Day in Rock Part 2

Deep Purple Release Behind-The-Scenes Jon Lord Concerto Video

Michael added that Scorpions took advantage of him and took credit for his songwriting efforts. Now the younger Schenker tells The Metal Voice that Rudolf convinced him to sign over songwriting credits and that Rudolf died his hair blond as part of a plot to "misrepresent and fool people" for years.

It all came to light, Michael says, when he was approached to help with the recent 50th anniversary Scorpions reissues. Michael says: "I found out that they put a bio out that was a completely wrong story. I found out that there was nobody credited for what I wrote on Holiday. It's the intro to Holiday, it's 45 seconds long. That's the intro that I wrote but nobody got credit for it.

They parted ways with guitarist David Dave Lizzio in 2014 and replaced him with BC Kochmit, which singer Elias Soriano admitted has boosted their songwriting formula for album No.9.

He said: "This record is the product of pain, frustration, power and the environmental influence on this band. That mounted with the introduction of BC on guitars.

While Illsley usually prefers not to go into too much detail about his lyrical content, he has explained the inspiration for the words on these four tracks. And he tackles everything from religious radicalisation, the Iraq war and internet porn to the influence of artists, politicians and modern celebrities.

On In The Darkness, Illsley was moved to write about the impact the digital age and the internet has, mostly with religious radicilisation and addictive, easy-to-access porn.

He says: "It's not really talked about much, but the influence of pornography over the internet... I think in the long term for a number of people it will cause serious psychological problems.

Former Slipknot drummer Jordison unveiled the band this month, saying he opted to rename his former group, Scar The Martyr, and bring a new vocalist Kalen Chase and keyboard player Matt Tarrach.

The guitarist says Collen - who is producing their follow-up to 2014's Simplicity - inspires the band while they write and record on the road, backstage at shows and in hotel rooms on their US trek.

Hannon tells My Global Mind: "I can tell you it's been really great to have Phil on board as a musician and not a business person. He has such a passion for Tesla and fan of the band.

"We've had a great relationship with him as we have been friends for 30 years since the Hysteria Tour. When Tesla got back together in 2000 after eight years apart, we did a comeback CD called Into the Now.

He tells Metal Wani: "We've got about eight or nine songs, and we're gonna do another three or four. We'll pull together when we get back from this tour.

Frontman Aryn Jonathan Black recently said: "He was forced into confessing by his wife and her wealthy lover. Sentenced to a life's term, he goes through extreme emotions, dealing with the only woman he'd ever loved taking everything away from him.

They also issued a video for their track Scared To Be Alone last month. Bassist Kyle Fasel said: "Scared To Be Alone was a song that stood out to us very early on. I remember when we wrote it, the song just hit me. It didn't sound like any of our other songs, yet it still sounded right for us.

The new studio album came just 15 months after their debut "Inside The Vertigo." They also released a promo for track Weight Of The World earlier this year.
