Skrillex Shares Studio Footage with Mike D of The Beastie Boys
The electronic music community has been anxiously awaiting the release of Skrillex‘s next body of work after he shared that the first of multiple albums was nearly finished back in March. Since then, we’ve had only brief looks at what he’s up to through videos posted by himself and fellow collaborators. Skrillex recently shared a clip on his Instagram story of him working with Mike D of the legendary hip-hop trio The Beastie Boys. While short, the clip shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee drumming with the electronic icon. Unfortunately, this was the only look fans received as later posts on his page did not feature the special guest. Skrillex on Instagram Mike D is not the only Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee that’s been spotted with Sk...
The Animals’ Eric Burdon Says ‘House of the Rising Sun’ Fits Donald Trump ‘So Perfectly’
Donald Trump’s had no shortage of artists mad at him for using their music, seemingly preferring to receive cease-and-desist notices from handfuls of musicians rather than being stuck with those who would actually accept the use of their tunes at his rallies. But one artist who won’t be discouraging the current White House regime from using their most famous tune is Eric Burdon of the Animals. According to Burdon’s Instagram post, no one asked his permission to use “House of the Rising Sun” when Trump landed at Wilmington International Airport in North Carolina this past week — and he certainly doesn’t support the President — but it’s a fitting track for the controversial leader to use. “Even though nobody asked my permission, I wasn’t surprised to learn that [Trump] used #Houseo...
Watch Slipknot’s Corey Taylor’s Version of ‘(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding’
If you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like if Slipknot took a page out of Elvis Costello’s playbook and covered Nick Lowe’s “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding,” you’re one step closer to your lucky day. Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor performed the song during SiriusXM’s Octane Home Invasion Festival as he continues to promote his debut solo album, CMFT (out Oct. 2 via Roadrunner Records), so while it’s not quite the entire masked metal band performing the classic tune, it’s a whole lot more likely than it was yesterday. Of course, the veteran songwriter was in on the joke, beginning the song by proclaiming “I’ve been threatening to do a cover of this for a very, very long time and figured what better time to do it than right now ...

Ralph Gilles Is Sorry It Took So Damn Long to Resurrect the Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Jeep apologizes for not bringing back the Grand Wagoneer sooner, but the team at Fiat Chrysler (FCA) probably would not have been able to do the premium three-row SUV justice if it had come out a decade ago, at least according to the automaker’s head of design, Ralph Gilles. “The times were not quite right at the time,” says Mr. Gilles, in an interview following the global reveal of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer Concept that is a precursor to the short wheelbase version of the top-end SUV which goes on sale next summer for the 2022 model year. There will also be a long-wheelbase version, and it will be part of a larger Wagoneer family with two sizes of a more affordable, mainstream three-row, as well. “Had this vehicle been born 10 years ago, I don’t think we would ...
