• Deer Tick Cover 'Meet the Beatles!' in Its Entirety at Brooklyn Bowl with Taylor Goldsmith and Tommy Stinson [WATCH]

They used the midpoint of their Brooklyn Bowl residency to pay homage to The Beatles by playing the group's second record, "Meet the Beatles!," with the help of Tommy Stinson of The Replacements, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes and James Felice of The Felice Brothers."Rolling Stone" reviewed the gig, which had John McCauley screaming on classics like "It Won't Be Long" and "Till There Was You." Goldsmith joined in on "Don't Bother Me," Felice busted out the accordion on "Little Child," and Stinson hit the stage for what had to be a rowdy version of "I Wanna Be Your Man."

  • Grammys 2015: AC/DC, Madonna and U2 Rumored to Perform at 57th Award Show in February

    The highlight of this year's Grammys might come in the form of older acts. Rumors have surfaced that AC/DC, U2 and Madonna have all been tapped to perform at the awards show Feb. 8. This would make complete sense since those three acts have or are working on new albums: AC/DC with "Rock or Bust," U2 with "Songs of Innocence" and Madonna with "Rebel Heart."Hits Daily Double first reported the rumors — it is the same source that said AC/DC is in the frontrunning to headline Coachella. No other information was given, but considering the diversity of the three and the show's tradition of booking young and seasoned performers, this is looking pretty plausible. AC/DC would certainly liven up the show.Last year, Paul McCartney, Metallica and Daft Punk were just a few of the performers to take the stage at the Grammys. McCartney and Ringo Starr were honored at a separate show highlighting The Beatles's 50th anniversary of playing "The Ed Sullivan Show."U2's "Songs of Innocence" was given away to iTunes users in September. The band partnered with Apple for the surprise release. Bono and the boys released a limited vinyl edition of the album for sale later, making the effort eligible for the Grammys.

    One of Celine Dion's best-known holiday songs was written by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister. Surprised? Dion was, too. Apparently, she did not know Snider penned "The Magic of Christmas Day" until after cutting it for her 1998 album "These Are Special Times.""I heard that she found out years later," Snider told Ultimate Classic Rock, via NME. "And was very confused."How did this Christmas gem emerge from one of rock's most metal dudes?Snider said his wife requested it during "the height of [his] metal headedness." The tune he wrote was well out of his vocal range and ended up in the hands of Dion's camp."The first thing I said was, 'Does she know who wrote it?'" Snider asked engineer Ric Wake. "He said, 'I didn't tell her yet.' And I said, 'Do not tell her Satan wrote a Christmas song!' He said, 'Seriously?' I said, 'Seriously, dude. Just put it on the frigging album.'"
