Metallica to Stream 2019 Rain-Soaked Show From Manchester
For the latest show in their ongoing streaming series, Metallica turned the clock way back to…2019. The band’s show at Manchester City’s (the football club) Ethiad Stadium was typical for the locale, especially for mid-June: a rain-drenched affair. But that didn’t stop the band though, running through a fierce 18-song set from the Hardwired tour. The set featured a bunch of fairly rare songs, like “The Memory Remains,” “The God That Failed” and “St. Anger.” In recent weeks, Metallica streamed a show from Salt Lake City from the Load tour and a 2014 “by request” Peru show, where the group played everything and anything the audience wanted to hear. Before that, they shared a Kill ‘Em All era show at Chicago’s Metro, a 20th anniversary Black Album show from Austria, and a 1991 show ...

Juicy J Speaks Out on Systemic Racism, Reparations and More in ‘Hella Fuckin’ Trauma’
Juicy J shared his feelings about what’s currently going on today with his new track, “Hella Fuckin’ Trauma.” The track takes on a whole laundry list of things from systemic racism to reparations to COVID-19. “Crisis actors right before my eyes, I know they tellin’ lies / Martial law, fuck you thought, ‘less the police in disguise / I don’t need no reparations, bitch just give me back what’s mine / You know I keep the peace but the piece is a nine,” he delivers on the track. He even made comments about the ownership of his song masters and rapped, “Why they lock up all the real ones, man?

Living Colour Shares New Version of ‘This Is the Life’ With Protest Footage
Rock legends Living Colour dropped their sophomore effort Times Up nearly 30 years ago, but an updated video for one of their songs from it makes the collection feel just as relevant today. Over the weekend, the group released a live video for their 1990 track “This Is The Life,” pairing it with recent footage of Black Lives Matter protests. As the group wrote on Twitter: “Sadly we’re still fighting the same fight.” The song, in which Living Colour sings of another life where you “never have to cry” and where your “loved-ones never die,” includes lyrics that stand the test of time amid recent police brutality protests. “If you don’t like the current agenda, it’s your responsibility to go out an [sic] VOTE,” the band said. Check out the group’s latest video below. [embedded content] Yo...
Neil Young on BLM Protests: ‘My Black Brothers and Sisters Have Suffered Long Enough’
In a new opinion piece on his website, Neil Young says he thinks the U.S. will be a “better country” after protesters have left their mark and when President Trump is done “fanning the flames.” The singer-songwriter, throughout the lengthy essay published on his website, writes of his support for the recent Black Lives Matter protests across the country and his expectations for the 2020 presidential race — including his hopes for Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s vice presidential candidate selection. “As an old white guy, I don’t feel threatened by my black brothers,” Young writes. “I welcome him and his sisters. We have to deal with our white insecurities. I don’t feel any of those insecurities myself, (I have my own in other places). I will stand with my black brother. I want a better wo...

Melvin Benn, the managing director at Live Nation‘s Festival Republic, has unveiled his “Full Capacity Plan” with regards to reopening the entertainment and hospitality industries in the UK, which he recently discussed on BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat.
