Report: New Guns n’ Roses Song Premiering on “Rock Band 2?

The New York Times reports that MTV is expected to announce today that a brand new Guns n’ Roses song will make it’s debut via Rock Band 2, the sequel to the hit video game that allows players to contribute their own guitar, bass, drums and vocals to hit rock songs. “Shackler’s Revenge,” a new track from Chinese Democracy (though not included with the recently-leaked supposedly finished tracks), will get its world premiere via the game, also suggesting that an autumn release for Chinese Democracy is inevitable. Rock Band 2, developed by Harmonix and distributed by MTV Games, will also feature songs from Rush and AC/DC, and according to a track list leaked last week may also include songs from Elvis Costello and Bob Dylan. • More Guns n’ Roses at Rock Daily

Photo: Barket/GettyAt a book signing Saturday afternoon at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer confirmed the band is experiencing “personal differences,” and will seek a new singer should Steven Tyler depart to pursue “brand Tyler,” as the frontman recently told Classic Rock magazine. “What kind of singer? A real, real good one,” Kramer said. “Just like writers write and dancers dance, we’re musicians,” he added. “We make music. That’s what we want to continue to do,

Breaking: Band of Skulls

Who: Band of Skulls, a British trio whose shit-kicking, bare-bones brand of gritty rock & roll earned them a spot on the hugely anticipated soundtrack to the next Twilight movie, New Moon. Sounds Like: White Stripes fans will dig Band of Skulls’ swampy, heavily blues-influenced jams, especially the psychedelic stomp of “Light of the Morning” and the hard-charging “I Know What I Am.” But these guys aren’t just blues-rock formalists: they occasionally veer into complex prog-rock territory on track

Brand New Does the Soft-Loud Thing At Gramercy Theater

Long Island emo outfit Brand New delivered an excellent conclusion to their run of hometown gigs with last night’s performance at New York’s Gramercy Theater. The show was the last in a string of four shows the band played at small clubs around the city, and were a far cry from the group’s appearance at the mammoth Bamboozle festival earlier this month, where they played before a literal cast of thousands. And so ended the emo boys’ North American tour. The band’s l

Devo Hint at New Album’s Sound, Debut Songs During SXSW Set

Photograph by Brian Birzer A much-hyped show at Austin Music Hall was the second performance from recently reinvigorated new-wavers Devo since plans to release their first studio album in 19 years. A band that built their career on questioning traditions — musical, social and otherwise — Devo refused to lure in the crowd with familiar fare, instead opening with a slew of brand new songs and lesser-known hits. The three new songs — “Don’t Shoot, I’m A Man,” “Fresh” and “What We Do” — hinted at what the new Devo album might sound like: heavy robo-guitars, very limited modern synths and pulsing beats that are more machine-man than man-machine; especially since drummer Josh Freese gives everything the unique heft he lends to bands like A Perfect Circle and Nine Inch Nails. (For more photos of Devo and other SXSW performers, check out our gallery.) Devo’s stiff movements and matching jumpsuits have always scoffed the idea of “stage presence,” but the visuals for this show mocked it. Using tiny cameras posted everywhere and a giant LCD display the size of a movie screen, Devo rebroadcasted themselves 30 feet high in the most unflattering angles possible. Microphone cameras shot directly up their noses, cameras pointing upwards from the floor made them look chubby and distorted. Thought as one concession to stardom, the band still performed their crossover smash, “Whip It” #8212; albeit buried in the middle of the set. The presence of “Whip It” inspired Mark Mothersbaugh to toss of a few of their trademark red “energy dome” hats into to the crowd — each of which, through some feat of physics involved in their ziggurat shape, flew incredibly far. Set List: “Don’t Shoot, I’m A Man” (new song) “Peek-A-Boo” “What We Do” (new song) “Going Under” “Fresh” (new song) “That’s Good” “Girl U Want” “Whip It” “Secret Agent Man” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” “Uncontrollable Urge” “Mongoloid” “Smart Patrol”/”Mr. DNA” “Gates Of Steel” Encore: “Devo Corporate Anthem” “Freedom Of Choice”
