What’s happening

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?

Turnstile turned the Washington Monument into a massive platform for global solidarity yesterday, drawing an estimated 60,000 attendees to a free benefit show in Washington, D.C. Teaming up with Human Concern International, the Baltimore melodic hardcore stars helped raise over $209,000 toward a $250,000 goal to support urgent humanitarian efforts in Palestine, Sudan, and Lebanon.

Frontman Brendan Yates took time during the landmark set to acknowledge the communal spirit of the hardcore movement: "We’re so grateful to have been raised by this scene, one that taught us that music not only reflects the artist making it but the people and the world and the suffering and the joy that surrounds it."

With the venue reaching maximum capacity and additional fans taking in the set from the outer barricades, the band tore through a 19-song setlist featuring favorites like "MYSTERY," "BLACKOUT," and "T.L.C. (TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION)." What are your thoughts on Turnstile using their platform for massive free benefit concerts like this?

Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx is addressing frontman Vince Neil's resilience on stage following serious health challenges. After Neil suffered his fourth stroke in December 2024, band discussions centered on his physical well-being, yet the vocalist adamantly pushed to perform high-energy material during the band's recently wrapped The Return Of Carnival Of Sins tour.

The trek celebrated both the twentieth anniversary of the original 2005 run and the band's forty-fifth anniversary. Sixx explained that Neil refused to pull punches or drop difficult tracks from the setlist, taking the stage with a clear mission to silence long-standing online criticism regarding his live performances.

"He's taken a lot of bricks in the face over the years for his vocals live and he doesn't like seeing that kind of stuff. So he really wanted to come in and not only prove to himself but to the fans that he's vocally totally capable."

Sixx highlighted that Neil came alive under the stage lights, proving his stamina while powering through demanding staples like "Red Hot."

Did you catch Mötley Crüe on their latest anniversary tour, and how do you feel about Vince Neil's vocal resilience on stage?

Three Days Grace has officially tapped former Breaking Benjamin drummer Shaun Foist to step behind the kit for their newly launched Alienation Tour. The sudden lineup adjustment comes after founding drummer and backing vocalist Neil Sanderson suffered a severe arm injury ahead of the trek.

Sanderson confirmed the diagnosis in a video update to fans, revealing that he "fully ruptured his bicep tendon off the bone" during outdoor activities and is scheduled for emergency surgery on October 27. While the injury prevents him from drumming, Sanderson plans to contribute keyboards and backing vocals on the road following missed appearances in Houston, San Antonio, and Rogers.

The extensive tour runs through late November with arena stops across Nashville, Denver, and Los Angeles. Are you catching Three Days Grace on this run, and what are your thoughts on Shaun Foist handling drum duties?

Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash recently looked back on the high-stakes reservations that almost prevented the band from joining Aerosmith on their landmark 1988 tour. Aerosmith had recently achieved sobriety, leaving their management intensely protective and anxious that the hard-partying newcomers might disrupt their recovery.

"We got the tour, which almost didn't happen because Aerosmith was freshly sober at that time. Their management was scared that we were going to go and muck that up," Slash explained. The opportunity held massive personal weight for the guitarist, who grew up idolizing the veteran rockers before opening for them starting July 17, 1988, at Poplar Creek Music Theater. "Aerosmith is one of my all-time favorite rock and roll bands and they had a huge influence on me. [It] was really integral to me picking up the guitar in the first place."

Were you lucky enough to catch Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith sharing the stage during that legendary 1988 tour?
