Early Guns N' Roses Biopic In The Works
(hennemusic) The 2008 biography, "Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses And The Making Of Appetite For Destruction", is in talks to become a movie. Co-author Marc Canter shared the news in the unofficial Guns N' Roses website, MyGNRForum.com, telling fans, "It's been on the works for about 4 months."

An amateur photographer and the owner and general manager of the legendary rock 'n' roll hangout Canter's Deli in Los Angeles, California, Canter frequently crossed paths with Guns N' Roses in its formative years.

His close ties to the band give Canter the personal history and credibility to assist with helping guide his biography onto the big screen. "If I'm involved in a Guns N' Roses project, then you know I have their backs," writes Canter. "There is a great story about the birth of the band which I was very much involved in. This has nothing to do with where the band is today. The history is very important and that's why Axl was the one who was most supportive of me documenting what they were doing when they first started out."

"The people I'm working with are the best ones to do this project," he continued. "There is so much detail in the way it all came together that tells the killer rock n' roll story of the best band around. Why hide it? I have all the resources to help make it right."

"I'm not making the movie," he clarifies. "The book Reckless Road is being made into a movie by people that will do it right. No short cuts, it will be very detailed. I do have a big say so on the script which is still being put together now but so far looking cool. I am going to see that everyone in the cast is doing their job and doing justice to the band. Since I was there, I know what the dialogue was between the band for many of the events that took place."

"When you find out who is making the movie, you will then understand that it will be very cool," adds the author. Read more here.





AC/DC's Angus Young Discusses Malcolm's Dementia
(hennemusic) AC/DC guitarist Angus Young is sharing details regarding his brother Malcolm's history with dementia, revealing that his symptoms had existed for a number of years before being made public months ago.

"It's something that had actually been happening for a long time," Angus tells Rolling Stone as promotes the band's new album "Rock Or Bust." Malcolm's symptoms - lapses in memory and concentration - "had surfaced even before the last project," AC/DC's 2008 album, "Black Ice."

But Angus says Malcolm was "still capable of knowing what he wanted to do. I had said to him, 'Do you want to go through with what we're doing?' And he said, 'Sh*t, yeah.' " Malcolm, Angus points out, "liked to finish what he started."

Angus also reveals that Malcolm was already in treatment during his last tour with AC/DC, from 2008 to 2010. "He got good help, good medical care," Angus says. Malcolm had to "relearn a lot of things."






Jon Bon Jovi Says Richie Sambora Quit Band
(Classic Rock) Jon Bon Jovi says he has no hard feelings towards Richie Sambora but hints he won't be returning to the line-up. The guitarist disappeared from the band last year fuelling rumors of a feud between him and the Bon Jovi frontman.

Sambora then broke the silence, revealing he was told he could either tour or quit when he asked for time off from group. It was a choice which left Sambora hurt but he remained hopeful he could rejoin the band in the future.

And while Bon Jovi has no bitterness towards the axeman, a reunion doesn't seem to be on the cards. He tells Showbiz 411: "He quit. He's gone. No hard feelings. Being in a band isn't a life sentence." Read more here.

Evanescence Not Over Says Amy Lee
(TeamRock Radio) Evanescence singer Amy Lee insists Evanescence have not split - they're just not working on anything at the moment. Following the birth of her son Jack earlier this year, she said she had "no plans" to work with the band in the foreseeable future.

Now she says she gets frustrated when fans post online comments insisting the group are through. She tells Sixx Sense With Nikki Sixx: "It's frustrating sometimes when you read the Internet.

"I get a little frustrated when I say, 'No, the band is not over, we're just not doing it now.' And then every response is, 'Evanescence is dead.' It's like, 'That's not what I said. Why do you have to make drama?'

"I'm totally open-minded. I don't know, I would just get bored doing the same thing forever. There's more to me than that." Read more here.

Dave Grohl On Spotify Controversy: Just Listen To The Music
(Radio.com) If you ask an elder statesman of rock a question, be prepared for their bite. At least, that's been the takeaway from this year's interviews with Gene Simmons, Billy Corgan and now Dave Grohl, to name a few.

Grohl, who's developed a reputation as one of rock's nice guys, has been on somewhat of a grumpy roll as of late, taking down one-album anniversary tours and, now, anyone who's complaining about Spotify.

When asked by Digital Spy about Taylor Swift's recent decision to remove her catalog from Spotify-which she explained thoroughly in her TIME cover story-Grohl made it known that he doesn't share her thoughts.

"Me personally?" he said. "I don't f**king care. That's just me, because I'm playing two nights at Wembley next summer. I want people to hear our music, I don't care if you pay $1 or f**king $20 for it, just listen to the f**king song. But I can understand how other people would object to that."

Grohl is much more concerned about giving his fans the best live show possible, believing that's the best way to hear music. Read more here.

