LITA FORD STREAMS NEW SONG FROM “TIME CAPSULE”

American vocalist/guitarist Lita Ford is set to release her latest album Time Capsule on Steamhammer/SPV on April 15th. The very special and unusual recording turns back the clock to a time when honest, down-to-earth rock music was still handmade and recorded without digital tricks and contraptions. Time Capsule is a ”throwback” record that boasts identifiable voices and brilliant players jamming without any planning or pressure. Some of the album`s highlights: Billy Sheehan (bass), Rodger Carter (drums), Dave Navarro (mandolin), Jeff Scott Soto (vocals), Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander (backing vocals) and Gene Simmons (bass).

Lita debuts the first song from Time Capsule entitled Killing Kind and is available together with an interview on the homepage of the prestigious Wall Street Journal. The song features Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, The Winery Dogs) on bass and backing vocals are supplied by Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick). Listen to it here.

Time Capsule contains ten songs plus intro and will be available as a digipak, a blue LP version, and as a download.

4/1: GUNS N’ ROSES MANIA IS UPON US

Guns N’ Roses mania is now in full swing! The club show tonight at The Troubador kicks it all off. Finally all the questions and rumors should be answered. As I’ve said all along I believe the lineup will be the last version of GnR with Slash in for the departed Ashba and Bumble, and of course Duff on bass who subbed for Tommy Stinson toward the end of the last Guns tour. This entire thing has been built around Slash, Duff and Axl. That is the only thing being sold and promised and for most that is plenty good enough. Yes some will grumble about no Izzy (who already said he’s out) and maybe no Adler (not sure but likely out, we will know tonight), but those are the same people that grumble about no Michael Anthony or Bill Ward but still go see Sabbath and VH. I also always would like the original guys, but the fact is every band knows who the key guys that draw and the mainstream knows are. That moves the needle, that rakes in the bucks, and with Guns it’s clearly Slash and Duff.

Now Guns has announced the dates and cities for a US stadium tour. Did anyone really think they would go through all of this and not tour? The way they have done all of this is very smart and kind of old school. Info only as needed, let the world speculate, no interviews, then when any news comes at all it’s a major deal. It’s going to be fun to watch and I think it’s good for rock for sure. I also think they will announce some major support acts for these stadium dates probably soon. Make it even more of an event. But they may wait to see how the dates sell to decide what is needed. I’ve known all the guys in GnR past and present for a long time. Some are good friends. I’m glad they were able to pull this off and wish them luck. Like I said, this is all good for our kind of music. It will be fun to watch and see how it all goes no doubt, and it will also be great to finally put an end to all the non stop speculation and see a show actually happen tonight! See you in Vegas next weekend if you are going..

ACE FREHLEY DEBUTS THIN LIZZY COVER, “EMERALD,” FEATURING SLASH

Ace Frehley has debuted a second song today from his forthcoming inspirational covers LP due out later this month. Ultimateclassicrock.com is exclusively debuting Ace’s take on the Thin Lizzy classic “Emerald.” Recently reunited Guns N Roses guitarist Sslah is featured front and center. To listen to the song, click here.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ace Frehley will release Origins Vol. 1, a collection of 12 newly recorded classics from Ace’s formative years featuring some of the biggest names in rock and roll, on April 15, 2016. Most notably, KISS frontman Paul Stanley joins Ace on Free’s hit Fire and Water. This collaboration marks the first time that Ace and Paul appear on the same studio recording since Kiss’ 1998 reunion album Psycho Circus.

Ace spoke with Rolling Stone about the new record, his guest players and recording with Paul after all these years. Rolling Stone writes: Regarding his reunion with Stanley, Frehley shrugs off any residual tension between the two of them. “We’ve always been friends,” he says. “The press seems to amplify negativity. I guess it makes good copy.”

Other guests on the album include Lita Ford singing and playing lead on The Troggs staple Wild Thing, Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 playing guitar alongside Ace as he sings his classic KISS composition Parasite for the very first time, as well as Jimi Hendrix’s Spanish Castle Magic,” and Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready also plays guitar with Ace as he finally sings his KISS mainstay Cold Gin. Also, Ace’s cover of Cream’s White Room is an iTunes instant gratification track, meaning fans who pre order the LP on iTunes will receive the Cream cover song instantly.

MOTORHEAD TO RELEASE LIVE PERFORMANCE “CLEAN YOUR CLOCK” ON MAY 27TH

A Motorhead live package recorded a month before Lemmy’s death will be released in May.

Clean Your Clock was recorded on November 20th and 21st last year during the band’s shows at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, and will be released on May 27th through UDR.

It will be available in colored 2LP gatefold with pop-up art, CD, DVD/CD, Blu-ray/CD and digital formats. A box set containing the 2LP, DVD and CD as well as a metal Motorhead medal has also been produced.

Also, a limited edition version of the box set will also be available, featuring a gold or silver version of the Motorhead medal.

The Munich shows were followed on December 11th by the band’s last ever show, in Berlin. Frontman Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister died of an aggressive form of cancer later that month.

Lemmy had celebrated his 70th birthday on December 24 and learned two days later he had cancer. He died on December 28th at his home in Los Angeles.
