Sebastian Bach Shares Video For New Single '(Hold On) To The Dream'

Sebastian Bach Shares Video For New Single '(Hold On) To The Dream'

Former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach recently released a video for "(Hold On) To The Dream," the latest song from his upcoming solo album, Child Within Man.

Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera directed the visual for the track.

"If someone asked me to play the heaviest song I have ever recorded, in my 35-year career, I would play them '(Hold On) To The Dream,'" Bach said.

"This song is an homage to two of my favorite things: classic metal of the '70s and also yacht rock as well! Hence the new term yacht metal! I have never heard a song quite like '(Hold On) To The Dream' where the crushing verse is combined with the luxurious chest-hair harmonies of the chorus," he added. "I have tried to incorporate every tone of my voice into this song. For those of you keeping score, I can tell you that my voice hits some of the highest notes of my career in '(Hold On) To The Dream!' Hold on to your seats! Caution: this is a monster jam!"

Child Within Man is due out on May 10th via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Smashing Pumpkins have named Kiki Wong as their new guitarist after an extensive search.

After longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder bid good bye in October 2023, the rock band started the recruitment process, with frontman Billy Corgan calling for applications for replacement.

From more than 10,000 applications received, Corgan filtered down to a shortlist. On the basis of audition of candidates in Los Angeles, he finally picked Wong.

The veteran guitarist has shared stages with acts like Bebe Rexha, Taylor Swift, Usher, Bret Michaels, as well as with rock bands Nylon Pink, Hellfire Heart, and currently Vigil of War.

"I was a fan of Kiki's before she submitted her name to be considered - and it's great that someone of her acumen will be part of our touring family. I can't wait to hit the road with Kiki as part of our mad circus. It's definitely an exciting moment for The Smashing Pumpkins to be this busy with touring in 2024. We'll see you all this summer," Corgan said in a statement.

Wong said she is "beyond honored and humbled to be chosen to perform alongside some of rock's greatest and most influential musicians of all time."

The new Smashing Pumpkins lineup, featuring Wong, Corgan, guitarist James Iha, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, touring members Jack Bates (bass) and Katie Cole (guitar, keys, vocals), is scheduled to make its debut with a U.K. and European Tour beginning at Utilita Arena in Birmingham on June 7.

Twenty One Pilots Delay Release Of New Album 'Clancy'

Twenty One Pilots Delay Release Of New Album 'Clancy'

Twenty One Pilots have announced they are delaying the release of their new record Clancy, as they plan to make music videos for every track on the album.

The duo had originally planned to release the 13-track record on May 17 via Fueled By Ramen.

A video posted to Tyler Joseph's social media account says the release data has been moved to May 24.

"When I first told Josh and Mark and everyone on our team that I wanted to do a music video for every song on the album 'Clancy' that's coming out, I told them it's because I love these songs and I believe in them enough to pretend to sing in front of a camera for each one," Joseph said.

He added, "But in order to accomplish that, we need a little bit more time, that's why I'm making this video. We're going to push the album back by one week to May 24. Isn't that exciting! Just a little more time."

The duo first announced their intention to record visuals for every track on the record back in March. Joseph revealed at the time that they had already completed work on eight of the music video, with seven more in the pipeline. The musician confirmed that the two extra videos come from them re-shooting one that was already finished and that one of the songs will have "two versions".

Clancy, which marks the sixth LP from the Columbus duo, is a follow up to their 2021 record Scaled and Icy.

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour Announces New Solo Album 'Luck And Strange'

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour Announces New Solo Album 'Luck And Strange'

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour has announced that his new album, Luck and Strange, will be released on September 6 on Sony Music.

Luck and Strange was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour's first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by Gilmour and Charlie Andrew.

Of this new working relationship, Gilmour says, "We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, 'Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?' and 'Do they all fade out? Can't some of them just end?'"

"He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine," the Pink Floyd guitarist added. "He's very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you".

The majority of the album's lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour's co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years.

Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on Luck and Strange, "It's written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant."

Gilmour elaborates, "We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things."

Samson also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, saying, "He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who's playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason".

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers' "Between Two Points" and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt and Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry and Roger Eno on keyboards, with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright.

