Jon Lord On “Hot Air &::: Wild Speculation”:

Stooges Guitarist Found Dead: Ron Asheton, guitarist with influential rockers The Stooges, has been found dead at the age of 60.

Asheton formed The Stooges along with his brother Scott, school friend Dave Alexander and singer Iggy Pop. Their heavy-duty garage rock was an early prototype for punk rock while they have also been named as influences by a number of hard rock bands over the years. Guns n Roses, The Sex Pistols, Nirvana and The White Stripes have all named The Stooges as great influences.

Asheton appeared on all four Stooges albums, including 2007’s comeback album The Weirdness and was ranked at number 29 in Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time. The Stooges paid tribute to Asheton in a joint statement that said "We are shocked and shaken by the news of Ron's death. He was a great friend, brother, musician, trooper. Irreplaceable. He will be missed.

"For all that knew him behind the facade of Mr Cool &::: Quirky, he was a kind-hearted, genuine, warm person who always believed that people meant well even if they did not.” Cause of death has not yet been established, but early reports suggest that a heart attack may be responsible.

Fish Forced To Take A Break:

In a post on his MySpace page, the Planet Rock presenter revealed that prior to his recent tour a visit to the doctor had revealed a “worrying” patch of “irregular cell growth” on his vocal chords. On doctor’s advice the tour was able to go ahead but as soon as the last show ended in Buxton a few weeks ago Fish headed into hostpial for a biopsy on the cells and he’s currently awaiting the results.

Fish will now be taking time off from music for the foreseeable future, and although he hopes to do some gigs next year it’s possible that we may not see him on stage until 2010.

“In all honesty I am 50 year old, I smoke(d), drink, have a "colourful" history, have sung nearly 1700 gigs in 27 years and have conducted probably three times as many interviews. It's like standing on the M1 and expecting not to be hit by a car,” he says in his blog.

“I am taking at least 6 months off from singing. I'd like to think that I can play
ome festivals in the summer of 2009 but there will be no arranged tours until 2010. I don't plan to even contemplate a new album until the end of next year. It all depends on what happens in the coming weeks. There are no set plans for any musical activity at the moment or in the near future.

“Either way I intend to get to work on that elusive novel and start studying and writing screenplays. My acting career I would like to reopen and I definitely want to spend a lot more time at home.

“There are bundles of unwrapped cunning plans. It's a bit scary as I haven't had a "blank" year for as long as I can remember and the prospect of being "unemployed" is quite weird! It's an exhilarating time and not since I left my forestry career behind in 1980 have I found myself in such an exciting and frightening position in my life.”

Get well soon, Fish.

South Of Scotland MSP Christine Grahame has put forward a motion entitled AC/DC We Salute You which aims to acknowledge the band’s Scottish roots and their continuing success and influence across the world.

So what was I expecting? Well, after hearing countless leaked tracks over the last ten years I just hoped the production had improved and the majority of the dross I had heard hadn't made the final cut. I was relieved to both counts.

Not sure why I was suprised really, after all Axl Rose has always had a good turn of lyric and a great ear for melody which has been at the surface of all the previous GNR albums.

It’s all too easy to say "It's not Guns N' Roses." Or, "Slash would’ve played that better". Well he may well have played it better but he didn’t and isn’t likely too so move past it.

When all is said and done the album is finally out there and people can now stop talking about it in a mythical way.

As I said earlier, its b no means a classic but it is a strong rock album and believe you me there are many a young rock band ...

Whitney Hoston has had more than her fair share of issues over the last few years and last time out looked ravagged by drink and drugs. Now, if she has managed to do a full 360 and come out fighting looking like she does on the cover of her new album, then fair play to the woman.

Raysgigs.com reports that at a sw**ky event at Claridges last night Rod revealed the information, saying that the band will be meeting up as soon as next week to start preparing.

According to Raysgigs.com “This Monday Rod is meeting up with Ronnie Wood and the others in the studio for their first rehearsal. Just to check if they can remember the songs. They will use Rod's current tour bass player as Ronnie Lane has sadly passed away.”

The much touted reunion has been fuelling the rumour mill for several years, and this year both Ronnie Wood and Ian McClagan have spoken about the likelihood that the band would reunite at some point in 2009.

Providing the rehearsals go as planned, a world tour in 2009 is likely – and will be sure to generate a huge amount of interest, with many fans feeling that The Faces ended prematurely in 1975 when Ronnie Wood joined the Stones.

Hendrix's drummer Mitchell dies: ::: Mitch Mitchell, the British drummer in the seminal 1960s band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, has been found dead in his US hotel room, authorities say.

Mitchell drummed for Hendrix at his legendary Woodstock performance
He performed on Hendrix classics such as Are You Experienced? Electric Ladyland and Axis: Bold As Love.
The top session drummer also played with the likes of Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Keith Richards and Muddy Waters. A musical pioneer, he is credited with helping to develop a "fusion" drumming style that combined rock with jazz.

After he had collected the award for Cream’s Classic Album Classic Rock Magazine’s Dave Ling caught up with the legendary bassist for a quick interview.

After being asked about any more Cream reunions here’s what happened:

Dave Ling: It’s good news that there might be more from Cream.

DL: That’s a bold opinion.

DL: To be fair, they’re different kinds of player, aren’t they?
