TED NUGENT Says KID ROCK Is An ‘Unbelievably Creative’ Critical Thinker With A ‘Great Work Ethic’
In a new interview with retired boxer David “Niño” Rodriguez, Ted Nugent was asked why he hasn’t yet collaborated on music with fellow outspoken conservative rocker Kid Rock. Ted responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Kid Rock and I communicate. In fact, he plays [the Nugent song] ‘Cat Scratch Fever’ [in concert] every night. “Here’s a great statement. Panama City, Florida, I think, is making a very profound statement because they hired me to headline the beach bash in Panama City on Friday, April 29th, and the next night they hired Kid Rock to headline the beach bash in Panama City on Saturday, April 30th,” he continued. “If they’re hiring Ted Nugent and Kid Rock, what do you think they might try to convey with th...

SXSW Review: WeCrashed Is Too Long, But Nails the Daffy Rhythms of the WeWork Scandal
The Pitch: How far can a startup run on vibes alone? Turns out, it’s however far $47 billion gets you, at least in the smoke-and-mirrors valuations of VC culture. After all, that’s the magic number WeWork CEO Adam Neumann (Jared Leto) and his kooky wife/chief branding officer Rebekah Neumann (nee Paltrow; yes, she’s Gwyneth’s cousin, played by Anne Hathaway) used to fool Wall Street for nearly a decade into thinking they were the next great world-changing startup. But within a year’s time, WeWork’s value plummeted, the Neumanns left in disgrace — though not without a $2 billion golden parachute — and the buzziest company in America became a punchline. What led to such a precipitous fall? That’s the question WeCrashed, Apple TV+’s latest push for the startup-grifter boom (after Netflix...
Sex and Explosions Ignite The Boys Season 3 Teaser Trailer: Watch
Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys adds some edgy flair to the good versus evil core of superhero stories, and Season 3 of the satire is set to lean into this craziness. Check out the first teaser trailer for the upcoming season below. Set to a new song by Imagine Dragons called “Bones,” the first look at The Boys Season 3 puts action over words. Without a hint of dialogue, we see The Boys and The Seven engage in a lot of sex, a lot of explosions, and a lot of … barfing? Despite all the chaos between the vigilantes and Vought International, however, it all comes down to Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher and his enemy, Antony Starr’s Homelander, who flashes that unnerving grin. For those who need a refresher, Season 2 of The Boys ended with the defeat of neo-Nazi superhero Stormfron...

DEF LEPPARD’s RICK ALLEN: ‘Without CHARLIE WATTS, THE ROLLING STONES Wouldn’t Have Sounded The Way That They Did’
In a new interview with the “Murray Adventures” podcast and “The MGM Morning Show With Matt Murray” on 103.7 WMGM Rocks in Atlantic City, DEF LEPPARD drummer Rick Allen spoke about his “Legends” art series, which consists of lifelike-yet-impressionistic portraits of musicians who have influenced him, from Jimi Hendrix to Freddie Mercury to John Lennon to Charlie Watts and Eddie Van Halen. Regarding how he decides which artists to paint, Rick said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “These are all musicians, singers, songwriters that have inspired me over the years. The last one that I did, I mean, to me, it was pretty obvious — Charlie Watts. If it wasn’t for Charlie Watts, I wouldn’t be on the phone with you now. I think it’s t...
