There’s a candid strategy to the Darkness‘ albums that can be misconstrued as simplistic or, under worst circumstances, campy to casual observers. But they’re neither, despite the outside appearances. The British band, which exploded to prominence with their 2003 debut Permission to Land, finely tune their 1970s-inspired, glam-coated hard rock for maximum impact. There’s nothing simple about their methods.

Still, the knowing wink behind Justin Hawkins’ classic rock moves is quick to spot after 22 years. The cover of the Darkness’ last album, 2021’s Motorheart, featured what can only be referred to as phallic-shaped mechanical creatures sprouting from a cosmic netherworld that was tied to a song about having sex with robots. It’s as if Roger Dean’s artwork turned pornographic instead of into fantasy.

Similar amusing touches are all over the band’s eighth album, Dreams on Toast, from its peculiar title to the opening track, “Rock and Roll Party Cowboy,” which somehow manages to encompass the exact hellbent-for-a-good-time attitude its name conveys. Yet they also reveal a heart beating beneath the spangled jumpsuits and soaring falsetto: “There goes thе best seven years of my life / There goes a girl who only saw me, not my influence or my wealth / There goes the only human being I have ever loved more than I hate myself,” Hawkins sings in the deceivingly peppy “I Hate Myself.”

If Motorheart could be framed as a semi-concept album about relationships in the modern age, Dreams on Toast bears no overriding theme other than have a good time and try to get out alive; if you can’t, that’s cool, too. The album’s 33 minutes whiz by, with power pop, metal and even some galloping country (“Hot on My Tail,” “Cold Hearted Woman”) tossed into the fidgety mix.

It’s easy to name touchstones in the Darkness’ music, from “Rock and Roll Party Cowboy” and “Mortal Dread”‘s AC/DC boogie to the Beatles-via-Queen bounce of “The Longest Kiss” to “Walking Through Fire,” a love letter to the Darkness themselves. (“Our next long player is coming out soon / I’ll be honest, I’m under the moon / We’re only doing this cause it’s fun / Don’t even think my mum bought the last one,” Hawkins admits over opening acoustic guitars that escort one of the Darkness’ best songs.) But more than two decades from their debut, Dreams on Toast proves the band is still charting a path of its own making.

More From Ultimate Classic Rock

From their barnstorming 1978 days as an opening act to their final shows as homecoming rock legends in 2015, Van Halen‘s set lists changed a lot over their touring career.

Here’s a chronological breakdown of the average set lists from each of Van Halen’s 15 major tours, showing which songs were added from the group’s 12 studio albums for each new tour, and which were taken out of rotation.

Of course, Van Halen’s song choices often depending on who was their lead singer at the time of each tour. When Sammy Hagar took over for David Lee Roth in 1986, he was careful to lean more heavily on his own work with the band instead of filling half the show with Roth-era classics.

Upon his return to the group in 2007, Roth drew an even clearer line in the sand, never singing a single Hagar-era song during any of the group’s three final tours. As for Gary Cherone? In his brief time as the group’s frontman he was an equal opportunity singer.

With data from SetList.fm, here’s a look at how Van Halen’s set lists evolved between 1978 and 2015.

It should be noted that each entry below is focused on the average set lists for each tour – sometimes Van Halen would switch things up for a show or two, or for a portion of the tour. It’s also a bit hard to track instrumental songs such as “Eruption” and “Cathedral,” which start out getting their own spot on the set list but were eventually subsumed into Eddie Van Halen‘s nightly guitar solo showcase.

1978 World Tour

After years of honing their performance and songwriting skills on the club scene, Van Halen exploded onto the rock world at large with their self-titled 1978 debut album.

The group capitalized by performing a staggering 174 shows that year, opening for – and often stealing the spotlight from – everybody from Journey to Ted Nugent to the Rolling Stones. Although they understandably focused on material from their first album, they would occasionally sneak in “Somebody Get Me a Doctor,” which wound up on their second album.

Typical 1978 World Tour Set List

1. “On Fire”
2. “I’m the One”
3. Bass Solo
4. “Runnin’ With the Devil”
5. “Atomic Punk”
6. Drum Solo
7. “Little Dreamer”
8. “Feel Your Love Tonight”
9. “Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love”
10. Guitar Solo
11. “You Really Got Me” (Kinks cover)
12. “Ice Cream Man” (John Brim cover)

1979 ‘World Vacation’ Tour

Van Halen kept the pedal to the metal in 1979, releasing Van Halen II just thirteen months after their debut, taking advantage of the large backlog of original material they had assembled before signing a record deal.

They were full-time arena headliners already, a change which allowed them to add a heavy dose of songs from the new album while keeping most of the songs from their previous tour, and even adding Van Halen‘s “Jamie’s Cryin'” into permanent rotation.

