Chris Cornell's Death Spotlights Drug Dangers Says Rock Legend

The new film, entitled "Day Of The Gusano", was directed by Slipknot's Shawn 'Clown' Crahan and chronicles the band's historic 2015 Knotfest Mexico City experience.

Crahan had this to say, "Slipknot still has dreams for itself. Finally playing Mexico was one of them. It's been a surreal life of rock and roll for Slipknot and the fact that the dreams still go on for us is simply incredible. Thank you."

Auto broker Midwest Performance are handling the sale through eBay's U.K. site. "Being Zeppelin fans ourselves we are very excited to assist in the sale of this iconic Hot Rod," the company writes, in the listing. "Owned by the late John Bonham of Led Zeppelin and featured in the movie 'The Song Remains the Same,' this is a very collectable piece of Rock history.

The duo delivered the project's second single, "Feel About You", and "Love Is Here To Stay" from the set and sat down with host Anthony Mason to discuss the record, which originated from a series of studio sessions in 2014 after McVie reunited with the band for dates on their On With The Show tour.

Buckingham and McVie recorded eight tunes with the drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie before resuming the group's world tour, and when word spread they were in the studio - even without Stevie Nicks - fans wondered if the project started out as the foundation for a new album by the veteran band.

The band recorded the new efforts at the Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN with Vol. 1 exploring their folkish and roots rock side and Vol. 2 delving into their punk-inspired garage side.

"Juniper Road" is being released via Pavement Entertainment and will be the California band's first new studio album release in over a decade, which is the follow-up to their 2005 self-titled album.

The album recordings were captured during the opening night of the House Of Blues in the band's hometown of Cleveland on November 26, 2004 and was the kicked off to the iconic group's reunion tour the next year. A special Edition 3-LP vinyl set will be released later in the year.

The new leg of the trek, in support of their just release self-titled album, will be kicking off on October 12th in Madison, Wi at the Barrymore Theatre and will conclude on November 17th in Atlantic City at the Borgata Casino

The Monster High Tour will be kicking off on October 3rd in Sacramento, CA at the Ace of Spades and will wrap up on November 9th in San Diego, Ca at Brick By Brick.

The band has been doing interviews to promote the forthcoming album OKNOTOK - an expanded version of 1997's OK Computer - and lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood has told Rolling Stone magazine: "When we were at school, we hated and distrusted anything that was successful on a large scale. We just associated it with bands that did guitar solos with big hair. It's already such a preening, self-regarding profession."

Greenwood doesn't name names, but adds: "I've always hated guitar solos. There's nothing worse than hearing someone cautiously going up and down the scales of their guitar.

"You can hear them thinking about what the next note should be, and then out it comes. It's more interesting to write something that doesn't outstay its welcome."

Ken Casey shared the following details about the clip, "The music video for 'Until The Next Time' was directed by our longtime friend and amazing photographer Gregory Nolan during our 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory Tour in both Europe and the U.S.

"This song is about our relationship with YOU, the best fans on the planet. It's about the memories and the great friends we've made along the way�about the pleasure of coming to so many cities that we feel we can almost call home, and the bittersweet moments of having to say goodbye and move on to the next town every night."

Directed by Pascal Teixeira, the tune follows "Lights Out" and "Hook, Line & Sinker" as the third preview of the project, which was recorded in Brussels, Belgium with producer Joylon Thomas and London, UK with co-producer Tom Dalgety.

Ahead of the set's release, bassist/singer Mike Kerr reveals that he and drummer Ben Thatcher experimented with new sounds and techniques for the follow-up to their smash 2014 self-titled debut. "One thing we learned," Kerr tells the BBC, "is we have quite a delicate sound and once you add things - the wrong things - our whole sound sort of shrivels. Or it capsizes and it doesn't sound like us anymore. We've realized a lot of the identity of our music is when me and Ben play together.

"Live at Carnegie Hall" will be Bonamassa's second live acoustic release and comes in a number of formats/packages including CD, triple vinyl, Blu-ray and DVD.

The follow-up to their 1988 studio debut, "Nothing's Shocking", "Ritual de lo Habitual" saw Jane's Addiction embrace their psychedelic and progressive sides with tracks like "Three Days" and "Then She Did�" while singles like "Stop!" and "Been Caught Stealing" helped propel to the album to triple-platinum status in the US.

"25 years - what a beautiful milestone for both Ritual De Lo Habitual and Lollapalooza," says event cofounder and vocalist Perry Farrell. "As both were great achievements in our lives that also helped change the course of music history, we really sought to come up with a special show for this tour so that the fans could celebrate it with us."

His fabled cherry sunburst Gibson went missing in mid-May when Carlton flew to Germany for a set of shows. According to posts on his Facebook, the Airline misplaced both his guitar and pedalboard, though the board was recovered by the time Carlton left Europe for New York.

Sunny Daze is the one strictly feel-good song on the album. It ultimately came about because I was dating someone new who was very cool, mellow, and was helping me enjoy myself for once. Coming off the heels of a really toxic relationship with an ex-girlfriend, I was in awe of how easy going and feel-good this new thing was. A few of us were laying out playing music on the flat-roofed section of a house in my hometown, Wilbraham, Massachusetts, on the first nice day of the year. We were having drinks and essentially pretending we were on the beach. I think we had a Sublime Pandora station on (or something similar) and a bunch of throwback alt-rock summer songs were playing. After a while the designated DJ's phone died, so we were stuck in silence for a bit. As the lyrics mention, the distant sounds of the street nearby became calming, almost like the sound of the ocean. After a spending a few minutes listening to that, the chorus melody started rattling around in my head and I thought damn, that's pretty cool. I volunteered myself to go inside and get my phone so we could keep playing music, my true motive being to open my voice memo app and get the idea down. At that point I had written the chorus melody and some of the lyrics. I took a voice memo in the bathroom, then went back up on the roof to hang out for a bit longer. After another hour or so I made an excuse to leave and told everyone I would meet back up later that night, and went home and demo'd the whole song.

The original demo was much slower.. more of a laid-back acoustic song. This was right around the time I was talking to the guys at Studio 606 about recording there, so I sent it to their in-house producer Lou the next day. At that point I was still pretty nervous sending demos off to the crew over there, and I still remember getting the email back from Lou saying "this is awesome!"

A few months later, when we went in to record it, we started jamming it in the live room and Taylor (Hawkins) and the guitarist on the song Mick (Murphy) started playing it with the tempo way faster than I intended - it felt too fast to me at the time. Eventually I got used to that sped-up, more arena-rock version and we went with it. The "street sounds" chant in the chorus took a long time to get right - we ended up layering close to 40 takes of my voice to get the sound we wanted.
