Zakk's Wylde Kung Fu

Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society have released a brand new video for the track "Overlord," which comes from their latest album Order Of The Black.

The video, directed by Master Cylinder, finds guitar legend Zakk Wylde and his Black Label Society in a satire of 70's Kung Fu movies.

Wylde is featured as the Bruce Lee-type action hero (yellow jumpsuit and all) in hot pursuit of the Overlord...in this case an old lady who holds the key to a very special prize. - check out the director's cut here

Garbage Reunite

(Gibson) Singer Shirley Manson has confirmed that the band Garbage have reunited to work on recordings for their fifth album and their first since 2005's Bleed Like Me. Manson has been working in the studio with fellow bandmates – guitarist Steve Marker, guitarist-bassist-keyboardist Duke Erikson, and drummer Butch Vig, who also serves as the group's producer.

Garbage announced they were going on hiatus after the release of Bleed Like Me, and Manson began work with Vig as a co-producer and co-writer for a debut solo album, though no material from those sessions has been released.

The group is currently trying to focus the new material they've recorded, and to narrow things down to an album's worth of songs. - more on this story

Metallica To Play Surprise U.S. Show This Week

Fans hoping for Metallica to make a "live" return stateside this year are in luck. The band have announced a surprise gig this week in Los Angeles. Here is what the band had to say: Our friends over at Activision, the fine folks who bring you the "Guitar Hero" games, noticed a small hole in the Metalli-tour schedule in between Australian dates and rang us up to invite us to the launch of their next "Call of Duty" game, "Black Ops."

One thing led to another and next thing we know, we're playing at the party!!! Kinda like that top secret (yeah, right!) show we did in Austin at the South By Southwest Music Festival when our "Guitar Hero" game was released in March of 2009.

The end result is that on this Thursday, November 4, we'll be in Santa Monica, CA rockin' at the Santa Monica airport, Hangar 8. In addition to celebrating the release of "Call of Duty: Black Ops," the event will raise funds for The Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit organization that helps soldiers transition to civilian life and assists them in establishing jobs and careers. Tickets will not go on sale, but we have a limited number of passes for Fan Club members to attend. If you're a Met Club member and will be in the L.A. area in a few days, head over to www.metclub.com to find out how you can win a pair of tickets. - more on this story

Jason Bonham Reflects On His Led Zeppelin Experience

(hennemusic) Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience is out on the road these days, touring as a 30th anniversary tribute to Jason's dad, the late John Bonham.

Jason is thrilled with the tour's progress, as it kicked off across Canada before hitting the States. "Calgary was just – every one of them has been phenomenal for whatever reason, and always the same reason is the audience and the amount of response they give back," Bonham tells John J. Moser of the Lehigh Valley Music blog. "Cause it's not just myself, you know, this is representing my family. I'm playing my father's music and I'm a fan of Led Zeppelin. The response has been beyond what I ever imagined it would be. Unreal. Everyone seems to understand the story I'm telling. We break up the show with a video and the footage of my day as a kid and the home movie parts."

The show is a personal journey for Bonham, another way of providing some closure with the past. "Yeah. The strangest thing is the way it hit me," says Jason. "The thing you've got to remember is, when dad was alive, initially one the reasons I kind of have a thing with it is, I never really got it when he was alive. He was my dad and he played in a band and I was more into The Police. You know, I went through the whole blond hair bit. And dad took me to see The Police when I was 13. And I was like, this is a cool band, dad. See this is a cool band. [Laughs] And I felt bad for years because then a year later … I never had a chance to tell him how great I think was. After he passed away, I would go and listen to his music. And when I had a few incidents where I really had to go and really do my homework, I found new favorites – things in the songs that I never knew. There's certain parts where I thought, 'I thought I knew that.' And I didn't. I had blinders on. So it's been a great journey for me finding new favorites from albums. Certain albums I hadn't played for a long, long time. And now some of those things are … 'Presence,' which is an under-rated album , is probably one of my favorite albums." - A lot more from Jason here

Lil Wayne 90s Rock (Nirvana. Pearl Jam, Radiohead etc) Mashup Released

Despite label protest, DJ Alexei has gone ahead with the release of his latest project, Alexei Presents ... Weezy's 90s Ball, Vol. 1, a remix and mashup album that pairs Lil Wayne with 90s rock classics from Nirvana, Radiohead, and other influential acts.

The release, timed to mark Lil Wayne's release from jail, comes after several days of uncertainly that followed when Universal Motown issued a cease and desist letter to block the release. The album is available for free download at 90sBall.com.

