Toward the end of one of the most explosive episodes of Donahue — in which host Phil Donahue, who died Monday, tackled the hot topic of obscenity in music in 1990 — a caller said she believed Madonna should be arrested. Phil just chuckled. “Have you seen some of these Donahue shows?” he asked, taking off his blazer and putting it over his head and stumbling down the stairs. “Next thing you know, you’ll see this [he mimics a perp walk] and the handcuffs. And you’ll say, ‘You know what? He’s guilty, he’s got to be.

Suicidal Tendencies have dropped their first studio recording with new drummer Jay Weinberg. The track, “Nós Somos Família,” is a Portuguese-language rework of their 1997 track “We Are Family.”

The new version of the celebratory song sees the Los Angeles thrash vets teamed with a host of Brazilian artists who are featured on the track, including Badauí (CPM22), B Negão (Planet Hemp), João Gordo (Ratos De Porao), Rodrigo Lima (Dead Fish), Supla, Fernanda Lira, Marcão Britto, and Thiago Castanho (Charlie Brown Jr.), plus skateboarders Sandro Dias and Pedro Barros.

Notably, it’s the first studio recording to feature Weinberg since he joined Mike Muir and company earlier this year following the drummer’s unceremonious exit from Slipknot. Weinberg’s worldclass skills are immediately put on display as the track opens with a blitzing soloed drum roll.

The single was recorded at Estúdio Central (formerly RedBull Station) in São Paulo,...

Drummer Jay Weinberg, who was let go from Slipknot late last year, has become a member of veteran crossover-thrash band Suicidal Tendencies. He will begin playing shows with them next week.

It was previously announced that Weinberg would be drumming with the reunited Infectious Grooves, featuring Suicidal Tendencies singer Mike Muir and Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. Now, he’s joined Muir’s main band, which previously featured Greyson Nekrutman, Brandon Pertzborn, and the legendary Dave Lombardo among its recent drummers.

In an Instagram post captioned “You Can’t Bring Me Down” (a Suicidal Tendencies song), Weinberg wrote the following about joining Suicidal Tendencies:

“When I think of the culture and community of heavy music that I’ve loved and considered my creative home for 20 years, I think of Suicidal Tendencies: a foundational pillar and source of inspiration ever since I fell in love with punk, metal, and hardcore. Having toured...

Former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg has wasted no time finding a new gig, as he’ll be playing drums for a reunited Infectious Grooves on the funk metal band’s 2024 concert dates.

Just three months after Weinberg was let go from Slipknot — leaving him “heartbroken and blindsided” — the drummer is joining a rhythm section that includes Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, who formed Infectious Grooves in 1991 alongside his then-Suicidal Tendencies bandmate Mike Muir.

So far, only two US shows in Garden Grove, California, on March 23rd and 24th at the Garden Grove Amphitheater have been announced — plus a string of Australian dates in late March and early April. Tickets to the US dates are available via StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program. The Australian shows can be purchased at this location.

Weinberg was tapped to play drums for Infectious Grooves — who are returning to the...

Bassist Robert Trujillo joined his old band Suicidal Tendencies and his son Tye Trujillo onstage for a performance of “I Saw Your Mommy…” during their support set for Metallica on Saturday (September 9th) in Glendale, Arizona.

It was a pleasant surprise for those who attended the gig, which was a makeup date for Metallica’s September 3rd Glendale show that was postponed due to James Hetfield testing positive for Covid.

Original support act Ice Nine Kills couldn’t make the rescheduled date, so concertgoers were instead treated to a set by crossover thrash vets Suicidal Tendencies.

Robert Trujillo famously played bass in the Los Angeles band during its prime era — 1989 to 1995 — and now, his son Tye is currently serving as touring bassist. It made for a double dose of Trujillo low-end action on Saturday as father and son ran through the early Suicidal Tendencies track “I Saw Your Mommy…” (from...

Fifteen years and a few largely forgotten side projects after the band’s disbandment in 2008, Be Your Own Pet have regrouped for Mommy. The album opens with “Worship the Whip,” an ode to Bdsm in which lead singer Jemina Pearl Abegg sneers, “Count your lashes and beg for more…Pray at the altar in your temple of pain,” over a wiry guitar line. The track boasts the same let’s-rock attitude that the Nashville garage-punk quartet’s previous releases did, even if the throwback vibes fall on the dusty side.

Lack of artistic development can be forgiven for a band like Be Your Own Pet that trades in straightforward pop-punk. But at times, they seem to be running on fumes. “Pleasure Seeker,” for one, shoots its wad with a super gritty riff on a song that could otherwise be characterized as a nonentity. The hook—“We’re pleasure seekers/Baby,...

Jennifer Lynch's Hisss is finally nearing its release date in India on October 22nd, and the publicity juggernaut keeps on moving.  This time it is Robert Kurtzman's Precinct 13 SFX lab doing some of the heavy lifting.

We've mentioned in a couple of our numerous posts on Hisss that it is truly an international effort.  We know that Kurtzman is supervising the effort on the effects side.  The film also features musical contributions from rocker Dave Kushner (Velvet Revolver, Danzig, and Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies fame) and Julian Lennon, son of John, as well as Indian film scion Shruti Hassan, daughter of Kamal Hassan and up and comer in the Indian film business, herself.  In addition, star Mallika Sherawat contributes her vocals for the first time in a song with a Holi theme.

Kurtzman has a nifty little web video series detailing some of his effects work and...

Fontana, California — Travis Barker was born in Fontana, making it a sure bet that he felt a sense of homecoming as Blink-182 made their only North American appearance of the year at California's Epicenter 2010 Festival in that very town. The trio's hit-packed set closed the two-day event on Sunday following performances from Rise Against, 30 Seconds to Mars, Against Me! and more.

Afternoon temperatures reached 110 degrees in the racetrack parking lot where Epicenter took place, but the crowd's enthusiasm never seemed to wane, thanks in part to a steady stream of water misters and water cannons. Epicenter 2010 kicked off Saturday with Eminem (in his only West Coast appearance this year), Kiss and reunited alt-rockers Bush, among others.
