Scott Weiland Trying Something Different
(TeamRock Radio) Scott Weiland says his upcoming album with The Wildabouts has a different feel from his previous albums. The record, tentatively titled Blaster, has no firm release date, but the frontman says the material they've been working on is a "whole new experience" for him.
He tells Songfacts: "This album is different. When I was with Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, one of the guys would have a song idea and we'd suss it out with the band. Then I'd write my melodies and then write my lyrics to the melodies.
"As a solo artist, I felt free to go off and explore different musical styles and find some sort of cosmic melting pot for it. That was fun, but it was more difficult to bring that to the stage because we had to have more players and a lot of effects.
"This is much more of an indie-sounding record but it still is very much a rock and roll record - there's big, fuzzy riffs and it's a whole new experience."

Former Korn Drummer Apologizes To Fans
(TeamRock Radio) Drummer David Silveria has apologized to fans ahead of Korn's winter tour. The band will play their self-titled debut in its entirety on their upcoming dates with Slipknot to mark its 20th anniversary. But, Silveria, who left the band in 2006, reveals he won't be able to take part in the celebrations.
He says on Facebook: "To all the Korn fans around the world, I want to thank you with all of my heart for all of the success. Without the fans Korn would just be a hobby.
"As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our debut release, I'm sorry to all the fans that I couldn't be there on tour to celebrate - but that's just the way it goes."
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis previously said Silveria lost his passion for music, leading to his departure eight years ago. Read more here.
Superjoint Ritual Reunion A One Off
(TeamRock Radio) Phil Anselmo says the upcoming Superjoint Ritual reunion is "100% a one-off." The band split in 2004 after releasing two albums, and frontman Anselmo said as recently as 2011 that there was "no f***ing way" the group would get back together. The split was down to a disagreement between the Pantera and Down man and Superjoint Ritual drummer Joe Fazzio.
But Anselmo revealed in August that the band would reform - under the shortened name Superjoint due to an unspecified legal issue - for a performance at the Housecore Horror Film Festival later this month. A video of them rehearsing has been released ahead of the show.
Now Anselmo has confirmed the reunion will be short-lived. He tells Jack Antonio: "It is a one-off, 100%, as of right now. It's something that we get asked about quite a bit, but if you look at the guys that are in the band, original members, it's really me and Jimmy Bower and, of course, we've got Kevin Bond coming in on guitar and whatnot.
"But, really, if you look at just Jimmy and me alone, we're gonna be crazy busy coming up in 2015 as well, and Jimmy with Eyehategod and whatever obligations Down decide to take on." Read more here.
Backyard Babies Ending Hiatus
(Classic Rock) Backyard Babies have announced that they have ended their self-imposed hiatus and have returned to the studio with a new album next year due out next year.
The Swedish sleaze rockers called time on the band back in 2009 with guitarist Dregen telling Classic Rock they needed a break after 20 years - 10 of which he said were at an intense level.
But now the band have confirmed plans to return to the stage at next summer's Sweden Rock Festival on a star studded bill with Motley Crue, while a new studio album is also in the works. Read more here.
Led Zeppelin Preview Expanded House Of The Holy
(hennemusic) Led Zeppelin are sharing a video previewing the Super Deluxe Edition of the upcoming expanded reissue of their 1973 release, "Houses Of The Holy", due on October 28.
Released in March of 1973, "Houses Of The Holy" features legendary tracks such as "The Song Remains The Same" and "No Quarter" while also showcasing the continuing evolution of the band's signature sound with the reggae-tinged "D'yer Mak'er" and the funk jam "The Crunge". The album has been certified diamond by the RIAA for sales of over 11 million copies.
The seven unreleased tracks on the companion audio disc include rough and working mixes for "The Ocean" and "Dancing Days" that reveal a deeper look inside the recording sessions of these classic songs. Other standout recordings include the guitar mix backing track for "Over The Hills And Far Away" and a version of "The Rain Song" without piano.
The group are releasing both "Houses Of The Holy" and "Led Zeppelin IV" on the same day. Led Zeppelin kicked off their reissue series in June with the release of expanded editions of the band's first three albums - "Led Zeppelin I", "Led Zeppelin II" and "Led Zeppelin III" - each with a companion disc of bonus material.