Typical World Vacation Tour Set List:
(new songs in bold)

1. “Light Up the Sky” (from 1979’s Van Halen II)

1980 ‘World Invasion’ Tour

Even though 1980’s Women and Children First, was dominated by newly-written material, Van Halen turned it around even faster than they did their second album, releasing their third album just a year and three days after Van Halen II.

New songs such as “Everybody Wants Some!!” and “And the Cradle Will Rock…” were more dynamic and perfectly designed for the arena-sized audiences the band was now drawing.

They hit the road for the 130-date ‘World Invasion’ tour, adding five songs from Women and Children First and a cover of Jimmy Reed’s “Bright Lights, Big City,” while dropping previous tour staples such as Van Halen II‘s “Somebody Get Me a Doctor,” “Beautiful Girls” and “You’re No Good” along with Van Halen‘s “Feel Your Love Tonight.”

Typical ‘World Invasion’ Set List:

1. “Romeo Delight” (from 1980’s Women and Children First)
2. “Bottoms Up!” (from Van Halen II)
3. Drum Solo
4. “Runnin’ With the Devil” (from Van Halen)

1981 ‘Fair Warning’ Tour

Van Halen kept up their breakneck recording pace, dropping 1981’s Fair Warning just 13 months after Women and Children First. The dark and aggressive record found Eddie Van Halen asserting himself more in the songwriting process, the first steps in a tug of war that would eventually lead to David Lee Roth leaving the band.

They slowed down on the road just a bit, with 1981 being the first time in four years that the group hadn’t played at least 117 shows. With less pop influence than previous albums, Fair Warning didn’t reach the commercial heights of its predecessors, but tracks like “Mean Street” and particularly “Unchained” became fan favorites almost overnight.

Van Halen‘s “On Fire” returned to its early days show-opening spot, with “Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love” took over closing duties, and “Feel Your Love Tonight” returned to the set. To make way for a half-dozen Fair Warning songs, “Bottoms Up!,” “Loss of Control,” “Take Your Whiskey Home,” “Women in Love” and most shockingly, “…And the Cradle Will Rock” were removed from the set lists.

The audio from Van Halen’s June 11th show in Oakland, California was reportedly recorded in full, but has yet to be released. In fact, somehow Van Halen neglected to release a live album during Roth’s first tenure with the group. Video of three songs from the Oakland shows were released by the band and can be seen below.

Typical ‘Fair Warning’ Set List:

1. “On Fire” (from Van Halen)
2. “Sinner’s Swing” (from 1981’s Fair Warning)
3. Drum Solo
4. “Hear About it Later” (from Fair Warning)

1982-83 ‘Hide Your Sheep’ Tour

In need of some time off the road and away from the recording studio, Van Halen agreed to release a stand-alone cover of Roy Orbison’s ‘Oh, Pretty Woman” in return for a break from the grueling schedule of their last four years.

But when the song was an unexpectedly large hit, their label pressured them to get a corresponding album together. They reluctantly did so by cobbling together a bunch of covers, instrumentals and revamping old unreleased songs such as “Hang ‘Em High.” Although Eddie Van Halen was very unhappy about all the covers – consider this a loss for him in that tug of war – Diver Down ended up a surprisingly excellent and cohesive record.

The band hit the road again in July of 1982, staying on the road for just shy of 100 dates this time, including their infamously off-the-rails US Festival performance. A whopping nine songs from Diver Down were added to the set list but that number is a bit deceiving, as “Cathedral,” “Intruder” and their a Capella cover of “Happy Trails” are all very brief.

“Bottoms Up!” also made its way back into the set list, teaming up with the Diver Down songs to push out “On Fire,” “Sinner’s Swing,” Hear About it Later,” “So This is Love?,” “Sunday Afternoon in the Park,” “Mean Street” (leaving “Unchained” as the only Fair Warning song to make it to the next tour) and “Feel Your Love Tonight.”

Typical ‘Hide Your Sheep’ Set List:

1. “Romeo Delight” (from Women and Children First)
2. “Unchained” (from Fair Warning)
3. Drum Solo
4. “Runnin’ With the Devil” (from Van Halen)
5. “The Full Bug” (from 1982’s Diver Down)
6. “Jamie’s Cryin'” (from Van Halen)

1984 ‘1984’ Tour

Still smarting from being forced to fill Diver Down with cover songs, Eddie Van Halen built a recording studio at his own house and demanded more creative control on the next Van Halen album, 1984. He overcame the objections of David Lee Roth and others in the camp to include two keyboard-heavy singles on the record, and was proven correct when “Jump” became the band’s first and only No. 1 single.

The tour’s typical set list included seven of the nine songs from 1984. To make room, six of the nine Diver Down tracks were removed from the show, leaving just “Cathedral,” “Little Guitars” and “Oh, Pretty Woman.”

Van Halen’s “On Fire” was also brought back, helping to push out longtime staples such as “Dance the Night Away” and “Ice Cream Man.”

