ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, whose signature backbeat helped define the legendary Texas rock band for more than five decades, has died at 77. In 2019, Beard joined bandmates Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill to look back on 50 years of ZZ Top and the music that made them rock icons. Gibbons has remembered Beard as a great friend and collaborator and praised him as “one of the most naturally innovative drummers,” saying his signature backbeat was key to the band’s success.

🎸🥁 Honest Review: AeroBand PocketDrum 2 MAX Air Drum Kit Just watched this guy turn thin air into a full-sounding drum kit and I’m genuinely impressed. This is the AeroBand PocketDrum 2 MAX — two sensor sticks + small Bluetooth modules that let you play a complete electronic drum set anywhere. No massive kit, no noise complaints, no lugging gear. Just sit on a park bench (like in the video) and go. What I like: • Super portable (fits in a backpack) • Solid Bluetooth + MIDI so it works with phones, tablets, or DAWs • Surprisingly convincing drum sounds for practice • Great for building speed, coordination, and timing without a full kit Reality check: The sound quality depends on what you plug it into (headphones or a good speaker sound way better than the built-in). There’s a tiny bit of latency if you’re a pro, but for 95% of players it’s perfect. If you’re a drummer who wants to practice on the go, jam silently at home, or just mess around in the park — this thing is legit fun.

Happy Saturday I just wanted to take a moment to show a place that had SO MUCH potential and that is my own neighborhood. Sadly, less than half of all voters even came out to vote at all at the 2 polling locations that are 1 block away from eachother. On top of that, the ones who did vote, majority voted D when they had an option of someone such as myself, who was only wanting vibrancy for this area. On top of what I cover in his video, we have fentanyl busts and open drug use daily on this main street and squatters who live in homes directly around here. Is this the result of decades long neglect from your local government? I wanted MORE for us 😪

Origins of Rock and Roll, by the almighty Led Zeppelin, According to guitarist Jimmy Page, 'Rock and Roll' developed from a spontaneous jam session that occurred after the band became frustrated while attempting to finish recording "Four Sticks" at the Headley Grange mansion they had rented in Hampshire, England. During a break, John Bonham began playing the drum intro to the 1957 song "Keep A-Knockin'" by Little Richard, to which Page added a Chuck Berry-style guitar riff. The rest of the band members reportedly joined in "one by one." Ian Stewart was also present at the session performing piano. Realizing the potential in the new idea, the band immediately put "Four Sticks" on the "back burner." The tapes were rolling, and after improvising the first section of the song, the basis of the rest of the song was completed in around fifteen minutes. Robert Plant wrote the lyrics, which were a response to critics who claimed their previous album, Led Zeppelin III, wasn't really rock and roll. Led Zeppelin III had more of an acoustic folk sound, and Plant wanted to prove they could still rock out. "We just thought rock and roll needed to be taken on again," he told Creem in 1988. "I was finally in a really successful band, and we felt it was time for actually kicking ass. It wasn't an intellectual thing, 'cause we didn't have time for that - we just wanted to let it all come flooding out. It was a very animal thing, a hellishly powerful thing, what we were doing." Initially, the band called the song "It's Been a Long Time'' but they eventually decided on 'Rock and Roll' which sounds way better and defines the genre with the song itself. Led Zeppelin performing 'Rock and Roll' live at Madison Square Garden, in 1973.

Some will ask “why is this guy wearing his medals like this?” Because he can! This is Vincent Speranza, the American paratrooper who became known as the soldier who doled out beer to his wounded comrades during the Battle of the Bulge, he passed away last yesterday at the age of 98. Unbeknownst to him,the private’s act of kindness on December 17, 1944, became the stuff of legend in the town of Bastogne. Brasserie Lamborelle, a brewery in Bastogne, even created Airborne Beer that was served in helmet-shaped ceramic bowls to commemorate the paratrooper’s beer-carrying mission. “After being a machine gunner at the Battle of the Bulge, earning a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star and spending two decades as a public school teacher, Airborne Beer is what I’m famous for,” Speranza told Stars and Stripes. In subsequent years, Speranza traveled across the U.S. and Europe, recounting his wartime stories to soldiers and veterans alike — even going viral in 2016 for his rendition of “Blood on the Risers” at the Frederick Army Air Field in Oklahoma. RIP Hero! March 23, 1925 – August 2, 2023

