A 40th-anniversary edition of Tina Turner‘s Grammy-winning comeback album Private Dancer will be released on March 21.

The five CD and one Blu-ray set will include B-sides, live tracks and previously unreleased songs from the era.

One of those unreleased cuts, “Hot for You Baby,” has been issued with the box’s announcement. You can listen to the song, originally recorded for the album but left off, below.

In addition to the music included on the upcoming set, Private Dancer (40th Anniversary Edtion) features a Blu-ray with 4K versions of the album’s videos for the hit singles “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” “Better Be Good to Me,” the title track and more.

Private Dancer was Turner’s fifth solo album after leaving husband and musical partner Ike Turner in the late ’70s. Her abuse during the marriage led to one of music’s greatest comeback stories, as Turner remade her career and became one of the ’80s’ biggest acts.

After a five-year break from recording an album, Turner scored a U.K. hit in 1983 with a cover of Al Green‘s “Let’s Stay Together.” That led to work on Private Dancer, released in May 1984 and which went to No. 1 worldwide, won several Grammy Awards and turned the singer, now in her mid-’40s, into one of the era’s hugest stars.

The multiplatinum record was followed by sold-out world tours and other hit albums over the next couple of decades. Turner died in 2023 at age 83.

What’s on Tina Turner’s ‘Private Dancer’ Box Set?

The upcoming box set edition of Private Dancer features the 2015 remaster of the original album – which included the hit singles “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” a No. 1 song, “Better Be Good to Me” and the title track, all U.S. Top 10 hits.

There are also discs of B-sides, single edits and extended versions of the singles, and previously unreleased tracks and non-album singles, such as Turner’s cover of the Temptations‘ “Ball of Confusion” that helped launch her comeback.

Two CDs of live performances – from Chicago and Birmingham in 1984 – round out the music sets. The track listing for Turner’s Private Dancer (40th Anniversary Edition) is below.

Blues musician Barry Goldberg, who played keyboards for Bob Dylan‘s infamous 1965 Newport Folk Festival concert, died on Wednesday at the age of 82.

The news was confirmed via his publicist Bob Merlis, who noted in a press release that Goldberg died in hospice care after a decade-long battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Goldberg’s family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations in his name be made to the Bear League through savebears.org.

Goldberg was born in Chicago in 1942. As a teenager, he rubbed shoulders with blues legends like Muddy Waters, Otis Rush and Howlin’ Wolf, and also befriended a guitar player by the name of Mike Bloomfield.

Newport 1965

Both Goldberg and Bloomfield appeared with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, backing Dylan in an electric set that would go on to be one of the most controversial performances in rock history. Goldberg was thrown into the mix unexpectedly.

“When I got to Newport the producer, Paul Rothchild, was really obstinate and rude, and said, ‘Absolutely no organ,'” Goldberg recalled in a 1996 interview. “He didn’t want that element, he just wanted the five pieces. Paul and Michael tried to talk to him but he was just really against it.

“So I had nowhere to go. I was stuck there, a long way from Chicago. One night we were just sitting around and Bob showed up and said, ‘The keyboard player isn’t here yet,’ and Michael said, ‘There’s a great keyboard player here in Barry,’ and Bob said, ‘You want to come to the sound check?’ and I said, ‘Sure,’ and that’s how I got to do it, and it worked out great. And then we went on that night.”

Not long after that, Goldberg formed Goldberg-Miller Blues Band with Steve Miller. They released a single called “The Mother Song” before Miller left for San Fransisco. He also formed the Electric Flag with Bloomfield in 1967, as well as the Barry Goldberg Reunion in 1968.

As a songwriter, Goldberg’s work (some of which was co-written with Gerry Goffin) was recorded by the likes of Rod Stewart, Gladys Knight, Joe Cocker, Gram Parsons, B. J. Thomas and more. He also contributed to albums by the Ramones, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Leonard Cohen and others.

In 1974, Goldberg’s released his self-titled album, produced by Dylan and Jerry Wexler. It marked the one and only time Dylan produced an album for another artist. Goldberg later returned the favor by producing Dylan’s 1989 version of “People Get Ready.”

Listen to Bob Dylan’s ‘People Get Ready’

In more recent years, he performed and recorded with a band called the Rides, which featured Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Chris Layton. The band landed two No. 1 blues albums.

“When I’m playing with great musicians, it just opens up my history to when I started playing as a teenager,” Goldberg said to Blues Rock Review in 2016, “when we would go out to the south side or the west side of Chicago and play with Muddy Waters – that was another high point of my life, of my career: playing with Muddy, playing with [Howlin’] Wolf, playing with Mike Bloomfield, playing with the Chicago Blues Reunion. I’m spoiled. I’ve had a wonderful career, and now to be playing with a band I love…at this time and place at my age, to be getting off the way I am with the Rides…that’s it for me. I couldn’t want anything more than this.”

It doesn’t matter how many platinum albums they have or how many decades they’ve spent selling out venues — even the biggest and best rockers lose their way sometimes.