Luck and Strange is available in LP, CD, Blu-Ray & Digital For Pre-Order at https://davidgilmour.lnk.to/LuckandStrange

Gilmour also shared the track "The Piper's Call" from the upcoming album.

Dave Grohl Teams Up With Anthrax Members On Bad Brains Cover

Dave Grohl Teams Up With Anthrax Members On Bad Brains Cover

Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl has teamed up with Anthrax members Charlie Benante and Scott Ian for a cover of the Bad Brains song "The Regulator."

The single was released on Record Store Day, April 20th, as a vinyl release. The seven-inch single, limited to 6,000 copies, comes complete with cover art by Benante.

Upon the initial announcement of the single, Ian revealed the story behind the collaboration, saying, "Anthrax were recording our new album at [Grohl's] 606 [studio] and the Foo's were there rehearsing at the same time. Dave had popped into the studio to hang and listen to what we were doing and we'd gone over to hear the Foo's rehearse. I texted Dave the next morning and said: 'Hey! Good to see ya the other day. Are you rehearsing today? I'll be there doing guitars. Wanna record a Minor Threat song? Bad Brains?' He replied immediately with the Spotify link for 'The Regulator.' I said I'd be there at 12:30pm and he said, 'See you at 1.' It was that simple."

He continued, "We recorded at 606. Charlie and I asked Dave if he'd play drums and sing as well, he was in. Charlie plays bass and I'm on guitar. Charlie did the badass art for the cover. GBI!"

Proceeds from the single benefit legendary Bad Brains singer H.R., who is suffering from SUNCT Syndrome, which causes cycles of intense headaches that make it impossible for him to perform.

Green Day's 'Dilemma' Reaches No. 1 On Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart

Green Day's 'Dilemma' Reaches No. 1 On Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart

Green Day's "Dilemma" has reached No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart dated April 27, marking the rock band's ninth chart topper.

"Dilemma," a song from Green Day's fourteenth studio album Saviors, was released in December. The single has been described musically as punk rock and pop-punk.

Green Day co-founder and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said "Dilemma" was "one of those songs that was kind of easy to write because it was so personal to me. We've seen so many of our peers struggle with addiction and mental illness. This song is all about the pain that comes from those experiences."

The song also remains at No. 1 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart for a fourth week and retained its second rank on the Alternative Airplay chart.

Staind Share New Version Of 'Better Days' Featuring Dorothy

Staind recently shared a new version of their song "Better Days' featuring Dorothy.

The original version of the track appears on the multi-platinum-selling rock band's album, Confessions of the Fallen, released in September 2023.

Dorothy Martin, the lead singer of the band Dorothy, performs the new version of the song with Staind lead singer and rhythm guitarist Aaron Lewis.

Speaking about the collaboration with Dorothy, Lewis said it was a departure for him.

"It's really the first time Staind explored a feature with a female guest vocalist. Once we started tracking I could tell the synergy was there," he said. "We didn't have to pick harmonies, we didn't have to analyze parts, they just happened. I'm stoked to have Dorothy on this single with me. Her talent and voice are incredible."

According to Dorothy, she had "a great time tracking 'Better Days.'"

"It's a beautiful song and I hope fans connect with it," she added. "I'm so grateful to Aaron for the opportunity."

"Lowest In Me," another track from the album, topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.

New 'Behind The Music' Episodes To Profile Bell Biv DeVoe, Trace Adkins & Wolfgang Van Halen

New 'Behind The Music' Episodes To Profile Bell Biv DeVoe, Trace Adkins & Wolfgang Van Halen

Paramount+ has announced new episodes of the groundbreaking docuseries '"Behind The Music" will premiere exclusively on the service in the U.S. and Canada on May 1 and in the U.K., Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria on May 2.

The new episodes profile Bell Biv DeVoe, Trace Adkins and Wolfgang Van Halen, while remastered episodes feature 50 Cent, Bobby Brown, Ice-T, Milli Vanilli, The Notorious B.I.G. and Sinead O'Connor.

Official loglines for new episodes are as follows:

When New Edition dissolved in the late '80s, Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins were counted out by critics and record executives. However, they defied expectations and became a multi-platinum group with their album Poison. The trio created some of the greatest party anthems of the 1990s, but infighting, financial pitfalls, addiction and mental health struggles almost led to the group's demise. Four decades later, Bell Biv DeVoe still is performing for multiple generations of adoring global fans.

