Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Sting Say Brexit Deal ‘Shamefully Failed’ Them
Music stars, including Elton John, Sting, Bob Geldof and Ed Sheeran, said on Wednesday (Jan. 20) that the U.K. government “shamefully failed” creatives with its post-Brexit trade deal and urged it to reach an agreement with the European Union to ensure visa- and bureaucracy-free tours. They highlighted that the trade pact, unveiled at Christmas, leads to “extra costs” and work that would “make many tours unviable, especially for young emerging musicians who are already struggling to keep their heads above water owing to the COVID ban on live music.” Instead, they called for “paperwork-free travel in Europe for British artists and their equipment.” One key concern is that under the trade pact touring musicians and their teams need separate vis...

JEFF SCOTT SOTO Opens Up About His Use Of Pre-Recorded Tracks During Live Performances: ‘I Don’t Wanna Bulls**t Anybody’
Acclaimed hard rock vocalist Jeff Scott Soto has opened up about his use of using backing tracks for certain songs during his live performances, saying he doesn’t “wanna bullshit anybody.” In recent years, more and more artists have been given a pass for relying on pre-recorded tracks, drum triggers and other assorted technology that makes concerts more synthetic but also more consistent. For better or worse, pre-recorded tracks are becoming increasingly common for touring artists of all levels and genres and they’re not just used in pop music — many rock artists utilize playback tracks to varying degrees. Speaking to Jeff Gaudiosi of MisplacedStraws.com about his use of backing tracks, Jeff said: “I’ve always tried to be candid. I don’t wanna bull...
DAVE LOMBARDO: How I Almost Joined MEGADETH In 1987
Dave Lombardo was recently interviewed on “Speak N’ Destroy”, a podcast about all things METALLICA, hosted by longtime journalist and METALLICA fan Ryan J. Downey. During the lengthy chat, the former SLAYER drummer once again confirmed that he came close to joining MEGADETH nearly three and a half decades ago as the replacement for Gar Samuelson. Dave said: “A funny story — I was going to join MEGADETH when I left SLAYER the first time in ’86… It was very much on the down low. And probably [MEGADETH mainman Dave] Mustaine doesn’t remember this. But they had opened up for Alice Cooper during the ‘Peace Sells’ tour. And I went to the Long Beach Arena [in March 1987], and I met with the guys. I believe that the main issue at that time was when I...
