Van Halen Star Open To Reunion Tour

Following a brief opening set by Run The Jewels, the Foos hit the stage with their 2002 single, "All My Life", as part of a 19-song performance on the eve of the city hosting Super Bowl 53 between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.

The Foos mixed material from throughout their catalog; they were joined by saxophonist Dave Koz on "La Dee Da" from 2017's "Concrete And Gold" before drummer Taylor Hawkins moved to center stage to handle lead vocals as surprise guest Roger Taylor of Queen stepped behind the kit for a take on his band's 1981 classic, "Under Pressure."

Late in the show, Zac Brown and Tom Morello joined the Foos for a cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs", before Perry Farrell joined the lineup for a run-through of Jane's Addiction's "Mountain Song."

The "Journey Through Time" series will see the Journey founder and guitarist celebrate the band's legendary catalog and classic hits, while presenting rarely-performed tracks from the band's first three albums: 1975's "Journey", 1976's "Look Into The Future", and 1977's "Next."

Schon and his Journey and Santana bandmate Gregg Rolie will perform with a lineup that includes former Journey member Deen Castronovo on vocals and drums, Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake) on bass and vocals, multi-instrumentalist Marti Frederiksen and Chris Collins on guitar and keys.

The song is the title track of the UK band's fifth studio album, which was retitled "Hell Bent For Leather" for its US release. The Paris date took place three days before Judas Priest were to support Ozzy Osbourne on a month-long series of UK/European shows, which were postponed on doctor's orders after the Black Sabbath legend came down with a flu and a severe upper-respiratory infection which could develop into pneumonia.

"I want to apologize to all of my fans who have been so loyal over the years, my band, my crew and to Judas Priest for letting you all down," said Ozzy. "However, I promise the tour with Judas Priest will be completed. It's being rescheduled right now to start in September."

The song helped Whitesnake's commercial breakthrough in the US when it reached No. 17 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, while the set peaked at No. 40 on the Billboard 200 on its way to eventual sales of 2 million copies in the country.

"'Slide It In' was always meant to be a structured, more electric modern take on the classic blues-based hard rock that Whitesnake were famous for," says David Coverdale, "but our new Hook City Hooligan, Mixer Extraordinaire Christopher Collier, has hand-tooled this classic record for the 21st century. Hearing all the performances so fresh and so clear after 35 years was amazing. Mel, Cozy and Jon's playing on the record is as vital now as it was all those years ago. All the featured players shine.

"Not only did Christopher get the best out of the recording, but, he gives the album a fresh coat of sonic paint bringing it right up to date. I'm personally thrilled with it."

Malmsteen explains the focus for the new record and what inspired it, "I have always played around with old songs, both live and also in the studio. I did a similar album called Inspirationa while ago (1996), and it was Mascot who came to me and suggested I do a Blues record."

"Now, I grew up in a classically trained family, and people know me for playing in what is called a neo classical style. But when I got a guitar for my fifth birthday, what I would try to emulate were John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - I would jam along to what they did on record with Eric Clapton ('Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton' album). That's something people don't realize about me - I do have a strong interest in the Blues. So, when Mascot came to me with the suggestion of doing an album of songs in this style, it didn't faze me at all. In fact, it seemed so natural."

John 5 had the following to say about the Israel Perez directed promotional clip, "This video begins with total acid-trip rave party for 'Crank It', and the second portion of the song, 'Living With Ghosts', is the come down.

The special single day, 2-stage festival will be headlined by Dance Gavin Dance and the final performers added are We Came As Romans, Sianvar and Royal Coda.

They join the previously announced Periphery, Crown The Empire, Don Broco, Veil of Maya, Intervals, Volumes, Hail The Sun, Eidola, Covet, Strawberry Girls, Thousand Below, and Wolf & Bear.

Dance Gavin Dance's Will Swan had this to say, "Over the past couple of years we've worked with countless stylistically unique bands, so we decided it would be a great idea for Dance Gavin Dance to personally curate our own festival that included a lineup of bands that are not only musicians that we respect and have built bonds with on the road, but in some cases have become close, personal friends.

"We felt that bringing together a diverse and interesting lineup like this would excite all our fans and also complement each other's style.

For the urgent and fiery song, the Nashville-based alternative southern rock band-- fronted by lead vocalist and songwriter Daniel Allen, with Richard Forehand (lead guitar/vocals), Paul Bruens (bass), Beau Cooper (keys/vocals), and Bryan Harris (drums) rounding out the quintet--joined forces with director Adam Porter, whose credits include Jimmy Eat World's video for "I Will Steal You Back." He engagingly captures the band-now celebrating a decade of making music together with over 1,000 live shows--onstage and behind the scenes in Charlotte, Augusta, Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville, Richmond, DC, and New York.

frontman Daniel Allen had the following to say about the Adam Porter (Jimmy Eat World) directed video, "We wanted to give you an all access, behind the scenes look at our fast paced life on the road.

Dead Religion talks about some difficulties which surround religion within the mind. This includes skepticism, doubt, and disbelief on the whole subject. Many people preach about being promised greater stuff if you believe in a certain deity or so, but many debate that as they never believed that anything good would come out of just believing in a thing that does not give back if you just hope for it.

"Idols of disappointment" explains the above reasoning as many people pray in hopes of getting answered, but nothing ever comes back.

With doubts towards a religion, comes an ugly part of this community. Whilst most religions emphasize peace amongst all communities, wars still occur between religions.

In Dead Religion, the line "black as coal, is the heart of the prophet", may come out as hyperbole but if the leaders did not have enemies, all this bloodshed would have never happened in the long run.

The final verse talks about how eternal life can be pictured as the greatest thing that would ever happen after death, but honestly, people who are still alive, people who have not experienced the afterlife, are assuring us that there is something more after our demise.

The world is told to follow the man that would guide us into eternal happiness or whatever, but to be honest, I'd prefer to die and see what happens myself instead of blindly following a religion with high hopes. If it's great, then good for me, if it's not, then I would not be as disappointed.

Our latest single, Dead Religion, is part of our debut album, Dead Religion, which is out on all music platforms.

Whilst we were writing songs for our debut record, we wanted to find a striking name for the entire album. We liked the title track name so much that we have made it represent our whole record!

The writing process was very straight forward, every member pitched in his own ideas, whilst I wrote the lyrics and guitars to the song with help from the others.

We are very proud of releasing Dead Religion, even though if it may sound like a clich� coming from a metal band. Many styles have been implemented on the record and I promise that every track has something that suits every metal music listener!

Music is entirely subjective and we understand if people do not like us at all, but give us a try and see for yourself.
