The Loud Hailer -  the latest classic rock news

Catch up on the latest re-issues, gig news and scandal from the turbulent world of Classic Rock.



Hendrix biopic not happening

A biopic of the late Jimi Hendrix could be blocked by the legendary guitarist's estate.

The film had been slated to start filming in the coming months, starring OutKast's Andre 3000 as the man himself.

But representatives for Experience Hendrix, the company set up the safeguard the legacy of Jimi, have insisted that it can't happen without their involvement and so far, they've not been approached.

However, the company said it had not ruled out a biopic in the future, so it may still happen at some point.



Waters coins it in

Roger Waters' production of The Wall has smashed attendance records with 15 open-air stadium shows in South America playing to over seven hundred and fifty thousand fans.

This is the largest number of stadium shows ever played in South America by an International Artist on one tour - exceeding a record previously held by the Rolling Stones.

The Wall has so far played 150 shows in 27 countries, grossing £135 million.



Wine, women and song

A wine endorsed by rock legends Motorhead has sold a quarter of a million bottles in just two years

The Australian Shiraz has been carefully selected by the hard rock legends and has been described as a wine with a fruity aroma, flavours of vanilla, blackberries, plums, eucalyptus and liquorice.

Motorhead bassist and frontman Lemmy is quoted as saying: "Approach it with caution. Wine is deceptive, anything can happen."



Thundering on!

Fave live act Thunder have announced another festive show on top of the London gig.

The band, who are in hiatus, but come out of retirement at least once a year, have added a date in Manchester on 21 December.

The gig will include two sets, an acoustic and an electric set. The  ticket price will include a CD of highlights of the show.