Six short years after they exploded onto the worldwide touring scene, the original lineup of Van Halen played their last-ever concert together on Sept. 2, 1984 in Nuremberg, Germany.

Typical ‘1984’ Set List

1. “Unchained” (from Fair Warning)
2. “Hot for Teacher” (from 1984’s 1984)
3. Drum Solo
4. “On Fire” (from Van Halen)
5. “Runnin’ With the Devil” (from Van Halen)

1986 ‘5150’ Tour

After shocking the world by splitting up with David Lee Roth at the height of their collective powers, Van Halen turned to Sammy Hagar, fresh off his “I Can’t Drive 55” success and capable of selling out arenas as a solo act, as their new frontman for 1986’s 5150 album.

Determined to carve out a new identity for their new lineup, the group resisted making music videos – which had been a big factor in 1984‘s success – and wiped all but four Roth-era songs from their set lists.

The show instead featured eight of the nine tracks from 5150, two each from Van Halen and 1984, and a pair from Hagar’s solo career: “I Can’t Drive 55” and Standing Hampton‘s “There’s Only One Way to Rock,” during which Hagar gamely engaged in a guitar duel with Eddie Van Halen.

Hagar mostly declined to sing the band’s recent hit single “Jump,” instead bringing up a fan or local celebrity to do the honors. A cover of Led Zeppelin‘s ‘Rock and Roll,” which Hagar and Van Halen played together while announcing their union at Live Aid, typically closed out the show.

This became the first Van Halen tour to be chronicled on home video, as a slightly condensed version of their New Haven, CT show was released as Live Without a Net.

Typical ‘5150’ Tour Set List:

1. “You Really Got Me” (from Van Halen)
2. “There’s Only One Way to Rock” (from Hagar’s Standing Hampton)
3. “Summer Nights” (from 5150)
4. “Get Up” (from 5150)

16. “Why Can’t This Be Love” (from 5150)
17. “Jump” (from 1984)

1988-1989 ‘OU812’ Tour

After a brief break to allow Sammy Hagar to record the contractually-mandated farewell solo album I Never Said Goodbye for his former label (with help from Eddie Van Halen on bass) Van Halen got to work on what might be their most diverse album ever.

1988’s OU812 saw the band dive even deeper into keyboard pop, as well as pushing their boundaries in other ways, such as the country-tinged “Finish What Ya Started” and the prog / jazz / fusion influenced “Mine All Mine.”

The group stretched out their set lists a bit longer than on the 5150 tour, keeping four songs from 5150 to go along with six from OU812, adding “Runnin’ With the Devil” from the Roth Years and “When Eagles Fly” from Hagar’s latest solo album. “Jump” also vanished from the set lists.

This would also be the last time Eddie Van Halen played live keyboards on stage. For their next four tours they hired Alan Fitzgerald of Montrose and Night Ranger fame to perform the keyboard parts off stage, and in 2004 they switched to using pre-recorded tapes of Eddie Van Halen’s playing.

The band’s Feb. 1, 1989 show in Tokyo was pro-shot and is widely available on the internet.

Typical ‘OU812’ Tour Set List:

1. “A.F.U. (Naturally Wired)” (from OU812)
2. “There’s Only One Way to Rock” (from Hagar’s Standing Hampton)
3. “Summer Nights” (from 5150)

1991-1992 ‘For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge’ Tour

After three increasingly diverse and pop-friendly albums, Van Halen made a return to straight-ahead guitar-based hard rock on 1991’s charmingly titled For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.

Only the surprise hit single “Right Now” – which used a traditional piano, not keyboards – strayed from this wall of guitars formula. The group’s live show changed accordingly, with keyboards relegated to an off-stage role.

Over 20 years into their worldwide touring career, Van Halen was still anything but a nostalgia act, as they put six songs from their new album into the set, cutting back a couple each from 5150 and OU812. Otherwise, the set followed the same basic shape as their previous two tours with Hagar – three of his solo songs, three from the Roth days.

This was the first Van Halen tour to be chronicled on an honest-to-goodness live album, the 1993 double-record set Live: Right Here Right Now. A full-length home video companion was also released.

The live album featured a whopping 24 tracks, including all but one F.U.C.K. song and a cover of the Who‘s “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”

Typical ‘For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge’ Tour Set List:

1. “Poundcake” (from 1991’s For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge)
2. “Judgement Day” (from 1991’s For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge)
3. “Runaround” (from 1991’s For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge)

1993 ‘Right Here Right Now’ Tour

On their first-ever tour in support of a live album instead of a new studio effort, Van Halen didn’t have any new material to freshen up the set list.

So they switched things around using their back catalog, bringing back songs that had dropped from the show in recent years and giving “Right Now” (which was only played 35 times on their last tour) a full-time slot.

