Watch: LACUNA COIL Plays First Show In Front Of An Audience In More Than Two Years
Italian heavy rockers LACUNA COIL played their first show in front of an audience in more than two years last night (Thursday, April 7) as the support act for APOCALYPTICA at the Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia. Fan-filmed video is available below.

That show was released as a live album, “Live From The Apocalypse”, via Century Media.

JOE SATRIANI Recalls Giving Guitar Lessons To METALLICA’s KIRK HAMMETT: ‘He Was Such A Motivated Young Student’
In a new interview with Kylie Olsson‘s YouTube show “Life In Six Strings”, Joe Satriani, who was a guitar teacher before he found fame with his 1987 album “Surfing With The Alien”, spoke about what it was like giving lessons to one of his more famous students, METALLICA‘s Kirk Hammett. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “What a great outcome. [Kirk] was such a motivated young student. I mean, he could play pretty well before I first met him. He was already playing lead guitar in the band EXODUS when he started taking lessons. And then during that time, he got the gig with METALLICA, and he started taking two lessons a week. He was so motivated; he was such a good student. He knew exactly what he wanted and he was really hungry. So, it wa...
Watch Jack White Play Twangy National Anthem for Detroit Tigers’ Opening Day
Detroit native Jack White kicked off the Tigers’ opening-day baseball game against the Chicago White Sox on Friday (April 8), starting the game with a bluesy rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” White chose an unconventional route for his cover of the national anthem — instead of belting out the patriotic lyrics to spectators at Comerica Park, he instead went the instrumental route and put a twangy, Americana spin on the track. Backed by a keyboard player, bassist and drummer, White first strummed the opening chords of the track and was later joined by his band who fleshed out the song and added dramatic flair to his rendition of the track.

The Ledger: For Streamers, Does Catalog Size Matter?
The Ledger is a weekly newsletter about the economics of the music business sent to Billboard Pro subscribers. An abbreviated version of the newsletter is published online. If millions of songs are uploaded to streaming services yearly and no one listens, do they make a sound? Yes and no. Someone — but not many people — listens to most every track. But few tracks could be called popular by any definition. Spotify’s catalog grew from 70 million to 82 million tracks in 2021, according to the company’s last two annual reports. That works out to an average of 33,000 per day. Some of its competitors grew faster and further, according to figures in public reports and press releases. Apple Music shot up from 70 million in January 2021 to 90 million in November 2021. YouTube Music also took a big ...

The Simpsons Casts Its First-Ever Deaf Voice Actor for Episode Featuring ASL
The Simpsons has been on the air for over 30 years, but there are still common forms of storytelling it hasn’t explored. As Variety first reported, the upcoming April 10th episode will be its first to include American Sign Language (ASL), and in casting John Autry II, it will also be the first time the show has used a deaf voice actor. The episode is titled “The Sound of Bleeding Gums,” and it finds Lisa Simpson meeting Monk, the deaf child of the late jazz musician Bleeding Gums Murphy.

The teleplay comes from Loni Stee...
