Metallica Share Behind The Scenes Video Of House Of Vans Show

Buckethead was a member of Axl Rose's outfit from 2000 to 2004, and he was replaced two years later by Bumblefoot, who remained until 2014 - although he avoided confirming his departure for some time afterwards.

And although the pair never worked together in their Guns N' Roses years, they'd discussed the possibility earlier in their careers. Towards the end of an interview with Nova Radio Newcastle, filmed by EzeazPi, Bumblefoot is told the camera operator is a Buckethead fan.

He says: "You don't have to choose - you can have us both. Tell you what, he'll play guitar, I'll sing, then I'll harmonise and we'll sort it out. We'll make something special together.

"I'll give a shout to Mr Buckethead. Hello! We met long ago, before you joined Guns, before I joined Guns. We were going to make some music together in the late 90s. Never happened.

The code, named Speak(e)ar, repurposes the speakers in earbuds or headphones to use them as microphones, converting the vibrations in air into electromagnetic signals to clearly capture audio from across a room.

It also uses Realtek audio chips, a common component in many Windows and Mac computers, to re-task the computer's output channel as an input channel, even when the earphones are plugged into an output-only jack.

Shelton will be kicking off the Doing It To Country Songs Tour featuring RaeLynn on February 16th in Bakersfield, CA and has announced dates that run through March 17th where the trek will hit Chicago.

"I think 'Any Ol' Barstool' is probably one of the best written songs on the album," said Aldean. "The guy is just trying to convince her that he's doing fine, not drinking too much.

They performed their new Christmas single at the Grand Ole Opry for the CMA Country Christmas which will be broadcast on ABC on November 28th at 8/7c.

A studio version of the song has just been released and Alexander had the following to say, "I got a good dose of that warm southern hospitality from the folks from Black River Records and the Nashville country music community, and performing with Kelsea Ballerini was amazing. I'm really proud of the work we've done and excited to share our new holiday single with the world."

Ballerini adds "Putting out 'Favorite Things' with Joey has been one of my proudest and most exciting projects and moments so far. He is so incredibly talented and, more so, so humble.

The fan, named TJ, reportedly held up a sign requesting to perform Under And Over It with the band - and they granted his wish. It's not the first time Five Finger Death Punch have got the crowd involved in their antics. They recently staged their own mannequin challenge featuring 10,000 people at one of their shows.

She's just released a 3CD and 4LP titled Before The Dawn which was recorded during her 22-date run in London in 2014 - Bush's first full live performances since 1979.

Bush tells The Fader: "I'm really very happy if people can connect at all to anything I do. I don't really mind if people mishear lyrics or misunderstand what the story is.

"I think that's what you have to let go of when you send it out in the world. I'm sure with a lot of paintings, people don't understand what the painter originally meant, and I don't really think that matters.

"I just think if you feel something, that's really the ideal goal. If that happens, then I'm really happy."

Reflecting on her decision to play live and revisit her older material, Bush reports it was an "interesting challenge" to work with The Ninth Wave and A Sky of Honey, rather than focusing on a collection of single tracks.

She adds: "It was within such a specific context, because the setlist was very much put together for a live event. Through that process, the songs naturally evolved because I was working with a band, a lot of whom I never worked with before. I just chose tracks that I wanted to do, that really worked with the band, and to keep it really focused in a rhythmic way.

Rationale had the following to say about the deeply personal inspiration behind the new track, "Prodigal son is an autobiographical song that came around accidentally.

Highlights of the special event will include acoustic performances from Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler of The All-American Rejects and Aaron Gillespie (Underoath/The Almost).

Johnny Lee, Collin Raye, Charley Pride, Janie Fricke and Mark Chesnutt will all be appearing on "Reflections" which airs on The Heartland Network Thursdays 8/7c (6 p.m. CST on WLLC 42.4 in Nashville) and Saturdays 4/3c

We travel A LOT. In fact, Ty [Greenstein] & I met on the road. Our previous bands (Girlyman and Coyote Grace) toured together for a year in 2011, and during many long van rides together, the chemistry was undeniable. It has always been such a strange and wonderful relief to know that my wife is the same kind of crazy wandering minstrel that I am, as it's really not everyone's cup of tea to wake up and fall asleep in a different zip code every night for weeks at a time.

But even though we both tend to feel even more at home on the road than we do in our own house, we are also total comfort creatures, foodies, and homebodies. When I wrote this song, we were living in Berkeley, CA taking an unprecedented chunk of time off the road (roughly one year) to rest and re-evaluate the next chapter of our lives after both of our bands had ceased touring.

During that time, we were both participating in a songwriting project called "Real Women Real Songs". The objective was to write one song per week for the entire year of 2014 (with everyone working from the same prompt each week), and then post a video of the song on YouTube. Previously, I was more of a 1-2 songs a year at best kind of writer, so it was a pretty daunting task. But since I wasn't busying myself with non-stop travel and booking tours, I welcomed the creative challenge. At that time, I was really digging the little mundane things - like tending my own vegetable garden, elaborate homemade meals, or sleeping in the same bed (OUR bed!) for more than a few nights in a row. Things that are extremely novel to someone always on the run.

This particularly week, I was struck by the positive message and interminably catchy beats of Michael Franti's music. All the songs I wrote during this challenge were done with a simple ukulele (as I am predominantly an upright bass player), so that was a natural fit. I often found myself whistling to fill in the "solo section" or to create a melodic hook. The prompt for this song was "Happy", and originally the song was called "Happy Home." But after some marination, I decided that the lovey dovey schmaltz of the song was already laid on so thick, that calling it "Happy Home" might just be over the top. "Lock & Key" seemed a better (slightly less cheesy) fit. You can actually see the original rough version here

Also, in the original version, I drop the F-bomb in the first line of the song. What can I say? I'm certainly known for my sailor mouth, on and off stage. But for the album, I made the executive decision to keep it PG-rated and replace it with "hell" instead. For the kids, for the grandparents, and mostly for the radio DJs.

Plenty of people think we're crazy for our unpredictable and whimsical lifestyle, but honestly - it totally works for us. This song speaks to the beauty of having the sense of home everywhere we go together. The familiarity among the novel, the seeming novelty of routine, and the steady love that makes it all feel like home, regardless of what zip code we happen to be in that day.
