Long’s shooting spree took place in over 45 minutes, leading to early speculation that this was a calculated act of terror.

Watch a Snowboarder Shred Down Red Rocks Amphitheatre After Blizzard
If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been extremely board. Following a massive blizzard that trapped hundreds of cars on highways and left some parts of Colorado buried in two feet of snow, one intrepid snowboarder saw an opportunity. A local man named Wes Hughes decided to head to the fabled Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where he snuck in for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board down the snow-covered venue. Skiing and snowboarding are not allowed at Red Rocks, according to the Denver Parks and Recreation Department. Ergo, Hughes was eventually escorted off the property by the venue’s security team, but not before shredding powder down the entire amphitheatre. Check out the video below, courtesy o...

ALL THAT REMAINS ‘Can’t Do Anything’ That Has Late Guitarist OLI HERBERT’s Name On It, Says PHIL LABONTE
ALL THAT REMAINS vocalist Phil Labonte has revealed that a financial dispute with the wife of the band’s late guitarist Oli Herbert has made it impossible for the band to use Herbert‘s name in connection with any of its projects. Speaking to American Songwriter, Labonte said he and his bandmates have toyed with the idea of hosting benefits for Herbert and even starting a charity or project in the late musician’s name. “We talked about ideas to do a benefit to raise money for kids in schools, but we can’t do anything that has his name on it,” Labonte said. Labonte also confirmed that ALL THAT REMAINS has always paid everything owed to Herbert‘s estate and will continue to do so. “We’ve made sure that that our accountants and all the peop...
JAMES DURBIN ‘Didn’t Really Learn Anything’ From Time He Spent Fronting QUIET RIOT
In a new interview with Wrestling Epicenter and Sleaze Roxx, former QUIET RIOT singer James Durbin was asked what he learned from the time he spent fronting the veteran hard rock act. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, I can sum that up quickly: nothing. I didn’t learn anything I didn’t know before. “For the longest time, I thought that’s something that I really wanted, was to step into a band and sing for a band that had already been established over so many years and all that, and had several different brushes with that almost happening — different auditions and different things and connections; just really random ones. “But it’s very interesting. I didn’t really learn anything,” he reiterated. “I had a to...

Chevelle Singer Says Band Didn’t Make Money From Record Deal Despite Selling ‘Millions of Albums’
With over 62 million Spotify streams for “Send the Pain Below,” millions of albums sold and a deal with Epic Records since 2002, you’d think hard rock outfit Chevelle would be doing pretty well financially. However, Chevelle vocalist/guitarist Pete Loeffler said in an interview with “The KiddChris Show” on WEBN radio in Cincinnati that the band fulfilled their contract with the label with the 2021 release of NIRATIAS, and that now, “It would be nice to do something different and actually make a buck off of an album for once; it just hasn’t happened for us. We’ve sold 6 million albums for Epic Records, and they’ve made 50 million dollars. It’s lopsided.” <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537&#...

The Funk and the Fire
What’s a musician supposed to do during the pandemic when the stages of the world have gone silent? If you’re Judith Hill, you record the album you were born to make. “Funk is the party in the midst of a burning fire,” says Hill, seated in a chair in the backyard of her Los Angeles home. “My music is about finding the funk and soul in the middle of sorrow. You have to find a way to dance in the fire. That’s the type of funk I feel I’m moving into.” <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:”10315″,”inviewBottomOffset”:”105px”} }...
