Alter Bridge have announced their new self-titled album, out January 9th, 2026 via Napalm Records, as well as a 2026 European tour.

Their eighth studio album is comprised of 12 tracks and features trade-off vocal performances from frontman Myles Kennedy and guitarist/singer Mark Tremonti on songs such as “Trust in Me” and “Tested and Able,” plus the band’s longest composition to date — closing number “Slave to Master.” The LP was recorded over a two-month span this spring in the late Eddie Van Halen’s 5150 studio in California and at the Florida studio once owned by Elvis Presley.

Wolfgang Van Halen stopped by the Drumeo studio for a new video feature about his uncle, Alex, the drummer of Van Halen. In the 20-minute clip, Wolfgang opens up about his uncle’s legacy as a somewhat underrated facet of Van Halen, while also playing through a few Van Halen songs on the kit himself.

“If he wasn’t in a band with Eddie Van Halen, I think he would be lauded as one of the greatest drummers of all-time,” Wolfgang said. “Seeing the show live, you’ve got Dave fucking jumping around, doing pirouettes and shit, and you’ve got all the crazy shit dad’s doing — there’s so much happening, you can’t really lock in on the fact that Alex is demolishing everything in the most amazing way.”

A reunion of the 1996 vampire action film From Dusk Till Dawn has happened, but it isn't for a sequel or a reboot. Instead, director Robert Rodriguez decided to listen to a fan's request and revisit the horror universe that introduced us to Santánico Pandemonium. How exactly? Through a music video that'll leave you wanting more of Rodriguez's unique approach to the vampire genre.

The music video is "The End," by heavy metal band Mammoth. Band leader Wolfgang Van Halen, the son of guitar legend Eddie, stars in the video where the band arrives at a shady bar where their tunes aren't exactly welcome. We'll skip a few of the details that may give you an idea that the bar is just a branch of From Dusk Till Dawn's T*tty Twister.

As reported by Fangoria, the video is based on an idea by the guitarist and singer. Wolfgang...

Wolfgang Van Halen‘s Mammoth have released a new song, “The End,” along with a star-studded Robert Rodriguez-directed video featuring Danny Trejo, Slash, and more.

“The End” marks the first new music from Wolfgang since he dropped his initials from the Mammoth Wvh moniker, and it’s a ripper, opening with a shreddy tapping solo that echoes the guitar theatrics of Wolfgang’s late father, the legendary Eddie Van Halen. Performed by Wolfgang and returning collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette, the track balances fast-paced verses sections with a hyper melodic chorus that showcases Wolfgang’s vocals.

“I’ve had the tapping idea on the intro for ‘The End’ since before Mammoth,” Wolfgang said via a press release. “I was able to fit it into this world. It’s still over-the-top and shreddy, but it’s also melodic and controlled. Overall, I was doing some different things on the record,...

Multi-instrumentalist Wolfgang Van Halen unleashes some of his most virtuosic guitar parts yet on “The End,” the new single from his one-man band, Wolfgang Wvh — which arrives along with an elaborate, Robert Rodriguez-directed video where he plays for an audience packed with vampires, zombies, and, for some reason, Slash.

The song kicks off with a two-handed tapping riff that inevitably evokes Wolfgang’s dad, the late Eddie Van Halen. In a statement, he explained he came up with that part years before he even conceived of his band. “I...

American rock band Creed reunited after 12 years for their Summer of ’99 tour, which started in July.

Hailing from Tallahassee, Florida, Creed is comprised of Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall, Mark Tremonti and Scott Stapp, with Phillips and Tremonti being the founding members in 1994.

Creed is the first band to ever have three singles on the Billboard top 20 at the same time. Their debut album My Own Prison has sold over 6.5 million copies and its follow-up album, Human Clay, has sold over 11.7 million copies.

Due to high tension between the bandmates, Creed broke up in 2004. However, the band reunited in 2009 and released their fourth album,...

Lucy Bleu-Knight — the stepdaughter of Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Slash — passed away at the age of 25 in July, and now the cause of death has been confirmed.

Lucy died at “a private residence,” and being so young, it was natural for fans to be concerned about how she died.

Well, an autopsy was performed, and now the cause of her death has finally been confirmed.

Devin Townsend has announced a new album titled PowerNerd, while also unveiling its title track featuring guest vocals from Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta. The 11-song LP is set for release on October 25th.

