Happy Birthday to Michael Poulsen, the signature voice and creative engine behind Volbeat, who turns 51 today! Over the last two decades, the Danish frontman has carved out a completely unique lane in heavy music, seamlessly blending the swagger of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash with the thundering riffs of Metallica and Social Distortion. His ability to craft "Elvis-metal" anthems has transformed Volbeat from an underground European favorite into a global arena-conquering powerhouse with multiple platinum hits to their name.

While Volbeat remains a massive force, Michael has spent much of the last year revisiting his extreme metal origins with his death metal project, Asinhell. Their debut record, Impii Hora, has allowed him to flex the guttural vocal muscles and buzzsaw guitar tones that first defined his early days in Dominus. Whether he’s leading a massive sing-along at a summer festival or churning out old-school death metal riffs, Poulsen continues to be one of the most versatile and respected figures in the scene.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band officially launched their "Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour" on Tuesday night at Minneapolis’ Target Arena. In a powerful opening statement delivered in near darkness, Springsteen addressed the "dangerous times" facing the country, calling the tour a necessary effort to provide "hope and strength" through the power of rock ‘n’ roll. The 27-song setlist was heavy on thematic staples and rarities, including a cover of The Temptations’ "War"—performed for the first time since 2003—and a full-band premiere of "Streets of Minneapolis."

The performance featured Tom Morello, who has joined the lineup for the entirety of this trek. Highlights of the evening included a rare cover of Prince’s "Purple Rain" and a main set closer that featured a run of "The Rising," "The Ghost of Tom Joad," and "Badlands." Throughout the night, Springsteen utilized his platform to honor local activists and call for "resistance over complacency." The tour, which Springsteen noted was originally unplanned, continues through North America this spring and summer, with tickets currently available for upcoming stadium and arena dates.

Arnel Pineda has revealed that he tried to withdraw from Journey’s currently running farewell tour on multiple occasions before it launched. In a conversation with Rolling Stone, the frontman admitted that he reached out to his bandmates to express his desire to retire from the road, citing a combination of vocal health struggles and intense personal family matters. Pineda explained that he felt he was an "emotional wreck" and requested more time to focus on his private life, but noted that his attempts to quit or renegotiate the tour schedule went largely unanswered by the rest of the band.

Despite his initial hesitation, Pineda is moving forward as the lead vocalist for the massive trek, which kicked off in March and is expected to continue through 2027. "Obviously, they don't want to find another singer," Pineda remarked regarding the lack of response to his retirement emails. As the tour continues into its North American leg this summer, fans can expect the band to stick to their established lineup, even as questions about the group’s future beyond 2027 remain.

Happy Birthday to the one and only Arejay Hale, who turns 40 today! The Halestorm drummer and co-founder has spent more than two decades redefining what it means to be a powerhouse behind the kit. Known for his "big sticks," gravity-defying solos, and infectious onstage energy, Arejay remains one of the most charismatic performers in modern rock. Alongside his sister Lzzy Hale, he has anchored the band from their early days in Pennsylvania to their status as global Grammy-winning icons.

The milestone birthday finds Arejay exactly where he belongs: on stage. Halestorm is currently in the midst of a South American run, performing tonight at the RS Jockey Club in Porto Alegre, Brazil, alongside Guns N’ Roses. This leads into a headlining appearance at the Monsters of Rock Festival in São Paulo this weekend. Following the international leg, the band will return to the U.S. in May to kick off a summer of major festival dates and a highly anticipated fall tour with BABYMETAL. Here’s to four decades of rhythm and rock!

Happy Birthday Arejay!!

Butcher Babies have returned with a high-octane new single and music video titled "Black Dove." The track, described by the band as a "neck-breaker," was written by vocalist Heidi Shepherd and guitarist Henry Flury, with Shepherd also stepping behind the camera to direct the official video. Released through Judge & Jury Records—the label co-founded by legendary producer Howard Benson and Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace—the song follows the successful release of earlier singles "Sincerity" and "Lost In Your Touch."

