New Aerosmith Studio Video

.
(hennemusic) The work continues for Aerosmith as they build their new album. A new video of a studio jam has surfaced, with Brad Whitford laying down some riffs and Steven Tyler joining in, while Joey Kramer keeps the backbeat locked in place.

The rock legends entered guitarist Joe Perry's The Boneyard studio in suburban Boston and their main studio, Pandora's Box, early this summer with long-time producer Jack Douglas to begin recording their 14th studio album and first set of original material since 2001's "Just Push Play" and first studio album since 2004's blues covers CD, "Honkin' On Bobo."

"The new album should be out around May 2012," reports Jack. "I know that's a long wait, but after the South American tour and Japan in October, November and December, we will just get back to work on it in mid-January. For those who are asking, this album will be raw, nasty, tough rock with a good deal of the old Aerosmith 'tongue in cheek.'" Check it out the video here

Van Halen delay due to EVH/DLR spat

As frustration behind the eventual appearance of Van Halen’s latest album continues, rumours circulate about a possible Download headline appearance

Reported by Cameron Pirie

Published: September 7, 2011. © Rock AAA.

Will we ever get to hear the new album?

The Van Halen camp remains disturbingly quiet about the release of their long awaited album but the rumour is that the latest delay is due to Eddie Van Halen insisting that some of Dave Lee Roth’s vocal tracks be re-recorded.

Melodicrock.com claims some insider information, but stops short of confirming that the tracks are being re-worked. An un-named source is quoted as saying:

“As for the album being shelved goes, it’s not true. However, I will say that the delay lies within the vocals. That seems to be the main roadblock. Eddie is just not satisfied with the vocals that have been recorded and re-recorded which has caused a lot of frustration with both the Van Halen and Roth Camps alike.”

The author of the piece on the site continues:

“I hear management is shopping for a deal (no word if anyone outside VH actually has a copy or has heard anything – I think not at this stage), but labels are being approached in search of a deal….and a BIG deal from what I was told!

“I’m told there is still hope to get the album released this side of Christmas, but that is certainly not for certain.

“Prior talk of an exclusive WalMart deal for the album is diminishing – I’m told the preference is one label for a worldwide deal.”

According to the sites un-named insider in the camp, the band has also received an offer to headline Download 2012 but have delayed accepting until further European dates are investigated, and suggestions are that the US remains a priority in terms of touring.

Progress in the making of the album has been fraught with problems as has the band’s attempt to get out on the road when scheduled shows in Australia were pulled when the Soundwave Revolution touring festival was pulled at the last minute in August

“Jackass” creator Johnny Knoxville has always had the reputation of being an overgrown crazy kid but he’s morphed into quite a family man. Above, he’s pictured with his daughter Madison, 15, (from his first marriage) his baby Rocko, and his pregnant wife Naomi. We’re guessing his Jackass movies made him a lot of money.

Eddie Murphy To Host 2012 Academy Awards?

(RTTNews) - Eddie Murphy has been pegged to host the 2012 Academy Awards; and, while no announcement has been made, sources close to the event say he is currently the top choice.

A decision is anticipated for later this week as show producers Don Mischer and Brett Ratner are set to meet with Academy of Motion Pictures President Tom Sherak. The awards ceremony takes place in February.

Other reports have indicated that the show's producers are eager to switch the ceremony's format back to a one comedian host. Recent shows featuring co-hosts (James Franco/Anne Hathaway and Steve Martin/Alec Baldwin) have not gone off well.

In the meantime, Murphy has two films set for release: the Ratner-directed "Tower Heist" (due in early November); and, "A Thousand Words" (due in January).

Religious fanatics fire at Foo Fighters

Westboro Baptist Church singles out Grohl and co for latest hate campaign, saying band should use fame to preach obedience
Westboro Baptist Church

Hate campaign: A young Westboro activist

An infamous religious sect have set their sights on the Foo Fighters for their next hate campaign.

