BRIAN WHEAT Says DAVE RUDE ‘Saved’ TESLA
In 2006, when TESLA needed a new guitar player to replace original member Tommy Skeoch, Dave Rude took the job and the band hasn’t looked back since. TESLA bassist Brian Wheat, who is promoting his recently released autobiography, “Son Of A Milkman: My Crazy Life With Tesla”, spoke to “The SDR Show” about how Rude landed the gig. “Frank Hannon [TESLA guitarist], he does a lot of social media,” he said. “He found Dave Rude on MySpace. He said, ‘I saw this guy. His picture looks really cool. So then I checked him out, and he’s got some cool songs.’ And I said, ‘Well, cool. Get together with him, play and let’s see what happens.’ And then Dave came to my studio. Frank was there. And him and Frank were out ther...
KORN’s BRIAN ‘HEAD’ WELCH: Music Is More Important Than Ever For Me
KORN guitarist Brian “Head” Welch spoke to “Whiplash”, the KLOS radio show hosted by Full Metal Jackie, about the role of music in his life, especially as someone who got sober and found faith more than a decade and a half ago. “I just feel like music is so important for the human soul — for some more than others,” he said (hear audio below). “We’re all created different; we’ve all got different things going, different mechanisms, or whatever you call it, in us. “I’m an emotional guy, and I feel greatly — I feel the highs and I feel the lows,” he continued. “And so music has really been there for me to help carry me out of the lows and help me soar in the highs. And for now, I just feel like music balances me in ...
ALICE COOPER Explains Why He Covered ‘Our Love Will Change The World’ For ‘Detroit Stories’ Album
Alice Cooper spoke to Noise 11 about his decision to record a cover version of OUTRAGEOUS CHERRY‘s 2005 song “Our Love Will Change The World”. The track will appear on his upcoming album, “Detroit Stories”, due out February 26 via earMUSIC. “Well, that song in particular was a really interesting song,” Alice said (see video below). “We wanted to cover Motown, we wanted to cover punk, we wanted to cover blues — that’s all Detroit, mostly hard rock. But that song came out of an ’80s psychedelic punk band called OUTRAGEOUS CHERRY. And we heard the song, and we couldn’t get it out of our mind — the song was so catchy. And so I listened to it, and I said [to my producer Bob Ezrin], ‘Bob, listen to this. This song is so happ...

The multi-talented actor will be starring in a remake of Mr. and Mrs. Smith alongside actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge that’s set to drop next year via Amazon Prime.
