Axl Rose + ACDC = True!

Axl Rose is confirmed as stand in singer for the remaning part of ACDC's "Rock Or Bust World Tour". This is after ACDC's lead singer Brian Jonson is at risk of suffering a permanent hearing loss. It's been buzzing about Axl being a stand in vocalist for ACDC even before the Guns N' Roses reunion where official earlier this year. Axl was also fan spotted at ACDC's rehearsal in Atlanta. The whole thing got confirmed a few hours before Guns N' Roses's headlining gig at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, with a statement from ACDC at their website. Followed by a guest appearance from ACDC's guitarist Angus Young at the same gig, performing two ACDC classics, "Riff Raff" and "Whole Lot of Rosie".

Axl Rose joins in with ACDC the 7th of May in Lisbon, Portugal. Then following the rest of their European tour, while still playing with his own Guns N' Roses and their "Not In This Lifetime Tour" this summer in North America and then finishing the ACDC shows that got "paused" in North America earlier this year. I don't think I'm only speaking for myself when saying that this is a combination I'd love to see live. I'm wishing the best of luck to both Axl Rose with all the touring and to Brian Jonson, hope he will recover. For more info about ACDC you can check out their website and the same goes for Guns N' Roses.

The First Glimpse Of New Avenged Sevenfold Song

The word is that Avenged Sevenfold are working on a new album which might be released at the end of this year and that we perhaps could hear the first single at the end of this summer, but it can go either way with that. According to the band themselves they are at the "demo-state" in the making of their next album. But here is an instrumental glimpse of some new material for A7X fans to have a listen to. They are teasing with their fans here. Avenged Sevenfold recently changed drummer from Arin Ilejay to Brooks Wackerman (previously known from Bad Religion). Check it out in the clip below.

Ace Frehley + Paul Stanley Releases Their First Collaboration In 18 Years!

Since the Guns N' Roses reunion we've learned that everything is possible in the music industry...
Now, former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley (lead singer & guitarist in Kiss) have put out their first collaboration in 18 years. The result is a cover of a song called "Fire and Water" by the band "Free" for Ace's new cover-album named "Origins Vol.1". Ace are also working on a new book to be released next year, 2017. Though it's stated that Ace and Paul wasn't in the studio at the same time due to both parties busy schedules. As it is right now there are no plans for another collaboration, but as Frehley said in an interview when asked about it, "never say never". Fingers crossed that they'll write some new music, because they sound good together. Maybe next year we'll see a "Ace & Paul World tour" or the original Kiss reunite...?
Anyway, I think it's a cool version of  "Fire and Water" and you can listen to it in the mini player below.

Papa Roach enters the studio on February the 1st

The American alternative rock/metal band will enter the studio on February the 1st and start working on their ninth full length album. 

In December last year Papa Roach released a music video for the third single ”Falling Apart” from their latest album ”F.E.A.R”, 2015.

I’m hoping that Papa Roach’s new record will go back to their early sound instead of this techno/modern thing they’ve got going on now. I don’t think the latest album is that good and would love to hear them go back to that old Papa Roach sound, but with a new take. Unless they really get it together with this new ”sound”, but another album that sounds just like F.E.A.R would be a disappointment. That is not the style for Papa Roach. 

I would have put in the video for ”Falling Apart” but I thought the video sucked, and I also thought that it didn’t had anything to do with the song. So instead of watching a young woman run with a huge bag of money and then bleed to death, (sorry for spoling the end) you can see the video for their song ”Kick In The Teeth”, where we get to see Jacoby (the lead singer) throw around some trashcans, walk down a street, bump in to various people, get beaten up and still manage to stay on his feet, while singing. All that in the clip below. I really like that video because they try to say whatever life throws at you, you are strong enough to take it. Remember that any kind of violence is not okay! Enjoy!