Hagar’s “I Can’t Drive 55” and “Eagles Fly” were dropped from the set list in favor of another I Never Said Goodbye song, “Give to Live.” He also went deeper into the Roth-era catalog by singing both “Jump” and “Unchained.” Most nights the group closed out the show with a cover of Neil Young‘s instant classic “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

Typical ‘Right Here Right Now’ Set List:

1. “Mine All Mine” (from OU812)
2. “Poundcake” (from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge)

1995 ‘Balance’ Tour

Van Halen ran into stormy seas on their fourth and final studio album with Sammy Hagar. Personality conflicts and the arrival of grunge weighed heavily on the disjointed Balance, which nonetheless roared to the top of the charts.

With Eddie Van Halen dealing with a hip injury and his drumming brother Alex in a neck brace, the group’s shows in support of the album became known as the “ambulance tour.”

There was more variety in the set lists than on previous tours. Although it’s not listed in the average set list below, “There’s Only One Way to Rock” was played at about two-thirds of the show, and Balance‘s lead single “Don’t Tell Me (What Love Can Do)” was played at about half. (You can see the full tour stats here.)

As had become tradition, six songs from the new Balance album worked their way into the set list, edging out everything from OU812 and all but the biggest hit singles from 5150.

Two August 1995 shows from Toronto were filmed and released via Pay-Per-View in December of that same year, although the show has yet to be made legally available on home video yet.

Typical ‘Balance’ Tour Set List:

1. “The Seventh Seal” (from 1995’s Balance)
2. “Big Fat Money” (from Balance)
3. “Runaround” (from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge)

1998 ‘III’ Tour

For the second (but certainly not last) time in their career, Van Halen parted ways with another lead singer after the Balance tour, replacing Hagar with longtime Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone on 1998’s much-maligned III.

However you feel about that record, Cherone’s arrival gave Van Halen a singer who was eager to tackle songs from both previous eras of the band’s career. So in addition to the five songs they played from III on an average night, the group also dug out long-lost Roth-era gems such as “Mean Street” and “Dance the Night Away.”

The biggest hits of the Hagar years were also included. In a odd footnote, Cherone not Hagar became the first to sing “Humans Being” from the Twister soundtrack live with the group, since it came out after the Balance tour.

Michael Anthony also got a new way to shine on this tour, replacing his normal bass solo spotlight by taking lead vocals for Van Halen II‘s “Somebody Get Me a Doctor.”

The band’s April 20th show in Sydney Australia was professionally filmed and aired live on MTV. So if there’s ever a Van Halen III box set, maybe that will be included.

Cherone was dismissed from the band after a brief attempt to record a second album together, and none of the III songs have ever graced a Van Halen set list again.

Summer 2004 Tour

Did you ever get back together with your ex and then quickly remember why you broke up? That seems to be what happened on Van Halen’s summer 2004 tour, as Hagar returned to a tour that was plagued by personal disputes and Van Halen’s substance abuse battle.

The tour featured the heaviest dose of Roth-era Van Halen of any Hagar-fronted tour, with the once-banished “Jump” now serving as each night’s opening track. Anthony stayed on his “Doctor” duties, while most of Hagar’s solo songs were performed during his nightly solo acoustic segment – no more guitar duels.

Oh yeah and they also played all three songs from the new The Best of Both Worlds compilation album, which frankly are best forgotten.

After the tour-closing Nov. 19, 2004 marked several important (and somewhat sad) milestones. It was the last time Hagar would ever sing with the group, the last time they performed any songs from his era live and also the last time bassist Michael Anthony would ever play live with the band.

2007-2008 North American Tour

After 27 years apart, Van Halen reunited with original frontman David Lee Roth for a long-awaited and much-rumored reunion tour.

It seems Eddie Van Halen’s primary motivation for this tour was the chance to play live with his son Wolfgang, who took over for Michael Anthony on bass. (There was also some animosity over Anthony joining Hagar’s tours during Van Halen’s long stretches of inactivity.)

The foursome didn’t record a new album prior to the tour, but that hardly mattered as they had six classic album’s worth of songs, many of which hadn’t been performed live since Roth’s departure.

The group played at least two songs from each of their Roth-era album, paying extra attention their their 1978 debut, which dominated the proceedings with eight tracks (plus “Eruption,” which had long ago switched from being listed separately on the set lists to being the basis of Eddie’s nightly guitar solos.)

Obviously all trace of the Hagar years was erased, and Wolfgang had no interest in performing a bass solo, leaving extra room for his father and uncle to show off their individual talents.

Typical 2007-2008 Set List:

1. “You Really Got Me” (from Van Halen)
2. “I’m the One” (from Van Halen)
3. “Runnin’ With the Devil” (from Van Halen)
4. “Romeo Delight” (from Women and Children First)
5. “Somebody Get Me a Doctor” (from Van Halen II)

2012-2013 ‘A Different Kind of Truth’ Tour

Want to hear a wild stat? Van Halen’s 2012-2013 tour marked the first time in 18 years that Van Halen began a tour with the same singer who had performed on their last tour.

