Rage Against The Machine have reportedly turned down an offer to headline the 2027 Coachella festival in Indio Valley, California.

The politically charged Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees boast a long history with the desert event, having headlined its first edition in 1999 before returning to the stage in 2007. However, the quartet has remained inactive since August 2022, when frontman Zack de la Rocha severely tore his Achilles tendon early into their reunion run. According to recent reports, the band "were reportedly being pursued to headline the 2027 ‘Coachella‘ festival, but opted to turn the event down" alongside pop act BTS.

With festival organizers now reportedly aiming for alternate headliners across the April weekends, do you think we will ever see the rap metal pioneers reunite on stage again?

Born on October 30, 1965, in Marylebone, London, Gavin Rossdale rose to worldwide prominence as the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and primary songwriter of the British rock outfit Bush. The band exploded onto the international scene with their 1994 multi-platinum debut album, Sixteen Stone, dominating airwaves with monumental alternative hits like Comedown, Glycerine, and Machinehead. Over a career spanning more than three decades, Rossdale has steered Bush through millions of records sold, major festival headlines, and sustained rock radio relevance.

Defined by his gravelly vocal delivery, emotionally charged lyrics, and driving guitar riffs, Rossdale helped shape the soundscape of nineties alternative rock while maintaining an enduring creative presence on subsequent releases such as Razorblade Suitcase and The Science of Things. His commanding presence on stage and consistent dedication to touring have kept the band at the forefront of modern rock culture.

Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Zacky Vengeance is firing back against criticism surrounding the band's use of artificial intelligence for their latest release visuals. After dropping a cover of the Misfits track "Horror Business" exclusively for their Deathbats fan club, online backlash mounted over allegations that the accompanying cover art was AI-generated.

Rather than apologizing, Vengeance took directly to social media to defend the medium and critique the design industry. "I actually fully embrace AI. While I love physical art and the talented people who create it (myself being one of them) I also think the majority of designers I have worked with over the past 20 years are lazy and allowed themselves to be replaced due to complacency and greed," Vengeance stated. "I prefer my prompts and the collective hive mind and efficiency of the future."

The guitarist argued that rejecting technological evolution will not stop progress, framing AI as an expansion of possibilities rather than the death of creativity.

Do you agree with Zacky Vengeance's perspective on AI in music art, or should bands stick strictly to traditional designers?

Stone Temple Pilots are taking a patient, deliberate approach after nearly seven years without releasing any new music. Frontman Jeff Gutt explained that the band members are currently prioritizing separate creative pursuits before regrouping. Guitarist Dean DeLeo and bassist Robert DeLeo have both released solo records, while Gutt is currently focused on finishing a solo project he originally paused when he first joined the band.

"It has to happen organically where it's something that we're doing in the moment. It can't be something that's really pre-planned too much; otherwise it doesn't… Those things don't tend to work out," Gutt explained. "So, yeah, we're just working on our other things right now, and when we get to that, it'll happen. It'll probably happen quickly too, because that's how those things tend to go."

Alongside original members Robert, Dean, and drummer Eric Kretz, Gutt maintains that the chemistry will spark naturally once everyone wraps their outside obligations and enters the room together.

What are your thoughts on Jeff Gutt fronting Stone Temple Pilots, and what do you hope to hear when the band eventually writes new material?

Tom Morello has officially debuted the music video for Everyone Gets Everything They Want, the title track from his first solo rock album released via Mom + Pop Music. Directed by Isabella Margolis, the visual delivers a striking companion to an LP built on high-octane rock, social justice, and fierce resistance against political turmoil.

"The record is anchored by Morello's revolutionary fretwork, blending thunderous riffs, otherworldly solos, and an uncompromising lyrical vision." Across the project, the legendary Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist unites a powerhouse lineup of guests, featuring Serj Tankian, Kneecap, and Beartooth, alongside his fifteen-year-old guitar prodigy son Roman Morello, who co-wrote five tracks on the album.

What do you think of Tom Morello's latest music video and the heavy collaborative sound on this record?

