METALLICA’s KIRK HAMMETT Was ‘Pretty Shocked’ To Get Rest Of Band’s ‘Blessings’ To Release Solo EP
METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett says that he was “pretty shocked” that he got the “blessings” from all of his bandmates to release his debut solo EP, “Portals”, especially considering that METALLICA‘s former bassist Jason Newsted famously left the group more than two decades ago over the way his then-side project ECHOBRAIN was handled. “It was amazing because our band has not had a lot of great progress with band members going solo, as everyone knows,” Hammett told Rolling Stone in a new interview. “But all that went down almost 20 years ago, and we’re such different people now. We’re all just older, wiser, and more mature. Well, I don’t know if we’re wiser, but we’re definitely older, and a little b...
Code Orange Were Born to Be Coachella Misfits
For a few minutes as Code Orange’s gear was being set up for a daytime gig on Coachella’s opening weekend, things were looking grim. The festival’s club-like Sonora tent was mostly empty, with scattered fans up front and rows of couches along the walls filled with reclining festival-goers recovering from the desert heat. It wasn’t an ideal scenario for one of the band’s usual wild, enraged performances. When the six players finally stepped onto the stage (to the ethereal, cerebral sounds of Bjork’s “Hunter”), they looked like they were ready for a fight. Dressed as commandos and garage-rockers, Code Orange quickly erupted with the single “Out for Blood,” all crushing riffs and industrial-strength rage. Singer Jami Morgan, sporting a motorcycle jacket and black shorts with the sides of his ...

Travis Scott Resurfaces on Southside and Future Collab “Hold That Heat”: Stream
Save for owners of Kanye West’s Stem Player, fans haven’t heard new music from Travis Scott since the November 2021 tragedy at Astroworld. Today, the Houston rapper has resurfaced on “Hold That Heat,” a collab between Future and 808 Mafia producer Southside. Over one of Southside’s signature woozy trap beats, Travis celebrates being one of the most successful rappers in the game with lyrics like, “One of the top of the barrel/ Number one, get all the zeros.” A clip of “Hold That Heat” leaked online last summer, so it’s likely that Travis added in his lines about spending “six months down out in Cabo” recently. Collaborators like Wheezy have spoken about traveling there to work with him for a while now. Future closes out the track with the hedonist rhymes fans have come to expect: “I got a ...
