Rik Emmett of Triumph had the understatement of the night: "Good things come to those who wait." Those seven words could be our whole review when it comes to what Detroit music fans witnessed for nearly two hours on Saturday evening (May 30) at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill, in the neighboring area suburb of Sterling Heights. The ongoing Triumph reunion tour is also their first major road work in decades.

In January 1978, Van Halen released their debut single, a cover of the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me.” The tune became a radio hit and helped launch Van Halen's career – but what did the Kinks think of it? Van Halen’s interpretation of the tune deviated notably from the original, giving the classic track some hair metal flare. Among the biggest differences, Eddie Van Halen’s monstrous guitar riffage, which propelled the high-octane cover.

Music in the '80s is typically associated with the computerized, neon-tinged sounds of MTV, but there was much more to this wildly varied decade. Its earliest years were dominated by the last vestiges of post-punk, long before music videos were a thing. Classic rock acts with roots all the way back to the '60s acts were still topping the charts, including the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd.

The Detroit Tigers are gearing up for another exciting season, and many fans are wondering how they can keep up with their favorite team. The Detroit Tigers have a new radio home in Lapeer, as well.

Art Garfunkel made a surprise appearance on the Madison Square Garden stage Friday night, joining Charlie Puth for a performance of "The Boxer." "He learned how to make his records from me and Paul [Simon]," Garfunkel said that evening (via Billboard). "You're my student." And Puth heartily agreed: "I am your student. I'm not just saying that because all these wonderful people are here. The reason that I'm here right now is because of the music you've written with Paul.

Hearing that Prince had died was an unbelievable thing to process when it happened in April of 2016. The Minneapolis-bred musical legend passed away at his Paisley Park home outside of the city in the neighboring suburb of Chanhassen. It was later revealed to be an accidental overdose on fentanyl, a shocking thing to hear on a number of levels, particularly because of his longtime anti-drug stance.

Peter Gabriel has shared another new song from his o\i album, this one called "A Hard Lesson." According to Gabriel, the song is the oldest of the entire project having been started back "in the late 80s or early 90s" when he was visiting Senegal, West Africa. "I was falling in love with the music I heard there," he said in a statement to his email subscribers. "I loved the tension created by the use of polyrhythms, particularly the threes and fours, so that was the start of this song.

Toto guitarist Steve Lukather has offered some clarity on his in-progress recording project with Alex Van Halen, confirming that it will feature substantial archival work from Eddie Van Halen — and none of his own playing. "I'm telling you, this is not throwaway shit," Lukather told Guitar Player of the recordings left by the late Van Halen guitarist, who died in 2020 at age 65.

Michigan roads are so bad at this point, I’m pretty sure most of us would support paving them with almost anything. Ann Arbor is testing a new type of asphalt made with recycled tires, and honestly, if it means smoother roads and fewer potholes, I’m down. The city is repaving a couple of streets using rubberized asphalt, which mixes shredded scrap tires into the pavement. Officials say it could make roads quieter, safer in wet weather, and longer lasting than regular asphalt.

Rock and roll was supposed to be a young person's game. But try telling that to these 20 famous musicians, who performed on some of the most popular tours of 1986 - and are still around 40 years later to offer their fans more great live concerts. Judas Priest On May 2, 1986 Judas Priest launched the Fuel for Life tour, supporting their futuristic (and somewhat controversial) synth-boosted new album Turbo.
