Listen to Cam’s “The Otherside,” Co-Written by Avicii
Although it’s been two years since Avicii‘s passing, his influence remains as far-reaching as ever. His latest posthumous co-writing credit comes by way of country singer-songwriter Cam, who worked with him on the titular track of her new album The Otherside, which released today. In a new interview with RADIO.com, Cam discussed meeting Avicii in the studio to work on “The Otherside.” After playing her a melody he had been working on, the two explored writing a chorus together. “He was like, ‘I love that, but this one vowel. You could change this vowel from an ah to an oh,’” she said. Frustrated, Cam said that she thought to herself, “the words are perfect, why would you change that?” However, Cam is glad she followe...
BILLY CORGAN: Watching EDDIE VAN HALEN Play At His Studio Was ‘Like A Religious Experience’
In a new interview with BBC Radio 6 Music, SMASHING PUMPKINS frontman Billy Corgan was asked if he ever got a chance to meet Eddie Van Halen and whether the legendary VAN HALEN axeman was an influence on his guitar playing. Billy responded (hear audio below): “Oh my God! For American guitar players, he was the supreme thing. He’s the one who pushed us to be better than we probably would have been. “I was lucky because, around 1997 [or] ’98, there was a guitar magazine in America, and I went to them, and I said, ‘I’d really like to interview Eddie Van Halen,'” he continued. “And they said, ‘Why do you wanna interview Eddie Van Halen?’ I said, ‘Because I’d really like to introduce him to a generation of alternative guita...

TED NUGENT On DONALD TRUMP: ‘I Genuflect At The Altar Of This Great Man’
Ted Nugent has once again praised President Donald Trump, saying that the billionaire real estate mogul represents “the heart and soul of the best American families out there.” The outspoken conservative rocker, who is a staunch proponent of gun ownership, discussed America’s 45th president in an interview on Thursday (October 29) with InfoWars‘ “The Alex Jones Show”, hosted by noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Speaking about his admiration for Trump, Nugent said: “I genuflect at the altar of this great man. He is just pulling off miracle after miracle.

JUDAS PRIEST’s ROB HALFORD Says Heavy Metal Isn’t ‘Respected Enough’ By ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford says that the heavy metal genre “hasn’t been respected enough” by the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. The British legends were on the ballot for Rock Hall induction this year, but failed to receive enough votes to make the class of 2020. Having been eligible for induction since 1999, PRIEST was previously on the ballot for the 2018 class of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, but was ultimately left out of the inductee list. Asked in new interview with Word In Your Ear if he is “bothered” by the fact that PRIEST hasn’t been inducted into the Rock Hall yet, Halford said (see video below): “Well, let’s put it this way. You have all of these institutions here in America — you’ve got the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame fo...
Black Ops: Kanye West Makes One Last Plea For President In A ‘New York Times’ Ad
Source: Neil Mockford / Getty Even with only days left for people to cast their ballot for President of the United States, and millions of people already having done so, Kanye West is still holding out hope that he can spoil Joe Biden’s Presidential aspirations and help keep Donald Trump in the White House. According to Page Six, Yeezy took out a page in the New York Times on Friday to continue to sell himself to voters as the choice to be the next President even though Kanye’s name is only on the ballots in a handful of states. Penning a plea to voters in the full-page political ad (actually 2-pages if you count the dove on the opposite page—see below), Yeezus attempted to reach out to the Christian evangelical base as he wrote that “We will see families anchoring on faith. Our future hol...
CloutPods: Apple To Drop Updated Entry-Level AirPods & 2nd-Gen AirPods Pro: Report
Source: Apple / AirPods Apple’s new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro is already in the hands of customers, and reportedly some new AirPods are on the way as well. Bloomberg reports that the company that Job’s built is working on an updated version of the entry-level AirPods and a second-generation version of the AirPods Pro with hopes of releasing them next year. According to the report, the new AirPods will be similar to the current AirPods Pro due to a smaller stem and replaceable ear tips. But that’s where the similarities stop because it will not have the noise-canceling feature, which will help Apple sell them at a lower price. The second-generation AirPods Pro will be more compact than ever, according to sources. Bloomberg states that the new AirPods Pro will be stemless, and the design w...
Harlem Street Legend Guy Fisher Is Now A Free Man
Source: Noam Galai / Getty Even though Harlem’s underworld has been stained with several high profile snitches, but one OG who refused to fold. The man who ran uptown like a Fortune 500 company is finally home. Earlier this week Don Diva Magazine revealed that Guy Fisher had been released. For those not in the know, the Bronx native was a principal member of LeroyNicky Barnes’ infamous drug organization in the 1970’s. “After serving over 30 years in federal prison, he has been given a medical pardon and was released yesterday” the caption read. Named “The Council” the crew would be responsible for millions in heroin sales throughout the New York metropolitan area. So much so that their success became a major concern for the local mafia rackets. But as with most criminal empires the police ...
HHW Gaming Review: ‘Watch Dogs: Legion’ Continues To Take The Franchise In A Positive Direction
Source: Ubisoft / Watch Dogs: Legion With the Watch Dogs franchise, Ubisoft has a unique situation on its hands. The first game didn’t quite live up to expectations, while the follow-up was vastly better. Could the studio keep the success going with Watch Dogs: Legion? Before I answer that burning question, let’s just set the scene for the third game in Watch Dog’s growing franchise. When you hit, start you find yourself in near-future London. The famed hacktivist group, Dedsec, has been outlawed after being framed for a terrible terrorist attack by an unknown enemy that rocks the home of Big Ben. As a direct result, London turns to a private military group called Albion to snuff out Dedsec. Source: Ubisoft / Watch Dogs: Legion With the arrival of the evil mercenary group, London is now tu...
