Foo Fighters Release 'The Sky Is A Neighborhood' Video

The band broke the news to fans with the following social media post yesterday, "Unfortunately, due to Tom having laryngitis, tonight's show at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA has been postponed.

"The May Queen" is also out as a download right now, and the song's lyric video is streaming via YouTube here. What's extra cool is that Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters will tour to promote Carry Fire. So far, Plant and company haven't announced tour dates, but they have stated the trek will set off in November.

Also available individually on heavyweight black 180g vinyl, the package includes the rocker's six album solo output from 1990 to 2005 and includes his 1990 debut, "Tattooed Millionaire", as well as "Balls To Picasso" (1994), "Skunkworks" (1996), "Accident Of Birth" (1997), "The Chemical Wedding" (1998). and 2005's "Tyranny Of Souls."

Two of the titles - "The Chemical Wedding" and "Tyranny Of Souls", are being made available for the first time ever on vinyl, while the four others have been long out of print, with "Skunkworks" and "Accident Of Birth" now expanded to double LPs for optimum sound.

All of Dickinson's solo records charted in his native UK, with some earning Top 10 status in Finland and Sweden. "Soloworks" arrives in sync with the October 19 release of Dickinson's memoir, "What Does This Button Do?", via HarperCollins.

The project sees the rocker share, for the first time, his most fascinating recollections, including his years with Iron Maiden, the early days, his childhood within the eccentric British school system, going solo, realizing his dream of flying jumbo jets and his recent battle with tongue cancer.

"Forlorn" is intentionally the last song on our most recent EP, FIRE. Overall the song is lyrically dark. It conveys a sense of exhaustion, an internal battle with one's self of whether or not to take the next step. It talks about struggling to meet your goals without always seeing that "light at the end of tunnel" so to speak.

As a band, we find it really important to express this. Darkness is always kicking around, but it's been particularly prevalent in the hard rock world of late, with the suicide of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington casting shadows over the scene. Depression only deepens the more alone we feel. Music has the power to make us feel less alone, and that's why it's so important to acknowledge it in our music. When a band shares their experience and view on something, it can help us feel less isolated. It also can physically bring people together, keeping us from literally being alone.

The opening line of the song is "I can't take one more second of looking in from the outside. Once an optimist reborn a skeptic, I can't help but to criticize". This is a very loaded sentence. We wanted this to speak to every person who has tried and tried to succeed at something. It's easy to become cynical when you're giving all you have to meet your goals, and just can't seem to move forward. It's frustrating, and it's a frustration that we definitely understand as a band. That is why within the song there lies a message of hope.

The darkness of "Forlorn" is reflected arrangement wise as well, particularly with heavy syncopated triplets and angry guitar lines.

The choruses are meant to directly contrast the verses by providing an uplifting feeling. It's important to acknowledge the darkness, but we also find it more impactful to do something with it. Everyday brings a new beginning with new opportunities.

One of the lines in the chorus is �"New sunrise. Hope fuels it's fire. Lose myself again". When you break that down what we are saying is you can always start over. Don't lose your passion. Never let anyone take that away from you. Your hope fuels the fire within your heart. Do what you love. Find your happiness.

"Today" was the second single issued from the Pink Floyd guitarist's 2015 album, which debuted at No. 5 on the US Billboard 200 and at No. 1 in his native UK, among other places.

The guitarist's 2016 concerts at the venue - the first-ever rock performances played to an audience in the ancient Roman amphitheatre built in 90 BC - marked his return to the site 45 years after he first played there for Adrian Maben's classic film, "Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii."

Due September 29 and directed by Gavin Elder, "Live At Pompeii" sees Gilmour mix solo tracks and Pink Floyd classics during the shows. "I think (the film) is more than any of us could've expected," Elder tells Billboard. "Pompeii wasn't the last concert on the tour, but it was the highlight, that's for sure. We all traveled there on the train together and there was a real sense of excitement that something special was going to happen in Pompeii.

In the new video, a woman literally runs for cover as her boyfriend chases her down the road in his car. She's holding a mysterious cassette tape and he wants it back. The dark, cinematic visuals tell a story of murder, suspicion and revenge told in flashback.

In promotion of the group's dance-tastic new Mark Ronson-produced album, Villains, Queens of the Stone Age have released a new video that finds Liam Lynch interviewing each of the band's previous albums for their reviews of the upcoming full-length.

Homme provides the voices for the albums, each of which brings their own issues to the table in the hilarious promo clip. Since we don't want to spoil the funny, let's just strongly encourage you to watch the video below for some much-needed laughs from the band's salty discography.

They will be kicking things off with tonight's show (Aug 24) in Vancouver, BC - PNE Amphitheater and will be wrapping the trek up on November 12tj in New Orleans, LA at the Saenger Theatre.

This week they will also be playing a string of west coast shows with The Dobbie Brothers including stops in Woodinville, Goldendale, Eugene and Saratoga.

That night, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear reunited to perform the group's grungy songs for the first time since frontman Kurt Cobain passed away. Lorde and Joan Jett were tapped to sing vocals and pay tribute to Cobain.

When asked if something like that could ever happen again, Grohl didn't rule out the possibility but also didn't make any promises. In a story for the U.K.'s The Times, Grohl recalled the Rock Hall performance as one of the "seminal gigs" of his career.

"I got together with my old band mates, Krist and Pat, and guests including Joan Jett and Lorde, and we played those songs again -- it sounded just like it did, but of course with one thing missing," Grohl wrote. "We hadn't played a Nirvana set since Kurt died."

The song is taken from the upcoming full-length, Ogilala and is a heartfelt piano ballad that is thick with orchestral swells beneath Corgan's distinctive vocals.

Filmed as a companion piece to Prince's legendary double-album of the same name, the movie Sign o' the Times combined footage filmed at his Paisley Park Studios and from shows in Belgium and the Netherlands.

The band recruited Society 1 frontman and artist Matt Zane of Lord Zane Productions to direct and edit the new visual, which is also the band very first music video.
