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 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."

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

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.

Chris Stapleton joined Guns 'N' Roses guitarist Slash for a cover version of Fleetwood Mac's 1969 hit "Oh Well." The cover will feature on Slash's upcoming blues album, Orgy of the Damned.

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.

Rush's Alex Lifeson Featured On New Trifecta Track 'Once Around The Sun With You'

Rush's Alex Lifeson Featured On New Trifecta Track 'Once Around The Sun With You'

Rush's Alex Lifeson features on a new Trifecta single, "Once Around the Sun With You."

"Once Around The Sun With You" is the third single from the band's new album The New Normal, which arrived on Friday via Kscope.

"'Once Around the Sun with You' is an anniversary song written for my wife in commemoration of all the years she's put up with me. Need I say more? The Woman is a saint," lyricist and singer Nick Beggs shared.

Speaking on the collaboration with Lifeson, Beggs said "Our history with Alex Lifeson goes back quite a few years to when Rush invited a number of artists to rerecord an anniversary version of their classic album 2112. Steven Wilson and band rattled off a version of The Twilight Zone one afternoon during sound check which was included on the final release. I also invited Alex to play guitars on the Mute Gods' song One Day so I guess it was only a question of time before he was asked to contribute to Trifecta too. I don't like to bug him too much but if it's a song I think he'll enjoy I'll inevitably send him a demo to gauge his response. He instantly related to Once Around The Sun and added some wonderful guitar colour to the track."

Beggs formed Trifecta in 2021 with bandmates Craig Blundell and Adam Holzman. The trio released their debut album, Fragments, that same year.

Dee Snider Says Twisted Sister Reunion Offers 'Getting Close'

Dee Snider Says Twisted Sister Reunion Offers 'Getting Close'

Former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has said that the offers the band are receiving to reunite have almost become too good to turn down.

In an interview with "The Hook Rocks!" podcast, Snider offered an update on the status of the band, who did reunite for a one-off performance in 2023 for Twisted Sister's induction to the Metal Hall of Fame.

"As a result of all the bands retiring and dying, the offers get bigger and bigger for the holdouts to come back. And we retired in 2016, I think it was. So we're on eight years now of not playing, with no intention of coming back," Snider explained. "But - my father, he says, 'Everything before the word 'but' is bullsh*t - but at some point, you've gotta say, 'Well, how can I say no to that?'"

He continued, "Is it there yet? No. Is it getting close? Yeah. Is there talk amongst us, like, 'Well, in the event that the numbers do get there, and they sure as hell seem to be going in that direction, how are we gonna do this?' So there's a little bit of that conversation. And that's both physically how we're gonna do it and on a number of other levels."

Snider also confirmed that the remaining band members are all friends, saying, "The surviving guys, we all talk and we're all friends and we love each other. And that was one of the great things that came out of getting back together the first time is that we managed to fix the friendships and be friends and that, to me, is really why I wanted to do it in the first place, getting back [together] last time. So, anyway, we'll see what happens."

Five Finger Death Punch Drop DMX Collab 'This Is The Way'

Five Finger Death Punch Drop DMX Collab 'This Is The Way'

Five Finger Death Punch recently released a new song, "This Is the Way," featuring late Ruff Ryders rapper DMX.

The collab is one of the four bonus tracks featured on the deluxe version of Five Finger Death Punch's 2022 album After Life, which arrived on Friday (April 5).

The band released "This Is the Way" along with an accompanying video directed by Hype Williams. The video features black and white performance footage of FFDP along with photos, cartoon images and memorial murals of DMX.

"Ya'll heard it through the grapevine (what's that?)/ Expect I'm gonna take mine/ Name of the game is get in where you fit in (what?)/ Dog, I fit in at the beginning," DMX raps in the first verse.

FFDP guitarist Zoltan Bathory said that the idea of a collab with DMX had been "in discussion for years, and it was a long and winding road to turn this particular item on our wish list into reality. He was a lyrical warrior, a true original who spoke his mind incorruptibly."

"He growled and snarled, aiming to rattle some cages-an attitude we share, as Five Finger Death Punch has always been drawn to the fearless and the real," he added. "It made all the sense in the world, but today this is more than just a song; it's a salute to a legend, a way to honor DMX's memory."

Sublime With Rome Announce Final Album, Share Lead Single 'Love Is Dangerous'

Sublime With Rome Announce Final Album, Share Lead Single 'Love Is Dangerous'

Alternative rock group Sublime with Rome have announced their final album, which is set to be released on May 10th. The band also released "Love Is Dangerous" as a preview of the self-titled album.

