How Brian Wilson’s Band Might Tour Again Without Brian Wilson
Could the Brian Wilson Band return without its namesake? Fellow Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine, a long-time solo touring partner, is considering dates. "Brian has agreed to allow me to use the name of his band to resurrect that incredible Brian band that we worked with so wonderfully for the last 20 or 30 years," Jardine tells Rolling Stone. "I'm looking forward to meeting up with him shortly and working out a schedule to do a couple of benefit concerts that we can do in L.A., and then maybe kick off an actual tour from there maybe early next year."

Is Bad Posture Keeping REO Speedwagon’s Bruce Hall Off the Road?

Missouri Detectives May Have Just Solved a 35 Year Old Cold Case
For the first time in 35 years, there are now charges which have been filed against a suspect in connection with a cold case that had gone unsolved for decades in Missouri. The Missouri State Highway Patrol just issued a press release today detailing how a 35-year-old cold case now has a suspect. The mystery began on October 14, 1989, when Jimmie Wade Martin was found mortally wounded in Bonne Terre, Missouri. He died later at a hospital in Farmington, Missouri and his death has remained unsolved for the past few decades.
Iron Maiden and Styx Among Leaders in Current Rock Hall Fan Vote
If the fans who are visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame get their way, Iron Maiden, Styx and Motley Crue will soon have their own plaques at the Cleveland-based museum. Future Rock Legends posted a shot of the recent standings in the museum's "Voice Your Choice" voting kiosk, where visitors are allowed to choose who they think should be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. Despite (or perhaps because of) singer Bruce Dickinson's vow to turn down an induction - his exact words were "they won't bloody be having my corpse in there" - Iron Maiden is solidly in the lead so far this year.
David Gilmour, ‘Luck and Strange': Album Review
The previous two albums released by David Gilmour - the 2015 solo record Rattle That Lock and Pink Floyd's The Endless River, out a year earlier - double as snapshots of the time. Both conceived after the death of original Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright in 2008 (though The Endless River was made up of leftovers from the last Pink Floyd album Wright performed on, 1994's The Division Bell), the LPs serve as double bookends to an era the singer and guitarist was ready to close.
Gene Simmons Takes the Blame for Kiss’ Worst Album
In a recent interview, Gene Simmons not only quickly identified Kiss' worst studio album but also took full blame for its creation. His choice, 1981's Music From 'The Elder,' will come as little surprise to the band's fans. Originally intended as a back-to-basics hard rock album that would undo the fan base damage caused by the disco and pop flirtations of 1979's Dynasty and 1980's Unmasked, The Elder instead transformed into an extremely ill-fated attempt at earning critical acclaim with a high-minded, medieval times-themed concept album.

Huge House Cat or Black Mountain Lion in Southeastern Missouri?
It's probably just a large black house cat, right? That's what I've been telling myself after I came across a video of some large feline that was spotted in southeastern Missouri. Some believe this could be an elusive large predator. Before I share my own viewpoint, watch this video shared...

Who Are the ‘Big 4′ of Prog Rock?
Did King Crimson invent progressive rock? Were Yes and Genesis principally responsible for creating its accepted formulations – all while furiously pushing its boundaries? Did Rush's forays into synth-driven modernity open the door for similar transformations by Yes, Genesis and a host of others?. Deciding who the "Big 4"...
How Bush Conquered Failure and Found Success With ‘Sixteen Stone’

F1 Arcade Opening 30 More US Places and Illinois Could Be Next

The F1 Arcade is a combination champagne bar, restaurant and simulator center and there's already one United States location and a report says 30 more are to come and there's good reason to believe Illinois could be next.

Two different nuclear command-and-control planes were spotted over the state and one seemed obsessed with the southwestern part of Missouri.

Missouri Shook in August – See Last 31 Days of New Madrid Quakes
It's hard to judge the status of what's happening in southern Missouri along the New Madrid Fault by looking at just one day. That's why when a new month starts that I like to take a look back at the past month of seismic activity and Missouri sure was shaking a lot in August.
