Gavin Rossdale returned to the Tonight Show on Tuesday night to perform the Bush hit “Glycerine” with a string section, just as he did 28 years ago in 1996.
The frontman played the band’s classic ballad in celebration of Bush’s just-announced “Loaded: The Greatest Hits” North American Summer 2024 tour featuring support from Jerry Cantrell and Candlebox (tickets available here). Loaded: The Greatest Hits is also the name of the band’s recently released best-of compilation.
A few things have changed since Rossdale first performed the song in March 1996 on the Tonight Show. Jay Leno was the host at the time, while Jimmy Fallon helms the late-night program nowadays. Rossdale, meanwhile, was 30 years old during the first appearance, and is 58 now.
Like the first time, Rossdale performed without his Bush bandmates, instead employing a string section to back him up during the heart-wrenching tune.

Duff McKagan released his third solo album, Lighthouse, on Friday (October 20th), and the Guns N’ Roses bassist has unveiled a music video for the song “I Just Don’t Know” featuring Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains.
The plaintive and honest clip sees McKagan and Cantrell playing the acoustic-based track under a massive strobe light that changes based on the mood of the music. Cantrell also contributes a guitar solo and backing vocals to the track.
Lyrically, it’s McKagan at his most sincere and personal, his voice dominant amongst the chiming acoustics — for which Cantrell is a perfect fit. The collab also sees Cantrell reciprocating McKagan’s contribution to the the former’s 2021 solo album, Brighten.

Post Malone appeared on The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, and while he was there, he delivered a stirring acoustic rendition of Alice in Chains’ signature hit, “Them Bones.” Watch the performance below.
Introducing it by saying “Hey, Howard, hopefully I don’t fuck these lyrics up,” Post began his take on the song, playing guitarist Jerry Cantrell’s signature chromatic riff on a beefy acoustic guitar, as he was backed by a choir. Building tension through the opening verse, the arrangement blossomed on the first chorus when the drum line dropped and Post belted the iconic “Ah’s” originally delivered by Alice’s Layne Staley.
By the end of the song, Post was able to build enough energy with his gravelly croon that it’s easy to forget that you’re listening to an acoustic version of the grunge anthem. He finished it off with a final a cappella “Ah,...

Alice in Chains played a headlining concert on Thursday (October 5th) in Highland, California, and the grunge icons were joined by a special guest: guitar legend Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne, and the current Pantera lineup.
Wylde took the stage for “Would?” — the closing masterpiece on Dirt and the final song of Alice in Chains’ main set, prior to the encore.
“To be onstage and see Zakk Wylde walk out with my Les Paul, that’s just an honor right there,” said Aic singer-guitarist William DuVall during Wylde’s introduction. “The man’s a genre unto himself.”
Wylde falls right in with Jerry Cantrell and the rest of the band, tactfully complementing the rhythm section rather than trying to get to showy. But during the chorus, he displays his masterful right-hand pick work, adding some tasteful syncopations and additional chunk to the mix.
Wylde’s appearance isn’t too surprising.

In This Moment have unveiled “Godmode” — the title track from the Los Angeles alt-metal band’s forthcoming album arriving October 27th.
The song is one of the most diverse musical offerings from Itm to date. Opening with an electronic pulse, the band go full on electro-industrial for the first half of the track, with the chorus taking a more metal-based direction. Maria Brink’s vocals follow suit, shedding a mask of glitchy distortion before cutting clean through the mix.
“The lyrics came from feeling powerful and tribal and entrancing,” Brink commented in a press statement. “The fact that [guitarist] Chris [Howorth] gets me so much that I can literally send him a voicemail and he sends it back to me in music form shows how in tune we are. It’s been a long time since I screamed on an entire verse for a song. I wanted to release a bunch of stuff and it felt visceral.

Duff McKagan has announced his third solo album, Lighthouse, due October 20th. In advance of its release, the Guns N’ Roses bassist has unveiled the title track.
The 11-song effort ends with three tracks boasting notable guest musicians: “Hope,” featuring McKagan’s Gn’R bandmate Slash; “I Just Don’t Know,” featuring Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell; and “Lighthouse (Reprise)” featuring punk godfather Iggy Pop.
On the title track, McKagan sounds like a punk-rock Bob Dylan as he sings the initial verses over an acoustic guitar line for the first minute or so of the tune. From there, the song kicks in with multi-track vocals and pounding drums for the soaring chorus.
McKagan says of the new album and its theme, “The crashing…. the cresting waves, the falling through of all that surrounds you. Life sometimes tosses us around, and we feel the want of comfort and the pull of home.

