The Foo Fighters try to purge themselves of writer’s block with a retreat to a haunted house in an insufferable vanity project of a horror-comedy
The estimable Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters has bafflingly decided to try everyone’s patience with this insufferable vanity project: a violent gonzo grossout that sadly conforms to the horror-comedy tendency of being neither properly scary nor properly funny. And it’s founded on the assumption that these real-life badass rock musicians are also pretty hilarious and adorable.
In this alternative universe, the Foo Fighters are creatively blocked: we see them sitting around the boardroom table in their record company offices, listlessly bickering. So the irascible corporate suit sends them to a notorious semi-derelict house with all sort of freaky associations with rock legends of the past, there to work on their new album. It was apparently last used by a troubled band called Dreamwidow,...

Does Eminem deserve to get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Obviously! But his inclusion among the nominees for the class of 2022 has raised equally obvious questions about whether it’s right for him to be inducted before rap legends and pioneers who preceded him, from Rakim to Snoop Dogg.
The new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now dives into that controversy, with veteran journalist Keith Murphy — who previously wrote about Eminem and the Hall’s “hip-hop problem” — joining host Brian Hiatt for the discussion. To hear the whole episode,...

When Taylor Hawkins, Dave Navarro, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney started jamming together at Hawkins’ L.A. home studio in early 2020, they had little ambition beyond killing time during the pandemic. “After a couple of songs, we realized we had a sound,” says Navarro. “We just kept going, and before we knew it, we had a body of work. And then a light bulb went off and we realized we had an actual band and were going to make a record.”

In Hulu’s new series about the opioid epidemic, Dopesick, Rosario Dawson and Peter Sarsgaard play crusading federal officials digging through evidence to go after OxyContin manufacturer Purdue Pharma.
But in terms of what attracted the actors to the project, Dawson, Sarsgaard and a number of other stars were driven by personal connections.
Both Dawson and Sarsgaard told The Hollywood Reporter at last week’s premiere that they knew people who had been affected by the opioid epidemic, with John Hoogenakker, who plays Sarsgaard’s character’s fellow assistant U.S. attorney, sharing some broader geographic ties.

Photo: Dave Navarro Hey, I’ve Seen This Guy Before Dave Navarro is widely recognized as a guitarist and for his vocals in many popular alternative rock bands. Some of his most notable work includes the magic he brought to bands such as, ‘Red Hot Chili Peppers’, and ‘Jane’s Addiction’. You may even know him from his judge position in the 2012 Paramount Network (previously called ‘Spike’) reality/competition television show ‘Ink Master’. There is so much more to the artist that not many people know about.

Director Elaine McMillion Sheldon (“Heroin(e)“) and producer Shane Boris (“The Edge of Democracy”), two multi-award winning U.S. filmmakers, are joining forces on hybrid documentary “King Coal,” focused on post-coal Appalachia.
Co-produced by Boris’ outfit Cottage M and Requisite Media, the Tennessee-based company directed by Sheldon, “King Coal” is in an early production stage, scheduled to be completed and delivered by December 2022.
The documentary has been selected to be presented at VdR-Pitching forum, one of the key industry sections at the current Visions du Réel festival edition.
Although its development funding has been grant-driven with partners such as Tribeca, Creative Capital, Sundance, Catapult, Guggenheim Fellowship and West Virginia Humanities Council, the filmmakers continue to apply for grants as well as to speak with potential financing partners to help close its budget and provide strategic and creative support.

Jane’s Addiction perform their classic “Been Caught Stealing” in a new clip from their documentary/concert film, Jane’s Addiction Replay 2020, which is available to stream Thursday, March 25th, on the Coda Collection.
The performance finds the band in fine form as they blaze through the 1990 hit, with Dave Navarro casually tearing through a pitch-perfect solo and Perry Farrell belting the hook, “We walk right through the door/Walk right through the door/Hey, all right! If I get by, it’s mine/Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.

By the time she turned 13, “Punky Brewster” star Soleil Moon Frye had done more to impact pop culture than most Americans will in their lifetime. But once the show was canceled in 1988, things stalled. That’s roughly when Frye started carrying a video camera practically everywhere she went, documenting a one-in-a-million adolescence that was anything but the squeaky-clean, always-sunny sitcom that had made her famous. Nor will it seem very relatable to those who idolized the fellow celebs she called friends, even if you spent the decade with their faces pinned to your walls.
With “Kid 90,” Frye opens “Pandora’s box” — as she calls the archive of video cassettes, diary entries, answering machine messages and so forth that she kept locked away for more than 20 years — bracing herself for what she might find, and how those memories might make her feel. The resulting film, which hits Hulu amid a...

Trent Reznor covered David Bowie’s “Fantastic Voyage” and “Fashion” as part of the “Just for One Day” tribute livestream, which — after a one-day delay due to technical difficulties and Covid-19 restrictions — aired Saturday night, one day after what would have been the late icon’s 74th birthday.
The stripped-down rendition of Lodger’s “Fantastic Voyage” featured the Nine Inch Nails frontman alongside longtime collaborator Atticus Ross and Bowie keyboardist Mike Garson, who also hosted the event. On “Fashion,” the trio were joined by Reznor’s wife and How to...
