Ace Frehley Planning Summer Tour With Music Legend

The paper reports Axl Rose spoke very little and led the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to the son of late Hawaii surfer Andy Irons - Axel, reportedly named after Rose - who turned 8 Saturday and the Andy Irons Foundation was a charitable partner of the event.

Guns N' Roses streamed a pair of songs from the show live via Facebook, including "Sweet Child O' Mine" and a partial clip of the show-closer, "Paradise City."

"Mahalo Hawaii!," posted the band after the show. "Thank you for an unforgettable closing night." Rose hinted at the group's future during the encores, telling the crowd "I want to thank the band, that I'm sure hates me ... We hope to keep this thing running, so we'll see what happens next"

GNR manager Fernando Lebeis posted a picture of Rose walking backstage in a robe after the concert, alongside a caption that reads "The End...?"

The trio of Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan launched the Not In This Lifetime tour with a rare club show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on April 1, 2016; now ending its third year, the trek has been seen by over 5 million fans and is among the top five biggest-selling concert tours in music history with ticket sales of more than $500 million.

"I/we want to thank ALL of you GNR fans who were with us for any of 159 shows on the #NotinthisLifetimeTour!," posted Slash. "It has been an amazing ride. And you guys made it amazing. So thank you from the bottom of my/our heart! Cheers!"

According to Billboard, the tune takes top spot amongst classic rockers ahead of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O'Mine" and "November Rain", and a-ha's "Take On Me."

"So the River of Rock Music has metamorphosed into streams!," says guitarist Brian May. "Very happy that our music is still flowing to the max!"

In a video promoting this year's special New Year's Eve Ozzfest, Ozzy shared his thoughts about the holiday season. He said, "I've been saying to Sharon for ever, 'F*** Christmas, I hate it.' It's for shopaholics and kids and so I've always wanted to work through Christmas.

"We're doing a gig at The Forum on New Year's Eve with Ozzfest, two stages, Zakk Sabbath, Rob Zombie, Ice-T's doing it - a bunch of different people.

The tune was the opening track from the band's second album, "Ride The Lightning", which peaked at No. 48 on the Billboard 200 on its way to US sales of more than 6 million copies.

The Salt Lake City stop marked Metallica's first show in the Utah capital in a decade, and the song's first appearance in concert there in 20 years.

"Filmed in 'Big Sky' Montana, and featuring Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty and Sasha Frolova," says the band, "this project pays tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival's enduring and timeless standard. This is a story about friendship, adventure and nostalgia."

"I knew I wanted to tell a coming-of-age story," says director Laurence Jacobs. "Something distinctly real that encapsulated identity Not teenage years, but specifically your early 20s when you're still growing and trying to become someone.

"My writing partner [Luke Klompien] and I developed this story about three best friends hanging in Montana until one of them moves away. The whole experience was so meaningful. Our crew poured so much love into this thing, and we worked with wonderful Montanans who just opened their doors and wanted to be a part of the experience."

Released as the lead single from the California band's sixth album, "Pendulum", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the project reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

The new album, entitled 'The False Sanctuary', is set for release on December 12th on Bandcamp (pay what you want), along with stream and download on Spotify, iTunes and online retailers. Watch the video here

The project captures the group in a December 2017 concert at London's Eventim Hammersmith Apollo. "As Santa prepares to empty his sack into our collective Christmas chimney, and young faces smeared with festive brandy butter gaze up expectantly, every day is a fun-filled festive frolic of presents and pies," says frontman Justin Hawkins. "Much as you will enjoy your turkey leftovers on Boxing Day, we are serving up Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) again, this time in a tasty live sauce Hooray, eh? A rocking good Christmas to one and all!"

In This Moment Maria Brink had this to say,, "I can't even begin to express how excited we are to be playing Chicago Open Air Presents. We had such a blast last time! Tool, The Prodigy and System Of A Down, that's insane and such a powerful lineup.

The rocker will be on hand to discuss his latest album, "Raise Vibration", which debuted at No. 43 on the US Billboard 200 upon its release this fall.

Produced and recorded by Kravitz at his Bahamas studio, the project's latest single is "Johnny Cash", which was inspired by a rare and unusual encounter with the country music icon.

After returning to Los Angeles in late 1995 to be by his mother's bedside in hospital as she battled breast cancer, Kravitz was staying at producer Rick Rubin's house when he received word that she had passed away and, moments later, he ran into fellow house guests Johnny and his wife June.

One Tin Soldier was written by Canadian songwriters, Dennis Lambert,�Brian Potter perhaps best known for the 1970's movie, Ode To Billy Jack.

I learned the song when I was in school choir and always
loved the message. When I was writing and recording for my new album, Stubborn In My Blood, my husband/producer, Tommy Parham suggested we revisit the song and create our own arrangement. We loved what we came up with and decided to include the track on the album.

When the opportunity came up to feature the song in a lyric video we decided to release it in time for Nov. 11 and the commemoration of the end of WW1. In fact, we performed OTS live at a concert in the UK in Sept. where they honored the Canadian soldiers who fought alongside the British in WW1 and we planted a maple tree in honor of them. It was so moving that people in the audience were crying!

The song's message of greed vs peace is so needed in today's political and social climate. I only hope that recording and releasing this song will reach beyond boundaries and make a difference.