Some of the examples on our list of 10 Times Rockers Totally Lost the Plot might surprise you. There are some classic and well-documented duds on here, of course, but we’re not just focusing on traditionally bad albums. (If you want that, you can check out our much more extensive list of Rock’s Most Disappointing Albums.) We’re also looking at musicians who had the world by the tail, but still just couldn’t stop themselves from making head-scratchingly bad decisions that damaged their reputation for years.

That includes bungled album rollouts, disastrous PR campaigns, onstage meltdowns and desperate trend-hopping attempts that fooled absolutely nobody. We’ll revisit Metallica‘s misguided war against their fans, U2‘s unprecedented invasion of privacy and Aerosmith‘s ghastly foray into rap-rock — for the second time.

Some of these artists’ “missteps” still proved to be commercially successful, but it was in spite of their choices, not because of them. Others were flat-out flops, critically and commercially. The good news is that in the music business, you’re only as good (or bad) as your last release. So while some of these tailspins lasted upwards of a decade, in other cases, the artists bounced back fairly quickly.

Steel yourself against the secondhand embarrassment and read on to see 10 Times Rockers Totally Lost the Plot.

news electric callboy heavy metal

German techno-metallers Electric Callboy will drop their new single, “Elevator Operator”, on January 24. They have released an official video trailer, which can be viewed below.

In June 2024, Electric Callboy and Japan’s Babymetal teamed up for a new song, “Ratatata”, which is now available on all digital platforms.

They have released an official live video for the song, which can be viewed below. It was shot on May 25th at Fox Fest 2024 in Saitama, Japan, and was the first time Electric Callboy and Babymetal performed together live.

Testimony Records have announced Dutch death metal veterans AntropomorphiA have signed a multi-album deal with the label. Welcome to our choice roster. AntropomorphiA will release their sixth full-length via Testimony Records in 2025.

“We stand at the gates of a new dawn”, guitarist and vocalist Ferry Damen writes. “With venomous energy and fanatical determination, we enter this new chapter of AntropomorphiA. Partnering with Testimony Records, we are set to unleash our dark creativity upon this decaying world, ready to devour flesh and souls.”

“We’re thrilled to announce the signing of AntropomorphiA”, label manager Thomas Strater enthuses. “This band has been a driving force of the Dutch death metal scene for the past 35 years and especially over the last decade where they refined their sound to the hybrid monster that it is today. Their unique creation of uncompromising blackened death metal will drag you to hell once it got a hold of you!”

AntropomporhiA were spawned from the foul stench of death in the Dutch city of Tilburg in 1990, which makes them a corner stone of the brutal scene of the Netherlands. 

After releasing their first official demo Bowel Mutilation (1992) the band immediately captured a record deal and recorded the EP Necromantic Love Songs” (1993) only a few months later, which became a cult classic.

Despite the occasional hiatus, AntropomporhiA continuously cemented their status as underground icons with a string of acclaimed releases. The debut full-length Pure (1998) was followed by the albums Evangelivm Nekromantia (2012), Rites ov Perversion (2014), Sermon ov Wrath (2017), and Merciless Savagery (2019).

Lineup:
Ferry Damen – vocals, guitar

Sony Pictures Classics/Sony Pictures UK have released a new teaser for the upcoming “Becoming Led Zeppelin” documentary, in which the members of the band recall the very first time they played together. Check it out below:

Piece Of Magic Entertainment and Sony Pictures Classics recently partnered to announce that Becoming Led Zeppelin will be released in European cinemas in February 2025.

Becoming Led Zeppelin explores the origins of this iconic group and their meteoric rise in just one year against all the odds. Powered by awe-inspiring, psychedelic, never-before-seen footage, performances and music, Bernard MacMahon’s experiential cinematic odyssey explores Led Zeppelin’s creative, musical, and personal origin story. The film is told in Led Zeppelin’s own words and is the first officially sanctioned film on the group.

Fans of the iconic band will be able to see the documentary from February 26 in France, Belgium and Luxembourg, and February 27 in The Netherlands. Poland, Czech Republic & Slovakia will also release in February, with exact dates to follow.        
The hybrid docu-concert film also unveils a huge amount of rare and unseen Led Zeppelin performance footage. The result is a visceral musical experience that will transport audiences into the concert halls of Led Zeppelin’s earliest tours, accompanied by intimate, exclusive commentary from the famously private band.

The exciting documentary will also be available in IMAX in certain territories. Director Bernard MacMahon said: “The cinematic power of IMAX paired with the film’s authentic sound creates an immersive and transportive viewing experience letting audiences feel like they are there, in the venues with the band.”    

Becoming Led Zeppelin is a movie that almost didn’t come to fruition – the filmmakers were up against epic challenges, including the fact that hardly any footage from the band’s early period existed. MacMahon and McGourty embarked on a global detective search for material to illustrate the band’s story.

