Guns N' Roses Star Seriously Hurt In Motorcycle Crash(Classic Rock)
The Dead Daisies will be without Richard Fortus on their upcoming Australian tour after the guitarist was seriously hurt in a motorcycle crash. Fortus, who is also a member of Guns N' Roses, suffered multiple broken bones and a lacerated liver, but says he will make a full recovery.
He expects that he'll be back onboard for the band's scheduled appearance on the Kiss Kruise, which sets sail from Miami on October 30. His place for the Australia and New Zealand dates will be filled by Dave Leslie from Aussie band The Baby Animals.
Fortus says: "On September 17, I was involved in a motorcycle accident. As a result, I broke my shoulder blade, collar bone, six ribs, a toe, I have a bruised lung, lacerated liver and a concussion.
"Amazingly, my doctors have assured me that I will make a full recovery. I have never missed a show in my entire career and unfortunately, I will have to miss the entire Australian and New Zealand leg of this tour. I am devastated that I will not be able to play for the Australian and New Zealand fans, who have been so supportive and loyal." Read more here.

Former Megadeth Stars Poland, Menza and Lomenzo Form New Band(Classic Rock)
Former Megadeth members Chris Poland, Nick Menza and James Lomenzo have reunited to launch a fresh project. The unnamed band have been in the studio this year working on material for their debut release, with a sonic direction that has been described by some as "Led Zeppelin meets Metallica."
Menza says: "It's got some elements of that, but I'd say we're just so far beyond everything that's been heard already. It's gonna be a conglomerate of styles. It's gonna be what we like to do best - have fun, play. Our material is gonna be really out there. It's gonna be different. It's gonna be heavy, but it's gonna be us."
Guitarist Poland was a member of Megadeth from 1984 to 1987 and appeared on the group's first two albums, 1985's Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good and 1986's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
Drummer Menza was on board for four albums between 1989 and 1998, while bassist LoMenzo stepped in from 2006 to 2010 before founding member David Ellefson returned to the fold. Read more here.
Slipknot's Corey Taylor In Upcoming Doctor Who Episode?
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has reportedly lent his signature voice to a character in an upcoming episode of the hit UK series Doctor Who, according to the Mirror.
The UK tabloid cites an unnamed "insider" as the source of the news which reports that Taylor provided a "deafening roar to alien warlord the Fisher King as he battles Time Lord Peter Capaldi" in an upcoming episode.
Producers of the show reportedly reached out to Taylor when Slipknot played in Cardiff in January. Taylor, who is said to be a big fan of the show, was given a VIP tour by producers and asked to record his signature scream for the show.
"He agreed instantly and was made up about it," the alleged "insider" told the outlet. Read more here.
Chickenfoot Working On New Album Says Sammy Hagar
Sammy Hagar reveals in a new interview that Chickenfoot, (his band with Joe Satriani, Red Hot Chili Pepper's Chad Smith, and his former Van Halen bandmate Michael Anthony), are working on a new album.
He tells Ultimate Classic Rock, "What we decided to do with Chickenfoot is casually write a record the way we're doing now. Like, Joe (Satriani) and I get together and get the song and then Chad (Smith) put drums on one song already and Mikey (Anthony) put bass on it and we did the vocals.
"We've got one f***ing finished song ('Before I Die') that to me, is the coolest song that we've maybe ever had. It's really bluesy and edgy and modern and it's f***ing cool."
He also explained the differences he sees between Chickenfoot and his other current project the Circle and why he thinks that Chickenfoot will continue, despite speculation that it was over. "I love Chickenfoot. It's just that for me, being able to play my whole career with the Circle is so important to me. I've gotta tell ya, the chemistry in the Circle is right up there with the chemistry in Chickenfoot, when Chad's in the band, Chad, Mike and I. It's the same kind of thing - it's just a little bit different.
"Chickenfoot, I think may be the most creative band I've ever been in. I think it's even more creative than Van Halen was in a sense. Joe is so prolific that Joe can write 20 pieces of music, beginning to end, bridge, chorus, solo section, intro, outro and just bring it and say, 'How do you like this?' And we go, 'Wow, that's great,' or 'Eh, it don't feel right to us - it sounds like Joe solo.' You know, whatever!
"Having a guy like that in the band that is so freakin' prolific - I've never seen a musician in my life like that - because he reads and he writes and he studies…he's a professor, so he's theorizing with music.
"I say, how about some mid-tempo thing like 'Every Breath You Take' by the Police. Joe walks in the next day and he's got it. How about something like 'Black Dog,' which was 'Soap On A Rope,' with the breaks where the vocal is and the next day Joe walks in with that. I mean, not just an idea….that whole f-in' piece and all I had to do is write lyrics and come up with a melody and that f-in' song was done. That's the way Joe is. Being in a band with that kind of creativity and the engine of Chad and Mike on the rhythm section is second to nothing.
"You know, Mike and Jason (Bonham) are bad-ass too, don't get me wrong, but I have to do another record with that band, because it's so creative." Check out the full interview here.
Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell Expects Lifelong Cancer Fight(Classic Rock)
Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell has accepted that he'll probably have to deal with cancer for the rest of his life. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013 then announced last year that he was in remission - before revealing in June that it had returned. Treatment continues as Def Lep work through a North American tour.
Campbell tells the Salt Lake Tribune: "It's going very, very well, thank you. The bad news is this cancer keeps coming back. The good news is the treatment I'm doing largely continues to work, which is a big, big part of the recovery for me, to be able to continue to do what it is that defines who I am.
"I've had a couple rounds of chemo - actually, three rounds of chemo. And last October I did a stem cell transplant. I kind of naively thought that would be it, and I was done with it. I guess, given the benefit now of my experiences with this, I kinda realize that I'll probably be dealing with it for the rest of my life."
But his medical team continues to approach the issue from every possible angle. "I'm trying a process called immunotherapy, which is the latest and greatest thinking in how to treat cancer," says Campbell. Read more here.

