Ghost frontman Tobias Forge sings on a new version of the song "Save Us," originally by Germany metal band Accept.

The track is included on the upcoming compilation Teutonic Titans 1976-2026, which collects rerecorded versions of songs from throughout Accept's career featuring guest artists.

According to Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, he met Forge at an Accept show in Stockholm, where Forge told him "Save Us" was his favorite Accept song.

"'Save Us'? I don't even remember that song," Hoffmann says. "Nobody has even mentioned that song! I had to go back and listen to it. After I saw a Ghost show, it all made sense to me. It really fits his style and I could really imagine him doing that song really well. He's right, it's a fun song!"

The new "Save Us" recording also features Korn drummer Ray Luzier and Anthrax bassist Frank Bello.

Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 will be released Sept. 4. It also includes contributions from Judas Priest's Rob Halford, Metallica's Kirk Hammett and Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins.

Weezer has premiered a new song called "C.E.O.," a track off the band's latest color-themed self-titled record, the Gold Album.

"C.E.O." begins with frontman Rivers Cuomo singing, "Cranking out another '90s jam/ Wish I could do something new/ But nobody wants to hear that/ They just want the classics."

The song continues, "You can't blame 'em really/ There's something special about your early s***."

The accompanying "C.E.O." video finds Weezer tasked with recreating their iconic video for "Undone - The Sweater Song" at the behest of executives played by Rob Riggle and Rob Huebel. After the band members realize it isn't working and leave the set, the executives and the director, played by Obsession filmmaker Curry Barker, recruit actors Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, as well as skateboarding icon Tony Hawk, to replace them.

You can watch the "C.E.O" video on YouTube.

The Gold Album, the first full-length Weezer effort in five years, is set to be released Aug. 21. It also includes the previously released songs "Shine Again" and "We Might as Well Be Strangers."

Weezer will launch their upcoming U.S. Gathering tour in September. The bill also includes The Shins and Silversun Pickups.

Do you have the time to listen to Billie Joe Armstrong whine on his own TV channel?

As for what exactly Green Day TV will entail, that remains to be seen. The "American Idiot" outfit teased it in a social media video featuring clips of different movies and TV shows cut together to say, "Welcome to Green Day television."

Perhaps Green Day TV will have to do with the band's upcoming movie, NIMORDS, set to premiere Aug. 14. The film follows a trio of friends, played by Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust, who embark on a road trip under the mistaken belief that they're opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve.

Bono then began reading the lyrics to U2's "Beautiful Day," before his bandmate The Edge joined him in getting the mourners to sing along to part of the song.

Tim Montana has released a new album called Entire State of Tim Montana. As the "Devil You Know" rocker tells ABC Audio, the record's name comes from a quote by longtime friend Charlie Sheen, who thanked "the entire state of Tim Montana" in the acknowledgments of his book.

"It kind of lends itself to the songs, too," Montana says of the title. "There's some really deep personal stuff, there's some fun stuff, there's some cool covers. It was the entire state of me."

Sheen also opens the record with a skit featuring his father, Martin Sheen, and Terminator 2 actor Robert Patrick.

"I just called him and said, 'Hey dude, could you just record on your phone, like, 'Welcome to the entire state of Tim Montana'?" Montana recalls. "And he's like, 'Aw man. ... That's just kinda lame. ... Can I write an actual skit?' And I'm like, 'Sure!'"

Other guests on the record include ZZ Top's Billy F Gibbons, Slash of Guns N' Roses and Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell.

"I can't believe any of this is real," Montana says. "I can't believe I got one of these guys, let alone all of these guys."

You'll also find a cover of the Katy Perry song "Roar."

"When my daughter, who just graduated high school, was probably 10, or maybe she was younger, she loved that song, and so I learned it for her," Montana says. "I worked it up with the band, and we played it live and people loved it live. And I was like, you know what? I'm gonna cover a Katy Perry song. Why not?"

He adds, "I've got two daughters, so I'm like, I'm gonna cover a female pop song for my girls." 

Montana will touring the U.S. alongside Alter Bridge starting in November.

A Diamond album is what Sublime's got.

The "Santeria" outfit's 1996 self-titled album has passed 10 million certified units by the RIAA, officially making it Diamond.