Better Lovers — a newly formed supergroup featuring current and former members of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, and Fit for an Autopsy — are introducing themselves with their debut single, “30 Under 13.”

Faced with the biggest, craziest Keanu Reeves kill-fest yet in “John Wick 4,” composer Tyler Bates upped the musical ante the only way possible: He added an orchestra to the essential “John Wick” palette of raw, headbanging guitars, drums and synths.
Bates – also known for his “Guardian of the Galaxy” scores – has collaborated with fellow composer Joel J. Richard on all of the “John Wick” music since the first film opened in 2014. “We share some very similar taste, and as friends, we’re just already on a subconscious wavelength,” says Bates.
“If you listen to the four scores, they’ve definitely grown as the scope of the films has. Not in the way that it’s now an orchestra and it’s larger; it’s just that the color palette has continued to develop throughout, still maintaining the fun, hybrid-rock foundation to the score.”

The Dillinger Escape Plan’s 2013 album One of Us Is the Killer has inspired a new graphic novel of the same name, arriving in the near future via Sumerian Comics.
Rock & Roll Hell creators Sam Romesburg and Ben Roberts were inspired by the album title to pen the original story, which was then influenced by various concepts within the LP’s songs and lyrics. Visual artist Greg Di Angilla (Rock & Roll Hell) and colorist Warnia Sahadewa (Doctor Who) are credited with the cover art and colors, respectively.
The plot synopsis reads: “A string of assassinations made by a politically-motivated killer known only to the public as The Quill serves as the spark to ignite a full scale revolution. Set in a technologically advanced American City in the not too distant future, Vertical Integration Corp. has seized all means of production and capital available, creating a financial synergy unlike any that has ever existed.

Both Korn’s Friday night show — as well as sets by Skillet and Breaking Benjamin — and Guns N’ Roses’ headlining set Saturday were called off for precautionary reasons as storm warnings hit the area, forcing the festivalgoers at the Daytona International Speedway to evacuate. Other artists like Jerry Cantrell and Shinedown played abbreviated sets before the evacuation order was mandated.

Alice in Chains guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell has released the first single, “Atone,” from his upcoming solo album, Brighten, out October 29th.
“Atone” is a heavy track, although it’s undergirded by a sinister twang while the guitar riffs hit with grit and menace, as well as a bit of psychedelic unease. “Running out of time,” Cantrell wails right before the hook, “Gotta find a way to atone/Gotta find a way to atone/Trying to find a way to atone.”

Kirk Hammett looks back on his career — including the time he played in Exodus before joining Metallica — in Gibson TV’s upcoming Icons interview.
In a preview clip, Hammett recalls seeing interest in Metallica seem to blow up overnight in San Francisco, going from a gig with 15 people to a packed house in 1982 or 1983 as the thrashers’ legend spread. The full interview will be available on Gibson TV’s YouTube page Tuesday at 1 p.m. Et.

Alice in Chains’ guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell reflects on his early life in a teaser for an upcoming, long-form interview about his career via Gibson’s Icon series.
“Music was something that was always in our house from a very early age,” he says in the clip. “By that time, I was heavily into rock, like AC/DC and Kiss and all the English metal. And I grew up on bands that wrote good riffs. I just wanted to play guitar, write songs, and I’m proud to have...

Alice in Chains mingle the sentimental and the supremely silly in their new “Rainier Fog” video, which explores the band’s dramatic friendship with an anthropomorphic beer bottle.
The clip opens with the alt-metal quartet driving late at night on a winding road past a “[Beer] Crossing” sign. Moments later, their vehicle strikes a passing group of bottles, and they drive away with one of them, nursing it back to health. This leads to a goofy montage in which the musicians teach the beverage how to play tee-ball, babysit as it...

