launched its weekend rock entertainment in mid-July with an upgraded sound system. The 18+ venue has a capacity of 150-200 (depending on the layout), with areas designed for both seating and standing. “It’s good to see the Tuscany stepping up to give live music a proper venue in Sin City,” noted Taylor T Carlson in his ZRockR review (8/15/2025) of the Saints of Las Vegas show.

A full-service bar is available with well drinks priced at $10-12 and beers between $5-7. Self-parking and valet parking at the Tuscany are always complimentary.

Mitch Schneider Looks Back at Former Client Tom Waits

Tom Waits’ terrific fifth album ‘Foreign Affairs’ was released on this day (September 13) in 1977. I reviewed it for the monthly Crawdaddy (it was one of the many plum assignments that editor Jon Pareles gave me).

Back then, I was 21 and living at my folks’ house in the Bronx. I would lock myself up in their basement (when I wasn’t going to shows) and listen to test pressings of albums that were assigned to me to review.

It was always a nerve-racking experience to review albums because you hoped and prayed you would  “get it right“ and do a great album justice. There was of course no Internet back then so you couldn’t read, and perhaps be influenced by, what other writers may have been saying about a particular album ahead of its release. You were pretty much on your own when it came to forming an opinion.

Years later, in 1999 at MSO PR, I handled the PR, along with my friend and former associate Tresa Redburn, for Waits’ deeply moving “Mule Variations” album. That was a fantastic full circle moment for me.

It’s been almost a year since 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking Finnish rock outfit THE RASMUS (@therasmusofficial) released the first single (“Rest In Pieces” on October 24, 2024) from their highly anticipated 11th studio album, WEIRDO, which finally arrives today (September 12) via Better Noise Music (their first for the label) and Playground Music. The album, as well as limited-edition merchandise bundles, are available now HERE.

Known for their musically dark atmospheres, the band subversively merges catchy modern pop stylings with stadium-sized guitar crunch throughout the songs on WEIRDO.

“I find it comforting that our 11th album, WEIRDO, has pretty much the same message as on our first album released in 1996,” explains frontman Lauri Ylönen. “It is to defend and praise the ones who are different from the masses and proudly being themselves as they are. It has been our philosophy from the very beginning.”

Ylönen further explains the power behind being a “weirdo.” “In this society I’ve always felt that I’ve had to prove myself for being the way I am or doing the things I do. I’ve always felt like an outsider not fitting the norm. I’ve been called a weirdo, misfit and a freak. That used to make me angry—but not anymore. It’s become my source of strength and confidence. I’ve realized the power of it. All the people I find exciting and inspiring are somehow strange. We, the Weirdos, unite and feed off people’s judging attitudes. The fact is they’re just afraid of us. Afraid of our capability to create new and change the future. Are you a Weirdo? Join us…”

To celebrate today’s album release, THE RASMUS is excited to share the title track with their legions of fans, especially since they teamed up with The Funeral Portrait singer Lee Jennings for song and accompanying video which can be seen now on the band’s official YouTube page HERE.

“‘Weirdo’ was the first song we wrote and it shaped the concept for the entire album,” says Ylönen. “It celebrates being different and individual. Since the first song I ever wrote in 1994 called ‘Myself,’ I’ve felt like an outcast and someone who doesn’t quite fit in.”

“Being a part of ‘Weirdo’ with The Rasmus has been incredible,” continues The Funeral Portrait singer Lee Jennings. “It’s an anthem for the outcasts, and I’m beyond proud of how it turned out. Working with such an iconic band has been awesome, and now we’re hitting the road together across Europe. Get ready! The Funeral Portrait and The Rasmus are coming to represent all of the Weirdos across Europe this November.”

The “‘Weirdo” single release is the follow up to “Love Is A Bitch” (released July 11 and described by lead singer Lauri Ylönen as a “wildcard” track for the band), which can be streamed and downloaded HERE, while the video can be seen on the band’s official YouTube page HERE (which has over 100k views).

The fourth single,Break These Chains,” was released May 16 along with the “Break These Chains” video, which has since garnered over 812k views, while Creatures of Chaosarrived March 28, with the video racking up over 875k views. The album’s first single, Rest In Pieces,” was rolled out on October 25, 2024, paired with a lyric video which now has amassed over 668k views.

