Slash has officially made his Broadway debut — and Slash has officially made his Broadway debut — and naturally, it was in a vampire musical.

The Guns N’ Roses guitarist joined the cast of The Lost Boys at New York’s Palace Theatre, performing during “Have to Have You.”

Slash is also a co-producer on the musical, which won four Tony Awards in June.

Honestly, Slash appearing unexpectedly in The Lost Boys might be the most Slash thing imaginable.

This is such a lovely clip of Bonnie Tyler. ❤️ A This is such a lovely clip of Bonnie Tyler. ❤️

A throwback shared by TikTok user gracieemersonx, who was just 15 when she spotted Bonnie backstage and understandably completely lost it. 😂

After hearing the scream, Bonnie’s response was brilliant: “You’re not gonna have a voice in the morning!”

It’s only a tiny interaction, but it shows the warm, down-to-earth side of Bonnie that so many fans have been remembering since her passing.

Following the incredible scenes in Wales this weekend, with fans lining the streets to welcome Bonnie home one final time, this feels like a lovely little reminder of the person behind that unmistakable voice.

Nu-metal beef really was different in 2000. Throw Nu-metal beef really was different in 2000.

Throwback to this iconic Slipknot interview in Australia, after the band were asked about their rivalry with Limp Bizkit.

Corey Taylor explained that someone in Limp Bizkit had allegedly described Slipknot fans as “nothing but a bunch of fat, ugly kids.”

Corey’s response? He proudly pointed out that he was one himself — before making the pretty obvious point that plenty of Slipknot fans listened to Limp Bizkit too. 😂

The comment has widely been attributed to Fred Durst over the years, although the original story told by Corey only identified it as somebody from the band. 

One of the most iconic interviews from the absolute chaos that was the early nu-metal era.

Strip away the instruments and you can hear every bit of power, control and emotion in that voice.

Rock fans judging each other’s favourite bands at Rock fans judging each other’s favourite bands at Cardiff Castle 😂

We filmed this just after Rise Against had finished their set at the Rise Against & Jimmy Eat World show and honestly… Rise Against were INSANELY good. What a band.

Also, I cannot explain how many people said Linkin Park 😭 There were even more that didn’t make the final video. And before anyone comes for me — I LOVE Linkin Park. But it genuinely became an echo chamber where I thought we were just going to spend the entire night ranking Linkin Park over and over again hahaha

Another unreal night at Cardiff Castle with Depot Live. This run of shows has been ridiculously good.

Massive thanks to everyone who got involved and was up for a laugh, and thanks to my cameraman Vince for following me around while I bothered strangers.

49 years ago today, the world lost Elvis Presley. 49 years ago today, the world lost Elvis Presley.

Elvis died on August 16, 1977, aged just 42, leaving behind a legacy that completely changed popular music.

Nearly half a century later, his influence on rock ’n’ roll, performance and popular culture is still everywhere.

What’s your favourite Elvis song?

I had high expectations for Rise Against last nigh I had high expectations for Rise Against last night and somehow they completely surpassed them.

Tim McIlrath looked like he was having the time of his life up there — smiling from ear to ear throughout the set — and his voice sounded absolutely unbelievable. The whole band sounded HUGE.

Here they are performing “Satellite” at Cardiff Castle. What a band.

And I’ve got to say it again: these @depotlive shows have been incredible. I’ve been to gigs at Wembley, stadiums and venues all over the country, and right now, Cardiff Castle is my favourite live music venue in the UK. I haven’t been to a bad show there.

If you’re in the UK — or even if you’re not — when @depotlive announce next summer’s Castle shows, get yourself to one. Some of the best gigs I’ve ever been to have happened inside those walls.

Someone get that thing in a sleeve immediately.

Side note - I love this band so much lol.

Now give us a studio collab.

Fans have gathered in Swansea today to pay their r Fans have gathered in Swansea today to pay their respects to Welsh music legend Bonnie Tyler as she makes her final journey home to Mumbles.

The Total Eclipse of the Heart singer died on 8 July aged 75 while being treated in hospital in Portugal. Today, mourners have been invited to line Newton Road as her hearse travels to the family home. 

A public Celebration of Life will be held at Swansea Minster on Monday, followed by a procession through her hometown of Skewen before a private family farewell. 

A beautiful Welsh send-off for one of the country’s most recognisable voices.

An incredible stage show, ridiculously talented mu An incredible stage show, ridiculously talented musicians and Alice Cooper sounding THAT good at 78 was something to behold.

But while the production and covers were brilliant, some of the original material didn’t quite land enough for me to push this beyond 3 stars.

Still, a seriously fun night at one of the best live venues around.

The Office meets Green Day. What a crossover. Jen The Office meets Green Day. What a crossover.

Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey were spotted having the time of their lives watching Green Day perform around the premiere celebrations for NIMRODS.

And they weren’t just there as fans — both Jenna and Angela appear in the new Green Day-inspired comedy, which follows three friends on a chaotic cross-country journey after mistakenly believing their band has landed the chance to open for Green Day. Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool also appear as themselves and produced the film. 

Seeing Pam and Angela rocking out to Green Day is the crossover we didn’t know we needed.

Well, this just got even stranger. Slipknot appea Well, this just got even stranger.

Slipknot appeared to confirm that Sid Wilson is no longer associated with the band, posting a statement which read:

“Effective immediately, Slipknot will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

But shortly afterwards, the statement disappeared from the band’s social media, with no explanation currently given for its removal. Fans also captured and discussed the post before it vanished. 

It comes after reports on July 31 claimed Wilson had been removed from Slipknot after 28 years — reports which were thrown into doubt when guitarist Jim Root subsequently told fans: “Don’t believe everything you read. Stop. Think.” 

So… what exactly is going on with Slipknot and Sid Wilson?