Despite a near-fatal shooting, Trace Adkins worked his way to the top of the country music charts with his platinum-selling debut album Dreamin' Out Loud. But a sophomore slump and a struggle with alcoholism nearly destroyed his career. With help from family, musicians and mentors alike, Trace pushed forward with even more hits, a flourishing acting career and a new lease on life. Wolfgang Van Halen reveals his story that's wrought with trauma, perseverance and immense talent. Born to guitar god Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli, Wolfgang instantly became bound to music. As he developed his own sound, Wolfgang turned to his solo project, Mammoth WVH, before tragedy struck. Eddie's death rocked his son's world, but Wolfgang solidified his music career with a sound all of his own while continuing to honor his father's legacy.

These artists join the star-studded lineup of original "Behind The Music" episodes on Paramount+, featuring Boy George, Bret Michaels, Busta Rhymes, Duran Duran, Jennifer Lopez, LL Cool J, New Kids on the Block, Remy Ma and Ricky Martin.

The docuseries is executive produced by Bruce Gillmer and Michael Maniaci for MTV Entertainment Studios.

Pearl Jam Share 'Wreckage' From New Album 'Dark Matter'

Pearl Jam Share 'Wreckage' From New Album 'Dark Matter'

Pearl Jam recently released "Wreckage," the latest song from their new album Dark Matter.

Dark Matter, Pearl Jam's 12th studio album, dropped on Friday, April 19th via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records. Dark Matter marks the band's first release since critically acclaimed Gigaton in 2020.

"That one probably has the biggest build for me personally, in terms of hearing it at first and thinking, it's kind of an Ed song," Stone Gossard shares. "I wasn't quite aware of its potency until later. Andrew [Watt] encouraged me to play this little harmonic, acoustic part almost like a Cure melody. I've been playing along with the song to relearn it and I'm really looking forward to playing it live. It's a really powerful lyric and I think we did a really great job of taking something and really pushing it to its limit."

"['Wreckage'] started with the riff and everyone kind of formulating sections together," adds producer Andrew Watt. "That song just came to Ed right away. Within the first couple takes before the music was even right, his vocals were right. His melodies and words are so strong in that song. Once the initial spark was there and there were a few sections, it was just really about following him."

The band also celebrated indie record stores with the release of a special edition of the project on April 20th for Record Store Day.

Blink-182's Tom DeLonge Unveils Signature Fender Starcaster

Blink-182's Tom DeLonge Unveils Signature Fender Starcaster

Blink-182 guitarist and co-lead vocalist Tom DeLonge has unveiled a new signature Starcaster guitar by Fender.

This one-of-a-kind Starcaster has many changes to the original, released in the 1970s. It features an offset semi-hollow body, "C" neck shape, 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard and DeLonge's logo on the neckplate.

DeLonge's first public performance with the guitar was on display during Blink-182's current global tour in support of the album, One More Time.

He shared its video on Instagram.

"I love this guitar, I really do. It's the coolest guitar ever made. Firstly, it is called a Starcaster-that's the most important thing. It goes to space and expands your mind," DeLonge said in a statement.

He added, "I've streamlined the electronics, added the '70s headstock to round out the weight, and chose the matte finish with black hardware, so its look matches its modern feel. This guitar shows my evolution as a player but also has the hallmarks of where I came from and what I'm about."

Courtney Love Slams Taylor Swift As 'Not Important,' 'Not Interesting As An Artist'

Courtney Love Slams Taylor Swift As 'Not Important,' 'Not Interesting As An Artist'

In a recent interview with The Standard promoting her BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Sounds series, "Courtney Love's Women," Courtney Love slammed Taylor Swift, saying "she's not important" and "not interesting as an artist."

"Taylor is not important," Love said. "She might be a safe space for girls, and she's probably the Madonna of now, but she's not interesting as an artist."

It's not known why Love has a contrarian view about Swift now after having wished her a happy birthday in December 2021 via Facebook. She called Swift an "aspirational huge role model for many young women" at the time. The post also featured a photo of Love and her "occasional hair twin/neighbor."

