Billy Joel Performs “Iris” with Goo Goo Dolls’ John Rzeznik at Buffalo Concert: Stream
Billy Joel had a surprise for the crowd present at his show in Buffalo on Saturday night: an appearance by none other than the Goo Goo Dolls’ John Rzeznik. “Welcome to my hometown,” the frontman told Joel after being brought onstage at Orchard Park, NY’s Highmark Stadium to cheers from the assembled concertgoers. From there, he launched into his band’s biggest hit — 1998’s “Iris” — with some help from the legendary piano man on keys. “And all I can taste is this moment/ And all I can breathe is your life/ And sooner or later, it’s over/ I just don’t wanna miss you tonight/ And I don’t want the world to see me/ ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand/ When everything’s made to be broken/ I just want you to know who I am,” he wailed on the second verse and subsequent chorus as the crowd ...

Pearl Jam’s Ten Is Alive Because of an Unlikely Series of Events
Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Radio Public | Pocket Casts | RSS On the debut episode of Season 16 of Consequence Podcast Network and Sony’s The Opus, we explore the intertwining series of events that led to Pearl Jam’s iconic debut, Ten, coming alive. The chain of moments that led to Ten are wild. Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard were previously in Green River, and when that broke up, they launched the psych-garage band Mother Love Bone with singer Andrew Wood. Unfortunately, Wood passed away right before their first album was released. To honor their fallen bandmate, Ament and Gossard joined a few members of Soundgarden for a tribute album under the Temple of the Dog moniker. Former Red Hot Ch...
Dave Grohl Once Flew to the US for a Father-Daughter Dance in the Middle of an Australian Tour
Dave Grohl is one of the most famous musicians in rock history, and he might just be one of the best dads in the world, too. On this week’s episode of After School Radio, a podcast hosted by Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Grohl revealed that he once took a red-eye flight home in the middle of an Australian tour so he wouldn’t miss a father-daughter dance for his kids. However, the trip didn’t go exactly as he planned. Grohl and the Foo Fighters’ tour manager, Gus Brandt, came up with the perfect plan to pull off the ridiculously expensive and time-intensive gift. The two decided they would run offstage in Adelaide, hop in a car, drive to an airport, and fly straight to Sydney. From there, they would wait out a three-hour layover before hopping on a plane to Los Angeles, California, catching a ri...

Machine Gun Kelly Enters the Freak Show In Cole Bennett-Directed ‘Papercuts’ Clip: Watch
It’s a strange ride in the fast lane, a metaphor for the trappings of fame, as Kelly comes in for some punishment and parties with an assortment of colorful freaks, clowns and what appears to be a Klingon. The pop-punk number is lifted from MGK’s forthcoming sixth studio album, Born With Horns, on which Travis Barker returns as executive producer. It’s the followup to Tickets To My Downfall, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last October, for MGK’s first leader. A sold-out tour in support of Downfall is scheduled to kick off Sept. 9 in Minneapolis, MN. There’s no release date yet for Born With Horns. Watch the music video for “Papercuts” below.

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Reunite for ‘Raise the Roof’ Album, 2022 Tour
The first track, which was released Thursday (Aug. 12), is “Can’t Let Go,” originally recorded by Lucinda Williams. Like the other songs on the album, the swampy, surf-influenced “Can’t Let Go” features a driving beat. “We wanted it to move,” Krauss said of the album in a statement. “We brought other people in, other personalities within the band, and coming back together again in the studio brought a new intimacy to the harmonies.” Added Plant: “You hear something and you go, ‘Man, listen to that song, we got to sing that song!’ It’s a vacation, really — the perfect place to go that you least expected to find.” A follow-up was expected long before now with Plant, Krauss and Burnett returning to the studio shortly after the release of the original, but that project was scrapped.

A new album from They Might Be Giants is coming faster than you can say “Constantinople.” BOOK, the geek-rock icons’ 22nd (!!!) full-length LP, is due October 29th. As a preview of the upcoming music, TMBG have shared a surreal video for the snappy single, “I Can’t Remember the Dream.” BOOK, the album, is billed as a beacon of light amid a pretty unanimously rough period of time; As the band’s John Linnell describes, its songs are “humorously germane to the catastrophe going on around us.” “I Can’t Remember the Dream” is a perfect fit for this purpose, detailing all the benefits of a pleasant slumber: “I can’t remember the dream that I had last night/ But I woke with delight and excitement/ And then when I tried to remember the dream that I had last night/ It was gone, but the feeling I ha...
