Green Day has announced the soundtrack for their upcoming film, "Ni**ods", and has released a surprise new single titled "I'm Never Gonna R.I.P.". The song is available on streaming platforms and is part of the film's soundtrack, which will be released on July 31, 2026 . The film, titled "Ni**ods: A Green Day Comedy", is based on their iconic 1997 album, "Ni**od" .

"I'm Never Gonna R.I.P." is the first preview of the film's soundtrack . The song marks a departure from Green Day's classic punk sound, incorporating clear influences from 1950s rock and roll, reminiscent of Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry . This is the band's first new music since their 2024 album "Saviors" .

"Ni**ods: A Green Day Comedy" is a coming-of-age road movie co-produced by the band members themselves . The story follows three friends (played by Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust) who form a garage band and embark on a cross-country trip, mistakenly believing they have landed a support slot opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve in Los Angeles . The film, which hits theaters on August 14 , was inspired by Green Day's real-life touring adventures in the years before their breakthrough album "Dookie" in 1994 .

"Ni**od" was Green Day's fifth studio album, released in 1997 . It features some of the band's most iconic tracks, such as "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", "Hitchin' a Ride" and "Nice Guys Finish Last". The album was both a commercial and critical success, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard charts and being certified double platinum in the United States .

Green Day formed in 1986 in Berkeley, California . The band is composed of Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals and guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass) and Tré Cool (drums). They have released 13 studio albums, including "Dookie" (1994), "American Idiot" (2004), and "21st Century Breakdown" (2009). They have sold over 75 million records worldwide and have won multiple Grammy Awards.

Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor has spoken openly about his relationship with his wife Alicia Taylor in a conversation on Mythical Kitchen. Taylor revealed how Alicia has profoundly changed his life, describing her unconditional love as a key factor in his personal well-being.

"My wife is probably the first person in my life who has loved me for who I am, without wanting anything from me. If it weren't for her, honestly, I wouldn't be here. It wasn't until I met Alicia that I realized what real love and real appreciation are. She is my inspiration in many ways. She knows who she is and knows that without life, without family, what is success?"

Taylor also reflected on the cultural pressures men face regarding vulnerability and emotional expression: "There's a different culture that we grow up with as men. We're not taught to be vulnerable. We're not taught that being vulnerable is a sign of strength. We're taught to be stoic, to be strong. And in many ways, that fosters a lot of the negative things that permeate that masculine culture. All of a sudden, we find ourselves thrown into a place where we need that vulnerability. It has taken three therapists working simultaneously for me."

Taylor explained how meeting Alicia reshaped his perspective on love and success. The relationship between Corey and Alicia began to develop romantically in 2017, when Alicia (who leads the dance group Cherry Bombs) toured with Stone Sour. They officially married in October 2019 in Las Vegas. Taylor had gone through two previous marriages before finding this transformative relationship.

Alicia Taylor has also spoken openly about the depth of her connection with Corey. She has described Taylor as someone who showed her what truly selfless love is, saying she didn't know what real, selfless love was until she met him. This mutual admiration reflects a relationship built on genuine understanding and unconditional support.

What do you think of Corey Taylor's statements about male vulnerability? Do you think it's important for men to speak openly about their emotions?

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has named his perfect rock album in an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music. Grohl chose Pixies' "Surfer Rosa", and explained why the record is so special to him, from its production to its vocal chemistry. Grohl also paid tribute to the album's late producer, Steve Albini.

"I have many records I consider perfect, but one that comes to mind is Pixies' 'Surfer Rosa'. I love that record for many reasons. One, because it was produced by the almighty Steve Albini, and it was perhaps the first album to become popular and showcase his incredible sonic engineering technique. Charles, the Pixies singer, was an incredible lyricist. His lyrics balanced between intellectual abstraction and things that sounded absurd and almost silly. The combination of his voice and Kim Deal's (bassist) was a wonderful mix. That dynamic was unusual at the time. I've probably listened to that record 10,000 times and I still love it."

"Surfer Rosa" was released in March 1988 and, although it wasn't a commercial success at the time, it became one of the most important albums in alternative rock. Its influence extended directly to the early 90s grunge movement. Kurt Cobain openly stated that "Surfer Rosa" was the foundation and inspiration for Nirvana's "Nevermind" (1991), which sold over 30 million copies. The volume dynamics and raw emotional tension that Albini captured on "Surfer Rosa" can be heard throughout the Nirvana album.

Steve Albini, who passed away in 2024, was an influential sound engineer and producer, known for his focus on live recordings and his rejection of the polished sound of mainstream production. His work on "Surfer Rosa" preserved the natural sound of the instruments and the energy of the performances, giving the album a visceral quality that sets it apart from practically everything else released in 1988. Albini also worked with Nirvana on the album "In Utero" (1993).

Pixies formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts. The band is known for their style that combines punk, surf rock, and noise pop, with surreal lyrics and volume dynamics. Their influence on alternative rock and grunge is immeasurable. The band broke up in 1993, reunited in 2004, and has continued releasing music and touring since then.

Do you agree with Dave Grohl that "Surfer Rosa" is the perfect rock album? What would your choice be?

Mastodon members have shared a 35-minute video in which they reflect on their relationship with co-founder, guitarist, and vocalist Brent Hinds, who passed away in a motorcycle accident in August 2025, five months after his departure from the band. In the video, the musicians express their grief and talk about the impact of his loss.

"Losing him has meant sitting with a kind of pain we never expected. Brent was our family, someone we loved wholeheartedly. He was a wild man, our wild man, and that brought some challenges. Both things are true, and we're not interested in chasing one truth over the other. We miss the hugs, the high-fives, the disagreements, and the reconciliations. That part has been difficult, it's real."