David Crosby Confirms CSNY Over, Says Young Angry At Him
(Classic Rock) David Crosby has responded to comments by Neil Young that he will never again tour as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and confirmed that the group is over.
Last week during a solo show in Philadelphia, Young showed the audience a guitar and said: "This was given to me by my good friend Stephen Stills. CSNY will never tour again, ever - but I love those guys."
On Friday, Crosby tweeted: "I hear Neil said 'there will never be any more CSNY shows.' That's like saying there are mountains in Tibet. We know, Neil. We already knew."
When questioned by fans as to an explanation for Young's comments, Crosby replied, "believe me, not going to happen", before adding, "he is very angry with me."
What caused that anger? Read one suggestion of what it was here.
Ozzy Osbourne To Receive MTV Honor
(hennemusic) Ozzy Osbourne will be honored with the Global Icon Award at the 2014 MTV EMA (MTV Europe Music Awards) next month. The Black Sabbath frontman joins the ranks of previous recipients Bon Jovi (2010), Queen (2011), Whitney Houston (2012), and Eminem (2013).
"Ozzy's impact on music and pop culture has been tremendous," says Bruce Gillmer, executive vp of talent and music programming/events at Viacom International Media Networks.

Diamond Head Singer Nick Tart Leaves The Group
(Classic Rock) Diamond Head singer Nick Tart has quit citing the band's reluctance to record a new album as one of the key catalysts in his departure. Tart also admits geography played its part in his decision, with his permanent residence in Brisbane, Australia, making tours and band get-togethers difficult.
A statement on the band's official Facebook page reads: "After 11 years of being the singer for Diamond Head I now feel it's time for me to move on.I was hoping to pen a third album, but making new music with the band became limited. Guitarist Brian Tatler mentioned he had no interest in making a new album, he didn't feel the urge, which I can totally understand.
"After living in Brisbane for nearly six years now, I've been very fortunate to still be able to fly to the UK and US for tours, thanks to hard work and determination of Karl Wilcox our drummer.
"When Diamond Head get offered work, festivals for example, they should be in a position to say yes, without worrying about all the hassle it will take to get me involved."

Cannibal Corpse Say Technical Difficulties Not Protest Stopped Gig
(TeamRock Radio) Cannibal Corpse have blamed the cancellation of a gig in Russia on technical difficulties. The show in Moscow was pulled at the last minute in the wake of fierce opposition from the head of the God's Will movement which wanted to have the tour scrapped amid claims of blasphemy. But the band insist technical issues were to blame, and not the protests from the religious group.
A report in Interfax reports an eyewitness as saying: "Everything was fine, and all the equipment had already been set up on stage. However, a few minutes prior to the concert's scheduled start, the organiser came out and told the audience that the show was cancelled."
Guitarist Pat O'Brien tells C-Lebrity: "We played here several times before and there were no problems." Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz adds: "Nobody cared ever. We figured this was our sixth time here. So the other five times were fine."

