(hennemusic) Meatloaf has shared his strong feelings about Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler becoming an American Idol judge.

"I think Steven [Tyler] is one of the great rock vocalists of all time," Meat Loaf tells USA Today. "I have so much respect for him [but] there's just something about me that says, 'I love Steven, but I don't want to see him on American Idol. I just don't."

Loaf begins his own reality show career as a contestant on The Celebrity Apprentice, which launches next month, and he's aware that that his fans may feel the same way about his presence, as he feels about Tyler's. "So there may be some people out there that feel the same way about me [and think] 'God, I can't believe Meat Loaf is on Celebrity Apprentice. I just can't watch him on that.'" more on this story

AC/DC Racing?
(Gibson) AC/DC frontman and fast car enthusiast Brian Johnson wants to take part in Australia's V8 Supercar series.

According to Undercover.fm, Johnson spoke to Australia's Watcha News and said, "last year we were talking about race series I could do. Australian V8 Supercars came up and I'd love to have a shot in one of them. It's going to be quite a year. My season will start in Florida, where I live, and with a bit of luck it could end up in a V8 supercar Down Under."

Johnson went on to explain the similarities between racing and rock and roll: "I love the atmosphere with an audience in our rock concerts. Translate that audience to the racetrack. It would be amazing. I've tried NASCAR at Indianapolis. That gets your arse twitching like a rabbit's nose. I just loved it. Like NASCAR, V8 Supercars have a lot of power there and all the cars are pretty equal so that's what makes it so exciting to watch." more on this story

Singled Out: Michael Stanley
Today 70s rocker Michael Stanley Michael Stanley tells us about "It's All About Tonight" from his brand new album "Shadowland". Here is the story:

Somewhat after the fact, I realized that the album's opener, 'It's All About Tonight' had perfectly encapsulated what had become a recurring theme in my writing; the idea that you just don't know what's around the corner and that it's critical to remain open to the possibilities...that 'tonight', one way or another, always has the possibility of being a game-changer. And, oh yeah...this cut proves that the ability to rock hard is not limited to twenty year olds!

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

Guns N' Roses and AC/DC Classics Make Greatest Guitar Riffs Of All Time
Today Gibson presents no. 21-30 in their countdown of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. Here are a couple highlights:

30. "Welcome to the Jungle," Guns N' Roses (1987): You know you've scored a killer riff when it becomes a staple at all major sporting events to fire up a crowd. The first song ever co-written by Slash and Axl Rose, "Welcome to the Jungle" was the second single from Guns N' Roses landmark 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction. In his autobiography, Slash says it was Axl who remembered and reminded him of the classic riff when GN'R were first starting to write songs together. The Chapeaued Shredder originally conjured "Jungle's" riff while shacking up in his mother's basement. – Sean Patrick Dooley

25. "Highway to Hell," AC/DC (1979): Brothers Angus and Malcolm Young have always been geniuses at harnessing the no-nonsense power of open chords, and "Highway to Hell" features some doozies. But its main riff also includes a very clever moving bass note (F# to G) under a D chord shape, which adds a sense of movement and complexity to an otherwise simple two-chord riff. That same feeling of movement drives the verse along and sets everything up for the Big Chorus, another AC/DC staple. – Peter Hodgson Read today's full list

The Turtles Frontman Howard Kaylan To Pen Memoirs
(Hal Leonard) Backbeat Books plan to publish the autobiography of Howard Kaylan, lead vocalist of sixties rockers, The Turtles. A release date was not provided. But they did send this background info:

Veteran music journalist Jeff Tamarkin will collaborate on memoir from the legendary voice behind the "Happy Together" band, Zappa's Mothers of Invention, and Flo & Eddie.

If Howard Kaylan had sung only one song, the Turtles' 1967 #1 smash hit "Happy Together," his place in rock and roll history would still be secure. But that recording, named in 1999 by BMI as one of the top 50 songs of the 20th century, with over 5 million radio plays, is only the tip of the iceberg. more on this story

Bob Geldof Returns With How To Compose Popular Songs That Will Sell
Mercury/Vagrant Records have set a March 15, 2011 release of Bob Geldof's new record "How To Compose Popular Songs That Will Sell."

The album will be launched at SXSW where Geldof will perform and headline as keynote speaker.

The name Bob Geldof is habitual and ubiquitous. It is woven into three decades of the global narrative and its cultural soap opera. Ask people have they heard of him and all will answer in the affirmative. Ask them what he does and all will have a separate answer. Ask do they have an opinion of him and, for good or ill, most will. Ask how that opinion was formed and they don't quite know. Whistle one of his tunes and most will remember it but they won't know who wrote it. Bob Geldof is the most famous secret songwriter in the UK.

Par Lindh Project Release New Album
(Glass Onyon) Swedish Prog legends Par Lindh Project featuring Starcastle vocalist release new CD.

For those in the progressive rock community Pär Lindh is considered a keyboard wizard – so much so that he was chosen to play keys for the reunion of the legendary Nice (a prestigious position only held by keyboard visionary Keith Emerson) With the release of several highly acclaimed albums, the Pär Lindh Project band has garnered worldwide acclaim. After original lead vocalist Magdalena Hagberg sadly passed away in 2007, and a subsequent hiatus by the band, Pär felt the time was right to record and release his next album and recruited the exquisite vocalist Alan Lewis, former Alaska member, who is the most recent vocalist with American prog legends Starcastle.

Lewis also adds his tasty solid drum work to the mix. Also added to the line-up is bass virtuoso William Kopecky. The new CD 'Time Mirrors' is a true masterpiece in progressive rock and has been garnering critical acclaim across the planet. The album has recently been nominated for the 'Best CD of 2010' by the Italian Prog Awards. http://www.parlindh.com/
