The White House posted a "hype" video on its official social media channels highlighting military tensions with Iran. The video features a montage of U.S. military strikes and operations, set to the 1991 Metallica hit "Enter Sandman."

The clip includes a voiceover from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a closing quote from President Trump: "I was the hunted, and now I'm the hunter." This follows a similar incident in July 2025, where the Pentagon was forced to remove a promotional drone video after Metallica issued a copyright strike for the unauthorized use of the same track. As of Thursday afternoon, the new White House video remains active online.

Billy Idol didn't hold back during a recent appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, reflecting on the extreme lengths he went to during his battle with addiction. The 70-year-old punk icon candidly admitted that he turned to smoking crack as a way to get off heroin, telling Maher with a laugh, "It worked."
The revelation ties into his new documentary, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, where he reflects on the "chaos of the ’80s," including a near-fatal overdose where he recalled "turning blue" after snorting heroin. He also discusses the notorious motorcycle crash that nearly ended his career and his life.

Now identifying as "California sober," the legendary rocker says he is "super lucky" to have survived his past and hasn't touched cocaine in 20 years.

During the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon Osbourne and her son Jack addressed a copyright lawsuit filed by rock photographer Neil Zlozower. The legal action, originally filed in February 2025, centers on photos of the rock legend that were shared on social media without permission or payment for usage. The lawsuit argues that the use of these photos allowed for monetization and financial benefit across Ozzy’s social platforms, which reach millions of followers.

Sharon expressed her frustration during the episode, noting that Zlozower was a long-time acquaintance who even attended her wedding. She condemned the $50,000 claim, stating that the photo in question was only visible for a couple of days. While Sharon initially suggested the photo was on Ozzy's website, Jack clarified that the images were actually posted to his social media pages. Sharon further called out Zlozower’s history of litigation, suggesting he now makes a living by suing various artists rather than through active photography.

Josh Katz, frontman of the rock band Badflower, has confirmed that the band’s current tour will proceed despite recent vocal issues that led to an emotional breakdown during a performance in Salt Lake City. During the show, Katz told the audience he was "done with this tour" due to the immense stress and uncertainty surrounding his vocal performance.

In a subsequent video update, Katz clarified that the tour is not canceled and that he feels supported enough to continue. He revealed that the struggle is "messing me up on a mental health level" even more than a physical one, describing the pressure of not knowing how his voice will perform until the first note of a show. Katz expressed gratitude for the "incredible advice and support" he has received from fellow singers. The tour, which supports the band's 2025 album No Place Like Home, resumed in Seattle on March 4th.

John Frusciante, the influential guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, celebrates his 56th birthday today, March 5, 2026. Born in New York City in 1970, Frusciante joined the band in 1988 at just 18 years old, playing a pivotal role in their most commercially and critically successful eras, including the multi-platinum albums Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication, and Stadium Arcadium.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, Frusciante is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, known for his emotive playing and signature Fender Stratocaster tone. After rejoining the band for a third time in late 2019, he has since appeared on the 2022 albums Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen.

Skindred has released an official music video for their latest single, "Can I Get A," directed by Steve Clarke. The track serves as the third advance single from the band’s ninth studio album, You Got This, which is scheduled for release on April 17th via Earache Records.

The song is deeply personal for frontman Benji Webbe, who wrote the lyrics as a reflection on his upbringing as an orphan and his relationship with his older brother. Webbe stated that the track is intended to empower listeners, drawing from his own experience of using music to navigate a difficult childhood and avoid the pitfalls of his environment. He emphasized the message of living in the moment and not focusing on what one lacks, but rather on the potential to become whatever they desire.