Courtney also spoke about Lana Del Rey and Madonna during the recent interview with The Standard.

"I haven't liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off," she said. "Up until 'Take Me Home Country Roads' I thought she was great. When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much."

About Madonna, Love said, "I don't like her and she doesn't like me. I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, but for the city of New York as much as her."

"Friendly Fire" is Linkin Park's 10th No. 1, making the band the 12th act to score double-digit No. 1s in the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart's 43-year history. Shinedown leads with 19 chart-toppers.

Willow Shares 'B I G F E E L I N G S' From Upcoming Album 'Empathogen'

Willow recently shared a new single, "b i g f e e l i n g s," from her upcoming album empathogen.

empathogen is set to arrive on May 3 and marks Willow's first studio album in nearly two years, following 2022's Coping Mechanism.

"The piano part of this song is so dense and dissonant but also darkly beautiful," Willow shared in a statement. "I wrote 'b i g f e e l i n g s' during a week where I was coming to terms with my own emotional patterns that I hadn't known were there."

She added, "Musically, it has a darkness and complexity that reflects what we all experience in our own minds. The song is about accepting those intense feelings that you have no idea what to do with."

The new single follows the release of "symptom of life" in March.

empathogen Tracklist:

"Home (feat. Jon Batiste)""Ancient Girl""Symptom of Life""The Fear Is Not Real""False Self""Pain For Fun (feat. St. Vincent)""No Words 1 & 2""Down""Run!""Between I and She""I Know That Face""B I G F E E L I N G S"

"It was also one of the songs that I was trying to figure out who would be the right vocalist for it, and one of the ideas I had was Chris Stapleton, who is one of the most brilliant singer-songwriters today. He's also got such a gritty and distinctive voice, so I called him up and he did an amazing job. I mean, his voice is so cool."

U2 Sarajevo Concert Documentary 'Kiss The Future' To Premiere On Paramount+

U2 Sarajevo Concert Documentary 'Kiss The Future' To Premiere On Paramount+

Kiss The Future, a documentary based on U2's 1997 concert in Sarajevo, will premiere on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada on May 7.

The documentary, featuring interviews with U2's Bono, the Edge and Adam Clayton as well as Christine Amanpour and Bill Clinton tells a story of defiance amid the 1990s' siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War.

The story follows the band's promise to an American aid worker Bill Carter to perform a post-war concert, which came to fruition when they played to 45,000 local fans in a liberated city, a show that lives on as a joyous collective memory for the people of Sarajevo.

The film "documents how through superhuman acts of courage and creativity, the people of Sarajevo kept going while their city was under siege during the bloody Balkan civil war of the early 1990s," says the Edge. "Their story of defiance and resistance against extreme nationalism couldn't be more relevant to today. To have been even a small part of this amazing story is a huge privilege."

Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon for Artists Equity and Sarah Anthony, the film is directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain and written by Bill S. Carter and Cicin-Sain, based on Carter's memoir, "Fools Rush In."

Kiss The Future made its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and opened the Tribeca Festival in 2023.

Gibson Unveil Reproduction Of Slash's 'Jessica' Les Paul

Gibson Unveil Reproduction Of Slash's 'Jessica' Les Paul

Slash and Gibson have collaborated on a new signature model guitar: the "Jessica" Les Paul Standard.

"Jessica" has been Slash's main stage guitar since 1988 and has been used primarily to perform songs from Guns N' Roses' debut album Appetite for Destruction. It has remained his go-to instrument for live performances ever since he retired his Kris Derrig and Max Baranet LP replicas in the late '80s.

Slash first acquired Jessica around 1988. The guitar was one of two factory seconds with three-piece tops that Gibson sent Slash. Originally, the guitar came fitted with a bright Cherry Sunburst, though it was later re-finished with a slightly more subtle Honey Burst.

The new model features a three-piece plain maple top on a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage neck profile. "Jessica" is powered by a pair of Custom Burstbucker pickups with Alnico 2 magnets that are hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors.

"This guitar has been with me since 1988," Slash said in a press release. "It's faded, I f---ing dropped a cigarette on it . I named it when I was drunk, but I don't remember what the catalyst for that was!"

The "Jessica" signature model retails for $3,199 and is available via Gibson's website.
