SLAYER’S SLAYTANIC VERSES MUSEUM
LAUNCHES A BRAND NEW ONLINE COLLECTION
MARKING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE BAND’S SECOND ALBUM,
“HELL AWAITS”

See the collection HERE

DATELINE: Monday, November 10, 2025 — Today, Slaytanic Verses, the official Slayer online museum, unveils its latest collection: “Hell On Tour.” The new archive celebrates the 40th anniversary of “Hell Awaits” and revisits the 1985 world tour that carried the album across seven countries and sixty shows.

Built around the band’s original handwritten tour notebook, the “Hell On Tour” archive offers fans a rare, day-by-day account of Slayer’s early rise. The blue-cover notebook, kept by the band’s tour manager, details the four relentless weeks from March 15 to April 19, 1985, when “Hell Awaits” began its march on the world.

The collection also features exclusive, never-before-seen interviews with Tom Araya and Kerry King, reflecting on the chaos, intensity and significance of the “Hell Awaits” era in their own words.

Documenting travel routes, show details, and daily logistics, this archive captures the groundwork
of Slayer’s ascent, the moment the band began forging a global following through sheer force of sound and will.

ABOUT SLAYER (2025)
For more than four decades, Slayer’s onslaught has proved the band to be the supreme thrash-metal band on the planet, the band that other heavy acts are still measured against and aspire to. Their membership in “The Big Four” – Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax – the four bands that defined the thrash/metal genre – secures their place in music history.

The five-time nominated, two-time Grammy winners have also accumulated an abundance of certified Gold Albums along with “Best…” awards from media outlets all over the world, including Kerrang!, SPIN, Metal Hammer, Revolver, and Esquire. Throughout Slayer’s history, the band never faltered in unleashing its extreme and focused sonic assault, and, unlike many of its contemporaries who commercialized their sound, Slayer remained crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. Slayer’s founding member, guitarist Jeff Hanneman passed in 2013, and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has been filling that spot since. Paul Bostaph, who was Slayer’s drummer from ’94 – ’01, rejoined bassist/vocalist Tom Araya and guitarist Kerry King in 2013, and remains back behind the kit.

In January 2018, Slayer announced they were calling it a day and would be doing one final world tour to thank its fans for their support over the years. Launched on May 10, 2018, by the time the 18-month tour wrapped on November 30, 2019, Slayer had played 148 shows, performing in 34 countries and 146 cities around the world, and in 40 U.S. states. In September, 2024, Slayer surprised fans with the news that they would headline three, major summer U.S. festivals – Riot Fest, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock. While Slayer has no plans to do any extensive touring, the band likely will continue to play some one-off shows, such as the up-coming Black Sabbath concert in the UK, a handful of headline UK dates, and select major festivals. All Hail Slayer.

I can’t think of a better place to play, for the first time, the Sublime self-titled album from cover to cover, than Red Rocks! One of our most magnificent albums on one the most magical stages if not THE most magical stage in the world!!!” – Bud Gaugh

“Red Rocks is absolutely my favorite place to play in the world. The sound is amazing and I can’t wait to get back there and share this special event with everyone.” – Eric Wilson

In addition to celebrating the 30th anniversary of their iconic self-titled album, 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Sublime. The band plans to release their highly anticipated new album, Till The Sun Explodes, the first original Sublime album in 30 years. The band recently made history with the breakout single “Ensenada,” which spent seven consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, setting the record for the longest run at #1 on alternative radio in 2025. The forthcoming album marks an exciting new chapter for Sublime while honoring the legacy that has inspired fans for more than three decades.

