Here are the six best Dream Theater songs under six minutes! As the godfathers of modern progressive metal, Dream Theater are often praised – or chastised – for prioritizing extremely complex playing and lengthy compositions. Granted, they’re among the best at it, but that also means that it’s sometimes easy to disregard their skills as efficient and evocative songwriters. Honestly, Dream Theater have crafted dozens of great songs that emphasize irresistible melodies, moving lyricism, understated instrumentation and easily digestible durations. They may have some quirky or flashy “prog” moment...

David Gilmour has released a new single, a cover of the Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 song “Between Two Points,” featuring his daughter Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp. “I’ve had that song on my playlist since it was released,” David Gilmour explained in a press release. “More recently I mentioned it to one or two people: I assumed that it had been a hit, but no one knew it. I asked Romany to give it a go.” You can listen to the track below. “I realized that Romany has exactly the right sort of vulnerability and youth for the song,” he continued. “In fact, she was halfway through an essay with ...

Finding a good Van Halen summer song is about as difficult as finding sand on the beach. The group got their start backyard parties in and around perpetually sunny Los Angeles, and remained the living embodiment of Southern California’s laid-back vibes even after becoming worldwide superstars. When original singer David Lee Roth and the Van Halen brothers were announcing their 2007 reunion tour, he explained that their set lists would be made up of “all the songs you have been hearing blasting out of the backs of pickup trucks at Burger King over the last 20 summers.” Although the group’s subj...

If the first six months of 2024 have proven anything, it’s that rock ‘n’ roll isn’t just alive and well — it’s taken on plenty of different forms. The first half of the year has seen triumphant releases from stalwart headbangers like Judas Priest, Bruce Dickinson and Sebastian Bach, along with confident new albums from ’90s rock giants such as Pearl Jam, Green Day and the Black Crowes. Billy Joel returned to popular music after three decades away, and glam rock icon Ian Hunter showed he’s still got gas left in the tank. Meanwhile, Slash paid long-overdue tribute to the blues with a star-studde...

A few weeks after joining Chuck Armstrong on Loudwire Nights to celebrate their upcoming record, Deep In the Trouble, Goodbye June have given fans another taste of what to expect — this time with the incredibly heavy track, “Pile of Bones,” and its accompanying music video. As one of the frames describes in the opening of the video, “This is a song about grief.” “Pile of Bones” is much more than a song about grief, though; it’s deeply personal for Goodbye June. Tyler Baker, Landon Milbourn and Brandon Qualkenbush — bandmates and cousins — all experienced unexpected and tragic loss that led to ...

On the newest episode of The Metallica Report podcast, James Hetfield answered fan questions and named one new band he’s heard that has him really excited — Category 7. It’s a new band with a lot of familiar faces, including one member who was once asked to join Metallica decades ago. And even though Category 7 is full of some of Papa Het’s pals, he wasn’t aware of them until he caught them on the radio, so his initial reaction was an unbiased one. Regarding how he keeps up with new music, the Metallica frontman explains, “I flip through Sirius a bunch. It’s just so easy to go on to your playl...

At their U.K. tour kickoff, Foo Fighters surprised fans with the live debut of a long-lost song called “Unconditional.” The 24-song set (seen at the bottom of the page) found the rock legends observing a great deal of their catalog, playing at least one song off every album except for 2014’s Sonic Highways. Beyond the world premiere of “Unconditional,” other highlights included a slow version of “My Hero” and Dave Grohl performing “Under You” for the first time as a solo acoustic rendition. It all ended with the Foos starting “Everlong” twice since Grohl’s guitar died. Is “Unconditional” a New...

The Black Dahlia Murder have announced their new album, Servitude, and have dealt out “Aftermath,” the post-apocalyptic single that is the band’s first since the 2022 passing of vocalist Trevor Strnad. Fans have had a taste of what Brian Eschbach, the band’s founding guitarist who has now taken up lead vocal duties, sounds like already.

But now we have a look at the future, which includes guitarist Ryan Knight, who last contributed to 2015’s Abysmal. “Aftermath” is a lean, thr...

According to Morello, he’s a longtime fan of the Sheffield hard rock legends. “I played ‘Rock of Ages’ in my college cover band nearly 40 years ago,” he shared in a press release.
