MARILYN MANSON On OZZY OSBOURNE: ‘He’s Always Been A Very Quiet And Interesting Person’
Marilyn Manson spoke to Consequence Of Sound about the influence that Ozzy Osbourne has had on his career, and he reminisced about his early exposure to the legendary BLACK SABBATH singer’s music. “I remember getting [Ozzy‘s solo debut] ‘Blizzard Of Ozz’ when I was in Christian school,” Manson recalled. “My mother took me to get it at the record store when it was highly frowned upon and forbidden in Christian school. But I just remember that he had this strange mystique that he’s never really escaped from, despite the fact that he even had a reality TV show. Somehow his music outlived that [show]. That’s something I would not have done, ’cause I would never want to share my personal life on reality TV. But his music completely exc...

MEGADETH’s DAVE MUSTAINE Didn’t Know Why His Voice Was Hurting Before He Was Diagnosed With Throat Cancer
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine, who went public with his throat cancer diagnosis in June 2019, spoke to Colleen Carew of the 100.7 The Bay radio station about the progress of the recording sessions for the band’s follow-up to 2016’s “Dystopia” album. He said (hear audio below): “I think we would have been done a long time ago if I hadn’t discovered the cancer. I didn’t know I had it, and I was just trying to get from point A to point B and didn’t really know why my voice was hurting. And then I found out. And now I’m super stoked. I’m actually excited to see how the new record turns out with singing, since they’ve got that weird antibody, whatever it is, that had invaded my vocal box.” Mustaine was told he was cancer-f...

Be Careful: Cardi B Wants Her Divorce From Offset To Be Drama Free
Source: Prince Williams / ATLPics.Net It seems when it comes to her split from her husband Cardi B just wants channel Spongebob and just head out. She is making it clear she wants to keep things friendly with Offset.

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz If there’s one thing 50 Cent knows how to do, it’s creating quality television for the culture. We know it, and Starz knows it, too.

Fif will develop both series as an executive producer through his G-Unit Film and Television imprint under his exclusive four-year deal with the premium network.

Dee Snider has blasted a group of anti-maskers who stormed into a Target store in Florida while shouting along to the Twisted Sister classic “We’re Not Gonna Take It”. The band’s legendary frontman dubbed them “selfish assholes”. Snider recently voiced his disdain for Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic while speaking with us over Zoom. “The president’s response [and] the White House response has been to politicize [the pandemic] and to separate us more, and make it about politics, instead of joining together and helping each other,” the singer told us. On Tuesday night, Snider shared a video of a bunch of people who marched into a Target and urged shoppers to take off their masks, all while blasting and shouting along to “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” In his Twitter post, Snider ...
Hans Zimmer Covered Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” with a 32-Person Choir Over FaceTime
We’re one week past D-Day (that’s Dune-trailer day, of course) and everyone is still buzzing about Hans Zimmer’s epic arrangement of Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse”. Now Variety has the lowdown on how it all came together, with FaceTime, a socially-distanced 32-person choir, pandemic recording pods, and more. This behind-the-scenes tale began at Zimmer’s Remote Control studio in Santa Monica, CA. The 32-person ensemble was led by Edie Lehmann Boddicker, who had previously assisted Zimmer on The Lion King. At 63 years old, the legendary composer himself opted to minimize his human interaction, instead FaceTming in from his home studio, giving direction and offering suggestions. Boddicker described the quarantine choir as a “who’s-who” of Los Angeles session musicians, a...
Viggo Mortensen’s Falling Offers Repetition and Expletives, But No Payoff: TIFF Review
This review is part of our coverage of the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival. The Pitch: In Viggo Mortensen’s directorial debut, gay Air Force pilot John (Mortensen) struggles to care for his ailing conservative father, Willis (Lance Henriksen). Malcontent and never afraid to shy away from a racist, homophobic or sexist rant, Willis offends everyone from John’s husband Eric (Terry Chen) to his daughter Sarah (Laura Linney), all while he slips in and out of flashbacks, including his two marriages to wives Gwen (Hannah Gross) and Jill (Bracken Burns). Grumpy Old Man: Early in Falling, as the relationship between John and Willis is being established, it’s clear that Henriksen is exceptional in the role. Willis is the kind of curmudgeonly character whose edges are too often softened in ...

Draeden Unleashes Impassioned Heater “Crossfire” Featuring Garrett Raff
Dim Mak‘s New Noise imprint is incredibly consistent when it comes to picking up releases that showcase new or quickly rising talents. After his stunning debut on Ophelia Records in May and shining on Kannibalen Records last year, Draeden has returned with “Crossfire” featuring Garrett Raff. “Crossfire” is an impassioned dubstep slammer that expertly conveys its message through both its lyrics and thoughtful song structure. Opening simply with Garrett Raff’s powerful vocals and subtle piano, the track quickly changes pace with the introduction of jarring bass elements. The orchestral build-up smoothly transitions into aggressive growls and an unrelenting barrage of synths, helping solidify the perfect blend of soothing moments and sprawling int...