The album Sublime spawned the singles "Santeria," "What I Got," "Wrong Way" and "Doin' Time." It marked the band's final record with frontman Bradley Nowell, who died just months ahead of its release.

While the Sublime offshoot Sublime with Rome would go on to release several albums, the self-titled record remained the final Sublime statement. That is, until the band reformed in 2023 with Bradley Nowell's son, Jakob Nowell, on vocals and guitar.

Sublime will be performing in New York City's Central Park as part of ABC's Good Morning America Summer Concert series on Aug. 14.

President has released a new song called "dark heaven," a track off the mysterious masked artist's upcoming album, Blood of Your Empire.

"'Dark heaven' is a reflection on the contradictions of faith, and how something intended to unite humanity has so often been used to justify division, violence, and power," President says. "It's about the way greed can wear the mask of righteousness. It isn't an attack on belief itself; it's about searching for something real beneath the noise, and asking what remains when certainty begins to crumble."

You can watch the "dark heaven" visualizer, which captures President fans' first reactions upon hearing the song an a private listening event, on YouTube.

Blood of Your Empire, President's full-length debut album, is due out Sept. 4. It also includes the previously released songs "Angel Wings," "DOOM LOOP" and "Mercy."

Tony Iommi was hoping his upcoming solo album, From the Dark, would feature a mini Black Sabbath reunion.

The guitarist tells Rolling Stone that he originally wanted Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler to play on the record.

"I wanted [Butler] to play on this album, but he couldn't do it," Iommi says. "He's doing his own album, I think. Or at the time, something happened there, so he couldn't come to England. I wanted to get it done and finally get it out, really."

Instead, Iommi recruited musician Becky Baldwin to play bass on From the Dark.

"Becky lives in Birmingham, and she's a really good player," Iommi says. "And she's certainly a fan of Geezer, and she plays in Geezer's style. And that's what I wanted. She's really good."

From the Dark does feature a guest spot from Queen's Brian May, who plays the solo on a song called "Death Wake."

"He’s a very, very close friend," Iommi says of May.

From the Dark is due out Oct. 23. Lead single "World Alone" is out now.

As for Sabbath, Iommi and Butler performed alongside fellow original band members Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward for the final time at the 2025 Back to the Beginning concert. Ozzy died just over two weeks later.

Here's the story of a lovely Smashing Pumpkins show, which featured two surprise guests, including a member of The Brady Bunch.

Barry Williams, who played the eldest Brady son Greg Brady in the classic '70s sitcom, joined Billy Corgan and company onstage during their pre-Lollapalooza concert in Chicago on Wednesday. They rocked a rendition of the very Brady classic "It's a Sunshine Day" with Williams on lead vocals.

The collaboration comes after Williams guested on an episode of Corgan's podcast, The Magnificent Others. And that's the way they became the Smashing Bunch-kins.

As for the concert's other guest, that would be former Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, who reunited with the band to play "The Everlasting Gaze," a track off their 2000 album, Machina/The Machines of God.

Auf der Maur played in the Pumpkins from 1999 to 2000 following the departure of original bassist D'arcy Wretzky. She previously reunited with Corgan during his 2025 Machines of God tour.

The Smashing Pumpkins will perform a headlining set at Lollapalooza on Friday night, marking the first time they've played the festival since it moved permanently to the band's hometown of Chicago in 2005. You can watch their performance via the Lollapalooza livestream on Hulu and Disney+.

It took a couple decades, but The Smashing Pumpkins are finally headlining Lollapalooza in their hometown of Chicago.

While the "1979" outfit previously performed at Lolla back in 1994 when it was a touring festival, they have never played it since it permanently moved to Chicago in 2005. Not only that, but the Pumpkins have never performed at the festival's site, Grant Park, either.

"We were banned by the mayor of Chicago at the time, Richie Daley, who basically banned us from playing the park, ever," frontman Billy Corgan tells ABC Audio.

That will finally change when the Pumpkins take the stage at Grant Park during Lolla 2026 as a Friday night headliner.  

"For us, it's very meaningful," Corgan says of the set. "We've had a lot of ups and downs and it's gonna be really a beautiful night in our incredible, crazy, up-and-down history." 

Lollapalooza 2026 takes place Thursday through Sunday. You can watch the Pumpkins' set and many others streaming live via Hulu and Disney+.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu and ABC News.
