“I found out something at the very last Kiss show that I did not know before the very last Kiss show. And it’s a major piece of miscommunication,” Sebastian told Eddie Trunk on the latter’s SiriusXM program [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “And I need to communicate with those guys because there’s been something that happened that is not accurate. I can’t tell you what it is, but the whole narrative of they don’t like me and I’m too crazy is complete bullshit. It’s not true.

Creed are reuniting for a massive tour in 2024, but what about new music? In a new interview, singer Scott Stapp discusses the possibility of the band writing and recording new songs.
“[Guitarist] Mark [Tremonti] and I were together a couple days ago doing something like, some secret thing I can’t share,” Stapp told host Eddie Trunk on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation. “But we were hanging out for a couple days and as we were hanging out, we just began talking about how we wrote [our 1999 album] Human Clay, and we wrote Human Clay while on the road touring My Own Prison.”
He continued, “And we wrote it at, during soundchecks, 80%, 90% of that record was written on stage during soundcheck. And you know what we’d do? We’d write a song and we’d get it tight and play it within three or four days of writing it, because we didn’t have...

Hard rock/heavy metal pundit Eddie Trunk celebrated 40 years in radio on Monday night (December 11th) with an all-star bash at the House of Blues in Las Vegas.
Many of the famous rockers Trunk has encountered and worked with across his four-decade career in the business showed out for the evening to play their respective hits. All proceeds from the event benefitted the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.
Among the performers were Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony — billed as “The Other Half (of Van Halen)” — and a host of “special guests” that included Alice Cooper, Sebastian Bach, Ace Frehley, Corey Taylor, Lita Ford, Geezer Butler, Mike Portnoy, Kevin Cronin, and Stephen Pearcy.
Hagar rocked “I Can’t Drive 55,” while Anthony sang Van Halen’s “Somebody Get Me a Doctor” with Portnoy on drums. Other highlights included Sebastian Bach tapping into his Skid Row years for “Monkey Business...

Zz Top were never really a ballad band. Think “La Grange,” “Tush,” and “Legs.” But for 1986’s Afterburner they tried their hand at a power ballad with “Rough Boy” — this was the Eighties after all. Earlier this week in Nashville, Keith Urban put his own spin on “Rough Boy” at a special event honoring Zz Top’s Billy Gibbons.
Urban was in attendance for the annual BMI Troubadour dinner, an industry event held each September by the performing-rights org to salute a select artist as its “Troubadour.” Last year’s went to Lucinda Williams,...

Ever since Kiss announced that they were wrapping up their final tour with two shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, there has been speculation of founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss joining the band onstage for a reunion.
In a new interview with Linea Rock (see below), Gene Simmons said that he’s extended multiple invitations to Frehley and Criss, who have both turned down the invites to play with Kiss during the final shows. This comes after a long and tiresome feud between the former members and the current Kiss faction — particularly founding members Simmons and Paul Stanley.
“For the fans — the older, older fans — the ones who’ve been around for 50 years, they’re old, and some of them wanna see Ace and Peter,” Simmons said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “The newer fans never saw them and they don’t know. But the older fans wonder about Ace and Peter.

Tony Iommi has revealed that Black Sabbath were approached to play a reunion set at the inaugural Power Trip festival, but he turned the offer down.
The massive fest is scheduled for October 6th through the 8th at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California — also the home of Coachella. The unprecedented lineup is stacked with some of the biggest names in rock and metal, including Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, and Tool (get tickets here).
Speaking on Sirius Xm’s Trunk Nation, Iommi confirmed that Black Sabbath were considered for the fest, but the guitarist shot down the idea himself, mainly due to uncertainties concerning the health of the original lineup members, including Ozzy. He added that he was surprised when Ozzy ended up being booked for the gig.

The retirement — or removal, depending on who you ask — of founding Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars set in motion a chain reaction of sorts. Rob Zombie guitarist John 5, who had been rumored to take over Mars’ role, was quickly announced as his replacement, and the Crüe promptly hit the studio and live stage with their new axeman.
Until now, we didn’t know what Rob Zombie thought about his trusty guitarist of 17 years moving on to another full-time gig. In a new interview with SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk, John 5 reflected on the moment when he broke the news to Zombie, who was understanding despite some reticence.
“We never had a negative word between us,” John 5 said of his relationship with Rob Zombie [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “And he’s my buddy and we made great music and great live shows together for 17 years, and we never really had a problem.

Ace Frehley recently gave Paul Stanley a week to apologize for a disparaging comment, but apparently all he got back from the Kiss singer-guitarist was a good old-fashioned “Fuck you!”
To quickly recap, last month Stanley told Howard Stern that a reunion with original Kiss members Frehley and Peter Criss would sound like “Piss.” Frehley, appearing on Eddie Trunk’s SiriusXM show last week, threatened to spill “dirt” on Stanley and Gene Simmons if he didn’t get an apology within seven days.
As promised, Frehley returned to Trunk’s show today (April 5th), a week later, with an update. When asked by Trunk if Stanley responded, Frehley said, “Yes, he did, not long after the show was over. I was blindsided by the phone call. … But instead of an apology, I got a five-second phone call which said, ‘Fuck you, Ace. I’m not going to apologize,’ and hung up.

