Rolling Stones: Additional $85 tickets to be made available for tour



The Rolling Stones have announced that they will be making additional $85 tickets available to shows on their upcoming “50 & Counting” North American tour.

Fan demand for the low-price tickets was so great when seats originally went on sale that they immediately sold-out.

Now, the Stones have revealed that fans may now have a second opportunity to but the special $85 tickets.

Tickets will be available once the band’s staging and production is loaded in to the venue and additional seating availability can be determined.

Some tickets will be among the best seats in the house - in the Tongue Pit - with others spread around the arena.

To be part of the special opportunity, fan must register now at the Stones facebook page here.

Registered fans will be notified the day of show if these seats will be available for the concert in their city.

The Stones will launch their “50 & Counting” arena tour at the Staples Center in Los Angeles this Friday May 3; the original May 2 show was moved due to the NBA playoff schedule. Tickets will be honoured for the rescheduled date.

The tour will see the Stones play 17 shows across North America, wrapping up June 21 in Philadelphia.

Metallica Night at AT&T Park adds National Anthem Guitar Auction



Metallica Night at AT&T Park in San Francisco this Friday (May 3) has added a National Anthem Guitar Auction to the event.

For starters, Metallica will be on hand to kick off the San Francisco Giants’ home-opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers by performing the National Anthem and throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.

As part of the festivities, fans can bid on one, or both, of the custom-made Giants guitars played during the anthem by Metallica members James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett.

The Hetfield axe is a one-of-a-kind custom-made ESP "Snakebite" Giants guitar, while Hammett’s is one-of-a-kind custom-made ESP "KH2 Vintage" Giants guitar; both will be signed by all four Metallica members for the auction.

Proceeds from the auction will be split 50/50 between The Giants Community Fund and The Bill Graham Memorial Foundation.

More details on the auction, the bidding deadline and a proxy bid form can be found here.

Fleetwood Mac release first new music in 10 years



Fleetwood Mac have released their first new music in 10 years.

“Extended Play,” a 4-song EP available exclusively via iTunes, marks the band’s first studio release since 2003’s “Say You Will.”

The project includes three new songs, “Sad Angel,” “It Takes Time” and “Miss Fantasy,” written by guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, and a fourth cut, “Without You,” written by Stevie Nicks.

“Without You” was a lost song from the Buckingham/Nicks days which had been missing and happily rediscovered when someone posted an early demo of it on YouTube.

Order “Extended Play” exclusively at iTunes here.

Fleetwood Mac are currently on a 48-city concert tour of North America.

This spring, Eddie Van Halen surprised fans when he revealed that he had collaborated with LL Cool J on two tracks on the veteran rapper's new album, “Authentic.”

In stores today, “Authentic” includes performances by Van Halen on "We're The Greatest" and "Not Leaving You Tonight." Both tracks can be heard below.

"The thought of me playing guitar to hip hop was definitely left of center, but I was intrigued and I agreed to meet and listen to what he had,” Eddie told Guitar World recently. “I was not only inspired by the songs I heard, but LL's enthusiasm, his down-to-earth personality, the freedom he gave me to co-create and his willingness to, for the very first time, sing the chorus on 'We're the Greatest.' It was like a breath of fresh air that I needed as an artist and an individual."

When asked why he choose to reach out to the iconic guitarist, LL Cool J explained, “This album was born out of my true love for music and I knew Eddie shared that same vision for authentic music. I approached this song with the upmost respect for Eddie and his fans, and became friends with him through the process. I was humbled to watch a genius at work and collaborate with such a legendary and visionary artist as Eddie Van Halen, and to bring our two worlds together, was an exciting opportunity. I am thrilled he was up for the ride.”

Eddie has made guest appearances on projects throughout his career, including records by Michael Jackson, Roger Waters, Steve Lukather, Dweezil Zappa, Thomas Dolby and Nicolette Larson.
