Green Day Release Official Live Cover of KISS’ “Rock and Roll All Nite”: Stream

Green Day are celebrating their just-wrapped “Hella Mega Tour” with an official live version of the KISS classic “Rock and Roll All Nite.” During the summer trek with Weezer and Fall Out Boy, Green Day covered the iconic KISS tune at every one of the outing’s 21 shows. Today (September 10th), Billie Joe Armstrong and company released the live rendition, complete with a music video showing highlights from the tour. The “Hella Mega Tour,” which also featured Weezer and Fall Out Boy, wrapped up a few days ago in Seattle. Unlike KISS’ own current tour, during which Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons both contracted COVID-19, Green Day made it through unscathed. However, Fall Out Boy had to miss a few dates due to a positive test within the band’s camp. Advertisement Related Video Green Day are set ...

Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” Returns to Charts After Viral Performance With 11-Year-Old Nandi Bushell

It takes a lot of talent to put a quarter-century-old song back on the charts, whether you’re one of the most established alt-rock bands working today or just an especially precocious 11-year-old. This week, Foo Fighters’ 1997 classic “Everlong” has cracked each of Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, and Hot Hard Rock Songs charts, likely a result of the band’s recent live performance of the track with pint-sized drumming legend Nandi Bushell. The gig in question went down on August 26th at the Forum in Los Angeles, and has since driven US streams of “Everlong” up 4 percent. That’s good enough to propel “Everlong” to No. 19 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, No. 2 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, and No. 17 on Hot Alternative Songs chart. Bushe...

Elton John Brings James Hetfield to Tears as He Calls Metallica Classic “One of the Best Songs Ever Written”: Watch

During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show on Thursday, James Hetfield was brought to tears when surprise guest Elton John dubbed Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” as “one of the best songs ever written.” Metallica were guests of The Howard Stern Show with Miley Cyrus, who covered “Nothing Else Matters” with Elton John for the newly released compilation The Metallica Blacklist. With Metallica seated alongside Cyrus in Stern’s studio, the radio host brought Elton in via Zoom. Elton talked about his cover of “Nothing Else Matters” with Cyrus, which begins and ends with him playing piano. “That idea came from Andrew Watt, who produced the track and played guitar on it. He said, ‘I want you to start the song and finish the song, because I don’t want it to start with the guitar, becaus...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, husband of superstar rapper Nikki Minaj, is currently facing the possibility of spending 10 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release after pleading guilty Thursday to failure to register as a sex offender in the state of California.