Most of the songs on WEIRDO were written by Lauri Ylönen, Desmond Child (who contributed to the band’s BLACK ROSES and RISE albums and has worked with Bon Jovi, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, among countless others) and Marti Fredriksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Veil Brides) in Folegandros, Greece. That’s where Lauri and Desmond met up to work on material that Lauri brought. THE RASMUS then did full band demos of all the tracks in Finland in July 2023, with production led by Frederiksen and Child.

Later, they finalized the songs and recorded the album with the whole band in Marti Fredriksen‘s Sienna Studios in Nashville. Some of the tracks were mixed by Fredriksen in Nashville, assisted by Evan Fredriksen, while other mixes were done by Chris Baseford (Nickelback, Shinedown, Daughtry) in Vancouver, Canada and by Claudius Mittendorfer (Panic! At The Disco, We Are Scientists) in London, and Joseph McQueen (Bad Wolves, As I Lay Dying, From Ashes To New) in Los Angeles. Additional production by McQueen injects a fresh intensity into tracks like “Creatures of Chaos” and “Break These Chains,” while Ylönen himself takes the helm on “Rest in Pieces” alongside Alex Mattson.

Last month (on July 19), The Rasmus played a charity concert in Ukraine on as the headliner of the Atlas Festival, as the only foreign artist at the event. Over 110,000 people were in attendance, and there was a comprehensive security system and evacuation plan for the audience and performers in just a few minutes if it was necessary. Thankfully the festival went off without any issues and they were able to raise over $2.5 million Ukraine’s air defenses. Last year, the festival raised over two million euros. The artists can choose to direct their charitable funds to any Ukraine-related cause, such as supporting children’s hospitals, purchasing ambulances, or helping combat medical personnel.

“Going back to Ukraine really hit us hard. The people there are just incredible,” says Lauri Ylönen. “Their strength, their spirit, the way they come together…it’s powerful to see and even more powerful to feel. We also got to catch up with Kalush Orchestra, which was great! Playing ‘In The Shadows of Ukraine’ with all those people in front of us—that’s the kind of thing you never forget.”

THE RASMUS will bring their unforgettable stage show to audiences worldwide in 2025 on the “Weirdo Tour,” shows for 2026 are starting to be confirmed. They recently concluded a month-long U.S. trek with The Funeral Portrait and their own North American headlining tour. Tickets are on sale now for its European leg (9/12 – 12/6), while tickets for their 2026 shows will go on-sale July 17; see the full dates listed below.

Melodicmag.com described a recent tour stop in Boston as having, “…a special energy throughout the night, as the band mentioned many times how happy and fortunate they felt to finally be playing in Boston…It is safe to say The Rasmus gifted their loyal fans with a jam-packed show that is sure to be unforgettable.”

With their new album WEIRDO, THE RASMUS once again proves why they remain a force to be reckoned with in the rock world. In their native Finland, where they are the reigning #1 rock band, THE RASMUS stands at #1 on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram and Deezer as far as followers, views, likes and streams. It is often said that the best bands are the ones which keep surprising you time and time again, in the most thrilling of ways. This is something that the 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified band have been doing since their major label debut and a creative responsibility they take great pride in. If you’ve listened to any of their albums, you’ll be able to hear a kaleidoscopic collage of heavy guitars against futuristic electronics, as well as pop hooks that can find their way into the heart of any kind of music fan. As a direct result, they’ve become one of Finland’s greatest musical exports, selling millions of records worldwide and winning award after award.

JEFF LARSON & GERRY BECKLEY (America) To Release Album ‘Jeff Larson With Gerry Beckley’ Oct. 24 on Melody Place; First Single “C’mon Home” Out Today

DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK, SRO PR

JEFF LARSON AND GERRY BECKLEY
JOIN FORCES FOR THE ALBUM
‘JEFF LARSON WITH GERRY BECKLEY’
OUT OCTOBER 24 ON MELODY PLACE

THE ALBUM’S FIRST SINGLE “C’MON HOME”
ARRIVES TODAY, SEPTEMBER 12
LISTEN TO “C’MON HOME” HERE

Singer, songwriter, and mainstay of the Bay Area music scene Jeff Larson and longtime collaborator Gerry Beckley—known mostly as half of the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum-selling rock group America with co-founder Dewey Bunnell—have joined forces to create the album JEFF LARSON WITH GERRY BECKLEY. Due October 24 on the Nashville-based Melody Place label, it’s a fresh modern-sounding recording with roots in the golden California sound and highlighted by two voices which often soar in tight harmony.

