Phil Collins Still Upset About Paul McCartney Encounter

And he's used the memory to demonstrate how life can be unpredictable. Neither of them were established musicians when they entered the Los Angeles competition in 1984, hosted by veteran drummer Carmine Appice.

Singer tells MusicRadar: "It was a radio station. You sent in a tape and from that they picked 50 people, 15 girls and 35 guys. They had you play in a parking lot - out of that they picked the finalists. Steven Adler didn't get picked for the finals. I remember he was upset.

"His mother went up to Carmine Appice, 'How come my son Steven didn't get picked?' I was standing right on the sidewalk next to him, while his mother was asking Carmine. It had to be an awkward moment."

Brooks had this to say, "It is a joy to work with a company that is all about the customer when it comes to service, and all about the music and its creators when it comes to the music. I applaud Amazon on their commitment to quality and thank them for this opportunity."

Mars will be taking the AMA stage for the very first time at the annual event, which is billed by organizers as "world's biggest fan voted" music awards shows.

Since the late pop star left no will, Carver County District Judge Kevin Eide has taken on the role of sorting out Prince's estate, reports Rolling Stone. Judge Eide has ruled that the Nelsons had presented enough of a case to be considered heirs and did not have to undergo genetic testing.

But Prince's siblings claim that there's no genetic connection to tie Brianna and Victoria to Prince and also insist the relationship has no merit under Minnesota law. They argue that a parent-child relationship must be validated through genetics, adoption, assisted reproduction or an established presumption of parentage laws.

The sequel, which in mix tape style will be titled Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , is set to be released next year, and Gunn has just posted the film's first poster.

The exhibition and retail project is called Roc96 and will open at 347 West Broadway from October 20 to 24. Fans can peruse a true-to-life replica of the Studio B Control Room, where Reasonable Doubt was recorded in sessions with DJ Premier.

Judging from the clips she has posted, it looks like Swift will perform a mix of original hits and more recent work when she hits the stage this Saturday night (Oct. 22) at the Formula One United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

"Can you guys do me a favor? Can you guys just relax for about two seconds?" he asked. 'I get it, I get it, but I'm like two feet away from you. And I can hear you. I appreciate all the love, it's amazing. But can you show it in a different way? Screaming is just so obnoxious."

"We're super excited, but it's hard to talk about because it's a nomination. The jury's still out," Navarro tells Billboard. "Of course it's very much an honor and we'd love to be in the Hall, but we don't want to jinx it. We're a three-time Grammy-nominated band that has never won the Grammy, and here we are now with another nomination. It's hard to pull the trigger of excitement just yet, but we're secretly psyched to be nominated."

The Rock Hall named Jane's Addiction as 2017 nominees Tuesday alongside 18 other acts, including many who are influences or contemporaries of the Los Angeles band who formed in 1985.

"The company we're in, it's pretty spectacular," raves Navarro. "They're all bands that I either grew up with or grew up listening to. So it's a pretty big deal for me to see the MC5, the Cars, Journey, Pearl Jam and Jane's Addiction all being mentioned. It's pretty surreal.

Golden Bomber singer Sho tells TeamRock: "Yoshiki came up to us, like, 'Well, I think I can play drums with you,' and we said, 'Oh my god - whatever you want. We are going to do whatever you want.'

"Of course Yoshiki is a legend, and we accept everything he says. It was like a dream come true, and of course the audience are really excited, but we're the ones who are most excited - we're like kids in a candy store."

The video also includes a cameo from Cheap Trick's Robin Zander, as well as appearances from Paris Michael Jackson and Bobbie Brown. Papa Roach were one of the bands targeted by Steel Panther in their 2009 single Death To All But Metal, in which frontman Michael Starr sings: "Death to Papa Roach, Blink-182 - all those f***ing pussies sound like doggy doo."

Now the singer jokes that the beef has been squashed. Starr tells the Mick James Rock Show: "Both camps got together and signed a truce. A lot of people don't know about this and I don't talk about it...until now.
