It's actually the perfect video for it because it's got a lot of depth shots and shots where everything stops, freezes and stuff is moving around it, so the 3D of that will look cool."
The track, which features Wolfmother frontman Andrew Stockdale on vocals, is taken ...

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair says in his new memoir, A Journey, that he thinks U2 frontman Bono would be great in the job. According to Spinner, Blair writes late in the massive book that Bono "could have been a president or prime minister standing on his head.

Vintage Vinyl News reported that after attending a recent concert by Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones' new band Them Crooked Vultures, Plant told the press, "I feel so far away from heavy rock now.
