Sebastian Bach (SKID ROW), Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER, SONS OF APOLLO), Alex Skolnick (TESTAMENT) and Axl Rose (GUNS N’ ROSES) are among the rockers who have reacted to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden‘s announcement that California senator Kamala Harris will be his running mate in the 2020 presidential election. “I think @KamalaHarris is the perfect running mate!” Portnoy tweeted. “She really strengthens the bill and will help strengthen some of Biden‘s weaknesses that some people have concerns over…This is probably the most important election in US history, so get out and VOTE!” The former DREAM THEATER drummer added in separate tweet: “I know political posts usually sparks heated debates and can sometimes even result in los...
DAVE GROHL Mourns Loss Of TRINI LOPEZ: He ‘Unknowingly Helped Shape The Sound Of The FOO FIGHTERS’
Dave Grohl is mourning the passing of legendary American singer, guitarist, actor and Gibson signature artist Trini Lopez. Lopez died Tuesday from complications of COVID-19 in Palm Springs, California. He was 83. “Today the world sadly lost yet another legend, Trini Lopez,” the former NIRVANA drummer and current FOO FIGHTERS frontman wrote on social media. “Trini not only left a beautiful musical legacy of his own, but also unknowingly helped shape the sound of the FOO FIGHTERS from day one. “Every album we have ever made, from the first to the latest, was recorded with my red 1967 Trini Lopez signature guitar.

Phish’s Trey Anastasio Was the First Late-Night TV In-Studio Guest Since March
Phish singer Trey Anastasio has had a busy year — even in quarantine. Phish released a new album, Sigma Oasis, earlier this year and while alone in New York City, Anastasio put together a solo album titled Lonely Trip. On Tuesday night, Anastasio became the first in-studio guest on a late-night show since the coronavirus pandemic fully took hold of society in March. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Anastasio and the Roots tore through a version of the Lonely Trip track “I Never Needed You Like This Before.” The performance, socially-distant of course, took place in Studio 6A rather than the customary 6B due to spacing. Upon entry into the building (with just his guitar and amp in hand), SPIN has learned, Anastasio had to take a COVID-19 test on site. He test...
Dave Grohl Remembers Trini Lopez: ‘A Beautiful Musical Legacy’
Singer Trini Lopez, who is best known for songs like his cover of “If I Had a Hammer,” “I’m Comin’ Home, Cindy,” “Sally Was a Good Old Girl” and “Lemon Tree,” died at the age of 83 in Palm Springs. Variety says The Dirty Dozen actor died due to complications from COVID-19. Lopez may not have known it, but he had an important role in shaping Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl’s career as well. In a series of tweets from the Foo Fighters account, Grohl thanked Lopez for his contributions to the band Grohl purchased a 1967 Trini Lopez signature guitar while he was still in Nirvana, and still relies on it to create the Foos’ sound. “Today the world sadly lost yet another legend, Trini Lopez. Trini not only left a beautiful musical legacy of his own, but also unknowingly helped s...
Vote for the Best 2000’s Latin Hit: Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Thalia & More
While Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and other reggaeton stars dominate the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the new era, the scenario was different 20 years ago. The Hot Latin Songs chart, which currently blends airplay, streaming data, and digital sales, was then dominated mainly by pop ballads and some tropical anthems with chart-toppers such as Chayanne, Thalia, and Marc Anthony, to name a few. In the year 2000, 18 Latin bops hit No. 1, showcasing the variety in musical taste and consumption. {“nid”:”9429942″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Thalia, Marc Anthony & More Latin Artists Who Had No. 1 Billboard Hits 20 Years Ago”,”relative_path”:”\/articles\/columns\/latin\/9429942\/hot-latin-songs-hits-in-2000\/...
A Sweet Ascent: Ozuna’s ‘Caramelo’ Hits No. 1 on Latin Airplay Chart
As Ozuna’s “Caramelo” hits No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart (dated Aug. 15), he nabs his 20th leader on the list which launched in 1994. The song hikes 5-1 in its eighth week on the chart (up 41% in audience impressions to 1 million, in the week ending Aug. 9, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data).

Above them are only Enrique Iglesias who continues at the helm with 31 No. 1s and J Balvin with 23. “I am extremely grateful for the great support and acceptance that ‘Caramelo’ has had,” Ozuna tells Billboard. “I’m super happy with the news that there are already 20 No. 1 singles in my career. We are working hard to continue providing good music. Stand by for ENOC, c...

Let’s Rewind Through Sen. Kamala Harris’ Mood Playlist
Former Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden announced Sen. Kamala Harris as his VP pick Tuesday (Aug. 11), so Billboard is revisiting and rewinding through her mood playlist. Last year during a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Harris sat down and ran through her favorite tracks for any given scenario, from what to play at the cookout (Beyoncé‘s Lemonade) to what reminds her of her college days at Howard University (Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It”) to what she loved as a child (Aretha Franklin’s “Young, Gifted and Black”). But most importantly and timely, her presidential song pick is “One Nation Under a Groove” by Funkadelic. Artists including John Legend, Cher, Justin Timberlake, Hayley Kiyoko and more chee...
