The two hit making bands had previously played a successful coheadlining tour together in the summer of 2006 and shared the stage at the 2009 Download festival in the UK and Campbell says that it is possible they will team up again next year.

The technology will create a new video every day for a month using hundreds of hours of footage to feature high-profile personalities voicing the lyrics to the band's latest single. The video was created with the tech development agency, Branger_Briz.

The band will be performing two concert at The Chapel in San Francisco and guitarist Gary Holt told the local CBS affiliate that the band will be joined by Dukes during their set on Saturday night (July 8th.)

The kick off show is also noteworthy. Holt explains, "Yeah, I think we're filming them. The first night is going to be Steve Souza's first headlining show with Exodus back in the Bay. We're going to put together a pretty varied set list and try to pull out a couple of deep tracks. It's going to be really killer.

"We all threw in ideas and then played through everything," Fortus said in an interview with Hot Press. "The ones that were working the best were the ones we went with. In terms of Slash and Duff tackling the 'Chinese Democracy' material, they took a straightforward approach. They both have such strongly unique musical personalities and they insert those personalities into the songs. I love the way we've been doing those songs on this tour.

The shows will mark the first time in 40 years that Hughes will perform material from the iconic band since his final show with the group on March 15th, 1976 at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.

Chamberlin told WGN Radio (via NME), "We were talking about playing next year with the band and somebody asked me, you know, 'What's it like trying to co-ordinate that?' "I said it's like 'Grumpy Old Men 3?, only there's four grumpy old men and one's a woman'. So� that's how it's gotten to be."

Grohl explains that "Concrete And Gold" is "also the title of the last song. There's sort of a theme within the eleven songs that goes from beginning to end, so this is kind of the resolve of the entire record.

On Guns N' Roses, Ulrich calls Appetite for Destruction "the blueprint for literally thousands of bands." True! AC/DC's Let There Be Rock, according to Ulrich, is AC/DC's "heaviest...densest...most energetic record."

The trek is scheduled to kick off on August 18th in San Jose, Ca at The Ritz and will conclude on September 22nd in Lubbock, TX at Jake's Backroom. Cane Hill will be joining the tour beginning with the August 23rd show in Colorado Springs.

"It's a terrifying club to be part of. You hope it never gets any bigger now than two artists," he told Rolling Stone (via Radio.com "If you could trade places, you actually wouldn't, because someone else would understand that. I don't think I would wish that on anybody else."

The band has recruited Ken Mary (Fifth Angel, Alice Cooper, House Of Lords, TKO, Chastain) to play with them on the upcoming dates in place of drummer Jason Bitter, who left the group to join Overkill.

Performers include Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Anthrax, Kiss, Korn, Slayer, Clutch and many more. Other acts include Stone Sour, Steel Panther, Behemoth, Kyng and more.

"We are beyond stoked to be a part of Chicago Open Air this year," Stone Sour's Corey Taylor said in a statement. "If you've never seen Stone Sour before, you're in for a � treat. If you HAVE seen Stone Sour before, forget what you're expecting. It's a whole new ballgame. See you all soon!"

I remember whistling the main riff of "Riddles" when I was heading to my studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil. That riff was in my head for a few days already when I decided to produce it. I sat down with Felipe Ruiz, guitar, and I sang him what I had in mind. I wanted the melody to follow it so people wouldn't know which came first, the melody or the riff. The recording process was very smooth, we knew what we wanted, musically, since the beginning.

Lyrically, the song is based on stories that my father used to tell me about the second world war. He used to repeat to himself that he was never walking alone, like him, thousands and thousands of people were experiencing the same situation in Italy. Like he still says to me "Life is a riddle and we should never walk it alone".
