Those who missed the in-person event or its livestream can now enjoy recordings from the four headlining acts. While most of the world’s music fans are persevering the global live music festival shutdown due to the ongoing health crisis, the party raged on in Taiwan over the weekend.

To the delight of those living in countries without live music and to those who might have missed the livestream, a fan uploaded the headlining performances to YouTube after their premiere.

RUDY SARZO’s Advice To Up-And-Coming Musicians: ‘Think For Yourself’
In a new interview with Metal-Net, legendary hard rock bassist Rudy Sarzo was asked what advice he has for up-and-coming musicians who are looking to make it in the music industry. He responded (see video below): “That is so hard, because I learned that I learned from experience and not from advice. Sometimes advice can be a little bit of mind control. And we all have different references. I can tell you something based on my reference that might be so alien to somebody else because they did not experience my references. That’s why I really stay out of politics, because I have certain references that very few people have. And I make decisions and I look at the world because of my own personal experience that has nothing to do with other people. So it’s very hard for me to...
URIAH HEEP’s MICK BOX On Hypothetical ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Induction: ‘If It Happens, It Happens’
In a new interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station, URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box was asked why his band has not yet been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He responded: “Funny enough, we did a European tour with THE ZOMBIES supporting us. And then they got nominated, and they got in the Hall Of Fame. So I don’t think there’s any particular rules. I think they’ve got their own agenda, and I think they only choose a small amount of people each year. Our industry is full of people that deserve to be there, and it’s nice that people include us in that deserving place. But if it happens, it happens; and if it doesn’t, we’ll carry on with life. But if we do get in the Hall Of Fame, it will just be a tick in the box that w...