New science fiction thriller Black Antenna is set against Alice in Chains' Rainier Fog album and goes straight for the teeth.
Black Antenna has come raining down as Alice in Chains reminds us why we even care anymore. With an insistent beat, the Seattle sound pioneers are going where no grunge band has gone before. Alice In Chains released the first two episodes of Black Antenna, a 90 minute science fiction thriller which will be released in 10 segments before coming out as a full movie.
Directed by Adam Mason, written by Paul Sloan and Adam Mason and produced by Elizabeth Mason and Nick Vallelonga, who is coming off Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture Oscars for Green Book, Black Antenna is set against songs from Alice in Chains' sixth studio album Rainier Fog.
Alice in Chains dropped Rainier Fog on August 24, 2018. It is named after Seattle's volcano Mount Rainier.

Alice in Chains vocalist-guitarist Jerry Cantrell reflects on how his band reunited in a new interview with Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich for the latter’s Apple Music/Beats 1 radio show It’s Electric. The episode will air on February 10th at 3 p.m. Pt.
In an exclusive clip from the show, Cantrell says that he felt it was time to get the band back together after Layne Staley’s death once he realized that singer-guitarist William DuVall was the right fit. “We had to think about this,” he says. “This is our life.

Chris Cornell’s friends and family offered up many heartfelt tributes at Los Angeles’ Forum Wednesday night, but the one that captured his essence best improbably came from Jack Black. “Sometimes Chris Cornell would sing a note that didn’t exist,” he told the sold-out crowd. “Sometimes [he] would sing a note that was between two real notes, and it would open a portal into another dimension. I don’t know if that’s true. Like, maybe it was probably a real note – it was probably a C-flat – but it was...

Alice in Chains enlisted the Doors guitarist Robby Krieger for a special performance of the grunge band’s classic “Rooster” during their concert Wednesday at the Palladium in Los Angeles, California.
Krieger added bluesy, atmospheric fills to the Dirt song, countering Jerry Cantrell’s wild wah-wah leads. The psych-rock veteran visibly smiled during Cantrell’s solo as he locked in-sync with singer-guitarist William DuVall.

With scuzzbucket, crunchy guitar lines and stabbing drums, Alice in Chains’ Rainier Fog stays the course the band has been following for the last three decades: unapologetic, gut-checking, introspective grunge metal. But something about it feels incomplete.
The record is the band’s third since the death of its iconic frontman, Layne Staley, whose high-tension vocals gave Alice In Chains enough drama to kick them into the same league as their Seattle brethren, and they’ve nevertheless proven they could carry on without him on 2009’s surprisingly tuneful Black Gives Way to Blue.

Alice in Chains cling to painful memories on their cathartic new song “Never Fade.” “Growing cold, try to numb my feeling/ Lose control/ All my friends are leaving,” the alt-metal band laments over venomous power chords. “Paid the price for all the lies I used to live/ Sacrifice for all the love I tried to give.”
“Never Fade” is the band’s third single from their upcoming sixth album, Rainier Fog, following “The One You Know” and “So Far Under.” The quartet recorded the LP with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Mastodon,...

Jerry Cantrell and Batman collide for the new song “Setting Sun.” It’s the Alice in Chains guitarist’s contribution to a series of tracks inspired by the DC Comics graphic novel Dark Nights: Metal: Deluxe Edition.
Cantrell recorded the pounding track with producer Mike Elizondo and film composer and Marilyn Manson collaborator Tyler Bates.
“All you were is wiped away / All your love has died today / Run, you are a setting sun,” Cantrell sings on the grim solo track that would sit comfortably alongside his Alice in Chains output.

Chris Cornell will be honored at tonight’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland by a special performance from Ann Wilson and Jerry Cantrell.
Speaking to reporters before the show, the Alice in Chains guitarist — who is finishing a new record to be released through BMG records — revealed that Wilson had reached out to him for the tribute.
“Chris was a friend,” Cantrell told reporters. “I’ve always been inspired by his work ethic and talent in this band. Soundgarden, they were a big influence.”
Cantrell said that when he got the call, he naturally said yes.
“She was thinking about doing something for a friend, and asked me,” he explained. “Anytime she calls, absolutely.”
Wilson is working on a new album, “Immortal,” which will honor artists gone too soon, and felt that it was right to honor Cornell at the April 14 ceremony in Cleveland.

