It will then move to Nashville, where the guitars will be part of Julien’s Auctions’ Played, Worn & Torn auction Nov. 20-21 at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum and online at <a href=”https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/played-worn-torn-2025″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>juliensauctions.com</a>. “I’m fortunate enough to have owned many wonderful instruments in my life and I have amassed a very personal collection of basses over the last 40 years,” Clayton says. “They have all become favorites for one reason or another, a reminder of a particular tour or recording session. I return to them time and time again, it’s a very special relationship, I can’t really explain it.”“My only regret is that I don’t get to play them all as often as I would like, a musical instrument needs time and attention,” he adds. “I’ll be sad to see these basses go but this is an opportunity to give each and every one of them a new home in the care of a new owner. And maybe they can become someone else’s favorite.”In addition to the bass guitars, the auction will include Clayton gear, memorabilia and more. Guitars up for grabs include a 2014 Sherwood Green Fender Adam Clayton signature Jazz Bass, played during U2’s 2015 Innocence + Experience tour; his U2 360 Tour 2010 Warwick Gold Reverso electric basses; and his 200 Lakland Joe Osborn J sunburst bass, played during U2’s Vertigo Tour.More details about the auction can be found at <a href=”https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/played-worn-torn-2025″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>JuliensAuctions.com</a>.

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.

U2 previously played the venue in 1981 on their The Boy Tour.

Looks like David Lee Roth is planning to spend some more time on the road.

Back in May, the former Van Halen frontman returned to the stage for the first time in five years, headlining the M3 Rock Festival at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. He subsequently announced tour dates that kicked off in July and wrapped in September. Well, Roth is now letting fans know that his touring days aren’t over.

The 71-year-old rocker revealed the news on Instagram, posting what appears to be a Van Halen-era photo of himself with the caption, “Winter Tour Dates..Coming Soon.”

Prior to the May show, Roth hadn’t performed publicly since March 2020. He was supposed to play a Las Vegas residency in December 2021/January 2022, which was billed as his final shows, but they were canceled and he retired from performing.

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.