Mammoth has announced an amicable split with longtime touring drummer Garrett Whitlock ahead of their upcoming international schedule. Whitlock has been a core piece of the band's catalog, playing on all three of the group's studio albums to date.

The band shared the update directly with fans as they prepare to resume their schedule: "Touring drummer Garrett Whitlock and Mammoth have agreed to amicably part ways. We thank Garrett for his time with Mammoth and wish him the best in all his future endeavors."

Nathan Bulla of Intervals and Protest the Hero will step behind the kit for drumming duties on the continuation of The End tour. The run launches October 31st in Santiago, Chile, before heading to Europe shortly after.

Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen has officially announced the venue and date for the industrial metal pioneers' final live performance. Following the arrival of their final studio album, Hate To Go – Take Out Or Delivery, the band plans to conclude their touring cycle exactly one year later with a farewell show at the KIA Forum in Inglewood, California.

Jourgensen remains adamant that this retirement will stick rather than turning into an endless goodbye tour, anticipating a massive night filled with guest appearances. When asked if he will feel sad once it all comes to an end, the frontman made it clear he intends to exit quickly:

"No. I’m gonna be in my fucking house before they even let people backstage. Bill Burr will helicopter me home. And that night, a lot of people that have said that I’ve influenced them and all that, the whole night is gonna be a procession of just people saying goodbye… But the last show’s gonna be a lot of people you know that are gonna be saying ‘hey’ and jamming with us, and it’ll be fun… It’ll be a fun last show."

Do you think this will truly be the final chapter for Ministry, or will the stage eventually call Al Jourgensen back?

Skid Row have officially welcomed New Jersey vocalist Justin Sargent as their new lead singer to usher in the band's 40th anniversary. Following an extensive worldwide search and more than two years away from the stage, the legendary hard rock group introduced their new frontman with a powerhouse cover and music video of The Who's classic anthem "Won't Get Fooled Again," produced by Nick Raskulinecz.

"I've been singing Skid Row songs for years, but never imagined I'd actually be joining the band! It's an incredible honor to be part of something with such a legendary history. The chemistry and energy we’ve found together over the past several months has been amazing. I have tremendous respect for the band’s legacy, but I’m even more excited about what lies ahead. I can’t wait to get out there, connect with the fans, and give them everything I've got."

The band will return to the stage starting in March 2027, kicking off an extensive North American run that includes festival stops at Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple.

What do you think of Justin Sargent taking over vocal duties, and how does the new lineup sound tackling The Who?

Slipknot is moving full steam ahead on their next full-length record as drummer Eloy Casagrande confirms he has officially finished tracking his parts. Following the release of the standalone single Arsenal in September, the band built the new material from months of extended studio jam sessions alongside producer Matt Wallace.

Casagrande revealed that the studio approach prioritized raw human energy over modern studio correction, capturing the aggressive intensity of a live set without relying on punch-ins. "Yeah, actually, I just finished recording the drums, so all the drums, they are recorded. They are done," Casagrande explained. "Most of the songs that I did, they're just one take. It's just like playing a show — just like playing a song in a show. And we want to keep that real. We don't wanna do overdubs."

How do you think Eloy Casagrande's aggressive, single-take drumming style will shape the overall sound of the next Slipknot album?

Ozzy Osbourne is being remembered by his daughter Kelly Osbourne through a deeply emotional birthday tribute shared on Instagram. Marking her special day without her father, Kelly posted a touching photograph alongside an old birthday card from the late heavy metal icon to express her grief.

The tribute comes following Ozzy's passing on July 22, 2025, in Birmingham, England, which occurred just 17 days after his final performance where he played solo before reuniting with Black Sabbath. Kelly reflected on the profound void left behind and the memory of their close bond.

"Birthdays are a reminder of the life you gave me, Daddy," Kelly wrote. "I wish you were still here to celebrate it with me. Every candle I blow out carries the same wish… Just one more moment with you."

What is your favorite memory or performance from Ozzy Osbourne's legendary career?
