COREY TAYLOR No Longer Has The Passwords To His Social Media Accounts
In a new interview with Sara of the Philadelphia radio station 93.3 WMMR, SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor spoke about his decision to remove himself from social media. He said (see video below): “[I stopped posting] I think just about coming up on a year. My last post was actually a zoomed-in shot of the ‘live long and prosper’ emoji — that was the last thing I posted on my own. It might have been September of last year — right around the time I stopped eating meat too.” Asked if he has been tempted to jump back on social media since 2020 hasn’t really offered us an opportunity to interact in real life due to the coronavirus pandemic, Taylor said: “No. If anything, it’s reinforced me staying off of it. Honestly, I don’t even hav...
GENE SIMMONS Calls It ‘Justice’ After Oregon Hunter Is Gored By Elk He Shot With A Bow
KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons called it “justice” that a bowhunter in Oregon was killed when an elk he had wounded charged at him and gored him in the neck with its antlers. A 66-year-old man shot the elk Saturday while archery hunting on private property just outside Tillamook but was unable to locate the animal. When he returned the next morning, he found the wounded elk and attempted to kill it with his bow, but the animal charged and impaled him in the neck, killing him instantly, according to police. Earlier today (Tuesday, September 3), Gene shared an article about the incident and he included the following caption: “JUSTICE!!!…Elk Gores Oregon Hunter To Death, Day After He Shot It With Arrow” After one of Gene‘s followers reacted with, “...

Six Members of Nine Inch Nails Added to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction
When Nine Inch Nails were revealed as one of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2020 inductees, only Trent Reznor was to receive the honor. Now, a couple months prior to the ceremony, six additional members of NIN have been added to the list of inductees. While Reznor has been the band’s mastermind and lone constant member of the groundbreaking industrial group since its inception, there have been valuable players throughout the years. Perhaps with a nudge from Reznor himself, Atticus Ross, Robin Finck, Chris Vrenna, Danny Lohner, Ilan Rubin, and Alessandro Cortini have joined the list of NIN inductees. As Cleveland.com reports, an annual inductee exhibit that recently opened at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame museum revealed the new names under Nine Inch Nails’ bio. Those inductees have ...
McDonald’s Says Fuck It, Renames Quarter Pounder Meal for Travis Scott
By its own admission, McDonald’s has been struggling to reach consumers 34 and younger. Rather than engaging with issues that young people care about — nutrition and environmental sustainability come to mind — the Golden Arches have instead tried the “How do you do, fellow kids?” approach, and partnered with Travis Scott to offer the same shit that was already on the menu. The last time that Ronald and friends linked up with a celebrity sponsor was thirty years ago with Michael Jordan. That endorsement-free era has ended, as McDonald’s announced the Travis Scott Meal in a news release earlier today. It comes with a quarter pounder with cheese (add bacon), plus french fries, barbecue sauce, and a Sprite. Growing up, we called that a #3, but for a limited time it’s the Cactus Jack speci...
Christopher Nolan Releases Tenet Soundtrack: Stream
Tenet officially hits US theaters today after nonstop anticipation from fans and critics alike. So to celebrate his latest film’s release, Christopher Nolan has also dropped the official movie soundtrack today, too. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. As previously reported, Tenet (Official Motion Picture Soundtrack) features the brand new Travis Scott single “The Plan” written exclusively for the film — a first in the rapper’s career, as he’s only ever contributed previously recorded songs to movies — as well as the complete score by Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson. The latter is full of inverted sounds and illusions, a tricky combination that was apparently harder to pull off than it sounds. “I spent a great deal of time taking familiar sounds and manipulating them — bo...
Keith Richards Says He “Can’t Imagine” The Rolling Stones Will Ever Retire
The Rolling Stones were one of, well, all the artists forced to cancel touring plans in 2020 due to the pandemic. Those bummed they had to miss the “No Filter Tour” should take some solace in the knowledge that there will come a coronavirus-free day, and The Stones plan on being there, as Keith Richards has said he “can’t image” they’ll ever retire. Richards made the comments in a new interview with Rolling Stone about the upcoming Goats Head Soup reissue. Touching on how COVID-19 has threatened the touring industry, frontman Mick Jagger expressed concern that “we don’t know” how “everyone that performs live [is] going to function in the future.” Still, Richards intimated The Rolling Stones would find a way to solider on eternally, whatever the situation is. “You might call it a habit,” he...
