Before he ever became a guitar virtuoso and toured the world with the likes of Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Rob Halford and - currently - Mötley Crüe, John 5 was just a kid growing up near Detroit Rock City obsessed with KISS. That fascination turned into a lifelong journey of collecting anything and everything from the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman and the Catman.
In May 2025, John 5 will open up his personal collection for the first time ever to fellow KISS fans around the world with his brand-new Knights In Satan Service Museum of KISS Memorabilia in Los Angeles, California. Guided tours will be open to the public for one month only (with a possible expansion). Current dates available are May 5-9, May 12-16, May 19-23 and May 27-30. Each will be led by John 5 himself who will provide tons of rich detail and answer any questions. (continue)

Bury Tomorrow have shared a visualizer video for their new single "Waiting". The track comes from their forthcoming album "Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience", which will arrive on May 16th.
Frontman Dani Winter-Bates had this to say about the new track, "'Waiting' is about rebirth, the sense of going through the fire to emerge from the other side. Lyrically speaking, it delves into the lowest points of our lives where everything feels weirdly centered around yourself and in some way your misery, whether that's loss, self-loathing, or poor experiences.

The 45th anniversary of Billy Joel's "Glass Houses" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: After back-to-back multi-million sellers The Stranger and 52nd Street, Billy Joel could do no wrong...but that didn't stop him from trying in March 1980 on Glass Houses. Billy ditched the grand piano that was his signature, stripped down the arrangements to bar band essentials of jangly guitar, bass, and drums, and wrote a new batch of catchy songs including "You May Be Right", "Sometimes a Fantasy", "Close to the Borderline", "Don't Ask Me Why", and the album's thematic centerpiece, "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me".
