Further Seems Forever, Sense Field Singer Jon Bunch Dead At 45

Rolling Stone reports the band will perform a Motorhead classic as part of a two-song set that will also see the premiere of "As Bad As I Am", one of three bonus tracks featured on the upcoming deluxe edition of the Hollywood Vampires' 2015 self-titled debut that's due February 12.

"We started this band as a means to toast our 'dead drunk friends' at the Rainbow, all the ghosts in the bar," says Cooper, "and now I guess Lemmy is involved in that, too. Lemmy was one of those salt-of-the-earth guys. Find me somebody who didn't love Lemmy. He's just one of those guys that's impossible not to like.

"He was always funny," Cooper continues. "I'm a 'healed' alcoholic and I haven't had anything to drink in 35 years. A lot of people that drink always feel a little bit like they owe an explanation to me.

He later apologized in a video message after a backlash from the rock community, led by Machine Head's Robb Flynn. But this week Down were pulled from the lineup of this year's FortaRock event in the Netherlands, with organisers saying Anselmo was "not welcome." He's since posted a further apology on his website and says he doesn't want to drag his bandmates down with him.

Anselmo, 47, says: "I am utterly responsible for the mistakes I have made, and can only give you my word to no longer do them in the present, through action, not just mere words.

Called Sekret Machines, the transmedia series will feature new music from Angels & Airwaves, fiction and non-fiction books, as well as a documentary. Everything officially kicks off on April 5th with the release of a 704-page hardcover novel, Sekret Machines Book 1: Chasing Shadows, the first in a trilogy that DeLonge co-wrote with author A.J. Hartley.

Discussing the book's subject matter, DeLonge said in the press release, "I wanted to tackle the subject of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena because it seems so unbelievable."

Adweek reports the ad tells the story of a retired astronaut who rediscovers his passion for life - and powerful machines - when his son lets him drive the 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus.

Entitled "The Commander", the commercial will be seen during the first quarter of this Sunday's game between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA.

"Starman" was enjoying a renaissance even before Bowie's death from cancer on January 10. The tune was played in full during a sequence of Ridley Scott's space film The Martian.

Those sessions were abandoned and Jane's Addiction man Navarro was later replaced by John Frusciante, who he had replaced in 1993. One Hot Minute ended up being Navarro's only album with the group, who went on to release Californication in 1999.

Guitar icon and singer Carlos Santana, lead vocalist and keyboardist Gregg Rolie, guitarist Neal Schon, percussionist Michael Carabello and drummer Michael Shrieve last worked together when they produced multi-platinum record Santana III in 1971.

Moreno previously described the follow-up to 2012's Koi No Yokan as "a little screwy." He said: "It's a little more of a heady record. We've gone into the songs and really dissected them.

"If something sounded a little straight we took a left turn. We tried something completely opposite - not to sabotage it, but to challenge ourselves and try new things.

The 19-song set was full of classics and, as Rolling Stone magazine notes, the band performed "She's A Rainbow" from 1967's "Their Satanic Majesties Request" for the first time since 1998, and only the 11th time in their entire history.

The Santiago show also saw the debut of new backup vocalist Sasha Allen, who took center stage with Mick Jagger for "Gimme Shelter" as she fills in for longtime singer Lisa Fischer, who was unable to make the South American run due to prior touring commitments.

The 12-date Am�rica Latina Ol� tour - which includes multiple dates in Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo - marks the group's first shows of the continent in a decade.

New subscriptions and group sales for the venue's summer season will be available February 9; "Five or More" packages go on sale March 15; and the Bowl's box office opens for single ticket sales on May 1.

Elevenses will be issued under the Daevid Allen Weird Quartet banner via Purple Pyramid Records on February 12. It's said to feature "a mixture of styles of music found throughout Allen's career, plus a few surprises, including a blues song, a catchy Irish-tinged folk song, ambient and explosive instrumentals and a post-punk rave-up with Daevid's final message."

Taylor describes seeing the band before he joined and how he was captivated by the visual element of their show. He says: "I was there for the first Slipknot show. I was in the audience, it was before I'd even joined the band. It was so many different things all at once. It was visual, it was visceral, it was antagonistic, it was dangerous, it was powerful.

"I'd never seen a band like that before. It was taking everything that had been done creatively, artistically, visually and taking it to such a different realm.

"I loved the fact that every mask was different because it represented a different person, it wasn't all linear and just thrown together. I felt that everyone put a lot of time and thought into what they were doing. So when I did join, after some trial and error, it came to emboss that theory onto the mask that I was wearing."

The record was originally due out last year after a successful crowdfunding campaign, but the release date has been pushed back until March 25. It'll be the follow-up to 2005's The Feeding.

AHC bassist Chad Hanks previously said: "Sonically, Tango Umbrella feels like a combination of The War Of Art and The Feeding. It's a logical progression for us, as we continue experimenting with different feels, sounds, vocal styles, etc.

Frontman Nick Holmes said of the record: "I feel it's like a flag-in-the-ground album for us. In the past we've had certain albums that set the pace for the next few years.

