AC/DC’s ANGUS YOUNG Explains ‘Power Up’ Album Title
In a recent interview with Australia’s Triple M radio station, AC/DC guitarist Angus Young spoke about the inspiration for the title of the band’s latest album, “Power Up”. He said (hear audio below): “I went through everything — like titles in songs. In the song ‘Realize’, there’s the line, ‘I’ve got the power to mesmerize.’ The word ‘power,’ it goes back to the name AC/DC. We always looked at ourselves as that of power, electric power. So I just wanted another, if you could say, okay, what could you call AC/DC, and you say they’re power. And I just thought something positive: power up. When we get on a stage, we plug in the guitars and everything powers up when we’re out there.” Angus‘s ...
DREAM THEATER’s JOHN PETRUCCI And JAMES LABRIE Reflect On Losses Of NEIL PEART And EDDIE VAN HALEN
In a new interview with “Talk Is Jericho”, DREAM THEATER guitarist John Petrucci and singer James LaBrie reflected on the losses this year of two of greatest and most influential rock musicians of all time: Neil Peart, drummer and lyricist for the rock band RUSH; and Eddie Van Halen, the guitar virtuoso who propelled his band VAN HALEN into one of hard rock’s biggest groups. Petrucci said (hear audio below): “It was hard. For us, with Neil, we were on tour. We were actually in Europe. “For me, RUSH is my favorite band. Growing up, RUSH was my favorite band; that was it,” he continued. “And Neil, not only obviously as a drummer, what he’s contributed to the drum world, but as a lyricist to me, he was a huge, huge, tremendous influence — probab...

Rumors Swirl of Skrillex and Avril Lavigne Collaboration After Recent Instagram Post
Throwing darts at a board may very well be the most successful strategy for predicting who Skrillex will collaborate with next. Ever since Jack Ü’s 2015 collaboration with Justin Bieber, “Where Are Ü Now” was released, covering Skrillex has taught us that you can never really know what’s coming next. That notion once again became apparent this week as fans were sent into a frenzy upon seeing the producer himself appear in an Instagram Story clip posted by pop-punk icon Avril Lavigne. Though the clip does not seem to have been shot in a studio, fans immediately began circulating rumors of a potential collaboration. To be fair, this could all be just wish-casting, and some were quick to throw cold water on the idea of a collaboration ta...
Richie Hawtin Drops Mesmerizing New EP “Time Warps”
The king of minimalism has returned for his first dance-floor focused EP in 21 years. Richie Hawtin has officially dropped Time Warps, the two-track EP and inaugural release from From Our Minds, the new sub-label of Plus 8 Records. Hawtin is kicking off the new imprint with a bang because Time Warps is truly mesmerizing. Even though it spans only two tracks, it comes in at over 35 minutes, with each moment more hypnotic than the last. Let the minimalistic soundscapes cleanse your mind with deep, dark techno. Along with the release comes a video made with frequent collaborator Barbara Kelin. “As we went into lockdown and the noise of constant touring faded, time opened up in a unique way, Hawtin said of the inspiration behind the new music in a social p...
Headhunterz Shares Preview of Upcoming Official Remix of Illenium’s “Paper Thin”
Illenium‘s “Paper Thin” remix pack is set to grow stronger with the addition of a forthcoming new spin from Headhunterz. The hardstyle tastemaker took to Twitter to share the news and a brief preview, which has our anticipation built up high for release day. While the teaser denies us the satisfaction of a stampeding hardstyle drop (for now), all indicators say Headhunterz is injecting some dark contrast into Illenium’s melodic dubstep original. Headhunterz knows how to build up for a big entrance, riffing on Illenium’s melodic groundwork with a series of siren-like synths as the song builds. Tom DeLonge‘s vocals echo omnipresently in the background as the song melts into an abrupt cutoff, leaving us on edge. Headhunterz’s rem...
Lil Wayne Drops DJ Khaled-Hosted ‘No Ceilings 3′ Mixtape, Featuring Drake, Young Thug & More: Listen
“The mixtape game seemed to be a dying art and since I’m one of the pioneers of the craft, and it played such a big part in my career, I felt it was only right to resurrect it,” Wayne recently told Complex. “Also, it’s a lot of songs out here I wanted to kill my way!” DJ Khaled, who serves as “host” of the new mixtape, teased the project project on Instagram, noting that he worked with Wayne on the rapper’s 2005 mixtape, The Suffix. Weezy’s last mixtape arrived with 2017’s Dedication 6, his long-running mixtape series with DJ Drama. Earlier this year, the rapper earned his fifth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with his latest studio album, Funeral. The set followed his chart-topping Tha Carter V, which was released in 2018....
Van Morrison and Eric Clapton Tease New Anti-Lockdown Song ‘Stand and Deliver’
“I’m not telling people what to do or think, the government is doing a great job of that already,” the 75-year-old singer said in a statement announcing the protest anthems. “It’s about freedom of choice, I believe people should have the right to think for themselves.” Morrison has been campaigning for a re-opening of performance venues at full capacity, with the statement noting that he “feels strongly” that the ongoing lockdown presents an existential threat to the future of live music venues. The U.K. has allowed some socially distanced gigs since Aug. 1, but, as in the U.S., there have been few other shows since the pandemic caused a worldwide lockdown in March. Proceeds from “Stand and Deliver” will benefit Morrison’s Lockdown Financial Hardsh...
Selena Gomez Fans Slam ‘Saved by the Bell’ Reboot for Joking About Singer’s Kidney Transplant
“I know for a fact that Selena Gomez’s kidney donor was Justin Bieber’s mom. God, I wish that I had my phone so that I could prove it,” one character says. The other student replies, “Prove what? That you’re an idiot? It was Demi Lovato‘s kidney. They’re best friends, like you and I were.” In a later scene, the words “Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?” are written near some lockers on the walls of the high school. Selenators definitely didn’t find the scenes funny. Many took to social media to call for the removal of Saved by the Bell from Peacock, and started the trend “RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ” on Twitter. “using what selena gomez went through for entertainment is blatantly insensitive and wrong,” one fan tweeted. “what she went ...
Even Scott Stapp’s Own Kids Make Fun of His ‘Over the Top’ Singing
Creed is the band everyone likes to make fun of, and it’s mostly because of Scott Stapp’s at times comically over-the-top singing style. Thankfully, the vocalist has a good sense of humor about it. In a new interview with The Ringer’s “10 Questions With Kyle Brandt,” Stapp admitted that the criticism actually made him a better singer. “It’s … funny to hear how other people hear you,” he said. “‘Cause I never heard myself with this over-the-top stuff, but I guess that’s the caricature voice of me and it’s funny, man. I’m all about picking on myself. It’s all good man.” “It’s actually helped me as a singer because I’ve heard that and I’ve intentionally enunciated differently on different words and syllables,” Stapp added. “So thank you world, for pointing out a consistent patt...
Kurt Vile Covers John Prine’s “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness” on Seth Meyers: Watch
Kurt Vile stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thanksgiving evening to perform his cover of “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness” by John Prine. Watch the full performance below. Instead of doing the traditional introduction to segue into Vile’s performance, Meyers actually told a brief, personal story before passing the microphone over to the musician. “My family loved John Prine and we booked this act because we thought it would be a perfect song to listen to together on that couch,” he said. “Now we can’t be together, and it was unplanned, but this is a perfect song for anyone who’s not with their loved ones this year.” Vile’s rendition of the song is a faithful, yet emotional, spin on Prine’s original version. Basked in the soft glow of an overhead light, Vile takes his time fingerpi...
