Velvet Revolver have an album’s worth of material ready to release, with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor on vocals. But it’s unlikely ever to come out. Blabbermouth.com reports that drummer Matt Sorum has revealed that the band recorded 10 songs with Taylor. He says “We had 10 songs. We could put the album out tomorrow. It’s done. I wanted to go for it, But Slash wasn’t feeling it. If we’re not all feeling it together, we can’t do it.”

Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has teamed up with ex-Whitsnake/Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes in a new project. The pair have yet to give the band a name. Nor have they announced who’ll be the bassist in what’s likely to be a power trio. One name being mooted is Mr. Big’s Billy Sheehan, but that’s far from confirmed. However, Portnoy and Sykes are currently recording in Los Angeles.

The trailer for Cameron Crowe’s documentary Pearl Jam Twenty was released on Tuesday, hot on the heels of news that it will be premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival this fall. The film — Crowe’s second music documentary effort this year, following The Union – follows Pearl Jam, showing the years leading to its formation, the height of the band’s success and the members’ eventual retreat from the spotlight. The trailer features interviews with musicians including Chris Cornell, the Soundgarden/Audioslave front man, says “American rock bands, they break up, and Pearl Jam actually stayed together.” You can check out a preview of the trailer on our facebook 94X Rock Radio Rules

KISS drummer Eric Singer says the band's new album will be more produced than 2009's Sonic Boom, with a more bombastic drum sound and generally better sonics. In an interview with Mitch Lafon of Bravewords.com, Singer said the band was eight songs into the recording, but at this stage the album doesn't have a title. "This isn't The Elder where we have a theme for the whole record," Singer said. "It's a straight-ahead rock KISS record and I think this stuff is far stronger, better material [than Sonic Boom]. It's more riffy, which makes it more interesting." The drummer likened the approach to the band's classic 1976 album Destroyer. Singer says there are plans for both he and guitarist Tommy Thayer to have a vocal song on the album. "We've never asked to sing a song," the ironically named Singer said. "Paul [Stanley] is the producer and that was his choice and decision. It was him encouraging me to sing."

Chris Cornell says the secret to Soundgarden's success has been their determination never to play the same song twice. The recently reformed band are currently working hard on a brand new studio album and frontman Cornell says the strangest thing about reuniting with his band mates has been how smooth it has been. Talking as the band continue to record material for the new album Cornell said: "We were so inventive as a band that the music, from album to album, was always fresh. "We've always been a band that's tried really hard to never play the same song twice. And that, to me, is our secret
