MASTODON’s BILL KELLIHER Picks JOHNNY RAMONE As His ‘Rock God’
MASTODON‘s Bill Kelliher was the featured guest on BBC‘s “The Rock Show With Johnnie Walker” during the “Rock God” segment. Bill picked RAMONES guitarist Johnny Ramone and stated about his choice (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “When I was a young kid, all my friends and I used to listen to lots of VAN HALEN and the SCORPIONS and ZZ TOP, and we looked up to all those guitarists, but I could never play that stuff. But when I heard Johnny Ramone, I realized that, ‘Wow, this guy is only playing one chord, a power chord.’ And I soon realized that everybody was doing it wrong; everybody was trying to be Eddie Van Halen whereas I said, ‘I wanna be a songwriter. If Johnny Ramone can write two hundred songs with the same three power...

GUNS N’ ROSES: 30th-Anniversary Deluxe Reissue Of ‘Use Your Illusion’ Due Next Summer
GUNS N’ ROSES is putting together a deluxe reissue of the “Use Your Illusion” albums for a tentative summer 2022 release. Slash shared the news of the set’s arrival during an interview with Biff Bam Pop! editor-in-chief Andy Burns. Speaking about the fact that the “Use Your Illusion” reissue won’t be out to coincide with 30th anniversary of the LPs’ original release, the GUNS guitarist said said: “It got delayed by the pandemic but it is coming out, I think this summer. There’s a bunch of cool live stuff on it — a couple shows. The Ritz [in New York City] from the ’90s, like early ’90s, and a show that we did in Las Vegas back in 1989, I think it was. And it’s actually the show that I met my ex-wife at, so I was ...

Lil Uzi Vert: “My Insurance Tried to Cut Me Off” over Diamond Forehead Piercing
To Lil Uzi Vert’s apparent surprise, having a $24 million diamond implanted in your forehead comes with some drawbacks. In an appearance on the Scuffed podcast, the rapper said that after he got the gaudy piercing, “My insurance tried to cut me off.” Speaking to a roundtable of Twitch streamers, the rapper motioned to his currently sparkle-free forehead, saying, “This is actually the back post of it.” He had once again removed the stone, explaining that, “It was pretty heavy, it was like ripping my forehead, so I had to let it re-heal.” Whether or not he decides to implant it once again, the process has already been draining. “I had to really get all my shit together,” he said. “My insurance tried to cut me off, they were like, ‘This kid’s trying to kill himself.’ ...
Video Surfaces of Tool Drummer Danny Carey’s Arrest
Earlier today, we reported that Danny Carey was arrested on Sunday night (December 12th) for an alleged assault at the Kansas City airport. Now, video of his arrest has surfaced, showing the Tool drummer getting into it with the officers. Unfortunately, the video is not a good look for Carey, who berates the officers and tells the person filming him to “videotape all of this.” The drummer, wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey (and perhaps attending the NFL team’s home game against the Raiders earlier that day), keeps asking one of the officers, “Who did I assault?” and exclaiming, “I just want to get the f**k out of here.” The footage then cuts to two officers pinning him against a glass wall outside the airport, with one officer ordering Carey not to get too close to them. The officers the...
Voivod Detail New Album Synchro Anarchy, Share New Song “Planet Eaters”: Stream
Legendary Canadian metal band Voivod have shared the video for “Planet Eaters,” the lead single from their just-announced 15th studio album, Synchro Anarchy, out February 11th. Voivod have kept up a prolific pace of output across nearly four decades and continue to push their brand of technical progressive thrash to the outer limits of experimentation. “Planet Eaters” picks up where the band left off with the excellent 2018 offering, The Wake. The spacey chord voicing, cosmos-obsessed lyrics, and a decidedly ambitious take on the signature Voivod sound make the track a thrilling way to introduce the new record. Advertisement Related Video As drummer Michel “Away” Langevin stated in a press release, the band felt that “Planet Eaters” had a “vintage Nothingface/Hatröss vibe” in reference to ...
Battle Royale: Can The Kings’ Palace Competitors Win The Challenge?
For the many championships The Challenge has awarded over the years, Laterrian, Teck, Melinda and Nehemiah collectively boast only one (three of them have yet to even see a final). But on The Challenge: All Stars Season 2, they’re proving to be a huge threat as a united front. So now that The Kings’ Palace has secured its plot in the game, can these four take less-than-majestic pasts and turn them into long-awaited crowning achievements? On the latest episode, as the foursome watched players like Brad, Jodi and Darrell maintain command over the game, Teck, Nehemiah and Laterrian made a pact to stay connected through the competition’s twists and turns, even if it meant going to battle with its toughest players. “This is the Kings’ Palace, and we’re going to preserve it and save the palace,”...
Tool Drummer Danny Carey Arrested at Kansas City Airport
Tool drummer Danny Carey was arrested on Sunday night at Kansas City International Airport on misdemeanor assault.

Check out the video of that performance below. [embedded conte...
