Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart cover a lot of ground in their new memoir ‘Kicking & Dreaming,’ which hits stores on Sept. 18. In the book, Nancy talks about moving past the end of her longtime marriage to film director Cameron Crowe , while Ann reveals that she’s been sober now for nearly three years.

When looking at the lineage of ZZ Top, perhaps it’s no big surprise to learn exactly how big of an influence Jeff Beck’s music was on the group, particularly guitarist Billy Gibbons.

Rush may not be burning up a singles chart or have the hot radio jam of the summer, but that’s quite alright with guitarist Alex Lifeson. That’s because he says that their latest disc, ‘Clockwork Angels,’ is meant to be experienced as a full album.

This year the Songwriters Hall Of Fame inducted legendary recording artist Bob Seger on June 14 during their 43rd annual ceremony and awards presentation. The multi-platinum songwriter was humble in accepting, and performed an inspiring version of his 1973 hit ‘Turn The Page’, perhaps his most known tune.

You would have thought Robert Blake jumped out of a "Cookie Monster" costume while speaking with CNN's Piers Morgan on July 11.  I once interviewed "Cookie", and no matter the question asked, the response was always the same.

In the now familiar world of classic rock package tours, Styx have become the masters of the concept, touring nearly every summer with a revised approach that somehow never fails to feel fresh.

And although there’s a definite bond formed through the years of working together, the friendly rivalry between the two still fuels a

The latest in a series of wide-ranging videos at Van Halen‘s official website features the elder band members sitting around a camera talking about old times like three friends sucking down brewskies in the garage. David Lee Roth leads a discussion in which Eddie and Alex Van Halen share how they would rig their stage and electronics to be ahead of their time in the early ’70s.

Mark Evans was only 19 when he joined AC/DC and just 21 when he was fired. But his impact lives on in the band’s music over three decades later, and he’s enjoying life more than ever now.

Ted Nugent responded to the notion that he’s not a moderate during an interview on ‘CBS This Morning’ by, well, flipping out a bit, offering — in off-color language — to perform sexual acts on both the male reporter and a nearby female producer if they could find someone who cares more about people and the planet than he does.

Van Halen has issued the third in their videotaped series of self-interviews, and this episode finds the three current and original members of the group joking and laughing about their early days as well as their ill-fated attempts to accurately cover hit dance songs of the era.
