JUDAS PRIEST’s ROB HALFORD On Coronavirus Pandemic: ‘It Feels Like It’s Been Going On For Years’
JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford recently took part in a SiriusXM Volume virtual town hall with host Mark Goodman. During the chat, Halford discussed bands holding virtual concerts amid the coronavirus pandemic and how they compare to actual live shows. He said (see video below): “It just shows you the strength and power of music that we’ll go to extraordinary lengths to make a connection. And I love this virtual thing, but it is virtual. I love it when I see [you] in person, and you’re sitting across the mic and I’m sitting… It’s a real tangible experience, isn’t it? And that’s the way music is intended to be experienced from a live performance aspect of it. “Look, I love to watch bands on my laptop and watch bands on the television or whatev...
New AC/DC Single ‘Shot In The Dark’ Featured In DODGE Commercial
AC/DC‘s new song “Shot In The Dark”, the first track the band has released in six years, is featured in the Dodge brand’s 60-second “Family Motto” video. The spot, which celebrates the brand’s historic, recent, first-place finishes in both the J.D. Power APEAL Study (mass market) and J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS), stars Gary Cole reprising his role as Reese Bobby and the iconic line, “if you ain’t first, you’re last,” from the 2006 Sony Pictures film “Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby” (which featured AC/DC‘s song “T.N.T.”). The spot opens circa 1981 in Talladega County with Reese Bobby, in a new 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, on a walkie talkie imploring his young son Ricky ...
EVANESCENCE’s AMY LEE: ‘There’s So Much Happening In Our World That Feels Frustrating’
In a new interview with the FM99 WNOR radio station, EVENASCENCE singer Amy Lee talked about the inspiration for the band’s long-awaited new album, “The Bitter Truth”, which will arrive in the coming months. “It’s a lot,” she said (see video below). “We had a lot of time and experience to pool from to put towards this. “I’m in a place right where meaning is at the forefront for me — more than a sound, more than a sonic space or energy,” she explained. “It’s coming from putting the meanings and the lyrics kind of in the front of my mind as a big part of the driving force for my need for music right now. Maybe that doesn’t sound like a big difference, but… “As a musician, it’s fun to just jam — create m...
JAMES MICHAEL: ‘There’s Some Incredible New SIXX:A.M. Music That’s Waiting In The Wings’
James Michael spoke to Andy Hall of the Des Moines, Iowa radio station Lazer 103.3 about the possibility of new music from SIXX:A.M., which consists of James, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist DJ Ashba. SIXX:A.M.‘s latest release was a reworked version of its song “Maybe It’s Time”, which came out in August as part of the Artists For Recovery project. “We’ve been talking a lot,” James said (hear audio below). “Nikki and I spent a lot of time talking — not just about music, but just about life in general. But we have had a lot of conversations recently about writing. “Actually, when we got off the road in, I think, 2017, we went right into the studio and recorded a few more songs,” he revealed. “So there’s so...

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz After a lengthy hiatus from the rap game he once reigned on, Nas returned with a banger in his kilo of an LP, King’s Disease and today we get some new visuals for one of the album’s standout cuts. Linking up with Fivio Foreign and A$AP Ferg for his video to “Spicy,” the Queensbridge King brings back the “QB” piece that made “ni**as tuck they sh*t in” more than a decade ago while Ferg sports a blue wig piece because, well, we’re not sure. To each his own. And after having a rollercoaster of a summer Megan Thee Stallion looks to get her life back on track and comes through with another booty popping visual in “Don’t Stop” which features a bunch of twerking, wigs, and Young Thug getting his Edward Scissorhands on. We bet a bunch of millennials aren’t go...
The Witches Heading to HBO Max Before Halloween
Robert Zemeckis’ re-imagining of Roald Dahl’s The Witches is heading to HBO Max. The potential Warner Bros. blockbuster was originally slated for theatrical release on October 9th, but will now bow on the streaming service on October 22nd. “The Witches is a wonderful reimagining of Roald Dahl’s timeless tale that combines world-class filmmaking with fantastic performances. It’s fun for the whole family and ideal for this time of year,” said Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group. “This film, with its stellar cast, is outstanding,” said Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer for HBO and HBO Max. “We are thrilled to be able to use our platform to deliver timely, relevant and engaging new content during this time when the theatrical experience is not available to everyone.” The...
DaBaby Joins Dua Lipa on New Version of “Levitating”: Stream
Back in August, Dua Lipa teamed with Madonna and Missy Elliott for a remix of her Future Nostalgia track “Levitating”. Now she’s back with another new version of the song, this one featuring rapper DaBaby. Unlike the Madge and Missy take, which vastly altered the song’s sound for the Club Future Nostalgia remix album, this rendition of “Levitating” isn’t really a remix. The electro-disco vibes, equal parts bubbly and sexy, are very much intact. The only real difference is the appearance of DaBaby, who drops in for a verse in which he raps, “I had to lace my shoes for all the blessings I was chasin’/ If I ever slip, I’ll fall into a better situation/ So catch up, go put some cheese on it/ Get out and get your bread up.” The Charlotte MC also appears in the single’s music video, which was ma...
BTS Perform “Mikrokosmos” for BTS ARMY as Tonight Show Takeover Marches On: Watch
On the fourth night of their Tonight Show takeover, BTS sweetly paid tribute to their loyal fans in BTS ARMY. The K-pop megastars returned to Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, South Korea to deliver “Mikrokosmos”, from Map of the Soul: Persona. The song is often the last one on the group’s live setlists, and BTS performed it as though they were closing out a concert. Each member waved their arms from side to side, while others screamed out “Love you” into the imaginary BTS Army crowd. At the very end, glowing lights above the palace came together to form the BTS ARMY logo. Elsewhere on Thursday’s episode, the Bangtan Boys played a game of Zoom Olympics with host Jimmy Fallon. One of the “events” involved popping their heads in and out from the screen like a Groundhog, while another ...
John Boyega Walks the Thin Blue Line in the Astounding Red, White and Blue: NYFF Review
This review is part of our coverage of the 2020 New York Film Festival. The Pitch: Continuing his probing look at the lives of the West Indian immigrant communities of 1960s-1980s London, Steve McQueen concludes his Small Axe anthology with the real-life tale of Leroy Logan (John Boyega), who’d eventually become one of the Metropolitan Police’s most decorated superintendants. Before he got there, though, he was a young research scientist who decides to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a police officer — much to the chagrin of his father Kenneth (Steve Toussaint), a proud Jamaican who’s experienced the racism and brutality of the British bobbies firsthand. As a young recruit, Leroy excels; he’s top of his class, physically fit, and immensely principled. But the minute he str...

Mariah Carey Reminisces About the Gift From Cyndi Lauper That Got Her Writing ‘Music Box’
Cyndi Lauper had Mariah Carey looking back on a fond memory from the early ’90s this weekend. Carey, who just released her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, spotted a compliment about the book from Lauper on Twitter — and shared some kind words of her own in response. “I knew her a little after her first record. She is very sweet. I’m reading her book now. I think it’s written very well. Ms #MariahCarey you have love from me,” Lauper tweeted on Saturday (Oct. 3).