Ace Frehley has blasted back at Paul Stanley after the latter insinuated that a Kiss reunion with the guitarist and drummer Peter Criss would sound like “Piss.”
In a new interview with SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk, the former Kiss axeman gave Stanley an ultimatum: If he doesn’t receive a formal apology within seven days, he’s going to uncover dirt on Stanley and Gene Simmons publicly.
Frehley is referring to inflammatory remarks made by Stanley during a recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show when Stern asked why Kiss didn’t perform at their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2014.
“They were demanding, quite honestly, that we play with the two original guys, Peter and Ace, and at this point, that would be demeaning to the band, and also would give some people confusion,” Stanley said. “‘Cause if you saw people onstage who looked like Kiss but sounded like that,...

The book will follow both Butler’s personal life as well as tell his side of the Black Sabbath story. This includes his working-class upbringing in Birmingham, the band’s “beginnings as a scrappy blues quartet,” and the internal struggles that led to Black Sabbath’s many lineup changes over the years.
“A rollicking, effusive, and candid memoir by the heavy metal musician and founding member of Black Sabbath,” reads the publisher’s thumbnail description, “covering his years as the band’s bassist and main lyricist through his later-career projects, and detailing how one of rock’s most influential bands formed and prevailed.”

In music’s metal subculture, the late singer Ronnie James Dio may still count as the genre’s most widely beloved figure, which makes him ripe for a documentary. He was almost completely uncontroversial, which doesn’t necessarily bode as well for such a treatment. The dude who popularized the so-called “devil horns” hand gesture was no demon. He just played one on MTV, or at least enjoyed dragging out the sinister imagery, even if in in real life he came off as a friendly upstate New York guy who’d made it big with a penchant for vaguely mystic imagery and a mountain-king-sized voice that could fill the biggest halls.

[[tmz:video id="0_qje3esuz"]] The Red Hot Chili Peppers aren't retiring anytime soon, at least not according to Flea -- but it might depend on who you ask in the band. The legendary bassist was in Switzerland -- where Rhcp's headlining the Paleo Festival -- and we asked him about the big rumor that this could be their last tour. Flea says that would be news to him, and anyone else in the band, because they've made no plans to hang it up.

Rush is a band that has never taken itself seriously. In the 33 years I have followed The Boys, I have come to regard them as musicians who have no trouble making fun of themselves and this is an aspect of their personalities that endears them to so many of us. The band’s use of the Three Stooges theme to open many of their concerts since the 1980’s and their amusing videos that open and close their later tours are proof that they don’t take themselves seriously.
In keeping in the spirit of such silliness, David Calcano’s 2015 book Rushtoons by Fantoons Vol. 2112 is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to our favorite band by some world-class artists who have created some beautiful cartoons that ape and good-naturedly poke fun at Rush’s famous album covers, making visual puns and humorous references to imagery that is as synonymous...

He truly has experienced pretty much every aspect of the music industry. Right now his biggest project is a show on VH1 Classic called That Metal Show.

Let’s get this out of the way: your favourite weird band is not on this list. Like the music business that spawned it, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a political animal. A list of obscure bands that you’ve just got to hear would be missing the point. So, sorry, no Husker Du for you. It’s the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, not the College Music Journal.
Keeping the nature of the institution in mind, this is a list of popular bands or artists who have yet to be inducted into the prestigious Hall. Some may find their way. Some will leave you saying, “Keep dreaming.” Some were just put here to annoy That Metal Show’s Eddie Trunk. The performers listed here not only had successful careers, but paved the way for others, including some who have already made it into the Hall.

Wall Township, N.J. (AP) — Kiss won't rock and roll all night — or at any point during the day, either — when they are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, the band said Sunday. The 40-year-old group is unable to agree on which lineup should perform during the April 10 ceremony in New York City, and has decided not to plug in at all. The dispute concerns whether original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss would join Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley in a live performance, or whether the current lineup of Stanley, Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer would play instead. In a message on its website, Kiss said it won't perform with any lineup, calling it "an emotional situation where there is no way to please everyone." "Our intention was to celebrate the entire history of Kiss and give credit to all members, including longtime...

It looks like Lindsay Lohan had an appetite for music on Tuesday night. Just prior to making her way over to the Dream Hotel in New York City, where the Liz & Dick star was arrested on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident after she allegedly hit a bystander with her car, LiLo was taking in a Slash concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom. "I see Lindsay Lohan was arrested last night," tweeted drummer Eddie Trunk, who opened for the former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist, along with the above photo. "She was standing next to me @Slash gig last night. I'm a bad influence..." While the "bad influence" remark was probably made in jest, one thing for certain is that alcohol...
