LOS ANGELES – Legendary KISS guitarist Ace Frehley will release ‘ Behind the Player’ a retrospective DVD chronicling his work as one of the world’s most influential guitar players. The DVD will be released worldwide January 19th, through IMV, Rocket Science Ventures and Sony/RED.

Def Leppard to get Animated, no, not Animalized!

Well, found this one hard to believe myself, but it's posted on Rueters news agency site no less ...?

It seems their recently negotiated new deal with music publishers Primary Wave, has opened another marketing ploy for the band!
It seems a cartoon TV show is on the cards ...
I guess if this is for real, I could've given the headline as, "Def Leppard follows Kiss path shock!"

Foo Fighter and Crooked Vulture man Dave Grohl says more Vulture music planned

Grohl claims that Them Crooked Vultures, his band featuring Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, is a long term project.
The story was posted on the BBC's website this morning:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_10000000/newsid_10003500/10003590.stm

The 'oddly(?)' mixed supergroup released their self-titled debut album in November to much applause from fans and media alike.
He sees no reason why Foo Fighters and Them Crooked Vultures, can't run side by side, as he went on to say, “I wouldn’t want to stop doing it - it’s a fun band to be in.”
Let's see what comes next!

Well, really not too much else floating around today to share, if anything of note comes up today later though, I will share it as a fresh update. :)

One final thing, different area altogether but very tragic news from Hollywood in the death of young actress Brittany Murphy aged just 32.
Another starlet, well, she was already more than that with a long string of movies to her name.
Tragic loss indeed of such a great young talent.
Many news sites have covered it, but here's just one story on the BBC.

Sympathies and thoughts go out to her family.
