Nine Inch Nails Unveil New Touring Lineup


Trent Reznor's revamped Nine Inch Nails lost bassist Eric Avery and guitarist Adrian Belew earlier this year. So with the "Tension 2013" tour launching this Saturday in St. Paul, Minnesota, Reznor has unveiled a new lineup. Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Robin Finck, Lisa Fischer, Sharlotte Gibson, Pino Palladino and Ilan Rubin will join the Nine Inch Nails mastermind as he heads out behind his latest album, Hesitation Marks.

Cortini is no stranger to Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, having toured with the band from 2005 to 2008. The keyboardist leads the band SONOIO and also records as blindoldfreak. Fellow keyboardist Eustis is the co-founder of the electronic duo Telefon Tel Aviv and he's also worked with Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan in Puscifer.

The new lineup will also benefit from two veteran vocalists. Fischer, who won a Grammy in the early Nineties with her single "How Can I Ease the Pain," has sung backup for Tina Turner and Luther Vandross. She's also been a regular onstage with the Rolling Stones, recently appearing on their "50 and Counting" anniversary tour. Gibson has served as a backup singer on American Idol and has also sung on the show Duets.

The Beatles released 'Abbey Road' 44 years ago today


"It was a very happy record," said producer George Martin. "I guess it was happy because everybody thought it was going to be the last." Abbey Road – recorded mostly in two months during the summer of 1969 – almost never got made at all. That January, the Beatles were on the verge of a breakup, exhausted and angry with one another after the disastrous sessions for the aborted Get Back LP, later salvaged as Let It Be.

Determined to go out with a sense of recaptured glory, the group reconvened at EMI's Abbey Road Studios to make its most polished album: a collection of superb songs cut with an attention to refined detail, then segued together (especially on Side Two) with conceptual force. There was no thematic link, other than the Beatles' unique genius. John Lennon veered from the stormy metal of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" to the exquisite vocal sunrise of "Because." Paul McCartney was saucy ("Oh! Darling"), silly ("Maxwell's Silver Hammer") and deliciously bitter ("You Never Give Me Your Money").

George Harrison proved his long-secret worth as a composer with "Something" and the folk-pop diamond "Here Comes the Sun," written in his friend Eric Clapton's garden while playing hooky from a business meeting. And Lennon, McCartney and Harrison reputedly sang more three-part harmony here than on any other Beatles album. Let It Be was the group's final release, but this album was its real goodbye.

Stone Temple Pilots Finalize EP With Chester Bennington


Fellow Stone Temple Pilots Robert DeLeo and Chester Bennington, now pulling double duty as frontman for both Linkin Park and STP, sat down with Rolling Stone recently in North Hollywood. Before a revealing hour-long interview, DeLeo brought a reporter his laptop and a pair of headphones to hear the band's forthcoming EP, High Rise.

Featuring five songs, the EP ranges from the straight-ahead hard rock of the lead single "Out of Time" and the planned second single, "Black Heart," to "Cry, Cry," a song written by Bennington, which segues nicely into the EP's closer, the atmospheric long player "Tomorrow."

With legal battles with Scott Weiland ongoing, DeLeo didn't want to say too much about the band's former singer, yet a lot emerged over the course of the interview. "Dean (DeLeo), Eric (Kretz) and I have been saddled by someone for a long time," he said at one point. "We've always looked out for Scott's best interests and tried to be a great friend to someone who really didn't care to be friends with us." That eventually led, he said, to "a very difficult decision."

There is a freedom of collaborating in this day and age, and I'm sure that ties nicely into you guys being able to try something new.
Chester Bennington: I think that this is happening at the right time. From an outsider, this is something I expected was going to happen. For us the transition has been about as smooth creatively as a band as possible. And the fact that we all get along so well, we enjoy each other's company, we have the same work ethic and we're all enjoying what we're doing, it's a trip in a lot of ways. At the same time I have the chance to write songs with two of my favorite songwriters that have ever written, Robert and Dean. Writing songs with these guys, that's something I can check off my list of shit to do.

On the Charts: Avenged Sevenfold Burst Pop's Bubble


In the first week after Labor Day, new albums and singles are starting to arrive that could define the fall shopping season. For the record industry's sake, they better be big – track sales remain down three percent this year, and album sales are down six percent, as they have been all year long.

It's tempting to look at Avenged Sevenfold's Number One debut this week – Hail to the King sold 159,000 copies – and predict some kind of hard-rock comeback. But these days, even high-profile albums by established rock stars such as Linkin Park and the Red Hot Chili Peppers tend to drop significantly after their first week on the charts.

Country albums tend to have slightly more staying power, which is probably good news for Luke Bryan's Crash My Party – although he, too, dropped to Number Two this week, selling 92,000 copies, a decline of 42 percent.

Flashback: The Jackson 5 Reunite in 2001


For a very brief time in the fall of 2001, it seemed like Michael Jackson was on the verge of a comeback. Invincible, his first new album in seven years, was due in stores on October 30th, and to build anticipation he booked a two-night tribute concert at Madison Square Garden. Many of the biggest stars of the day agreed to perform MJ's hits, including Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, 'NSync, Usher, Shaggy, Aaron Carter, 98 Degrees and Mya. Liza Minnelli, Ray Charles, Elizabeth Taylor and even Marlon Brando joined in on the festivities.

The highlight of the show was a reunion of the Jackson 5, though technically this was "The Jacksons" since all six brothers participated. They hadn't performed in public since the Victory tour ended in 1984, though they did record together on the ill-fated 1989 LP 2300 Jackson Street. Despite the long break, the performance was surprisingly smooth. They did a medley of their hits, including "I Want You Back," "ABC, " "Shake Your Body" and "I'll Be There."

The second show was held on September 10th, wrapping up just hours before the first plane struck the World Trade Center. Needless to say, a Michael Jackson tribute concert seemed like just about the least important thing in the world over the new few months. The show did air on CBS in late November to huge ratings, but by that point Invincible was already a clear commercial disappointment – especially by Michael Jackson standards.