"'Love Is Dangerous' explores the vulnerabilities we face when we love someone," frontman Rome Ramirez said about the single. "As a touring musician, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle, but writing this song was like therapy for me. It reminded me that life isn't just about chasing success in my career or art-it's about taking time to connect with the people I care about. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is slow down and really listen to our loved ones' hearts."

In support of the final album, Sublime with Rome recently announced a farewell North American tour that kicks off April 11th in Catoosa, Oklahoma, and runs all the way through a September 14th show in Kansas City, Missouri.

The touring members for this final leg will consist of Rome Ramirez, Joe Tomino on drums, Brian Allen on bass, and Gabrial McNair on trombone/keys.

Porno For Pyros Release Final Song 'Fingernail'

Porno For Pyros Release Final Song 'Fingernail'

Porno for Pyros released "Fingernail," their final song ever, on Friday (April 5).

The band recorded "Fingernail" last year, along with "Agua" and "Little Me." All the songs were written in the '90s.

"Fingernail" features Porno for Pyros' original lineup of singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Peter DiStefano, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Martyn LeNoble. Robert Adam Stevenson, who co-produced the song, worked on its piano and string arrangements.

"It was originally supposed to come before the tour, we tried, but even the best laid plans don't always work out," the band wrote on social media and called it "a beautiful song, one that we hope resonates with you as it does with us."

"The moment the melody touched the words I knew it would be a special song. But I was too immature to understand the essence fully," Farrell said of "Fingernail."

"There is no pain in the cutting of our hair, eyelashes or a fingernail, because they are dead, although the world at every instant is renewed. The death invested within us is pushed out, and the soul is again restored," he added.

LeNoble commented, "In 'Fingernail,' I hear our lives, and yours. Decades of growing. Happiness, heartbreak, tension, loss and joy. growing pains. In this case it took almost 30 years for this song to slowly grow into what it is now. And, the way the song ends. I love redemption songs. I'd say we ended it well Perry, Peter and Stephen."

"Fingernail is a true marriage of story meets storytelling in twisted harmony," Perkins said, while DiStefano commented, "Fingernail to me is the art of patience while in recovery."

Cage The Elephant Share Charismatic New Single 'Good Time'

Cage The Elephant Share Charismatic New Single 'Good Time'

Cage The Elephant recently shared a new song, "Good Time," the latest single from the band's upcoming album Neon Pill.

Neon Pill is due out through Columbia Records on May 17. "Good Time" follows the previously released singles "Out Loud" and the title track.

Singer Matthew Schultz commented, "'Good Time' was one of those rare tracks that captivated me almost instantaneously. The instrumentation hit so hard, with an energy that was so commanding, that it was almost as if I couldn't have kept myself from writing something to it if I had wanted to."

"Very different from anything we had ever written before, and somehow it still felt relatively familiar in contrast to our prior works. It felt like visually the music was some strange monstrous alien creature thunderously marching and stumbling down a crowded street in the middle of a parade on a sweltering hot summer day or something weird like that," he added. "I wanted the vocals to dance around and play with that energy. To be potent and at the same time intuitive, or a seemingly random mumbling. As though they were a frantically ranted broken confessional piece."

The band are also set to embark on a summer North American tour in support of the LP.

Gene Simmons Says Sale Of KISS Catalog Was Not About Financial Gain

Gene Simmons Says Sale Of KISS Catalog Was Not About Financial Gain

Gene Simmons says financial gain was not the motive behind the decision to sell KISS' catalog.

Pophouse announced the acquisition of KISS' music catalog, brand name and IP last Thursday.

The package includes the famous face paint designs as well as trademarks of the iconic American rock band.

The bassist and co-founder of KISS said in an interview with People that it felt like a "natural thing" to make the deal with the Swedish entertainment and music investment firm, although the rock band "weren't looking for it" initially.

"Life happens while you're busy making important plans. We were planning our respectful, proud walking off into the sunset, because we've been touring, we had been touring for half a century. I don't want to go out there with my walker," he told People.

Referring to a meeting between the band and Pophouse, Simmons said, they "broke bread, talked about our families and we got to be friends."

Simmons maintained making money is "not what [the sale is] about. It's about enjoying life," while adding, "I'm certainly blessed."

The Swedish entertainment and music investment firm said it acquired the artist share of the master recordings and publishing rights of KISS. The financial terms of the agreement are not being disclosed.