Man, this one's gonna be a tough one. Losing a friend and our adopted Bosnian cuts deep. I met Paul in 2019. when we worked on a broadcast project together, unpacking forgotten war crimes in Sarajevo and Bijeljina. This is for you, Paul! | paullowe We lost more than a photographer when #PaulLowe passed away. We lost a witness to our history, a storyteller who showed the world the truths that many wished to ignore. His lens captured more than the horrors of war; it captured the resilience, the survival, the humanity of #Sarajevo at its darkest moment. Paul wasn’t just any outsider. He became one of us, a Bosnian in spirit, returning to live in Sarajevo with his Bosnian wife he met during war. He chose to make this city, scarred but beautiful, his home. In a way, his life mirrored his photography; an intimate connection to our brokenness, but yet utter fucking resilience. His work during the siege was not just about documenting violence. It was about remembering – reminding us that the shattered buildings and the jagged remains of barricades held stories, stories we should never forget. Paul understood that the “textures of destruction,” as he called them, were not just remnants of the past, but warnings and lessons for the future. He spent six months after the war capturing the ruins, not as mere structures, but as symbols of what had been lost and what we must fight to preserve – our history, our humanity. Through his eyes, even devastation carried a haunting, “terrifying beauty,” a strange aesthetic that was both painful and necessary to see. For those of us who knew him, Paul wasn’t just a great artist. He was a kind soul, a man who cared deeply for the people and the stories he photographed. He was someone who became one with his subject, whose empathy was as powerful as his talent. In losing Paul, we’ve lost a piece of Sarajevo’s heart. But through his images, his legacy lives on, forever reminding us of the importance of remembering. Thank you for your service, you amazing man. Rest in power! 🕊️

Who comes to mind when you think of ‘standing firm in power and pride’? This year’s Black History Month theme will tell the story of many inspirational British figures, and we’re pleased that our founder, Lord Herman Ouseley, is being recognised and celebrated as one who helped change our country for the better. A year ago, he sadly passed away. We can’t think of many people in football who showed such courage, power and pride at a time of resistance when he set up Kick It Out 32 years ago. In our film to remember him, Sir Alex Ferguson described Herman as “fearless”. Others describe how he gave a voice to black players and made the game feel safer for many communities. We continue to draw strength from his power and pride at a time of political uncertainty and a rise in discrimination. If you want to know more about Lord Herman Ouseley and what impact he had on football, you can watch the whole film here: Our thoughts are with his friends and family as we remember a truly great person, whose legacy continues to live on. #BHM #BHM2025 #BlackHistoryMonth

A 12-year-old boy whose emotional plea for help finding a treatment for his rare bone cancer touched millions has sadly passed away. In a heartbreaking Facebook tribute, Will's mother shared that he "entered the presence of Jesus" just after midnight on her birthday: "At 12:45am(central time)today, on my birthday, our precious Will took his final breath on this earth and entered the presence of Jesus." "What a beautiful gift that God gave me today on my birthday….a celebration that there is no more cancer and Will entered into the kingdom of Heaven!!!! What better gift could I have received than to know my baby boy is sitting with Jesus and is cancer free…." Will pleaded for his video to reach President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to help to find a treatment for his rare form of osteosarcoma, not only for himself, but for other children battling the devastating disease. "Even if this won't work out for me, if this drug can get out in the future, it'll help hundreds of other kids. I really want it to get out in time for it to help me too. So y'all, please do whatever you can to get it out." Will's plea eventually caught the attention of Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, who helped connect Will's medical team with the doctors developing the experimental treatment.

THE LAST TIME - Led Zeppelin performing “Kashmir” at the O2 arena in 2007 for what would be one of the most anticipated reunions in rock and roll history. Over 20 million people entered a worldwide lottery for the chance at being one of the lucky 18,000 fans in attendance. This concert was done as a tribute to the great Ahmet Ertegun, who was the co-founder and president of Atlantic Records. Fans waited 27 years for a reunion like this following the passing of drummer John Bonham, and as evidence in this clip, it did not disappoint. For such a long hiatus, Zeppelin was firing on all cylinders throughout the 2.5 hour performance on this evening. Furthermore, the emotion of the night was intensified due to Zeppelin tapping into Bonhams son, Jason Bonham, to fill the big shoes his father had left behind. Robert Plant was as lively as ever, showing his skills as the ultimate frontman, while Jimmy Page’s guitar playing was beyond impressive. John Paul Jones was a true wildcard, adding his thunderous bass and seriously underrated synth skills to the evening. and Jason Bonham did his father proud, perhaps stealing the show with his note-perfect playing on the drum kit. Recorded in 1974 at Headley Grange, this masterpiece found its home on the iconic double album, ‘Physical Graffiti.’ This song was a defining milestone for the band, all four members have agreed that it was one of their greatest musical achievements. Jimmy was asked by The Edge how this riff came to be during the film “It Might Get Loud”, and he explained that it was born out of him experimenting with the DADGAD tuning, which is similar to a sitar tuning. The ending riff to that song was the descending section we hear on “Kashmir” and Jimmy flipped it over on itself to create the riff we know today - truly a hypnotic riff that intoxicates you every time you listen. Enjoy! #LedZeppelin

