He really did almost break his back “keeping up with the Joneses.” Post Malone might be a little sore after that one. Falling on, or in this case, off the stage, I feel like, is a rite of passage as a musician. It’s one of those moments you can either lean into and laugh at yourself and the audience, or you can become embarrassed and become small the rest of the performance. Most artists can recover, though, and not miss a beat, and if they can’t, they can at least crack a good joke or two about the moment after the fact. Post Malone is no stranger to hitting the ground here and there, and has taken a tumble on his Big A** Stadium tour. He first took a fall in Orlando, Florida, landing on his behind after walking down a slope on the stage. In all fairness to Post Malone, it had just rained cats and dogs, so walking down a slick decline is begging for a fall. @bigdandbubba Post Malone slips and falls at his show in Orlando… . . . . . . . . . . #postmalone #posty #f1trillion #fall #slip #fyp #fypシ #explore #laugh #countrymusic #radio #foryoupage #music #country #lol ♬ original sound – bigdandbubba But it appears that Posty can’t catch a break because he fell for a second time on this tour during a recent show in Glendale, AZ. While performing “Pour Me A Drink,” Ironically, Malone had just sung the line: “Yeah I’ve been breakin’ my backJust keepin’ up with the JonesesY’all know what I meanY’all know how it goes…” Malone then placed his foot on a piece of the stage that was not sturdy while leaning over to clink his solo cup to a fan’s beer in the front row, and took a tumble off the stage. Given the severity of the fall, the fans near him gasped and screamed a little, but it looks like he landed on his feet, and barely spilled a drop of his beer in the process. A pro’s pro: @koty_sage I am SO sorry Austin. I love you! Such an amazing show @Post Malone #postmalone #glendaleaz ♬ original sound – Kota Another point of view showed that Malone sang in the pit for a little while before jumping over the guardrail and returning to the stage. Once he was back on stage, he looked like he took a few steps limping, but he appeared to shake it off and kept on with his performance. I hope Malone doesn’t fall any more as he’s about to embark on the Big A** World tour. @heyitssarahw I bet he didn’t spill a drop either @Post Malone #postmalone #postmaloneconcert #posty #bigassstadiumtour #extraposty #fyp #foryou #trending #concert #bts #arizona #phoenix #fonetrillion @TMZ ♬ original sound – Sarah Post Malone Tour Dates: Tue Jun 24 – Boise, ID – Albertsons Stadium Thu Jun 26 – Seattle, WA – T-Mobile Park Sat Jun 28 – Portland, OR – Providence Park Tue Jul 01 – San Francisco, CA – Oracle Park *Without Jelly Roll ^With Sierra Ferrell Post Malone World Tour Dates: Fri Aug 08- Cluj-Napoca, Romania* Sat Aug 10- Budapest, Hungary* Tues Aug 12- Prague, Czechia^ Wed Aug 13- St. Pölten, Austria* Fri Aug 15- Poznań, Poland* Sat Aug 16- Bratislava, Slovakia* Mon Aug 18- Berlin, Germany Thurs Aug 21- Kaunas, Lithuania^ Sat Aug 23- Horsens, Denmark^ Wed Aug 27- Milan, Italy* Fri Aug 29- Zürich, Switzerland* Sat Aug 30- Munich, Germany* Wed Sept 03- Paris, France Fr Sept 05- Hannover, Germany Sun Sept 07- London, United Kingdom^ Tues Sept 09- Amsterdam, Netherlands Fri Sept 12- Barcelona, Spain Sun Sept 14- Lisbon, Portugal *Festivals ^ No Jelly Roll This post contains links from our Affiliate Partners program.

This is a developing story.  Israel and Iran agreed to a “Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” President Donald Trump announced Monday evening on Truth Social. Trump’s post described an unusual sequence leading to a final settlement. “Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.” Iran has agreed to the ceasefire proposal, an Iranian official told Reuters. Whether Israel has also agreed is unclear, though it had signaled earlier in the day it was looking to wrap up the fighting. Trump said the ceasefire would begin at 12 a.m. ET.  Earlier in the day, Iran retaliated for America’s Saturday night attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, firing ballistic missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar. No Americans were reported harmed. The New York Times reported that Tehran had notified Qatari officials in advance, and Trump thanked Iran “for giving us early notice.”  The post BREAKING: Trump Announces Israel-Iran Ceasefire appeared first on The American Conservative.

