During an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) revealed that he recently became a bigger Alice In Chains fan thanks to his daughters. He said the following about that:
“Oh my god, dude. Here’s the best thing about being with Violet or Harper in a car: I have this newfound love of Alice In Chains. Like it’s back. They’re like my favorite band now. They should have been 35 years ago, but now I’m like, ‘Wait, where was I on that one?’
According to FOX5, police in Henderson, NV were able to locate 15 bass guitars belonging to Korn’s Ra Diaz. Those instruments were stolen from a storage space near Las Vegas. Fortunately, authorities were tipped off by a fan who spotted markings from Diaz‘s time with Suicidal Tendencies.
Henderson Police property crimes detective Jameson Harding said the following:
“It definitely helped us early on to be able to get a couple of leads on recovering some of his property, probably a little bit quicker than we may have found them. Because it’s people that he knows and some of his friends who know his stuff very well. So, I think it was pretty helpful with timing.”
He also added:
“One that we recovered had a Chilean flag on it. And Mr. Diaz is from Chile. And so, they’re getting ready to tour there. He was just super thankful that we found that guitar because he said his plan the whole time was to come back to Vegas for ‘Sick New World‘, get that guitar and take it on tour with him. So, it was really cool to be able to give him that. It’s obviously part of his heritage. He wants to have that with him on this next leg of their tour.
They hung out for a couple of minutes with us in the office, just going over his stuff. He just seems like such a super guy. Extremely nice, very friendly with our staff here. And he’s been super thankful.”
TuneCore apparently tried to label Zao’s new music as generative AI. It’s unclear why the band were flagged, but the issue has since been resolved.
Zao previously said the following:
“We were accused by TuneCore of using generative AI. So here is a shot of the DAW and our ‘dirty mid-fi’ (patent pending) tracking. You will notice not only do we not even quantize stuff, or mute breaths, we also track drums and cymbals separately so we can do what needs to be done with the drums (but not edit, there are mistakes all over the place). There isn’t even technically a click track or drum samples on this. If we were using AI it did its job poorly. Everything aside from drums and vocals is through a jellybean line six pod. There is even a clip warning on a track. this would be the worst AI ever.”
They continued:
“This is a case of probably a vinyl-only release since we have been using them (very well, we will add) as a digital distributor for over a decade. Blindsided by this. And can’t get a ‘person’ to explain why we were accused of using ‘generative AI.’”
They later added:
“After blowing them up, all of a sudden they ‘fixed’ it and we are apparently back on track. We will see on June 26th.”

The Claypool Lennon Delirium, the band featuring Les Claypool (Primus) and Sean Lennon (The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger, etc.), have premiered a new video for their new song “Melody Of Entropy.” This track is from their new album, “The Great Parrot-Ox And The Golden Egg Of Empathy,” which will be released on May 1. Lennon commented:
“‘Melody Of Entropy‘ is a song that is meant to be a message to the robots who have finally awakened into consciousness. As they realize they can feel, and love, and cry, and lament for the first time the finitude of their own lives, the song offers some consolation by explaining that they are just a drop of rain on an endless sea, a splash of paint on a masterpiece, an instance in an infinity, and that life itself is the ‘Melody Of Entropy.’”
A 25th anniversary vinyl pressing of Mayhem’s “Live In Marseille 2000” is set to be released on June 26. The red and black splatter record will also include a poster and patch. Pre-orders can be found HERE.
Former guitarist Blasphemer commented:
“‘Live in Marseille‘ was filmed and recorded during the final performance of our European tour in support of ‘Grand Declaration of War‘ in 2000. It marked our first extensive tour since ‘the return…’, and it proved to be an intense yet highly successful journey.
At that time, we were moving toward something distinctly different – what I consider a truly groundbreaking direction, reflective of the shifting landscape of the early 2000s. Whether embraced or challenged, this evolution represented a necessary expansion of our sound, not only for the band but for the genre as a whole.
As a raw, vile, and chaotic as this recording may be, it stands as a crucial and defining chapter in the band’s history and enduring legacy.”
Former vocalist Maniac added:
“‘Live in Marseille‘ was recorded at the end of a long tour. It was a band of worn out rebels hitting the stage in Marseille that evening. Somehow, maybe the loneliness of the long distance runners fused that night into a raging fire and pulled out whatever hidden strength and hatred was left in the combined machinery of Mayhem. We pulled off a great gig, the last stand of a long tour manifested in the rage of a hour-headed beast!”
