THE PRETTY RECKLESS’s TAYLOR MOMSEN On Dealing With Coronavirus Crisis: ‘I Keep Telling Everyone To Turn To Music As A Salvation’
In a new interview with “Whiplash”, the KLOS radio show hosted by Full Metal Jackie, THE PRETTY RECKLESS frontwoman Taylor Momsen was asked how the coronavirus crisis has changed her worldview in terms of the things she wants to express through music. She responded (hear audio below): “That’s a good question. I don’t know. I was so wrapped up in this record, in ‘Death By Rock And Roll’, before all this started, and we just finished the album before the lockdown.

It’s a very scary time, it’s very unprecedented, and I’m sure it’s affected people around the world, literall...
DEE SNIDER On Death Of ‘Hair Metal’ In Early 1990s: ‘It Became Too Commercialized’
TWISTED SISTER singer Dee Snider spoke to Ultimate Guitar about how the rise of grunge in the early 1990s forced most hard rock bands off the radio and MTV, with album and tour sales plummeting. Asked what his thoughts were about NIRVANA and other grunge bands when they emerged, Dee said: “I loved them. When they first came out, it wasn’t even called grunge. And this is the thing about titles — even heavy metal, punk, hair metal, those are not titles chosen by the artists; they’re titles chosen by the writers. And usually as a negative connotation. Usually as a form of a putdown. And the artists that they called grunge, called punk, called heavy metal — they hated it. This is a fact, dude. I’m old. I know this, a fact: if you mentioned grunge to SOUNDGARDEN or PEARL...
