Rush's Geddy Lee Will Not Perform At Rock Hall Induction

The headline performance at the event will feature the debut of Roadcase Royale, the new band formed by Heart's Nancy Wilson and features Liv Warfield from Prince's New Power Generation.

"It's truly a privilege to be hosting this event especially knowing that it will benefit Paul's daughter October," explains Backstage Auctions founder Jacques van Gool.

The auction will feature Paul's personal tour used bass guitars, amps, cabinets, gear, stage worn apparel, set lists, tour itineraries, signed items, record awards, personal passes and a whole lot more. Among the many highlights is a selection of over a dozen tour, studio and album recording used bass guitars, as well as several early day signature Slipknot jumpsuits.

"Each of the guitars and jumpsuits has their own story to tell and represent a significant element of Paul Gray's touring and recording history,", comments van Gool. "I have personally worked with Brenna Gray over the past 18 months and her final selection of items from Paul's collection is amazing and truly honors Paul's legacy. She has hand-picked items that will appeal to Paul Gray and Slipknot collectors all around the world".

Directed by Tim Mattia, the clip presents singers Chester Bennington and Kiiara in a support group-setting struggling with their demons and, ultimately, themselves, culminating in an intense bathroom fight scene.

"What's funny is, like, this song is, like, not a heavy song," Bennington tells Music Choice, "but I destroyed more stuff making this [clip] than, like, any other song. It was more violent and more intense making this video than any other video. I got into fistfights with myself, fistfights with other people, breaking a bunch of stuff. I got to take a lamp and throw it through a television set. I wrecked so much stuff, it was awesome"

Unlike most lead singles, guitarist and keyboardist Mike Shinoda says the song really does represent the essence of what the group were striving for with "One More Light."

Besides including the original album, the 30th anniversary edition will also feature a live recording of the band's Madison Square Garden concert in 1987, B-sides from the recording sessions, remixes (from Daniel Lanois, St Francis Hotel, Jacknife Lee, Steve Lillywhite and Flood) and an 84-page hardback book featuring never before seen photography shot by The Edge during the original Mojave Desert photo session in 1986.

Rock's new charcoal grill is made completely in the U.S. and he had this to say, "I'm not gonna lie. It is more expensive to make things in America. But it's important to me. I love America, and I want to do all I can to create manufacturing jobs at home,"

We were sent these additional details:The American Badass Grill's dual-damper system and natural convection environment give you total control to grill high and hot or low and slow - just like larger professional units. The 200 square inches of grilling space can hold up to twelve burgers all at once - or three beer can chickens.

Pearcy had these comments about the new album, "It took long enough to finish the new record Smash and it is well worth the patience taken, giving every song as much attention as the next.

"Erik Ferentinos (lead guitars & co-writer), Greg D' Angelo (drums) and Matt Thorne (bass, keyboards) and myself didn't settle on any first, second or third takes.

The group features member of Soilwork and Arch Enemy and the new album was recorded at Handsome Hard Studio in Lund, Sweden. Frontman Bj�rn Strid had this to say about the new effort:

"'Amber Galactic' was made during late nights and way too early mornings, when sometimes, in the corner of your eye, you can catch a glimpse of another dimension, where all the women are heartbroken space commanders in evening gowns, the champagne is always free and the drugs won't hurt you.

The song comes from the Bratana's recently released album "Rockin' Addiction" which was produced by Biohazard frontman Billy Graziadei and hit stores in late January.

Bratana frontman Val Lapin had this to say, "'Kill Puppets' started as a riff, then the vocal melody and the lyrics. When the first version of the song was finished , Billy proposed having Sen Dog rapping on it , I loved the idea.

"As a longtime LOA fan, Director Leigh Brooks instantly knew exactly what we were going for. He's been a fan since the early nineties and we finally met at the Electric Ballroom gig in London last year. He shot that show and we immediately became friends. He's a super talented guy with great vision and a deep passion for this band. He and his crew got pretty banged up shooting this one (laughs).

The U.S. coheadlining trek, which they are calling The Heavy Planet Tour, is scheduled to begin on March 17th in in Gainesville, FL at the High Dive and will wrap up on April 30th in New Orleans, LA at Gasa Gasa.
