Kenny Loggins blasts ‘unauthorized use’ of song ‘Danger Zone’ in video posted by President Trump

October 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Kenny Loggins is not happy that his song “Danger Zone” was used in an AI generated video shared by President Donald Trump on Truth Social on Saturday.

The clip featured Trump flying over a group of protesters in a jet labeled “King Trump,” and dumping some sort of brown sludge, or excrement, on top of them.

“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately,” Loggins said in a statement. “I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us.”

“Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together,” he added. “We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ – that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us.”

Finally, he noted, “We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.”

“Danger Zone,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 film Top Gun. It also appeared in the film’s 2022 sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.

Musicians pay tribute to KISS guitarist Ace Frehley

October 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Following the announcement of KISS founding guitarist Ace Frehley’s death Thursday, several rockers have taken to social media to pay tribute to the legendary musician.

Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready shared a photo of Ace backstage at a 2005 Pearl Jam concert, writing, “Ace was a hero of mine and also I would consider a friend. I studied his solos endlessly over the years,” adding, “I would not have picked up a guitar without Ace and KISS’s influence. RIP it out Ace, you changed my life. Thank you.”

Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5 called Ace “my hero & my friend,” noting, “Ace Frehley changed the world. He influenced millions of people & changed my life. I will miss you my friend.”

Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello called Ace “my first guitar hero,” writing that he “inspired generations to love rock n roll and love rock n roll guitar playing.”

“His timeless riffs and solos, the billowing smoke coming from his Les Paul, the rockets shooting from his headstock, his cool spacey onstage wobble and his unforgettable crazy laugh will be missed but will never be forgotten,” he added.

Tommy Thayer, who joined KISS in 2002, called Frehley, “A legend who will never be forgotten,” noting “it’s been an honor to walk in his footsteps.” Bruce Kulick, who was with KISS from 1984 to 1996 wrote Ace was a “one of a kind and truly an iconic guitar player,” adding, “Not only was he loved by all, he influenced millions of guitarists around the world.”

And E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt wrote, “Just as KISS has been underrated as a band all these years, so was Ace underrated as a guitar player.”

Others paying tribute to Ace include Rush, Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell, Poison’s Bret Michaels, Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Alice Cooper, Rick Springfield, Def Leppard, Twisted Sister‘s Dee Snider, Anthrax, Pantera and more.

Def Leppard’s Rick Allen reveals the memorable moment that left him in tears

October 17, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Def Leppard received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Oct. 10, and the honor has got them feeling nostalgic.

First, frontman Joe Elliott revealed his most memorable moment with the band — their 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction — and now drummer Rick Allen is sharing his.

Allen, who lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984, says in a new video posted to Instagram it was being introduced by Elliott at his first show back after the accident, at the 1986 Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington in England.

“It was interesting, before the show we all sort of said, you know, we’re just going to do it like a normal show and, you know, just no drama,” he says. “But as the show went on, you felt this wave of support coming toward the stage. And it really got to the point where Joe had to say something.”

He adds, “And for me, it was pretty incredible. I just broke down crying because I was so, I just felt so supported by everybody. And it was a massive success personally and for the band.”

Allen and Def Leppard have been touring ever since that day. They toured the U.S. this summer and will return for a Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in February. A complete list of dates can be found at DefLeppard.com.
