BRUCE DICKINSON Hopes People Laugh A Lot During His Spoken-Word Shows
IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson discussed his current spoken-word tour in a new interview with Sara of the Philadelphia radio station 93.3 WMMR. Asked what fans can expect to see at each show, Bruce said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, I’m hoping that people go away from the show having laughed a lot and maybe having learned a little and mainly feeling, ‘That was really worth three hours of my life, to go and have that experience and share some stories.’ “I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy, so I try to get that across,” he continued. “[The show] is rude — it’s not for the faint hearted. We get some kids coming in, and I’m, like, ‘Does you mum know that you’re actually at this show? We’re gonna be s...

While promoting his critically acclaimed Las Vegas Strip residency “Sammy Hagar & Friends”, Sammy Hagar spoke to Fox5 KVVU-TV about the inspiration for his classic song “I Can’t Drive 55”. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Listen, it’s stood the test of time. It’s been around long enough where it came back around to have a whole new meaning — like all great songs do. [Laughs] “Originally it was a protest song about that I didn’t wanna go — when they lowered the speed limit — and now it’s a protest song that I can’t get where I’m going; I’m always late,” he explained. “I Can’t Drive 55” was the lead single and first track from Hagar‘s eighth studio album, “...

Sparks Kick Off North American Tour at Walt Disney Concert Hall: Recap + Photos
As Edgar Wright’s exhilarating documentary The Sparks Brothers illustrated so well, Ron and Russell Mael, aka Sparks, are “your favorite band’s favorite band” for good reason. The duo have been making delightfully dramatic, experimental yet accessible art rock for over 50 years. Whether they were prancing on Top of The Pops in the ‘70s or blasting from transistor radios on KROQ 106.7 FM in the ‘80s, they never really “fit in” with what was popular at the time. But last night (February 7th) at Los Angeles’s Walt Disney Concert Hall, illuminated by an array of multi-hued stage lights and backed by a solid five-piece band, they were a splendid fit. The Hall is home to the LA Philharmonic, and its grand aesthetic and layout (inside and out), not to mention its unmatched acoustics, make seeing ...

A few days later, guitarist Brian Bell told Consequence and Kyle Meredith With… that another record would be a “Weezer-inspired Weezer album.” Bell explained, “We sometimes refer to ‘Island in the...
World’s Worst Rapper Arrested in $4.5 Billion Crypto Crime
Heather Morgan, who has released some of history’s most jaw-droppingly bad rap music under the name Razzlekhan, was arrested on Tuesday alongside her husband Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein for stealing $4.5 billion in cryptocurrency. According to the federal criminal complaint, accounts linked to Lichtenstein allegedly hacked into a virtual currency exchange in 2016, initiating over 2,000 unauthorized transactions and making off with 119,754 in Bitcoin. Later, Razzlekhan and Lichtenstein purportedly laundered the funds through a series of crypto wallets. At the time of the theft it would have been worth about $71 million, but due to BTC’s soaring valuation, it could net them about $4.5 billion today. It’s unclear when the pair began dating, but they got engaged in 2019 and married last yea...
Steve Albini Suggests Juggalos Are Better People Than Deadheads
Here’s a new one for your Steve Albini hot take bingo card: The famously opinionated Chicago producer has come to the defense of Juggalos, even going so far as suggesting that Insane Clown Posse’s fans are better people than Deadheads. “Yes, I’m saying the Juggalos are good,” Albini tweeted on February 7th. “A non-judgmental, inclusive community for people on the fringe, built on a beautiful communion they call ‘family.’ They remind me of punk/queer chosen families and I love them. I haven’t heard much of the music, it’s atrocious. Who cares.” Albini’s take on the fans of the Insane Clown Posse arrived after screenshots of a 2020 Violent J interview with Stereogum went viral. In the interview, the rapper owned up to past instances of homophobia in the duo’s music, calling himself a “fool” ...
