• Jimmy Fallon and The Roots Join U2 On Stage at MSG [WATCH]

    Madison Square Garden is hosting U2's latest string of residency shows in New York and to make each night unique from its preceding gig, the group brought out special guests Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on their third night of eight--all under the watchful eye of some high profile celebrities.

  • Kurt Cobain, The Beatles and Michael Jackson: Bad Musician Statues

    A humorous petition has suggested that Outkast's Andre 3000 and Big Boi be carved into Georgia's historic Stone Mountain, a monument near Atlanta that's drawn controversy for its homage to the Confederacy in the form of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson in Mt. Rushmore-style. Our official stance at Music Times is that the ATLiens riding in a Cadillac on the side of the mountain wouldn't hurt. And, even if it does border on the absurd, it wouldn't be the worst statue of a musician to be erected. Alas, The Beatles, Kurt Cobain and Michael Jackson (especially Michael Jackson) have been subjected to attempted memorials that fall way short of tastefulness.

  • Paul McCartney Remembers Charleston Shooting Victims

    During Delaware's Firefly Festival on Friday night, Run the Jewels and Paul McCartney were among the array of artists who paid tribute to the Charleston, South Carolina Emanuel AME church shooting victims. Other artists focused more on political statements on stage and in Tweets.

  • Foo Fighters Front Man Dave Grohl Pens Open Letter on Broken Leg, Five Canceled Shows

    After taking a nasty tumble off stage in Gothenburg, Sweden, Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl suffered a broken leg, yet decided to carry out the show through his damages. Four days after the fall, Grohl has penned an open letter describing the extent of his injuries and to his dismay, the cancellation of five European shows-doctors order.

  • The Rolling Stones and University Songs: Will Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh and NC State Get Tributes?

    The Rolling Stones made every Ohio State Buckeye fan go nuts (pun intended) when the band performed "Hang On Sloopy" at Ohio Stadium in Columbus last night. The band, probably the biggest touring act in the world aside from Paul McCartney, has a host of huge venues hosting it throughout the "Zip Codes" tour. Several of these, like Ohio Stadium, also play host to NCAA football programs throughout the year, so Music Times decided to check out what the official songs of those programs are, just in case the Stones might think about busting them out during forthcoming live performances.

  • Paul McCartney Was Almost on 'Friends' as Ross' Father-In-Law

    Paul McCartney already has a pretty long resume, from his work with The Beatles to Wings to spending "FourFiveSeconds" with Kanye West and Rihanna. But, Sir Paul almost had another talent to add to his ever-growing list: one of the Friends. In a new interview, the casting director Leslie Litt revealed she wanted the legendary singer to play the father of Ross' ill-fated wife Emily Watham.

  • 5 Unreleased Lady Gaga Collabs: Paul McCartney, Cher and Azealia Banks(?)

    Fans of both Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar got at least a partial treat yesterday when the previously unreleased track "Partynauseous" leaked online. It might seem odd that a collaboration between one of the biggest pop stars in the world, plus one of the most in-demand rappers in the game, didn't make it onto an album...but you might be surprised how many Gaga collaborations have yet to see the light of day (or have only done so in an unofficial context). We're not talking about the pre-Fame Gaga guest spots, such as her appearance with New Kids on The Block...we're talking about music that's yet to drop, including possible collaborations with stars such as Paul McCartney and Cher.

  • Paul McCartney Teams With Lady Gaga For 'High In The Clouds' Animated Film Soundtrack

    After collaborating with the likes of Kanye West and Rihanna, Paul McCartney is continuing to work with a younger generation of influential artists. This time around he's teamed up with Lady Gaga and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready for the soundtrack to a new animated feature he's producing titled High in the Clouds. The film is based off the children's book McCartney co-authored in 2005, and Macca will also voice one of the film's characters, Deadline reports.

  • Jonas Akerlund to Direct Black Metal Biopic 'Lords of Chaos'

    Lords of Chaos, a book based on the Norwegian black metal scene of the early '90s—perhaps the most notorious genre in music history—will be getting a film adaptation from Jonas Akerlund, best known for having done music videos for Madonna, Lady Gaga and Paul McCartney among others. Rory Culkin has been tapped to star.