(Radio.com) Paramore's Hayley Williams will be the recipient of the first-ever Billboard Trailblazer Award at this year's ninth annual Billboard Women in Music Awards, which will take place on Dec. 12 in New York City.

According to Billboard, the Trailblazer Award "honors a standout female artist who breaks from convention to make a unique mark in music and pave the way for other talent."

"I can remember a time when I would've been made fun of for doing things differently," Williams said of the award. "Now I'm getting an award for it? This is too much. I'm so excited! There are women in this industry who totally bulldozed walls down for the likes of me to come along and do what I believe in. I want to be that for even one girl in the future. I can't wait for the event next month and to high-five some of my sisters in music." Read more here.

He said: "We will be touring the From Beer To Eternity album - the set will be the album in its exact order and a few oldies for an encore. It won't just be America and Europe this time, we'll see you Down Under as well as in South America and Japan." Read more here.

Former Testament Bassist Greg Christian Having Money Troubles
(Classic Rock) Former Testament bassist Greg Christian has revealed he has less than $150 to his name and is waiting for an unemployment payment. He quit the band earlier this year as he said he was tired of never being paid. He's since launched another verbal attack on his former bandmates as a result of money issues.

Now he says he has hardly any money left and he's waiting for cash from the government. He says on Facebook: "I've been on a bit of a sabbatical and wasted the better part of this year trying to save the un-savable. C'est la vie.

"Anyone that's tried to call me, my dumb ass ran over my iPhone a couple days before Halloween. I still haven't replaced it yet and have less than $150 to my name until my next EDD (unemployment) payment comes in, so my email has become my main communication."

He also reveals he's currently working on a couple of musical projects. Read about that here.





The Who To Conclude 50th Anniversary Tour At Hyde Park

It's to be the last date on their 50th anniversary tour, which hits the UK later this month. A final album could also be in the works. Singer Daltrey says: "Hyde Park is always a good gig. It has nice grass, beautiful trees. I've got memories of doing it with a patch on my eye, holding my eye in. That was a nightmare - we had a quarter of a million people coming and I had a fractured cheekbone. How we ever did that show…" Read more and see the dates here.




Souza Needed Break From Exodus
(Classic Rock) Returning Exodus frontman Steve 'Zetro' Souza has revealed that being away from the band for 10 years was exactly what he needed. He was with the group from 1986 until 1993 and then from 2002 until 2004. He returned to the fold earlier this year and recorded their 10th album Blood In, Blood Out, which launched via Nuclear Blast in October. And he says the break did him good.

He tells AXS: "I think that 10 years, I needed. It seasoned me, and I'm back, I'm ready and it's great. This is just like a present I can't wait for everybody to open! It's just awesome, so I'm ready to go."

He also reveals he only had a few days to learn the tracks from Blood In, Blood Out and it was a frantic period of activity for him and the rest of the band.

He continues: "I only had three days to listen to it before I had to start recording. I auditioned on a Thursday, they listened to it on the Friday and we talked later that day." Read more here.





Mick Fleetwood Says Fleetwood Mac Reunion Not About Money
(Classic Rock) Mick Fleetwood says Fleetwood Mac couldn't perform together if they weren't friends. On the day that the band added two more London dates to their 2015 tour, the drummer laughs off suggestions that relationships remain strained within the group and says they could never pretend to get along for the sake of a pay check.

Fleetwood Mac recently welcomed Christine McVie back to the fold after 16 years. Fleetwood tells the Guardian: "That whole 'extreme fear and loathing' thing is a load of bollocks. It's boring when I have to explain why we still want to be doing this. Some bands admit they don't like each other, but they can sign a piece of paper and walk on stage. Nothing wrong with that, but we can't do it. We have to have some emotional credibility to what we're doing.

"Elton John and Eric Clapton work more than us, and they certainly don't need the money. Have you ever thought that we actually like doing what we do?" He also shared a colorful story about a visit to the White House, read about that here.

(TeamRock Radio) Drowning Pool aim to return to the studio early next year. The Texas rockers say they have a bunch of new material written for the follow-up to 2013's Resilience.

Guitarist CJ Pierce tells Metalholic: "We have more songs written now than our entire back catalog. We have so many songs. In the dressing room today, I was working on some music. Now it's a matter of, what kind of record do we wanna make?

"We have heavier songs, lighter songs, some traditional-sounding Drowning Pool songs, and we have what I call Drowning Pool evolved songs. We wanna get in there sooner than later - hopefully March or April at the latest - to record the next CD and then keep going." Read more here.

Slipknot are riding high on the success of their new album 5: The Gray Chapter, which topped the charts in the US and Canada and landed at no.2 in the UK. Frontman Corey Taylor says: "Being invited back to Download always feels like coming home. Headlining for the third time feels like the culmination of a life's dream - it's an honour and we're all looking forward to it."

