On Thursday, you'll hear from one of the four men who made "The Black Album." He was there for all 301 gigs... first one in the building, last one out. His thunderous bass tone rattled speakers for millions of fans around the globe, and he's the man behind the hypnotic intro to "My Friend of Misery." That's right. Jason Newsted is checking in with #MaximumMetallica# as the Hero of the Day. You won't want to miss it. Tune in Thursday, August 13 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT and 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT on @SIRIUSXM Channel 42. Listen on demand in the SXM app after it airs.

In the summer of 1992, @gunsnroses and Metallica shared a stadium bill for what is widely remembered as an orderly, incident-free tour where absolutely nothing went wrong whatsoever.

Catch it on Wednesday, August 12 at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT and 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT on @SIRIUSXM Channel 42. Listen on demand in the SXM app after it airs.

Muse are back in full Muse mode on "Hexagons," the latest preview of their upcoming album The WOW! Signal. Built around sprawling arpeggios, cosmic dread, and Matthew Bellamy belting about "the sixth dimension," the track feels like another grandiose return to the band's Black Holes and Revelations sweet spot.

🫣 Meet the world's only emo caterpillars — the larvae of the African emperor moth With their massive black spikes and striking red-and-black coloring, these caterpillars look like something straight out of a heavy metal album cover. But despite their intimidating appearance, they're completely harmless. They are the larvae of the African emperor moth (Bunaea alcinoe), one of the most unusual silk moth species on the planet.
