Randy Bachman hopes that recent legal actions against the current version of the Guess Who will help other key members who’ve lost control of their original groups.

They combined to co-write many of the Guess Who’s best-known songs, including the Top 10 hits “These Eyes,” “No Time” and “American Woman.” Bachman left in 1970 to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive and then the Guess Who split in 1975. Cummings joined Bachman in a handful of Guess Who reunions but the group eventually moved forward on a permanent basis without them...

Scorpions singer Klaus Meine lost his voice at a very crucial time in the band’s career – but luckily the group got a helping hand from a future fellow rock star. As the German rockers were heading into the studio to record the follow-up to 1980’s Animal Magnetism, they were poised for a long-awaited breakthrough in America. Unfortunately, the decade of hard work which had gotten them to that crucial point had also taken a big toll on Meine’s voice. “I think the heavy touring and studio schedule finally got me,” he told Noisecreep. “My voice was in bad shape. I couldn’t sing and I thought my c...

Since launching in 1991, Lollapalooza has established itself as one of the preeminent music festivals in the world. It was Perry Farrell, the Jane’s Addiction frontman and an influential leader in the alt rock movement, who envisioned an event where talented artists from “fringe” genres – alternative, rap, punk, industrial, electronic, pretty much anything except pop or country – could assemble and perform. Everyone would be welcomed – in fact, the more of a “weirdo” or “freak” you were, the more you would be embraced. “I thought about all the amazing, wonderful people that I would bring toget...
