BEARTOOTH Announces Drive-In Concert
Columbus rock band BEARTOOTH has announced a safe and socially distanced drive-in concert that will take place in the Menominee Nation Arena parking lot in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The one-night-only and one-of-a-kind show is set for Friday, October 9 and will be presented by WZOR. “I can’t wait to play this show,” says singer Caleb Shomo. “I know it’s been a crazy time and live music has been nearly impossible, so to have a chance to play to people in a safe way is an amazing feeling. We’re gonna bring all the heat we physically can. The rock will never be stopped.” All necessary and required safety precautions will be in place for band, crew, and patrons. The promoter for this special show has received support from Winnebago County, the City of Oshkos...
COREY TAYLOR: ‘Sometimes All We Have In Life Is Music’
In a new interview with Full Metal Jackie‘s nationally syndicated radio show, SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor was asked to name the biggest adjustment he has had to make, not being on the road during the coronavirus pandemic. He responded (hear audio below): “I guess the biggest adjustment is getting used to just being home. This is the longest I’ve been off the road in over 20 years. So, for me, there’s definitely that moment of ‘be careful what you wish for,’ because there are definitely times on the road where I wish I was home with my family. But then you’re at home and then you wish you were on the road, so it’s almost like a double-edged sword. For me, it’s really about being in the moment and just being present and ...
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Films Music Video For ‘Living The Dream’
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH is filming a video for “Living The Dream”, the latest single from its eighth album, “F8”, which came out in February via Better Noise Music. Late Thursday night (September 10), FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory uploaded several photos from the set of the new video and included the following caption: “On the set shooting ‘Living the Dream’“. The follow-up to 2018’s “And Justice For None”, “F8” capped a turbulent period for FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH in which singer Ivan Moody finally got sober after a near-fatal struggle with addiction, while co-founding drummer Jeremy Spencer bowed out of the band due to physical issues. Much of “F8”‘s lyrical content deals wi...
Madonna Reveals Plot Details of Upcoming Biopic
In a casual, hour-plus Instagram Live on Thursday (Sept. 10), Madonna and Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody discussed plot details of the movie that will cover her “struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man’s world. Really, the journey, which has been happy, sad, mad, good bad and ugly,” Madonna said. “We’re here writing a screenplay,” the singer affirms in the video. “It’s a story about my life. We’ve been working on it a few months, and it’s been a bit weird writing about me. I have to remember a lot of stuff that later on disturbs me, so it’s kind of like a form of therapy. Sometimes,” she admits, “I get confused and forget I’m writing about me, and start referring to myself as ‘she.’” The pair laugh about Cody’s small computer font and being dressed “like dominat...
Angel Olsen Covers George Harrison’s ‘Beware of Darkness’
With everything that’s happened in 2020 so far, the year has definitely been a mood. And Angel Olsen adds to it with an acoustic cover of “Beware of Darkness” from George Harrison’s 1970 album, All Things Must Pass. “The original is pretty great,” she captioned the Instagram video, which also included the lyrics to the track. “I’m just messing around like a tired sad shit.” It unsurprisingly got many rave reviews, including one from Jehnny Beth of Savages. “I love the way your voice gets more assured towards the end,” Beth commented on the video. “Properly walking then. The power of music. Thank you.” Olsen just released her fifth album, Whole New Mess, on Aug. 28 via Jagjaguwar. She also played the title track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Watch Angel Olsen’s cover of Ge...
Disturbed Drop Cover of Sting’s ‘If I Ever Lose My Faith in You’
Disturbed has released another surprisingly mellow cover: a version of the 1993 Sting hit “If I Ever Lose My Faith In You.” The Chicago-bred lineup enjoyed previous success with their take on Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” as well as versions of Tears for Fears’ “Shout” and Genesis’ “Land of Confusion.” “We have loved this song for a long time, and even though it was released in 1993, it seems strangely applicable to today’s world,” the Grammy-nominated band explained in a statement. “The song is about losing faith, and might initially sound pessimistic, but it’s about the importance and power of personal relationships, and how they can save you and provide solace in an increasingly confusing world.” A moody black and white video directed by Matt Mahurin captures t...
The Flaming Lips Share ‘God and the Policeman’ Video
The Flaming Lips’ American Head is out now and to celebrate it, they dropped a new video for “God and the Policeman.” Directed by Wayne Coyne and Blake Studdard, the video, which takes place in Oklahoma and Texas, presents various strong images, from a baby boy in a field of sunflowers to a dead body on the road. And to add to the drama, Coyne is found running. At first, we’re not sure where to or from. But towards the end, the police finally catch up to him, put him in cuffs and take him away. “God and the Policeman” also features the vocals of Kacey Musgraves. And while she doesn’t appear in the video, her vocals are strongly felt. The Flaming Lips have previously released “My Religion is You,” “Will You Return/When You Come Down,” “Dinosaurs on the Mountain” and “You N’ Me Sellin.” Ahea...
NFL’s Josh Bellamy Arrested For Misusing PPP Loan Funds On Gucci, Dior & More
Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Really, dude? NFL wide receiver Josh Bellamy has been arrested for misusing COVID loans intended for those in dire straits on luxury goods and casinos. This guy… TMZ reports that. Bellamy was arrested on Thursday, September 10. Too add salt to the struggle, he was just cut by the Jets two days ago. 31-year-old Bellamy — who was cut by the NY Jets just 2 days ago — is essentially accused of participating in a scheme in which people applied for more than $24 MILLION in PPP loans, intended for business owners to help stay afloat during the pandemic. But, prosecutors say neither Bellamy nor his co-conspirators put the money toward their businesses — instead, Bellamy blew a fortune on things like custom jewelry, designer clothes and casino trips. Reportedly, Bell...

Jonah Ray: To All the Bands I’ve Had Before….
I started playing drums in the fourth grade. All I wanted to be at the time was the drummer for Metallica. Just to be clear, I didn’t want to be Lars. I just had this fantasy leading up to my first-ever Metallica concert that Lars [Ulrich] would somehow see me on the upper lodge of the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu and go “YOU!” Everybody would stop down. James [Hetfield] would shield his eyes from the stage lights to see who Lars was pointing at. Kirk [Hammett] would smile knowingly, because he too must’ve seen me and just “knew maaaaan.” The whole crowd would turn up to see me, the 11-year-old kid flanked by his brother and older cousin Kalani (our chaperone for the night). The 11-year-old boy sitting directly behind the bored Japanese businessmen who hadn’t headbanged ONCE during the show...

Rex singer Marc Bolan, saying in an article in Variety,“ That’s his scream I’m letting flow through me [in ‘Jeepster’], but it’s also intrinsic to what I do. I don’t even think about it – it’s part of me. Marc Bolan had a ma...