This time out they were promoting their first new studio album in 14 years, and the first to feature Roth in 28 years. Four songs from A Different Kind of Truth made it into the set list, including “She’s the Woman,” a reworked track from the band’s earliest days.

The rest of the show featured the most even distribution of tracks from each of the group’s first six albums ever, with 1984 and Van Halen getting four and every other album except Diver Down getting at least two.

This was also finally, finally the first Roth-era Van Halen tour to be represented with a live album, although Tokyo Dome: Live in Concert doesn’t seem to live up to the excitement and excellence most of us heard on that tour.

Typical ‘A Different Kind of Truth’ Tour Set List:

1. “Unchained” (from Fair Warning)
2. “Runnin’ With the Devil” (from Van Halen)

Van Halen 2015 North American Tour

Van Halen dug deep into their catalog for their third straight tour with Roth, adding a half-dozen rarely or even never-played songs into their nightly set lists. This including using Van Halen II’s “Light Up the Sky” as an opener, while also breaking out 1984‘s “Drop Dead Legs,” Diver Down‘s “Little Guitars” and Fair Warning‘s “Dirty Movies.”

The tour concluded with two October 2015 shows at the Hollywood Bowl in the band’s hometown of Los Angeles. During the first of them Roth paid an impromptu onstage tribute to Eddie Van Halen, telling him, “The best years of my life; the high points of all my life – onstage with you, homeboy.”

It turned out to be a farewell. While the band had been discussing a “kitchen sink” tour featuring Roth, Hagar and Cherone all together, Eddie Van Halen began battling a series of serious health issues in 2019 and died on October 6, 2020, bringing an end to his namesake band and one of the most impressive touring careers in rock history.

Their biggest album, their longest tour yet. Mastodon really hit their prog stride with 2009’s Crack The Skye, emulating their 70s heroes with an astro-political conceptual masterpiece. In 2010 Prog sat down with the men from Atlanta to look back on it all…

---

It may all seem a little odd now, but when Mastodon started out in 1999, most people believed they were a metal band – nothing more. It was only when the conceptual Leviathan album was released in 2004 that everyone noticed the fact that here were a band who actually had a lot more sophistication and complexity to their musical aspirations than could be accounted for by any abiding interest in metal. And this is a point that Brann Dailor, the band’s drummer, is keen to make at once.

“For us, the most important era in music – the one that really inspired what we do – was the early 70s. You look back at what was going on then, and it was all about bands experimenting, taking risks, without thinking about the commercial problems they might be causing for themselves. It was the artistry that mattered.”

And when Dailor names the specific bands from those days to whom Mastodon feel most associated, then you’ll appreciate that we are talking here about a progressive act who happen to have metallic elements, rather than a metal band who’ve indulged other types of music.

“We embrace the spirit of early 70s prog as being the way that you should always approach music. When you listen to the fantastic albums made back then by King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd… we’ve wholeheartedly taken on their ethos. Because they taught us that you didn’t have to dumb anything down to make your point. On the contrary, it was – and is – important to stick to what you believe in.”

Dailor should know what he’s talking about, as it’s mainly down to him that Mastodon took their current musical path. It was the drummer who first came up with the idea of the Atlanta-based quartet actually doing concept albums.

“I plead guilty to that, which means you either buy me a drink, or poison me, depending on whether you feel it’s something Mastodon should be doing,” laughs Dailor, clearly comfortable with his role in the way things have developed. “I was reading Moby-Dick, when it struck me that it could make a good storyline for a concept album, and that’s how Leviathan happened. Since then, we’re just far happier working within a conceptual idea.

However, what Dailor doesn’t mention until pressed by Prog is that he is also the man charged with coming up with the initial concepts the band then turn into albums, a role he’s happy to fulfill.

“I’m the one who has the first thoughts along those lines. I can get inspiration from almost anywhere, but what I might put forward to the others [guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, guitarist Bill Kelliher and bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders] isn’t anywhere close to the final story. All of us play around with the ideas, until we work them into a shape that makes some sort of sense to us. I always try to ensure that what I first propose is something I know the others would appreciate: after all this time, I know them well enough to reject anything I believe they’d hate without even thinking.”

Dailor has already come up with the basic concept for the band’s next album, the successor to 2009’s Crack The Skye. And Mastodon are already working on the songs to bring this fresh story to life.

“I don’t want to give away too much as this stage, but like everything we’ve done so far it is partly mythological in structure. Does it have anything to do with Crack The Skye? To some extent there is a connection, but it is a loose one.”

