While speaking with Planet Rock, Anthony said he has no intention of trying to score a writing credit on the album:

"I don't want to do anything. I just let it be," Anthony said. "And, hey, it'll be nice to hear some of those old songs again that I haven't played in a long time."

Newly returned vocalist David Lee Roth also recently spoke on the band's use of old demos telling the Los Angeles Times:

"It's material that Eddie and I generated, literally, in 1975, 1976 and 1977. Usually fellas in our weight division will kind of gamely - or ironically, wink, wink - try to hail back to it [but] keep a safe, mature distance from it."

In a new video circulating the web, Harrison's son Dhani is seen discussing the solo with the Fab Four's longtime producer George Martin and Martin's son Giles. The three are seated around a mixing desk at Abbey Road and Dhani admits he had never heard the solo before.

"It's totally different to anything I've ever heard," Dhani says in the video. Sir George then adds: "I'd forgotten about that."

Dhani and the Martins uncovered the solo amidst a collection of master tapes. According to Spinner.com, the masters also feature a much greater quantity of Moog synthesizer sounds than are present in the final versions.

A new Rolling Stones museum set to open in Lüchow, Germany has found controversy this month after installing a set of urinals in the shape of the band's famed "lips" logo. Some feminists are calling for the removal of the urinals, claiming their shape is inherently feminine and therefore degrading towards women. Though the design's original creator, artist John Pasche, has always maintained that his 1971 design was inspired by Mick Jagger's mouth.

A new Rolling Stones museum set to open in Lüchow, Germany has found controversy this month after installing a set of urinals in the shape of the band's famed "lips" logo.

Some feminists are calling for the removal of the urinals, claiming their shape is inherently feminine and therefore degrading towards women.

Though the design's original creator, artist John Pasche, has always maintained that his 1971 design was inspired by Mick Jagger's mouth, the urinals do not include the tongue. One area feminist says the tongue is the main feature of the design that links it with Jagger and without the tongue, it looks more feminine.

"It's discrimination against women," feminist Roda Armbruster tells Hamburg's NDR network. "It's a woman's mouth, not a man's mouth."

And Marianne Joensson-Olm, a Lüchow-based equal-opportunities officer, says that Armbruster is not alone in her feelings:

"There's been an outcry among the people - about a dozen women have complained to me alone," she adds.

Museum founder Urlich Schroeder remains undeterred, however, telling Die Welt: "It's art. It's staying."

Young announced that he will be releasing a new record with Crazy Horse during his appearance at the Utah Slamdance Film Festival, where he also voiced his concerns over the sound of studio music recording at the moment.

"I'm finding that I have a little bit of trouble with the quality of the sound of music today," he said. "I don't like it. It just makes me angry. Not the quality of the music, but we're in the 21st century and we have the worst sound that we've ever had. It's worse than a 78 [rpm record]."