This is especially illustrated by release of the first single “C’mon Home,” out today (September 12) and coinciding with Beckley’s birthday. The Beckley-Larson composition possesses distinctive twin lead vocals, glistening harmonies, ringing guitars, and lyrics that movingly offer a guiding hand to someone who’s lost their way: “Where you gonna run to now boy/When you’re all alone?/Riding like a lonesome cowboy/You were born to roam/…Why don’t you come on home.” Listen to the song HERE and pre-order/pre-save it HERE.

“‘C’mon Home’ was the last song to be added to this project,” says Larson.  “I think we knew we had a strong set of songs but maybe lacked one more to fill it out.  Gerry sent me a track he was working on that I could tell already had a vibe and a hook with the slide part he did.  He had the initial verse lines and chorus idea, so he asked if I would fill the lyric in and sing it.  To me this is classic Gerry Beckley production with hooks all over.  It seems to have almost written and sung itself.”

Beckley says that “after retiring from my life of touring a couple years ago, I discovered that my love for writing and recording has not abated. If anything, this extra daylight in my schedule has allowed me to focus even more on this part of my creativity.   This latest collaboration with Jeff I think stands as a great example. We have been writing and recording together for years now and I feel this is some of our best work ever.”

The eleven compositions on JEFF LARSON WITH GERRY BECKLEY extend the longtime collaboration that began in 1998 when Larson recorded a song by America co-founder Beckley. Not long after, Gerry returned the favor and sang on one of Jeff’s songs. A friendship was born. 2008 saw the release of Heart of the Valley. Inspired by 1970’s Nilsson Sings Newman, on which Harry Nilsson paid tribute to his contemporary Randy Newman with Randy on piano, Heart of the Valley found Larson movingly interpreting the Beckley songbook with Gerry contributing voice and accompaniment. The gorgeously atmospheric title song of Heart of the Valley might have referred to the California freeway known as the 405 (which indeed runs through the heart of the San Fernando Valley) but its appeal and universality extended far beyond the Golden State.

JEFF LARSON WITH GERRY BECKLEY continues their collective story in song. Produced and engineered by Beckley and Larson, it’s a melodic and eclectic set of songs by two friends, singers, and songwriters. Their vocal blend is a sweet and near-familial one as the singer-songwriters reflect on love, loss, and connection–and the poignant connection they’ve made here is one that’s both deeply rooted and vividly in flight. For these two artists, the song’s the thing.

“This project started by going through some of the songs Gerry and I had tracked between 2024-2025,” offers Larson.  We have been writing and recording at a steady pace since 2020–on average a song a week.  Over time, some songs had their own personality where they didn’t fit either of our solo endeavors.  These were also the songs that were more 50/50 collaborations.  I was me simply gathering a playlist of those songs, along with a handful of others that fit the idea of a more collaborative project.  I sent the playlist to Gerry, and he came back immediately with, “There’s an album here.’”

From the opening strains of “Baby Goodbye,” Jeff Larson with Gerry Beckley proves transporting. The song’s farewell may be an emphatic one, but the importance of connection, and lightening one’s load, courses through the album. “One Last Time” conjures the image of standing on a precipice in life, while the pulsating “Looking at the Rain” poses the question, “Where do we go from here?” The lyric “only love survives” might offer a hint as to the answer. The ravishing “Sleight of Hand” finds its narrator at the crossroads, for sure, but with an undercurrent of hope.