Volbeat Begin Work On Next Album
(Classic Rock) Volbeat have already started writing material for their sixth album, which they hope to release before the end of 2015. Frontman Michael Poulson says the band are toying around with some new songs during downtime on their current North American tour with Five Finger Death Punch.
Poulson tells ArtistDirect: "I'm actually working on new songs right now. I just need to put work into them. I have snippets for at least three other songs. When I get home, I'll start to put all of the pieces together. We'll probably try them out again next tour. I'm in the writing process now."
He adds that the group - who include former Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano - will look to progress their sound on the next record, without straying too far from what they are good at. Read more here.
Opeth Frontman 'Too Old' To Understand Modern Metal
(Prog) Opeth frontman Mikael Akerfeldt says he's "too old" to understand what metal means these days. The singer, who previously said he didn't feel an affinity with modern metal bands, is once again wrestling with exactly what the term means.
He tells Full Metal Jackie: "I'm sort of lost about metal, especially since I've done some interviews where I've just said what I thought, and people get upset, because they have different opinions on what metal really is.
"I think I might be too old, to be honest, to understand what the younger generation thinks metal really is these days." Although he feels cut off from the current scene, Akerfeldt insists that he loves its rebellious nature. Read about that here.
Sammy Hagar Releases Birthday Bash Preview Video
(hennemusic) Sammy Hagar has issued a video preview of his belated birthday bash concert, which is set to take place on October 18 at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.
The event will see Sammy Hagar & The Circle featuring Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson playing a setlist spanning four decades - including hits from Montrose, Hagar's solo career, Van Halen and beyond - and with Bonham on board, they can also expect a few Led Zeppelin classics. In addition, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith will join Hagar and Anthony for a special encore by Chickenfoot.
"The good news is we are gonna be recording this," says Hagar. "We're gonna film this...we're not gonna let this get away. Not this big bash. I wanna see all your faces out there… I wanna hear your voices singing along with all them hits. The greatest setlist of all time!"
Hagar, who will turn 67 on October 13, was scheduled to perform his annual birthday shows at his Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on October 7, 9, 11 and 13.
The Red Rocker was forced to move the event following recent damage in Cabo caused by Hurricane Odile. Watch the birthday bash preview video here.
New Lunatic Soul Album Streaming Online
(TeamRock Radio) Riverside's Mariusz Duda has launched an exclusive stream of his Lunatic Soul album Walking On A Flashlight Beam via Prog. And he's admitted the fourth release under his alter-ego was one of his greatest challenges to date.
Duda tells Prog: "I thought I would never finish the album. I didn't have a coherent idea and I didn't want to copy myself. I started to panic. Everything seemed irrelevant and insignificant - there was no depth; the tracks sounded like rejects from previous albums."
He eventually concluded he wouldn't be able to complete the work this year. "I locked myself at home, closed the blinds and switched on my bedside lamp," he recalls. "I looked at my collection of music, films and books and started to watch and read.
"Then it dawned on me. I took the guitar and started to write. The theme was inspired by the life of some artists who escape reality and choose seclusion in order to create. It's probably my most mature album to date - it's also the most diverse and at the same time the most coherent."
Listen to the album here.
Dee Snider Celebrating 60th Birthday With New Song
(TeamRock Radio) Dee Snider will unveil three new songs as part of a career-spanning compilation due out next year. The Twisted Sister frontman will release Rock And Roll Ain't Dead - Dee Snider Essentials 1983-2015 next spring, featuring tracks from throughout his career.
Songs from Twisted Sister, Widowmaker, Desperado, Van Helsing's Curse and Dee Does Broadway will be included in the set, along with the three new tracks - his first in more than 20 years.
He tells Sleaze Roxx: "My writing partner, and inspiration really, is an amazing blues-rock guitarist named Nick Perri. I will be dropping the first single, Rock And Roll Ain't Dead, on March 15, 2015 - my 60th birthday - and the album after that." Read more here.

Get Some was released in 1997 and the band - guitarists Mikey Doling and Sonny Mayo, bassist John Fahnestock, drummer Jamie Miller and vocalist Tommy Vext - will be playing the record in its entirety on the tour as a tribute to singer Lynn Strait, who died in a car crash in 1998.

Frontman Vext adds: "Words cannot describe how excited I am to be getting back on the road with my brothers in Snot. I'm honoured to pay tribute to Lynn Strait and offer Snot fans on an international level the live experience they may not have yet enjoyed."

In Flames Were Under Pressure With New Album
(TeamRock Radio) Swedish metal outfit In Flames say they needed to put themselves under pressure to complete latest album Siren Charms. Their 11th album launched in September and frontman Anders Friden says having just six weeks to write and record focused the band on the task ahead.
He tells the Artisan News Service: "We had a big bag of riffs which were excellent, but they needed structure. We put the framework of the songs together for the first two weeks and that was really exciting.
"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves with this album because we decided to record it in six weeks and last album Sounds Of A Playground Fading was done in twice that time.
"I think we needed that pressure to get this album the way it's supposed to be." Read more here.
Skid Row Singer Releasing Country EP
(Classic Rock) Skid Row vocalist Johnny Solinger has announced he will release a country EP later this month. The EP will be a digital-only release and will launch on October 28.
Titled Scrappy Smith, the recording is a tribute to the frontman's grandfather, who Solinger reveals will hit a milestone birthday next year.
He tells Billboard: "My grandfather's name is Willard Jesse 'Scrappy' Smith, and he turns 100 in April. He still drives down the mountain for coffee every day and he's still kicking. He also goes to the recreational centre to flirt with all the 80 year old girls, so I decided out of love and respect to name the EP after him."

