Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music No matter how a person might feel about “Saturday Night Live”’s jokes or cast or host choices, there’s absolutely no denying that for the better part of the last half century, it has been the most consistently powerful platform in America for musicians, whether they’re superstars, rising stars or falling stars. Virtually every major artist has performed on it, and for musicians on the rise, it’s a sign that they have almost arrived, that they’ve attained enough popularity or curiosity or — perhaps most important — controversy for the show to take a chance on them.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ 1982 “Long After Dark” album probably doesn’t count as one of the band’s “tentpole albums,” in terms of being one of their biggest blockbusters, or a seismic shift in direction — but it’s also a record that probably no real fan would want to do without. Tom Petty in so-called maintenance mode beats almost anyone else reinventing the wheel.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Before “Almost Famous” and all his other directorial efforts, Cameron Crowe immortalized a different kind of golden god: Tom Petty.

Ethan Shanfeld Like many of the band’s progenitors, from Bruce Springsteen to Bob Dylan to Tom Petty, you haven’t truly experienced the War on Drugs until you’ve seen them in the flesh. That’s what makes “Live Drugs Again,” the second live album from the Adam Granduciel-led project, such a gift. With live recordings of newer songs like “Harmonia’s Dream,” “I Don’t Wanna Wait” and “Living Proof,” the album is even better than 2020’s “Live Drugs,” which is itself an electrifying document of one of modern rock’s most consistent acts.

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ ‘Long After Dark’ is on the way, and set to be released in October.The new version of the 1982 album will arrive in stores next month, more than 40 years after it was first released.Set to arrive via Geffen/UMe on October 18, the new variant will come as a double disc and contains seven recordings that remained unreleased up until now.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Former President Donald Trump has a long history of using popular songs at his campaign rallies without authorization — by the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Linkin Park and even Celine Dion — many of which have titles or meanings that hardly seem to imply victory, like “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” and, in the current case in point, “My Heart Will Go On,” Celine Dion’s theme song from the 1997 film “Titanic,” in which thousands of people die on a sinking luxury liner.Trump campaign plays the theme from the Titanic at his rally pic.twitter.com/lspVW1hA5I While Trump has used the song at rallies in the past, in Montana on Friday night he used a video of Dion singing the song as well — which brings in a raft of legal issues beyond the standard use of a song at a rally. On Saturday, Dion disavowed any endorsement of his campaign and questioned the choice of the song, which for millions evokes the tragedy of the Titanic and, in the film, Leonardo DiCaprio’s dying character sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The Runaways‘ Cherie Currie has claimed that she could have suffered a severe injury due to Rush allegedly “sabotaging” them while performing.While appearing as a guest on The Metal Voice, the former frontwoman opened up about the band’s feud with the Canadian prog-rock band, and how one of their sabotaging acts could have allegedly left Currie paralysed.Formed in 1975, The Runaways – comprised of Currie, guitarists Joan Jett and Lita Ford, bassist Jackie Fox and drummer Sandy West – were one of the first all-female rock bands known for their hit tracks such as ‘Cherry Bomb’, ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Queens Of Noise’.In her interview with The Metal Voice, Currie opened up about touring with Rush in 1977 and their behaviour. At the time, the members of The Runaways were teenagers while Rush were all in their mid-twenties.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The Songwriters Hall of Fame, which staged its annual awards ceremony on Thursday night, is an institution and an event unlike any other in the music industry, even though many of its elements are hardly unique and many things about it have barely changed over decades, and possibly since it launched in 1969. Indeed, we say many of the same things about the ceremony in an article very similar to this one every year — it’s a combination of an awards show, a family reunion and a trade event that is invite-only yet features a mind-blowing array of Grammy-level, once-in-a-lifetime performances and tributes, always held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York’s Times Square.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Feeling angry about Apple’s ranking of the 100 best albums of all time, are you? Good. (From their point of view.) That’s exactly how you’re supposed to feel, given a list that aspires less toward any semblance of an informed or authoritative voice than a seeming sense of randomness that can only be explained away as rage bait.

Sinéad O’Connor’s estate is demanding that former President Donald Trump stops playing the late singer’s music during his political rallies.“Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O’Connor lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness and decency towards her fellow human beings,” the late singer’s estate and Chrysalis Records said in a joint statement to the Associated Press. “It was with outrage therefore that we learned that Donald Trump has been using her iconic performance of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ at his political rallies.“It is no exaggeration to say that Sinéad would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone whom she herself referred to as a ‘biblical devil,'” the statement continued.