If “Sleight of Hand” lopes at a wistful gait recalling Burt Bacharach’s best, the ruminative “Oh Diane”–a Beckley solo tune–basks in a beautiful melancholy redolent of both Bacharach and one of Beckley’s musical heroes and close friends, Brian Wilson. (It’s no surprise that Bacharach and Wilson were mutual admirers and onetime collaborators.) “C’mon Home” glides along on a California breeze with a tinge of “Sister Golden Hair” as Beckley’s still-reassuring slide guitar lines provide cool comfort.

At a time when joy is in short supply, Jeff Larson with Gerry Beckley offers it in abundance, as on the Larson original “Oh Wow!” Lyrically inspired by the innocence and wonder of a child, it doubles as an expression of the sheer adrenaline rush of love in full bloom. A loose, NRBQ-flavored rock-and-roll vibe infuses the track. An unexpected cover of David “Shel” Shapiro, Mogol, and Michael Julien’s “Live for Today” underscores the timelessness and relevance of a great song. “Live for Today” was first recorded in Italian in 1966 by British singer-guitarist Shapiro’s expatriate band, The Rokes, and popularized in the U.S. the next year by L.A.’s Grass Roots. It found particular resonance with young American soldiers fighting overseas in the Vietnam War who identified with its sentiments to “take the most from living, have pleasure while we can.” As reimagined by Larson and Beckley, the urgent admonition to “Live for Today” could have been written yesterday.

Gerry Beckley knows the life of a touring musician well. In 2024, he stepped away from the road after over 50 years on stages around the world with America. The jagged rhythms of “Waiting Game (Jet-Lagged Zombie)” complement its evocative and memorable imagery. “Again” is an arresting and introspective portrait of a traveling man: “It takes a sky to wonder why/If not now, then when?” The album culminates with the Beckley-penned “Amnesia.” With mournful piano and stately strings, it’s raw and devastating (“Why is it that all of the things we recall are the ones we truly regret?”) yet filled with hard-won wisdom and, above all, humanity. With an emphasis on matters of the heart, JEFF LARSON WITH GERRY BECKLEY revisits the era in which songcraft was paramount.

Here’s the track listing of JEFF LARSON WITH GERRY BECKLEY:

1. Baby Goodbye (Gerry Beckley, Jeff Larson)
2. One Last Time (Gerry Beckley, Jeff Larson)
3. Looking at the Rain (Gerry Beckley, Jeff Larson)

“Working with our American brothers in NOTHING MORE on our new single ‘Crossing The Rubicon’ has been an absolute pleasure,” says frontman Joakim Brodén. “When we shared the song with the guys, they really liked it and were genuinely excited about a collaboration, which got us really pumped. There’s something powerful about bringing two worlds together in music.”

“I’m really glad we got the chance to team up with our new labelmates NOTHING MORE for this one,” continues bassist Pär Sundström. “Collaborating with them added a cool touch. This one’s a special treat for both their fans and ours!”

NOTHING MORE frontman Jonny Hawkins says, “This song awakens that old, war spirit in me and makes me want to ride a horse straight into the gates of hell. I’m proud to be a part of it with such an incredible band like Sabaton.”

“We are very honored and excited to release this collaboration with our newfound Swedish labelmates Sabaton,” adds NOTHING MORE guitarist Mark Vollelunga. “It was fun to do something a little different than we were used to, and we’re stoked they wanted us to put our special NOTHING MORE sauce on their Scandinavian Metal.”

Throughout the aptly titled LEGENDS, SABATONJoakim Brodén (vocals), Pär Sundström (bass), Chris Rörland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes Van Dahl (drums)—delve into some of history’s greatest and most loved characters such as Jeanne D’arc (also known as Joan of Arc), Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, and the legendary swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi. 

For “Crossing The Rubicon,” their focus is on Julius Caesar, who rose to prominence in the Roman Republic as consul. He enacted reforms to reduce corruption and ease taxation while leading his legions to victories in Gaul, defeating tribes like the Arverni, Helvetii and Belgae, and expanding Roman territory to the Rhine and Danube rivers. As his influence grew, political rivals became increasingly hostile. In response, he famously crossed the Rubicon, igniting a civil war. After defeating his enemies in Italy, Greece, and Egypt, he returned to Rome with dictatorial powers, implementing the Julian calendar and modernizing public works. However, on the Ides of March in 44 B.C., he was assassinated by Senate conspirators, ending his rule but leaving a significant legacy as a master strategist and ambitious leader who reshaped Rome’s future.

