• Foo Fighters, Stevie Nicks & Haim Perform 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' [WATCH]

    Kicking off their two-night gig at Inglewood, California's the Forum Monday night; the Foo Fighters shocked the crowd with a gathering of special guests from the enchanting Stevie Nicks to the sisters in Haim. With Grohl still fastened atop his guitar-themed throne and lacking Tom Petty, he and Nicks sang a duet of "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Haim offering backup vocal assistance on the 'Bella Donna' track.
  • Led Zeppelin Dominates Albums Chart with 'Out Door,' 'Coda.' 'Presence' Rereleases

    A slow week in album releases means that one performer dominated record sales this week, and it's not Taylor Swift: Led Zeppelin landed three different albums in spots nos. 2-4 on the charts. The last three titles in the band's discography—'In Through The Out Door,' 'Coda' and 'Presence,' respectively—were given remastered rereleases, featuring new content, which was enough to bring classic rock fans out to record stores to pick up the new entries. 'Out Door' sold 24,000 copies, and 'Coda' came in at just less than that total. 'Presence,' perhaps the band's least popular album, sold 23,500 copies.
  • Disney 'Descendants' Tops Billboard 200; Led Zeppelin, Drake Return to Top 10

    Another week and another soundtrack on top of the Billboard 200 as Descendants, the newest Disney TV movie, manages to get its musical half to no. 1. The compilation moved a total of 42,000 units, which was the lowest number of albums moved by a no. 1 so far during 2015. It may have been a slow sales week, but Disney's not going to complain about another high entry for one of its soundtracks (Teen Beach 2 cracked the Top 10 earlier this year). This is the fourth soundtrack to top the Billboard 200 so far during 2015-the most since 2009-as Descendants follows Empire, Furious 7 and Pitch Perfect 2. We'll see if another title joins that list by the end of the year.
  • 7 Bands Keith Richards Hated (at the time): Led Zeppelin and The Beatles(?)

    Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones surprised the world this week when he claimed in an interview that The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'—what many consider to be the best album of all time—was a "mishmash of rubbish." Few people could maintain a career after dissing The Beatles, but Richards, regardless of whether we agree with him, has that sort of clout. And he didn't forgive his own band from experimenting with psychedelia, comparing the "rubbish" of 'Sgt. Pepper's' with the Stones' 'Their Satanic Majesties Request.' The guitarist wasn't shy about airing out his complaints regarding other huge acts, even when he was younger. In fact, during a 1969 interview with Rolling Stone, he badmouthed everyone from Led Zeppelin to, yes, The Beatles.
  • Jimmy Page Says He 'Can't Foresee' Led Zeppelin Reuniting

    Robert Plant is pretty straight forward when it comes to expressing his desire to move on from Led Zeppelin but that doesn't mean fans will give up entirely on a reunion. Jimmy Page recently said he can't see a Led Zep reunion sparking any time soon, since each band member can't agree on the right reasons to join forces again.
  • Jimmy Page Wraps Led Zeppelin Reissues, Ready to Resume Solo Career

    In case you were wondering the exact date Jimmy Page would resume his solo career, he's got the information for you. The Led Zeppelin guitarist will pick up where he left off on August 2, as soon as he wraps up the year-long endeavour to reissue each of the iconic band's nine studio albums. July 31 will mark the final release of 1976's Presence, 1979's In Through the Out Door and 1982's compilation album, Coda.
  • Albums Sequels That Worked: Led Zeppelin, Lil Wayne, Future and More

    The average blockbuster is hardly an original concept...everybody knows that the big money lies in sequels, such as the newly announced follow-up to Jurassic World, or the seventh installment of the Fast & Furious series. Granted, most of the time these films rarely end up being better than the original franchise. Although Furious 7 bucks the trend (the films actually got progressively better thanks to more and more absurd stunts and car chases), many questioned the need for the reintroduction to the Jurassic Park universe, especially after the last two sequels fell flat with critics (then again...all three of the follow-ups to the classic original have been box office smashes...so we're all to blame). Albums often work the same way, but occasionally the later chapters outshine the originals, or at least match them. Here are six albums that were better than the preceding ones with similar titles.
  • Horrible Songs for National Hot Dog Day, From Elvis Presley to Limp Bizkit

    Today is national hot dog day, a celebration of perhaps the most American of food items, and a time for everyone to enjoy their "tube steaks" in whatever way they prefer (your correspondent, from Cincinnati, prefers his with chili, cheese and mustard). Although there aren't very many losers when it comes to eating hot dogs...there are plenty of losers when the food item gets tossed into music. Here are five examples of musicians failing to find musical inspiration in America's favorite pork byproduct, from Limp Bizkit to LMFAO.
