Classic Hits

Blondie‘s reissuing their 1999 comeback album, No Exit, on Friday, and Debbie Harry and Chris Stein are giving fans some insight into the record.

The band just released a new video, the No Exit Interrogation Tapes, in which Harry and Stein are questioned about the record. They reveal things like who came up with the title, their favorite songs, how it felt to reunite and more.

Both Harry and Stein say their late drummer Clem Burke came up with the title, suggesting he was insistent on it. Notes Stein, “It was kinda like, yeah, we’ll call it that, shut up already.”

Both artists also shared their favorite memories of Burke, who passed away in April.

“Clem was, you know, a singular character, but he was great with our kids when they would come on tour, and they remembered him very fondly and he was just really generous with them,” Stein said. Harry recounted a time when Burke came to her rescue.

“I was standing in the front of the bus where there were benches, you know, along the wall and something happened and the driver slammed on the brakes, but I mean slammed on the brakes,” she said. “And I was airborne and Clem caught me. And I was headed right for the windshield. I was going to hit that windshield.”

Harry ends the video by teasing the next Blondie record.

“I can reveal the name of the next Blondie album but … what’s it worth?” she says, with the camera cutting off, followed by “High Noon, 2026” quickly appearing on the screen.

Harry previously revealed the album’s title in a Los Angeles Times interview. Blondie also slipped the news into an announcement for a special edition of the 2023 Z2 Comics graphic novel Blondie: Against the Odds.

KISS drummer and founding member Peter Criss appears to be teasing some news.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, who left KISS in 1980, posted a new black-and-white teaser on YouTube that opens with images of a skyline on a rainy night, and then moves to what appears to be a rundown building with cobwebs on the walls, with crates on the ground that read “Criss.”

As a flash of lightning strikes across the sky, the image of a building that reads “Criss Incorporated” comes into view, with the images of cat eyes in the background, an obvious reference to his KISS Catman persona.

The clip ends with the date “October 31, 2025” on the screen, followed by the logos for two record labels, Flatiron Recordings and Silvercraft Records, Inc.

While Criss didn’t give any other clues as to what he’s teasing, the label logos suggests new music may be on the way. In April he revealed that he was working on a solo album.

If he is indeed teasing a new album, it will be Criss’ first solo album since 2007’s One For All.

A teaser has been released for the upcoming Paul McCartney documentary, Man on the Run.

The film, directed by Morgan Neville, looks at McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles, including the formation of his band Wings.

“The Beatles had broken up and I was thinking, what do I do now?” McCartney says at the opening of the clip. “How can I ever do anything that’s anywhere near as good as The Beatles?”

Set to the Wings tune “Band on the Run,” the rest of the teaser features archival photos and video, including clips of The Beatles, the rocker with his wife and Wings bandmate Linda McCartney, and more.

“I was on my own for the first time. I had to look inside myself, so I put a new band together,” McCartney says in the voice-over. “I thought, we should start from square one. It was a puzzle I had to unravel.”

Man on the Run is set to premiere globally on Prime Video on Feb. 25, 2026.

McCartney is also releasing a new book about his post-Beatles career. Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run will be released Nov. 4.

Duran Duran continues to embrace the Halloween spirit.

After releasing their 2023 album, Danse Macabre, which featured covers and new takes on some of their own songs, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have just released a new rerecording, this time of the Seven and the Ragged Tiger track “Shadows on Your Side.” Keyboardist Nick Rhodes says it was inspired by “the madness and joy of Halloween.”

And while the new release is a brand-new take on the song, it features the original guitar parts from Duran Duran’s original guitarist, Andy Taylor. 

“Shadows on Your Side” is available now via digital outlets.

Danse Macabre was inspired by the band’s Las Vegas Halloween show in 2022, with songs on the album embracing the mood of the spooky season. In 2023 they released a deluxe version of the album with three bonus tracks.

The Vegas Halloween concert was later released as a concert film, Secret Oktober, which is streaming on demand until Nov. 3.

Up next for Duran Duran, they’ll play a Halloween show in Manchester, England, and then return to the U.S. for a series of West Coast dates that begin Dec. 30 in Thousand Palms, California. The tour includes shows at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, 2026. A complete list of dates can be found at DuranDuran.com.

After spending months promoting his biopic, Bruce Springsteen returned to the stage Sunday night to join his E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt for a bash at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

The Boss made a surprise appearance at Stevie’s Party and the Pony, a benefit for Van Zandt’s TeachRock, a free educational initiative, which brings “sound, stories, and science of music” to kindergarten through 12th grade classrooms.

According to setlist.fm, Bruce joined Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul for three songs: a cover of the Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes track “I Don’t Wanna Go Home,” a cover of Eddie Floyd’s “Raise Your Hand” and Bruce’s classic “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.”

The performance also featured other members of the E Street Band, including saxophonist Jake Clemons, Curtis King Jr. and more.

The Stone Pony shared video on Instagram of Bruce onstage with Stevie, captioning the clip, “Happy birthday Stevie & Maureen,” the latter being Stevie’s wife. “Thanks for the visit, @springsteen — and for helping the Van Zandts create @teachrockorg, keeping music and arts in schools nationwide.”

In other Bruce news, the rocker’s biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White as The Boss, opened in theaters this weekend. It debuted in fourth place at the box office, bringing in $9.1 million.

Phil Collen is the latest member of Def Leppard to reveal his most memorable moment of being in the band.

In a clip posted to Instagram, the guitarist says that while he’s not someone who tends to love awards, the time they got their first Diamond award for their 1987 album, Hysteria, stands out as a highlight of his career.

“We went to this party in New York … there’s us, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Billy Joel, Elton John and blah blah blah, everyone in the same room,” he explained. “And it didn’t really occur to me, the magnitude of everything we’ve been doing, because it was the first break we’d had in years, because we’d been touring, album touring, album touring and then we stopped.”

“I remember going up to this podium, and literally you would see Elton and Billy Joel and Jimmy Page and Dave Gilmour and all of these people, and it was like, it kind of hit home,” he continued. “So that was kind of special, not because it was an award, but it was because of where we’d come and how hard we’d worked.”

He notes the evening “was the first time I actually kind of sat down and was like, kind of realized what we’d actually achieved, so that was pretty cool.”

Collen’s recollection is part of a series of posts Def Leppard has been sharing since receiving their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Oct. 10. Joe Elliott, Viv Campbell and Rick Allen previously shared their most memorable moments.