"We did that with Icon and then One Second. And this is another. The death-metal element is adding a texture that we haven't had for a long time, but the album is a mixed bag and it's better for it."

The promo has been issued to mark the launch of this year's 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise, which leaves Fort Lauderdale, Florida, later today (February 4). Paradise Lost will set sail along with bands including Children Of Bodom, Delain, Cradle Of Filth, Iced Earth and Lacuna Coil.

The band said of the album: "Polaris is a different scenario - the first chance for us as a group to stop and take stock of what we are right now, to explore a TesseracT of melody, dynamics, and singular focus. For the first time, too, we feel free from the bounds of genre-specific expectations."

"I wrote Sunrise To Sundown last year and brought into the jam room, where it very quickly went from a basic idea to a finished arrangement in something like five minutes!" says guitarist Michael Amott. "Some songs come fast and others take time to fully develop, you never know when inspiration hits you...and therein somewhere lies the beauty of creating music. The lyrics follow that train of thought too, talking about following your chosen path and turning your dreams into reality - two things I believe in very much."

"I'm super excited about how the album sounds sonically," he continues. "Our engineer Staffan Karlsson also produced and mixed the album, and the result is something we're very proud of. I think every album we have made has had its own vibe and atmosphere. I can honestly say this band has never made the same album twice.

"To me, Sunrise To Sundown is the next chapter of the book we've been writing since we started the band over 20 years ago. Of course, the foundation of our style is heavy rock music, but we always keep evolving adding new influences and colours to the bands core sound."

"I was paralyzed when I heard the news," said Jones. "For some reason I didn't ever think I would feel that way with someone's death, but with Bowie it just struck a chord.

"I like the fact that a lot of other people have responded the same way. It gives me some hope in humanity, that there are actually some people who appreciate culture and � not everybody is a bloody robot, you know?"

President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in the city. The problems started after a cost-cutting switchover from Detroit to the River Flint in April 2014.

King 810 have been a prominent voice for Flint residents. They recently made the song We Gotta Help Ourselves available to stream, dedicated to Flint victims, and they partnered with local shop Savage Village to release a line of t-shirts.

All proceeds from the sales go to the Community Foundation of Greater Flint's Child Health & Development Fund. Frontman David Gunn tells ABC12: "It's the obvious thing to do. If there's a problem in the city, if there's a problem with the people, then everybody should do something about it.

The band say: "This is a very sad song about leaving everyone you know and love behind to face something new. When everything is different but nothing really changes.

But when In This Moment postponed their tour as singer Maria Brink was suffering from unspecified health issues, The Defiled also put off their own shows.

Now they've announced nine new dates for May which coincide with the rescheduled In This Moment gigs. Keyboard player The AvD says: "After our Running In Circles tour getting postponed earlier this year, we are proud to announce that we are hitting the road with our brothers Forever Never.

Singer Chrissy Costanza says: "The video is basically about being an outsider, and we are the leaders of a rebellion of sorts. The 'faction' are coming to find us and we're recording this message, which is the song Outsiders, for hope for all of the other rebels out there.

"The video is based in this alternate that's kind of like the real world but a little bit different. It's cold here, it's dark, it's dirty - the faction is very scary."

He says: "As far as the term progressive, when I was growing up it was very different than it is today. The one thing that will remain the same is you get to do whatever you want. It has to have certain aspects to it that define it as progressive, but it's a really cool term for bands who don't want to be pigeonholed into one style of music.

"If you listen to the older prog bands you're getting a lot of influences such as jazz and classical, with these long, elaborate arrangements. Now it seems to be more metal orientated rather than all inclusive. I think that's cool, too.

Fellow guitarist Misha Mansoor agrees and says Periphery have no limitations when it comes to their sound - something he thinks hinders some other bands.

He adds: "If you're in a rock or metal band there's things you might run into like, 'We can't do that, it's not metal enough.' I've always liked that bands that seem to be progressive don't ever fall into that.

Moonstone Music Festival
April 30 - May 1, Orlando, Florida

I've always been a big fan of the 80's. Something about that era just strikes a chord with me. From the music to the action movies, the dawn of skateboarding, to the clearly cocaine influenced clothing choices. It's just a weird piece of western history that I love. I was born in 88 so I didn't get to experience the 80's, but growing up with the remnants of 80's culture in the 90's and the 2000's always left me wanting more. I started to get into 80's metal because it was so cool, miss me with that grunge sh*t, I never really got into that. Everything was over the top, the guitars, the vocals, the speed...the hair. It was just a god damn skeptical and I loved it.

Meanwhile during this time "The Simpsons" was molding the brains of me and all my friends, with Slayer's "South Of Heaven" as the sound track to our youth. The Simpsons had the perfect embodiment of the glorious ridiculousness of the 80s action hero, McBain. I'm sure some people know but if you don't The Simpsons some how snuck an entire 80s action movie plot into the McBain cut scenes from over something like 10 years of episodes. So in our song "Out For Blood" we paid tribute to the McBain story, and jammed in all the 80s cliches we could think of including some kick ass saxophone. You can find the entire McBain story pieced together on youtube, and after you check that out you can bask in the 80s glory of "Out For Blood"
