Louis C.K. Was a ‘Surprise Guest’ at Dave Chappelle’s Latest Socially Distanced Show
Dave Chappelle has been spending the summer performing small, socially distanced gigs near his hometown of Dayton, OH as part of a series called Dave Chappelle & Friends: An Intimate Socially Distanced Affair. The shows spawned a new Netflix special called 8:46, and have seen a list of A-list artists come out of quarantine to share a stage with the comedian. Erykah Badu, Common, Michael Che, Tiffany Haddish, DJ Trauma, Michelle Wolf, Donnell Rawlings, Talib Kweli, Cipha Sounds, Questlove, Jon Hamm, Mo Amer, and Issa Ali all showed up for Chappelle’s 4th of July celebration, and earlier this week he had another big (albeit tarnished) name as the “special guest” of his latest gig: Louis C.K. Photographer Matthieu Bitton shared a photo on Instagram of Chappelle, C.K, Wol...

GG Magree Slays New Melodic Dubstep Track “Nervous Habits”
The track, featuring “In Her Own Words” vocalist Joey Fleming, was released July 31st via Dim Mak.

From the song’s raw, sensitive lyrics (“I get a feeling that you’re hiding from me / I’m trying to stand but I’m numb once again”) to its understated melodic dubstep drop and balanced blend of edge and vulnerability, the sing...

Is METALLICA Teasing ‘The Howard Stern Show’ Appearance?
METALLICA is rumored to be preparing for an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show”. Speculation about the heavy metal giants’ return performance on the long-running talk show airing on SiriusXM satellite radio gained strength after METALLICA posted a couple of rehearsal videos from its headquarters in San Rafael, California and followed it up with a couple of not-so-subtle clues. “There are a lot of Stern looks around HQ today,” METALLICA wrote in a social media post on Friday (August 7). “We’re taking rehearsals very Siriusly.” METALLICA last performed on “The Howard Stern Show” in September 2016, two months before the arrival of the band’s latest album, “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct”. In early May, the four member...
Ex-KIK TRACEE Singer STEPHEN SHAREAUX Looks Back On His 1992 MÖTLEY CRÜE Audition
In a new interview with the “80’s Glam Metalcast”, former KIK TRACEE vocalist Stephen Shareaux recalled his experience auditioning for the singer position in MÖTLEY CRÜE following the departure of original frontman Vince Neil in 1992. He said (hear audio below): “I have a 28-year-old son. I just recently became a grandfather; I have a beautiful baby granddaughter. But when my son was a little older than her — about three or four — one of his best friends, and his mom’s best friends, was Nikki Sixx‘s son Gunner. And so Jagger and Gunner were hanging out a lot, because my ex and [Sixx‘s ex-wife] Brandi Brandt were very good friends, and I was spending a lot of time at Nikki‘s house and at birthday parties and just whatever. We were just kind of...
