Another Aerosmith Member Weighs In On Comic-Book Band KISS
(hennemusic) Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton has weighed in on the battle with KISS which was sparked when Steven Tyler called them a "comic book rock band" in a recent interview.

"It's funny. I don't know where that came from. I guess he just happened to say something in the course of an interview and it got blown up." Hamilton tells Pure Grain Audio

"Well, there's some entertainment value there... Rivalry. Any story with good conflict in it is interesting," continued Hamilton. "We used to tour with them in the '70s. Actually, we didn't really do that many tours together. We did some shows together and then we parted ways because we had made it and then they made it. So, they were out on their own. There was a rivalry and I remember the dressing room talk about the opening act and what they wear, what they look like and what they do, but over the years I've come to have more respect for KISS through fans that I know."

"They have very very loyal fans and as far as Steven's comment in a way their origins are... If you talk to Gene Simmons, he might even agree with it," added Tom. Read more of his comments here.

Former Elysium Singer Found Dead
Former Elysium vocalist Terry Allen, 46, was found dead in his apartment last week, according to Noise Creep.

The site reports that Elysium's drummer, Tim Jorgensen, issued the following "open letter" about Allen's passing:

It is with my deepest regret that I must pass on the news of the death of Terry W. Allen. He was found dead in his apartment on Monday, October 22nd, 2012. To most reading this he was a great guitarist, innovative song writer, talented singer and the backbone to Elysium and the Inspired Hatred cd. He also played in Paramoure in the late 1980's, Phoenix Rising (a country band of all things) in the early 90's, Parricide, Rage (this goes way back to high school in the early 80's) and I am sure I am missing some as well. He was truly a rocker indeed. He brought the best out of me as a drummer and had a profound influence on me both musically and personally. I have truly been privileged to be part of Terry and his family since we started jammin' together at 11 years old. Read the rest of his statement here.

That's how I see everything: what can I be a part of that's exciting? And if anybody's got any ideas, then I'm always up for it." more on this story

Saxon have set a November 20th, 2012 release date for their new documentary, "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie." Chipster sent over these details:

The double-disc set features the soon-to-be-celebrated story of Saxon, while the second disc is packed with bonus features including a full-length performance (on St. George's Day) from April 23rd, 2008. Rivetingly honest, and including the frank memories of every musician who has played in the band, Heavy Metal Thunder – The Movie pieces together the earliest incarnations of Saxon, from frontman Biff Byford's teenage years in the coalmines of Yorkshire and Son Of A Bitch (the first incarnation of Saxon) all the way through to top 10 hits and world tours.

"Our music was more sort of machinery banging together, wheels turning, machines making noise," says Biff of those early, industrial days, "It's what Heavy Metal is all about. Heavy Metal is all about hard, big sounds bashing your skull in. I used to work in factories where big machinery made lot of noise and I used to sing along to the noises they made." more on this story

Dave Stewart Documentary Premieres On TV This Week
MTV's high definition station Palladia is set to premiere Dave Stewart's documentary "The Ringmaster General" this Friday, November 2 at 9:00 PM (ET/PT).

Here is the synopsis: Filmed in Nashville during Stewart's recording sessions for two explosive albums--the acclaimed 2011 release, The Blackbird Diaries, and this year's The Ringmaster General (Weapons of Mass Entertainment/Surfdog)--this tongue-in-cheek documentary follows Stewart's adventures in songwriting, letting the viewer witness his eccentric but compelling methods of creativity. The days were filled with mayhem and martinis, while a circus of characters cross Stewart's path; many muses appear to join in the fun including Alison Krauss, Martina McBride, Colbie Caillat, The Secret Sisters, Joss Stone, Stevie Nicks, Jessie Baylin, Diane Birch and Orianthi.

The road that led to The Ringmaster General begins in London with the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Dave Stewart was grounded there with no hope of getting home to Los Angeles. A wander down Denmark Street leads him to a vintage guitar shop where an old acoustic guitar catches Dave's eye. Learning the previous owner was an eccentric country and western star named Red River Dave, Stewart gets inspired. The next morning a flight opens up, by way of Nashville, and Stewart jumps at the chance to investigate the music city. Magically Big Kenny (Big and Rich) leads the way into adventure with the documentary capturing a unique moment in time where the music business is locked out and the lunatics take over the asylum.

Brian May InTheStudio For Queen's News Of The World
(InTheStudio) The latest episode of the syndicated Rock radio show InTheStudio celebrates Queen's 1977 classic News Of The World.

News Of The World featuring perhaps the two most recognized Rock anthems in history. "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions." Brian May recalls to InTheStudio host Redbeard how Queen's singer Freddie Mercury envisioned those songs to be and why that spirit continues today.

"He (Freddie) could already see how it would be, if we played it in a concert and everyone had their hands in the air and we sang "We Are The Champions". And I could see that's what it's about. Years later we talked about it and he said to me, 'Rock'n'Roll is the only place where everybody has a feeling of like being on a team, but you're not fighting anybody.' It's like if you're at a game you have two sides who are singing their songs and feeling very much part of a team, but they all want to kill the other side. The difference at a rock concert is, everybody's in the same team." Stream the program here.
