President Trump Storms Out Of ’60 Minutes’ Interview, Blasts Journalist On Twitter
Source: Array / WENN During a taping of a joint interview with Vice President Mike Pence for CBS’s 60 Minutes, President Donald Trump reportedly cut things short due to a line of questions about the coronavirus. Trump then took to Twitter and jabbed at journalist Lesley Stahl while deeming the interview “fake” and “biased.” According to a report from CNN, sources tell the network that Trump was grilled on his handling of the coronavirus epidemic among other concerns. Around 45 minutes in, Trump ended the discussion saying that the network had enough footage and soon after began tweeting missives in the direction of Stahl, including one tweet featuring a video of Stahl not wearing a mask. “Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes not wearing a mask in the White House after her interview with me. Much mor...

ALDO NOVA Releases New Single ‘Hey Ladi Dadi’
Canadian guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, songwriter and producer Aldo Nova has released a new single, “Hey Ladi Dadi”, on all the digital outlets. He describes the song as “almost heavy metal, but with a hook that’ll have you shaking your head and stomping your feet at the same time.” “Hey Ladi Dadi” is taken from Aldo‘s 23-song, one-hour-and-53-minute-long rock opera titled “The Life And Times Of Eddie Gage”, which is due out in May 2021. Nova decided in 2008 not to write, produce, or do anything for anyone else but himself and chose to pursue his vision of writing and creating a rock opera which, from its inception, was called “The Life And Times Of Eddie Gage”. He wrote his first song for it on February 8, 2008 ca...

Troy Sanders from Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON played bass for iconic rockers THIN LIZZY during their summer 2019 run of European festival appearances to commemorate 50 years since the formation of the original band and 40 years since the release of the seminal “Black Rose” album. Sanders joined guitarist Scott Gorham, Darren Wharton on keyboards, Ricky Warwick on lead vocals, Damon Johnson on guitar and JUDAS PRIEST‘s Scott Travis on drums for several shows in late July and early August, including an August 10, 2019 slot at Alcatraz Hard Rock & Metal Festival in Kortrijk, Belgium. Speaking to the “Scars And Guitars” podcast, Sanders said: “Last year, doing those few shows with THIN LIZZY was, without a doubt, one of the top most special mo...
ARCHITECTS Announce ‘For Those That Wish To Exist’ Album
England-based post-metalcore quintet ARCHITECTS will release its ninth studio album, “For Those That Wish To Exist”, on February 26 via Epitaph. The record arrives as the follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2018 release “Holy Hell”, which took a look at the pain and despair that lay at the heart of losing a brother, bandmate, and best friend in Tom Searle, the group’s founding guitarist. On “For Those That Wish To Exist”, ARCHITECTS examine the part we are all playing in the world’s slow destruction, and tackle the biggest questions facing the future of our planet. Such concerns that have long been prevalent in the music of a band who have continually championed and shared their platform with causes such as Sea Shepherd, are ou...
Watch BLACK SABBATH Drummer BILL WARD Read Halloween Poem ‘It’s Nearly Time’
Founding BLACK SABBATH drummer Bill Ward has released a video of him reading an original Halloween poem called “It’s Nearly Time”. Check it out below. Ward was on board for the SABBATH reunion when it was first announced nine years ago, but backed out soon after. The drummer later claimed that he sat out the recording and touring sessions because of unfair contractual terms, although the members of SABBATH have hinted in other interviews that he wasn’t physically up to the task. All four original members of SABBATH were present when the band announced its reunion in late 2011. But Ward split from the group in 2012, citing an “unsignable” contract, and singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler carried on with their Rick Rubin–pr...
Marika Hackman Covers Elliott Smith’s “Between the Bars”, Beyoncé’s “All Night”: Stream
Next month, English indie rocker Marika Hackman will release a new covers album featuring takes on Radiohead, Grimes, Sharon Van Etten, and more. As a preview of the simply titled Covers, Hackman is now sharing her version of the 1997 Elliott Smith song “Between the Bars” and Beyoncé highlight “All Night”. “When it comes to covers, I like to pick songs which I have been listening to obsessively for a while,” the 28-year-old Londoner noted in a statement. “It gives me a natural understanding of the music, and lets me be more innovative with how I transform it.” Hackman just might be underselling herself with the word “innovative”, as her reworks of Smith and Queen Bey are quite remarkable. And not just for their unique arrangements, but also the fact that such contrasting covers somehow exi...