In a sudden reversal, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has lifted the suspension of the Army flight crew involved in the recent Kid Rock helicopter incident. The crew had been grounded following a viral video showing two AH-64 Apache attack helicopters hovering low over the musician’s Nashville-area mansion, known as the "Southern White House." Hegseth announced the decision on social media Tuesday evening, stating there would be no punishment and no further investigation into the matter, simply telling the pilots to "carry on, patriots."

The 101st Airborne Division had originally initiated an investigation to review the circumstances of the flyover, which took place during what was described as a routine training mission. While the division emphasized its strict standards for aviation safety and professionalism, Hegseth's intervention effectively ends the inquiry. The incident had drawn criticism from those concerned about the use of military equipment for private displays, but it also received support from figures like Donald Trump, who suggested the pilots were likely just fans of the artist. Despite the controversy, the pilots are now cleared to return to duty without record of disciplinary action.

Appearing on Jamie Kennedy’s Hate To Break It To Ya podcast, Jack Osbourne addressed the ongoing mystery of the major artist booted from the "Back to the Beginning" concert. The June 2025 event in Birmingham served as an emotional all-star sendoff for his father, Ozzy Osbourne, and Black Sabbath, with every participating act—including Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and Slayer—waiving their individual talent fees. Despite intense online speculation, Jack revealed he has "not seen a single accurate guess" regarding the identity of the artist who was ultimately uninvited from the bill.

Jack explained that while the production offered to cover "hard costs" like crew and travel, one specific band requested an amount in the "high hundreds of thousands of dollars" just for their expenses. Jack expressed frustration, suggesting the musicians themselves likely knew about the demand, despite his willingness to give them the "benefit of the doubt" that it may have been a management decision. While Jack continues to rule out certain names—including Megadeth, Mötley Crüe, Iron Maiden, and Wolfgang Van Halen—he declined to name the offending group to avoid further "fallout."

Metallica’s non-profit organization, All Within My Hands (AWMH), has announced a donation of $125,000 to assist with flood relief efforts in Hawaii. The islands are currently grappling with what has been described as the worst flooding in over two decades, following a series of slow-moving "Kona Low" storms that caused an estimated $1 billion in damage. The grant is being distributed among three local organizations: The Hawaiian Council ($50,000), The Lāhui Foundation ($50,000), and Hui O He’e Nalu ($25,000). The Hawaiian Council has also pledged to match every dollar donated to its emergency fund up to $325,000, further amplifying the impact of the band's contribution.

The band’s philanthropic move was inspired in part by their personal ties to the islands—guitarist Kirk Hammett is a longtime resident—and a collaboration with actor Jason Momoa, a friend of the foundation who has been active on the ground with local relief efforts. This latest donation follows AWMH’s previous support for the state during the 2023 Maui wildfires and comes on the heels of the foundation’s record-breaking blood drive campaign with the Red Cross, which saw over 25,000 donations from the "Metallica Family" earlier this month. As recovery efforts continue for the hundreds of homes and farms damaged on O’ahu, Metallica’s foundation remains focused on its mission of supporting critical local services in times of disaster.

David Byrne appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night to perform his new track "When We Are Singing" and discuss the creative direction of his current tour, Who Is the Sky?. During the interview, which also featured fellow guest John Mulaney, Byrne explained his decision to shift from the gray, minimalist aesthetic of his previous American Utopia tour to a more vibrant and colorful production. "Times we live in, we need some color," Byrne told Colbert, describing the ensemble's matching blue jumpsuits and the highly choreographed, theatrical nature of the new performances.

The conversation took a more serious turn as Byrne addressed his choice to incorporate real ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) footage during the finale of "Life During Wartime." He explained that the video—which depicts a delivery worker on a bike successfully evading agents—is shown at the very end of the song to provide a powerful moment of reflection. Mulaney, who attended one of the tour’s early shows, noted that the footage received the "biggest, coolest reaction" he had ever seen from a live audience. The appearance comes as Byrne prepares for the next leg of his global tour, which continues to blur the lines between rock concert and performance art.
