Video Of Original Foreigner Lineup Reunion Performance Goes Online

Billed as "A Paranormal Evening With Alice Cooper", the month-long headline run will begin in Windsor, ON on March 1 and wrap up in Indianapolis, IN on March 29.

Cooper's 27th album, "Paranormal" reunites the rocker with producer Bob Ezrin and includes guest appearances by U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr., ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover.

Sources at the Wayne County Medical Examiner's office confirmed to WWJ Newsradio 950 that Vicky Cornell arrived in Detroit last Friday with an entertainment attorney. They had a meeting scheduled with the Medical Examiner, but were so late that the Examiner wasn't able to keep the appointment. The widow was able to pick up slides that were taken as evidence in the case.

During their set, the Foos brought three special guests up for as many covers (via Billboard). First, Rick Asley took the stage and sang a rocking version of his 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up," embellished with aggressive guitar parts similar to passages of Nirvana's legendary "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; The Foos and Astley played the same version during their episode of Carpool Karaoke and earlier at the O2 Arena in London.

"This is the song that started us down the rabbit hole with our recent cover recordings," said frontman M. Shadows in a press release. "I've always loved this song and though I felt it would be impossible to capture the somberness of the original, we approached it with another purpose. There's a poignancy to the song that seems appropriate with everything going on in the world today. We put a bit of a modern twist on it to reintroduce it at a time when it might help capture what some of us are feeling."

"For many of my songs, the musical idea gestates for an insane amount of time - some 5-6 years. Homecoming had a gestation period of about 3 years and when it came time to finishing writing our new album, Sitcoms for Aliens, it was one of the first to be finished.

I was struggling over the verses for a long time before it clicked on a drive to the mall one night. I record voice memos all the time and, luckily, I was able to grab this idea before it slipped away.

Lyrically, I hate discussing religion because 1. I'm agnostic and 2. I don't EVER want to be mistook for a religious musical group. That said, I talk about a 'god' in Homecoming because I thought it was interesting exposing that moment when an individual questions their own spirituality - questions their own existence. I have my own idea about what "coming home" means but I like to leave it to interpretation.

I've always wanted to write a song for a movie, and this was about as close as I've gotten, though it was written before the new Spider-Man movie was even announced. Maybe one day..."

The team was playing the LSU Tigers, and between the third and fourth quarters, the entire stadium broke into song. The stadium crowd of 90,000 college football fans sang "I Won't Back Down," which was captured on video and social media.

They began the concert with an upbeat cover of "American Girl" that segued straight into their own hit "Mr. Brightside." Later in the evening, frontman Brandon Flowers addressed the crowd, telling them how he felt about Petty:

"It was just like somebody stabbed you in the heart when you heard that he died," he said. "His music will never die and we wish we could tell him we're grateful for all he did," Flowers continued before The Killers launched into a melancholy cover of Petty's "The Waiting."

The songs have been remastered by a special process called "audio source separation." This means the radio audio has been de-mixed and each element isolated, so that each one can be "rebuilt, rebalanced and remixed to achieve a fuller, more substantial sound."

The deluxe edition of On Air features 32 tracks in total, from " (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" to "The Spider and the Fly" and three Chuck Barry covers. Even die-hard Rolling Stones fans may not recognize some song titles from the full track list, since they've all but disappeared from the band's catalog until now.

QOTSA were the last band to play before the headlining Foo Fighters when they dropped in a taste of "Everlong" during their fan favorite single from 2000, "Feel Good Hit of the Summer."

McKeag is joined on the album by drummer Charlie George and bassist John Krylow and the self-titled record was recorded with producer Scott Hackwith [The Ramones] in downtown Los Angeles at Cassette Recordings.

With much of the material from "In The Wake Of Poseidon," "Lizard" and "Islands" now being performed by the current King Crimson line-up (2014 - to present), it is only in recent years that the wider world has begun to realise what fans have always known: this era's recordings are as vital as any other segment of the King Crimson catalogue.

Ellen asked him how the tragedy had informed his feelings about performing. "When something like this happens, does this put fear into you? 'Cause no one would imagine anything like this could happen, and then it does, and now you're touring � how do you feel?"

The special Christmas show is scheduled to take place outside of Los Angeles at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, CA on December 2nd. We were sent this additional information"

Hollywood has been rocked by the reports of Weinstein's behavior which broke this week after years of rumors and innuendo. "I do not know all the women who have come forward per the New York Times piece on Harvey Weinstein and I am not a fan of many of them, in many ways, especially of their politics (I am certain they are not too fond of me or mine as well!)," Rock wrote on his official website.

"But I applaud their courage to come forward and support them all 100%. Most of us in the entertainment business have heard of these disgusting stories for years about these scumbag heads of studios, record labels, Fortune 500 companies, etc and how they prey on young women and men, especially in Hollywood," he continued.

McCartney shared an image of himself and Lennon working over a studio mixing desk. "Reaching out to Johnny on his birthday. Love Paul," reads the warm caption.

"The approach was just making noise, getting back to our roots of being a rock & roll band and just playing our instruments and letting the sound bounce off the walls," singer Nicholas Petricca explained to Rolling Stone

"Sonically, we're reaching for taller, wider, and more vast, more epic sounds," he said. "But the lyrics are kind of the opposite. They're much more personal and are very close to the heart, very raw."
