Def Leppard's Vivian Campbell Angry About Erroneous Divorce Story
(hennemusic) Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell is slamming TMZ over what he says are misleading items in a story posted by the gossip site over the weekend.

On Tuesday, the guitarist challenged the accuracy of the TMZ report with a post to his Facebook page. "It amazes me what people take for truth," Vivian writes. "If something is in print, does that automatically make it true? It's been reported that I'm filing for divorce and seeking joint child custody. That much is true. However, it was also erroneously reported that I'm seeking to deny spousal support when in fact, that couldn't be further from the truth."

"Those who know me will attest that I'm going out of my way to be as generous and accommodating as possible to my ex," he continued. "However, the damage is done; my character and name are sullied because TMZ chose to publish without checking the facts. Since then that 'truth' has been picked up and carried by various news sites around the world and further purported as fact." more on this story

Rolling Stones Release Doom And Gloom Video
(hennemusic) The Rolling Stones have released a video for "Doom And Gloom," one of two new songs on their "GRRR!" greatest hits package.

Directed by Jonas Akerlund, the clip stars award-winning Swedish actress Noomi Rapace (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), who jumped at the chance to get up close and personal with the Stones in Paris for the shoot.

The group filmed the footage behind closed doors in a Paris warehouse. Like the character in the movie, Noomi plays a punk wild child who not only joins the Stones performance, she also goes in for some rather splendid rock n roll /trash the place type behaviour… all in the best possible taste.

While the Stones play "Doom And Gloom," the actress goes into meltdown in one crazy sequence after another. Watch the video here.

"The viewer gets to see what he or she would normally never see from being in the audience," Meat Loaf explains. "(They see) the hands, the fingers, the facial expressions, the intensities; those kinds of things. That is what we were going for, to make the DVD different than the live show. The viewer gets to live in a different world," he adds.

The Who's Pete Townshend Explains Inspiration For His Windmill
(hennemusic) On a day off from The Who's current tour, Pete Townshend stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday to talk about his memoir and share some legendary stories, including the origin of Pete's famous windmill.

"We were a little R n'B band… and we supported the [Rolling] Stones on two shows; they were brand new, they were young, they had one hit with Chuck Berry's 'Come On,'" explained Townshend. "As the curtain opened, Keith Richards is kind of doing this (demonstrates windmill move). I thought it was part of his thing."

"Anyway, a couple of weeks later," Pete continued, "we support them again at a little club out in south London, and I'm watching carefully – waiting – and he doesn't do it. So, I go up to him afterwards and I said, 'Keith, you didn't do your arm swing thing.' And he went, 'What?' I said 'you know, that kind of windill-y thing…you know, your thing.' I can't tell you what he said. So, I picked it up…and I was inspired by Keith Richards in many ways." See video from his appearance here.

Chris Cornell Shares 'Sad' Recollections of Guns N' Roses Tour
(hennemusic) Soundgarden are doing a lot of interviews to promote their newly-released album, "King Animal." While speaking with Vulture.com about the new effort, singer Chris Cornell was asked what his recollections were of touring with Guns N' Roses back in 1991.

"Without saying anything negative about Axl [Rose], what I remember the most was Duff [McKagan] and Slash and everyone else being regular, sweet, warm guys in a rock band that just wanted to play rock music," recalls Cornell.

"And then, like, there was this Wizard of Oz character behind the curtain that seemed to complicate what was the most ideal situation they could ever have been in: They were the most successful and famous rock band on the planet. Every single show, hundreds of thousands of fans just wanted to hear songs. For some reason there seemed to be this obstacle in just going out and participating in that. That is what I remember the most. It's sad." more on this story

Supergroup Corvus Stone Releasing Debut Album This Month
Corvus Stone, which features members of BunChakeze, Progeland and Raven, will be releasing the physical version of their self-titled debut album on November 29th.

One song from the album was recently featured on a charity album dedicated to relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Although the actual band Corvus Stone is a reasonably new outfit, the various members of the group have some notable musical pedigrees. Guitarist Colin Tench is known for his work in BunChakeze, Road to Avalon (featuring former Flower Kings drummer Zoltan Csörsz Jr.) and the Colin Tench Project. Petri Lemmy Lindström (bass) plays in Progeland and Saturn Twilight and was formerly in Lyijykomppania. Keyboardist Pasi Koivu has performed as a solo artist and with Psychedelic Eye. Drummer Robert Wolff was previously in Raven and Micah.

The album also includes guest appearances by Blake Carpenter of Road to Avalon and Minstrel's Ghost (vocals) and John Culley (Black Widow and Odin) who provides guitar on one song. Learn more about the group here.

Singled Out: No Place For Heroes
Today Will Maurer from No Place For Heroes tells us about their new single, "Girls Want Bad Boys," which the band is offering as a free download! Here is the story:

We recorded this song during January 2012 in Paris. The point was to get back to the basics and we wanted to introduce our slightly more 'rock' sound that was also based around an electronic music format. The recording was done with the same team as the first album and we tried some new things with our sound, introduced new effects, and the end result is a good preview of what's to come.

The story behind the lyrics is basically tragicomical. It's about a guy who is so obsessed with impressing a girl that he finds himself in a ridiculous situation, being chased by the police after having robbed a bank, just because girls want "bad boys". It's based on a true story that took place in 2011 in the US. A man had robbed a bank in order to spoil his girlfriend and got 5 years in prison. The writing process for the lyrics was redone 3 or 4 times, and we finished the final version the night before the recording in a little Parisian apartment at 2 in the morning... I guess it was the most rock'n'roll version thanks to those conditions!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and grab the free download right here and you can learn more about the band here.

Aerosmith's Brad Whitford Issues Road Report
(hennemusic) Following the release of "Music From Another Dimension," Aerosmith's first new album in a decade, the band hit the road for the second leg of The Global Warming tour.

Now, guitarist Brad Whitford checks in from the tour backstage during the band's November 16 stop in Austin, Texas.

"It's pretty amazing...this band never fails to surprise me," says Whitford. "Seems like the band, performance-wise, has gone to another level. I don't know how we did that. The band's just playing great; very loose…loose in a way I've never really felt this band play before. Very relaxed and we're having a good time." Check out video here.

Nickelback Singer Cites Mathematical Formula To Success
(Gibson) Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger tells Bloomberg Businessweek that rock and roll success is all about math.

He told them, "I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say, 'I don't understand why this is happening to me?'

"There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening. And it's going to move exponentially throughout your career as you grow, or can decline exponentially if you start to fail as an artist." more on this story
