DAVE MUSTAINE On Upcoming MEGADETH Album: ‘We’re In The Process Of Doing Guitar Solos Right Now’
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine spoke to Q104.3 New York‘s “Out Of The Box With Jonathan Clarke” about the progress of the recording sessions for the band’s follow-up to 2016’s “Dystopia” album. He said (see video below): “We’re in the process of doing guitar solos right now. Kiko Loureiro [guitar] is at the studio with me, and we’re done with all the bass and drums and almost done with all of the rhythms. We’ve still got little punch-ins we need to do here and there, and then it’s off into singing and solo land. And then probably the last thing, which is always my favorite thing, is the ear candy.” Mustaine recently told SiriusXM‘s Jose Mangin that the upcoming MEGADETH album will be “up there with &#...
SULLY ERNA Doesn’t Think GODSMACK Will Play Any Live Shows Before Early 2022
In a brand new interview with “Offstage With DWP”, GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna spoke about how he has been spending his coronavirus downtime. He said: “I haven’t done any [shows] since last November when we ended the ‘When Legends Rise’ record cycle. But for me, life really hasn’t changed much, because in order to write music, you have to kind of isolate for that anyways. You don’t really write music in the middle of a nightclub or with a house full of people — most of the time. You’re just kind of isolating and doing your own thing and working out melodies and lyrics and riffs and whatever. So we were just at that stage anyways, coming off of an album cycle, to have to go in and start writing again. And then COVID hit, and the world h...
Would RON ‘BUMBLEFOOT’ THAL Play With GUNS N’ ROSES Again? He Responds
In a new interview with nine-year-old Jam Man, former GUNS N’ ROSES guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal was asked if he would ever play with the Axl Rose-fronted outfit again. He responded (see video below): “I think that they’ve gone their way, and I’ve gone my way. We had eight wonderful years together. And that’s that.” Pressed about whether he and the other members of GUNS N’ ROSES got along, Thal said: “Like any band, sometimes we did, sometimes we didn’t. When a bunch of dudes are living together for months at a time, traveling from place to place and living such an intense life while you have this whole other life that’s happening back home that needs you, there’s a lot of things that can wear a person down, i...
ROB HALFORD On Music-Streaming Payouts: ‘There Needs To Be A Universal Agreement That Is Fair For Everyone’
In a new interview with Max Alt Rock magazine, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford was asked for his take on modern radio, streaming and the current state of the music industry. He responded: “It’s still the Wild West. “I was approached several months ago to put together a video that was going to be utilized for a presentation to Congress. “It’s always been the same — you get the pie chart, and the artists always get the smallest amount of the pie,” he continued. “I’ve never understood that, because without us, you wouldn’t have an industry. All we’re asking for is fairness, but ever since the Internet took off, there has not been the proper guidance or legislation. There needs to be a universal agreement that is fair for everyone, an...

Just a couple weeks after its premiere, Drew Barrymore’s new talk show has already earned some major metal cred. Trivium frontman Matt Heafy recently made an appearance on the daytime television program to gift a Gibson guitar to a hero UPS driver. On a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress spotlighted a UPS driver named Hector as part of her “Drew Gooders” segment.

As the parents of four-year-old Langston explained, the youngster has been lonely and cooped up inside during the COVID-19 pandemic, and gets excited anytime a delivery person comes by. One day Langston asked Hector if he had a package for him, but Hector had to tell him he didn’t have anything. Cut to the next day, when Hector cam...
Nothing Unleash Bloody Music Video for New Song “Bernie Sanders”: Stream
Democratic nominee Joe Biden might be taking on Donald Trump in the presidential election, but Philadelphia shoegazers Nothing are still reminiscing about Senator Bernie Sanders. They’ve gone so far as to name a track after the progressive politician and release it as the new single from their upcoming album, The Great Dismal, out October 30th. Seeing Sanders’ name might bring a pang of melancholy to those who supported his presidential campaigns, which is probably what Nothing were going for. The song, like much of the band’s music, carries an unrequited sadness that’s become a staple of Nothing’s take on atmospheric heavy music. A driving drum beat and grungy chords push the track along as director Jordan Hemingway’s video provides some disturbing and gory visuals (discretion advised). “...
Adult Swim Pulls The Boondocks, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Episodes over “Cultural Sensitivities”
Several episodes of the Adult Swim series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Boondocks, and The Shivering Truth have been “permanently retired due to cultural sensitivities,” The Daily Beast has learned. The Adult Swim archives are part of the massive library offered by new streaming service HBO Max. But certain controversial episodes didn’t migrate over. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is missing the Season 6 shocker “Shake Like Me”, in which Shake is bitten by a radioactive Black person, the experience of which changes his appearance and behavior to be more stereotypically Black. ATHF also arrived without the incomplete Season 5 episode “Boston”, which is a parody of a real-life bomb scare caused by the guerrilla marketing campaign for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film...
