Coming off the glow of being honored this past weekend at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, Gene felt it necessary to speak out on the passing of KISS co-founder and guitarist Ace Frehley. 

Stage fright can be quite concerning for a singer, but according to I Prevail singer Eric Vanlerberghe, his previous bouts with it have not come from playing to their biggest audiences. In fact, as he tells Full Metal Jackie, it's quite the opposite.

Turns out we were right. Last week we told you that Aerosmith seemed to be teasing a collaboration with Yungblud and country superstar Lainey Wilson.

The songs are the first new material from GN'R since 2023, when they released "Perhaps" and "The General" a few months apart from each other. The band initially teased these two new tracks for a Dec. 2 release, but they came out this morning (Dec. 4) instead.

Avenged Sevenfold have released new music as part of a video game tie-in that allows players to hear it before anyone else.

Could Lainey Wilson be taking her skills into the rock world (at least temporarily)? Aerosmith made a rather intriguing IG post yesterday, showing Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Yungblud (who just collaborated on the joint EP "One More Time" ) with the caption "A 'Wild Woman' feature coming soon. 

Another pepper is breaking loose! Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea will release his debut solo album next year on Nonesuch Records, but it’s not what you think. 

Judas Priest have announced their first tour dates of 2026. The Faithkeepers tour will see the tireless heavy metal legends perform in 10 European cities in July and August. You can see the complete schedule on their website.

Evanescence have announced a massive world tour for 2026 and they're bringing along some heavy-hitting opening acts. The tour will be Evanescence's first as a headlining act in nearly four years.
