Music Icon Leonard Cohen Dead At 82

Mason and mix/mastering engineer Andy Jackson were on hand to introduce the package via a live stream ahead of the November 11 release of the massive project, which presents 130 tracks from the band's formative years.

The drummer says the public's passion for high quality audio and the advancement of home sound systems makes the timing of the box set ideal.

"We've been through a dark period of everyone listening to everything on earbuds and MP3 players," explains Mason. "Now we're coming out the other side. It's really quite important - in the studio you spend a lot of time and energy really trying to get this perfect sound, make it as good as you can. It's pretty depressing when people don't experience any of that.

"I think the resurgence of vinyl, and people looking at filling their living rooms with big speakers, it's a good thing to do. I'd like more people to get turned on to really good sound."

The sixth stop on the band's South American leg - which opened in Lima, Peru on October 27 - saw the reunited trio of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan deliver a 23-song set of tracks from throughout their career, with particular emphasis on their 1987 debut, "Appetite For Destruction."

They sent over the following comments about the new single and EP "This is really cool because we treat these EP's like chapters in our creativity. We know they aren't albums because they aren't cohesive ideas of music, or a story, but they do represent a period in our lives as musicians and putting out the EP marks the end of one chapter and also an exciting new beginning. We have some really cool things in the works that are going to be really challenging but exciting...

Drake posted a black and white photo with West on Instagram, but it's the caption that has fans speculating. "There goes the neighborhood," he wrote. Is that the name of their first single? Or the name of the album itself? It's not entirely clear, but both Drake and West own houses in Calabasas, California.

It was outside that blink-182 concert that he made a bold exclamation. 'I'm going to walk someday." Yex found inspiration in MGK's message, citing the rapper's upbringing from nothing and his positive message 'Lace Up."

"There was no hope in Cleveland," MGK told 92.3 AMP Radio's Shoboy and Nina about the state of Cleveland at the time. 'This kid' he pulled up to me, he was like, 'Yo, I've literally watched you for the last three years on this mixtape circuit out here. You came to our high school once' the stuff that you do' it motivates me. I have cerebral palsy. I'm going to walk one day. And when I do that, I want you to be there.'"

It has also been revealed that Entertainment Tonight host Kevin Frazier and The Insider's Keltie Knight have been tapped to team up to host the annual broadcast.

Rihanna's character is supposed to be an alien stripper who works at a bar run by Ethan Hawke's character. She appears in the trailer for just a moment at the 1:17 mark. In the brief snippet, she approaches Valerian (Dane DeHaan), who appears to be at her place of employment.

Rihanna wears a sleeveless tuxedo costume, but when she removes her bowler hat she transitions from the more masculine ensemble into a Marilyn Monroe-type of seductress with a shimmering silver dress and blonde hair.

Two years ago, they reported they would be leaving their native London to record in Marfa, Texas, but it turns out that was only the beginning of the album's journey. I See You ended up going on a much longer trek to get to fans. The xx recorded it over two years in New York, Marfa, Reykjavik, Los Angeles, and London. Jamie xx and Rodaidh McDonald produced (via Pitchfork).

Miranda tweeted, "What, y'all though we'd leave Schuyler Sisters unremixed? Room Where It Happens? One Last Time? OF COURSE vol. 2!"

The Wings founder tweeted a video of himself standing frozen over a piano while a snippet of the track plays. Goofy Paul really is the best Paul. McCartney was participating in the #MannequinChallenge, a social media sensation that gets folks to freeze on video while a song (usually the Sremmund track) sets the soundtrack.

The chart-topping lineup consisted of acoustic tributes and shined light on Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides educational support to spouses and children of America's fallen and wounded soldiers.

The patriotic show began with 'The Star Spangled Banner," sang by iconic Blackhawks anthem singer, Jim Cornelison. As always, he hit every note flawlessly while the crowd waved tiny flags. Shortly after, Chase Rice kicked things off with his hit 'Ready, Set, Roll," and was joined on stage by Dan + Shay, Big & Rich and Randy Houser.

Rice filled the crowd in on how he came up with his first single 'Cruise," and ended with his newest hit, 'Everybody We Know Does." 'It's important because it's my life, it's real," he explained.

Throughout the new video, Miller is walking and dancing around a (presumably chilly) beach while roving cameras capture his movement from above.

The rapper and the former baller stop by Los Angeles-based luxury soap boutique Soaptopia, and sniff out their favorite scents in the commercial. When Lamar comes across a soap labeled "Red Hot Lover," O'Neal tells him to add it to their basket. Lamar goes to shoot while O'Neal holds the round wooden basket at chest level, but Lamar ends up hitting O'Neal in the head before it bounces into the basket. "It still went in!" O'Neal excitedly shouts.

The lineup also includes Bassnectar, The Lumineers, Flume, Wiz Khalifa, Pretty Lights, Solange, Rae Sremmurd, Young The Giant and Porter Robinson.

Rumors about a new album began earlier this week when a photo of upcoming releases posted at an F.Y.E. store began circulating. Childish Gambino's then-unannounced album was among future titles. He confirmed yesterday by tweeting a picture of the cover art along with the album's title.

First, there was the album cover: Tom Petty looking a bit defiant, a bit nonchalant. Was he part of the Ramones' school of stripped down rock? Or part of a new generation of southern-rock bands, following the path of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band? Was he "new wave?" He kind of looked like all of the above. His face told the story: "I don't give a s� where you categorize me." As he explained in the title of one of the album's strongest tracks, he was about "Anything That's Rock and Roll." That's the attitude he'd carry with him over the next four decades. He'd laugh, or sneer, at the music industry's latest trends, while consistently selling out arenas, decade after decade.

The album kicked off with "Rockin' Around (With You)," introducing itself with an updated rockbilly beat, but sneering group vocals, "Whyyyyyyyyyy be lonely/Whyyyyyyyy be blue?" It was a perfect combination of American rock and roll, filtered through the lens of the British invasion, with just a hint of punk flavor.

When I began working on my third studio project and happened to watch a video on YouTube called "Just A Common Solider" I knew I had to write a song as a tribute to my grandfather and his service to our country during WWII.

Within a few days of D-Day, on June 6, 1944, Milton Smallwood Alexander, a 26- year-old Texan and my grandfather, landed on the shores of Normandy with a tank regiment of the Third Armored Division. As a tank driver, he was one of the brave Americans who liberated France, Belgium, and then Germany before returning home to resume a "normal life." Like many of the Veterans of WWII, nightmares must have wrestled in his head of that horrific war, especially those of fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and watching his best friend die beside him as a deuce-and-a-half accidentally rolled over him, ultimately saving my grandfather's life. For that generation of men, war was not discussed, though we can only surmise that the experiences they had were with the "Greatest Generation" for a lifetime.

With this generation of men (and women) quickly passing away, I wanted to write a song that told their story but that other veterans and active-duty service men and women could relate to as well. As Billy O'Rourke and I began working on this song, the theme that kept coming back during the songwriting process was the thought that those men and most soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen "Didn't Think Twice" about their sacrifices and would do it all over again a hundred times over if given the chance. The first two verses of the song are biographical but the last verses and bridge are generic and were purposely written so that any veteran from any war could relate. We also purposely wrote the song to address suicide since we lose approximately 22 vets a day.

As an artist, singing a song honoring our military and veterans is one of my favorite parts of every show. As a songwriter, penning something so personal and emotional was life altering for me. My only regret about this song is I didn't have the words to write it before my grandfather died.
