Spotify to Remove Neil Young From Spotify Following Joe Rogan Ultimatum
Following a demand from music artist Neil Young asking Spotify to choose between either him or Joe Rogan, Spotify has confirmed that Young’s music will be withdrawn from the streaming platform. Following a leaked internal letter to his label that read, “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” Young released a lengthy letter on his website explaining why he has chosen to withdraw from the platform. “I realized I could not continue to support Spotify’s life-threatening misinformation to the music living public,” said Young. “Thank you Warner Brothers for standing with me and taking the hit -losing 60% of my worldwide streaming income in the name of Truth.” Young ends his message by encouraging other artists and record companies to move off Spotify in solidarity against COVID-19 misinformati...
Watch Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland Discuss Their ‘Spider-Man’ Bond
Pete Hammond has just joined the three Spider-Man actors — Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland — for an intimate Spider-Man: No Way Home video interview. In the 30-minute interview, all three Spider-Man actors share their personal experiences working on the film, discussing their thoughts on the success of the film, how it was on set with three web-slingers, and the difficulties in keeping their roles a secret. Covering 20 years of Spider-Man, the three generations of the wall-crawling crime-fighter acknowledge the fan service aspect of the film, but also at the same time, recognize just what the film means to the genre on a larger scale — it really was 20 years of history in each frame. Fans of the Marvel superhero can learn what Spider-Man: No Way Home meant to each of them o...
‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Concept Art Reveals Fight Between Mysterio and Dr. Strange
A concept art piece from Andrew Reader has supposedly revealed original plans of a fight between Mysterio and Dr. Strange in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The concept art sees both Dr. Strange and Mysterio flying in the air, their hands at the ready, with New York City’s Statue of Liberty between them. The setting hints that the fight was originally planned for the ending, but many fans are discussing whether this Mysterio is just using his holographic technology and is from a different universe. Mysterio, also known as Quentin Beck, was the main villain in Spider-Man: Far From Home and was portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal. The villain’s final action of revealing Spider-Man’s identity to the world became the main plot of No Way Home, and Peter Parker’s attempts to undo the damage caused by his unma...
The Entire ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Script Is Now Available To Read Online for Free
Spider-Man: No Way Home quickly became one of the most successful films across the U.S. and the world after it shattered pandemic era box office records upon its release in December 2022. Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna led the script which saw J.K. Simmons‘ character J. Jonah Jameson out Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, as Spider-Man. Mysterio, who was the villain in Far From Home, framed Spider-Man as a murderer and Peter, M.J. (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) are all rejected from the prestigious M.I.T. due to their association with Spider-Man. Peter later reaches out to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in hopes he can cast a spell and makes sure that everyone will forget that he is Spider-Man. However, the spell went wrong and attracted other villains from the previous Spider-...
Fat Joe Warns Young Rappers About the “Money Challenge”
Fat Joe has publicly appealed to young rappers to stop participating in the “Money Challenge” — a trend where people spell out phrases or words with cash — out of legal fears. Taking to Instagram Live, the hip-hop veteran first reminded them that Busy Bee actually started the trend back in the ’80s, then continued to caution the new generation of artists about getting themselves caught by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). “Nick Cannon wrote it with paper toilet. It said, ‘The IRS is watching.’ Listen guys, I dare you to look down my Instagram, or anywhere on social media, and see if Fat Joe has ever pulled out a $100 bill,” he said, his voice raising with frustration. “One! Find the one! And then these people, when they get caught…you told on yourself.” Fat Joe continued, “You haven’t ha...
FKA twigs Throws It Back to the ’80s for New “Jealousy” Visuals
FKA twigs has unveiled the new visuals for her track “Jealous” feat. Rema. The song is featured in the artist’s current Caprisongs mixtape which was released earlier this month on January 14.

Kygo to Headline Sports Illustrated Super Bowl Party In Los Angeles

BRUCE DICKINSON Admits He Gets Nervous Before IRON MAIDEN Concerts: ‘I Keep A Copy Of The Lyric Sheet Backstage’
During an appearance on a recent episode of the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, hosted by FOZZY frontman and wrestling superstar Chris Jericho, IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson admitted that he still suffers performance anxiety, or “stage fright” as it is more commonly known. “I get nervous right before I go on stage with IRON MAIDEN, especially at the beginning of a tour,” he said. “Once you’re sort of, like, five or six, seven shows into the tour, you’re kind of back into the routine. So you kind of know what’s gonna happen. But the big fear, especially for a singer, is that you walk on stage and open your mouth and garbage comes out, or nothing at all. And that’s irrational, but it’s valid. So just own up to it. I mean...

What Makes A Perfect SEPULTURA Show? ANDREAS KISSER Responds
In a new interview with Montreal Rocks, guitarist Andreas Kisser was asked what makes a “perfect SEPULTURA show.” He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “It depends. There are so many variables during a day. I think the perfect show is when you really put everything out of the normal life or the normal day and you put yourself, during an hour and a half, in a different world and you really go to the stage and you go to a different place — you act different and you feel different. Every artist will tell you that. If you see somebody on stage, off stage is very different characteristics and atmosphere. So, once we are able to do that, that’s great — that we’re gonna enjoy ourselves and really sing the lyrics with our fans and lights and all the stuff...
KITTIE Announces Band Lineup For Reunion Shows
Canadian all-girl metallers KITTIE have confirmed the lineup of the band that will perform at Las Vegas’s When We Were Young festival this fall. Joining vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander and drummer Mercedes Lander will be guitarist Tara McLeod and bassist Ivana “Ivy” Vujic. A member of KITTIE singer 2005, McLeod told Premier Guitar about her role in the band: “On the creative side of things, Morgan and I are very comfortable with each other because we’re both naturally very shy. We just don’t feel any sort of embarrassment showing each other an idea. And that makes for a much more relaxed writing session.” Morgan stated about Tara: “Tara is such a fabulous guitar player and is so invested in her instrument, and she also likes all different ge...
