30 Arrested At Guns N' Roses Concert

The demo was found stuffed in a brown paper envelope, which had Black's name and the song title handwritten on it, reported NME. Black's family decided to showcase the demo to The Beatles Shop in Liverpool, England as part of a collection of her 21 demos. Immediately, the store manager knew it was something special.

The 10-episode program sees the pair tour the world to visit a bucket list of iconic and historically significant spots that includes Mt. Rushmore, Stonehenge, The Alamo, Roswell, The Jamestown Settlement and Sun Studios, and a hit list of some fascinating sights and people that they've read about.

From a Cold War-era Missile Silo to Bletchley Park, gold miner Rattlesnake Randy's stream of dreams to vintage tank collector Allan Cors' private museum of working war machines, Ozzy and Jack get their eyes and hands on history.

In the clip, Araya - who's spent the previous moments laughing and joking with the crowd - is seen thanking them for their attendance. Just before he begins to play his expression changes and he singles out someone in the room, asking: "What was that about?" He repeats: "What was that about? Tell me!" then adds: "Someone just spit on me. What was that about?"

He's happy for bands like Slipknot to take up the mantle - and admits he can't play "heavier and faster" the way he used to. He last week unveiled Would And Steal, a duo featuring Rob Tucker, which focuses on classic Americana.

Newsted says in a video: "After 30 years of playing heavy music, I've been around the globe about five times. I've already climbed that mountain. We got Grammy awards, the Hall Of Fame and all those different things. That's as far as you can go in that kind of music. It's someone else's turn to have fun in that music now."

Menza played on four Megadeth studio albums, including their 1990 classic "Rust In Peace" and 1992's "Countdown To Extinction." He exited the lineup in 1998, when knee problems and a benign tumor forced him to leave a tour in support of 1997's "Cryptic Writings."

The band delivered their standard 21-song set of classic rock covers upon Perry's return after the rocker missed five concerts plus a charity performance after reportedly dealing with a serious bout of "dehydration and exhaustion."

During the second song of The Hollywood Vampires show at the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island on July 10, Perry stumbled offstage and, according to sources, soon lost consciousness and apparently went into cardiac arrest, with police on the scene reviving him.

The claim was dismissed after a jury backed Led Zeppelin's position, led by the argument that the chord sequence in question was too common a musical device to be protected by copyright law.

Page says: "A few weeks have passed since the judgement, with the jury reaching a unanimous decision in a remarkably short time. Throughout the lengthy journey to that verdict, and even more recently, I have received and been aware of the overwhelming wave of support, encouragement and congratulations that has been deeply moving."

On July 23, Heritage Auctions in Dallas, TX confirmed the Fender Stratocaster sold for more than twice its pre-auction estimate. Clapton offered the guitar to the Nicholas family to help raise money for medical bills and continued Leukemia research when Johnny's wife, Brenda, was diagnosed with the disease; sadly, she lost her battle last month.

A noted blues player, Johnny was a member of the Grammy-winning Asleep At The Wheel before he and Brenda settled in Texas Hill Country to raise their family. During his time with the band, Johnny became close friends with Clapton and their friendship has endured to the present day.

The band say: "The video is a dark, somber metaphor that speaks for itself. I don't think we need a parallel narrative to explain it or emphasise its impact as almost everyone knows someone struggling with some form of addiction. It's real for everybody.

But arguments over the Live Evil album led to Dio and Appice quitting Tony Iommi's band - and a change of direction for the singer's solo project. Appice tells the Silk And Steel Power Hour: "Ronnie had a solo deal while he was in Black Sabbath. His first plan was to stay with Black Sabbath and do a solo record with all his friends on it.

The supergroup featuring Cattle Decapitation's Derek Engemann, former Animosity man Chase Fraser, Strong Intention's Jesse Schobel and Pig Destroyer's John Jarvis will headline the metal event. They join the Devin Townsend Project, Dying Fetus, Between The Buried And Me and many more bands over the weekend from February 23-25.

Anselmo previously said: "The Scour thing was just something that popped up - it's something I think I can kill, I can lay it out. It's predominantly modern-ish thrashy black metal stuff. I'm going to put my own spin on it.

The trek is scheduled to kick off on September 23rd in Tucson, AZ at Club X and will be wrapping up on October 28th in Poughkeepsie, NY at The Chance.

Frontman Jamey Jasta had the following to say about the upcoming road trip: "Here we go again. If we're bringing the mosh to your city, we wanna see you in the pit. Thank you to everyone who made the first leg of the tour a massive success.

They'll play 10 concerts starting next month with Rose performing in place of Brian Johnson, who was forced to bow out in March to avoid suffering a total loss of hearing.

In the video below, Rose says: "Everybody has an AC/DC story. Every person knows some time in their life, there was an AC/DC song that they did something with. They have a memory attached to it."

Former Pink Floyd man David Gilmour climbed to no.6, edging out the metal Brits by $7m on his Rattle That Lock tour. The Rolling Stones also powered to no.5 with their first South American stadium run in more than a decade. The group have raked in $488 million at the gate since their 50th anniversary shows in late 2012.

Frontman David Gunn recently told Metal Hammer: "This record has a sense of self. Memoirs was fragmented - it was playing someone else's game or some pre-established rules.

Soilwork say: "Death Resonance compiles 15 rare and unreleased tracks ranging all the way back to Stabbing The Drama. Many of these tracks were previously only available in Asia."

Singer and guitarist Charlie Starr tells Rolling Stone: "Simply put, it's a rock'n'roll song. It's the statement we want to make, musically. Lyrically, I think maybe it touches on how crazy the world seems right now."

Bowie's 1972 concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars was a landmark and trailblazing effort in many ways. The effort spawned hits like "Sufferagette City," "Starman" and, of course, "Ziggy Stardust."

"Tonight is a tribute to A.J. Pero," frontman Dee Snider tells the crowd at The Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas during the May 30, 2015 concert, "and we would be remiss if we didn't dedicate this song to his memory. Because the rock and roll business - as wonderful and glorious as it is - has got a lot of surprises, like grunge, but we continue on. So this one's for you A.J�.I know you're listening."

Pero passed away two months before the Las Vegas show from a heart attack while playing on tour with Adrenaline Mob. The band brought in acclaimed drummer Mike Portnoy for the tribute concert, which captures his debut performance with the group.

Written and produced by Phil Collen of Def Leppard - who they are touring with this summer across North America - the tune is the lone studio track on the project, due August 26.

"I first met the Tesla boys when we jammed with the band onstage at the infamous Paradiso Theater in Amsterdam 30 years ago," Collen tells Ultimate Classic Rock. "From then on we've been connected in one way or another."

According to Collen, Tesla bassist Brian Wheat heard "Save That Goodness" and told the veteran guitarist, "We should record this song and you should produce it."

"We listened to it and immediately loved it," says singer Jeff Keith. "He completely wrote it, but when we went in to record it, he let us put our own Tesla stamp on it, which was very nice. It's not a cover song, but you know, similarly, we've played lots of cover songs that work well for us, that we just kind of put our little Tesla stamp on it."

Singer Elin Larsson previously said: "Lady Gold is a character who symbolises death. We wanted a twist on the typical stereotype of death being the grim reaper. So instead we made her a lady in gold."

Frontman Sam McTrusty said of the follow-up to 2014's Great Divide: "Glasgow is where we come from. It's laced in our blood, not to mention our art and vision. It's bold. It's in our voice. It's time to embrace it and not work around it."

He adds: "We've changed our approach to writing and recording. We turned the idea of a rock band upside down, conforming only to this one idea - to take back rock and roll, to give people something real again.
