AC/DC’s BRIAN JOHNSON On Hearing Loss That Nearly Ended His Career: ‘I Didn’t Wanna Go Out As A Casualty’
In a new interview with Tom Power, host of “Q” on Canada’s CBC Radio One, AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson reflected on how his hearing loss more than four years ago nearly ended his four-decade career with the band. “[AC/DC] had taken me from a life where I was happy; I did me own thing,” he said. “And I certainly wasn’t wealthy or anything like that [prior to joining AC/DC]. And I’d always wanted to be in a big band. I’d flirted with it in the early ’70s with GEORDIE — we put out three or four Top 10 singles. There was five years where I was just playing in clubs and pubs, and having a great time; I quite enjoyed it — it was fun. And we were very popular out there. “When think back on that now, when I was in this position wher...
Moment – DARK TRANQUILLITY
DARK TRANQUILLITY long ago entered the realm of legacy bands whose newest record will always be, at the very least, pretty good. As some of their other contemporaries from the ’90s Swedish melodic death scene faded into complete irrelevance, diminishing returns, or disastrous experimentation, the group has weathered the trends to remain a solid act that generates plenty of material worth revisiting upon every album release. Even their biggest moment of experimentation on turn-of-the-century albums such as 1999’s “Projector” saw them figuring out ways to tastefully integrate the moments of goth-metal flirtation back into their core blueprint on subsequent records. The group’s latest record, “Moment”, comes after the biggest personnel change since th...
Former METALLICA Bassist JASON NEWSTED Relists Montana Ranch For $4.95 Million
Former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted has relisted his ranch in historic Sula, Montana for sale at $4.95 million. The property, named “Rockin JN Ranch,” which has belonged to Newsted for more than a decade, was previously put on the market for the same price three years ago, but that price came down by $450,000 in July 2019 to $4.5 million. It was eventually removed from the market before being relisted this past June. Newsted and his wife Nicole have been longtime residents of Jupiter, Florida. Last month, Newsted bought a home on Skaneateles Lake in the village of Skaneateles, New York for $6.1 million. A year ago, Jason sold his Walnut Creek, California house for $2.3 million. Six years ago, the now-57-year-old Newsted canceled an appearance at Australia’s Soundwave f...

The Most Influential Artists: #20 Jane’s Addiction
As part of our 35th anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #20. From Los Angeles, California, here is Jane’s Addiction. Credit: Paul Natkin/Getty Images Jane’s Addiction emerged from L.A.’s music scene as a remedy to the hairsprayed hard rock running rampant along the Sunset Strip. With their charged live performances, the four-piece quickly turned heads by integrating metal, funk and psychedelia into their spacious modern rock sound. Led by their provocative and flamboyant frontman Perry Farrell, Jane’s were unlike anything else out there. Releasing two era-defining albums – 1988’s Nothing’s Shocking and 1990’s Ritual de lo Habitual – Jane’s rose up from the underground and achieved mainstream success. They engineered the “alter...

Barack Obama Suggests Rap Music Contributed to Donald Trump’s Support Among Black Men
Ahead of the Nov. 17 release of his memoir, A Promised Land, Barack Obama chatted with The Atlantic about the 2020 election and the state of American politics, among other topics. While discussing populism in the country’s political fabric, the former President brought up Trump’s increase in support among Black male voters, implying that the luxurious nature of rap music could be a factor. “People are writing about the fact that Trump increased his support among Black men [in the 2020 presidential election], and the occasional rapper who supported Trump,” he told the publication. {“nid”:”9485130″,”type”:”post”,”title”:”Barack Obama Unveils Playlist of Songs That Inspired Him During His Presidency”,”re...
Gwen Stefani Can’t Choose Between Her ‘Magical’ Teenage Contestants on ‘The Voice’
When The Voice contestants Carter Rubin, 14, and Larriah Jackson, 15, went face-to-face for the knockout rounds on Monday night (Nov. 16), they blew their coach Gwen Stefani away with their perfectly harmonious rendition of Meghan Trainor and John Legend’s “Like I’m Gonna Lose You.” “I’m gonna quit now,” she joked after the jaw-dropping performance, knowing that she eventually had to choose one of the contestants to send home. “Every second that goes by I keep changing my mind. Larriah was a one-chair turn, and then we get into rehearsals and Larriah blows us away,” she began thinking out loud. “You have already lived a whole life at 15 years old and Julia [Michaels] saw that in you, that you were singing from your heart.
