MIKE PATTON Will Listen To DR. FAUCI, Not DONALD TRUMP, About When It’s Safe To Resume Live Concerts
FAITH NO MORE and MR. BUNGLE singer Mike Patton spoke to Consequence Of Sound about how the pandemic has affected him personally and professionally. He said: “When this stuff started, all I can think about is basically we were so lucky to do those BUNGLE shows when we did them in late February. I just felt lucky that we got those in. During the [pandemic], I had to cancel a year’s worth of shows. I was scheduled to be with FAITH NO MORE, doing a lot of different stuff on different continents. So, I took the pandemic as an opportunity … I like being at home and I’m not really a social guy anyway. So fuck it, I’ll stay home and make music. No big deal.

IRON MAIDEN’s ADRIAN SMITH: ‘You Have To Dedicate Yourself To One Thing If You Wanna Make An Impression’
During an appearance on “The Thinking Tackle Podcast”, IRON MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith spoke about how he copes with his band’s heavy touring schedule and the pressure to perform day after day. “It was more intense in the ’80s, because I think when you’re younger, you don’t quite know how to handle things,” he said (see video below). “I was only in my 20s when I joined; I was still a kid, really. I wasn’t a very mature 24-year-old. And we were going out on the road, and we were doing all these shows. You’ve got a certain amount of responsibilities, especially when you start headlining. You can’t be messing around, staying up all night and misbehaving. “We played with some great bands,” he continued. R...
LAMB OF GOD’s JOHN CAMPBELL Calls TRUMP ‘A Murderous Sociopath’, Says America Is ‘F**ked’
In a recent interview with Holland’s FaceCulture, LAMB OF GOD bassist John Campbell was asked for his opinion on the state of America at the moment. He responded: “We’re fucked. The national leadership is a murderous sociopath. And it’s, I think, glaringly obvious, when you know that there’s a deadly virus going around, yet you have rallies where you bring people together in a closed area. “The reason that we [did] these online [LAMB OF GOD] performances [last month] is because it would be irresponsible to gather people like that. So we’re trying to push forward as best we can, whereas the president of the fucking country is killing people; he’s murdering people.” Asked if he thinks the upcoming presidential election will matter, Campbe...
Listen To GILBY CLARKE’s ‘Tightwad’ Single Featuring NIKKI SIXX And STEPHEN PERKINS
Former GUNS N’ ROSES guitarist Gilby Clarke has just released a new single, “Tightwad”. The track, which features MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s Nikki Sixx on bass and JANE’S ADDICTION‘s Stephen Perkins on drums, is taken from Clarke‘s upcoming album, “The Gospel Truth”. “This song was written around a guitar riff I discovered while trying out a new fuzz pedal,” Gilby said. “Lyrically I was inspired by deceit, treachery and the creative extremes people will go through to get ahead. I tried to get my message through with humor, but if it hits to close to home, maybe we all should take a closer look at ourselves and make improvements. “I was lucky to have some wonderful musician friends contribute to the recording of this track, Ni...

We had two where the nominations were presented; we had one for the show host; and then we had fou...
