Elon Musk Tried Convincing Kanye West to Run For President in 2024, but It Didn’t Work
Elon Musk tried to talk some sense into Kanye West regarding his presidential bid, but it sounds like his BFF didn’t listen.

During the interview, Musk also revealed he’s known the rapper for “at least 10 years” and checked up on him after his latest Twitter ramblings, which included accusing his wife Kim Kardashian of flying a doctor to Wyo...

SEPULTURA’s ANDREAS KISSER Decries Rise Of Right-Wing Forces In Society And Politics: ‘It Seems That We Are Going Backwards’
This past Thursday (July 23), SEPULTURA guitarist took part in a question-and-answer session with fans at Nuclear Blast‘s “[email protected]“ event on Twitch. Speaking to a Polish fan about how the current global political situation can be used as a source of musical and lyrical inspiration, Kisser said: “The whole world, pretty much, is going through this right-wing type of point of view, whatever you wanna call that, for our society and politics and stuff. In Poland, they are going through the same kind of situation — I guess in the [United] States and here in Brazil as well. It’s really a very sad situation, because it seems that we are going backwards. “There were a lot of gains historically in human rights and the battle against racism and the ...

ICED EARTH’s JON SCHAFFER On COVID-19: ‘It’s Arguable Whether It’s Even As Bad As The Flu In Terms Of The Actual Death Rate’
ICED EARTH leader Jon Schaffer spoke to Brutal Planet Magazine about how the coronavirus pandemic has affected his group’s touring and recording activities. He said (hear audio below): “Our travel is very restricted right now, especially being an international band. We have a Canadian and a British guy in the band, and it’s not gonna be easy. And I think it’s gonna be quite a while before we can get together and do our next thing. It doesn’t make any sense to start planning anything right now, because I believe they are gonna launch the second wave of this and lock everything down again. They certainly will in most states, and as it is right now, Americans can’t even go to Europe. “To me, it’s a ridiculous level of fear mongering,” he c...