Dailor says that the concept has undergone quite a process of rewrite since he first proposed it, but now the band are getting the music together. They hope to be in the studio by the start of May, recording what could prove to be their biggest challenge to date.

“It’s what keeps us going, the opportunity to go further than we’ve ever done. And this time there’s a lot to live up to. The music is still heavy in parts – that’ll never disappear – but there’s also a groove that I’d describe as being close to mid-70s Led Zeppelin.”

At the time of writing the band have yet to make a decision on the producer they’ll use this time, with Dailor admitting there are a few names in the frame. And the album title is also up in the air.

“That’s nothing unusual for us. That’s always a last-minute decision, There are a few possibilities that we’re considering, but what the rest of the guys don’t know is that I have a title I think will work brilliantly – the only thing is that I haven’t told any of them yet.”

Dailor hopes that the record will be out late summer, and is more than happy with the commitment made to Mastodon by current label Warner Bros.

“This is the last album we owe them under the current agreement, but I hope they decide we’re worth picking up for a contract extension. We’ve enjoyed working closely with them. And it’s not their fault we haven’t had huge sales. It’s the times we live in. Someone recently told me that if you took into account all the illegal downloading that goes on, then the 350,000 sales we had with Crack The Skye probably equates to over a million copies in earlier days. How do I feel about it? It’s hard to have an opinion, because that’s going to change nothing. I’m happy we have a career.”

Right now, the band are also promoting their first official live release. The CD/DVD Live At The Aragon was filmed and recorded at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on October 19, 2009. The centrepiece is unquestionably a performance of Crack The Skye in its entirety, something that became such a crucial part of the band’s live set on their last tour. Dailor is glad that they’ve been able to offer such a memento of a significant part of their development.

“That’s the reason we wanted to put this out. It was the biggest live production Mastodon have mounted so far, and we were determined to capture this. We had a 10-camera shoot in Chicago, which, as you can imagine, was very stressful. But what you’ll see and hear tells you where we were back then. I think it will be particularly interesting for anyone who failed to see us on that tour. It was an experience when I felt we truly came of age.”

However, there is one disappointment for the band as far as Crack The Skye is concerned. Such was the visual potential and breadth of the storyline – taking in Czarist Russia, astral and time travel, wormholes and religious beliefs – that there was a hope this would be turned into a movie in its own right. That’s a plan which the band held onto for so long. Now, though, Dailor admits they’ve had to let such ambitions drift away, to become part of another dimension that already houses so many other dashed dreams.

“It’s something we really did wanna do, but in the end the cost was just against us. We spent all the budget we had on getting the clips done which were used as backdrops for the live shows – and I think that was money well spent. Right now, the only hope we’d have is if the four of us took time out to write a treatment for the proposed film, and then one of us gets all done up in business clothes and tries to sell the idea to a movie studio in Hollywood. It might work, but that’s not what we’re about at all. So we’ll put this one down as the Mastodon ambition which got away.”

Although the band have their new album right at the core of plans for the coming months, there are also a series of summer shows coming up, including an appearance at the Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth Park on July 10.

“Typical Mastodon – we’ll get settled into the studio working on the new material, and then will have to take a break to go into rehearsals for the live dates. But, hey, we love playing onstage.”

Not only will these dates mark the official end of the Crack The Skye tour, but there’s just a possibility that the band will use these gigs as an opportunity to debut at least one new song.

“We might do that. The problem is that every time we’ve tried this sort of thing before it’s gone so wrong. We’d have to be really careful to choose the right sort of track. In all honesty, we might chicken out and avoid any new material for those performances.”

Mastodon are gearing up for a very busy end of 2011, with 2012 likely to be even crazier.

“I just love the fact that each year seems more full on than the previous one. Someone, somewhere always appears to have plans for us!”

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett reflects on his more than 40 years with the thrash metal icons in a new interview that touches on everything from toxic masculinity to his love of surfing.

Hammett, 62, says his reputation as Metallica’s peacemaker – particularly during well-documented tensions between drummer Lars Ulrich and frontman James Hetfield – doesn’t tell the whole story.

He tells the Telegraph: “I have to say, I do have a temper. And I can butt heads with people. I butt heads with James and Lars occasionally. It’s just part of being in a band and being with someone for 40-plus years.

“We were like a gang of youths and just looking for somewhere to belong. I came from a broken home, James came from a broken home, Lars came from a broken home.

“The most well-adjusted person was Cliff Burton. We were all basket cases! But we created this thing called Metallica that’s been our refuge. It’s been the one constant in our lives.

“I was equally as ornery as Lars and James. When I joined the band, I was right in there talking shit and doing crazy stuff, just as much as James and Lars and Cliff were.”

Reflecting on that toxic masculinity that fuelled the band in the early days leads Hammett to reflect on life in America today, where President Donald Trump and his most senior advisors have more than raised eyebrows with their rhetoric and actions in his second term in office.

