AC/DC's Brian Johnson And Jim Breuer Stream 'Mr. Rock N Roll'

He tells Metal Rules: "Absolutely, we have considered it - but whether it will happen I don't know. I think it would be great." Tyler's side-project has been a bone of contention amongst his Aerosmith bandmates, as it resulted in them cancelling most of their 2016 tour plans, according to the guitarist.

A guitarist called "Angelo Mysterioso" is listed for the song I Will Be There, and the name bears close resemblance to "L'Angelo Mysterioso" - the title used by Harrison on Cream track Badge, which he co-wrote with Clapton in 1969.

But Clapton tells Guitar World: "It's not George. The thing is, the person wishes to remain anonymous. So we came to that arrangement and we both thought it was the best idea.

The reunion plans came after Danzig and Only attended a meeting originally set up to avert further legal wrangles between the pair. Danzig tells Rolling Stone: "It is going to happen for at least two shows. We'll see how it goes. It may lead to some other work, but who knows how it's going to turn out? I mean, I don't think it's going to be a disaster - I think it's going to be incredible."

Only previously revealed that he'd asked Danzig to pick the setlist - and the singer says there will be a few surprises thrown in - along with a "cool" stage set.

Participants in the 16-29 year-old age group were not even born when the song came out 35 years ago, but they rated it more than anyone else, with 49% of the vote.

Under Pressure came about after a jam session in the Swiss Alps. In a recent tribute to the late David Bowie, Queen guitarist Brian May described how Bowie latched on to the signature bass line in the early part of the jam.

May said: "Each of us went into the vocal booth consecutively, without listening to each other, and, listening to the track, vocalised the first things that came into our heads, including any words which came to mind.

Branding Dweezil's story that he was forced to change the name of his Zappa Plays Zappa show to Dweezil Zappa Plays Frank Zappa as "incomplete and misleading," Ahmet points out that Dweezil only has to pay a $1-a-year fee to using the original show name and "follow the exact same rules as the rest of us."

But Dweezil has issued a statement of his own suggesting his brother's "actions speak louder than words," accusing him of "contradictions and unsubstantiated half truths." He also launches a tirade against the "bogus" contract, alleging their late mother Gail created an "unfair and unacceptable working relationship" by reneging on their deal and withholding merchandise profits from his shows over the last 10 years.

The So album from 1986 will be released across two heavyweight 180g LPs, while 1992's Us and 2002's Up will launch across three heavyweight 180g LPs.

Singer Colleen Rennison says:" It's definitely a departure from Boo Hoo Hoo. It's been the meat and potatoes of our live set for a long time and we're really excited to show everybody what we've been doing and who we really are.

A long and painstaking remaster of tracks from the '70s and '80s culminated in the commemorative collection, due for release on October 7. Reed's wife and collaborator Laurie Anderson said the box set contains the recordings in all their original, imperfect glory.

Guitarist Kerry King says: "I can't believe Comic-Con are gonna let us shred the House Of Blues San Diego. It will definitely be a night of fury and intensity that the city won't soon forget.

Billy Talent tell Alternative Press: "This record is about struggle, both within ourselves and within the society we live. It's about asking questions. It's about friendship and loyalty and it's about choosing to not accept things that don't apply to us. That don't represent us.

"It's about believing in the person that's reflected in the mirror and taking responsibility. It's about the pressures that society creates and how we're all trying to figure out where we fit in.

"It's about following your dreams and knowing that when you get knocked down you have to get back up. It's about listening to our planet and learning to respect her.

Meanwhile, the band have confirmed that stand-in bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen has become a permanent member, following the departure of Anders Kjolholm last year.

The guitarist was speaking to Music Radar when he revealed: "I loved sharing the stage with Axl Rose and the guys. Axl put together such an incredible bunch of musicians, and I was proud to be part of that."

He continues: "I'll always be thankful for Axl believing in me. But it's not my band and it never will be. I was performing songs written before I got there. I had a blast doing it, and I will cherish it.

He says: "Here we go again. With a lead foot and speed, and a hammering stampede, as our ears they will bleed, we are preparing to start recording our next project.

"The riffs and ideas have been flying and exploding - all systems are go and the wheels are rolling." Overkill will be joined on the road by Crowbar, Shredhead and Desecrator.

The promotional clip for Draconian Love features live footage captured on Avantasia's recent shows in Brazil. It was directed by Junior Carelli and produced by Foggy Filmes.

Avantasia say: "Thank you for being in our video, it is an honour to do a video with such great fans. Without an audience like that, the video wouldn't be anything."
