Singer Corey Taylor releases a new single, "Post Traumatic Blues".
Corey is no stranger to PTSD. In 2022, he set up a foundation that helps veterans living with post-traumatic stress. He said this song is his attempt to explain what it means to live with PTSD:
"It's so hard for people to understand the ups and downs, the severity of the coldness and the numbness, that I wanted to try to build a bridge lyrically between those living with the disease and those who are trying to help them."
Remember how guitarist Chris Shiflett released "Dead and Gone" in April and promised a full solo album later this year? Now it is happening, alongside a third single, "Damage Control". The album, "Lost at Sea", is due October 20. Shiflett said it was written in 2020 during the pandemic and recorded in Nashville. He describes it as "guitar-centric", drawing on everything he has listened to over the years, from country to punk rock and even songs that sound like a California version of The Clash.

The rest of the lineup is unchanged: Guns N' Roses and Iron Maiden open on October 6, while Metallica and Tool close the festival on Sunday, October 8.

What a disappointment... Due to the volatile situation in Israel, Buddy Guy announces the cancellation of his shows in the country. The blues musician, who has performed in Israel before, wrote on social media: "To all my fans in Israel, due to the ongoing unrest and recent military actions, I am choosing not to travel to the area...