“Everyone knows the phrase ‘Veni, vidi, vici,’” says bassist Pär Sundström. “It’s iconic, just like Caesar himself. He was a force of nature who reshaped an entire empire. And his story…well it’s pure Sabaton material. When we did some internal trials of the new songs and got our closest friends and colleagues to listen to it, we quickly noticed that this was one of the—if not the—top tracks from our new album. Let’s see if the fans agree.”

Julius Caesar is an incredibly intriguing figure,” continues singer Joakim Brodén, “and let’s be real, he’s known all around the world for a reason! His story is legendary. He was a brilliant general, a bold leader, and a trailblazer of ancient history. His story has war, ambition, betrayal…everything that fits right into the world of Sabaton. He didn’t just fight battles; he changed the course of history. That mix of strategy, drama, and raw power made him a go-to choice for LEGENDS.”

LEGENDS will be available across various physical formats and retailer exclusives including CD, 2 CD digibook, 2 CD earbook (both including the exclusive Storyteller Edition), 11 unique vinyl editions (including a special vinyl color and exclusive artwork each), additional exclusive vinyl colors, and a limited box set (including another exclusive vinyl color, the 2 CD earbook, and a colored cassette as an exclusive format).  Pre-orders are available HERE.

Among 11 unique vinyl editions, each one portraying one legendary figure, LEGENDS will be available as the “Julius Caesar Edition.”

LEGENDS is a rock odyssey that transcends time and borders, with melodic guitar riffs, goosebump-inducing choirs, and epic choruses. It marks a bold evolution in storytelling, plunging headfirst into the heart of history’s most formidable and enigmatic figures. These are not just rock songs, they are battle hymns carved from the blood and legacy of warriors, kings, strategists, and revolutionaries.

It marks the very first time that every band member has come together to contribute to the songwriting process. This is SABATON as you’ve never heard them before—relentless and unbound. LEGENDS is a global journey through the annals of warfare, leadership and unbreakable will.

SABATON have always had a signature focus on writing songs about historical battles, wars, and acts of heroism that have solidified their impact with their loyal and longtime fans. They’ve collaborated closely with its network of specialists, developed over the years since the launch of the Sabaton History Channel on YouTube, to make sure this new album is once again as close to reality as possible.

They continue to work with graphic artist Peter Sallai to create the striking album artwork, and producer Jonas Kjellgren is once again behind the boards from his Swedish Black Lounge Studios to create the classic SABATON sound the band is now known for.

Four songs have already been released from LEGENDS: “The Duelist” and “Lightning at the Gates” (July 25), “Hordes of Khan” (June 6) and “Templars” (April 25):

  • The Duelist”: Listen HERE and watch the lyric video HERE. The track has been streamed over three million times, and the video has been viewed over one million times.
  • Lightning at the Gates”: Listen HERE and watch the lyric video HERE. The track has been streamed over 2.6 million times, and the video has been viewed over one million times.

  • Templars”: Listen HERE and watch the video HERE. The track has been streamed over 19.1 million times, while the official video and lyric video have been viewed more than 5.7 million times.

In the more than two decades since the band’s launch, SABATON has headlined major festivals, sold-out arena concerts worldwide, and gained a legion of loyal fans by carving out a reputation for being one of the hardest working bands in the business. Since their 2005 debut album, they’ve earned Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum certifications in territories around the world with their 10 studio albums. Eight of their albums scored Top 10 international chart status, and six claimed the Top 5. SABATON has earned eight Metal Hammer/Golden Gods Awards nominations, taking home the award for “Breakthrough Artist” in 2011 and “Best Live Band” in three different years, and a Grammis nomination (Swedish equivalent to the U.S. Grammy Award) as Best Heavy Metal band. They’ve accumulated more than three billion streams across all streaming platforms and two billion views on YouTube.