“We spent five years flying back and forth across the Atlantic scouring attics and basements in pursuit of rare and unseen film footage, photographs and music recordings,” writer/producer Allison McGourty said. “Then we transferred each piece of media with custom techniques, so that in IMAX, these 55-year-old clips and music would look and sound like they came out of the lab yesterday.”

Becoming Led Zeppelin is directed by the award-winning, Emmy® and BAFTA® nominated Bernard MacMahon (American Epic), and written by MacMahon and BAFTA® nominated producer Allison McGourty. It is produced by McGourty and Paradise Pictures in association with Big Beach, alongside executive producers Michael B Clark, Alex Turtletaub, Cynthia Heusing, David Kistenbroker, Duke Erikson, Simon Moran, and Ged Doherty. Editing is by Dan Gitlin, sound supervision is by Nick Bergh, sound restoration is by Grammy® Award winner Peter Henderson, with archival research from Kate Griffiths and Rich Remsberg.

Onslaught founding member and guitarist, Nige Rockett, makes his return to the live stage with the band after a three year absence following a long battle with illness.

His first appearance back will be on the 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise later this month as Onslaught kick off a year of 40th Anniversary shows celebrating the release of their debut album, Power From Hell.

Rockett has endured a number of cancer removal operations, Chemotherapy as well as two spinal operations (upper and lower spine) during his forced hiatus, with both conditions now thankfully in full remission / recovery and continuing to heal.

Rockett comments: “It’s been a kinda brutal time over the past few years but it’s great to finally be back, I’m not 100% by any means and its gonna take a fair while to get the fitness back but this will help massively for sure.

“Sadly no more head banging for me, the surgeons have told me that it was the likely cause of one of the original injuries and that i must behave in the future or risk a recurrence!

“See you in the Pit!”

The band have also announced a European tour in May/June of this year performing their classic Power From Hell album in it’s entirety.

Friday night at Inkcarceration will feature headliner Falling In Reverse, along with Knocked Loose and Beartooth; Saturday will be headlined by Slipknot, supported by Marilyn Manson and Slaughter To Prevail; and Five Finger Death Punch will headline Sunday, joined by Three Days Grace (with Adam Gontier) and Lamb of God.

Clown of Slipknot said, “Slipknot is playing very few shows in the U.S. this year, so this will be special. It will be good to be back with our friends, family, and culture at the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival. Stay safe! Stay (sic)!”

Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse said, “I am honored to play side by side with legends like Slipknot, a band that I grew up listening to. See you soon, Ohio!!!”

“The fan experience at Inkcarceration is the top priority every year,” added Dan Janssen, Co-Founder and GM of Inkcarceration. “We did a lot of work on the infrastructure after last year’s event, such as adding space, more shade and a larger viewing area, an expansion that was imperative as this festival continues to grow. We could not be more excited to unveil it to the fans in 2025.”

While festival co-producers Danny Wimmer Presents have unveiled some of the Inkcarceration 2025 bands in recent weeks, the full music lineup–including several reunions and rare performances–is as follows for the 7th year of America’s Rock, Metal and Tattoo Festival: Slipknot, Falling In Reverse, Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace (with Adam Gontier), Marilyn Manson, Beartooth, Knocked Loose, Lamb of God, Parkway Drive, I Prevail, In This Moment, Slaughter To Prevail, Acid Bath, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Architects, Chiodos, Killswitch Engage, Dayseeker, Bilmuri, Kublai Khan TX, Crossfade, August Burns Red, We Came As Romans, The Amity Affliction, DRAIN, Kittie, The Devil Wears Prada, The Plot In You, Attila, Drowning Pool, Snot, Sleep Theory, Emmure, Alpha Wolf, Currents, Spite, Bodysnatcher, Carnifex, Suffocation, Catch Your Breath, The Union Underground, Dry Kill Logic, Taproot, Crystal Lake, Signs of the Swarm, Distant, The Browning, 216, A Killer’s Confession, Of Virtue, Until I Wake, Mugshot, The Pretty Wild, Colorblind, Convictions, Swollen Teeth, Bodybox, Big Ass Truck, Silent Theory, Alyxx, Carbonstone, How We Feel, Bittersweet Revenge, and Archon Theory.

-Reunion shows for Three Days Grace (with original vocalist Adam Gontier), The Dillinger Escape Plan, Chiodos, Dry Kill Logic, and Snot (with new vocalist to be announced soon)

Inkcarceration will also have an expanded festival footprint for 2025, which means more space, better viewing, and more shade for fans. With the improved festival layout, the historic Ohio State Reformatory will become the iconic backdrop to the main festival stages.

During the festival, Inkcarceration attendees will have the opportunity to get inked at Monster Energy Tattoo X, the onsite tattoo convention hosted inside the world-famous historic prison made famous by the film The Shawshank Redemption. In addition, fans can take self-guided tours of the reportedly haunted building during INK—this is the only time outside the Halloween season that the award-winning Blood Prison experience is open to guests.
