Video Of Chester Bennington's Final Linkin Park Concert Goes Online

"I'm excited to share new music with you!," says Jagger. "I started writing these two songs a few weeks back and wanted to get them out to you straight away. Doing a whole album often takes a long time, even after finishing it, with all the record company preparations and global release set up. I feel a slight throwback to a time when you could be a bit more free and easy by recording and putting it out there immediately. Enjoy them."

The rocker explains that he wrote the surprise tracks about the current climate in the UK as a reaction to the "anxiety [and] unknowability of the changing political situation. � We obviously have a lot of problems. So am I politically optimistic? No," adding, "I didn't want to wait until next year when these two tracks might lose any impact and mean nothing."

British rapper Skepta joins Jagger on "England Lost", a song that uses a soccer match as a metaphor for the country's political turmoil, with a haunting black and white video featuring UK actor Luke Evans.

Back in 2005 the band had fun with by putting their song of the classic "See You In Hell" video from the metal band Grim Reaper. This time around they filmed an actual video but one that was inspired by Guns N' Roses iconic "Paradise City" visual, the clip finds Rivers Cuomo and company dressed like it's 1988 and basking in standard definition glory.

The documentary arrives in sync with the upcoming 30th anniversary reissues of the UK band's 1987 album, "Hysteria." Due August 4, a remastered edition of the record will be issued 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.

In planning to produce a full length record , I've learned to "write for the garbage can" . Between Prong's co producer Chris Collier and myself we churn out quite a lot of riffs in preproduction. He'll send me a batch of ideas and I'll send him mine for him to get familiar with. A lot, I mean a lot get eliminated right off the bat. Then I'll start filling in the blanks on an idea that I like from him. I'll start figuring out a few potential vocal melodies over his submission and my new additions. I'll do the same on my complete ideas, continually working on them until later down the line when he gives me his opinions and comments. Some ideas I even have to come up with several vocal melodies and approaches to a musically part. A decision will be made to see what's best. So again , I'll review his ideas and then if I like one I'll pursue other parts and try to work on making a song out of it.

We got to a point where we had a good batch of song ideas for the new "Zero Days" album. But I started scratching my head asking "What do we need now?". I expressed that to him. I think he went and listened to our "Rude Awakening" record, in order to get a vibe for that period of Prong. While on the road with Prong opening for Obituary and Exodus in Europe Chris emailed me an idea; the main riff and chorus idea for " Divide And Conquer". I guess since we were out with these very hard bands I was hoping he would send me something a little more brutal or heavy for I was initially questioning it. I wasn't going to pan the idea. He was very excited about it. I thought that maybe when I got some different vocal melodies rolling and lyric together I would see if it was a keeper. It definitely took awhile. When I got off tour I got cracking on this idea that Chris called "Division". I had an alternate lyrics and verse melody written for this one as well like some of the others. But that of course got trashed. I had a little different take on the chorus than Chris did. There was just something about the vocal register that was annoying me silly. I also messed with the guitar parts a bit, moving away from block chords to a more open approach and making some power chords more dissonant but still accessible .I just needed to give the idea a bunch of love and then I finally got as confident in the song as Chris always was. Chris totally approved of my changes thankfully! Good call by Chris on that one. We love these collaborative successes!

The Core re-release coincides with the album's 25th anniversary and will drop September 29. The special edition includes four CDs, the original album on vinyl and a DVD of music videos.

The Beatles icon's rocking new tune is a celebration of the musician's life on the road, the tour bus life and "kicking ass" on stage, boasting we "play really tight, play really loud."

In honor of the band's debut album All We Know Is Falling turning twelve (original release date was July 26, 2005), the singer tweeted a video of the group performing an unreleased cut from that era called "Temporary."

The Northern Studios session recording of the tune follows a stripped-down demo version originally included in the 1999 reissue of the Boston, MA band's 1978 debut.

The expanded "Candy-O" reissue features the original album plus six bonus tracks of alternate mixes and the previously unissued version of "They Won't See You."

An expanded reissue of The Cars' third album, "Panorama", will also be released on July 28. The expanded reissue of "Panorama" presents the original release plus four bonus tunes, including the previously unreleased songs "Shooting For You," "Be My Baby" and "The Edge."

The band's first new album in five years will be entitled "Wonderful Wonderful" and will be their fifth studio effort so far. The new record will feature the following 10 tracks:

"When The Head And The Heart asked me to join them on the road to make a video for "City of Angels," there were many moments, big and small, that made it a trip of a lifetime, says director Claire Marie Vogel. "Record store shopping in a thunderstorm, backstage birthday parties, a summer ski lift through Catskills mountains, all night bonfires on a California beach, surprise songs in a Charlottesville bar, mini golf beside a river. It was a thrill to be a welcomed fly on the wall and treated as one of the gang."

Grohl was coy about special guests on the record, but he did confirm that neither Adele or Taylor Swift sang on the album, as had been previously rumored.

Now, Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) has shared a lengthy statement that explains his announcement to run, reveals why he's selling political swag and encourages fans to register to vote so they can help make a change in Washington.

Here's Rock's statement: "When my name was thrown out there for U.S. Senate I decided to launch kidrockforsenate.com, I was beyond overwhelmed with the response I received from community leaders, D.C. pundits, and blue-collar folks that are just simply tired of the extreme left and right bulls�. As part of the excitement surrounding this possible campaign, I decided to take a hard look to see if there was real support for me as a candidate and my message or if it was just because it was a fresh new news story.

This past Tuesday night, the group stopped through Paris on The Joshua Tree Tour and were joined by legendary singer and poet, Patti Smith, who lent vocals to "Mothers of the Disappeared."
