Interview tonight, live stream last night
In an effort to boost their ratings, CNN’s Piers Morgan will have legendary shredder Slash on his talk show. Tune in tonight to CNN to catch Slash talking about his new album and his less-than-humble beginnings. Slash’s new solo album dropped in stores this week and to celebrate the release of the album, singer Miles Kennedy and the Conspirators joined Slash on stage for a show in New York that was streamed online. Pro-shot video of the concert is now available to view through Livestream.
Metallica in 3D

Eclectic festival
Pearl Jam will be headlining an eclectic festival organized by Jay-Z. The two-day festival in Philadelphia is this Labor Day and will feature Jay-Z and Pearl Jam as the headliners. There’s a slew of other artists from across the music spectrum set to take the stage.
Iommi feels good
An update on Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi’s health—he says that he feels the first live show played after undergoing treatment for lymphoma went well. Iommi wasn’t sure at first if he could play a long set but he says it wasn’t a problem because there wasn’t a chance for him to feel tired. The show was last weekend in Birmingham, England.