The Enduring Voice of Simon Le Bon In a recent live performance of “Come Undone,” Simon Le Bon steps onto the stage and immediately reminds everyone why his voice remains unmistakable. There is still that familiar slight rasp, the emotional depth, and a level of control that feels remarkable after more than four decades in the spotlight. At an age when many singers struggle to recapture their earlier power, he delivers a performance that feels alive and present. Vocal longevity is rarely the result of natural talent alone. It comes from technique, discipline, and a deep understanding of one’s own instrument. Simon was never the kind of singer who relied on an exceptionally wide range or highly polished classical technique. His strength has always been color and feeling. His voice carries a rock edge mixed with a touch of vulnerability, allowing him to express both confidence and quiet melancholy within the same phrase. Over the years he has wisely adapted rather than fought against time. He eases off on the highest notes, leans more on breath control, and places greater emphasis on emotional phrasing. This thoughtful adjustment prevents the strained quality that often appears when older singers try to force their younger sound. Another important factor is restraint. Duran Duran have never been a band that tours relentlessly without pause. They choose their shows carefully and protect the voice that sits at the center of their music. Years of stage experience also help Simon manage pressure so that nerves or fatigue do not undermine his delivery. Even in live settings he maintains a strong presence through his eyes, gestures, and connection with the audience, qualities that make an already distinctive voice even more compelling. What stands out in performances like this one is that the voice does not need to sound exactly as it did in 1993 to earn admiration. Fans are not demanding a perfect replica of the original recording. They respond to the fact that he still captures the soul of the song and communicates genuine feeling. That is the true measure of endurance—not technical permanence, but the continued ability to move listeners after so many years. Simon Le Bon’s career offers a quiet lesson about longevity in music. Success that lasts is built on respect for the voice itself. When an artist learns to care for, adjust, and listen to their own instrument, age becomes less of an absolute barrier. The sound may change, yet its vitality can remain.

The ending riff to that song was the descending section we hear on “Kashmir” and Jimmy flipped it over on itself to create the riff we know today - truly a hypnotic riff that intoxicates you every time you listen. Enjoy!

It’s been five days since we lost the great Glen Hansard, and it’s been both an absolute joy and a source of great sorrow to watch all the videos, all the tributes, and read all the stories about this great man’s life. From presidents and Prime Ministers to global superstars to the people who run the homeless shelters in Dublin that he supported, the tributes have flowed, reminding us of his brilliance and what we’ve lost. But incredibly, even in passing, he is still creating community, as people are coming together to share in their love of a man they never met. I’ve had messages from people all over the world, including as far away as South Korea! While sifting through all the footage, I came across this great video posted by Seattle Theatre Group when Glen closed down Virginia St in Seattle after his show in 2012. I’m standing right in the middle of the crowd behind Glen and end up getting blocked from view by Glen’s drummer, who was enthusiastically playing the tambourine. This is one of the craziest musical experiences I've ever had. Glen had led his band off the stage, through the foyer, and out across the street, into a restaurant, and then back out onto the street to continue to play for his audience. I read somewhere that someone said Glen didn’t have a following, but he had a flock, and I think this so beautifully articulates the passion we all had for everything he brought into the world, which is far more than just his brilliant music. #glenhansard #glenhansardrip #music #seattle

Asking For A Friend is out now!!! Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing. From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon. What better way to share the view than with close friends? In 1992 I first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer. 33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age. Take cover. But none of this would be complete without new music to share from Pat, Nate, Chris, Rami, Ilan and I. ‘Asking for a Friend’ is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again. One of many songs to come… Dave