Over the past 30 years, Townsend has built a legendary career as a solo artist and as frontman of Strapping Young Lad and the Devin Townsend Project, among other projects. A press release describes PowerNerd as the start of the veteran musician’s “newest era.”

In defining the album’s title, Townsend stated, “I would say that a powernerd would be somebody that has a tendency that society has deemed weak or not valuable, whether that’s empathy or being an insular person or an introvert, and turns that into a type of personal power. It’s like, ‘Ok, yeah, I’m sensitive to this, that and the other thing, but man, I am going to pull through!

Mark Tremonti, guitarist for Creed and Alter Bridge, has announced a new album with his eponymous solo band, Tremonti. Titled The End Will Show Us How, the LP is set to arrive January 10th via Napalm Records, and the lead single “Just Too Much” can be streamed now.

Tremonti gets to exercise his full array of musical abilities in his solo work, as heard on “Just Too Much.” Crushing blues-inflected guitar riffs provide the backbone for the song, and he simultaneously commands a soaring vocal — a talent that often gets overlooked in his other bands.

On The End Will Show Us How, Tremonti is backed by guitarist Eric Friedman, bassist Tanner Keegan, and drummer Ryan Bennett. The group is set to support the Michael Baskette-produced album — a 12-song collection — with a tour of Europe early next year, as well as additional dates to come.

Myles Kennedy has announced a new solo album, The Art of Letting Go, arriving October 11th. The singer-guitarist — best known as the lead vocalist in both Alter Bridge and Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators — also offered up the video for the lead single “Say What You Will.”

The track is a driving hard rocker that verges on glam metal, with a lowdown groove riff and a gritty vocal from Kennedy. He and his bandmates (Zia Uddin on drums and Tim Tournier on bass) also appear in the School of Rock-style video clip, playing the role of middle-school faculty members who encourage a timid student to perform a rock set at the talent show.

It might not be immediately apparent from songs like “Sweet Child o’ Mine” or “November Rain,” but Slash’s roots are in the blues. “Everybody knows me as a rock & roll guitar player,” he tells Rolling Stone. “When I was a kid, though, I was exposed to great blues music from my family. So even though my intention was to be a rock musician when I picked up the guitar, it was always firmly rooted in the blues ideal.”

When he left Guns N’ Roses in the Nineties, Slash dedicated...

Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators wrapped up their UK/European tour in Paris on Monday (April 29th) by bringing Wolfgang Van Halen onstage for a rousing cover of the AC/DC classic “Highway to Hell.” Wolfgang’s band Mammoth Wvh served as support on the month-long run.

Kennedy introduced Wolfgang, telling the crowd, “We’re honored that we’ve been able to tour with this next gentleman and his band, ’cause I think he’s one of the most talented people on the planet.”

Slash then started playing the iconic “Highway to Hell” riff, with the rest of the band and Wolfgang joining in soon thereafter. Bassist Todd Kearns handled lead vocals on the verses, with Kennedy and Wolfgang chiming in on the chorus. At one point, Wolfgang delivered a blistering guitar solo.

Wolfgang was returning a favor, as earlier in the evening, Kennedy...

Slash and Gibson have rolled out a new artist signature model guitar: the “Jessica” Les Paul Standard.

“Jessica” has been Slash’s main stage axe since 1988 and has been used primarily to perform songs from Guns N’ Roses‘ debut Appetite for Destruction. It was also his trusty guitar as a member of Velvet Revolver and remains his choice instrument in Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators.

“This guitar has been with me since 1988,” remarked Slash in a press release. “It’s faded, I fucking dropped a cigarette on it … I named it when I was drunk, but I don’t remember what the catalyst for that was!”

While not an exact replica, the new signature model is based on Slash’s original “Jessica” and features a three-piece plain maple top on a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and a mahogany neck with a ’50s Vintage neck profile.

Electronically, the body houses...

Guns N’ Roses made their name with a gritty blend of blues-infused hard rock, but the melodic ballad “Sweet Child o’ Mine” is the band’s most commercially successful song and only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In previous interviews, Slash has said that his opening arpeggio guitar riff was essentially a toss-off that serendipitously unlocked the song’s full potential. Bassist Duff McKagan has gone a step further, revealing that Slash was actually trying to sabotage the ballad with the guitar intro.

Speaking on the Songcraft podcast, McKagan reflected on the songwriting process for “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and the origins of the eventual hit.

