Metallica Frontman Explains Hardwired Album Title

(Classic Rock) James Hetfield has explained some of the thinking behind the title of upcoming Metallica album Hardwird� To Self-Destruct. The follow-up to 2008's Death Magnetic is released on November 18 and the band have already unveiled Hardwired, Moth Into Flame and Atlas, Rise! from the tracklist.

Hetfield tells Radioacktiva: "A friend of mine, sometimes he and I would get in trouble a lot, and it's just that we're hardwired that way. I need my friends to tell me some better decisions sometimes - and sometimes I don't. I'm wondering if man in general is wired one way or another.

"A lot of these songs deal with man on the planet. Who do we think we are? In the history of the universe we've been around a millisecond, and we think we can control the world and global warming and everything.

"Do we really have that kind of control - or is it that our time is finished? I don't know." Read more here.

Sting Reopens Bataclan By Honoring Victims of Paris Terror Attack

(Radio.com) Just one day shy of the anniversary of the Paris attacks, Sting reopened Paris' Bataclan theater with a spirited, but sobering concert. He began with a minute of silence to honor the 90 killed and dedicated the song "Fifty Thousand" to David Bowie and Prince, among others.

He then called for the minute of silence. The British rocker came on stage promptly at 9 p.m., welcomed by a subdued crowd. Before he played a note he talked about the victims that were killed when terrorists stormed the theater last Nov. 13.

"We've got two important things to do tonight," he said in French. "First, to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the attacks a year ago and to celebrate the life and the music of this historic venue."

"We shall not forget them," he said before launching into 1988's "Fragile," which features the lyrics, "Nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could." Then Sting performed "Message in a Bottle."

He started to list musicians that have died. "David Bowie, Prince, Glenn Frey, Lemmy�" he said before the crowd shouted "Leonard Cohen!" Read more here.

Thomas Rhett Releases 'Star of the Show' Video

(Radio.com) Thomas Rhett released the new music video for "Star of the Show" on Monday (November 14th). The song is featured on the deluxe edition of his "Tangled Up" album.

Shot in a single take, the clever video finds Rhett moving through each scene with viewers aware of what's going to happen thanks to frozen actions laid out just moments ahead of him. In the beginning, he gets up from the couch with a football in hand and walks up to a football frozen in mid-air. Before he reaches it, Rhett throws his football, which passes through the football in mid-air, and he continues on.

The video was directed by TK McKamy. Rhett praised the approach in a statement. "This music video was unlike anything we've shot before, which is why I always love teaming up with TK," Rhett said in a press release. "He captured that feeling I get when [my wife] Lauren walks into a room, no matter where we are, and the spotlight completely turns to her. The song was sped up double-time to get to point A to point B, and there were a lot of moving parts we had to execute perfectly for the video to make sense. We literally got it in the last take of the shoot." Watch the video here.

Singled Out: Scam Avenue's Sailor

Scam Avenue recently released their "Sailor" EP and to celebrate we asked Lawrence to tell us the story behind the EP's title song "Sailor". Here is the story:

One afternoon I was walking down a street in my neighborhood that I had walked down countless times before when out of nowhere I suddenly became very aware of everything being very different.

I remembered certain stores, restaurants, and bars--long since gone--that I hadn't thought about in years. I also thought about the people I used to spend time with in those places; many of them had disappeared from my life, too. And many of the ones who remained had changed in profound ways.

It was like waking up from a dream. Or being awake and dreaming at the same time. The feeling eventually passed but a kind of lingering sadness remained.

So that was the mindset I was in when I wrote the song. When I got home, I sat down at this digital piano I used to have and the music just kind of showed up.

As far as the lyrics go, I don't really know what the song is about in that sense. I wasn't trying to directly express how I was feeling at the time. The words just seemed right.

Devery calls "Sailor" "the prom song," which is maybe the best way to express what I've been trying to say.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the EP right here!
