JOSH TODD Reflects On AXL ROSE’s ‘Amazing’ Gesture When BUCKCHERRY Opened For GUNS N’ ROSES
During an appearance on a recent episode of the GUNS N’ ROSES-centric “Appetite For Distortion” podcast, BUCKCHERRY frontman Josh Todd reflected on his first and only face-to-face encounter with Axl Rose. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I have always really loved Axl — as a singer, as a frontman. I just really think he’s a really talented guy. And I never got to meet him. I’d been around places where he was close by and I didn’t know about it and I never got to meet him. So, cut to [BUCKCHERRY] did a handful of shows with [GUNS N’ ROSES in 2011]. And still, he’s kind of a mysterious guy — he would always go on never on scheduled time. And at that point, we would always be in a bus, maybe traveling to the next location. Be...
ALICE IN CHAINS’ JERRY CANTRELL Reflects On Rise Of Grunge: ‘We Were Aware That Something Was Happening In Our Town’
In a new interview with E. Curtis Johnson of the 105.1 The Blaze radio station, Jerry Cantrell reflected on ALICE IN CHAINS‘ rise to international fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, along with other Seattle bands such as NIRVANA, PEARL JAM and SOUNDGARDEN. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We were aware that something was happening in our town that we all sprung from, from various directions — north, east, south and west, around Seattle. You could feel that there was something happening, and it was a little different and it was a little grittier and it was a little bit more raw than what was going on at the time. But we were also aware of a lot of bands that were making kind of a new sound as well. I remember seeing FAITH NO MORE come through t...
Siesta Key Star Chloe Trautman Is Engaged
There’s a brand-new bride-to-be in Siesta Key: Chloe Trautman is engaged to “soulmate” Chris Long. “Yesterday I said YES to my soulmate in Fairyland,” Chloe captioned the Instagram album above from the couple’s engagement in Bryce Canon, Utah. “Chris took us on an 8.2 mile loop trail that was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life -mentally and physically. The emotional release after finishing this hike was indescribable. As I was standing at the overlook reflecting over all the emotions I felt throughout this hike, I heard Chris say my name and I turned around and there he was down on one knee. We both kind of blacked out and I remember breaking down in tears and saying how crazy this is! He asked me to marry him and I said YES!” She ...
Memory Lane: These Are The Season 2 All Stars Newbies’ Original Cast Photos
The Season 2 All Stars are embarking on “one more fight to set things right.” But before the Challenge legends get a “do over” beginning November 11– some haven’t competed in years and years — we’re remembering their MTV roots.

Nessa Barrett Picks Her Poison
Since first breaking into the music industry, the genre-blending artist Nessa Barrett has plunged further into her own inner darkness with each new release. She plays a ghost in the music video for “I Hope Ur Miserable Until Ur Dead,” haunting an ex-boyfriend in lingerie and opera-length gloves, appearing in mirrors and watching him as he sleeps, like a lingering curse. In “I Wanna Die,” the singer is an acrylic-nailed corpse being made up for a funeral by a handsome undertaker. “If I’m being honest, I’ve never felt more confident than when I had dead makeup on,” she tells MTV with a laugh. But for 19-year-old Barrett, who is MTV’s Push artist for November 2021, the journey into those depths has been one toward authenticity and self-discovery. The takeaway for the revenge anthem “I Hope Ur...

Study Finds Racial Discrimination Leads To Anxiety, Depression & Suicidal Ideation In Black Men
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: FatCamera / Getty When it comes to the leading causes of death of Black men in America, heart disease and cancer are often brought up as they should be since they’re at the very top of the killer list across ages. Homicide is also often brought up, especially by white people who lean on it as an illogical justification for their racism. But one relatively common cause of death among Black men and boys that is rarely discussed is suicide—the leading cause of death for Black males ages 15 to 24, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to a study conducted by Janell R. Goodwill, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy and Practice, suicide is a leading cause for Black...
