SHINEDOWN frontman Brent Smith and guitarist Zach Myers will release their fan-powered covers ten-track album as a six-track EP after they failed to secure release permission from every artist they’d originally included.

Fans had chosen the list of songs to be recorded acoustically – but Myers last month confirmed that Bon Jovi were amongst those unhappy with the project, and wouldn’t let them use a cover of Wanted Dead Or Alive.

The plan was for each song to be accompanied by a video – and Smith says that’s where problems arose. He explains: “Some of the artists were cool with letting us put them up on YouTube and show the video of the song being records. Some weren’t cool with the video, and that’s totally their decision.

“The first six were approved and good to go, and you could show the video with it and everything else, so those are the first six that we’re going to release.”

Along with the Bon Jovi song, Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight, Pearl Jam’s Black and Adele’s Someone Like You won’t appear. The pair still hope those covers can be released in audio only over the coming months.

In another change of plan, the digital Acoustic Sessions EP will be launched on January 28 as a Smith & Myers title instead of a Shinedown one. Hear their take on Clash classic London Calling below.

Tracklist

01. London Calling (The Clash)
02. Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay (Otis Redding)
03. Nothing Else Matters (Metallica)
04. She Talks To Angels (Black Crowes)
05. Blue On Black (Kenny Wayne Shepard)
06. Runaway Train (Soul Asylum)

Members of MEGADETH, SHINEDOWN, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, TRIVIUM, LAMB OF GOD and DEVILDRIVER spoke at this year’s Download festival about the recent Roadrunner Records “restructuring” under parent label Warner Music Group, which resulted in roughly 36 staff members worldwide being let go and several regional offices being closed (including the office in the U.K.). Check out what they had to say below. Also available is footage of the U.K. staff of Roadrunner Records being presented with the Inspiration award at this year’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards on June 11 at Indigo2 in London, England.

In the U.S., Roadrunner is continuing to operate as a standalone frontline label, although 16 staffers in the States have lost their jobs, according to Billboard.biz. In addition, Roadrunner Records founder/CEO Cees Wessels left the label 17 months after the completion of its sale to the Warner Music Group.

Initially founded in the Netherlands in 1980, Roadrunner Records earned its place as one of the most prominent international independent record labels. The Roadrunner catalog boasts early releases from such seminal artists as KING DIAMOND, TYPE O NEGATIVE, SEPULTURA and ANNIHILATOR. More recently, the label has experienced unprecedented success with multi-platinum artists NICKELBACK and SLIPKNOT, gold-certified STONE SOUR and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, as well as modern heavy hitters TRIVIUM and MACHINE HEAD.
