    Frontman Dave Grohl commented:

    “Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing. From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon.

    What better way to share the view than with close friends? In 1992 I first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer. 33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age. Take cover.

    But none of this would be complete without new music to share from Pat, Nate, Chris, Rami, Ilan and I. ‘Asking for a Friend’ is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.

    One of many songs to come…”

    Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris commented:

    “We are greatly looking forward to bringing this ‘Run For Your Lives’ tour to North America and hope the fans enjoy seeing the show and hearing the set list as much as we do playing it. It’s an added bonus to have a few of our good friends on the tour with us. Megadeth are playing all the shows and it’s an honor to have them join us on their last-ever tour. We also have Anthrax with us on the bigger shows. We had a great time with them when they came out with us on Ed Force One around the world in 2016. We’re delighted to have both bands with us for this tour and know our fans will enjoy seeing them.”

    Singer Bruce Dickinson continued:

    “This whole tour has been such great fun. I really enjoy belting out all these great old songs, and the whole band are loving playing them too! We’ve got all the big ones from that early period including ‘Hallowed’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Trooper’, ‘Number Of The Beast’, ‘Killers’, ‘Powerslave’, ‘2 Minutes’… and some of them we haven’t played in the U.S. for over 20 years!! Plus there’s some real epics including my particular favorite ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘Seventh Son’… We are doing them all and more. I mean, who wouldn’t for a 50th-birthday party!”

    Manager Rod Smallwood added:

    “For a tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of Iron Maiden, the scale and incredible visual aspects of this show deserve larger venues than the arenas we have generally played in the past. We particularly chose this time of year to go bigger outdoors but to give us darkness when we go on stage so you will see the best of the production. Fans certainly won’t be disappointed in the show or the 50th-anniversary set list that is for sure! We particularly look forward to playing the huge shows in Montréal and the Alamodome in San Antonio, two of the biggest shows we have ever played in North America plus, of course, Louder Than Life — America’s biggest Rock Festival! Along with the stadium shows in Los Angeles, New Jersey and Hershey we have also chosen to play a few of the biggest amphitheaters as they always have a fantastic atmosphere and great visual sight lines. We’re also going to be doing everything we can to bring the hugely popular Eddie’s Pop-up Dive Bar experience across the Atlantic for the very first time. Our European fans just loved these and we’re convinced that the mix of Maiden fans, Trooper Beer and exclusive tour merch makes for a winning combination. Likewise we will continue to offer the well-loved Trooper VIP Experience at all venues.

    Finally, it was really special on our European dates this year to see that the vast majority of our fans appreciated and respected our request to severely limit their use of phones at our concerts, ideally just keeping it in their pockets the whole time, especially in those standing areas in front of the stage. Our fans’ understanding and cooperation made a colossal difference to the atmosphere of every show and increased the enjoyment enormously for the band and fans alike. So for all our North American shows we are once again requesting that fans keep their phones in their pockets and enjoy the show ‘in the moment’, rather than raise their phone in the air trying to film sections and thus inconveniencing those around them and annoying the band. So if a so-called fan near you thinks they are special and filming what they selfishly want please just ask them, very politely of course, to put their phone somewhere the sun doesn’t shine!”

  • The 69 Eyes Recruit Steve Stevens For New Version Of “Lost Boys”

    The 69 Eyes have recruited Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) for a 20th anniversary edition of their classic track “Lost Boys.” That song was inspired by the 1987 film of the same name.

    Singer Jyrki 69 commented:

    “The movie came out in the best 80’s hard rock and glam times and that’s what we wanted to capture — like dreaming what would have happened if Billy Idol, Guns N’ Roses and Mötley Crüe had come together to make music for it.

    It is the main song The 69 Eyes is known for around the world. We always end our show with it. It is impossible to play any more after that.

    We really did think that there is no reason to re-record the song. The only way we would do it was if Steve Stevens was playing guitar on it.

    [He’s] the mythical rock ‘n’ roll lead guitarist that you saw on the coolest MTV music videos, continuing the same dark and glamorous style like Link Wray and Johnny Thunders but in the video age. He is a legend.

    So if we were going to celebrate the song’s 20th anniversary and re-record it, we’d also have to make our original fantasy come true by having Steve on lead guitar. And it still feels unreal and dreamy that Cleopatra Records were able to make it happen.

    We wanted it to be a Halloween surprise for our fans. Maybe there’s still rock fans out there who do not know the song… maybe we can reach their Halloween parties as well?

    We’re currently on the road with D.A.D. in Europe, and we’ll be playing a special Halloween show on the cruise ship as well.”

  • Eddie Trunk “To Explore A Tribute Concert / Fan Celebration” For The Late Ace Frehley (Ex-KISS)

    SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk was among the select guests invited to attend the funeral of the late great Ace Frehley (ex-KISS). Now, the radio personality has shared some more details on the service, while also revealing that he has been given permission “to explore a tribute concert / fan celebration” for the legendary guitarist. Trunk said the following:

    “Ace Frehley has now been laid to rest in his hometown of Bronx NY. It’s been an emotional couple of days remembering and celebrating Ace with a small group of family and close friends, including the 3 surviving original members of KISS . I have been given the okay by his family to explore a tribute concert / fan celebration. When I have any real news on this I’ll let you know. Extremely early and just talk at the moment, but we all feel it’s important to happen for the fans and all the players he influenced. Nothing at all to report beyond that for now, but when there is you will know. For now enjoy the music he left us and celebrate his great legacy.”

  • Guns N’ Roses Comment On Axl Rose’s Recent Onstage Meltdown

    As previously reported, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose recently made headlines after kicking and throwing a mic at Isaac Carpenter’s drum set during the band’s October 18 show in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Now, the band have officially addressed the meltdown. They said the following:

    “During the opening song at our recent Buenos Aires concert, Axl’s in-ear monitor pack had only the percussion in his ears versus his entire mix. The issue was fixed by our tech team by the third song, and we had a great night. The situation had nothing to do with Isaac Carpenter‘s playing, who is top notch and a great drummer.”
