GEOFF TATE Claims QUEENSRŸCHE’s ‘Dedicated To Chaos’ Was Very Collaborative Effort; His Former Bandmates Disagree
In a new interview with Tom Leu of the “Sound Matters” show, former QUEENSRŸCHE frontman Geoff Tate was asked which album from his career he thinks is the best representation of who he is as a singer, songwriter and an overall artist. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Wow, that’s a tough one. I’m really, really partial to the last album that QUEENSRŸCHE did together with me [2011’s ‘Dedicated To Chaos’]. That album had something incredibly special about it. It was an album that everybody in the band contributed so much to, and we were really in a high-level writing mode at the time. And I love the way the album sounds. I think Kelly Gray did an amazing job on the production on that record. And I think it’s a well-round...
You Can Now Buy CHILDREN OF BODOM Socks
For the first time ever, Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM are selling an official range of branded socks. The socks offer slight compression paired with CHILDREN OF BODOM‘s original album graphics. A short video of CHILDREN OF BODOM drummer Jaska Raatikainen “testing” the band’s new socks can be seen below. Former CHILDREN OF BODOM frontman Alexi Laiho passed away on December 29, 2020 in his home in Helsinki, Finland. The 41-year-old had reportedly suffered from long-term health issues leading up to his death. Alexi and Jaska founded CHILDREN OF BODOM in 1993, and the band was one of the most internationally acclaimed metal acts in Finland up until their very last farewell concert in December of 2019. Last year, Alexi put together BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT, which reco...
FOREIGNER/Ex-DOKKEN Bassist JEFF PILSON Is Writing A Yoga Book
In a new interview with Kylie Olsson‘s YouTube show “Life In Six Strings”, former DOKKEN and current FOREIGNER bassist Jeff Pilson was asked if he has ever given any thought to writing a book. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I am actually working on a book right now, but it has nothing to do with my life. Well, it does indirectly. I’m actually writing a yoga book at the moment. There’s a little bit of autobiographical material in it, but I don’t think I’m enough of a superstar for anybody to really be interested in my life. I think I’m just being realistic. I feel it would be presumptious to think people would be all that interested in my life. [Laughs] Maybe 10 people would. [Laughs] My family. Some of these [musica...

The program trademarked the gold record and formalized the industry practice of presenting awards to artists fo...

Rumors of Quavo Repossessing Saweetie’s Bentley Are False
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MEGA / Getty Days after Saweetie revealed that she and Quavo had officially split due to his alleged infidelity, rumors had begun spreading that Quavo went there and repossessed that spiffy Bentley he had gifted his ex during better days. Turns out that Quavo’s rumored pettiness is actually false as once again an internet rumor has run wild without any shred of evidence. Sources tell TMZ that rumors of Quavo having the repo man creep in the wee hours of the morning to spitefully take back the luxury automobile are completely false and the 6 figure whip is still safe and sound in Saweetie’s garage. Supposedly, he leased it and never put it in Saweetie’s name — and a deal he struck with the dealership allowed him to end the contract early … which he’s alleg...

Calvin Harris, Steve Aoki, More Bid Over $100,000 on Beeple’s Charity NFT
After making headlines for his historic $69 million NFT sale, Beeple is once again drawing immense attention with a new, charitable auction. Seemingly responding to criticism involving the environmental impact of NFTs, eight pieces of art from eight artists, including Beeple, will be sold with 100% of proceeds directed to the Open Earth Foundation. Organizers have also stated that each piece is carbon-negative and promise that carbon offsets will be provided to each artist involved. Naturally, the circumstances surrounding the unique auction have caused many prominent figures in the art and crypto worlds to get involved. Considering the many electronic music crossovers in the NFT realm, two high-profile dance music stars unsurprisingly joined in on the bidding. Both Steve Aoki and Calvin H...
Kaskade is Getting His Own Fortnite “Party Royale” Concert
Even before concerts were forced online due to the ongoing pandemic, Epic Games‘ flagship title, Fortnite, was hosting full-scale events. After a groundbreaking performance from Marshmello in 2019, they would go on to invite Travis Scott, J Balvin, BTS, deadmau5, and more to the virtual stage. Now, celebrating his recent crossover with Epic Games’ recently-acquired title, Rocket League, Kaskade is primed for an in-game performance. Seemingly due to the nature of the games themselves, the event will not actually take place in the Rocket League application, but rather in the world of Fortnite and the Houseparty app. However, this does not mean there won’t be tons of rocket-powered car soccer elements included. Organizers promise a show that wil...
