When I first heard that Ke$ha has a collaboration with Alice Cooper for the rock singer’s upcoming album “Welcome 2 My Nightmare”, which is due out on September 13, I had to raise my eyebrows and then laugh. But after hearing a snippet of the new song called “What Baby Wants”, I take back my reservations and jokes about it. I actually think it’s good. I thought the pop star’s presence was going to be bad for the vibe of the song but Alice is still pretty in control of the music and Ke$ha’s part actually adds a fun element to it. I can’t wait to hear the whole thing now!

It’s been a few weeks since Gavin DeGraw was brutally beaten by multiple assailants on the streets of New York City but the singer is speaking out about the entire ordeal. More than anything, Gavin seems to be ready to move forward with his life and re-join Maroon 5 and Train on tour tonight. In an interview with People, Gavin said “It’s definitely a combination of excitement and nerves, because my breathing isn’t exactly the same. I’m feeling out my breathing through my nose trying to see if the swelling’s going down. The sensation is mildly different, so that makes me fearful about singing.” Gavin also talked about what he remembers of the night of the attack and his injuries. Head on over to People.com for the full interview.

At 48 hours after the stage crash, the festival’s gates were reopened, but only to carry out an event in memory of the victims.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman said his son helped him forgive his own father.
The 48-year-old rocker said that his son, three years old, Everly Bear, made him understand the education he received from their father, John Kiedis, and forgave his mistakes.
John Kiedis allowed the artist to try drugs at an early age, even intervened in the process of sexual maturation of his son, Anthony Kiedis then 11 years old, arranging for him to lose his virginity with his girlfriend.
“The fact that the relationship I have with my son is so great made me forgive my own father and even to appreciate him,” said RHCP singer for The Sun newspaper.
Anthony Kiedis was for a long time an alcohol and heroin addict, and finally managed to come clean in 2000. While acknowledging that he still feels tempted to resume his old habits, the artist claims to be determined for the sake of his son, Everly.

John Frusciante, former guitarist in the band Red Hot Chili Peppers, fears for his safety and his family.
Harassed by an insistent fan, he decided to get a restraining order against her. August Elizabeth Thomas has paid repeated visits to the American guitarist, making her appearance at both his concerts, and his home.
To protect his family, and himself too, John Frusciante – who left RHCP in 2009, being replaced by Josh Klinghoffer – decided to get a restraining order against her. Initially, the fan approached the guitarist with the intention of writing a screenplay about his life and after his refusal, she began to send aggressive emails, informs TMZ.
Also, John Frusciante claims that the fan went to his wife’s concerts too, Nicole Turley, to discuss with her about the script in question. The case will go to court later this month.

Snow Patrol has recently premiered the music video for their song “Called Out in the Dark”. The track is the official first single from the British rock band’s sixth studio album “Fallen Empires”, which is set to hit stores this fall. The song is awesome and I just love the electronic touch they added to the track. As for the recently VEVO premiered visual, singer Gary Lightbody wrote about it on his blog, saying “lovely people, this is supposed to be funny. no need to be taken so seriously. having some fun with our videos from now on. unless the song doesn’t lend itself to joking around a bit then we’ll not go there of course.” I guess he’s read some negative comments about the video. Taking that into account, the video really is pretty funny.

Good news for Evanescence fans. The band released their first single after a looong break and, most importantly, the song sounds great.
The band’s new single is called “What You Want”. The song precedes the release of the album `Evanescence`. The rockers are ready to release their disc that bares their name on 11th of October 2011.
Also, Amy Lee has revealed details about the direction of the new album. Electro music songs are inspired by the bands MGMT, Portishead and Massive Attack. Singer Amy Lee said that the five-year break the band made was caused by an “identity crisis”. Now, however, the musicians have found the style that suits them and are ready to return to charts.
Nick Oliveri endured a long and intense SWAT team standoff last month after calls of domestic violence were made. Following the big mess, the former bassist for Queens of Stone Age was arrested on July 12 and is now charged with 4 felonies and could land in prison for 15 years. The rock star was originally booked on felony domestic violence but once police searched his home, he got into even bigger trouble as they found a fully-loaded rifle, cocaine and methamphetamines. That brings his charges to 5 – 2 counts of possession of a controlled substance with a firearm, 2 counts of possession of a controlled substance and 1 misdemeanor count of resisting, obstructing or delaying a peace officer.
Jani Lane has passed away this past weekend. The former lead singer for the 80s metal band Warrant was only 47 years old – far too young to have already left this world. The rock star was found dead at a Comfort Inn in Woodland Hills, California, with his cause of death yet to be determined. Jani had a long time and well documented struggle with alcohol but there’s no word yet on whether or not that had anything to do with his untimely passing. My thoughts go out to Jani’s family, friends and loved ones during this very difficult time.

Blink-182 are back after a long break with a clip for the song “Up All Night.”
After a long break made in 2005, since when the guys from Blink-182 did not make any new clips, they returns with a material for the song “Up All Night.”
What is special is that this video is different, it is actually made of many videos made by fans along the years.
And if you were thinking that the images are only of the band, you are wrong. Blink-182 wanted this video-montage to include as many movies of fans as possible.
So you will see a lot of young people who skateboard or bike jumping, dancing, playing various instruments, or do stop motion.
Clips were chosen from a series of many proposals submitted, and the selection was made by the band.
“This time I wanted to try something different,” said Mark Hoppus.