Judas Priest, who played the first Monsters of Rock in 1980, first appeared at Download in 2008. They say: "We're thrilled to be performing at Download 2015 as the band continues its 40th anniversary Redeemer of Souls World Tour, bringing us home to hear the roar of our Priest family."

Now Wilson reports: "This time it will be in collaboration with Thomas Koner, the 'godfather' of isolationist music. His 1992 album Teimo - using the sounds of gongs recorded underwater - is one of my all-time favourite ambient records.

AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Boosted By Phil Rudd's Arrest
(Radio.com) That old adage there is no such thing as bad publicity rings especially true if you're AC/DC right now. A week after the story broke that drummer Phil Rudd had been arrested for plotting the murders of two men, and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis, the Aussie rock band has had a sales boost of their iconic 1976 single "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," according to Nielsen SoundScan (via Billboard).

Yes, there is a whole lot of irony in the fact that decades ago, Rudd was drumming on a song about hiring a hitman. However, his charge for trying to procure a murder has since been dropped, and Rudd is now left with his drug possession charges along with threatening to kill someone.

How many people exactly had a dark enough sense of humor to download "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap? Or a just sparked nostalgia for the song? Apparently, just under 2,000 people downloaded it in the week ending Nov. 9. here.

(Classic Rock) Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford says he's "ready to make" a new Judas Priest album. The band only released their most recent record Redeemer Of Souls in July.

But already the singer is keen to get back to work. And the enthusiasm of guitarist Richie Faulkner is what's fuelling the fire. Halford tells Trunk Nation: "I go into the dressing room every night and Richie's jamming - that guy never stops playing his guitar."

"...The riffs are already piling up, the ideas are already piling up. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to make a Judas Priest record. So that's where we roll at the moment." Read more here.





The Who Release Virtual Reality App
(Classic Rock) The Who have released a virtual reality app, which allows fans to explore the band's catalogue. It's available as an smartphone and tablet app now, with a version available for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset when it becomes commercially available next year.

The app was launched at the Goldhawk Club, scene of many of The Who's early gigs, in the band's old stamping ground of Sherpherd's Bush. It was attended by the likes of Roger Daltrey, Who manager Bill Curbishley, turntable legend Grandmaster Flash, and the local scooter club.

AFI Offshoot XTRMST Release First Video
(TeamRock Radio) XTRMST, the hardcore punk band started by AFI frontman Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget, have released the first video promoting their self-titled debut album.

The band have already made the tracks Exterminate and Dirty Nails available for streaming, and viewers paying attention to the Conformist video will notice links to both tracks at the tail end of the promo clip.

"The straightedge philosophy is something that we gravitated toward at a young age, drawn by concepts and ideals that seem almost foreign in modern society," Havok and Puget say. "Like much of the other subcultures we were a part of growing up, it put us at odds with 99% of the people around us, which was something we embraced. It seemed natural that this crucial ideology would find a musical expression. This record is one of the most important we've made. The songs are of purity, passion and truth. May they speak to you."

The Safety Fire Unplug For New Wide Hands Video
(Prog) The Safety Fire have released a video for their acoustic reworking of Wise Hands. The original version of Wide Hands appeared on 2013 album Mouth Of Swords. The acoustic version was inspired by the MTV Unplugged series,

The band say: "Growing up with bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam during the era of MTV Unplugged, we have always had a fondness for acoustic interpretations and versions of songs.

Bassett says: "After writing and producing numerous KingBathmat albums and more recently the acoustic solo album Unearth, I decided I wanted to create my first instrumental album, and I wanted it to be set, audibly and visually in a dark, bleak apocalyptic aura of despair and anger.

"I wanted to focus on enormous riffs and sorrowful yet powerful musical refrains and place them within a terrain of unusual time signatures interspersed by moments of psychedelic calm."

Singled Out: Burnt Belief (Jon Durant and Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin)
Today Jon Durant from Burnt Belief (the duo that also features Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin) tells us about "Précis" from their brand new album "Etymology", which was released late last month. Here is the story:

Précis begins with a brooding electronic pulse (one that wouldn't be out of place in Tangerine Dream piece) over which Colin's bass and Jon's clouds etch a fairly ominous vibe. However, once the rhythms kick in, the clouds begin to disperse, and the mood begins to lift a bit. A distant trumpet (guitar synth) over a chord sequence heralds faint hope before Colin starts in with a Percy Jones-esque harmonic slide on his fretless bass and the piece begins its urgency.

Lead guitar doubled with Trumpet blast out a strong melodic statement building to a major climax when the chord progression returns and signals a new bass theme over which the guitar and trumpet triumphantly restate the original theme. Eventually the storm dissipates with clouds echoing away over electronic pulses as it had begun.