Iron Maiden Frontman Impressed By Lady Gaga(Classic Rock)
Lady Gaga's metal credentials have been given perhaps their biggest endorsement yet - with Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson describing her as "great" and way better than Madonna.
The pop star has won the approval of Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian and Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford in the past, and she recently revealed how she woke up at 5am to buy Maiden's new album The Book Of Souls.
And in an earlier interview, Gaga said she doesn't want to be the next Madonna, as she'd rather be the next Iron Maiden. Now the Maiden vocalist has returned the compliment. He tells Corus Radio: "I think she's great, and I agree with her - she's not the next Madonna. She's way better than that.
"Because, first of all, she can sing - she's got a belter of a voice - and she's a really good instrumentalist. She's got a great sense of drama. And anybody that could turn up to an awards ceremony dressed as a bacon sandwich gets my vote. I mean, she's great." Watch the full interview here.

Sevendust Streaming Their Entire New Album 'Kill The Flaw'(TeamRock Radio)
Sevendust have made their 11th album entitled Kill The Flaw available to stream in full ahead of its October 2 launch. The follow-up to 2014's acoustic Time Travelers & Bonfires was self-produced by the band and recorded at Architekt Music in Butler, New Jersey with engineer/mixer Mike Ferretti.
The Atlanta outfit returned to their roots by building songs for the album from extended jam sessions. Vocalist Lajon Witherspoon tells The Aquarian Weekly: "We went in with this live effect. There wasn't anything really written for this album, so we set up on the live stage and everything was mic'd, from guitars to drums, so we were able to record while we were rehearsing pieces of songs.
"Then we would go in from 12 noon until 12 midnight and during the day, we would just get up there as the band Sevendust like when we started, which we loved to do, and just jam."
He continues: "Things came out and that's the way this album came together. It was just like the beginning of our career when we sat down and jammed together like a band and it's what I think made this album flow so easily and come out with so many cool songs." Stream the album here.

David Gilmour Tops The UK Chart With 'Rattle That Lock'

"Vinny Appice (drums) and Tony Franklin (bass) lay it down while Derek Sherinian (keys) provides the right sounds and parts with tasteful perfection. Russell Allen delivers one of my favorite vocal performances EVER and Jeff Scott Soto sings some amazing backgrounds to support them. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing/recording it!"

Slayer's Kerry Kings Finds Today's Bands Uninspiring(Classic Rock)
Slayer guitarist Kerry King says some successful young bands are missing the opportunity to inspire future musicians the way he was first moved by the giants of metal back in the day.
Growing up on a steady diet of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, among others, helped motivate King to form Slayer with Jeff Hanneman as a teenager.
Now, King reveals he's having trouble seeing the next generation develop into hard rock and metal role models of their own. King tells Metal XS: "We were at a festival in South America somewhere, and they feed you a live feed of the stage, so you can watch it like you're out front. And I was watching a band, and I went over to Gary Holt and I said,' Gary, if I was a kid and these were my heroes, I would never pick up an instrument.'
"They didn't compel me to wanna be them, and I think that's what's missing in younger music… There's not a vibe. You look at some bands these days, and I've got nothing against roadies, 'cause I love my crew, but these bands look like roadies. It looks like they're just up there rehearsing, and that doesn't inspire me to wanna play guitar and be just like 'em." Read more here.
Von Hertzen Brothers Release 'Sunday Child' Video(Classic Rock)
Von Hertzen Brothers have released a video for Sunday Child, taken from their New Day Rising album, the follow-up to 2013's Nine Lives. The video was filmed at Söderskär Lighthouse, 30km east of the Finnish capital.
"At the end of summer, we performed an exclusive show on a tiny island outside Helsinki," says drummer Mikko Kaakkuriniemi. "This remote, rugged and expansive location, with its 150 year old lighthouse, was a perfect match for the atmosphere and story of our new single, Sunday Child. With this in mind, the goal was to capture this magical late August day from beginning to end. The music video that followed is like a diary or a photo album of this special event and our gig right by the open sea."
Von Hertzen Brothers recently played at the Prog Awards in London, and are currently on tour. The band's New Day Rising is nominated for the Best Album award at this year's Classic Rock Roll Of Honour. Watch the video here.

