Courtney Love says she’s cool with Dave Grohl — but she also has a small bone to pick with the Foo Fighters frontman.

While appearing on an episode of The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan posted Wednesday, the Hole rocker was characteristically blunt when addressing the former Nirvana bandmate of her late husband, Kurt Cobain. “Grohl, come out with it and just say we’re cool,” she said. “Be man enough.”

“Man up, because you’re the uber man that has all the straight males,” she continued to Corgan. “And we’re cool, but you won’t say it, because you’re afraid you’ll lose your audience. You’re afraid it’ll affect your relationship with literal Paul McCartney … Dave, it would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base would stop picking on me.”

Love also called out the drummer for allegedly writing several songs about her. “I couldn’t write a song about Dave Grohl to save my life,” she said. “He’s written, like, four songs about me, and they’re hits. I’m like, ‘Wait what?’”

Billboard has reached out to Grohl’s rep for comment.

Love and Grohl have had their bumps in the road over the years. In 2014, the former criticized the surviving members of Nirvana for joining forces with McCartney for a 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert. They also clashed in court years after Cobain’s death in 1994 over the rights to Nirvana’s catalog.

In 2014, however, the pair hugged onstage at Nirvana’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

George Clinton, Heart, Lucinda Williams and Take 6 have been added to the list of performers for the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum’s 2026 Grammy Hall of Fame Gala taking place May 8. Clinton, Heart and Williams recorded titles that are among the honorees.

They join previously announced performer Norah Jones, who will also be presented with the Ray Charles Architect of Sound Award. Warner Records will also be honored as the Anthony Mason-hosted event, which will take place at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

Fourteen titles spanning nearly a century of recorded music will be honored at the gala, extending as far back as 1926’s “Trouble in Mind” recorded by Bertha “Chippie” Hill to 1998’s Car Wheels on A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams. Among the other three singles and 11 albums being inducted are Pink Moon by Nick Drake, Maggot Brain by Funkadelic, Dreamboat Annie by Heart and All Eyez on Me by 2Pac.

The Recording Academy’s national trustees established the Grammy Hall of Fame to honor recordings released before the Grammy Awards began being handed out in 1959. The honor is now open to any recording that is at least 25 years old. A special member committee selects the recordings to be inducted based on their qualitative or historical significance. Final ratification comes from the Recording Academy’s national board of trustees.

“It’s a privilege to recognize these influential recordings as the 2026 Grammy Hall of Fame inductees,” Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a statement. “Each selection reflects the creativity, craft and cultural impact that recorded music can carry across decades. We’re honored to help preserve these works and celebrate the artists and communities behind them, so their legacies continue to inspire generations to come.”

The show will be produced by former Grammy Awards executive producer Ken Ehrlich, alongside Ron Basile, Chantel Sausedo, Lindsay Saunders Carl, and Lynne Sheridan.

Apple’s AirPods Max headphones made quite the impression when they launched in 2020, instantly attracting fans like Timothee Chalamet, Dua Lipa and JENNIE with the product’s sleek and elevated look, while earning thumbs up from tech journalists for crisp and immersive audio.

Now, Apple is hoping lightning strikes twice with the launch of the AirPods Max 2, the next generation in the venerable tech brand’s over-ear wireless headphones.

Released March 25, the new headphones features the same instantly-recognizable over-ear design as the original AirPods Max, but with improved Active Noise Cancellation technology (ANC), enhanced audio and intelligent features all powered by Apple’s H2 chipset.

The most impressive update is on the noise cancellation prowess of the AirPods Max 2, with Apple reporting that the new headphones “deliver ANC that’s up to 1.5x more effective than the previous generation.” You’ll notice it when you’re on a plane and the whiz and whirl of the airplane engine suddenly fades away; or when crossing an intersection in a bustling city, and the crowd and traffic noise dissipates.

I live on a second-floor unit in an apartment building located on a main road in Los Angeles, and I’ve found the original AirPods Max headphones to be a lifesaver for when I want to put on some tunes to focus on work and not hear the honking and screeching of cars below. The AirPods Max 2 promise an even more immersive experience, by detecting and canceling out background noise before it even hits your ears.

Of course if you still need to pay attention to your environment — I.e. in the office or when walking in traffic — you can set the cups to Transparency Mode, which filters in some natural sounds, so you’re not completely unaware or zoned out to what (or who) is around you. Voice Isolation technology automatically moves your voice to the forefront during calls, while blocking out ambient noise. And if you’re listening to a playlist or podcast, Apple’s Adaptive Audio feature automatically adjusts the noise cancellation levels depending on how noisy your environment is, so there’s always a balance of music with organic outside sounds.

A new feature we like is “Conversation Awareness,” which automatically lowers the volume of what’s playing in your ears, to make it easier to hear and talk to those around you.

Music-wise, the AirPods Max 2 continue to support Spatial Audio, for a more natural-sounding listening experience, and lossless audio, which lets you stream the highest-quality tracks. Apple says a new high dynamic range amplifier offers “even cleaner audio,” and you can also personalize your headphones to suit your ear shape and the way your head moves, so that music is always directed at you, rather than say, floating off somewhere in the distance.

One other new feature we like: Live Translation, which does exactly as the name suggests, by letting you read or listen to an English-language translation of a conversation when you are talking to someone who’s using another language. The same feature is available in Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 model, which I tested last fall, and while it took me a bit of time to set up Live Translation (mostly making sure my phone was updated), once I got it to work, it was pretty intuitive.

The AirPods Max 2 retain the same premium look and feel as its predecessor, with the flexible mesh headband for breathability and cushy, pillow-like earpads for comfort (Apple has also upped their sustainability efforts by using 100% recycled polyester in the ear cushion). What I liked: you won’t sweat through these headphones, even when wearing for long periods of time. And as someone who wears glasses, I found that the headband wasn’t squeezing my temples in at all. The exterior has the clean and minimalist look I love, and Apple has these headphones available in five colors online, including the orange colorway that was so popular with users of the iPhone 17.

The AirPods Max 2 wireless headphones are available to purchase online now with a suggested retail price of $549. In my opinion, Apple’s got another winner on its hands, with the AirPods Max 2 offering that perfect balance of audio and aesthetics, to deliver another pair of headphones that will be topping everybody’s must-have list this year.

La historia del rock está atravesada por excesos, caos y figuras que llevaron el género más allá de lo que en épocas anteriores se creía posible. Sin lugar a dudas, dos de esas figuras fueron Iggy Pop y David Bowie, quienes mantuvieron una relación que se convirtió en una de las asociaciones más intensas y […]
