There's never a time when I'm gonna back off from the stage show. I think I can do what I do with good conscience and still do my stage show and stay within my own boundaries, and everybody's gonna walk away going, 'That was the best show I've ever seen.' And still compete with Marilyn Manson, and still compete with Slipknot, and Mudvayne, and all these bands.

Happy Birthday to former-Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, who turns 74 today (January 17th)!!! In June of 1969, Taylor replaced the band's co-founder Brian Jones shortly before his death, and less than a month later, on July 3rd, 1969, he made his live debut with the Stones at a free live concert at London's Hyde Park. Taylor, who had previously played with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, toured extensively with the band until late-1973, and played on the Stones albums Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goat's Head Soup, and It's Only Rock And Roll.

The Stones delighted fans in 2012 by inviting Mick Taylor to join them at all of their official 50th anniversary shows in London and the U.S. to play a show-stealing rendition of 1969's "Midnight Rambler." Taylor remained the featured attraction on the band's subsequent dates through 2014 and often appeared on as many as three numbers each night -- including the show-closing version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

Taylor, who's currently working on his autobiography, recalled that back in the day, like any working band, the Stones were extremely tight -- both on and off the road: ["That whole period was incredibly intense and creative for all of us because it was a new beginning for the band -- and they had signed a new contract with Atlantic Records and we had to, in theory, at least, we had to come up with at least six albums in six years. If we weren't hanging out together or recording, we were touring. I just remember most of the time we were either in the studio, or we were socializing together, or we were on the road."] SOUNDCUE (:29 OC: . . . on the road)

In 1975 Mick Taylor appeared on England's The Old Grey Whistle Test and shed light on his exit from the Stones' camp: ["It had been in the back of my mind for quite a long time. I mean, my role as lead guitarist has always been very satisfying, especially playing live onstage, which is where I feel I make my greatest contribution toward the group. But as my own music started to develop, it became more and more difficult to express myself within the style of the group. And, I mean, it's the style of the Stones that makes them so good.”] SOUNDCUE (:29 OC: . . .  them so good.)

Shortly after beginning his most recent stint in the Rolling Stones, we asked Mick Taylor if he had any apprehensions regarding rejoining the band prior its 50 & Counting Tour: ["Well, I had my doubts before I did the O2 show in London, but I think after I did two shows in London with them -- and a rehearsal -- I was very confident that if they wanted things to continue, they would."] SOUNDCUE (:12 OC: . . . continue they would)

Former Stones bassist Bill Wyman admits that he's still in awe of Mick Taylor's considerable talent: ["Musically, he was a better musician than any of us in the band. Definitely. He was young, he was -- God! Some of the things he did were, I don't know -- amazing. He was incredibly boring on the stage. He'd just stand there and look at his guitar, and do these amazing licks and riffs and solos. God, the audience (would only) see the top of his head all the time. I always thought, y'know, (laughs) he could've been -- but then (laughs) I'm not a good one to talk am I? I don't leap about much. In 30 years with the Stones I probably made three steps on the (laughs) stage."] SOUNDCUE (:36 OC: . . . on the (laughs) stage)

Taylor was responsible for some of the Stones' most famous solos during their early '70s heyday, and was highlighted on Sticky Fingers' seven-plus-minute, Latin-infused workout "Can't You Hear Me Knocking." He has gone on record over the years claiming that he actually co-wrote many Stones songs for which he's never been credited or compensated, including "Moonlight Mile," "Sway," "Winter," "Till The Next Time We Say Goodbye," and "Time Waits For No One," among others.

After leaving the Stones in December 1974 and eventually being replaced by Ron Wood, Taylor briefly teamed up with Jack Bruce, with less than successful results.

Although Taylor continues to tour and record, he's found his greatest success as a sideman, performing on Bob Dylan's Infidels and Empire Burlesque albums, as well as touring with Dylan in 1984

On December 15th, 1981, at the band's Tattoo You tour, Taylor appeared on stage at Kansas City's Kemper Arena and performed nearly the entire show with the band.

The band's Tattoo You album featured "Tops" and "Waiting On A Friend," two Goat's Head Soup outtakes recorded in 1972 in Jamaica, which featured Taylor on guitar.

Taylor remains on good terms with the Rolling Stones, and has frequently sat in with Keith Richards, Ron Wood, and Bill Wyman over the years.

Mick Taylor was on hand in 1989 when the Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2010 he teamed up with Jagger and Richards to add overdubs to the unreleased material on the Exile On Main Street reissue.

American Idol contestant CJ Harris has died. The singer made his mark on country music when he sang with Darius Rucker at the Grand Ole Opry. He had performed his music hero’s hit song, “Alright” during his television appearance.

Following one of his performances, judge Keith Urban told him "You sing because you have to sing, not because you want to sing. That's why it's so believable and real... I just believed it and I felt it." CJ finished sixth place in Season 13 in 2014.

