M. Shadows, vocalist of the band "Avenged Sevenfold", addressed the criticism he received after sending a moving video message to the two recently released Israeli hostages, the band's fans אביתר דוד and גיא גילבוע-דלל. The two took part in the "Nova" festival held on October 7, 2023, and were kidnapped by Hamas. During their captivity the two kept talking about their love for the band, and the story reached the band members through the band's Israeli fan group. In the statement published after the criticism, Shadows made clear that the video's purpose was purely humanitarian, to express support for people who went through severe trauma, without any political motive. He added that "music was always meant to connect people, not to separate them", and called on fans to remember the values of compassion and unity that the band represents.
The legendary guitarist and one of the founders of "KISS", Ace Frehley, has passed away at the age of 74. Frehley, known by his nickname "The Spaceman", fell at his home last month and afterward canceled the remainder of his 2025 tour due to medical problems. In a statement published by his family it was written that they are "completely devastated and heartbroken", and they noted that "in his final days he was surrounded by love, care and prayers". Ace Frehley was one of the most influential figures in classic rock, a founder of "KISS" together with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss in 1973. He left the band in the early 80s for a solo career, and returned to its ranks in the historic 1996 reunion that lasted until 2002. His contribution to the sound, the stage persona and the legacy of "KISS" will remain engraved forever.

In 2015 he was forced to leave the lineup due to health problems caused by excessive drinking, but returned to the band three years later.
It is not clear to us what the two members of the band "Rush" were thinking...
Because it is obvious that if you wake any first-grade kid in the middle of the night and ask him "if the band RUSH
announces a new show, will it be SOLD OUT??" that kid will say of course yeeeeeeesssssssssss
This week the two added 17 more shows!!!
The number of shows for this crazy tour already stands at 58!!!
And if you ask us or any first-grade kid, we will argue that every additional show will be SOLD OUT to infinity...

Thousands of fans watched Axl venting his anger on the band's drummer, a matter that created a lot of noise online and started a wave of rumors about the band members' dissatisfaction with the new drummer. But that is not the case...

The band "Slipknot" has filed a lawsuit against an anonymous person accused of holding the domain slipknot.com for nearly a quarter of a century, while using it to sell fake merchandise.

The lawsuit claims the domain was registered in order to profit from the reputation of "Slipknot" and to mislead surfers into thinking they are entering the band's official site. As a result, the band was forced to operate its official site under slipknot1.com - a move that continues to this day.