On the album, Alexei both reinterprets old Lil Wayne hits and combines the artist's numerous -- and, in some cases, obscure -- feature verses to create new songs. Musically, the album is divided into tracks that retain the rock sensibility of the source material ("A Milli In Bloom," "Zombie Musik") and hip-hop-influenced tracks on which Alexei combines samples of 90s rock with hip-hop drums ("Bring Back That Raspy Sh*t," "Gimme That, Rude Boy"). - more on this story

Jimi Hendrix's Biggest Fan: Pee-Wee Herman

(Gibson) Pee-wee Herman is back in a big way – his stage production of The Pee-wee Herman Show is about to open on Broadway. In support of the opening, actor Paul Reubens recently participated in The Guest DJ Project radio show on KCRW in Los Angeles.

When asked to pick the five songs that have inspired him throughout his life, Reubens went with Jimi Hendrix's "Stone Free" as his #1 and had this to say about Hendrix: "I think most people who heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time had a religious experience – as did I. I had never heard anything like this. This song, besides the beat of it, and just the drive of it, this was the piece of music that made me feel like anything was possible.

"This piece of music defines genre, invention…and you can draw just a straight line from Jimi Hendrix to almost everybody else who matters in music now, in my opinion. I mean, there is certainly no Prince without Jimi, there's certainly no…150 billion people without him." - more on this story

Alice Cooper Rocks TV Dance Show

(hennemusic) Since dancing shows are all the rage on tv these days (for some reason), I guess every country has at least one. England is no different – they have "Strictly Come Dancing" – which follows the same format as the U.S. show, "Dancing With The Stars."

On what was billed as a special Halloween edition of the program's 'results' show, Alice Cooper was there to play his classic, "Poison," while dancers paraded around in front of the band.

It sounds crazy, but there's video to prove it – and as weird as the whole thing is, there is an upside: it means neither you nor I had to sit through the whole show to see it. - Check it out here

Kings of Leon and Plan B Get Paul McCartney Endorsement

(Gibson) Although he's 68, Paul McCartney isn't stodgy when it comes to new music. That's what he said in an interview with Britain's The Sun.

"I think there's a lot of great music around, I really do," he said. "You get someone going, 'Oh, it's not like it was in my day!' I say, 'No, it's different. It isn't like it was in your day. And actually some of it is better.'"

So who has McCartney been digging lately? "I like Kings of Leon, I think they're really cool," he said. "I like Plan B, he's good. He has really got it, you know, a good singer, man." - more on this story

The Eagles' Joe Walsh Wants To School Politicians About Addiction

(Gibson) The Eagles' Joe Walsh has always been a refreshingly candid rock star, and one of the things he's been quite candid about is his battles with rock star indulgences. After struggling with alcoholism and drug abuse through a good part of career, Walsh says he's now been clean and sober for 17 years and has a perspective on the issue of addiction that might be helpful not just to other individuals in the same struggle, but to some government officials making drug policies.

In a recent interview with the Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, Walsh said, "I'd love to speak to leaders and politicians in Melbourne and around Australia about addiction. Addiction is a disease and, with help, people can get back to being responsible members of the community. I hope to give your leaders that message."

Walsh may soon get that chance since the Eagles have just completed the North American leg of a world tour and will head to Australia in December. -

On This Day The First Beatle Hit the Road Solo

(Gibson) It's amazing to think that in the fall of 1974, more than four years after the band had broken up, none of The Beatles had toured North America. Each one had scored huge post-Beatles albums and singles, not John, Paul, George or Ringo had embarked on a tour of the U.S. since the band's final trek in 1966. That is, until "The Quiet Beatle" became the first one to hit the road.

In 1974, George Harrison announced that he was going on a 30-date North American tour to play songs off his #1 solo albums (1970's All Things Must Pass and 1973's Living in the Material World) as well as a few Beatles classics. Harrison assembled a 10-piece band, including pop star – and Beatles collaborator – Billy Preston, horn player Tom Scott and guitarist Robben Ford. The former Beatle also brought along friend, mentor and Indian music legend Ravi Shankar, who would perform two sets with his group during each concert.

Although Harrison had staged The Concert for Bangladesh a few years before, he had never organized a full tour for himself. As such, he seemed a bit uncertain about how he'd feel about doing so, saying, "I either finish this tour ecstatically happy and want to go on tour everywhere, or I'll end up just going back to my cave for another five years." - more on this story

Joe Cocker A Rare Mad Dog

In 1970, the craziest, loudest and longest rock 'n' roll circus, starring Cocker plus Leon Russell, the tour's musical director, hit America.

Capturing Cocker and Russell in their prime, this Rarities Edition collects performances recorded but not included on the original two-disc album. Also heard is backup vocalist Claudia Lennear, who handles the Beatles' "Let It Be" while Cocker once more reprises the Fab Four's "Something" and "With A Little Help From My Friends." -
