Double Agent Deactivated: Natalie Addresses Her Unexpected Challenge Exit
Natalie appeared on Survivor twice (winning San Juan del Sur and finishing second on Winners at War) and got off to a strong start on The Challenge: Double Agents with the first Gold Skull. But during this week’s episode, the stellar rookie was deactivated from the competition and “no longer cleared” to be in the game. “It sucks that I have to step out because all I want to do is compete,” Natalie stated shortly after TJ delivered the news to everyone before the mission “Agents Down.” “It’s breaking my heart to leave. I just hope that I can come back and prove that I was built for this game and hopefully next time finish the job I started.” Now, Natalie — who was paired up with Cory at the time — is opening up about th...
ESP Announces 30th-Anniversary KIRK HAMMETT Signature KH-3 Spider Guitar
In 1991, Kirk Hammett of METALLICA came to ESP with a request for a new custom guitar using a single cutaway design, but with the features of his KH-2 signature model. METALLICA‘s graphic artist Pushead designed a spider graphic specifically for this new instrument, which was dubbed the KH-3. Kirk played this guitar throughout the ’90s on tours supporting METALLICA‘s legendary Black Album. After spending a number of years on display at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Kirk‘s original KH-3 was returned to ESP as a reference point to create the new Kirk Hammett KH-3 Spider 30th Anniversary Edition. “I really like the feel of the single cutaway shape, and thought it would be great to add a locking trem and my usual EMG pickups,” says Hammett. “Not to m...
FOO FIGHTERS Drop Another New Song ‘Waiting On A War’
Hot on the heels of “No Son of Mine”, FOO FIGHTERS have unleashed another dose of “Medicine At Midnight” in the form of “Waiting On A War”. In stark contrast to the bludgeoning “final f*ck you to 2020” (UPROXX) of its predecessor, “Waiting On A War” is a sprawling melodic opus that gradually builds to a patented FF rave-up. If “Waiting On A War” seems to have an especially emotional heft to its lyrics, well, that’s because it does. Dave Grohl recounts the personal anecdote that inspired the song: “Last fall, as I was driving my daughter to school, she turned to me and asked, ‘Daddy, is there going to be a war?’ My heart sank as I realized that she was now living under the same dark cloud that I had fe...
TONY IOMMI Looks Back On BLACK SABBATH As Band’s ‘Heavy Metal’ Bench Is Reinstalled In Birmingham: ‘I Wouldn’t Change Anything’
A new video containing an interview with BLACK SABBATH guitar legend Tony Iommi has been made to commemorate the reinstallation of the band’s “heavy metal” bench on Broad Street in Birmingham, England. The mini documentary is presented by Christian Martin, the former Argentinian rugby player who is himself a huge BLACK SABBATH fan, and features rare footage of the band performing in its early days. The video was commissioned and released by Westside BID to commemorate the rededication of the bench which first appeared in 2018 but had been temporarily removed during the Midland Metro tram extension works. Martin, who was in Birmingham last week covering the COVID-19 lockdown for A24, the Argentinian-based cable news channel, agreed to front the video as a “labor of l...

A Dolly Parton Statue In Nashville? There’s a Bill for That
The proposed statue would be financed by gifts, grants and other donations, and handled via the Dolly Parton Fund, a separate account within the state’s general fund, according to the House Bill 135. Should it get the go-ahead, the statue would be located on the Capitol grounds, facing in the direction of Ryman Auditorium. More than 25,000 people signed a Change.org petition to replace one of the many statues of Confederate officers littering the state with one immortalizing a “true Tennessee hero,” Dolly Parton. “Aside from her beautiful music, which has touched the hearts and lives of millions of Americans, Dolly Parton’s philanthropic heart has unquestionably changed the world for the better,” wrote Alex Parsons, who started the petition. “From the Dollywood foundation...
