U2’s Edge Leading Rock Memorabilia Sale to Help Musicians
When The Edge saw The Rolling Stones perform recently, his mask allowed him to go unrecognized as he watched guitarist Ron Wood from the front row. “I have to say one of the benefits of mask wearing is it’s like a cloaking device if you’re a famous face,” the U2 guitarist recently told The Associated Press while promoting his Music Rising charity and its Dec. 11 auction of famous guitars and other rock memorabilia to support New Orleans musicians hit hard by the pandemic. “Ronnie has donated a beautiful guitar to our auction. So, I was so stoked,” he said.

15 Minute Live Performances: TRISHES
Music has always played a major role in TRISHES‘ life. Whether it was as a toddler in Trinidad or spending her formative years in the U.S., she has always been performing. In our recent Day in the Life feature, she explained that after she performed at a talent show in middle school, she realized that music was her calling. “People were just so affected by the performance that I started to understand that I could move people,” she said. “I could make them feel things.” Recently, TRISHES released her debut album, The Id, which had been in the works for several years. Lyrically, she explores self-identity over what she calls “experimental minimalist beat-driven pop.” She self-released, co-produced, and wrote nearly the entire album with co-conspirator Hakan Mavruk.

HYPOCRISY/PAIN Leader PETER TÄGTGREN Won’t Get Vaccinated Against COVID-19 Until It’s Time To Go On Tour
Swedish producer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN) has spoken out against vaccine mandates, saying “when they try to force it on you, I become the opposite.” The 51-year-old Tägtgren, who lives in a small Swedish village called Pärlby, discussed his views on vaccines in a new interview with Tuonela Magazine. He said: “Unfortunately, I’m not a really optimistic guy when it comes to this COVID thing. I think there will be a couple of peaks again and [lockdowns] here and [lockdowns] there. Unfortunately, that’s how it is. I don’t know when it’s ever gonna pan out. I don’t know if it ever will pan out. But maybe we can be more immune to it so it’s not so deadly — so it doesn’t affect you so, so bad, if you get...
CANDLEBOX’s KEVIN MARTIN: How TRUMP Administration Inspired Title Of ‘Wolves’ Album
In a new interview with V13, CANDLEBOX frontman Kevin Martin spoke about how our “pack mentality/lone wolf mentality” as human beings served as an inspiration for the title of the band’s latest album, “Wolves”. He said: “I came up with this title for this record prior to the pandemic. Watching the previous [presidential] administration, for somebody like myself, was very disturbing. The amount of disassociative behavior that seems to be taking hold in the world is kind of where I came up with the concept. And when you have somebody like Donald Trump in office that’s constantly stirring up shit and there being this boiling pot of stupidity — and I shouldn’t even say that because it’s really unfair because these people may not be stupid; ...

Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi Returns with New Song “Scent of Dark”: Stream
Toni Iommi has returned with a new signature cologne and song, “Scent of Dark”, his first new rock-oriented music in more than eight years. Iommi teamed with Italian perfumier Xerjoff for the boutique cologne, an unexpected branding endeavor for the legendary Black Sabbath guitarist. Iommi is well aware of what fans might think about his new endorsement. “They’ll think I’ve gone mad,” he told Rolling Stone with a laugh. “It’s something I would’ve never thought of involving myself in.

Dave Chappelle Called a “Bigot,” Drops the N-Word During Contentious Visit to His Old High School
Dave Chappelle had a contentious encounter with students of his old high school during a surprise visit earlier this week.

However, during a Q&A with students, the comedian was faced with questions over his recent Netflix special Closer. In the special, which was released in October, Chappelle made several jokes about transgendered people, defended J.K. Rowlings’ anti-trans comments, and went as far to declare himself “Team TERF” (TERF is the acronym for a trans-exclusionary radical feminist). His comments were met with immense criticism, and members of Netflix’s LGBTQ+ community staged a wal...