Big Rock and Roll bands usually start their tours, for example, in the United States and then move on to Europe. Other regions like South America, Asia, and Oceania are usually their third or fourth destinations. After 10 years AC/DC has finally announced new shows in Australia, country where the band was formed back in 1973. "So far, only five dates have been announced, but with a lot of space between them, which leaves room for what older bands have been doing these days: adding multiple extra dates in the same location. The scheduled shows will happen next November and December in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane. Their opening act in those shows will be the Australian Rock group Amyl and the Sniffers. The band is formed by Angus Young (Guitar), Brian Johnson (Vocals), Stevie Young (Guitar), Chris Chaney (Bass) and Matt Laug (Drums). AC/DC 2025 tour dates in Australia November 12 - Melbourne - Melbourne Cricket Ground 21 - Sydney - Accor Stadium 30 - Adelaide - Adelaide Grand Final December 4 - Perth: Optus Stadium 14 - Brisbane - Suncorp Stadium The band performed live for the first time in years back in 2023, when they played at the Power Trip Festival in Indio California. Their first tour in almost a decade started in 2024 and since then they have only performed in Europe, United States and Canada. Before going to Australia, the band still have more scheduled shows this year. They still will perform in Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, Estonia, Sweden, Norway , France, and Scotland.

The Ringo Starr son, Zak Starkey, who was The Who's drummer for 29 years was fired twice by the band recently. One week after the first time he was fired the band announced he was back but one week later fired him again.  Everything started during a show where Roger Daltrey felt he was playing some wrong parts. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the musician revealed that his father told him: “I’ve never liked the way that little man (Daltrey) runs that band.'” Starkey also noted that he was playing it right and it was Roger who got the song wrong, probably because he couldn’t hear most of the instruments. In an interview with Ipaper, the band's guitarist and main songwriter talked about the case. Pete Townshend talks about Zak Starkey's firing from The Who “It’s been a mess. I couldn’t see anything wrong. What you see is a band who haven’t played together for a long time. But I think it was probably to do with the sound. I’ve lost my sound man as a result. I think Roger just got lost. Roger’s finding it difficult. I have to be careful what I say about Roger because he gets angry if I say anything about him at all." "He’ll be sacking me next. But that’s not to say that he sacked Zak. It’s a decision Roger and I tried to make together, but it kind of got out of hand.” Asked if it was a difficult task to fire him, Pete started saying: “Well, I’ve never been a huge…” But then stopped and said: “I didn’t invite him in, right? Roger invited him (to join the band). And at that time, I don’t know quite why he chose Zak, but Zak is another Keith Moon. He comes with real, real bonuses and real, real difficulties. I will miss Zak terribly. But quite what the story is, I don’t f**king know. I really don’t know,” Pete Townshend said. Starkey was replaced by Scott Devours, who is Roger Daltrey‘s solo band drummer. Devours is one year younger than Starkey and is American. He was previously part of bands like Oleander and IMA Robot. He is a good friend of the band and works with Daltrey for more than a decade already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeQebo7yYCs&pp=ygUocm9jayBhbmQgcm9sbCBnYXJhZ2UgdGhlIHdobyBuZXcgZHJ1bW1lcg%3D%3DThe post Pete Townshend talks about Zak Starkey’s firing from The Who appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

The legendary British guitarist Mick Ralphs, known for being a member of Mott The Hoople and Bad Company, passed away at the age of 81. The news was shared by Bad Co.'s social media and noted that Ralphs' final show with the band was in 2016  and a few days later, the musician suffered a debilitating stroke and remained bedridden until his passing. Read the complete statament about the death of Mick Ralph "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mick Ralphs. Mick Ralphs, the influential guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder of the iconic rock bands Bad Company and Mott The Hoople, has passed away at the age of 81. He is survived by the love of his life, Susie Chavasse, his two children, three step-children and his beloved bandmates Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke. He also leaves behind millions of devoted fans and friends across the world." "'Our Mick has passed, my heart just hit the ground. He has left us with exceptional songs and memories. He was my friend, my songwriting partner, an amazing and versatile guitarist who had the greatest sense of humour. Our last conversation a few days ago we shared a laugh but it won't be our last. There are many memories of Mick that will create laughter. Condolences to everyone who loved him especially his one true love, Susie. I will see you in heaven.' Love Paul". It continued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQnFO3k8YxM&pp=ygUQYmFkIGNvbXBhbnkgMjAxNg%3D%3D “'He was a dear friend, a wonderful songwriter, and an exceptional guitarist. We will miss him deeply,' Simon Kirke. Paul Rodgers of Free first met Mick Ralphs in 1971. After an inspired jam session and a mutual sharing of songs, Ralphs made the bold decision to leave Mott The Hoople and form a new band with Rodgers, and Bad Company was born. Adding former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell and drummer Simon Kirke, the band was complete. With the help of Led Zeppelin’s legendary manager Peter Grant, Bad Company became the first band signed to Zeppelin’s Swan Song label." "The group’s success was meteoric. Their 1974 self-titled debut went five-times platinum, producing classic hits like 'Can’t Get Enough' and 'Movin’ On,' alongside rock anthems such as 'Ready for Love,' and the title track 'Bad Company.' In a fitting tribute to the band’s enduring influence, Bad Company will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year in 2025." "Ralphs gave his final performance with Bad Company on October 29, 2016, at London’s O2 Arena. Just days later, he suffered a debilitating stroke and remained bedridden until his passing. Mick Ralphs leaves behind a powerful musical legacy that will to inspire generations," the official statement said.