“Izzy [Stradlin] had the three chords,” McKagan said (as transcribed by Ultimate Classic Rock). “Ok, well that’s… ‘What do you do with that?’ Axl liked it. ‘Ok, well let’s try to make this work somehow.’”

According to McKagan, Slash wasn’t a fan of the tune.

Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators just launched their 2024 world tour, and treated fans to a performance of “Don’t Damn Me,” a Guns N’ Roses song that Gn’R themselves have never played live.

At the tour kickoff on Tuesday (January 23rd) in Mexico City, Slash and company broke out the deep Use Your Illusion I cut with Conspirators bassist Todd Kerns handling lead vocals, as Kennedy took a breather.

Before he rejoined Guns N’ Roses in 2016, Slash was asked in a 2014 interview if he and The Conspirators would ever perform “Don’t Damn Me.” He told the SlashFrance YouTube channel (as transcribed by Ultimate Classic Rock), “There’s just too many words. You know, it’s a cool song and everything. I think even [with] Axl [Rose], we never did it because it was just too many words without a breath, and it just makes it really impossible to do it live.

Guns N’ Roses have unveiled an AI-generated music video for their recent single “The General.” The animated clip intersperses a narrative story with footage of the band performing live.

“The General” was officially released in December following its live debut a month earlier. It’s also paired with the band’s previous single, “Perhaps,” on a 7-inch vinyl version. Both songs started out as unreleased demos from Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy sessions, but were newly re-recorded with guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, who rejoined the band in 2016.

The video shows Axl Rose and the other band members performing the song, as their human forms become animated versions of themselves. Per a press release, “Between the concert footage, [the video] dives into the subconscious of a young boy who stares down the monsters of dark childhood memories, blurring worlds in the process. The result is unlike anything the band has done...

Guns N’ Roses have officially released the new single “The General” after giving the song its live debut in early November at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The studio version is now available on all major streaming services, and can be heard below.

“The General” is the B-side to the vinyl edition of “Perhaps,” another new Gn’R song that was released earlier this year. The vinyl begins shipping today via Guns N’ Roses’ official merch store.

Both “The General” and “Perhaps” were originally written during sessions for 2008’s Chinese Democracy album, but were never released. The new recordings feature guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, who rejoined the band in 2016, alongside singer Axl Rose and other current and former members of Gn’R.

Ex-Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach has released his first new solo song in nearly a decade, “What Do I Got to Lose?,” on the heels of his appearance as Tiki on The Masked Singer.

Bach co-wrote the song with fellow rock frontman Myles Kennedy and producer Elvis Baskette. It’s a chunky, mid-tempo rocker that falls right in Sebastian’s wheelhouse with its lyrical bravado and a key change in the chorus that lets him stretch his legendary vocal range.

“To me, ‘What Do I Got To Lose?’ is the perfect sentiment for me right now,” Bach said via a press release. “It’s an anthem for coming back and crushing it. It’s time to lay down the law and put the hammer down old school-style.”

The single is the first solo material from Bach since 2014’s Give ‘Em Hell and marks his first release on the Reigning Phoenix Music imprint.

Guns N’ Roses performed at the Hollywood Bowl on Thursday night (November 2nd) in Los Angeles, and they offered up a special treat for the crowd. The legendary rock band gave the new song “The General” its live debut.

The band launched into “The General” 10 songs into the set, right in between the recent tunes “Perhaps” and “Absurd.” Before performing the track, singer Axl Rose said, “We’re gonna try a new song” and that the experience “could be very interesting.”

“The General” is the B-side to the recent physical release of “Perhaps,” which arrived earlier this year. The song marks the fourth new track Guns N’ Roses have released since the 2016 return of classic members Slash and Duff McKagan. All of the songs were reworked from earlier demos, mostly from the Chinese Democracy sessions.

The UK/European leg with Mammoth Wvh begins March 28th in Dublin, Ireland, and wraps up April 29th in Paris. General ticket sales begin Friday (October 20th) at 10 a.m. local time at this location.

Slash and company will be out in support of their latest album 4, which dropped in early 2022. The reason the newly announced outing is dubbed the “Rest of the World Tour” is because the band toured North America in support of the LP last year.

Bringing back the nostalgia of the late 1990s and early 2000s, American hard rock band Creed is finally making its comeback after the band split up in 2004 teasing their new show as, the band will be headlining the Summer of ’99 cruise festival in April 2024. They will also be joined by groups such as 3 Doors Down and Nine Days.

