Eddie Cochran’s career has always been more celebrated in the UK than America. The guitar picker who could sing and write was trying to revisit the success he had experienced with hits such as “Summertime Blues” and “C’mon Everybody” when he found he was having better luck in the UK. Just as Buddy Holly had fallen from the top of the charts before his untimely death in February 1959, Eddie Cochran was struggling to land a hit single. He was spending time in the recording studio playing guitar on other people’s sessions and experimenting with different styles of music as a Liberty Records recording artist.

 Steve Van Zandt still looks every bit the rock star.But underneath his purple headscarf, paisley shirt and snakeskin boots, Van Zandt says he still hates being the center of attention.“I’m a bit of a contradiction and paradox,” he says, sheepishly laughing after an interviewer notes the musician-actor-activist might be in the wrong lines of work.Perhaps it should be no surprise that Van Zandt, 73, had to be coaxed into participating in a documentary about his remarkable life and career.

Steven Van Zandt is a rock and roll legend but one who has flown under the radar for decades. You may mostly know him for his hilariously wise and sometimes obtuse "Sopranos" character Silvio Dante who was known on the show for his Michael Corleone impression. Outside of his infamous role, the rocker has made countless contributions to rock and roll, established in HBO's documentary "Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple." Directed by Bill Teck, the film takes audiences through the humble origins of Van Zandt to the heights of his career as a rock and roll star, producer and hitmaker.

Ron Chapman’s "Revival 69: The Concert That Rocked the World" memorializes one of rock ‘n’ roll’s strangest, albeit highly consequential festivals. Two years after Monterey and smackdab in the middle of the Woodstock triumph and Altamont debacle, respectively, Toronto’s Rock ’n’ Roll Revival featured a hodgepodge of old and new acts, ranging from Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis to the Doors, Chicago and Alice Cooper. Even more significantly, the festival featured John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band debut scant days before he would privately announce the Beatles’ disbandment.

In a new interview with Brazil's Marcelo Vieira and Mateus Ribeiro, DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy was asked if he thinks Eloy Casagrande is "the perfect drummer for SLIPKNOT". Portnoy responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I do. Eloy really… Well, actually, no. The perfect drummer for SLIPKNOT would have been [my son] Max Portnoy. [Laughs] But the second-best drummer for SLIPKNOT, behind Max, is definitely Eloy. I mean, he's a perfect fit, a perfect pick. He has so much incredible technique, but beyond technique, he plays with a lot of spirit and balls and personality. And sometimes, for me, that's way more important than technique. But in his case, he has both. He has it all. And I couldn't be happier for him. And I'm also happy for Greyson [Nekrutman] who took his place in SEPULTURA, 'cause he's another favorite modern drummer of mine. So, the kind of triangle between SEPULTURA, SLIPKNOT and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, with [former SLIPKNOT drummer] Jay Weinberg going to SUICIDAL, it's the perfect metal triangle. I think all three of those drummers are tremendous, and they've all Gotten great gigs."