He says: “In the last two or three years, I’ve gotten way into ancient history, and the interesting thing is that, back then, almost all the major civilisations were led by women.

“Matriarchal societies, they are very, very successful. This patriarchal society, with all this fucking masculinity stuff, it’s ingrained in all us males that, if males are leading at the top, that means all males in our culture need to be a leader.

“We can’t all be leaders and that’s where the masculinity comes in: ‘Who’s the best to lead, the strongest, the fastest, the meanest?'”

Hammett has never been afraid to speak openly about his difficult childhood, saying previously that his father beat him and his mother. With that kind of start, it’s no surprise that toxicity carried through to his young adulthood.

Hammett adds: “My dad was a full-blooded Irishman who liked to drink and liked to scrap. He was always fighting people, even fighting his friends. He would get together with my uncles and it was just one big fucking toxic soup of masculinity, and that’s what I came out of.”

The atmosphere in the band these days is seemingly much less toxic, and Hammett cannot envision ever leaving the band behind.

“Leaving Metallica is not an option,” he says. “If I ever left Metallica, everyone in the world would remind me that I used to be in Metallica.”

To unwind, Hammett takes to the ocean where he lives in Hawaii. He says: “I hate being indoors for any extended amount of time and love to surf.”

And he has also just released his new coffee table book The Collection: Kirk Hammett. Published by Gibson, the book explores Hammett’s huge guitar collection and is available to order now.

Formed in 1995 by percussionist Shawn Crahan and bassist Paul Gray, Slipknot immediately stood out from their peers, incorporating a nine-member lineup characterized by masked performers and explosive, chaotic live shows. Vocalist Corey Taylor joined the band in 1997, becoming the face and voice behind their aggressive sound, which seamlessly blended nu-metal, alternative, and extreme metal influences.

Their journey to national attention began with a self-released demo, Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., which laid the groundwork for their sonic assault. After signing with Roadrunner Records in 1998, Slipknot burst onto the mainstream metal scene with their eponymous debut studio album in 1999. The album struck like lightning, quickly achieving platinum status, driven by high-energy singles like “Wait and Bleed” and “Spit It Out,” which earned substantial rotation on MTV and alternative rock radio. This first album not only resonated with metalheads hungry for authenticity but also set the stage for the band’s fiercely loyal fanbase—dubbed affectionately as “Maggots.”

The momentum continued as Slipknot delivered their groundbreaking sophomore record, Iowa, in 2001. Darker, heavier, and even more brutal, Iowa quickly climbed the charts, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200, powered by blistering tracks like “Left Behind” and “My Plague.” This success cemented their reputation as uncompromising artists who refused to soften their aggressive approach for commercial gain. Over the following years, Slipknot continued refining their sound with subsequent albums—Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) in 2004, All Hope Is Gone in 2008, .5: The Gray Chapter in 2014, We Are Not Your Kind in 2019, and most recently, The End, So Far in 2022. In total, Slipknot has released seven studio albums, each reflecting their evolution while remaining true to their original ferocity.

Throughout their career, Slipknot amassed multiple accolades, reflecting both critical acclaim and widespread popularity. They’ve been nominated for ten Grammy Awards, securing the trophy in 2006 for Best Metal Performance with their powerhouse anthem “Before I Forget.” Other celebrated tracks, including “Duality,” “Psychosocial,” and “The Devil in I,” not only dominated metal airwaves but also broke into mainstream rock playlists, showcasing their versatility without sacrificing intensity. Their innovative music videos—characterized by theatricality, dark imagery, and unrelenting energy—earned multiple nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards, cementing their legacy as pioneers of metal’s visual and sonic frontier.

Slipknot’s enduring appeal stems from their relentless authenticity, relentless touring, and deeply personal lyrical themes tackling pain, identity, isolation, and rebellion. Fans worldwide connect passionately to their emotional honesty and unapologetic intensity. Their dedication to performance—showcasing elaborate masks and jumpsuits to create a dramatic, almost ritualistic live experience—has earned them legendary status on the global concert circuit. Few bands in heavy metal deliver performances as consistently raw, chaotic, and viscerally thrilling as Slipknot, whose fans continue to fill stadiums and festival grounds around the world.

Outside their relentless touring and recording schedules, Slipknot members have undertaken notable initiatives, supporting charitable causes and raising awareness on social issues. Frontman Corey Taylor, especially, has been outspoken on mental health and suicide prevention, openly sharing his personal struggles and advocating for support and compassion within and beyond the music community.

Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine has blasted the nu metal genre and says he’s happy it “went away”.

The thrash metal icon’s biggest gripe with the nu metal bands that ruled the rock world in the 1990s and 2000s is that, at least in his estimation, they “couldn’t do solos.”

Mustaine tells Lifeminute: “There was a period in 2000 where we had these bands called, I think it was nu metal, and they didn’t do any solos.

