Alice In Chains’ Jerry Cantrell on Metallica’s James Hetfield: ‘He’s the Godfather’
Today James Hetfield turns 57 and Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains paid tribute to the Metallica frontman, heaping praise on someone he calls “the Godfather.” “What makes James such a great frontman is his physical presence,” he told Metal Hammer magazine. “Nobody else commands the same kind of respect and attention without it being self-seeking or egocentric. He’s all about the music; all about the fun and the celebration and the connection with the fans. And that, to me, is really inspiring. Especially because he’s done this for so long, and he’s been at the top of his game for so long and he continues to search for a deeper meaning. He took an underground thing and took it worldwide.” Cantrell pointed out that Metallica was “a...

DEEP PURPLE’s IAN GILLAN Loves Singing ‘Smoke On The Water’: ‘It’s Like A Congregational Euphoria’
In a new interview with Greg Prato of Songfacts, DEEP PURPLE frontman Ian Gillan was asked what the “few red lights and a few old beds” are that he sings about in the band’s classic song “Smoke On The Water”. He responded: “That’s the hotel we moved into — the Grand Hotel — after the casino burned down during the Frank Zappa concert we were at. And that’s what the song is all about. We ended up at the Grand Hotel, and it was very bright, so we changed the light bulbs. We got some red light bulbs, and we used the bed mattresses as sound baffles. We set the gear up in the hallways and the corridors of the hotel, and THE ROLLING STONES‘ mobile truck was out back with very long cables coming up through the windows. We tried to re-create an ...