Many will find it up for dispute, but I believe a review of legendary rock musician Ace Frehley’s newest album Space Invader fits in perfectly here. The former Kiss guitarist made a name for himself onstage as he stalked around in his interstellar costume while his instrument smoked and he fired off rockets into the sky as strobe lights flashed and flames jumped around him. His Spaceman persona grew to even more epic proportions in a sci-fi fantasy movie, video games, and through the pages of Marvel Comics and other publications. The larger-than-life cosmic super hero delivered humanity from the clutches of evil just like the Avengers, Justice League, or Fantastic Four.
You can take the makeup off his face, but you can’t remove the spirit of the Spaceman from Ace Frehley’s heart. The former Kiss lead guitarist is back and better than ever with the impeccably titled Space Invader.

Remember the '90s? Sure you do. The music was grungier. The Marky Marks were Markier. You had to choose between your phone and the Internet. And the ponytails were occasionally sideways.
Well, if you somehow missed the decade due to an interference in the time-space continuum — or you just happen to be really young — we've assembled 15 movie clips that best represent what life, or at least movies, were like during that glorious decade. A '90s time capsule, if you will. So sit back, relax and throw on your favorite starter jacket.

Jane's Addiction leader Perry Farrell has been on the vanguard for almost every important musical movement in the last three decades — alternative music, Lollapalooza, the rise of Edm, and Coachella, to name a few. Nowadays, though, it would seem the 54-year-old singer has different priorities — hanging with friends.
One of those friends would be Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell. The Chains have experienced a revival since hiring William DuVall to replace the late Lane Staley in 2007. That comeback trail has led to the also-reactivated Jane's Addiction and Alice In Chains teaming up to cross North America under the Rockstar Uproar touring festival banner.
Farrell couldn't be happier about reconnecting with Cantrell.
"I performed with Jerry at Sing Sing prison [for a benefit documented by MC5's Wayne Kramer] probably two years ago. That was the last time we hung out," says Farrell about Alice In Chains' central figure. "But other than that we had really lost touch...

What with the release of their incredible new album, ‘The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here’, earlier this month, we thought we should get some essential Alice tracks buzzing round your head.
The Seattle-based band were lumped in with the Grunge explosion of the late-eighties, early-nineties, but were never really belonged to it. Always seen as more of a “dirgey”, doom-tinged band with a healthy Sabbath influence. In fact, Alice were always the majority of Metal-heads and Metal bands, band of choice from the North-West city. Metal fans themselves, the band were comfortable with their Hard Rock/Metal tag. Invited along on the 1990 Clash Of The Titans, predominantly, Thrash Metal tour featuring Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, as the only non-Thrash band, opening every stop on the world tour. Metallica drummer, Lars Ulrich cites second album, ‘Dirt’, as one of his favorite albums ever released and three of the ‘tallica boys were present...

Daft Punk stays at the No. 1 spot on The Billboard 200 this week with “Random Access Memories,” despite a 73% drop in sales. That means it still sold 93,000 copies. Alice in Chains’ new “The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here” debuts at No. 2 with 61,000. It’s the rock band’s second album with lead singer William DuVall; the previous 2009 album “Black Gives Way to Blue” peaked at No. 5 on the chart, but bowed with 126,000 copies.

Daft Punk is holding strong—relatively speaking—at the top of this week’s Billboard charts. The group’s Random Access Memories sold 93,000 copies in its second week in stores and 432,000 copies in the states to date. Not bad for a somewhat obtuse electronic record made by a couple of French guys in robot outfits. In a startling demonstration of how weirdly polarized the country’s music marketplace is, Alice In Chains’ The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here came in number two this week, moving 61,000 copies in its first week out.

Industry sources forecast the album might sell around 60,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, June 2. Alice in Chains was last in the top two with its self-titled 1995 set, which debuted at No. 1 on that year's Nov. 25 chart. It would be their final studio release with singer Layne Staley, who died in 2002. The band regrouped in

The French duo’s set drops considerably from the 335,000 this week to sell between 90,000-100,000 copies, but that’s still enough to give it a handy lead over Alice in Chains’ “The Devil Put Dinosaurs” here, which will sell up to 65,000 copies for No. 2 and John Fogerty’s “Wrote A Song For Everyone” and Little Mix’s “DNA,” both of which are on target to sell between 45,000-50,000 for No. 3 and No. 4, according to Hits...
