Foo Fighters Stream Brand New Song The Line

The concert will be taking place at The Chance on September 15th and will feature Ace's current solo band and Four By Fate, a group that was formed by key members of Frehley's Comet.

Four By Fate will be supporting their album "Relentless" and the band lineup is led by Tod Howarth (Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, and Frehley's Comet) and John Regan (Frehley's Comet).

According to Ultimate Classic Rock, artist Vincent Castiglia used Allman's blood as well as blood from the singer's children for the portrait, based on a Neil Preston photograph. It will be included in deluxe editions and the initial vinyl run of the new release.

Castiglia explained that Allman approached him in 2015 to create the portrait, with the artist storing vials of the singer's blood for more than a year, beginning the work shortly after Allman's passing.

"Oh, that was nerve-wracking. I was so nervous," bassist Robert DeLeo tells Billboard. "There's something about volume and turning things up so loud that allows you to hide behind the wall of sound, and there we were doing something we'd only done together when we were alone in a room, just us.

"I remember getting to 'Creep,' and I have a little vocal part in there where I answer [singer] Scott [Weiland], and looking back at the video you see my hands were shaking, I was so nervous. It was part of growing as a musician in front of a large audience. No one prepares you for that."

The Music Rising charity first began in 2005 in New Orleans as a response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. David "The Edge" Evans organized the initiative in order to get instruments back into the hands of displaced musicians, giving professional and amateur players alike the opportunity to continue making a living with their craft.

The second single from Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" peaked at No. 72 on the US Cash Box Top 100 Singles chart in March of 1974, while the project went on to become one of the biggest-selling albums in music history at more than 50 million copies worldwide.

The "Us And Them" footage - one of the extras in the upcoming set - was captured during the South American leg of Gilmour's tour in support of 2015's "Rattle That Lock."

"This is the first time I've ever been to South America, and I was quite excited," explains Gilmour. "The venues were vast; we're playing to 50,000 people a night. The audiences are so fantastically enthusiastic but so polite, at the same time."

"It's a hard rock stomper, but got a little psychedelic tinge at the end," says Cameron. "One of my main influences has always been (Pink Floyd co-founder) Syd Barrett and this song has a weird sort of psychedelia in there like his music."

Due September 22, the set sees Cameron taking center stage as vocalist and songwriter while surrounding himself with experienced musicians for the project - including the rhythm section of drummer Mark Guiliana and bassist Tim Lefebvre from David Bowie's 2016 album, "Blackstar."

"Mark's performance on the title track was kind of mind-blowing," Cameron tells Rolling Stone. "That was kind of what I was hearing for a drum performance, so I just reached out through Instagram or Facebook and he got right back to me. Once he was on board I had a little more confidence to complete the project."

In the picture, Chester is seen leaning against a rail surrounded by family, beaming and glancing toward the ocean. "This was days b4 my husband took his own life," Talinda wrote. "Suicidal thoughts were there, but you'd [never know]."

The celebrated group features original Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir alongside singer/guitarist John Mayer, Allman Brothers' bassist Oteil Burbridge and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti.

The tune was produced by Brendan O'Brien last year while the Atlanta outfit worked on their current album, "Emperor Of Sand." Due September 22, the 4-song EP also features "North Side Star", "Blue Walsh" and the title track, which were produced by Nick Raskulinecz and recorded during sessions for the band's 2014 album, "Once More 'Round The Sun."

The tune is one of two songs - along with "Solace" - originally recorded during the sessions for the band's 2004 debut, "One Day Remains", that are making their first appearance on record with the new package.

The 3-CD set captures Alter Bridge in concert at the London O2 venue on November 24, 2016 alongside a disc of 13 rarities from their career. "Live At The O2 Arena + Rarities" will be available as a 3CD set, and limited deluxe editions - including a 4-LP set and a CD/DVD Earbook - which also include an exclusive Alter Bridge documentary featuring extensive interviews with the band, their crew, and family, giving a glimpse behind the scenes of the group's biggest UK show to date.

The band combined David Bowie's "Heroes," Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun," Linkin Park's "Crawling," Prince's "Purple Rain" and George Michael's "Freedom" for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. John Lennon's iconic "Imagine" is also woven throughout.

When I wrote Haunted, it came naturally - almost too naturally that it scared me. The song really fell out quickly like it was ready to be born. I started with the instrumental, I heard it in my head, and recorded a demo of it called "Haunted". Usually my instrumental titles don't end up being the title of the actual song, but I knew I had a special concept with that name. I could hear the vocal melody in my head, but I wanted to meditate on the lyrics for a while. I took a trip to Nashville, heard entirely too much commercial country music, and I wrote "Haunted" the night I was out and about exploring downtown Nashville on Broadway. I wrote it very quickly. So, naturally, I went back and tweaked it a dozen times until I decided to go with the original lyrics I wrote. I went home back to Denver and recorded the vocals, and I had been overthinking it so much that I wasn't excited about the finished product at first. I showed my drummer the demo, and his response led me to believe I was onto something special. When my band finally learned the song and we got to record it in the studio professionally, the way my producer immediately started jamming, the way my bandmates moved with their whole bodies when they played it, I knew this track was "the one" for us. The first time we played it live, the audience came to life and started jumping and screaming. This is a song about feeling tormented about your past, not being able to let go of someone or something, whether it's right or wrong. It's about wanting what you can't have. I think we can all relate to the meaning in some extent - it's a song about temptation, yearning, and regret. It's hard-hitting, soft and pop when it needs to be, and then it kicks back up in your face and draws you in. The music video portrays each band member in their own storyline about what haunts them in their life. Everyone has that "one thing" that follows them forever, and we're reminded that we're all alike in a lot of ways.