The Westboro Baptist Church is well-known for its “God hates fags” billboards and protesting near the funerals of military personnel. Last year they enraged the rock community by staging a demonstration near the funeral of Ronnie James Dio.

Now the church, led by Fred Phelps and those members of his family who haven’t disowned him, are planning to stage a protest outside the Foo Fighters’ concert in Kansas on September 16.

It’s thought they were spurred into action after Dave Grohl and co released a spoof homo-erotic video called Hot Buns to promote the tour.

A church statement says: “The entertainment industry is a microcosm of the people in this doomed nation: hard-hearted, hell-bound and hedonistic.”

It states the Foos “have a platform and should be using it to encourage obedience to God; instead you teach every person who will listen all things contrary to him: fornication, adultery, idolatry, fags.”

The church then turns on the band’s fans, saying: “You have no proper thoughts of the God that created you, but we’ll be there to make sure you don’t forget when you haul your rebellious carcasses into the Sprint Center to watch God-hating fools their shtick.

“The day of your destruction is upon you, even as you vainly seek comfort in the frivolities of this life.”

Earlier this week the church released a parody of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody to mark what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday. Revealing “Bohemian Tragedy” they said: “Freddie should really have listened to God and so should you.”

God Bless Ozzy Osbourne coming to DVD

The new film, “God Bless Ozzy Osbourne,” had a short run in theatres last month but is now on its way into your homes on DVD.

Eagle Rock Entertainment has set a November 15 release date for the DVD and Blu-ray editions of the feature-length documentary about the life of the legendary heavy metal singer, co-produced by Ozzy's son, Jack Osbourne.

The movie – which debuted earlier this year at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival - is packed with never-before-seen Black Sabbath footage and recent solo tour clips. Fellow musicians such as Paul McCartney, Tommy Lee and others will also share stories, while an exclusive interview with the Osbourne family explains why bringing Ozzy's storied history to life — through the eyes of his son Jack — was the perfect motivation to capture the story of one of music’s greatest icons on film.

Ozzy recently wrapped up his “Scream” tour and is now rumored to be working behind closed doors with Black Sabbath on a possible new album and tour for 2012.

Regis Philbin I'll Be Gone In November ...

November 18, 2011 ... mark the date -- because it will be the LAST TIME Regis Philbin will host "Live with Regis and Kelly."

80-year-old Regis made the announcement this morning -- but there's still a HUGE mystery ... no one knows who his replacement will be.

There are a handful of fill-in hosts who are rumored to have a shot at the gig -- including "Dancing with the Stars" alum Psycho Mike, "Survivor" host Jeff Probst and Howie Mandel.

Anthony Michael Hall BUSTED in Neighborhood Dispute

Anthony Michael Hall was arrested by one of his neighbors -- after allegedly going on a loud and violent tear around his Westside L.A. condo complex.

TMZ has learned Hall's neighbor made a citizen's arrest after the actor allegedly tore up plants, yelled at people in the complex, and pounded on doors.

One of the neighbors called LAPD -- and when officers showed up ... demanded they arrest Hall -- best known for roles in 80s teen flicks like "Weird Science."

Hall was booked on suspicion of disturbing the peace, and released shortly after midnight.

Kurt Angle The PROOF I Wasn't Too Drunk to Drive

Wrestling superstar Kurt Angle says his blood alcohol level was WAY under the legal limit when he was arrested for drunk driving this weekend ... and now TMZ has a police document that seems to back up his story.

We've obtained the Certificate of Blood Alcohol Analysis ... issued by the State of Virginia ... which shows Kurt's B.A.C. was .06 at the time of his arrest. The legal limit in VA is .08.

The TNA Wrestling champ has released a statement on the matter ... saying, "I did not believe my driving behavior was reckless or otherwise improper."

He adds, "I fully cooperated with the officer who clearly recognized me while performing his standard procedures. Subsequent to the stop, I was asked to submit to a breathalyzer test and passed. I do not believe that I broke any laws and will be entering a plea of not guilty in response to any pending charges."

