Dee Snider Calls Out Vince Neil, Scorpions and Judas Priest

Stinson, who was a part of his own reunion with The Replacements, had the following to say to The Current about a classic Guns N' Roses reunion, "I'll be perfectly honest with you, man. I hope they do because when you go back to where you started from and just check that out, and feel that for a moment after you've gone on and done all these other things, you know, there's a reward that comes with that, and I had that with the [Replacements]. It's a good thing; it's a good thing to do once in a while. And I hope it works out for 'em, if it actually happens."

He was also asked about the status of the current lineup, which hasn't performed together since April of last year. Stinson was reluctant to discuss the issue but blamed the inactivity on his other commitments and not any politics within Guns N Roses.

"I don't really want to talk about on air cause what happened with it, it has nothing to do with Axl [Rose] or any of that stuff. It had more to do with my personal situation. Basically, I played my last gig in Las Vegas with them and had to come home and tend to that the best I could while the Replacements were kinda being offered up.

"It has that swaggering, mid-tempo rhythm, like 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and 'Rock Of Ages'," Elliott tells Rolling Stone. "The idea was, we wanted something familiar. I mean, when AC/DC comes back after years away, you're not going to get 'Bohemian Rhapsody' from 'em, you know? And you don't want it, either - you want 'Back In Black,' or something like it. For us, this is what we do. And it's something we enjoy doing.

"It's a call to arms, you know? Rick Savage wrote 80 percent of the song. I wrote the verses, he wrote all the music and the choruses. He came in with it, and we knew it was a classic Def Leppard song."

King told the Artisan News Service, "I love the imagery � I just hate the f-ing music � I wanna like 'em, I just can't." He added, "I know Ghost is hugely popular, and I'm very happy for their popularity, and like I said, the nicest guys you'll ever meet. It's just not my music, and I've tried so hard."

One of Ghost's Nameless Ghouls was asked about King's comments in a video interview with Metal Injection (via Loudwire) and responded, "I don't even think that what he said was negative. He just said that he didn't like the band, that he didn't like the music. And you know, we're not for everybody. We've never tried to please everybody, so I didn't even see the negative element in what he said."

According to Le Journal de Quebec, the beer will be available on Sept. 28 and available in cans, coming in cases of 15 and 24. Labatt will produce over 91-thousand black Budweiser cans, featuring lightning bolts, a nod to the band's 1984 album Ride The Lightning.

The first night of each pair will include a performance of 2005 album Hours, while the second will feature 2003 debut Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation.

Available in single-disc CD, CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray combos, and even a 2-LP vinyl, the deluxe edition features remixed audio including new stereo mixes and mixes in 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS HD surround audio.

Equally exciting for fans, the deluxe edition combo packs feature numerous promotional videos, many of which have not been made available for purchase before. Via Ultimate Classic Rock, "An 18-person team of film and video technicians and restoration artists was assembled by Apple Corps to undertake painstaking frame-by-frame cleaning, color-grading, digital enhancement and new edits that took months of dedicated, 'round-the-clock work to accomplish."

Now he's put off the shows he'd scheduled for the UK and Europe in October and November. A statement says: "We are incredibly disappointed that the dates are being postponed indefinitely, but Tony needs to focus completely on his recovery at this time.

Asked if Puscifer's sense of humor takes a back seat to make way for heavier themes on Money Shot, Keenan tells Rolling Stone: "I can see how someone would think that, but I see the humor all the way through it, even in the heavier tracks.

"On our earlier stuff, we completely separated it - Cuntry Boner over here, and then Indigo Children over here. Here, they've been integrated more. It's like a fine wine that's been ageing in a large cask for two years, instead of being right out of the press and into the bottle."

Keenan adds that he hopes the album will inspire some listeners to be better people. He says: "I feel like we really are far removed from social responsibility - and spiritual responsibility. So all you can really do is just try to be a better person every day, try to improve yourself every day, and your perspective on the world.

The cover of rockabilly singer Roy Head's 1965 hit is the first preview of the Cuban music-inspired project, which sees Gibbons joined by a handpicked group of musicians dubbed The BFG's.

Due November 6, "Perfectamundo" was produced by Gibbons and Joe Hardy and recorded in Houston, Los Angeles, Austin and Pontevedra, Spain. The 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.

Standing on the stage's sidelines, Novoselic repeatedly posted videos, pictures and opinions, exclaiming what a fantastic show Foo Fighters put on. He ended by calling Foo Fighters the "best band in the world."

His very first tweet grabbed a shot of Dave Grohl's rock chair, which the musician has been using since breaking his leg on tour. Grohl's attitude to keep on rocking despite the significant injury may have played a part in Novoselic's comments. Real rockers keep on rocking.

The band confirmed previously that they'd give fans who pre-order the game access to three exclusive tracks - which can now be revealed as Shepherd Of Fire, Buried Alive and Nightmare.

Burnley became embroiled in a legal battle with his former bandmates during the hiatus while also battling a mystery illness which causes him chronic pain.

He said: "The agony never goes away. People ask me how I deal with it and it's because I have no choice. Now I get angry. If I'm dizzy onstage it'll push me even harder.

