When Quavo first burst onto the scene in 2013 with the hit song “Versace,” alongside his Migos family members, Offset and Takeoff, the budding stars couldn’t have predicted the non-stop momentum that would carry them to the present day. Almost seven years later, and the energy that surrounds the rapper — who, at this point, barely needs an introduction to anybody relatively attuned to pop culture — is still prevalent. That’s the thing with forward motion: once it starts, it’s incredibly hard to control. That is, unless, your name is Quavious Keyate Marshall and you’re able to harness this movement as a catalyst for creating a cultural force. Much like the all-new adidas Z.N.E. 01 ANC headphones, for which Quavo is both a fan and an ambassador, the multi-platinum recording artist has found ...

RATING: 8/10 EAGLES OF DEATH METAL‘s backstory is littered with anecdotes. Some are unexpected, like the fact that frontman Jesse Hughes was once an activist involved with Sonny Bono‘s 1992 Senate campaign. Unfortunately, though, one page from the act’s history is utterly tragic. On the Paris date of their 2015 tour, terrorists claimed the lives of 89 people, including show-goers as well as the band’s own merchandise manager, in a senseless attack. But, thanks to the likes of EAGLES OF DEATH METAL, rock and freedom can’t be held down. The rock ‘n’ roll heathens now return with their Christmas themed EP, “Eagles of Death Metal Presents A Boots Electric Christmas”, and Paris is, in fact, on the band’s itinerary for their early 2022 ...

Founding TYKETTO guitarist Brooke St. James “came very close to death” during his recent battle with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. St. James, who played on TYKETTO‘s first four albums before exiting the group in 2014, opened up about his experience with the respiratory disease while appealing to his fans and friends on GoFundMe for help with costs associated with medical expenses and lost income. Brooke wrote in part: “In mid late September 2021 my now 17 year old daughter returned home from school ill. Within a few days most everyone in my home was sick. The kids tested positive first, then my wife. Ok, no need to panic.. from what we all knew at that point, we, as relatively healthy individuals should be fine. The kids bounced back immedia...

Fan-filmed video footage of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS‘ November 7 performance at Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania can be seen below. STONE TEMPLE PILOTS features three original members — guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz. Singer Jeff Gutt, a 45-year-old Michigan native who spent time in the early-2000s nu-metal act DRY CELL, among other bands, and was a contestant on “The X Factor”, joined STONE TEMPLE PILOTS after beating out roughly 15,000 hopefuls during an extended search that began more than a year earlier.

Chester Bennington, who joined STP in earl...

Chris Holmes says that W.A.S.P. became all about frontman Blackie Lawless in the years after the release of the band’s classic debut album. Holmes joined W.A.S.P. in 1982 and remained with the group until 1990. In 1996, the guitarist returned to W.A.S.P. and stayed with the band until 2001. Chris has not played with W.A.S.P. since. Holmes discussed his tenure with W.A.S.P. in a brand new interview with TotalRock Radio. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Blackie, while I was in the band, made some really bad decisions — really bad decisions — that killed the band. “I’ve known him since I was 18, 17 — when he supposedly got done playing with the [NEW YORK] DOLLS or whatever; I knew him them. And not in my farthest dream could I think in the first album tha...
