Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello has been a fan of the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal since their self-titled debut album was released in 2014. Four years later, while recording his collaborative solo album The Atlas Underground, he reached out to the group to see if they were interested in participating. However, they weren’t available at the time. Now, in 2025, Morello appears on their song “METALI!!” from the album Metal Forth. In an interview with Metal Hammer, the musician talked about the band, explaining why he loves them. Tom Morello praised the Japanese band Babymetal “I’ve been a fan of Babymetal since I first heard them. I reached out to their management when I was making my Atlas Underground album [in 2018], which was a collaborative work with various artists, and at the time they were unavailable, and I was disappointed. Later on, they reached back out to me, asking if I was still interested in collaboration. Of course, I jumped at the chance.” “(...) I love heavy riffs, and the Babymetal Metali!! song has a collaborative heaviness that I think in many regards fits very well in my riffology catalogue. I also shredded some solos on the track. (...) I love what they have brought to the metal scene. It is an absolute breath of fresh air to have a band that has a completely different spin on a genre that often runs on the same cart tracks,” Tom Morello said. Babymetal was formed in 2010 in Tokyo, Japan and their current line-up has the singers Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto), Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Momometal (Momoko Okazaki). During their career the band released five studio albums which had other special guests like Alissa White-Gluz. They also performed live a few years ago with Judas Priest's Rob Halford. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkij4LvACZ0&pp=ygURYmFieW1ldGFsIG1ldGFsbGk%3DThe post Tom Morello praised the Japanese band Babymetal appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

The mastermind behind Mammoth, Wolfgang Van Halen, son of the late legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, revealed in an interview with Drumeo that although his father was talented and experienced, he struggled with anxiety, especially before each show. According to him, that's why Eddie used to drink before the shows, to relax. His father sadly passed away in 2020 at the age of 65, after years battling cancer. Eddie Van Halen's son tells how his father dealt with anxiety "No, it literally just happened (Me joining Van Halen). Dad was newly sober. I mean, the reason he really drank the most was because of his anxiety. Yeah, Eddie Van Halen was (anxious). He got very anxious before shows, and that's why he drank. And, I think, having me there really centered him. Like, he would even say, 'F**k, if my 15-year-old-son could f**king do it, then what's wrong with me?'" "We just started jamming out of nowhere. I made a playlist of all kinds of tunes, and I went home and learned them, and then we just started jamming. I put both Hagar- and Roth-era stuff on there. And I remember when we finally got Dave in, we showed him the list of the songs we've been practicing. He picks [it] up and goes, 'What's 'Get Up?' And Iwas like, 'Oh, f**k! Don't look at that list!' [laughs]" "The first song we played was 'On Fire'. I remember that, which is partly why I wanted to play that at the Hawkins tribute. It's so left field. That was really for, like, the die-hard Van Halen fans, which I knew Taylor was, so it just felt right," Wolfgang Van Halen said (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar). Wolfgang formed his band Mammoth back in 2015 and the name is a reference to an early band formed by his father Eddie and uncle Alex before Van Halen. Since then he released two studio albums: “Mammoth WVH” (2021) and “Mammoth II” (2023). All the songs from both albums were written by him and he also recorded all the instruments. From 2006 until their final 2015 show, Wolgang was Van Halen's bass player. He was also part of the album they released during this era: "A Different Kind of Truth" (2012). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdNopP--N7M The post Eddie Van Halen’s son tells how his father dealt with anxiety appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
