September 1, 2010 Music News from the Rock Station, 92-7 WQLZ by Bishop Detroit rot city The forthcoming Kid Rock album will be taking on somewhat of a somber tone. Unlike much of Rock's other material where partying and a trailer-park lifestyle reigns supreme, “Born Free” will focus on the hardships felt by his hometown Detroit. It won't just be about the fall of Detroit, but Rock said the unreleased album will be his “thoughts on the world through the lens of Detroit.” This album is being touted as a “transformational” album and will be a reflection of the times all while still having soul. Rock will bring in a cast of co-stars for the record including Bob Seger, Sheryl Crow, Zac Brown, Trace Adkins, and Chad Smith just to name a few. Expect to see more hype about the album as it is released November 16th. Paul would want a new album The death of Paul Gray won't keep the maniacs from Slipknot down. Drummer Joey Jordison, coming off a new Murder Dolls album and touring with Rob Zombie playing drums, has said there will be another Slipknot album. In the same interview, Jordison proclaimed with the excesses of rock stardom and substance abuse there were many times where his fate could have been the same as Gray's who died several months ago. But with Paul in mind, Jordison, who recently was voted one of the best drummers of all time, said “we're still dealing with the passing of Paul, God rest his soul ... Paul would never want us to not make another Slipknot record.” No word as to when a new Slipknot album would be out as front man Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root are still out with Stone Sour, Jordison with Murder Dolls and Rob Zombie and even DJ Sid has his own album coming out.

Dispelling accusations Over the weekend, Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland debuted a new clothing line in Toronto, Canada. Today, he's defending himself from lip syncing rumors. The dreaded art is usually reserved for pop artists with elaborate choreographed dance sequences. The back tracking accusations against the STP front man came after Weiland pulled a Tyler and fell of a stage in Cincinatti last week without missing a note. A few days following, Weiland addressed the rumors while on stage in Pittsburg. Blaming the rumor mill known as the “interwebs,” Weiland said “We are a rock and roll band, [and] rock and roll bands perform live.” Well, I guess we'll put that one to bed.
