Spectrum Road, A New Supergroup Featuring Cream’s Jack Bruce, Gears Up To Release Debut Album and Hit the Road
Jack Bruce knows a thing or two about supergroups. In fact, you could argue that the singer/bassist was a member of rock’s first supergroup, Cream, which also included guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker.
Bruce’s latest band, Spectrum Road, is also packed with star power, and the quartet will release its self-titled debut album June 5 on Palmetto Records.
Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Jack of All Trades,’ Featuring Tom Morello, Hits the Web

Lemmy Kilmister Urges Motorhead Fans Not To Buy Band’s New Retrospective Collection
Packaged in a skull with eyes that light up in red, the new 15-disc Motorhead collection certainly grabs your attention. So does the retail price — and that has prompted frontman Lemmy Kilmister to urge his fans to steer clear of the ‘Complete Early Years Box Set,’ now in stores.
Ryan Adams Pays Tribute to Ronnie James Dio With Kind Words And A Cover Of ‘Holy Diver’ in Concert
After Ronnie James Dio died in May 2010, Judas Priest‘s Rob Halford, Black Sabbath‘s Geezer Butler and other members of the hard rock/heavy metal community were quick to express their appreciation in public for the powerful, pint-size singer.
A belated Dio tribute came from a rather unlikely source on Feb. 17 when alt-country star Ryan Adams busted out a solo acoustic cover of ‘Holy Diver’ during
Matt Sorum Stands Up For Whitney Houston, Criticizes Media For Their Behavior Since Her Death
Velvet Revolver and Guns N’ Roses fans know Matt Sorum is one hard-hitting drummer.

Rolling Stones Jagger & Richards Remember Stage Crasher from ’81 Concert
When you’ve toured as much as the Rolling Stones, it can be really hard to differentiate one show from another. But the band’s gig on Dec. 18, 1981, in Hampton, Virginia — now available as ‘Hampton Coliseum (Live 1981),’ the second official Stones concert bootleg — was certainly memorable for Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.

Ex-Judas Priest Singer Says Band Could’ve Sounded Like AC/DC If He Stuck Around
Before Rob Halford became Judas Priest‘s frontman, Al Atkins held the position in the band’s prefame years. And even though Atkins didn’t sing a note on Priest’s first two albums, 1974′s ‘Rocka Rolla’ and 1976′s ‘Sad Wings of Destiny,’ he made his presence felt as a co-writer of ‘Victim of Changes,’ among other songs.
Had Atkins remained a member of Priest, surely the course of the band’s history
Former Genesis Guitarist Steve Hackett Witnessed Led Zeppelin’s 2007 Reunion Show – As a Roadie
Maybe security didn’t recognize him as someone who had played with one of British rock’s most successful bands. Or maybe a clipboard-holding gatekeeper stopped him cold at the entrance and said in a monotone voice, “Sorry, you’re not on the list.”
Whatever the reason, ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett resorted to an everyman move in December 2007 so he could enter London’s O2 Arena for a special
Slash Announces Release Date for ‘Much More Cohesive’ Second Solo Album
A year ago, Slash was in Texas rocking out with pop stars the Black Eyed Peas and Usher as part of the Super Bowl XLV halftime show.
This past weekend, he was a good 2,000-plus miles away from Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis — and for good reason. The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist was in Los Angeles wrapping up his second solo studio album, which is slated for a May 22 release on Slash’s own Dik
Jason Becker Documentary Schedules World Premiere
At the start of the 1990s, young guitarist Jason Becker was riding high, having joined forces with ex-Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth to record what would become Roth’s third full-length solo album, 1991′s ‘A Little Ain’t Enough.’