2025 has been a landmark year for Sublime, marking a powerful new chapter in the band’s history. In addition to the historic breakout success of their single “Ensenada,” which has racked up millions of streams and topped the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart for 7 weeks, the band has delivered performances at multiple high-profile music festivals across the world. The trio returned home to Long Beach to perform an unforgettable set at the 30th anniversary Warped Tour. Fans were also treated to a rare, intimate acoustic set at New York City’s Silver Lining Lounge, presented by the Lipps Service podcast. In the Summer of 2025 Sublime took over Las Vegas with their event ‘Fear, Loathing and Sublime in Las Vegas,’ a multi-day celebration of music, culture, and the band’s unmistakable impact on alternative music. Sublime also made their morning television debut on NBC’s the TODAY Show with a performance of their hit single “Ensenada” –

AGNOSTIC FRONT Premiere New Video “Sunday Matinee,” New album Echoes in Eternity Out Today via Reigning Phoenix Music

Watch The Video For “Sunday Matinee” HERE

NYC’s legendary hardcore pioneers AGNOSTIC FRONT have released the official video for “Sunday Matinee”, a nostalgic yet hard-hitting anthem from their brand-new album Echoes in Eternity, out today via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Frontman Roger Miret shares:

“In this song, we celebrate the gathering of friends, families and the joyous times when we all looked forward to our Sunday Matinee. Specifically, the days gone of the ‘classic’ CBGB Sunday line ups, where we made lifelong bonds with show attendees and all the visiting Hardcore/Punk bands! Basically, true social media at its finest!”

Echoes in Eternity captures AGNOSTIC FRONT’s trademark energy: a fusion of raw aggression and unflinching honesty. From explosive riffs to socially charged lyrics, the album is both a reflection and a rallying cry for a world still fighting for unity, justice, and authenticity.

With decades of influence on the global hardcore scene, AGNOSTIC FRONT continue to uphold their legacy as one of the most vital and uncompromising voices in punk music. Echoes in Eternity reaffirms their status as cultural torchbearers, channeling the same spirit that sparked from New York’s Lower East Side to inspire generations worldwide.

About AGNOSTIC FRONT:

Founded in 1982, AGNOSTIC FRONT stand among the most esteemed pioneers of the hardcore genre. No band comes close in sonic and socio authenticity and sincerity, where the struggles of survival on the streets have quite literally given life to a sound that remains as impactful today as it was over four decades ago. AGNOSTIC FRONT‘s battering, socially critical sounds serve as the foundation of true New York hardcore and helped initiate the emergence of crossover thrash. Following a slew of pummeling offerings, the band, led by the inimitable roar of Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma’s legendary charismatic guitar playing, continue to showcase unapologetically honest lyrics and signature aggression in Echoes in Eternity.

Listen HERE

Bernie Grundman’s new remaster of Alive! is included in all of the aforementioned 50TH Anniversary versions as well. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated mastering engineer took the reins and reinvigorated the record from the 1975 stereo analog master tapes. Like never before, Grundman channels the chemistry of the group—Paul Stanley [vocals, guitar], Gene Simmons [vocals, bass], Peter Criss [drums, vocals], and Ace Frehley [lead guitar]—front-and-center on his remaster. This is also the first time that Alive! has been released on one-CD.

The Super Deluxe box sets (4CD + Blu-ray and 8LP + Blu-ray) impressively include 120 tracks highlighted by 88 unreleased tracks. As part of the collection, fans can relive two entire concerts from the 1975 Dressed To Kill Tour: RKO Orpheum Theatre in Davenport, Iowa on July 20 (Second Show) and Wildwood Convention Hall in Wildwood, New Jersey on July 23. For the Super Deluxe box sets, Eddie Kramer has completed new mixes of these particular gigs, revisiting the original multi-track analog tapes and preserving the raw integrity of the performances with no overdubs. Among other highlights, you’ll find five rehearsal tracks from Davenport as well as six songs from Cleveland Music Hall in Cleveland, OH on June 21, 1975—also just mixed by Kramer this year. Then, there’s the Blu-ray Audio disc comprising Kramer’s newly mixed Alive! in Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround along with the newly remastered stereo in 192kHz 24-bit and 96kHz 24-bit PCM stereo, which is set to a new visualizer featuring unreleased photos and master tape box imagery

Both the Vinyl and CD box sets hold a plethora of “Kollectibles,” including a 100-page hardcover book. Once again, Ken Sharp dove headfirst into this chapter of the band’s history by writing immersive liner notes for the book and conducting recent interviews with Stanley and Simmons in addition to various members of the KISS inner circle and professional team who lived it all with them. Unreleased photos and rare images adorn the book’s pages.