The publishers say the book "puts the four Kiss solo albums under the microscope like never before." More than 30 brand-new interviews were conducted with people who either worked directly on the solo albums or have a strong connection with the projects.

And on Trivium's latest single Silence In The Snow, he can be heard delivering a more melodic sound, a pattern which is followed throughout the album of the same name.

Heafy tells Metal Hammer magazine that he hooked up with signing coach Ron Anderson after a recommendation from Avenged Sevenfold's M Shadows. He says: "Ron's taught Axl Rose, Chris Cornell, Janet Jackson - the list goes on.

"Not only has he helped my clean singing, but he's taught me a correct screaming technique, because what I'd been doing for 15 years was incorrect and I was on the brink of destroying my voice.

The new album, entitled "A War Against You" will be issued via Century Media - and the band have also outlined plans for a European headline tour to support the record.

The clip was filmed on the Pembroke coast of South Wales and sees vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe taking the role of a lone musician who stumbles upon a woman who has been the victim of a shipwreck.

Director James Shamrock says the promo is inspired by French romantic painter Theodore Gericault's work Raft Of Medusa, and by recent media coverage of stricken refugees.

He says: "In May this year I read in the news reports of a 'ghost ship' carrying 350 starving Rohingya Muslims vanishing off Thailand. Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand refused to engage in search-and-rescue operations, instead pushing the boats back to sea, letting the people starve and refusing to accept the asylum seekers - similar to the story behind Raft Of Medusa.

"It was only later in the year as we were filming the music video down around the Pembrokeshire coast that the media took a greater interest in the deaths of asylum seekers in the Med.

The set was recorded at various places, including Gilmour's Astoria houseboat studio and in Hove, Sussex, UK. The project was first previewed with the release of the title track.

"The song 'Rattle That Lock' was inspired, musically, by the sound that's played on French railway stations," says Gilmour. "Before they make an announcement - a 4-note jingle is played. Every time I heard it, it would make me want to start dancing."

Frontman Rou Reynolds says: "We presented Danny with this absolutely raucous track, with ridiculous time signatures, all of which were outside of his comfort zone - and he turned it into a summery tune! You'd never think this song could be anything but furious, but what he's done is awesome."

Frontwoman Jill Janus had the following to say about the new album: "The evolution of Huntress bleeds into Static. It is the heaviest and catchiest record we've written."

But that changed when guitarist Chad Gilbert, who's engaged to Williams, mentioned the concept to her. Bolooki tells Stars: "You probably won't believe it, but it was actually her idea.

"We decided to look into having a female singer on Vicious Love, to make it a duet. Ian, our bass player, had been pushing for us to get in contact with Kacey, who's actually an NFG fan.

Due October 2, the Maryland group's follow-up to 2013's "Earth Rocker" will be issued via their own Weathermaker Music label. The band are previewing the album with the release of the lead track, "X-Ray Visions."

The Reading appearance was the fifth date on a short run across Europe that saw the band playing a mix of headline and festival shows. Metallica are gearing up to play a headline set at the 30th anniversary of Rock In Rio on September 19.

"We're very excited," says the band, "that we have been invited to be a part of the original Rock In Rio 30-year celebration by headlining one night during the festivities taking place September 18th - 27th, 2015 at the City of Rock in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The bassist reports that their heavy touring schedule had put the brakes on their creativity - but they're getting down to business ahead of their US tour with Chelsea Grin, which kicks off next month.

They have been writing the follow-up to 2013's Old Souls and report that they have come up with their "most dynamic" music to date, although no release date has been confirmed.

Like many of the times I bring a song to the band they all crack up and think we can't do a song like this... This was one of those times. When I present a song it's usually me having an idea in my head what the song is gonna sound like, but it's not easy portraying that idea with my guitar skills and little or no lyrics. This time like many times before I stand tall and say "This will be epic!" and take matters in my own hands, convince the drummer to learn the song and do a demo of it with me playing the guitar. This is when the other guys turn their head and go "This is stupid, I only like this when drinking beer!". I give them beer and go "How do you wanna do it?", and then we're off. Getting some real guitar tracks added to the mix, proper solos and a few changes here and there and the song turns out pretty much the way I wanted it from the start. The band suddenly thinks the song is good enough for a single and being able to enjoy the song sober. This has been the case with many of our best songs and i guess the guys have started to trust my songwriting. But I'm pretty sure they'll never stop laughing when I pick up a guitar and start playing my latest great masterpiece.

I guess you can call our latest release a concept album. It's a story of a new breed of humans being grown by unknown alien super masterminds and trained to inhabit planets all over the universe. It was our bass player who came up with the story. One of these groups of men was shipped to an earthlike planet to be ruled by the alien masterminds.

The song itself was written about this prodigal son who suspects something is wrong with situation on this planet. He unites the people and starts a war against the aliens. Of course our hero wins the war and is crowned king of the new world. All is well but as time passes by and he starts to become more and more like the very ones he was fighting from the start, and a new revolution is born...

Don't get me started on the video, I have no idea what went wrong there but it's AWESOME
