During an appearance on Monday’s (April 11) episode of SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, John 5 reflected on the infamous 2003 video (see below) of the former MARILYN MANSON guitarist throwing down his guitar on stage and pushing the shock rocker after he kicks John 5 in the chest during a live performance of “The Beautiful People” at the Rock Am Ring festival in Germany. “What happened was my sister passed away, my sister died unexpectedly,” John 5 explained (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “And I was shocked. I was in Europe and I was coming down the stairs, off a stage after a concert, and they told me my sister died. And I was in a state of shock; you just go into a state of shock.

Gene Simmons spoke to ET‘s Kevin Frazier about KISS‘s “End Of The Road” farewell tour, which launched in 2019 and is scheduled to end sometime in 2023, 50 years after the band’s formation. “We start playing the outdoor stadiums of South America, literally within two weeks, and continue on to Europe and Australia and eventually North America, Japan, all that stuff. Mexico,” Simmons said. “And this is going to be the last tour.

New SKID ROW singer Erik Grönwall spoke to Liz Berg of Smarts & Entertainment about what it’s been like for him to join his favorite band and immediately start working on a new album, along with beginning to prepare for SKID ROW‘s current Las Vegas residency as the support act for the SCORPIONS. “It’s insane,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “Surreal, definitely.

SEGA’s “Super Game” Initiative Will Involve Several AAA Titles
Back in November last year, SEGA announced a new “Super Game” initiative that it was working on with Microsoft with the help of the latter’s Azure cloud platform, and now the gaming developer has finally clarified more about what exactly that initiative involves. Speaking in a recent interview on SEGA‘s very own Japanese recruitment page, the company’s executive VP Shuji Utsumi revealed that the initiative actually involved “several titles” that they’re working on, and while specific details remain scarce, he assured that the games would all be blockbusters going “beyond” conventional games. On top of these AAA titles, producer Masayoshi Kikuchi also said during the interview that SEGA would be expanding into “cloud gaming and NFTs.” There’s not a lot more on the Super Game for now from th...
SteelSeries Adds Three New Mice to Its Award-Winning Aerox Line
SteelSeries is now introducing three new models to its award-winning Aerox line, a family of gaming mice designed to reduce weight without cutting on performance. On the multi-genre side, the company has launched the new Aerox 5, available in both a wired or wireless configuration. The former weighs in at just 66 grams while the latter is at a slightly higher 74g to account for its battery, which boasts a run time of up to 180 hours.

Of course, you’ll also get the company’s usual PrismSync Lighting with three RGB zones, an...
Xbox Series X Reportedly Developing More Efficient Chips to Lower Cost
Microsoft is reportedly working on redesigning its chips in the Xbox Series X to be cooler and more efficient. The new rumor comes from Xbox insider and journalist Brad Sams, who claims that the gaming giant is currently reworking its designs in order to make them more cost-effective to produce. Despite being cheaper, they won’t be seeing any reduction in performance either. “I believe this is true… I know that Microsoft was working on revisions of the chip,” Sams said in a recent interview. “Now, are we going to see performance improvements, are we going to see anything else? I do not believe so but Microsoft is always working on making cooler, more efficient chips because that lowers the cost of production.” Of course, Microsoft hasn’t announced anything official itself, and it has yet t...
Snoop Dogg Hints at Possible Collab Between Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records
Snoop Dogg has even bigger plans for Death Row Records, and one of them involves its East Coast rival, Bad Boy Records. In an upcoming Drink Champs episode, the new owner of Death Row shared that it’s time for the two labels — which led the bitter hip-hop rivalry between the East and West Coast in the ’90s — to reconcile on positive terms.“We can show growth and progression that we can move forward, and we can take this Bad Boy—Death Row what it used to be and make it a collaboration on peace and love,” Snoop said. “‘Cause that’s who I am. I’m Suge and Puffy.” He also took this opportunity to shut down those who are opposed to the positive collaboration, “Shut the f*ck up and stop being brainwashed. I love Puff. I love his kids now n***a, what’s happening? I own Death Row so I do what the ...

Hitting the streamer on May 27 in the United States, the trailer sets up the arrival of a new monster from the Upside Down.