Other sought-after extras include a reprint of the Alive! 1975 Press Kit, photos, a tour program, a T-shirt iron-on, backstage passes, ticket stubs, posters, an album cover lenticular, four double-sided coasters, four guitar picks, a bumper sticker, an Alive! die-cut double-sided mobile, and more. Plus, each box set comes with the Gotham Rock City News Volume 4 Newspaper featuring a track-by-track interview with Kramer breaking down the majority of songs as he revisited the iconic live album and concerts he helped to record and engineer 50 years ago.

Alive! 50TH Anniversary Deluxe Vinyl showcases 2-LPs as picture disc vinyl packaged in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket wrapped in foil paper with gold metallic ink. Not to mention, it features an enhanced version of the original booklet on foil paper with a brand-new double-sided poster with one side being the iconic fan banner shown on the album’s back cover. Extremely limited with no more than 1,000 units available, fans may purchase it (while supplies last) only from the official KISS Store.

The Alive! 50TH Anniversary Premium Vinyl is pressed on stunning gold and white cornetto with black splatter vinyl. It comes in an album jacket enhanced with first-ever gold foil and gold metallic ink details with labels printed in gold metallic ink. It features a new poster of the iconic fan banner seen on the album’s back cover as well as the original booklet. Only 3,000 units will be available exclusively on the official KISS store.

KISS unleashed Alive! on September 10, 1975. The album drew on performances from five nights of the Dressed To Kill Tour: Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI, Cleveland Music Hall in Cleveland, OH, RKO Orpheum Theatre in Davenport, IA (two shows), and Wildwood Convention Hall in Wildwood, NJ. Upon release, it added rocket fuel to the band’s ascent to the top of rock ‘n’ roll and culture in the seventies. Alive! reached the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and sent “Rock And Roll All Nite” to #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 – the highest charting single for the band at the time – and was their first album to be certified Gold by the RIAA. Rolling Stone named it one of “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” and Guitar World touted it on the “100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time” and at #3 on its “Top 10 Live Albums of All Time.” In 1975, live albums were perceived as a nail in the coffin of an artist’s career, but Alive! opened the floodgates for a string of pivotal live records to follow in its wake showing live rock albums could be a stepping stone to an artist’s success, with live albums ranging from Peter Frampton’s Frampton Comes Alive to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s One More From The Road to Led Zeppelin’s The Song Remains The Same.

In the end, this is the ultimate live rock record from the greatest showmen in rock ‘n’ roll history.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees and Kennedy Center honorees, KISS, celebrate five decades of their seminal third full-length album, Dressed To Kill, with a robust 50TH Anniversary Deluxe Edition available now via UMe. It arrives in multiple configurations: Super Deluxe 5CD + Blu-ray Audio, Super Deluxe 8LP + Blu-ray Audio, Premium Color Vinyl, Super Deluxe Digital, and a Deluxe Picture Disc Vinyl (available November 21, 2025). Dressed To Kill has been newly remastered in HRA 192/24, HRA 96/24, or 44.1/16, and Atmos.

The physical versions are now available HERE via KISS’s Official Store. The Super Deluxe Digital is live on all DSPs HERE.

To herald its arrival, KISS shared the unreleased “Burning Up With Fever (Studio Demo).” Listen HERE.

For all 50TH Anniversary configurations, Bernie Grundman notably remastered Dressed To Kill from the original 1975 stereo analog master tapes. The award-winning mastering engineer brings another perspective and a rush of vitality to the initial performances delivered by the quartet—Paul Stanley [vocals, guitar], Gene Simmons [vocals, bass], Peter Criss [drums, vocals], and Ace Frehley [lead guitar]—over five decades ago. Dressed To Kill (Remastered) only amplifies the magic of these ten tracks.

The Super Deluxe box sets (5CD + Blu-ray and 8LP + Blu-ray) notably house 107 songs in total. Among those, the collection’s 78 previously unreleased tracks span live recordings, demos, alternate mixes, and instrumental outtakes captured during the Larrabee Sound and Electric Lady Studios sessions as well as a pair of never-before-heard gems from their master tapes, namely “Mistake” and the aforementioned “Burning Up With Fever.” Additionally, the Super Deluxe showcases two full concerts from the historic 1975 Dressed To Kill Tour—recorded respectively at Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on May 16 and RKO Orpheum Theatre in Davenport, IA on July 20. Iconic producer and engineer Eddie Kramer contributed fresh mixes of both shows, working from the original multi-track analog tapes with no overdubs and evoking the spirit of KISS in their prime that he helped to record & engineer 50 years ago.

