Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis admits the band have done poor work in the past – but upcoming album I’m With You isn’t in that category.
The band are poised to release their follow-up to 2006′s Stadium Arcadium, featuring new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who replaced John Frusciante when he refused to return after their two-year hiatus.
Work began in November 2009 and the finished album is due out on August 30. The band are planning to tour for an extended period once it’s released. Kiedis tells Rolling Stone: “I know when we write mediocre stuff and when we write good stuff. I can’t wait to go out and play this.”
Slipknot’s Corey Taylor says the band’s upcoming festival shows will help him decide if he can continue after the death of bass player Paul Gray.
According to the Daily Express, Taylor is still unsure whether the band can continue. He said: “There’s a part of me that’s ready and there’s a part of me that’s not.”I have a lot of trepidation about it. I don’t know how to feel. I know a lot of the guys in the band are trying not to show that side, and I can’t.”
While Gray’s bass duties will be handled by the band’s original bassist, Donnie Steele, Taylor is unsure whether Gray can be replaced. “Without Paul Gray, there would have been no Slipknot, and I mean that sincerely… It’s strange for me to think about the future of Slipknot without him.
“This tour coming up is definitely going to be like baby steps… It’s going to be a long time before I feel OK about it. I’m not saying that I’m not open to it. I’m just saying that I’m not there yet, and I don’t know how long it’s going to take me to get there. So we’re just going to have to see what happens. Only time will tell.”
Coldplay will unveil their comeback single on Friday, June 3. “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” will stream from the band’s official website, with the download going on sale this weekend.
Rumors have been rife about Coldplay’s new songs. Drummer Will Champion recently posted on the band’s site: “We’re about to play a bunch of summer festivals so it’s as good a time as any to put out a new song.” Among the lyrics: “I turn the music up/ I got my records on/ from underneath the rubble” and “Every siren is a symphony/ every tear’s a waterfall.”
Speaking to Q magazine in November 2010, frontman Chris Martin said the follow-up to Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends is inspired by “’70s graffiti art and Germany’s anti-Nazi White Rose movement.” He added that the new album will be “group-y” and “guitar-y,” with a title that “will probably begin with an M.”
Black Label Society mainman Zakk Wylde says he has no time for musicians who attend rehab to deal with their drink or drugs problems.
When he was told to stop using alcohol last year as a result of suffering serious blood clots in his legs, that’s just what he did: he stopped. And he says that’s the approach he expects from his band.
“The complaint department is closed. You don’t go to rehab, you just stop drinking. That’s Black Label rehab: it’s a one-step programme. Shut up and stop drinking,” Wylde tells the Press of Atlantic City. “I don’t have time for ‘I have a heroin problem,’ I don’t fucking care. I don’t care what you did yesterday or six months ago – I got shit to get done.”

Rockers AC/DC have ruled out following in the footsteps of the Beatles by bringing their music into the digital age as they are determined not to let their tracks be sold as internet downloads.
The Fab Four’s hits finally went online in late 2010 after years of legal wrangling to broker a deal with digital retailer iTunes.
AC/DC remain one of the few high-profile bands who haven’t yet allowed their songs to be downloaded through the web, and guitarist Angus Young is adamant a deal is not on the horizon.
Speaking at the launch of the band’s concert film in London, Young told reporters, “I know The Beatles have changed but we’re going to carry on like that. For us it’s the best way. We are a band who started off with albums and that’s how we’ve always been. Usually the best tracks were on the albums.”

The Beastie Boys have released a hilarious trailer to their 30 minute movie “Fight for Your Right – Revisited.”
The trailer stars Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Elijah Wood, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Ted Danson, Stanley Tucci, Rainn Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Steve Buscemi, Will Arnett and Susan Sarandon.
The short film apparently takes place right after the original “Fight for Your Right” music video, and has something to do with the Beasties Brothers from the 80s meeting the Beastie Boys from today.
Their new album and the movie, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, come out May 3.

Travis Barker says he gets on better with hip-hop artists than he does with rock musicians and he finds he can do more with the rap genre than he can with Blink-182.
The drummer is tired of being judged by “nazi bastards” who feel he shouldn’t be working with rap stars like Lil Wayne, Drake and Eminem. He tells Complex.com: “It seems like I have more in common, or hit it off better, with rappers than fools in rock music.
“I got people who were mad when I played the Grammys with Wayne, Drake and Eminem. It’s one of the biggest highlights of my life but they’re like, ‘Stop playing this rap sh*t,’” he said. “F**k you, man. Open up your eyes and ears, you nazi bastards. Don’t be so close-minded. Since I was a kid I listened to all types of music and no one judged me for it. If they did I told them to go f**k themselves.”
Courtney Love considered snorting her late husband Kurt Cobain’s ashes in the weeks following the Nirvana star’s suicide, according to the author of a new book. Music journalist Neil Strauss alleges he was with the Hole singer in Los Angeles when she ‘introduced’ him to the cremated ashes of the rock icon.
And, in his just-released collection of rock interviews, the writer claims Love suggested snorting the remains up her nose. Strauss insists the rocker was “serious when she made the suggestion.” According to his new book, Love said, “Too bad you don’t do coke. Otherwise I’d suggest taking a metal straw to it.”