“Well, why didn’t they do any solos? They couldn’t do solos. And thank God that genre went away. People started to learn how to do solos.

“I would say, if you’re in a nu metal band, you probably would be challenged even playing Johnny B. Goode. So I’m glad that went away.”

Asked whether there were any new bands that he enjoyed listening to, Mustaine is still not very forthcoming.

He adds: “Well, I like some of the older music because new stuff I mean, all the good chords are taken. And if you think back when I started 40 years ago, the music playing field didn’t have millions of kids sitting at home doing guitar riffs into their computer and then posting it online.

“There’s good and bad with everything, and when people do things for their own art, that’s great. But when you start seeing these manufactured records that band members didn’t play on, that’s fraud. So, I like bands that really play what they do.”

He did have some kind words to say though, saving his praise for Pink Floyd‘s Dave Gilmour.

Mustaine says: “One of my favourite guitar players is one of the simplest guys in the world. It’s the guy from Pink Floyd, David Gilmour.

“He could do more with one note than some of the guys playing nowadays can do with 12. And it’s just a matter of feeling. The guitar, you’re touching it, so it’s an extension of your spirit, your soul, and how you make it sound.”

Kiss is set to return to the stage for their first live performance in two years.

According to an e-mail sent to followers of the recently updated KissOnline.com website, the group will perform an unmasked live show as part of the three-day Kiss Army Storms Vegas event.

The event is scheduled to take place Nov. 14-16 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. In addition to Kiss’ unmaked performance, the e-mail notes that a full schedule of activities will be announced shortly.

Fans can sign up now to receive more information when it becomes available via Kiss.Vibee.com.

Kiss concluded their nearly four-year long End of the Road farewell tour with a Dec. 2, 2023 concert at New York City’s Madison Square garden. But band founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley were always careful to leave the door open for future special shows.

A month before the tour ended, Simmons promised Rolling Stone that their MSG show would be “the final Kiss-in-makeup appearance,” leaving the door open for unmasked performances.

“Anything’s possible,” Stanley added in a separate interview. “Kiss is so far from over, though Kiss as we know it is done.”

Seether emerged from Pretoria, South Africa, initially forming in 1999 under the name Saron Gas. The band, driven by vocalist and guitarist Shaun Morgan, bassist Dale Stewart, and drummer John Humphrey, quickly made a name in the South African music scene with their heavy yet melodic sound. Recognizing their potential to reach international audiences, they relocated to the United States in 2002 and changed their name to Seether, signaling their ambitions to connect with a global fanbase.

The band’s major-label debut, Disclaimer, arrived in 2002 and successfully introduced their blend of post-grunge and alternative metal to audiences worldwide. The album featured breakout singles such as “Fine Again,” “Driven Under,” and notably “Broken,” a track later re-released in 2004 as a duet featuring Amy Lee of Evanescence. This collaboration significantly boosted their profile internationally, becoming one of their most recognizable and commercially successful singles.

Seether has since released a total of eight studio albums, each solidifying their reputation for emotionally charged music. Following Disclaimer, they released Karma and Effect (2005), which included hits like “Remedy” and “Truth,” establishing their presence on rock radio. Subsequent albums—Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces (2007), Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray (2011), Isolate and Medicate (2014), Poison the Parish (2017), and Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum (2020)—continued this momentum, showcasing the band’s evolving sound and consistently delivering commercially successful singles such as “Fake It,” “Rise Above This,” “Country Song,” and “Let You Down.”

Throughout their career, Seether has been recognized for their significant contributions to rock music. They received notable accolades, including a Billboard Music Award for Active Rock Song of the Year in 2011 for “Country Song,” reflecting their popularity and influence. Their ability to craft songs that candidly explore themes of emotional struggle, addiction, and personal resilience has earned them critical acclaim and deep respect among fans and peers alike.

Seether’s enduring appeal largely stems from Shaun Morgan’s deeply personal songwriting and the band’s authentic, no-frills approach to music-making. Their honest exploration of difficult themes has created a meaningful connection with listeners, resonating widely with audiences navigating their own personal challenges. This authenticity, combined with their energetic live performances, has cultivated a loyal and passionate global fanbase.

Outside their musical pursuits, Seether has consistently used their platform to promote mental health awareness and advocacy, reflecting their commitment to making positive impacts beyond music. Shaun Morgan, in particular, has openly shared his personal struggles with addiction and mental health, becoming an influential voice advocating for greater awareness and openness on these issues. In 2012, the band founded the Rise Above Fest, an annual music festival designed to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention, showcasing their dedication to social responsibility and community support.

Seether continues to maintain their presence in the rock music scene through consistent touring, new music releases, and dedicated engagement with fans. Their passionate approach to music and genuine concern for their community ensure that they remain a beloved and respected band within the industry.
