@BillyStrings Widespread Panic covers The Doors better. Billy does it good, but I need drums in my Doors songs. John Densmore added a lot to the sound.

In 1990, Billy Idol recorded his cover of “L.A. Woman” for his album CHARMED LIFE. The video was directed by none other than a young David Fincher, before his FIGHT CLUB and SEVEN days. He brought Idol’s signature style to The Doors’ classic. Idol, who has often cited Jim Morrison as a key influence, brought his own raw, punk edge to the track, bridging Morrison’s legacy to a new generation of fans. Did anyone catch him at OfficialRobbyKrieger's show at The Greek Theatre last month? 🎥: Billy Idol on YouTube

Billy Strings covering Pink Floyd’s “Fearless” 🔥 This one feels so natural in his hands. That laid-back, rootsy vibe meets classic Floyd — and it works perfectly. Billy just has a way of making everything sound like it was written for him. One of my favorite covers he’s done. What’s a song you never expected to hear Billy Strings cover? 👇

Absolution Track Eight - Hysteria One of our most iconic basslines. On the recorded version, at 1:34 a scratching can be heard... this is actually Matt playing the bassline on his guitar and scratching the strings with his plectrum 🎸

Billy Strings is one of the few people actually making traditional American music feel alive again. Most “roots” acts either play it safe or turn it into a museum piece. Billy does neither. He takes bluegrass and flatpicking and plays it with the intensity of a metal guitarist, without losing the soul of the music. Watching him shred on acoustic like this, it’s clear why younger crowds are showing up. He’s not just preserving the tradition — he’s making it urgent again. Curious what you think… is Billy the one bringing real energy back to this style, or is there someone else doing it even better right now?

Instead of his usual comedic style, Jack Black focused entirely on his vocals, delivering a deep, emotional performance that showcased his vocal range and control. Kyle Gass stayed true to the original's classic guitar riff, maintaining a dark and somber atmosphere. The contrast between Tenacious D's comedic reputation and this heartfelt performance made it stand out.

On this day in 1969, The Doors released THE SOFT PARADE - a bold left turn that brought horns, strings, and full orchestration into their sound. With hits like “Touch Me” and deep cuts like “Wild Child,” the album split opinions but pushed the band’s creative limits. What’s your favorite track?

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy had an episode called ‘Nursery Crimes’ where Grim sends them into a storybook to redo Hansel & Gretel. Billy gets bored and wanders off on his own, eventually crossing paths with Pinocchio, who after a short back and forth tells him his ‘only way’ to become a real boy is to eat one!

Billy Corgan sits down with YUNGBLUD (Dom Harrison) at a pivotal career moment to unpack one of the rarest moves in music: crossing over from pop to rock and making it stick. From storming America’s legendary stages like the Fillmore and Palladium to earning Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne’s blessing in Birmingham, YUNGBLUD reflects on why authenticity can’t be faked, why community matters more than clout, and how rock is finding new life with a new generation. The conversation goes deep into the cultural divide between UK and US audiences, the vision behind his IDOLS era, and his bold choice to re-record the album live at Berlin’s Hansa Studios (home to Bowie, Iggy Pop, U2, Depeche Mode) and his explosive collaboration with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.

$Billy Corgan sits down with John Cowsill (The Cowsills) for a deep-cut tour through ’60s pop history, from kitchen-table harmonies and four-set club nights as grade-schoolers to drumming as a nine-year-old on Ed Sullivan. He shares what really happened in the studio on “The Rain, the Park & Other Things” and “Hair,” and the family dynamics that fueled and fractured a once-in-a-generation vocal blend. They also trace John’s path from early Johnny Nash sessions to decades with the Beach Boys, a new duo with wife Vicki Peterson (The Bangles), and fronting The Smithereens.$
