TIM ‘RIPPER’ OWENS Says It Would Be ‘Awesome’ If KK’S PRIEST Toured With JUDAS PRIEST
Tim “Ripper” Owens says that there is no competition between his former band JUDAS PRIEST and his new group KK’S PRIEST, in which he is joined by another ex-JUDAS PRIEST member, guitarist Kenneth “K.K.” Downing. “I don’t think we look at it [like that],” he told The Rock Experience With Mike Brunn in a new interview (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “There’s one JUDAS PRIEST. They’re JUDAS PRIEST. If [K.K. and I] wanted to take that angle, we would have called [our new band] KK’S JUDAS PRIEST. But I think fans are happy ’cause they know they do have two things that are the same vein, and they have K.K. back. I went nowhere — I’ve been putting music out like crazy — but they have Ken and I back together ...
GLENN HUGHES On Becoming Sober More Than Two Decades Ago: ‘I Was Sick And Tired Of Waking Up Sick And Tired’
Legendary bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, who has been clean and sober for more than two decades, was asked in a new interview with “The Chuck Schute Podcast” if there was anything someone could have said to him to get him to quit drinking sooner. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Trust me, everybody that loved me or loves me told me on numerous occasions to get it together, to get it together, to get it together. I got it together when I was sick and tired of waking up sick and tired. So many times I tried to stop, and so many times I couldn’t get it together. My suggestion for those out there that may have had one too many drinks, you’ve gotta realize that that high is never gonna last forever. You’ve gotta get a grip on it. “A f...

Lauren Patten Thanks Trans and Nonbinary ‘Jagged Little Pill’ Colleagues While Accepting Best Actress in a Musical
Patten’s comments follow the news that the show’s lead producers, Vivek J. Tiwary, Arvind Ethan David and Eva Price, had hired the external firm Jay Hewlin and The Hewlin Group to investigate allegations made by former cast members, including nonbinary actor Nora Schell, who alleged in a social media post mistreatment by stage management and other members of the show’s creative leadership in regards to their health care.

Machine Gun Kelly Fights Fan, Gets Booed During Louder Than Life Performance: Watch
Machine Gun Kelly’s headlining set at Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday (September 25th) was certainly an eventful one. The rapper turned pop-punker was heckled throughout the gig, and at one point threw a punch at a fan who jumped the barricade to confront him. It’s safe to say that the fans turned on MGK due to his recent feud with Slipknot singer Corey Taylor. While Slipknot weren’t on the bill for Louder Than Life, a lot of bands on the Saturday lineup share fans with the masked metal act, including Disturbed, Volbeat, Code Orange, and more. Video footage shows Machine Gun Kelly performing to a chorus of boos, with festival goers flipping him the bird. At one point, when the singer made his way down to the photo pit, a couple of fans jumped the barricade to...
Netflix Drops Dazzling Opening Title Sequence for Cowboy Bebop: Watch
Netflix has unveiled the opening credits to its highly-anticipated adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. Watch the intro below. Taking cues from the beloved original anime series, the colorful sequence is equal parts comic book ka-pow and live action noir as it introduces viewers to the show’s titular gang of interstellar bounty hunters over a jazzy rendition of the anime’s original theme song — “Tank!” by composer Yoko Kanno‘s band Seatbelts. “I think it’s time we blow this thing/ Get everybody and their stuff together/ OK, 3, 2, 1, let’s jam,” pronounces a male voice, kicking the action off over a jumping bassline and the blast of a full horn section. Cowboy Bebop stars John Cho as Spike Siegel, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine, Elena Satine as Julia, and Alex Hassell...
William Shatner Is Going to Space Next Month
William Shatner is going where only few men have gone before: the Star Trek actor is set to blast off into space aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket. TMZ reports that Shatner will be among the passengers aboard the rocket when it launches in October. In doing so, the 90-year-old actor will become the oldest person ever to go to space, breaking a record recently set by astronaut Wally Funk, who took a trip aboard the Blue Origin in July. Perhaps equally significant, Shatner will also be the first-ever inductee of the WWE’s Wrestling Hall of Fame to go to space. Blue Origin’s 11-minute sub orbital flight takes passengers more than 62 miles above Earth, including three minutes in zero gravity. Shatner is reportedly filming the once-in-a-lifetime experience for an upcoming documentary. Adver...