Rob Halford Sees Himself At The Perry Como Of Heavy Metal
(TeamRock Radio) Rob Halford says he loves getting old and that he sees himself as the "Perry Como of heavy metal." The Judas Priest frontman shows no sign of letting up, despite suffering from back problems that have resulted in him using a walking stick in the past.
"Creaking out of bed at 63 is not as easy as leaping out of bed at 16. But I love it. I love getting old, I really do," Halford tells The Morning Call. "I just think that I embrace it because I'm a lucky guy. What a joy - a man of my generation being able to do this sort of thing. It's just remarkable.
"I've had a few health hiccups the last few years, but nothing as dramatic as some people go through in life and I'm grateful that I can still get up and do my work. I do it because they keep coming back. I'm more like the Perry Como of heavy metal." He the came out with a different comparison, read that here.
Nickelback Hit Goes To Hell
(TeamRock Radio) The rowdy Watford punks The Hell won the internet with their cover of Nickelback's How You Remind Me last week that was dedicated to their recently deceased dog Tulisa.
The Hell have released this cover version of Nickelback's breakthrough record How You Remind Me. Of course this being The Hell, there are some differences in the lyrics.
But now it seems Nickelback have seen the video and aren't pleased - as their Twitter account allegedly stated. Although it appears the tweet has now been deleted, The Hell took a screengrab and posted it on their Facebook for all to see.
See the post, The Hell's response and their cover of the song here.

David Bowie's New Song Streaming Online
(Radio.com) David Bowie's new track is a doozy. As in, it's a sizable song length-wise. You're going to want to sit down to listen. The rocker shared "Sue (Or In a Season of Crime)," one of two new songs from his upcoming Nothing Has Changed compilation, over the weekend.
For fans who were worried that just two new tracks wouldn't be enough to quench their appetite for new material, fear not: it's nearly seven-and-a-half minutes long.
"Sue" finds lush, jazzy instrumentation beneath Bowie's vocals, which at least feel as freeform as much of what's going on around him. Swift percussion keeps the beat as saxophones, bass, trumpets and other instruments - all part of the Maria Schneider Orchestra - both solo and provide a bass framework for the track.
"Sue" will be flanked by the song "Tis a Pity She's a Whore" as its B-side. Both will be included on a 10-inch single for Record Store Day on Nov. 28, following the full release of Nothing Has Changed on Nov. 18. The album includes new and unreleased material from Bowie's decades-long career.
Check out the song here.
Corey Taylor Explains Difference Between Slipknot and Stone Sour
(TeamRock Radio) Corey Taylor has bemoaned suggestions that Slipknot and Stone Sour sound too similar. The frontman of both bands says there is a trend for fans to follow the pack rather than make an independent judgement on the music, which he insists is clearly identifiable.
Speaking to his namesake on Las Vegas show Corey Taylor Talks, he says: "I think a lot of it comes down to my voice. Like, there's a lot of people that think when I sing heavy with Stone Sour that I'm trying to do Slipknot. And then vice versa - when I sing more melodic with Slipknot, I'm trying to be more Stone Sour."
He adds: "And it's, like, but you're not hearing the music, you're putting everything together. Like The Devil In I, a lot of people compared it to Stone Sour because a lot of it is melodic until it gets to that chorus and it punches.
"And I'm, like, 'Not really.' It's Slipknot music so it's a Slipknot song. And I think it's because a lot of people, for better or for worse, choose the easy way to figure out what they're thinking about, or what their opinion is." Read more here.
Bob Seger Streaming New Song Ride Out
(hennemusic) Bob Seger is premiering the title track to his new album, "Ride Out", due October 14. The project is the Detroit rocker's first studio album in 8 years, since 2006's "Face The Promise."
"I feel really good about this record," says Seger. "This album touches on how I think a lot of us feel about finding our place in a more complicated world - from how we appreciate things as simple and pure as love, to navigating through the corruption and violence that permeates the news. It sums up a lot of feelings I have about a variety of subjects."
The singer will launch a North American tour November 19 in Saginaw, Michigan, with shows scheduled through to February 2015. The J. Geils Band will join Seger as a special guest in select markets.
Seger will launch the album with a performance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight (Oct 14). Check out the new song here.

Billy Idol Unplugs At CBGB Music Festival
(hennemusic) Billy Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens performed an acoustic set for a sell-out crowd in New York City to kick off the 2014 CBGB Music & Film Fest on October 9.
The unplugged set featured "White Wedding", "Kiss Me Deadly", "Eyes Without A Face" and "Rebel Yell." Prior to the performance, Idol was interviewed on stage by Timothy Sommer about his newly-released autobiography, "Dancing With Myself."
During the interview, the singer recalled the era of CBGB and the punk scene that was happening in NYC in the mid '70s through early '80s. "When I first saw The Sex Pistols they were doing a Tuesday night residency some place with hardly anyone there!", said Idol. "They were doing mostly covers then, mostly The Who songs or Small Faces, and Johnny would take the lyrics and instead of singing 'I want you to know that I love you baby' he'd sing 'I want you to know that I hate you baby'. And I think it just revolutionized how songs could be presented, and how you could make negativity positive, it was fantastic."
"We had really been into Velvet Underground and The New York Dolls, who were influencing artists like David Bowie and then Iggy & The Stooges and MC5," he continued. "So I knew about all that. By the late '70s we would hear and see The Ramones, Blondie, and The Talking Heads at CBGB. We loved what was going on in New York. That's why we wanted to get into punk rock because we knew very much it was all being inspired by what was going on in New York. New York was not only the mecca of punk and music, but living in England, you knew this is where so much great music had come from."
Watch the 4-song unplugged set here.
The Who Release Preview Video For Farewell Tour
(hennemusic) The Who's Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have released a preview video of the band's 50th anniversary farewell tour. "The Who Hits 50!" will see the group present an overview of their career, from The High Numbers to today.
The show, which guitarist Townshend describes as 'hits, picks, mixes and misses', will see the band play all the classic anthems as well as deeper cuts from their extensive catalogue.
The Who will kick off their farewell with an 11-date UK tour starting November 26 in Dublin, Ireland; shows will wrap up December 17 at the 02 in London.