As TMZ previously reported, troopers pulled over Angle's car after receiving a tip from another motorist ... who claimed the wrestler was driving erratically.

Angle explains, "I was returning from an iMPACT Wrestling show in an unfamiliar place, late at night and was trying to find the exit for my hotel."

Anthony Michael Hall Neighbors FRIGHTENED 'He Wants to Fight Everyone'

Anthony Michael Hall has been scaring the crap out of his neighbors for months ... screaming obscenities and challenging people to fights in the street ... this according to sources close to the actor.

Several people who live near Hall in Playa del Rey, CA tell TMZ ... when Hall was arrested for allegedly terrorizing his condo complex last night, no one was shocked because he's been acting strange for a while.

We're told Hall is often seen acting aggressive outside of his unit -- cussing at people who walk by, flipping them off and even attempting to squirt people with a hose ... for no apparent reason.

Our sources say neighbors complained to the housing association ... but no action had been taken against Hall.

One person tells us, "I have considered buying a gun to stay safe from Hall ... he's the scariest person I've ever encountered in my life."

Chum -- who was hanging with "Pawn Stars" bodyguard Antoine -- racked up a total bill of $9,558 ... and then dropped a $2,000 tip ... for a grand total of $11,558.

Wonder what the Old Man would say ...

Al Davis Suggests Beef w/ Al Michaels Is Over Bogus Adultery Report

Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis believes Al Michaels secretly blames him for planting a FALSE news report about Michaels cheating on his wife a while back ... and suggests that's the REAL reason Michaels blasted him on TMZ over the weekend.

After the NFL announcer RIPPED Davis ... calling him a terrible owner who's probably gonna die soon ... Oakland Raiders P.R. Director Mike Taylor gave the following statement to TMZ:

"We have no idea what Michaels was blathering about. I do remember Michaels being associated with an ultimately bogus report about adultery and other misdeeds and he thought Al Davis had something to do with it. Al Davis had nothing to do with it."

"During the recent Raiders/Saints broadcast, Chris Collinsworth put Michaels in his place when Michaels was speaking about the Raiders. John Madden did the same thing when he was in the booth with Michaels."

"We do not know what started this."

FYI -- The "report" Taylor is referring to was a radio station prank back in 1997 ... and as Taylor pointed out, there was NO TRUTH to the notion that Michaels ever committed adultery.

Bach: "My albums just blow their (Skid Row) albums away!"

"To me, my albums sound more like original SKID ROW
than the new SKID ROW sounds like SKID ROW."





Radio Metal recently conducted an interview with former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach. An excerpt from the chat follows below.

Radio Metal: One of the strongest videos in hard rock history is the one you did with SKID ROW for "18 And Life". On the other hand, the video for your latest single is much lighter and is clearly on the fun and rock 'n' roll side. Does this mean you don't want to get too serious nowadays?

Sebastian Bach: To be honest with you, the money we spent for the three videos we shot for "Kicking & Screaming" was less than the money for the catering truck on the "18 And Life" video. Those are 300,000-dollar videos. Since there's no TV stations, at least in America, that will play the videos, we're very lucky to even be doing videos. But the technology is so advanced, the filming is all high-def, and it looks really clear and cool. The "Kicking & Screaming" video is basically just video performance with us, and because I wrote the lyrics for my girlfriend, she's in the video when the lyrics are talking about her. She makes the video look a lot prettier than just us three greasy rockers! (Laughs) It's just fun. I read online a comment like, "Why is he smiling?" Number one, nobody told me I couldn't smile, and number two, I'm so happy with the music and the way my girl looks, I'm smiling because I'm really happy! I'm like: "I love this song, I love the lyrics and I'm having fun". To me, that song is so heavy and cool that it makes me smile. This is fucking really cool, I really like it! I didn't know you weren't allowed to smile, I didn't know there was a rule against that!

