Despite pouring rain, rock fans packed a sold-out PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, for a spectacular stop of Sammy Hagar's limited-run Best of All Worlds Tour. Drenched but incredibly enthusiastic concertgoers sporting Van Halen, Springfield, and Hagar merchandise filled the venue to witness a powerhouse lineup celebrating nearly every era of Hagar’s historic musical career.

Opening the evening, Rick Springfield brought an undeniable wave of energy and fun to the amphitheater despite weather constraints cutting into his time slot. Working the stage in a checkered leather jacket—which he later ditched—Springfield delighted the audience with signature hits like "Human Touch" and "Don't Talk to Strangers," eventually making his way right up to the fans at the edge of the stage. He closed his high-octane set with a massive, venue-wide singalong to his legendary number-one anthem, "Jessie's Girl."

Shortly after, Sammy Hagar took the stage alongside an elite band of rock veterans including bassist Michael Anthony, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Greg Phillinganes. Hagar playfully acknowledged the stormy weather by kicking off the show with a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” before launching straight into the Van Halen classic “Why Can't This Be Love.”

The hit-heavy setlist seamlessly bridged Hagar's diverse catalog,pairing solo anthems like "Heavy Metal," "There's Only One Way to Rock," and "I Can't Drive 55" with Van Halen staples such as "Cabo Wabo," "Runaround

Hard rock mainstays The Pretty Reckless have officially released Dear God, their highly anticipated fifth studio album and first full-length record since 2021's Death by Rock and Roll. Led by powerhouse frontwoman Taylor Momsen, the new album leans into the band's most personal songwriting to date, seamlessly balancing massive, arena-ready rock anthems with moments of deep reflection. Tracks such as "When I Wake Up" and "Love Me" capture the group's signature sonic intensity, while standout cuts like "Devil In Disguise (Michelle's Song)" dive into themes of grief and healing with a striking sense of vulnerability.

Produced by the collaborative team of Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips, and Jonathan Wyman, Dear God arrives during one of the most successful chapters of the band's career. The album's charge is led by the single "When I Wake Up," which recently clinched the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. This achievement marks the band's historic ninth No. 1 single, extending their record for the most chart-toppers by a female-fronted or solo woman-led act in the chart's history. The new record is available on all major music platforms today.

Which track from Dear God are you diving into first—the high-octane anthems or the more vulnerable, introspective songs?

Horror-rock heavyweights Ice Nine Kills have officially dropped the highly anticipated first installment of their massive gaming crossover, unleashing the official music video for "Play Dead (Part 1)" today.

The track and its accompanying cinematic visual serve as an official collaboration with the hit asymmetrical survival-horror game Dead by Daylight. Blending the band's signature theatrical metalcore breakdowns with the dark, slasher-inspired lore of the gaming franchise, the new release delivers a bloody treat for both "Psychos" and gamers alike. Part 1 plunges viewers directly into a high-stakes, terrifying narrative that perfectly mirrors the tension of the entity's realm.

Boston-based blues trio GA-20 has ignited a massive online debate about the aviation industry's treatment of musicians' property after sharing a viral video of a pre-flight TSA security checkpoint ordeal. The incident occurred at San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport in California, where an overzealous agent insisted on physically dismantling a high-end Mono Creators guitar case.

According to the band—which features guitarist Matthew Stubbs, vocalist/guitarist Cody Nilsen, and drummer Josh Kiggans—all members hold TSA PreCheck status. Despite this, the agent refused to run the case through the X-ray machine until he had spent 20 minutes ripping out the interior padding and stuffing, which he was then unable to put back together. The band noted that the physical swabbing of the case wasn't deemed enough by the agent, rendering the $380 premium gig bag completely ruined. "The gig bag is trash now," the band shared on social media, noting sarcastically that they were handed a business card to file an email complaint.

The viral clip quickly drew outrage from the music community, with prominent guitarists like Guthrie Trapp calling the situation "f*cking insanity" and singer-songwriter Bones Owens echoing frustrations regarding a widespread lack of care and common sense toward musicians' livelihoods during air travel. Official TSA policy notes that musical instruments must undergo screening and physical inspection at checkpoints, advising travelers to inform officers if an instrument requires special care—though GA-20's experience shows that communication doesn't always prevent disaster.

Have you ever had a nightmare experience trying to get your musical gear or valuable equipment through airport security?

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is facing heavy backlash from pop music fans after labeling today's mainstream popular music "crap" in a new interview with The Irish Times. Reflecting on his own upbringing, Hammett reminisced about a time when learning an instrument required intense personal dedication and ear training. "I kind of lament [not having] those days when people had to really struggle to learn, because it’s all in the struggle," Hammett explained, noting that while the technical precision of modern internet-taught musicians is impressive, he feels the creative soul of songwriting has suffered. He went on to add, "right now, songwriting and pop music is crap... Because I’ll say it again, K-R-A-P. Crap. Sorry for all you pop fans out there".

The blunt comments arrive hot on the heels of another recent controversy involving the thrash metal icon. Just last week, Hammett turned heads and ignited the internet when he wore a shirt reading “Taylor Swift Is a CIA Psyop” during Metallica's performance in Budapest, Hungary. While the wardrobe choice appeared to be a joke, it quickly drew the ire of dedicated "Swifties". The tension only amplified a few shows later in Dublin, Ireland, when Hammett accidentally fell off the stage while playing "Seek & Destroy"—an incident that ecstatic pop fans quickly celebrated online as swift cosmic karma. Metallica is currently preparing to wrap up their European run in London before heading into their massive 24-date "Life Burns Faster" residency at the Las Vegas Sphere starting this October.

Do you think Kirk has a point about modern songwriting losing its edge, or is he just being an out-of-touch rock purist?
