Jack White Walks Out On Fans At Concert
(Classic Rock) Jack White left fans angry after cutting a show short in New York's Radio City Music Hall at the weekend.

He stormed off after 45 minutes, with various reports suggesting he was unhappy with a heckler in the crowd, the audience response or the venue's sound.

Audience members stayed outside the theatre shouting "F--- Jack White" for some time after security staff escorted them from the hall. [Antiquiet] More rock news.

Foo Fighters Going On Hiatus?
(Classic Rock) Dave Grohl has suggested yet again that the Foo Fighters are about to go on hiatus.

He told a crowd at New York's Central Park on Saturday: "Without making a big deal out of it, we don't have any chows after this. Honestly, I don't know when we're going to do it again."

Last month Grohl shouted down rumours caused when he told the UK's Reading Festival it would be the band's last appearance for some time, saying: "I was only talking to England!" More rock news.

Another Veteran Rocker Slams Green Day
(CBS Local) In the wake of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's recent onstage outburst in Las Vegas (resulting in the singer checking into rehab), bass player Trevor Dunn of sludge-rock legends the Melvins has lashed out at Armstrong, calling him a "little weasel" in a scathing diary entry on Spin.com.

"There's nothing worse then [SIC] some rock'n'roll brat throwing a tantrum and going AWOL just because he can't keep himself occupied," Dunn wrote.

"Yes, I'm referring to that little weasel in Green Day. That guy's main problem is that he doesn't realize that he is Justin Bieber. He should take some of the green in his wallet, buy himself a green smoothie and relax. What kind of band name is Green Day anyway? Is that in reference to all the chord progressions they continually recycle?" more on this story

Nightwish Singer Hospitalized
(Classic Rock) Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon was forced to sit out the band's show in Denver, Colorado, at the weekend.

Her place was taken by support band Kamelot's backing singers Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz. Olzon explains: "I got very ill and thought it was a kidney stone. I got worse in the evening and started vomiting heavily. The hospital said I should cancel the show and come straight to the ER. I was there all night and they did blood tests, ultrasounds on my kidneys and finally a CT scan. The tests didn't show why I was so ill, but probably the stomach pain has a connection with me having the flu, or just stress.

"They did find something else, though, and for that I'm grateful – if I didn't do the scan, I wouldn't know there's a big cyst in my liver and I need to go check it out at home." More rock news.

Neil Young Launches New Digital Music Format
(Gibson) Neil Young has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman to promote a new audio player and digital format. It's called Pono. The device player is a bright yellow prism with a screen and simple controls. It kinda looks like an old iPod… but it isn't.

According to Young, Pono will play back master files with "the best sound anyone can get". Rolling Stone says that Pono will launch in 2013 as a line of portable music players, backed by an iTunes-style music-download service. There will also be digital-to-analog conversion technology that will "present songs as they first sound during studio recording sessions".

In his new book Waging Heavy Peace, Young claims that Pono will bring together record companies and cloud storage "to save the sound of music." more on this story

Director Talks Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day
(hennemusic) The forthcoming release of Led Zeppelin's "Celebration Day" captures the band's December 2007 reunion at London's 02 Arena, which saw the three founding members joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

The film's director, Dick Carruthers, says Zeppelin is a band who writes their own rules. "As John Paul Jones says, five years is five minutes in Zeppelin time," he tells Contact Music. "There's a band who, if they wanna sit on something until the time is right, they will. They're not hurried by any of the commercial pressures that might apply to another band."

Carruthers explained how the project came together. "All that happened was several years later, there was just a phone call and they said, 'Well, can we have a look at it then? Let's get the stuff out and let's have a look at it.' So we had two viewing days and we showed them what you call a line cut... and they were pretty blown away. I hadn't really seen the footage either and we realized it was something very special indeed." more on this story

Jeff Lynne Explains ELO Do-Over
(Classic Rock) Jeff Lynne re-recorded 11 Electric Light Orchestra tracks, including anthem Mr Blue Sky, because he wasn't happy with the originals.

The result is Mr Blue Sky: The Very Best of ELO, featuring no input from any other musician. And Lynne admits the project came about because he kept getting upset when he heard the lead track on radio.

"I used to listen and go, 'Wow, that's not quite how I meant it.' I really wanted to see if I could get it better. I tried Mr Blue Sky to see what it would be like to make it into a brand-new record, and I enjoyed the results so much that I tried another one, and another one," He tells Billboard. "I decided I would do the whole lot – make an album's worth of them, just so people could hear them in a different way. Probably the way I intended them to be heard in the first place." more on this story

Wolstenholme tells the Guardian: "I kept my guard up. I was quite crafty about how I drank and where I did it. Matt and Dom didn't realise how bad it was because I wasn't a nasty drunk. I didn't cause any problems – I just retreated." more on this story

B Sides


Singled Out: Wayland
Today Mitch Arnold from Wayland tells us about the title track from their 4-song EP "Welcome To My Head". Here is the story:

This song is a balls to the wall rock n' roll song about being just a little bit off center. It's that space between psychotic and normal. F-ing crazy. Everyone has a piece of there mind that is a little out there. Personally, I can totally relate to this. Being the lead singer of a touring rock n' roll band you've got to be a little bit on the edge of nuts. I'd say I went over the edge a long time ago. It's about thinking out of the box. "Bend the spoon, break the chain..." It's about mind over matter and going a little f-ing crazy trying to figure it all out. We're all trying to make the best of this life and do what's best for ourselves. If you don't access that piece of mind that steps out of the square that's exactly where you'll stay. You've got to fall down hard. You've got to be "shot down!"

It's a song about going over the edge and f-ing loving it! Welcome to my head!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