Motorhead Already Planning Next Album Says Lemmy(Classic Rock)
Motorhead mainman Lemmy says the band will record and release their next album within two years.

The bassist also addressed the glut of music in today's marketplace. He adds: "In my view, there are more people recording more songs than any other time in history. It is their own responsibility whether to survive if they manage to keep the spirit of rock'n'roll alive." Read more here.

Saxon Tried To Avoid Remaking 'Wheels Of Steel' On New Album(Classic Rock)
Saxon frontman Biff Byford says the band avoided trying to recreate their Wheels Of Steel sound on their upcoming new album. The British metal heroes release Battering Ram October 16 and Byford previously said the album harks back to their 80s sound. But he insists they didn't set out to lean too heavily on their 1980 hit Wheels Of Steel when they recorded the latest work with producer Andy Sneap.
Byford tells Metal Rules (via Blabbermouth): "We love the album. It's a clash between the retro Saxon and the modern Saxon. It's a massive sound. Andy Sneap's done a great job for us. Andy loves the 80s bands as well, so he's a great producer to get the best of both things going.
"We're not trying to recreate the Wheels Of Steel album. We're trying to move on a bit, but still have the essence of Saxon there. He engineered Sacrifice and mixed it. And I wanted to spend a bit more time on my vocals other than producing, so I knew everything would be safe with Andy." Watch the full interview here.

Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit Declared Most Iconic Song Ever(Classic Rock)
Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit has been declared the most iconic song ever written in research commissioned by Fiat. The car manufacturers were trying to work out which song to use in promotional material for the Fiat 500 and asked boffins at the University of London to help.
Dr Mick Grierson's team analyzed the tracks most often singled out by critics, with the Nirvana smash hit coming out on top ahead of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Guns N' Roses classic Sweet Child O' Mine and God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols.
Dr Grierson tells the Daily Mail: "We looked at a range of measures for each song and compared them to see if there were similarities in these recordings which occur less in other songs.
"We found the most significant thing these songs have in common is that most of them use sound in a very varied, dynamic way when compared to other records.
"This makes the sound of the record exciting, holding the listeners' attention. By the same token, the sounds these songs use and the way they are combined is highly unique in each case." See the top 10 list here.
Big Big Train Release Live 'Victorian Brickwork' Video(Prog)
Big Big Train have released a video of them performing Victorian Brickwork live in London. The performance was captured during the band's show at King's Place last month, one of three shows at the venue - the band's first gigs in 17 years.
Keyboard player Danny Manners says: "We were overwhelmed with the audience response to what were the band's first gigs in 17 years, and how far some of them were willing to travel from all over the world. We hope the video will give the wider public a taste of what Big Big Train is like live."
BBT will release a live-in-the-studio DVD, Stone And Steel, in the coming weeks and are currently working on a new album called Folklore, set for release next year. Watch the video here.
Singled Out: Stroamata's SocialBrooklyn alt-rock band Stroamata recently released their latest single "Social" and we asked the band's Rob Morrison and Alex Markowitz to tell us the story behind the track. Here is the story:
Rob Morrison (main songwriter on Social): As people become more easily connected, they are simultaneously ostracizing themselves by seeing fewer friends in person and taking more photos of themselves than ever before. "Social" lyrically tries to depict this dichotomy of concurrent self-obsession and self-imposed isolation. Musically, the different instruments meld together but also show-off, themselves wanting to be appreciated on their own, separately rather than as a piece of a whole. That aside, it's a rocker of a tune and grooves hard. Makes the head bob almost to headbanging levels.
Alex Markowitz: Some songs just come together in a few minutes. I know everyone has read an interview or a blog where a musician goes on about how long writing a song takes, saying sometimes it's years before a song comes together. I also know we have heard stories where bands have come up with "mega-hit" songs just by screwing around in the studio. Social just came together in a matter of minutes. Rob came in with the song, and within a few minutes the basic form, beat and feel of the song just erupted from the band. I wish I could describe the pride I feel for my band members, and the years of work we have put into making music when a song just appears from the ether, but I cannot find the words. Songs like this are the reward for our dedication to each other and our music! Of course... we hope other people enjoy it too!