(TeamRock Radio) Flying Colors have premiered the video for their track A Place In Your World with TeamRock. It's taken from the prog supergroup's latest album Second Nature - the follow-up to their 2012 self-titled debut - on sale now via Mascot Label Group.
Neal Morse, Steve Morse, Mike Portnoy, Dave LaRue and Casey McPherson play their only UK show of the year at London's Islington Assembly Hall on October 13.
Drummer Portnoy recently said: "The first album was very much a blind date. This time there was an existing chemistry - we not only had the prior experiences of making the debut album, but also the 2012 tour as well. Direction was never discussed; we just did what we do."
Watch the video here.
Royal Blood Release Ten Tonne Skeleton Video
(Classic Rock) Royal Blood have released a music video for their latest single. The song Ten Tonne Skeleton comes from their self-titled debut, which launched earlier this year via Warner Bros. It will be released on December 1 and comes backed with B-side You Want Me.
Bassist/singer Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher use no guitars on the album, with Kerr feeding his bass through multiple amps to achieve their sound - something he previously insisted wasn't a new technique.
He said: "The bass and drum thing isn't new and neither is using more than one amp. Even with people I look up to like Jack White or Josh Homme, their sounds and a big portion of what they do is borrowed. They put their own stamp on it and that's what makes a good idea. That's something I still aspire to be able to do."

Jimmy Barnes Previews New Album
(TeamRock Radio) Jimmy Barnes has launched a set of preview clips for all 15 tracks on upcoming 30th anniversary album Hindsight. The former Cold Chisel singer revisits some of the most important songs of his career, with assistance from guests including Journey's Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, Joe Bonamassa and others.
Barnes recently said: "These songs are important to me. I wouldn't change the essence of them - but I didn't bring in all these great artists to tell them what to do. It was like, 'What are we going to do with this and have fun?' They sound like new songs; they're fresh to sing."
Hindsight is released on October 27 via Provogue Records in standard CD and digital formats, plus a 180g vinyl edition limited to 1000 pressings. Listen to the preview here.
Robert Plant Performs On The Colbert Report
(hennemusic) Robert Plant was the featured guest on The Colbert Report last Thursday. The Led Zeppelin singer joined host Stephen Colbert to discuss his new album, "lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar."
"My quest is a long one and it has no end. It's a wonderful thing to do and it's surrounded by great people. And I brought you a little present from our stock room," says Plant as he dips into his front shirt pocket and pulls out what looks like a joint. "I think it's one of the accessories of not quite being a knight in the British Empire, but on the way."
"What is that?" asked the Comedy Central host. "I'm not… let's find out what this is later, shall we? And for the purposes of my lawyer and the network, this is a cigarette."
Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters then played the album's lead single, "Rainbow", on the program and recorded a web-exclusive performance of "Little Maggie."
The singer wrapped up an 8-date theatre tour of North America in New York on Thursday. Watch video of Plant's appearance on Colbert here.

(TeamRock Radio) Lonely The Brave have released a music video for their track The Blue, The Green. It comes from their debut album The Days War, which launched last month via Hassle Records.
Guitarist Mark Trotter says of the track: "Our favourite songs are the ones that you take as your own. Songs that remind you of a place, a time, or a moment."
The band recently asked fans to contribute to an alternative take on the new single. They posted tab and sheet music on their official website and wanted people to record individual sections. These will now be mixed to create a new version of the track which will launch on November 10.
The band are currently on tour with Marmozets across the UK. They'll then hit the road with Deaf Havana for seven dates in December.