Radio Metal: Why would somebody ask why you're smiling? That's strange…

Sebastian Bach: I don't know. Even my manager said that at first. Again, the song is very heavy, so I guess I should be making a mean face! (Laughs) I don't think about what face I should make, I'm not that contrived. I don't plan things out like that, I just try to have emotion. It always comes down to emotion, that's what music is to me. It's about feeling things. And above all, rock 'n' roll should be a lot of fun, and it is, if you let it be.

Radio Metal: Everybody has an idea about what is metal and what is not, so I guess smiling is not metal!

Sebastian Bach: Smiling is not metal, but on the VAN HALEN-David Lee Roth "Jump" video, which was just a performance piece, they're smiling and having fun. I'm a VAN HALEN fan, and I think those videos are some of the best videos ever. Rock 'n' roll is totally fun, it should be about escaping normal, conventional life. Yeah, Rock 'n' roll is fun. Ozzy Osbourne has fun!

Radio Metal: I saw him on stage this summer, and, yeah, he was smiling!

Sebastian Bach: Yes, rock 'n' roll is fun, man! It makes me smile!

Radio Metal: It's now been over ten years that you've been releasing music as a solo artist. Aren't you missing playing in a real, stable band context, being equal with your band mates and not a singer with a backing band?

Sebastian Bach: I guess you're referring to my old band, SKID ROW. I think if you listen to the music they make without me, and then to "Angel Down" and "Kicking & Screaming", you would realize why we're not together. I don't want to brag, but my albums just blow their fucking albums away, and anybody with two ears would tell you that. To me, my albums sound more like original SKID ROW than the new SKID ROW sounds like SKID ROW.

Radio Metal: That was actually one of my questions: your solo albums are much more aggressive and heavy than what SKID ROW does today. Does this mean that the heaviness and aggressiveness of the older SKID ROW albums, especially "Slave To The Grind", came from you?

Sebastian Bach: Yes, it did. I'm not gonna lie to you: I am a guy that makes sure his CDs sound like that. People can say I'm hard to work with. I'm not hard to work with. I just refuse to suck! I will not put out a fucking CD that sucks. I have a good ear. We don't like each other, but even Snake from SKID ROW said in an interview: "Sebastian's biggest contribution to SKID ROW was that he could take a good song." And I can. If I feel a song in my heart, like "18 And Life", then I can really sing it emotionally, and that's what people relate to, it's emotion. Snake's a manager now, he manages other bands, he's into the business side of things. I'm not into that. I'm more into the creative side of music. That's why I got in it. I didn't get in it as a job, I got in it 'cause I've always been a singer, and my voice just has a life of its own. I was the metalhead in SKID ROW. I was the guy that would be in the studio when those guys would be playing golf or doing business. I was the guy that was in there all the time, making sure that those albums sounded like they sound. And I will keep doing that for the rest of my life. I love making CDs, it's very fun to me. I like writing songs, doing album covers and making videos. It's very fun, I get very excited about it. Ask my girlfriend, I even get too excited! (Laughs)

Green Day Armstrong kicked off flight

Billie Joe’s anger as he’s forced to leave plane before takeoff after refusing attendant’s request to pull up his trousers
Billie Joe Armstrong

Anger: Armstrong

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was forced to leave a flight before takeoff – after refusing an attendant’s request to pull up his trousers.

The musician posted an angry tweet after being kicked off a Southwest Airlines plane bound for Burbank from Oakland, California. But the company say Armstrong has resolved his issues with them.

Eyewitnesses told Fox News how the singer and a companion were boarding the plane when an attendant asked him to wear his sagging trousers higher. He asked the attendant if there weren’t “better things to do than worry about that?”

He was told he could be ordered off the flight if he continued to refuse. When he insisted he just wanted to get to his seat, he and his companion were escorted back to the departure lounge.

Armstrong tweeted: “Just got kicks off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the fuck? No joke!”

But Southwest spokesman Brad Hawkins said he was allowed to board the next flight, and added: “We followed up with this customer and involved employees to get more details and, in our latest conversations, understand from the customer the situation was resolved to his satisfaction.”