Ministry Unveil New “Git Up, Get Out ‘N Vote” Video, Promote “Soundtrack to Your Election” Playlist: Stream
Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen has been an outspoken critic of the status quo in U.S. politics, as evidenced by the band’s politically charged 2018 album AmeriKKKant. Now, the band is encouraging its fans to vote in this upcoming election with a new lyric video for the 2012 song, “Git Up, Get Out ‘N Vote”. The track first appeared on Ministry’s 2012’s album, Relapse, gaining some notoriety for its outright direct message of encouraging people to vote. Atypical subject matter for most metal bands, but right in the wheelhouse for Jourgensen and company. Ministry first started its 2020 voting campaign back in July, enabling fans register to vote through the band’s website and other means. The band also created a 30-song “Soundtrack to Your Election” Spotify playlist to raise voter awareness ...
Kanye West’s Poll Numbers, Much Like His Grammy, Are in the Toilet
The American public has been hoodwinked into electing some absolutely terrible human beings to the highest levels of office. But credit where credit is due: at least we’re not dumb enough to vote for Kanye West for president. Despite pouring in millions of dollars of his own money, Kanye West’s 2020 presidential campaign remains remarkably unpopular. A poll released by Reuters/IPSOS on October 17th has Kanye receiving just 2% of the vote nationally — which, in his defense, is 2% more than he was polling at two weeks prior. On a statewide level, Kanye isn’t doing much better. The Trump campaign had hoped Kanye would siphon off votes from Joe Biden in crucial swing states, but the rapper is polling at 1% in both Wisconsin and Michigan, and 0% (!) in North Carolina. And in a further sign...
R.I.P. Tony Lewis, Singer of The Outfield’s “Your Love”, Dies at 62
Tony Lewis, the lead singer and bassist of UK pop rock band The Outfield, has died at the age of 62. According to a statement from his publicist, Lewis died “suddenly and unexpectedly” on Monday (Oct. 19th) near London. A cause of death was not immediately made available. The Outfield’s origins date back to the early 1980s, when Lewis and guitarist John Spinks formed a prog rock band called Sirius B. The duo later recruited drummer Alan Jackman and reinvented themselves as a power-pop group under the moniker of The Outfield. The band experienced almost immediate success with the release of their debut, 1985’s Play Deep, which climbed to No. 9 on the album charts and was certified three-times platinum in the US. Much of the album’s success is owed to its massive single, “Your Love”, wh...
Cardi B Deads Her Twitter Account Due To Backlash Of Reuniting With Offset
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN After a few weeks of separation and a divorce filing, Cardi B decided to give her marriage to Offset another chance. But after her decision caused an unforeseen backlash from her rabid stan base, the “Bodak Yellow” decided to deactivate her Twitter account as she doesn’t want to hear anything negative from anyone right about now. As of Monday (Oct. 19), Cardi’s Twitter account went dark thanks to all the people weighing in on her decision to take back Offset for the umpteenth time in their years-long relationship and she’s not having it right now. Taking to Instagram Live to air out her frustrations with her fans, Cardi made it clear that she’s not here for anyone’s opinions saying, “When my fans talk sh*t about me instead of having my f*ckin’ back, and then they...
Conway The Machine Blesses His Mama With A New Whip For Her Birthday
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Conway The Machine is easily one of Hip-Hop’s hardest rappers today and while he is considered many things to his legion of fans, no one would’ve ever pegged him for a mama’s boy. Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but the From King To A God rapper does love his Old Earth and has no problem spreading the well-earned wealth he’s been blessed to earn in the year of 2020. Over the weekend, Conway and his family celebrated his mother’s birthday and yesterday shared a video in which he surprised her with her very own brand new truck. Accompanied with a caption that read, “Put together a special birthday dinner celebration yesterday for my number 1 lady, and I surprised her with a brand new truck for her bday…. love u to pieces mommy,” the video captures th...