The Blu-ray Audio features yet another new mix of Dressed To Kill by David Frangioni in Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround as well as the remastered 1975 stereo mix in 192kHz 24-bit and 96kHz 24-bit PCM stereo all set to a new visualizer with photos and master tape box imagery. The Blu-ray Audio even boasts 1975 promo videos of “C’mon And Love Me” and “Rock And Roll All Nite” newly transferred from the 16mm film reel in HD.

In both boxes, you’ll find a 100-page hardcover book with detailed liner notes penned by Ken Sharp culled from exclusive interviews with Stanley and Simmons as well as the KISS team members who lived through the Dressed To Kill days alongside the band. Rare unreleased photos and memorabilia vividly bring the story to life.

Not to mention, there’s a treasure trove of extras and “Kollectibles” such as a reprint of the Dressed To Kill 1975 Press Kit, photos, posters, patches, buttons, stickers, a T-shirt iron-on, ads, backstage passes, a magnet sheet, an embossed metal New York license plate, four band member double-sided coasters, a litho, four white-pearled guitar picks, and more. Moreover, there’s a Gotham Rock City News Volume 3 Newspaper complete with a track-by-track interview with Stanley, Simmons, Criss, and Frehley in addition to a Cobo Arena interview with Kramer revisiting the 1975 concert.

This is a must-have for any and all collectors as well as the loyal soldiers in the KISS Army worldwide.

Then, there’s the 50TH Anniversary Premium Vinyl—which is also exclusive to the KISS Store and limited to just 3,000 units. Pressed on black and gold ghostly custom vinyl, the LP fits comfortably in its embossed jacket with first-ever 50th gold foil details, metallic gold ink labels, and a new poster.

Among the other versions, the 50TH Anniversary Deluxe Vinyl stands out as the “first-ever official picture disc vinyl edition of Dressed To Kill.” Available as a KISS Store exclusive and limited to only 1,000 individually numbered units, this edition will be available on November 21, 2025. The packaging consists of a premium jacket wrapped in foil paper accented by 50th gold printed details and a spot gloss KISS logo border and features a new double-sided poster.

Back in the winter of 1975, KISS entered the studio with Casablanca Records Founder/President and producer Neil Bogart. During the sessions, they co-produced what would become one of the band’s most important and influential offerings: Dressed To Kill. Among many highlights, the album yielded “C’mon and Love Me,” “She,” and the quintessential anthem “Rock and Roll All Nite,” which peaked at #68 on the Billboard Singles Chart, with the latter garnering a staggering 578 million Spotify streams and counting and earning a Gold certification from the RIAA.

Just over a week ago, we lost one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of all time, Ace Frehley, leaving behind a legacy that has reshaped rock forever.

As we honor his memory, we’re sharing something fans have long anticipated since it was first teased. The Dressed to Kill 50th Anniversary Box Set is now here, celebrating an album that has become a cornerstone of KISStory.

We invite you to revisit this iconic era. The Dressed to Kill 50th Anniversary album is now available on streaming platforms HERE, and the full 50th Anniversary Box Set can be ordered at HERE.

Play it loud. For Ace, for the music and for 50 years of rock history.

THE DAMNED ANNOUNCE SPECIAL NEW COVERS
ALBUM “NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE” IN TRIBUTE
TO FOUNDING GUITARIST BRIAN JAMES DUE OUT JANUARY 23RD

FIRST SINGLE/VIDEO “THERE’S A GHOST IN MY HOUSE”
(R. DEAN TAYLOR) AVAILABLE THURSDAY

The Damned announce the release of NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, a deeply personal and celebratory covers album, dedicated to the memory of Brian James, the band’s legendary founding guitarist, who passed away earlier this year on March 6th. Due out on January 23rd via earMUSIC, distributed by BFD/The Orchard in North America, the album was recorded in a blistering five days of emotion and creative fire at Revolver Studio in Los Angeles. NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE finds The Damned – Dave Vanian on vocals, Captain Sensible on guitar, Rat Scabies on drums, Paul Gray on bass and joined by longtime keyboardist Monty Oxymoron – reconnecting with the raw energy that started it all. NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE marks the first time in 40 years that Rat Scabies has returned to the studio with the band.