The leading line-up of special guests has been announced for “A 60th Anniversary Doors Celebration” at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 30. Joining Robby Krieger, legendary guitarist of The Doors, for an unforgettable night of Doors’ hits will be Greg Gonzalez (Cigarettes After Sex), Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Fantastic Negrito, Chris Goss (Masters Of Reality), Kevin Martin (Candlebox), John Doe (X), Deryck Whibley (Sum 41), Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots) Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge), Steven Adler (Guns N’ Roses), Adam Kury (Candlebox), and Orianthi. Additional guests will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets are on sale HERE.

This one-night-only celebration will honor 60 years of the groundbreaking Los Angeles band, with a special homage to their 1970 release, MORRISON HOTEL—which features the classics “Roadhouse Blues,” Waiting For The Sun,” “The Spy” and “Peace Frog”—along with other Doors’ classics, some of which were never played live by The Doors. The show will kick off with a performance from Tripform featuring Pablo Manzarek (son of original Doors member, the late Ray Manzarek) before Krieger, his sensational band (featuring Ed Roth, Dan Rothchild, Ty Dennis and Waylon Krieger), and the guest performers take the stage. The Greek Theater show will cap off The Doors’ 60th Anniversary celebration which Krieger kickstarted earlier this year by performing five sold-out shows at the Whisky A Go Go, the legendary venue where it truly started for The Doors.

“Sixty years or so ago when The Doors were happening, I had no idea that in the next century, we would still be talking about and playing The Doors records, Krieger says. “I feel so blessed that just about every day someone stops me and recognizes me and wants to talk about The Doors and to thank me for making the music that they love still today. The people that recognize me seem to be getting nicer all the time…I like to say that it’s a good problem to have.”

Stream the Album HERE | Buy CD / Vinyl HERE

[Las Vegas, NV – SEPTEMBER 5, 2025] – Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (@5fdp) are marking their 20th anniversary with the release of two definitive greatest hits collections: Best Of – Volume 1 (available now) and, announced today, Best Of – Volume 2 (forthcoming October 24, 2025). Pre-save and pre-order Volume 2 HERE. Both collections feature newly re-recorded versions of the band’s biggest anthems, created in response to their former label’s sale of the original song masters – made without the band’s knowledge or the opportunity to reclaim their legacy.

Turning that setback into something powerful and positive, the band chose not to simply remix or remaster but to fully re-record fan favorites across two volumes of greatest hits – both as a tribute to the songs and to the fans who’ve stood with the band over the last two decades.

While respecting and honoring the original recordings and those who helped shape them, the band is excited to revisit and bring renewed intensity to tracks like “Sham Pain,” “Blue On Black,” “Trouble,” and “Burn MF.” Together, the two Best Of collections celebrate the band’s respect for the past while reintroducing the music for a new era. See the full album track list for Best Of – Volume 2 below.

Leading the charge as the first single from Best Of – Volume 2 is the 2025 version of “The End” featuring BABYMETAL. Vocalist SU-METAL reflects: “We were invited to take part in a 20th-anniversary collaboration project featuring guest artists on past songs. Five Finger Death Punch and BABYMETAL had performed at the same festival overseas back in 2015, so I was really happy thinking they might have remembered me from then. I sang Japanese lyrics inspired by and based on the original lyrics of “The End,” and spent a lot of time experimenting to figure out what kind of voice would best suit such a deep, cool track. My favorite part of the song is the flow from the section starting with “Negai o kakete” right after the chorus into the break — I loved how my voice gradually got covered and engulfed by Ivan’s growl, which gave me chills. I hope listeners will enjoy that moment as well.”

With over 13 billion streams, countless #1 hits, and multiple gold and platinum certifications, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH remain one of the most dominant rock acts of the 21st century. Their 20th anniversary continues with Best Of – Volume 2, out October 24 via Better Noise Music, featuring 16 re-recorded classics plus three never-before-heard live versions of “Wash It All Away,” “Wrong Side Of Heaven,” and “Jekyll And Hyde.”

Best Of – Volume 2 is being released worldwide in multiple formats, including standard CD and vinyl, a limited edition CD exclusive to Walmart, multiple collectible vinyl editions available at Best Buy, Walmart, the Five Finger Death Punch webstore, indie retail, and a Revolver Magazine exclusive.

Pre-save the album HERE. All CD and vinyl editions are available HERE.