A family member told TMZ that CJ suffered an apparent heart attack Sunday night in his hometown of Jasper, Alabama. He was taken to a local hospital by ambulance where he passed away. He was 31.

According to Page Six, with a source saying "Kim hates her." The source said that Kim suspected that Censori had feelings for Ye. The source explained, "She's pretty. And Kim hates pretty girls." Censori, who has a masters in architecture, has worked at Yeezy for several years.

Once the news broke about Kanye and Bianca's marriage, Kim Kardashian posted and deleted on her Instagram Stories, "I'm in my quiet girl era, I don't have much to say. Just much to do."

Ye and Bianca reportedly tied the knot just two months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized.

BIANCA CENSORI'S FAMILY SPEAKS OUT

Meanwhile, Bianca's family has weighed in on their wedding. According to The Herald Sun, Bianca's sister Angelina Censori said, "It's very exciting news for both my sister and the family, but we choose to have some privacy for the time being".Another relative Alyssia Censori said, "I'm super happy for them both."

Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck died on January 10th at age 78, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

His family issued a statement, which reads: "It is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck's passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss."

Jeff Beck will forever be remembered for his pioneering work in the Yardbirds after replacing Eric Clapton; the Jeff Beck Group -- which originally featured Rod Stewart and Ron Wood; Beck, Bogart & Appice, and on his own.

Jeff Beck's former Yardbirds bandmate Jimmy Page told us a while back that Jeff Beck's influence cannot be overstated: "He's been instrumental in pioneering a whole blueprints that was totally unique to him for everyone else to learn from. I mean, no one's ever equaled what Jeff's done, but he's -- he really shifted the whole sound and face of the electric guitar music, y'know?"

Jeff Beck said on more than one occasion that he'd rather work on his cars than be in the studio. We pressed him as to why his albums seem to be coming out so quickly these days. He said it's a combination of a sense of his own mortality, as well as a realization that his fans want to hear new music from him: "Time's getting on, isn't it? People are dying, and (I) look 'round and go, 'What the hell's going on here,' y'know? And I enjoy playing, and, y'know, there's no real excuse for me not to be doing something. People seem to enjoy what I do."

Out now is Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp's joint album, titled, 18. The pair mixed new originals with covers by the likes of John Lennon, the Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, the Velvet Underground, Killing Joke, the Everly Brothers, and more.

The full tracklisting to U2's new album Songs Of Surrender has been announced. The 40-track collection is based around the concept of Bono's recent memoir and is broken down as a two-record set, with each member being represented by a single side of music.

Songs Of Surrender, which drops on March 17th will be available as a full 40-track digital set; a limited edition 40-track double CD with hardback deluxe book; and a limited edition 40-track four-vinyl collection.

The Edge spoke about Songs Of Surrender in the album's official announcement:

Music allows you to time travel, and we became curious to find out what it would be like to bring our early songs back with us to the present day and give them the benefit, or otherwise, of a 21st century reimagining.

What started out as an experiment quickly developed into a personal obsession as so many of our songs yielded to a new interpretation. Intimacy replaced post punk urgency. New tempos, new keys, and in some cases new chords and new lyrics arrived. A great song, it turns out is kind of indestructible.

The process of selecting which songs to revisit started with a series of demos. I looked at how a song would hang together if all but the bare essential elements were taken away. The other main aim was to find ways to bring intimacy into the songs, as most of them were originally written with live concert performance in mind.

Reviewing these sketch recordings with producer Bob Ezrin, it was very easy to see the ones that worked straight off the bat and those that needed more work. We all got into the sensibility of less is more.

Bono explained that at the end of the day, it's the connection between his music and the listeners that makes it matter: "That is, y'know, (laughs) my drug of choice. That's for me, the thing. I cannot believe you hear this melody line in your head and you, sort of, take it down and you find words for it and arrangement for it -- and the next thing y'know, you can be in a car in Tokyo, and it's on the radio. That's really my, my drug of choice. And songs are everything, really, to us."

Ads for Demi Lovato's Holy Fvck album has been banned in the U.K. for being blasphemous.

After posters of Lovato in full-body bondage laying on a crucifix-shaped bed starting popping up in London, England's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) got involved. According to the publication, The Drum, it was too offensive to Christians and considered inappropriate for children.

The regulator stated that linking sexuality to the sacred Christian symbol as well as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ would cause "serious offense" to members of the religious group.

Humanist U.K. is challenging the ruling, stating that the decision was "unacceptable stifling of the right to freedom of expression."

When the album was released in the U.K. last year, it debuted in the Top 10.

TL;DR:

• Advertising for Demi Lovato's Holy Fvck album has been banned in the U.K. for being blasphemous.
  