To pre-save the album early, please click here. Fans who order the album through the Official Album Store starting October 29th will receive three exclusive 7” vinyl singles featuring previously unreleased B-sides.

The first single from the forthcoming album, “There’s A Ghost In My House”, reimagines R. Dean Taylor’s classic with The Damned’s unmistakable energy and dark charm. Driven by Captain Sensible’s urgent guitar and Dave Vanian’s atmospheric vocal delivery, the track perfectly blends Northern soul spirit and gothic rock swagger. It’s both a nod to Brian James’s love of raw, melodic power and a reminder of The Damned’s gift for turning familiar songs into something entirely their own. The single will be accompanied by a music video directed by Gilbert Trejo and filmed during the band’s recent US tour. Both will be released this Thursday, October 30th. Pre-save the single here.

Ground-breaking rock band The Damned exploded on to the British music scene more than forty-five years ago. Following their formation in 1976, The Damned became the first UK band in the punk rock genre to release a single (“New Rose”) and then an album (DAMNED, DAMNED, DAMNED). Initially associated with the British punk rock movement and then gothic rock, the band went on to release ten studio albums and several UK-charting singles which ran the gamut from punk rock to gothic to even the pop genre. They have legions of hardcore fans worldwide and have firmly established themselves as one of most powerful and theatrical live bands in the world.

The Damned NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE track listing:

There’s A Ghost In My House (R. Dean Taylor)
Summer In The City (Joe Cocker)
Making Time (The Creation)
Gimme Danger (Iggy & The Stooges)
See Emily Play (Pink Floyd)
I’m Not Like Everybody Else (The Kinks)
Heart Full Of Soul (The Yardbirds)
You Must Be A Witch (The Lollipop Shoppe)
When I Was Young (The Animals)
The Last Time (The Rolling Stones)

BRING THEIR HUGELY ACCLAIMED 50TH ANNIVERSARY
‘RUN FOR YOUR LIVES’ WORLD TOUR
TO STADIUMS & MAJOR AMPHITHEATERS ACROSS
NORTH AMERICA IN 2026

WITH A SET LIST HIGHLIGHTING THE BIGGEST SONGS
FROM THEIR CAREER DEFINING EARLY DECADES
ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR MOST SPECTACULAR SHOW EVER

A CELEBRATION FOR THE AGES FEATURING VERY SPECIAL GUESTS MEGADETH ON ALL HEADLINE DATES
AND ANTHRAX AT SELECTED STADIUM SHOWS

IRON MAIDEN today announces the highly anticipated North American dates of their critically acclaimed RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR. In celebration of their 50th Anniversary, the band will be performing at stadiums and major amphitheaters across the United States and Canada, allowing fans the chance to witness the brand new, state-of-the-art production, on the scale it is intended for – huge stages in outdoor venues, to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime setlist of songs from the band’s groundbreaking first nine albums. They will also headline America’s biggest rock festival, Louder Than Life at the Highland Festival Grounds in Kentucky on 17th September 2026.

Steve Harris says, “We are greatly looking forward to bringing this RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR to North America and hope the fans enjoy seeing the show and hearing the set list as much as we do playing it. It’s an added bonus to have a few of our good friends on the tour with us. MEGADETH are playing all the shows and it’s an honour to have them join us on their last ever tour. We also have Anthrax with us on the bigger shows, we had a great time with them when they came out with us on Ed Force One around the world in 2016. We’re delighted to have both bands with us for this tour and know our fans will enjoy seeing them.”

Bruce Dickinson adds, “This whole tour has been such great fun. I really enjoy belting out all these great old songs, and the whole band are loving playing them too! We’ve got all the big ones from that early period including Hallowed, Run To The Hills, Trooper, Number Of The Beast, Killers, Powerslave, 2 Minutes… and some of them we haven’t played in the US for over 20 years!! Plus there’s some real epics including my particular favourite ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ and Seventh Son… We are doing them all and more. I mean, who wouldn’t for a 50th birthday party!”

