and will benefit Rhonda's Kiss, which is a charity that helps cancer patients that can not afford treatment.

The concert will be lead by The Hellcat Saints, a collective formed by Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner. Apart from Idol and the former Guns N' Roses stars, the lineup of the band for this event will also include Jane's Addiction's Dave Navarro, Juliette Lewis, Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, and pop star Kesha.

Kushner had this to say about the reason for the event, "Many people close to us have been touched personally by cancer, as I know first-hand, as the two most important women in my life have been affected cancer. I believe that, regardless of our backgrounds, access to treatment to beat this disease should be available to everyone."

Cooper made a surprise appearance at a signing event at the city's Good Records for bassist Dennis Dunaway's new book, "Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!: My Adventures in the Alice Cooper Group."

Along with original guitarist Michael Bruce, drummer Neal Smith and current Cooper guitarist Ryan Roxie, the lineup delivered an 8-song set of classic tracks, that included "Caught in A Dream", "Be My Lover", "I'm Eighteen", "Is It My Body", "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "Under My Wheels", "School's Out" and "Elected."

The event allows musicians of all levels to learn from and perform alongside bona fide rock stars. The 2016 event marks the 20th anniversary of the camp and takes place from February 11 to 14.

Participants will have the opportunity to meet and jam with Iommi, Vai, Black Label Society man Wylde, The Allman Brothers collaborator Warren Haynes and ELP drummer Carl Palmer. It will culminate with performance at the Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip.

Referring to the passage in her autobiography Reckless, Hynde said she took responsibility for the incident, adding: "If I'm walking around in my underwear and I'm drunk, who else's fault can it be?"

That led to a flood of negative comments, including rape victim Jackie Fox, formerly of the Runaways, who said: "This is just telling people who've gone through this experience, 'You're right, it is your fault.'"

Now Hynde tells NPR: "I'm not going to describe it because I've written about it in the book. But what I can say is, I never said I was raped. I've never used the word and it's not in the book."

She adds: "I'm just telling my story. You know, it's almost like a lynch mob. I'd rather say, 'Just don't buy the f***ing book, if I've offended someone. Don't listen to my records.'

Rattle That Lock" was recorded at various places, including Gilmour's Astoria houseboat studio and in Hove, Sussex, UK. The guitarist worked on the project with co-producer Phil Manzanera and wife and lyricist Polly Samson.

Gilmour launched a world tour in support of the record with a September 5 warm-up show in Brighton, UK before playing a sold-out 11-date European tour that included five shows at The Royal Albert Hall in London.

In a fresh video update, Reavis explains he's glad it's over and that the disagreements are no longer his "problem." Reavis says: "It's over and I'm so relieved. I'm at home with my family. For the first time in a long time, I don't feel a burden of Mushroomhead, and it did feel like a burden to me. It's not my burden, it's not my problem any more, and I'm glad it's gone."

He adds that he wishes the band well going forward, but admits he was unhappy for some time. He says: "I was planning this - it just happened a little sooner than I thought it would. I really wasn't happy. I hadn't been in a while.

"I have not been there in a while. I've been checked out. I've been doing my own thing. My heart wasn't there. My soul wasn't there. My time in Mushroomhead had run its course.

According to the band, they recorded the new 10-track effort with The Black Keys star at Dan Auerbach's private studio, Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, this past spring.

Frontman Matt Shultz had this to say, "With this record, we wanted to be more transparent. We wanted to capture the sentiment of each song, and whatever emotional response it provoked, to be really honest to that."

Along with the full live show, the package comes bundled with a feature-length documentary and a 20-minute film showcasing the making of 2009 album Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da - their last studio release.

Calculating Infinity (1999), Miss Machine (2004) and Ire Works (2007) will be launched on November 27 in a variety of colors - and all three can now be pre-ordered. All pressings come with additional digital download codes.

Dillinger guitarist Ben Weinman, who set up Party Smasher Inc so musicians, illustrators, photographers and designers could share ideas, recently revealed the band were six songs into their sixth album.

Megadeth UK will be joined by the real band in a night arranged by the British branch of the Megadeth Cyber Army, as part of its annual convention.

Speaking to Metal Hammer about the new song, drummer Josh Eppard says: "Eraser embodies the music we grew up on better than any other Coheed song to date.

Dun tells the Houston Press: "We've both always wanted to be a part of something that has some sort of impact on the world. There's a lot of music that doesn't say or do much.

"And that's OK - there's a time and place for it, and I listen to a lot of it too. But, at the same time, there are people who are looking for something a bit more than that."

You might think it's an odd fit for the Golden God winning metalhead, but speaking to Metal Hammer, Kobi says that he has always been a huge fan of Cohen - "having this rearranged version is a dream come true, and time wise it fits perfectly our acoustic tour."

The Zappa matriarch was born Adelaide Gail Sloatman. She married the avante-garde rocker Frank Zappa when she was 22. According to a statement released by the Zappa family, "Gail was a doe-eyed, barefooted trailblazer, giving equal value to her domestic and professional responsibilities as matriarch of the family and overseer of all Zappa enterprises. She devoted herself to partnering with her husband in the music business and raising their children, Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva."

No Man's Land - which features guitarist Steve Morse - focuses on the story of a World War I runner, who passes messages between generals and men in the trenches. Sherwood says: "You get the idea that he's the only guy who walked away from the battle."

Braide recently said of the new album which arrives on November 6 via Cherry Red Records, "It's an album about isolation and loneliness in small-town suburbia.

The award-winning Canadian trio released Moon Turn Red last month, as the follow-up to 2013's All Frequencies. Marriner tells the Ottawa Citizen: "A lot of people's reality is that it's a day-to-day struggle. But just writing another moaning record isn't doing anyone any good.

"A lot of these songs and stories are designed to be uplifting. I came up with complaining lyrics - but wanted something to make the hippies dance at festivals. Sometimes the word 'love' is all you need. Everyone loves love."

The pop punk outfit will play five dates in February of next year, with support from State Champs, Creeper and Light Years. Neck Deep issued second album Life's Not Out To Get You in August.

Neck Deep frontman Ben Barlow says: "These UK dates will be awesome. It's going to be the first time we get to play a lot of material from LNOTGY live on our home turf, and we are super stoked on the supports.

He tells Mitch Lafon: "I get inspired by everything I hear and see from my life in general. The more mileage you have, the more experience and more stuff you have to write about. The songs are mainly about personal experiences. I actually feel pretty happy. I've never been complacent.

"Some people say you have to suffer for good art. I've suffered enough. I've got enough character - I don't need to build any more character. You don't have to really be in dire straits to write a good song."

She'd hoped to set a new world record - but the previous one, in which a peace sign was created by over 5000 people, remains. Lennon, who released peace anthem Imagine in 1978, was born on October 9, 1940, and shot dead on December 8, 1980.