  The image in question is Lovato in full-body bondage laying on a crucifix-shaped bed.
• It's considered too offensive to Christians and considered inappropriate for children.

Bob Dylan fans are in for a special treat with the January 27th release Fragments - Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol.17. The new five-CD or 10-LP set includes a newly-remixed version of the Grammy Award winning 1997 Time Out Of Mind album by famed engineer Michael Brauer, accompanied by no less than three other discs of alternate versions, outtakes, live takes, and a bonus disc including previously released material from the critically acclaimed The Bootleg Series Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs: Rare and Unreleased 1989–2006.

Both fans and media alike have always asked Bob Dylan his thoughts on the state of the world and life in general. A while back, during an interview with ABC's 20/20, he tried to sum up some type of philosophy that suited the way he lived: "'Don't know if its's gonna stop or not stop. I don't take anything for granted. You can only do so much, y'know? Who knows what's lurking behind the corner at any time (that) may come up? So, we can have these big plans and dreams, but there's no guarantee that any of it is gonna come off. I just go from day-to-day and keep at it."

On a recent podcast, The Chainsmokers talked about sex and relationships. Member Alex Pall shared a story about a girl he dated that his mom hated.

He said, while he was touring, he started getting texts from his girlfriend that didn't make sense. Out of the blue, she would write things like "You're a f–king a–hole " and would start an argument and then disappear for days, but never tell him why.

Then one day, Pall was sitting at his kitchen table and saw movement out of the corner of his eye. It was a motion-sensor camera intended to watch the dog and dispense treats. He later found out that his girlfriend had connected the camera to spy on him.

She had even blacked out the recording light with a marker and covered it with a piece of electric tape.

When he realized what had been going on for 7 months, he never confronted her, just broke up with her.

In the podcast, The Chainsmokers also talked about sharing a threesome together and sleeping with fans on the road. The stories are in the latest episode of Call Her Daddy.

TL;DR:

It was 66 years ago today (January 12th, 1957) that Elvis Presley recorded "All Shook Up," which went on to become his sixth Number One hit, topping the charts for nine weeks. Elvis recorded the song at Radio Recorders in Hollywood, during a three-day session, which included both gospel recordings and songs eventually featured in his second motion picture, Loving You.

Elvis and his band, which included guitarist Scotty Moore, bassist Bill Black, drummer DJ Fontana, and backing vocalists the Jordanaires, took ten takes to perfect the song. The unique tapping heard on the track is Presley's hand slapping the back of his Martin acoustic guitar, with his ring finger accentuating the beat.

"All Shook Up" went on to be ranked the Number One single of 1957. The tune was featured in "The King's" setlists extensively throughout the '70s -- one of the few of Elvis' '50s hits to make the transition into his Las Vegas-era shows.

Just prior to his 2018 death, DJ Fontana, the last member to join Elvis' original band -- recalled meeting Elvis and the group: "They had worked all through Mississippi and Alabama, they were just gettin' started. And then they come to Shreveport, Louisiana, this hayride down there, y'know? It was a thing, like the Grand Ole Opry is today. They come in and say, 'Hey, we need a drummer' they said, 'You play?" I said, 'Well, yeah, I guess so. That's why I'm here. That's what they hired me for.' I just learned a lesson, they had such a unique sound -- that Sun (Records) thing, y'know? I thought, I'll just stay out of their way, give 'em a little rhythm back with brush and stick and be quiet; so I guess they appreciated that."

Metallica's special November 6th concert Hollywood, Florida's Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has made its way online. The show was a tribute to late-Megaforce Records founder Jon "Jonny Z" Zazula and his wife Marsha Zazula.

The band honored the couple by performing only elections from the band's first two albums released on Megaforce -- 1983's Kill 'Em All and 1984's Ride The Lightning. As a further nod to the band's early champions, Raven -- also originally signed to Megaforce back in the day -- opened the show.

Blabbermouth reported at the time, "Jonny Z died in February at the age of 69. Jonny died of complications of the rare neuropathic disorder chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and osteopenia. Marsha passed away of cancer in January of last year. A portion of the proceeds from this show are being donated in Jonny and Marsha's name to MusiCares, with Metallica's charity All Within My Hands once again supporting Feeding South Florida with a donation following the show."

The modern era of Metallica has marked a far happier time for its bandmembers both on and off the stage. Lars Ulrich recently told us that the group tries to have a good time these days whether its recording or touring: "It's just about, like, having fun and wanting to do it, and as long as everybody gets along, and as long as we come up with s*** that keeps challenging ourselves and is fun to play and it's, like, a good vibe, y'know. . . and then going out and playing, like, 15 nutty shows in Europe in front of, like, a gazillion people, and playing, like, y'know, 'Orion' in its entirety or, you know, 'Disposable Heroes,' it's all fun."

Metallica kicks off its European tour on April 27th at Amsterdam's Johan Cruijff Arena.
