Slipknot have marked their return with the jarring surprise new single ‘Arsenal’, their first new music in three years and since the departure of Sid Wilson. Launched with a typically nightmarish music video directed by M Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan and starring Jackson White to match the harsh fever dream of the track itself, with frontman Corey Taylor spitting about how he “fought a fucking god and the god lost” and staring down naysayers as he warns: “I know I’m a hack and a has-been, but motherf*cker I’m a .45 and not a Mach 10.” Fans have been quick to highlight…
Well over a year after announcing he had the brain disorder normal pressure hydrocephalus and was taking an indefinite leave of absence from the road, Billy Joel has given an detailed update on his recovery, and explained why he has yet to book any concerts. “The doctors told me because of my job, which is playing rock and roll music very loud, that it was giving me something like a concussion every time I did a show,” he said in a new interview with SiriusXM’s Billy Joel Channel. “It was causing damage to my brain nerves and I could be…
When Amanda Krieg Thomas started looking for music to soundtrack Ryan Murphy’s new FX series The Shards, there was a lot to work with. The music supervisor had plenty of experience on Murphy productions, from seasons of Feud and American Horror Story to more recent shows like 9-1-1 and The Beauty. Murphy’s shows often center around music, using well-known tracks to further the plot, whether they’re part of the dialogue itself (what would Glee have been without Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’”?) or just setting a mood (nothing could be more unsettling than watching Jeffrey Dahmer make out with a mannequin…
In Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Donald Trump has finally met an adversary who truly understands the art of the deal — and it could threaten the entire premise of his presidency. There have been many self-inflicted catalysts to Donald Trump’s ruination: epic corruption, inflation and the soaring price of gas, the ceaseless angry old man posts and memes, ICE’s assault on the rule of law, the Supreme Court’s mullah-like extremism, his vanity, self-pity, cruelty, and of course the unprovoked, catastrophic failed war on Iran. They are all derived from Trump’s delusional belief in his nonexistent superpowers. But the downfall…
Slipknot‘s new song, “Arsenal,” contains everything in the band’s arsenal: Corey Taylor’s total rage, Jim Root and Mick Thomson’s aggro guitar, and all the thunder percussionists Clown and Tortilla Man and drummer Eloy Casagrande can muster. There’s also copious turntablism and keyboards, though after the departure of the ensemble’s DJ, Sid Wilson, and a new press photo that shows only eight members of the band, it’s unclear who’s responsible for all the scratching. Regardless, “Arsenal” recalls the total fury of Slipknot’s earliest days with Taylor screaming, “I got a lot to fuckin’ say/And if you didn’t listen, you didn’t hear…

Muse have had to change their social media handles to make way for Meta’s new AI tool. The Devon rock icons changed their handle on X/Twitter and Instagram from @Muse to @Musetheband, allowing Meta’s new AI tool, also called Muse, to take on their former usernames. The initial change earlier this summer caused much confusion and discussion among fans online, given the ease and convenience of their original social media domains that they’ve had for years. The AI assistant, which was rolled out in the United States this week, is designed to assist users with everyday tasks including responding to…

IFA, Europe’s answer to CES, once again took over Berlin over the last week. Like CES, the scale and scope of the technology conference is massive, with everything from smart toothbrushes to sex toys to a flying car. But IFA, unlike CES, is open to the public, rather than just trade and media. As a result, it has a slightly more democratic air than its Vegas counterpart, and its September timing comes ahead of the holiday shopping season.…