Brent Hinds left Mastodon in March 2025, after 25 years in the band. The band announced at the time that the split had been "mutual." However, Hinds later claimed that he had been fired and called his former bandmates "horrible human beings." The band had not spoken publicly about the matter until now.

Hinds passed away on August 20, 2025, in a motorcycle accident in Atlanta, Georgia. According to reports, he was riding a Harley-Davidson when he was struck by an SUV turning left. Investigators determined that Hinds was speeding (between 63 and 68 mph in a 35 mph zone) and that he was responsible for the accident.

Following Hinds' departure, the band hired guitarist Nick Johnston (a Canadian musician with six solo albums) as his replacement. Mastodon recently released a new single, "Your Ghost Again", which is a tribute to Hinds. The band is working on their ninth studio album, expected for late 2026.

Mastodon formed in 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia. The band has released eight studio albums, including "Remission" (2002), "Leviathan" (2004), "Blood Mountain" (2006), "Crack the Skye" (2009), "The Hunter" (2011), "Once More 'Round the Sun" (2014), "Emperor of Sand" (2017), and "Hushed and Grim" (2021). They have been nominated for six Grammys and won in 2018 for "Sultan's Curse."

What do you think of Mastodon speaking openly about Brent Hinds' death? Do you think his legacy in the band is irreplaceable?

The version, available exclusively on the Subvert platform, returns the songs to their original state: purely instrumental, raw, and unfiltered.

I'm pleased to share it exclusively on the Subvert platform, which is very artist-centric and very opposed to supporting the avalanche of artificially generated music flooding most platforms."

Sol Invicto was formed in 2015 and has released several EPs and singles. The project combines industrial riffs, dystopian electronics, and percussive intensity to create a cinematic metal experience. The band has remained underground, focusing on raw creativity and a private community.

The Pretty Reckless vocalist Taylor Momsen has spoken about Soundgarden's posthumous album containing unreleased recordings with Chris Cornell's voice. Momsen, who toured with Soundgarden before Cornell's passing in 2017, expressed her excitement about the project, though she was cautious not to share information that wasn't hers to disclose.

"I don't think it's my place to talk about that. But what I will say is that I love those guys. I'm very excited and proud of them and everything they're doing. Just stay tuned."

Momsen also reflected on the profound impact Cornell's music has had on her: "Chris Cornell's entire body of work speaks to me on a level that nothing else does. When something touches you that way, it's hard to put into words. It's just this connection, like he's speaking to you on such a deep level that it feels like a part of you. I listen to his solo work and Soundgarden many times, but every time I listen to them, they evoke something different in me."

The album contains seven songs that were in various stages of completion at the time of Cornell's death. Among them is "The Road Less Traveled", co-written by Cornell and drummer Matt Cameron. The demos are described as very rudimentary sketches, and the band is actively working to finish them. Guitarist Kim Thayil has confirmed they are putting the finishing touches on the material. The project faced legal hurdles but was resolved in an out-of-court settlement in 2023.

Soundgarden formed in 1984 in Seattle and became one of the most important bands of grunge, alongside Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains. Chris Cornell was the band's vocalist and frontman until his passing in 2017. The band released six studio albums, including classics like "Badmotorfinger" (1991), "Superunknown" (1994), and "Down on the Upside" (1996). Cornell also had a successful solo career and with Audioslave.

Taylor Momsen is known as the vocalist of The Pretty Reckless, a band that released their debut album in 2010. She is also known for her role as Jenny Humphrey on the series "Gossip Girl". Momsen has been open about her admiration for Cornell and Soundgarden, and has collaborated with the surviving members of the band on several occasions.

What do you think of Soundgarden finishing Chris Cornell's posthumous album? Do you think it should be released, or is it disrespectful to his memory?

Tesla guitarist Dave Rude has explained in an interview why the band does not plan to release a full album of new original material in the near future. According to Rude, the time and effort required to record a full record are not worth it, since fans only want to hear the classics live. Instead, the band prefers to release singles individually.

"Shock is one of my favorite records, but we put a lot of time and effort into it, and in the end we can only include two songs in the live setlist. It's a big problem having too many classics. We have to play 85% of the set with songs we can't stop playing. Making a full 12-song album isn't worth it, because people want to hear the songs from their youth. If we make a record, we'd have to stop touring, we'd make less money, and our crew wouldn't work. At the end of the day, people want to hear the old songs, so why not keep touring?"

Instead of a full album, Tesla has been releasing singles individually, such as "All About Love" (2024) and "Time To Rock!" (2023). This approach allows them to write, record, and release a song without the pressure of a full record. Additionally, they can include the song in the setlist without saturating the show with too many new tracks.

Tesla will release a covers album titled "Homage" on July 17, 2026, through Frontiers Music Srl. The album includes covers of classics by Queen, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Etta James, and James Brown, among others. It is the band's first album since "Shock" (2019) and the first with drummer Steve Brown (who replaced Troy Luccketta in 2021).

Tesla's other guitarist, Frank Hannon, also spoke on the subject: "It doesn't make sense for us to try to fabricate 10 songs for a record. We prefer to enjoy the process and release one song at a time. We're experimenting with soul and R&B covers, like James Brown or The Temptations. It's more fun."

Tesla formed in 1984 in Sacramento, California, and rose to fame with their debut album "Mechanical Resonance" (1986), which included the hits "Modern Day Cowboy" and "Little Suzi". Their second album, "The Great Radio Controversy" (1989), produced five hits, including "Love Song" and "Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)". The band has released 14 studio albums and has sold over 14 million records worldwide.

Do you think Tesla is right not to release a full album of new songs? Or should they take the risk and do it?
