Around 10:20 p.m. on Saturday night, a shadowy group of figures walked onto the Farm Aid stage at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana. This was supposed to be the moment where Wille Nelson wrapped up the night, but there was no sign of the Red Headed Stranger or his band. Instead, another act was plugging in instruments on the darkened stage. There was no announcement of any kind, and the large screens on both sides of the stage went completely blank for the first time all day.

Shane Hawkins, the son of late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, sat behind the kit with his dad’s covers band Chevy Metal at a couple of recent California gigs. The young stickman showed off his dynamic chops during shows July 27th and 29th at Gold Pacific Studios in Newport Beach and The Canyon in Agoura Hills, respectively.
Taylor Hawkins formed Chevy Metal in 2013, and would routinely gig with the outfit until his passing in March 2022. Shane, meanwhile, has proven to be a very skilled drummer himself, as seen at Foo Fighters’ September 2022 tribute concerts for Taylor, as well as a guest appearance at the Foos’ recent Boston Calling gig.
Shane pounded his way through songs by Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Mötley Crüe, The Police, Thin Lizzy, and more over the two nights (setlists here and here). Fan-filmed footage of him playing the Crüe’s “Looks That Kill,” Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick,...

Jax Taylor is genuinely concerned about Tom Schwartz. During an exclusive Vanderpump Rules fan event, Taylor revealed that Schwartz definitely needs some time away from Tom Sandoval because Sandoval essentially “destroyed” Schwartz in the wake of Scandoval.

“I saw [Schwartz] on Father’s Day and I saw him the other day. He clearly said he is taking a break. And he said to me, too, he’s got to take a break mentally from Tom [Sandoval]. I mean, he’s destroyed that guy and that’s his business partner. If anything, he should have been loyal to him,” Taylor said during a FanRoom Live event.
Jax Taylor said Tom Schwartz’s problems extend far beyond Scandoval
Schwartz took a beating in the court of public opinion when the longtime affair was revealed between Sandoval and Raquel Leviss.

Stephen Stills and David Crosby didn’t always see eye to eye throughout the long history of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. But they were on good terms during the final years of Crosby’s life and even had plans to see each other shortly before Crosby died.
“When you’re young, if you’re not fighting, someone doesn’t care enough about the music,” Stills tells Rolling Stone. “When you get middle-aged, you should be able to do it without fighting. Later on, you turn into a curmudgeon, especially...

When original Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers drummer Stan Lynch was let go from the group in 1995 — or “excommunicated,” to use his own term —he started a new chapter of his life in Florida as a producer-songwriter and rarely looked back. His only encounter with Petty in the years that followed took place in 2002 at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and the only communication he can recall from guitarist Mike Campbell in the two decades since that night was a brief phone call in 2017 shortly after Petty died.

In 1989, Crystal Taliefero got a call from someone she knew from her days touring as a percussionist and backup singer in John Mellencamp’s band. He wanted to know if she was available for a recording session in New York and a possible tour with another artist. “I said, ‘Sure. With who?'” she says. “He goes, ‘With the Piano Man.’ I was trying to be cool, but I didn’t know who the Piano Man was.”

Don’t remember the supergroup the Buzzin’ Cousins? You’re not alone. Despite featuring five architects of Americana music, the collaboration remains a blind spot for most music fans, even those who may be hardcore devotees of the artists involved.
And what a group of names they were: John Mellencamp, Dwight Yoakam, Joe Ely, James McMurtry, and John Prine made up the Buzzin’ Cousins, Mellencamp’s lark of an answer to the Travelin’ Wilburys. The band’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-them status was by design, Mellencamp said.

Using the hypnotic magic of percussive rhythms, Beat Hunger features an influential group of artists including Grammy award-winning percussionists, Stewart Copeland of The Police and Dame Evelyn Glennie, Grammy award-winning DJ, Mix Master Mike, legendary drummers Sheila E., Kenny Aronoff, and Stephen Perkins, and break-through talents, Kristen Gleeson-Prata of BØRNS, and Rico Nichols, drummer for Kendrick Lamar.

John Fogerty delivered a roaring medley of classic Creedence Clearwater Revival cuts — "Travelin' Band," "Proud Mary" and "Fortunate Son" — on The Late Show Wednesday night to the delight of departing host David Letterman.
Strapped with a blue-and-white plaid-print guitar that matched his flannel, Fogerty and his band began with a frantic rendition of "Travelin' Band," with drummer Kenny Aronoff setting a blistering pace that carried the quartet into "Proud Mary." Though that performance was short and sweet, Fogerty fittingly delivered the song's famous first line — "Left a good job in the city,...

There's been a lot of speculation over which songs/recordings the producers of All Is By My Side (the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic starring OutKast's André 3000, currently filming in Ireland) will or won't have at their disposal without the approved consent of the Jimi Hendrix estate. In what I can't help but think is a semi-conniving sidetrack to Experience Hendrix LLC's blatant disapproval of the production, it's been announced (via Rolling Stone) that the film (set during Hendrix's pre-fame years in London, roughly 1966-1967) will instead feature new recordings of André 3000 performing many of the songs Hendrix himself covered during that time period.

The film will not, however, include any songs written by Hendrix, the rights to which are controlled by the late guitarist's estate.

In 1970, the British heavy metal band Black Sabbath released a song called Iron Man.
And although it was not inspired in any way by the Marvel Comics armour-clad superhero, it was an obvious choice for the soundtrack of the 2008 movie starring Robert Downey Jr and can be heard over the closing credits.
Taking the connection even further, Downey Jr can now be seen wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt (see below) in a scene in the new team-up movie Avengers Assemble.
With all those references, it's no surprise that Ultimate Classic Rock has decided to recast Marvel's superhero ensemble with rockers. So who did they pick?

David Cook has unveiled music video for his new single "The Last Goodbye". In this clip, he has the whole city of California thinking that he might be dead. His jacket, bag and wallet are found on shore, leading to a speculation that he has drowned. Oblivious to people's concern about his well-being, he stays in his room the whole day after returning from the beach.
The music video is directed by Nigel Dick (Britney Spears, Oasis, Nickelback), and was shot in Malibu earlier this month. "It would have been easy to just set the band up and do a broody performance video," Cook explained to EW. "But I wanted to do something a little more fun."
The concept of going Awol includes a story of the "American Idol" graduate making a "David Cook Feared Drowned" headline on local paper. "I'm going to frame it and hang it in the house,...
