Rammstein have addressed the sexual assault allegations in a statement that the band released thanking fans for support during their European tour, stating that they are "baseless and grossly exaggerated".
Delivered in their native German, here is a translation that was done online, "We want to say a big thank you to all of our fans, our friends and visitors to our concerts. Thank you for your support, your warmth and support on this 2024 tour. We could feel it everywhere and felt carried on a wave full of emotions. It was an honor to be able to play for you, to be a part of these happy moments and the joy we shared. Because of you, we are a band that has found its joy in music and on stage again. Every concert was a healing act for us. We thank you for that. (continue)
The Annual BOWL FOR RONNIE Celebrity Bowling Party, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, is set for Thursday, November 14, 2024. The event, to be held at PINZ Bowling Center in Studio City, California, will once again be hosted by television and radio personality Eddie Trunk, who is heard on SiriusXM's 103 Faction Talk channel.

The tour features FEAR headlining on select dates (+ Italian punk band GIUDA) with D.O.A and WAR ON WOMEN championing the full run of northeast and midwest cities Aug 1st - 11th. This line-up is giving a full tank of in your face high-energy counterculture, reminiscent of a school bus full of punks barreling down the highway in The Decline Of Western Civilization.
Canadian punk band D.O.A are often referred to as being among the "founders" of hardcore punk, and have been churning out their politically-charged soundtrack worldwide for the last 25 years. "The D.O.A./War On Women tour this August is gonna be a kick ass, over the top, wild punk rock tour! That is a certainty, as you have two of the most political and in your face rip it up live bands in the world. I can't wait!!!" - Joey Sh*thead/D.O.A. (continue)

Better Lovers, who release their debut album, Highly Irresponsible, on Oct. 25 via SharpTone Records, have announced their first slate of North American tour dates in support of the 10-song release, with the five-week trek kicking off on Nov. 3 in Asheville, N.C.
A preview of the eagerly-awaited debut album arrived last week with "A White Horse Covered in Blood," along with its Eric Richter-produced video. Jordan Buckley: "Writing and recording our first full length was slightly more surgical than the EP, but had a similar lack of restraint. I feel more pressure giving a quote for this press release than I felt all winter in Will's studio. I got to wake up every day and watch the masters perfect their craft. I was a student. It was a playground. Everything was funny. We were reading each other's minds. Even creating our own language at some points. I didn't know if I was watching my closest friends write music, or if I was watching music use us to exist. The voice in my head warning me how Highly Irresponsible it was to hop on this bull again was gone. Replaced by big ideas, inside jokes, and a rejuvenated love for helping to write songs that don't sound like anything else. Humans and animals alike are programmed to do wild things for what they love. Highly Irresponsible things. And we love what we've created. We know you will too." (continue)
(hennemusic) Metallica is streaming pro-shot video of a performance of its 1986 instrumental, "Orion", from a July 12 show in Madrid, Spain. The "Master Of Puppets" classic was featured during the first of two events at the city's Metropolitano Stadium as part of the band's ongoing M72 World Tour.
"Orion" was primarily written by Cliff Burton for the group's third studio set; the bassist was tragically killed in the band's bus accident in Sweden while on tour in the fall of 1986. (continue)
The 55th anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Green River" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: After already releasing the hit album Bayou Country at the beginning of the year, Creedence Clearwater Revival released Green River in August 1969 and Willy and the Poor Boys just before Christmas. Those latter two veritable greatest hits packages loaded with "Bad Moon Rising", "Lodi", "Green River", "Down on the Corner", "Fortunate Son", and "Don't Look Now" were, like the two preceding Creedence Clearwater Revival albums, the artistic vision of one John Fogerty. Even as he wrote all of the original songs, sang every one, and provided the chunky lead guitar, John Fogerty also produced the distinctive "swamp rock" sound of every CCR album, including those THREE in 1969.
