Jack Black has spoken about the future of Tenacious D, the comedy rock duo he co-founded with guitarist Kyle Gass, following their sudden halt in touring due to a controversy. The decision to end the tour prematurely was made after Gass made a controversial remark during a show in Sydney, Australia. During his live birthday wish on stage, Gass joked about missing Trump next time, referring to an attempt on the former Republican presidential candidate’s life, which immediately caused a negative reaction.

Whenever I hear certain tunes playing on my radio or preferred streaming platform, there’s a moment when I find myself muttering, “Is this it once more?” More often than not, my instinct is spot-on. For example, songs by Michael Bolton can sometimes leave me wondering, “Why does this keep coming up?”

Greetings, music enthusiasts! Prepare yourself for what could possibly be the most exhilarating new album release month in a while. After a relatively sparse few months (still featuring some crucial releases), September is set to deliver an abundance of choices. If you’re on the hunt for an early Christmas present, there are at least five options waiting for you.

As a dedicated gamer (or guitar hero, if you will), I’ve noticed that top-tier players often embody a blend of technical prowess, soulful melodies, inventive ideas, and an unyielding passion for their art. Let’s delve into some defining attributes that set great guitarists apart. To start off, there’s no escaping the need for some technical chops. Nailing fundamental techniques like picking, strumming, fingerpicking, bending, sliding, and hammer-ons/pull-offs is non-negotiable.

According to available records, adding their latest collaborative track titled “Now and Then” to the list, The Beatles have officially released a total of 214 songs, all of which are quite impressive.

Individuals who argue that hip-hop music sometimes lacks enough peculiarity might find it intriguing to check out the visuals for A$AP Rocky’s latest “Tailor Swif” single. Immediately, viewers are plunged into the artist’s eccentric universe, where they’ll encounter a dog behind the wheel and a nude man smoking on the hood.

In case you missed it: The Beastie Boys have initiated a lawsuit against Brinker International, the parent company of Chili’s, claiming they illegally used the iconic, rebellious-sounding song “Sabotage” in a 2022 social media ad without proper permission. The lawsuit was filed by two surviving members of the band, Adam Horovitz and Michael Diamond, along with the executor of the late member, Adam Yauch’s estate. Since Yauch’s will prohibits the use of his music in commercial advertisements, this case holds special importance for the group.

The Oasis band is highly admired in the United Kingdom, a fact that’s well-known to many. It’s understandable why they should be, even though they might not have surpassed the legendary status of the Beatles, as Noel Gallagher once stated when under the influence. However, he later retracted his statement, acknowledging that he was intoxicated at the time.

It’s worth noting that the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, weren’t exactly struggling financially before, but if they desired an increase in their earnings, they picked an effective method. The brothers of Oasis revealed earlier this week their intention to embark on a regional tour, primarily covering the UK and Ireland, slated for the summer of 2025. As reported by The Sun, the band stands to make a substantial sum from this tour.

There have been three main iterations or phases of Pink Floyd throughout their five-decade musical career, as different artists held control at various points. During certain periods, multiple band members contributed creatively, often equally.