“For a tour celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Iron Maiden” notes Manager Rod Smallwood, “the scale and incredible visual aspects of this tour deserve larger venues than the arenas we have generally played in the past. We particularly chose this time of year to go bigger outdoors but to give us darkness when we go on stage so you will see the best of the production. Fans certainly won’t be disappointed in the show or the 50th anniversary set list that is for sure!

“We particularly look forward to playing the huge shows in Montréal and the Alamodome in San Antonio, two of the biggest shows we have ever played in North America plus, of course, Louder Than Life – America’s biggest Rock Festival! Along with the stadium shows in Los Angeles, New Jersey and Hershey we have also chosen to play a few of the biggest amphitheaters as they always have a fantastic atmosphere and great visual sight lines. We’re also going to be doing everything we can to bring the hugely popular Eddie’s Pop-up Dive Bar experience across the Atlantic for the very first time. Our European fans just loved these and we’re convinced that the mix of Maiden fans, Trooper Beer & exclusive Tour merch makes for a winning combination.

“Likewise we will continue to offer the well-loved Trooper VIP Experience at all venues.

“Finally it was really special on our European dates this year to see that the vast majority of our fans appreciated and respected our request to severely limit their use of phones at our concerts, ideally just keeping it in their pockets the whole time, especially in those standing areas in front of the stage. Our fans’ understanding and cooperation made a colossal difference to the atmosphere of every show and increased the enjoyment enormously for the band and fans alike.

So for all our North American shows we are once again requesting that fans keep their phones in their pockets and enjoy the show ‘in the moment’, rather than raise their phone in the air trying to film sections and thus inconveniencing those around them and annoying the band. So if a so-called fan near you thinks they are special and filming what they selfishly want please just ask them, very politely of course, to put their phone somewhere the sun doesn’t shine!”

These upcoming tour dates will mark 45 years since IRON MAIDEN first visited Canada and the USA on the 1981 Killer World Tour, and feature some of the biggest shows the band has ever played there. The return to BMO Stadium concert in Los Angeles on September 25th will be the 25th time the band has played in the City of Angels. A history-making tour for sure!

There will be an exclusive Iron Maiden Fan Club presale beginning on Tuesday October 28. Headline shows go on general sale on Friday October 31. Head to ironmaiden.com for all ticketing and tour information.

FOO FIGHTERS
2026 STADIUM TOUR
Dates Announced Today
General On Sale October 31

NEW SINGLE “ASKING FOR A FRIEND” OUT NOW

Time to start training for your local rock and roll marathon: Foo Fighters have confirmed their first stadium tour since the massive 2023-2024 Everything or Nothing at All run that sold out football and baseball fields the world over. Kicking off August 4 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, the new tour will see Foo Fighters bringing the maximum volume euphoria of the band’s recent surprise US club gigs and overseas outdoor / arena spectaculars to a total of 12 North American cities, concluding (for now) September 26 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.

Queens of the Stone Age will be direct support on all dates except September 12 in Fargo.

General on sale for all shows is Friday, October 31 at 10am local time. Don’t sleep on information re: tickets, pre-sales and more at foofighters.com

If that’s not enough good news for you, today sees the release of new Foo Fighters song “Asking for a Friend.” Featuring a decidedly darker melodic approach than the smash hit “Today’s Song,” “Asking for a Friend” ratchets up the energy and intensity of its predecessor in favor of hypnotic opening verses that build and explode into impassioned refrains of “What is real? I’m asking for a friend…” By the time the song’s final breakneck rave-up screeches to a halt with a throat-shredding “Or is this the end?”, FF fans of all ages will find themselves joyfully bludgeoned into submission.

Dave Grohl wrote at length about inspiration for the new music and upcoming tour, in a post that read in part:

“Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing. From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon.

What better way to share the view than with close friends?

In 1992 I first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer. 33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age.

Take cover.

But none of this would be complete without new music to share from Pat, Nate, Chris, Rami, Ilan and I. ‘Asking for a Friend’ is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.

One of many songs to come…”