Jethro Tull would have never been the same with the multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and vocalist Ian Anderson, who is the only one who was part of all the band's releases. They became one of the most influential and successful Progressive Rock bands of all time and although their music was focused on this particular genre, Anderson has a really broad musical taste. Over the years he talked about many other bands, including Dire Straits, the successful British group led by the guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Mark Knopfler. Ian Anderson's opinion on Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler The Jethro Tull frontman is actually a big fan of Dire Straits and the group led by Mark Knopfler even influenced him. He even listed their album "Love Over Gold" (1982) as one of the records that changed his life. "The quirky but controlled and percussive fingerpicking style of Mark Knopfler intrigued me from the first moment I heard 'Sultans of Swing' on a car radio while on tour in the U.S.A. I bought this album and greatly admired his controlled and spacious solos on 'Telegraph Road.' A man with musical discipline combined with the fiery flurry of youthful exuberance. Top guy!" Ian Anderson told Guitar World in 2025. One of the most praised Dire Straits records, "Love Over Gold" is famous for the track mentioned by Ian. But also for "Industrial Disease" and "Private Investigations". Besides Knopfler, at the time the group was formed by Hal Lindes (Guitars), John Illsley (Bass), Alan Clark (Keyboards) and Pick Withers (Drums). The Jethro Tull album Ian Anderson said was inspired by Dire Straits In 1987 Jethro Tull released the album "Crest of a Knave", their sixteenth studio album. The record was influenced by Dire Straits as Ian Anderson told Paul Roland in 1989. “The new album ("Rock Island - 1989) also has less of the Dire Straits influence which gave ‘Crest Of A Knave’ its contemporary sound. We were, in fact, heavily criticized for the Dire Straits flavour of the last album. Martin Barre and I consciously made an effort to avoid that kind of delivery on the new one. So Martin used less of the single coil pick up. I pitched the songs that bit higher and sang them more forcefully as I used to do. On ‘Knave’ I was trying to act out the songs a bit more. (Also) at the same time singing in a lower register and more quietly to save my vocal chords. Because I was worried about my ability to sing at that peak for two hours on stage night after night," Ian Anderson said. The musician also said that in the early 80s, Mark Knopfler asked Martin Barre's guitar maker to make him guitars. He wanted them to sound like the ones used by the Jethro Tull guitar player. “As far as the guitar sound is concerned, I know for a fact that in 1981 Mark Knopfler rang up Martin’s guitar maker. (He) ordered some new guitars. When asked what kind of sound he wanted, he said: ‘I want the sound that Martin Barre of Jethro Tull gets’. At that time Knopfler appeared to be playing an off-the-shelf Stratocaster with single coil pickups." Ian Anderson continued: "Martin was playing Hamer’s with humbucking pickups and was just about to get some single coil Hamers. (They were) made with the five-way switch and out-of-phase position and all the things that are now associated with Knopfler. I mean, there’s only so many sounds you can get out of the electric guitar. If you’re playing the blues and it was on our bluesier tracks that it was most noticeable. Then you’re going to sound like Knopfler who made that sound his trademark." "Knopfler was using that old Hank Marvin sound, but beautifully and cleverly adapted to his own music. So he got away with it. It’s the same as when I came out with the breathy flute sound. (I was) singing through it and so on and made it my trademark. If you’d have been into jazz you’d have heard Roland Kirk doing much the same thing." "But I put it to a different backdrop and brought it to mass acceptance. At a certain time making it my trademark. (Also) making it impossible for anyone in a rock band to use the flute without being compared to Jethro Tull. You wouldn’t have to stand on one leg to get stick. You’d get it anyway just by virtue playing it within the context of rock music. I don’t like to throw things back at Knopfler, but wasn’t he the one who everyone originally said was trying to sound like Bob Dylan?" Why Dire Straits broke-up Dire Straits' final concert happened in 1992 in Zaragoza, Spain. Three years later, in 1995, the band officially came to an end. The vocalist, guitarist and main songwriter Mark Knopfler decided to focus on his solo career. He felt that Straits' had become too big and he wasn't comfortable with all the fame that came with it. Since then the group keeps getting big offers to reunite but it never happened. His friend and former bandmate John Illsey once talked about those propositions. “Every time we have lunch (he) says to me: ‘I wish people would stop offering me huge amounts of money to put (Dire Straits) back together’,” he told The Telegraph in 2023.The post Ian Anderson’s opinion on Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

??????????‍♂️ This one is going back to 1992.

We are a baffling breed of contradictions. A society full of hypocrites led by Beta males and Girl bosses. That’s a pretty terrifying combination of failure so far.
