BTS Faces Uproar In China Over Korean War Comments
“After 70 years, the world we are living in is much closer than before. Boundaries in many aspects are getting more blurred,” RM said. “As members of the global community, we should build a deeper understanding and solidarity to be happier together.” Chinese internet users and state media took RM’s comments as a slap at China, whose soldiers fought alongside North Korean forces during their failed attempt to annex South Korea in the 1950-53 war. They accused RM of ignoring the role played by China in the war, which Chinese Communist Party propaganda blames on the United States, instead of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung’s attack on South Korea. “Before, I thought some BTS songs were pretty good. Now, they seem to be covered in excrement,” said a commenter on the microblog service Sina Weib...
Billie Eilish Shares Racy Photo With Cryptic Message
The 18-year-old “Bad Guy” singer would do fine going back in time. She pretty much owned 2019 with the debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which hit the pinnacle of sales charts around the globe and scooped five Grammys earlier this year, including a rare sweep of the Big Four categories: album, record and song of the year plus best new artist. Along the way, she smashed records left and right. Among them, she became the youngest album of the year winner in Grammy history (at 18), and the youngest singer of a Bond theme, “No Time to Die” (also 18). Unlike most of us, Eilish has been productive during the pandemic. During a recent interview for The Tonight Show, Eilish and her brother and collaborator Finneas revealed they’ve been in the zone....

HHW Gaming Review: ‘Star Wars: Squadrons’ Delivers The Authentic ‘Star Wars’ Experience Fans Will Love
Source: EA / Motive Studios Does Motive Studios/EA’s Star Wars: Squadrons deliver the authentic experience of hopping into your favorite starfighter from the iconic films? It most certainly does. Like the Star Wars films, there have been a sh*t load of games to accompany them, some good and some outright terrible. Since signing a deal with Disney back in 2013 giving them the exclusive rights to develop games based on George Lucas’ brainchild, EA has done a pretty solid job of taking us to a galaxy far far away via our favorite video game consoles. Most of the games usually deliver a mix of decent lightsaber action, blaster shooting with a pinch of space combat. But when it comes to the ones solely based on reliving the epic battles that we witnessed in the films, it’s been a somewhat okay ...
BLACK SABBATH’s TONY IOMMI Teams Up With PINK FLOYD’s NICK MASON For Cancer Charity Album
BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi has told Spain’s La Heavy magazine that he recently collaborated with PINK FLOYD co-founder and drummer Nick Mason. “A few weeks ago, Nick and I recorded a song for a charity album that will raise funds to fight cancer,” Tony said. “They asked me to go and provide some riffs for it. Of course, I gladly agreed.” Iommi went on to say that other rock royalty is involved with the project, including possibly THE ROLLING STONES guitarist Ronnie Wood. Iommi was diagnosed with lymphoma in early 2012, shortly after SABBATH announced a reunion tour and album. He underwent treatment throughout the recording of the disc, titled “13”, and the subsequent tour to promote it. Iommi said in 2016 interview that “the lowest mo...
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Officially Parts Ways With Guitarist JASON HOOK, Announces Replacement

Thank you for the endless stories of how our music has touched your heart in some way! But the best part of being on tour the last 12 years, by far, has been playing my guitar and seeing the joy on your faces every night. I will miss that more than anything. “As far the reason I’m leav...

I’ll go back to my motherland, go back to go Greece and get a house on one of the islands. “The thing that stings the most is that I feel like we’re embarrassing,” he explained. “I feel like people in Europe and the rest of the world look at America and think: ‘What the fuck are you guys doing over there? Stop voting for celebrities and get someone real to run the country.'” Tommy freq...

I didn’t know what I was doing then. So, I wouldn’t have done anything differently, because I had an unbelievable time doing it — great experiences. And it was...