The multi-platinum band, known for its various hits such as ‘My Sacrifice’, ‘With Arms Wide Open’ and ‘One Last Breath’ split up in 2004 and then reunited in 2009 and released their fourth album ‘Full Circle’ and last played live in 2012.

While singer Scott Stapp embarked on a solo career after the split, the rest of the band members which include lead guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Philips and bassist Brian Marshall went on to form the highly acclaimed hard rock group Alter Bridge, with Myles Kennedy as both lead singer and rhythm and co-lead guitarist.

Creed are getting back together to headline the Summer of ’99 Cruise in 2024. They’ll be joined by fellow hit-making bands of the era, including 3 Doors Down, Buckcherry, Tonic, Fuel, and more.

It’s been more than a decade since Creed played a show, with their last gig taking place in December 2012 as they capped off their first reunion tour. The band had broken up in 2004, but got back together in 2009. They’ve been on hiatus ever since that final 2012 show.

The Summer of ’99 Cruise will set sail aboard the Norwegian Pearl on April 18th from Miami, and travel to Nassau, Bahamas, before returning on April 22nd. Joining the aforementioned acts on the boat will be Vertical Horizon, The Verve Pipe, Tantric, Dishwalla, Nine Days, and Veruca Salt’s Louise Post. Radio personality Eddie Trunk and the stars of Axs TV’s The Power Hour (including Matt Pinfield) will serve as hosts of the cruise.

Tracii Guns of L.A. Guns fame has unveiled a new band: Blackbird Angels. The group’s debut album, Solsorte, arrives September 8th, and the lead single “Shut Up (You Know I Love You)” can be heard now.

Guns formed the band alongside Todd Kerns, who is best known for his work with Slash and Myles Kennedy. Given the musical lineage of Guns and Kerns, “Shut Up (You Know I Love You)” hits the expected sweet spot of melodic hard rock with a hint of ’80s glam metal. For fans of L.A. Guns, it’s required listening.

“Todd and I have wanted to make a record for about 10 years now and we finally did it and it’s everything I hoped for,” Guns said via a press announcement. “With the addition of [drummer] Adam Hamilton, it’s pure magic. For live performances, Johnny Martin will play bass and Sam Bam Koltun will play guitar.

The 2023 edition of Welcome to Rockville took place over four days from Thursday (May 18th) to Sunday (May 21st) in Daytona Beach, Florida. The massive rock fest was led by headliners Tool, Pantera, Slipknot, and Avenged Sevenfold, while also featuring dozens more notable acts.

The festival closed out on Sunday with Tool’s first show of the year. The performance was particularly notable in that singer Maynard James Keenan dressed in drag just days after Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new anti-drag bill into law. As for the music, the band played a brief 10-song set that included classics like “Forty Six & 2” and “Stinkfist” alongside newer tracks like “Fear Inoculum” and “Invincible.”

Blues rock band Ghost Hounds have offered up the new song “Dirty Angel” ahead of their forthcoming studio album, due out in June via Gibson Records.

The track has a propulsive momentum that gradually builds across its five-plus-minute duration. Piano licks and slick lead guitar flourishes play off one another, while frontman Tré Nation delivers a dynamic vocal performance that gets more intense as the song reaches its crescendo.

“‘Dirty Angel’ is a high-octane, high-energy song that is one of our favorite cuts to play from our new album that will be released this summer,” remarked guitarist Johnny Baab. “We all got in the same room and tracked this live to really capture the raw energy happening in the moment. It felt like the right move to lead with this as our first single as an appetizer for what’s to come.”

The film Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song proffers the supposition that the multifaceted and layered career of the poet/singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen can be extrapolated by studying his enduring and internationally renowned composition “Hallelujah.” While there may be far more to explore about this remarkable man’s life than can be contained in one documentary, this piece by Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine does an extraordinary job in doing just that.

As a whole, the film chronicles Cohen’s song, “Hallelujah,” long (and dramatic) journey from rejection to international acclaim. The film also explores the many artists for which the song served as a sort of gauge for their own creative output or spirituality.

Artists like John Cale, Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright, Brandi Carlile, Eric Church, Judy Collins, Glen Hansard, Myles Kennedy, Sharon Robinson, and Regina Spektor are all allotted ample time to extol the virtues and nuances of Cohen’s composition,...
