The old man down the road, Mr. John Fogerty, is working on an album featuring new recordings of some of his old classics, with a new twist.

Paul Stanley is kissing and telling, giving his take on Kiss‘s Rodney Dangerfield-esque “no respect” treatment from the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Stanley said “I don’t need validation from an organization where I don’t even know who is doing the voting,” adding a fact not talked about outside the inner circles, “There are board members who have said,

Summer’s here and the time is right, for rocking in the streets… or at least in an appropriate venue of some sort. A cavalcade of rockers, from Van Halen to the Steve Miller Band and Crosby, Stills and Nash, are heading out on the road to help you enjoy the nice weather and make you forget about all your worries for at least one night...

Rev up that big ol’ jet airliner — the Steve Miller Band are back on the road. The tour, which will take the group through 10 countries in seven months, kicks off May 20th at the Doheny Blues Festival in California and winds down in Vienna, Austria on November 4th.

Could it be a new celebrity feud? Johnny Depp can be seen calling rock legend Alice Cooper an “ugly woman” in a newly released video. Okay, so maybe Depp himself didn’t say that, but his latest film alter ego sure did in the trailer for the upcoming movie ‘Dark Shadows.’

Fifty years ago this week (yesterday, March 19, 1962 to be exact), the self-titled debut album from Bob Dylan was released. The world was certainly a very different place in 1962 than it is in 2012.

In 1967, Apple was conceived by The Beatles and manager Brian Epstein, but wasn’t officially launched until January of 1968, several months after Epstein passed away. The imprint became synonymous with The Beatles and lasts to this day...

Steven Tyler is one busy man — recording a new Aerosmith album, planning a big summer tour, and starring on TV’s top rated show ‘American Idol.’ As if that weren’t enough, now he’s found time to talk about … nipples. Well, one in particular: that of Tyler’s ‘Idol’ co-star Jennifer Lopez, who had a near-mishap in the wardrobe department on Oscar night.

Everybody’s got a story to tell, and a story to sell. We can now add Aerosmith guitar legend Joe Perry to the ever growing list of scribes. Just as Bruce Springsteen was revealing he has shelved plans to pen his own memoir, Perry announced via Twitter that he has a book is in the works — but offered up little in the way of details...

The Welsh Witch herself, the one and only Miss Stevie Nicks, will soon be making a guest appearance on the NBC sitcom ‘Up All Night.’ Nicks will play herself in an upcoming episode of the series, which stars Christina Applegate and Maya Rudolph.

Welcome back to the David Lee Roth interview show! Tonight’s guests include everybody’s favorite rock star duo of brotherly love. No, not Noel and Liam, it’s Eddie and Alex! Roth sits down with the Van Halen brothers for a little Q&A. Who better to dig under the surface for some historical Van Halen anecdotes than the ringleader himself?

Awards, awards…someone is always handing out awards! The Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced their inductees for 2012 and the list includes Bob Seger, Gordon Lightfoot and Jim Steinman. Canadian born Lightfoot, known for a string of hits such as ‘Sundown,’ ‘If You Could Read My Mind,’ ‘Carefree Highway’ and ‘The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald,’ began his career in a manner similar to that of ma
