What’s happening

Kid Rock has voiced sharp criticism over the NFL selecting twenty-five-time Grammy Award winner Jay-Z to headline the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The comments follow last year's event, where Kid Rock performed for an alternative halftime showcase after opposing the league's previous artist selection.

Appearing on Fox News, the musician openly questioned the league's choice to spotlight the rap icon for the major stadium performance.

"Nothing against JAŸ-Z… But it seems like there's a little bit of a DEI hire there going on," Kid Rock said regarding the selection.

Meanwhile, the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell expressed excitement over the partnership with Roc Nation, highlighting Jay-Z's global cultural impact and over 140 million records sold worldwide across his thirty-year career.

What are your thoughts on Kid Rock's reaction to the halftime show announcement?

KISS is giving fans an unprecedented inside look at the closing chapter of their legendary fifty-year career with the upcoming documentary Kiss: End Of The Road. Directed by DJ Viola, the film chronicles the unseen camaraderie, conflicts, and emotion driving the band toward their historic final performance at Madison Square Garden.

"The documentary takes everyone along with us to see and be a part of all the unseen moments that made this last tour one of the wildest, most memorable rides of our career," says guitarist and vocalist Paul Stanley. "We can't wait for the world to see it through our eyes for the very first time and relive the magic of these shows."

Presented by Mercury Studios, the documentary will debut through a worldwide live streaming event on KissOnline.com on November 19, featuring a seven-day on-demand viewing window before rolling out to additional platforms.

Did you catch the band live on their farewell run, and will you be tuning in to see their final curtain call from behind the scenes?

Korn took over television screens on this day in 1999 with a featured cameo on South Park. The band starred in the animated series for the Halloween special Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery.

During the episode, the band debuted their track Falling Away From Me from the album Issues. Fans were treated to the song on the broadcast just one day before it was officially released.

Do you remember watching this South Park episode when it first hit the airwaves?

Disturbed is officially taking the celebration of their 5x platinum debut album The Sickness back on the road in 2027 with a newly announced run across New Zealand, Australia, and Asia. Although the band previously indicated they planned to take much of 2027 off, those plans have changed to make room for the massive international tour.

Each night will feature two full sets from the group, dedicating one performance entirely to their pivotal debut record and delivering a second set packed with their greatest hits. The run kicks off on April 22 in Auckland before traveling through Australia and wrapping up with stops in Tokyo, Taipei, Manila, and beyond. Presales for Australia and New Zealand begin October 28, followed by the general public onsale on October 30.

Neil Young has filed a 10 million dollar copyright infringement lawsuit against Donald J. Trump's political action committee over the repeated, unauthorized use of his classic 1989 track Rockin' in the Free World. The legal action filed in federal court specifically challenges the song being used as walkup music at midterm election rallies, including an October 12 appearance in Youngstown, Ohio.

This marks the second legal battle between the veteran songwriter and Trump, following a 2020 lawsuit that was settled after campaign representatives agreed never to play the song again without permission. The newly filed complaint asserts that the track is "a blistering anthem that contrasts the hollow promises of American political rhetoric with the harsh realities faced by the poor, homeless and forgotten" while adding that "the song is the opposite of everything that Donald J. Trump stands for."

What are your thoughts on artists taking legal action to block political campaigns from playing their music at rallies?

Five Finger Death Punch is wrapping up the North American leg of their 20th Anniversary World Tour by giving back in a massive way. The multi-platinum hard rock titans have delivered a $200,000 donation to support Team USA athletes preparing for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.

Presented on the tour's final night at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, the funds were raised by allocating a portion of every ticket sold to USA Judo and USA Cycling programs. With United States Olympic and Paralympic teams receiving no direct federal funding, contributions like this are vital to keeping athletes equipped and competitive on the world stage.

"We cheer for our athletes when they step onto the world stage representing our country, but we also want to stand behind them during the years of work it takes to get there," says founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory. "I started judo at nine years old, and I still compete today. I know what it can give a person, how it shapes your mind, builds discipline, and teaches you to face adversity. Those lessons stayed with me far beyond the mat."

What do you think of rock acts using their platform to support the next generation of American athletes?

Slipknot is facing scrutiny from fans over sluggish ticket sales for their upcoming July 3, 2027 performance at Wembley Stadium alongside special guests Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore, and Hatebreed. Online discussions have erupted across social channels, with supporters debating the steep admission costs, recent lineup shifts, and the choice of support acts as primary reasons for the slow movement of seats.

While some concertgoers emphasize that the event remains many months away, others believe the turnout is abnormally weak for a venue of this scale. In discussions detailing the current demand, one fan claimed, "Wembley is NOT selling out. They have had the worst Wembley sale in 10 years, wild." Another supporter echoed the financial burden of attending, sharing, "I love Slipknot but not like '£1000 trip to London to see Manson' love Slipknot. Would've preferred an arena tour."

Are rising ticket prices and polarizing tour packages starting to deter stadium crowds, or do you expect Wembley to fill up before show day?

Alice Cooper opened up about the darkest chapter of his substance abuse battle during an appearance on his Devil On My Shoulder book tour at the Glasgow Pavilion Theatre. Reflecting on the depths of his cocaine and crack addiction in the early 1980s, the shock rock pioneer revealed that multiple records from that era remain a complete blur.

"I wrote three albums like that, and don't remember recording them. I don't remember writing them. I don't remember touring with them," Cooper admitted. "I remember little bits of it. But that was truly a scary period."

Following the release of his book Devil On My Shoulder, Cooper reflected on maintaining his sobriety for over four decades, calling his complete lack of temptation a modern-day miracle after surviving that harrowing era.

Which Alice Cooper album from the early eighties stands out to you the most?
