MOONSPELL Singer: ‘We All Want Shows To Happen, But We Want To Make Sure That It Happens Safely’
Singer Fernando Ribeiro of Portuguese metallers MOONSPELL has told Consequence Of Sound in a new interview that he is feeling “good” about the prospect of “in person shows” resuming in the not-too-distant future. “Sometimes the discussion is reduced to money,” he said. “Obviously, the music industry and the music business and the way MOONSPELL is involved, you take a bit of everything — the author rights, online shopping, the record sales — but sometimes the big chunk of it comes from playing live shows and selling merchandise. But it’s not only about the money. It’s also about the lifestyle. “I have been touring since 1995,” he continued. “I’m not like this, but I know some people that get really depressed and d...
DAVID LEE ROTH Weighs In On CARDI B’s ‘WAP’ Controversy In Latest Artwork
David Lee Roth has shared a new piece of original artwork which was apparently inspired by the controversy surrounding Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s nationally televised performance of their popular 2020 song “WAP” at this year’s Grammy Awards. Check it out below. “WAP”, whose title itself is an abbreviation for “wet ass pussy,” is a track filled with explicit lyrics referencing female empowerment and sexual pride. During the show, the singers changed many of the original lines in “WAP”, and CBS censored out others, while performing on a stage that featured a pole on a massive high heel, and ending with the two rappers writhing together on a giant bed. For most of the last year, the VAN HALEN singer has been posting paintings ...

Mike Posner Is Climbing Mt. Everest For a Good Cause: ‘I Want My Climb to Be About Others’
“They brought me to tears more than once, but if you push too hard in mountains you die,” he said of the potential pitfalls of ascending the mountain where winds can top 100 m.p.h., and which has become so overcrowded in recent years that even experienced climbers have perished. “One thing I’ve learned is that a lot of life, a lot of beauty, is on the other side of that feeling of anxiety, or fear, or whatever you want to call it,” Posner told CBS This Morning about any trepidation he has about the adventure. The plan is to leave for Kathmandu, Nepal, this week and complete the climb within several months. Posner’s latest single, the bouncy “Momma Always Told Me” featuring Stanaj and Yung Bae, was released earlier this year. His 2010 son...

Boosie Returns To Instagram With A New Page, Calls Mark Zuckerberg A “Racist”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Over the weekend a video of Boosie Badazz slapping fire out of a man’s esophagus made the rounds on social media. While the Louisiana rapper paid the man some good cash for the pimp slap, it was enough to get Badazz’s page suspended for a second. The video shows Boosie kicking it with DaBaby in a convenience store when a homeless man began to slander Boosie calling him a “punk ass” and cutting ass on his profession saying “You can’t rap. How you gonna tell me you’re a god damn rapper?” What followed was a slap that probably caused a richter scale in the South to jump a few points. Needless to say Boosie didn’t take the suspension too well as he’s used social media to cause all kinds of controversies and has kept his name buzzing se...
