Kid Cudi and Ariana Grande have dropped off their Don’t Look Up soundtrack offering, “Just Look Up.” Clocking in at approximately three-and-a-half minutes, the cut begins with Grande’s powerful vocals taking over the piano, followed by Cudi who comes in for a short verse.

Billy F Gibbons, apart from his five decades-long role fronting ZZ TOP, has in recent years recorded three much-lauded solo albums for Concord Records, including “Hardware”, released this past June. To cap off the year, Concord has released a singular single, “Jingle Bell Blues”, on November 9. It’s Billy‘s reworking of the eternal “Jingle Bells” with some significant modifications or “Kustom” touches. “Bells on hot rods ring” is one such and mention is made of a “drop-top” sleigh. While the song exudes holiday cheer, the gut- bucket vocal approach that Billy applies to the repertoire is nothing short of extraordinary. Billy‘s guitar solos can best be described as “epic” and should heat up...

John Cooper, the frontman for the Grammy-nominated Christian rock band SKILLET, has pushed back against the criticism he has received for his comments about COVID-19 vaccine mandates. During an appearance on Apologia Radio, hosted by Luke Pierson, a pastor/elder at Apologia Church, the 46-year-old vocalist/bassist, who previously publicly revealed that he was unvaccinated, addressed the reaction he has gotten from the mainstream media and audience for his assertion that vaccines are a tool of government control.

Tracii Guns says that he disagrees with his SUNBOMB bandmate Michael Sweet‘s stance on abortion. Earlier today, Sweet, who has fronted the openly Christian rock band STRYPER for nearly four decades, blasted protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court who were videotaped allegedly taking abortion pills (mifepristone) ahead of the nation’s highest court hearing arguments over a case involving a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks. None of the protesters were pregnant, said Amelia Bonow, co-founder of the abortion rights group Shout Your Abortion, who orchestrated the demonstration. In a post on his social media, Michael wrote: “When women are shamelessly and proudly taking ‘abortion pills’ on video with smiles on their faces, isn’t that a ...

In a new interview with CNN, Slash said that GUNS N’ ROSES‘ long-running reunion tour went incredibly well, in part thanks to the great relationship he, singer Axl Rose and the other bandmembers are currently enjoying. “When we got back together, that whole chemistry and that thing that makes what GUNS N’ ROSES is for me and Axl and Duff [McKagan, bass], it all just sort of came together,” Slash said. “After that long a period of time, we’d sort of forgotten what that was like. “Everybody got along great,” he added. “That’s actually why the tour has kept going, because initially it was just going to be a couple of shows.” GUNS launched its long-rumored and long-awaited reunion tour with an April 2016 club show in Holly...
