King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and Wife Toyah Cover Britney Spears’ “Toxic”: Watch
King Crimson co-founder Robert Fripp and his wife Toyah Willcox are using the latest installment of their “Sunday Lunch” performance series to pay homage to Britney Spears. The couple described their quarantine cover of Spears’ 2004 single “Toxic” as a “love letter” to the pop singer amid her ongoing conservatorship battle with her father. To that point, the hashtag #freebritney appeared in the upper right corner of the video, and Fripp and Willcox closed their performance by holding up signs that read, “Britney We C You”. Watch the footage below. Since launching their “Sunday Launch” series last year, Robert and Toyah have covered a wide array of artists, including Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”, Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell”, Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle”, the Joan Jett ...
Eminem Fires Back at Attempts to Cancel Him in “Tone Deaf” Lyric Video: Watch
Eminem has been a target of cancel culture before the phrase was even part of the lexicon. His lyrics have long been violent, homophobic, misogynistic, and sexist (with more than a dash or rapey-ness), with most of his shocking locutions attributed to “alter egos” Slim Shady and Eminem, while Marshall Mathers stood separate as a sincere wordsmith. Now, it’s Gen Z’s turn to try and put an end to one of the most controversial hip-hop icons, and Em is having none of it. As Hot New Hip-Hop reported, Gen Z TikTok recently set their sights on Eminem for his past lyrics, particularly a line in his Rihanna collaboration “Love the Way You Lie” where he spits, “If she ever tries to fucking leave again/ I’mma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire.” (Which is kinda like trying to cancel D...

On Saturday, the Mumford & Sons banjo player praised the troll for releasing such an “important” piece of literature (thats cover is branded with an endorsement from conservative schmuck Tucker Carlson). “Congratulations @MrAndyNgo,” he wrote. “Finally had the time to read your important book You’re a brave man” Unsurprisingly, Twitter was not happy. Fellow UK musicians Sleaford Mods summed it up nicely with this reply: “You are minted, you thick cunt. Step outside of ya bloodline for two minutes and use your fuckin loaf.” You are minted, you thick cunt. Step outside of ya bloodline for two mi...

TESTAMENT Might Record A Couple Of New Songs Before Returning To The Road
In a new interview with Rocking With Jam Man, TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy was asked if he and his bandmates have been working on any new music during the coronavirus pandemic. He responded (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “No, we haven’t, but Eric [Peterson, guitar] is writing some music [on his own]. I haven’t heard anything yet. It all starts with Eric, so I just kind of wait. He’s gotta be in the right mood. And probably, being stuck at home with the pandemic, I would think he would be jamming and writing some stuff. So I think we’ll probably at least have a couple of new songs. ‘Cause it makes sense — if we write a couple of new songs, maybe we can do a repackage of the [latest TESTAMENT album, ‘Titans Of Creation’].
