Country Singer Robert Earl Keen Tells Kings of Leon to ‘Man Up’
At this point, it’s pretty clear that Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill was dealing with a lot more than just heat exhaustion when he left the stage during the band’s show in Dallas last Friday — and that the band was thinking about more than the weather when it pulled the plug on its American tour.
But as far as Robert Earl Keen is concerned, the next time around, the band should think of a be
Former Toto and Survivor Vocalists Team Up for New Album [VIDEO]
It’s been awhile since their respective former bands were riding high on the radio with hits like ‘Hold the Line,’ ‘Eye of the Tiger,’ ‘Africa,’ and ‘The Search Is Over’ — but Bobby Kimball (ex-Toto) and Jimi Jamison (ex-Survivor) are still making music. In fact, now they’re making it together.
Longtime friends and fellow ’80s hitmakers, Kimball and Jamison found themselves at loose ends in recent
Kings of Leon Pull the Plug on Their US Tour

Now, the entire current leg of the band’s tour has been cancelled — and it sure looks like more than the heat is to blame. Uh oh.
What Are Rock’s Most Shocking Album Covers?
Being proudly provocative has always been part of rock ‘n’ roll — from the music’s earliest days, when simply shaking one’s hips on television was enough to send middle-aged Americans into a righteous lather, the formula for some of the best rock has been one part rhythm, one part volume, and one part shock.
This has also been true for album covers, which some of rock’s most forward-thinking perfo
Beastie Boys Release Remix EP for ‘Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win’ [AUDIO]
The Beastie Boys’ new single, ‘Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,’ already had a nifty, Spike Jonze-directed video to its name — but the Beasties aren’t stopping there.

Justin Bieber’s Head Now Worth $1 Million – Company Sculpts Sold Gold Bust of Singer

Loverboy Plots Comeback with New Single, ‘Heartbreaker’ [VIDEO]
They’ve been out of the limelight for awhile, but Canadian rockers Loverboy — whose string of ’80s hits included ‘Working for the Weekend’ and ‘Turn Me Loose’ — are on the comeback trail.
The band convened recently to record a new single, ‘Heartbreaker,’ with Bob Rock, the producer who was behind the boards for their biggest hits. Although it doesn’t look like a full-length album is in the cards a
Velvet Revolver Album with Corey Taylor of Slipknot Killed by Slash
They have an all-star lineup and a pair of top five albums to their credit, so what’s keeping Velvet Revolver from soldiering on without departed vocalist Scott Weiland?
According to drummer Matt Sorum, the band has tried — even going so far as to record an entire album’s worth of new material with Slipknot/Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor. But it hasn’t panned out — so far, anyway.
Aerosmith Offers Clip of First Song From New Album [VIDEO]

Eric Clapton and Wynton Marsalis to Release Live CD/DVD
Since delving into the blues with 1994′s ‘From the Cradle,’ Eric Clapton has more or less divided his time between albums of original material and projects that pay tribute to his influences.
Now he’s looking back to the past again — and he isn’t alone.
