Avenged Sevenfold featured on new Pussy Riot song

June 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Avenged Sevenfold is featured on a new song from the Russian activist and punk rock collective Pussy Riot.

The track, “Candy Dopamine,” is from Pussy Riot’s debut album, CYKA, which will be released June 12.

“This song is kind of a love & hate song to prescription and designer drug culture,” Pussy Riot founder Nadya Tolokonnikova says. “It started with my dependence on anti depressants, but it’s also looking at everyone now mentalhealthmaxxing and looksmaxxing via pills and injections.”

She adds, “It’s not a judgement, it’s just an observation and my personal experience with these things is that I have to be in a long term relationship with them for my PTSD and depression.”

“Candy Dopamine” is available now via digital outlets.

This isn’t the first time Avenged Sevenfold and Pussy Riot have collaborated on a song. In 2023 they teamed up for a new version of Avenged Sevenfold’s “We Love You,” from their album Life Is but a Dream… The new version was renamed “We Love You Moar.”

The R.E.M. frontman is set to be the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night, where he’ll be joined by producer Andrew Watt.

Back in April, Stipe made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he debuted an unreleased song, “The Rest of Ever,” from his upcoming debut solo album. During the appearance he revealed that the long-in-the-works album, which Stipe’s been teasing since at least 2022, will finally be released at the end of 2026.

Mick Jagger ‘can’t wait’ to go on tour with The Rolling Stones

June 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

While Keith Richards recently said The Rolling Stones had no plans to tour this year, it sounds like Mick Jagger is itching to get on the road.

During an appearance on BBC Radio 2’s Tracks of My Years, which also featured bandmate Ronnie Wood, Jagger made it known that he wants to tour again.

“I’d love to go on tour, I can’t wait,” he said, although he did concede, “I don’t think it’s going to be this year. But hopefully it’s going to be as soon as possible.”

The last time The Stones hit the road was in 2024, headlining a North American tour in support of their 2023 release, Hackney Diamonds.

The appearance on Tracks of My Years comes ahead of the release of The Rolling Stones’ 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, which is due out July 10.

Paul McCartney makes an appearance on the new album, as he did on Hackney Diamonds, and Jagger said working with him “was great.”

“We’re in Los Angeles and he did two days and he played on one song, was a punk song, and then this one’s more like a, more like a funk bass,” said Jagger. “So that was very exciting and … he was very quick, very quick learner.”

Ariana Grande haunts Justin Long in new video for ‘hate that i made you love me’

June 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Ariana Grande is a vengeful ghost in the new video for her song “hate that i made you love me,” the first single from her album petal.

In the clip, actor Justin Long is seen digging a grave in the desert; as he drives away, we go down beneath the dirt and see that Ariana is trapped in a dirty room, surrounded by black-and-white composition books, which she starts reading. One is labeled “Insecurities.”

Meanwhile, Justin drives away, throwing a picture of Ari out the window. He looks at the rearview mirror, only to see her sitting in the back seat. He then sees her standing in the road in front of him and drives through her. He panics and flips the car, which bursts into flames. As he staggers away, Ariana appears in the road.

Back at home, Justin tries to get rid of everything in his house that reminds him of Ari. He picks up a plate that reads “Happy 8th Anniversary” — likely because petal is Ari’s eighth album — and chucks it in the fireplace. That causes some kindling to spill onto the rug and set the room — and him — on fire.

A burned-up Justin then staggers into a diner, but all the patrons are Ariana, and so is the waitress, whose name tag reads “Petal.”

Finally, Justin goes back to the desert and digs up the grave. He descends into the room and finds it empty. Then, he looks up and see Ariana, who starts shoveling dirt on top of him. The end.

Dave Grohl joins Sepultura onstage in LA

June 1, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The final night of Sepultura’s North American tour had a special guest on drums: Dave Grohl.

The Foo Fighters frontman joined the Brazilian metal legends at The Wiltern in LA to play drums on “Kaiowas,” from their 1993 album, Chaos A.D. You can watch the fan-shot performance on YouTube.

The concert was not only the final show of the tour, it was the band’s final show in North America. Their current tour is a farewell trek, and the last show of their career will take place Nov. 7 in São Paulo, Brazil. Also on the bill is Metal Allegiance, an all-star group made up of members of Dream Theater, Testament, Mastodon and others.

Sepultura was founded in 1984 by brothers Max Cavalera and Iggor Cavalera, though neither is currently in the band. Guitarist Andreas Kisser recently told Metal Hammer that he reached out to the Cavalera brothers to be part of the final Sepultura concert, but they declined the invitation. However, former members Jean Dolabella and Jairo Guedz will be performing.
