Slipknot Frontman Corey Taylor Reveals His Wake Up Call

The video project gives fans an inside look at the making of the biggest-selling record of the band's career, with more than 25 million copies sold worldwide - including 10 million in the US.

Produced by Mutt Lange, "Hysteria" delivered seven singles: "Animal", "Women", "Rocket", the US Top 5 tracks "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Hysteria" and "Armageddon It", and the US No. 1 "Love Bites."

The newly-remastered edition of the record is available in various packages, including a 7-disc Super Deluxe Edition, 3CD Deluxe Version, 1CD Vanilla Version, 2-LP Black Vinyl Version and a limited edition 2-LP Colored Vinyl Version.

Morton explained to radio station 107.7 The Bone (via TeamRock): "A lot of times, a hiatus is a subjective thing. Because very often when we go out of the public eye in terms of what we're doing as a band, it doesn't mean we're not working.

"It takes us a fair amount of time to write and record these albums, so a lot of times we'll go off the radar and we're still working our little butts off to put music together.

"We've been a band for a long time and we're a collective group of very creative people. I personally never stop making music, so I think Lamb Of God might go out of the public eye for a little bit, but it doesn't mean I'm not doing stuff."

Speaking to WFMZ-TV (as reported by Blabbermouth) prior to the group's appearance at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Erna was asked if there was a specific theme running through the band's upcoming follow-up to 2014's 1000hp.

Running over 8 minutes, the epic tune is the longest track on "Hardwired�To Self-Destruct", which was launched last summer with the lead single "Hardwired."

Metallica's tenth album recently achieved platinum status in the US for sales of 1 million copies. The Phoenix event made headlines when an Albuquerque, NM man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure after allegedly urinating on a family of three - including a 10-year old girl and her parents - during the show.

After a battle with Alzheimer's Disease, Glen Campbell died at 81 last Tuesday (Aug 8).Webb writes, "Well, that moment has come that we have known was an inevitable certainty and yet stings like a sudden catastrophe. Let the world note that a great American influence on pop music, the American Beatle, the secret link between so many artists and records that we can only marvel, has passed and cannot be replaced. He was bountiful. His was a world of gifts freely exchanged: Roger Miller stories, songs from the best writers, an old Merle Haggard record or a pocket knife.

"He gave me a great wide lens through which to look at music. The cult of The Players? He was at the very center. He loved the Beach Boys and in subtle ways helped mold their sound. He loved Don and Phil (Everly), Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, Flatt and Scruggs. This was the one great lesson that I learned from him as a kid: Musically speaking nothing is out of bounds. Of course, he lavished affection and gifts on his kids, family and friends. His love was a deep mercurial thing and once committed he was a tenacious friend as so many in Nashville and Phoenix, L.A. and New York, compadres all over the world would testify. One of his favorite songs was 'Try A Little Kindness" in which he sings 'shine your light on everyone you see." My God. Did he do that or what? Just thinking back I believe suddenly that the 'raison d'etre" for every Glen Campbell show was to bring every suffering soul within the sound of his voice up a peg or two. Leave 'em laughin'. Leave them feeling just a little tad better about themselves, even though he might have to make them cry a couple of times to get 'em there. What a majestically graceful and kind, top rate performer was Glen on his worst night!

August 13 1967 marks 50 years since Fleetwood Mac played their first gig. Although the band was notionally "founded" by Peter Green, the guitarist insisted they be named after drummer Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. In the band's early days a compromise was reached: they were called Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Although the band had much wider success with Lindsey Buckingham on guitar from the mid-'70s, it was Peter Green and his mercurial playing on a Gibson Les Paul which did much to build the band's reputation. Peter Green-era hits included "Black Magic Woman", "Albatross", "Oh Well", "Man Of The World" and "The Green Manalishi (With The Two Pronged Crown)." In the new Rolling Stone interview, Mick Fleetwood says: "My dream with this book coming out, and I'm working really hard, is that there will be a lovely show where a few people that mean a damn can come out and pay quiet kudos and tribute to Peter. Maybe we could pull off a short tour in England, or something like that. That would be my dream."

The Belladonna appearance followed a recent run of US festival dates by the New York rockers, including Wisconsin's Rock Fest and Rock USA and Chicago Open Air.

Guitarist Ivar Bjornson had this to say about the song "Storm Son deals with the duality of man and nature, how important and basic that relationship is. Everything we do and create are imitations of nature - as we evolved from nature, that is how it must be.

The duo of bassist/singer Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher are promoting their latest album, "How Did We Get So Dark?"
