Just days after he was publicly accused by former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach of using pre-recorded vocal tracks during live performances, FOZZY frontman Chris Jericho sang an a cappella version of one of SKID ROW‘s biggest hits. During last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Special”, Jericho‘s weekly live series which airs on his YouTube channel and Facebook page, Chris ended the show by tackling the chorus to “Youth Gone Wild”, SKID ROW‘s first single from the group’s self-titled debut album. Calling it “a tribute to a great band,” Jericho sang the lines “They call us problem child / We spend our lives on trial / We walk an endless mile / We are the youth gone wild / We stand and we won’t fall / We’re...

SCOTT STAPP On CREED Reunion: ‘Anything Is Possible’
Scott Stapp says that “anything is possible” with regard to a possible reunion of CREED. A little over a month ago, CREED updated its Facebook profile with an old photo, igniting rumors of the band’s imminent return. Stapp, who is promoting his latest solo album, “The Space Between The Shadows”, discussed the chances of a CREED comeback during a new interview with “Whiplash”, the KLOS radio show hosted by Full Metal Jackie. Asked if fans can expect any activity from CREED, eight years after the band completed a tour in support of its fourth album, 2009’s “Full Circle”, the singer said (hear audio below): “For the longest time, there’s been nothing but positivity and support for each other with the guys and myself. And ...
Socially-Distanced Nü-Metal Fest Actually Took Place This Weekend
A few weeks ago, the festival formerly known as Herd Immunity announced that it would be taking place July 16-18 in rural Wisconsin. Despite some bands dropping off the bill, the festival featuring Static-X, Saving Abel and ’90s rockers Sponge actually happened. “Things are going GREAT people are being very respectful. Bet all the BS media won’t be writing stories about this. […] NOTICE the social distancing proving that LIVE MUSIC can be done during times like these,” a statement on the fest’s Facebook page read. See some of the photos of the “socially-distanced” fest below. Things appear to have gone alright for now, something Sponge frontman Vin Dombroski said to the Oakland Press. “If we were gonna do anything like this, it felt like the safest bet I’d seen so far. ...
Kanye West Rips Harriet Tubman, Goes on Anti-Abortion Rant at First Presidential Rally
Kanye West is still very good at making jaws drop, for better or worse. At his first presidential campaign rally today in South Carolina, limited to “registered guests only” at North Charleston’s Exquis Event Center, there weren’t enough eyebrows to raise. Speaking sans mic, with “2020” shaved into his head and sporting a bulletproof vest, West bragged about having a 132 IQ (“I went to the hospital because my brain was too big for my skull”) and ripped Harriet Tubman, saying she “didn’t free the slaves, she had them go work for other white people.” He also said that his wife Kim Kardashian brought his daughter North into the world “even when I didn’t want to” in reference to her having an abortion. He also said his mom saved his life before bursting into tears in an anti-abortion rant and ...
Josh Homme on Possible Kyuss Reunion: “The Only Real Way to End It Correctly Now Would Be to Play”
Josh Homme is proud of his influential early ’90s stoner rock band Kyuss, but is sad about the ugly way things ended with his former bandmates. When asked about the possibility of a reunion in a new interview, the Queens of the Stone Age frontman surprisingly said he would consider playing Kyuss shows again in order to rewrite the band’s final chapter. Kyuss formed in the late ’80s in California as teenagers under the name Katzenjammer, changing their name to Sons of Kyuss, and eventually Kyuss. Homme (guitars), John Garcia (lead vocals), and Brant Bjork (drums) were the mainstays of the band, with Chris Cockrell, future QOTSA member Nick Oliveri, and Scott Reeder serving as the band’s different bassists over the years. From 1991 to 1995, Kyuss released four albums, with Alfredo Hernández ...
My Morning Jacket Perform “Spinning My Wheels” on Fallon: Watch
It’s been less than a week since My Morning Jacket dropped their excellent new album, The Waterfall II. On Wednesday night, the band celebrated the record’s release with a quarantine performance of “Spinning My Wheels” on The Tonight Show. Album opener “Spinning My Wheels” is sensual and introspective. It relies on piano and slide guitar flourishes to provide a backdrop of beauty for the ennui of the lyrics. For the first live performance behind the LP, frontman Jim James selected what seems to be a teal peacoat, and he arranged his flowing hair and beard into a lion’s mane around his head. Filming took place with a red curtain directly behind James, and blank walls on either side. This allowed the camera cuts to provide visual interest, without requiring the band to do anything other...
10 Clueless Quotes and GIFs You Totally Use All the Time
Clueless came out in theaters 25 years ago today, but that doesn’t mean you have to be totally buggin’. The rom-com centered around a rich girl from Beverly Hills trying to navigate her life — who helps the new, totally clueless kid on the block fit in — has become a cult classic. And it only gets more and more popular with each new generation of teens. If you’ve seen Clueless, you totally get why, too. I don’t know about you, but I still wish I had Cher’s epic closet — complete with a capable-looking outfit from Fred Segal, of course — and it never gets old watching her hilarious attempts at getting a driver’s license. Oh, and do any of us ever tire of watching a young Paul Rudd (who paved the way for many girls’ crushes on nerdy, alternative guys) poorly dance his way into her heart? On ...
Kanye West Holds First Campaign Presidential Rally in South Carolina
Kanye West held his first presidential campaign rally at Exquis Event Center in North Charleston, South Carolina on Sunday. The event began at 5:00 p.m. ET. Kanye took the stage wearing a bulletproof vest and with his head shaved to say, “2020”. During the early portion of the rally, Kanye invited fans to the stage to speak about the issues that matter to them. In between these remarks, Kanye offered his own personal andecdotes. Notably, he accused social media and prescription drugs of brainwashing culture. Additionally, Kanye boasted about having a 132 IQ and how he went “to the hospital because my brain was too big for my skull.” He also said Harriet Tubman “didn’t free the slaves, she had them go work for other white people.” He explained his stance against Planned Parenthood, at one p...
