JUDAS PRIEST’s ROB HALFORD Says It Was ‘Euphoric’ Performing ‘Rocka Rolla’ For First Time In More Than Four Decades
In a new interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford was asked what it was like to perform the title track of the band’s debut album, “Rocka Rolla”, for the first time in 45 years at last month’s Bloodstock Open Air festival at Catton Park, Walton-on-Trent, United Kingdom. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I threw that out. We all had a list. I threw that out, and Glenn [Tipton, guitar] went, ‘I don’t think that’s gonna work.’ I said, ‘I don’t think it’s gonna work either.’ I said, ‘But wouldn’t it be so cool if we did it, because there is the title track of the first album this band ever made?’ And so when we got up into rehearsals and we jammed it, a...

BRUCE DICKINSON Says ‘People Are Nuts’ Not To Get Vaccinated Against COVID-19: ‘It’s Not The Flu, Trust Me’
IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson, who tested positive for COVID-19 last month after being fully vaccinated, discussed his battle with the disease in a new interview with Gregg Stone of the 103.5 The Fox radio station. “The delta variant is the dominant strain in America, and has been the dominant strain in the U.K. and Europe for a while now,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “But people who have gotten vaccinated are just not dying from it — not really. Something like 98 percent of people in hospitals haven’t had a vaccine shot. “I don’t believe that people should be forced to have vaccines,” he continued. “Maybe in hospitals and stuff like that — people who work there. But honestly, it’s a personal decision. But I just ...

COREY TAYLOR’s Son Comments On JOEY JORDISON’s Passing, Pushes Back Against Critics
Griffin Taylor, the 18-year-old son of SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR singer Corey Taylor, and frontman of the Iowa-based metal band VENDED, was asked in a new interview with Slasher Pepper how he will pass on the legacy of recently deceased founding SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, I don’t feel like passing on Joey Jordison‘s legacy is my mission in life. I feel like that goal should be towards Simon [Crahan, VENDED drummer and son of SLIPKNOT percissionist M. Shawn Crahan]. Because he was pretty much — I wouldn’t say taught by Joey, because he played when he was very young, ’cause Simon started playing when he was very young. But I feel like Simon learned a lot more from Joey than he could ever teach me. So I...

Chlöe Says Her ‘Have Mercy’ Video Is ‘All About Ass, But In An Artistic Way’
The road to Chlöe Bailey‘s debut solo single “Have Mercy” was long, arduous, and sometimes even plagued by toxic comments from strangers who refused to let her own her confidence. But with a wildly bold and inventive new video directed by Karena Evans that lets Chlöe present herself precisely how she wants the world to see her, she’s truly arrived. As she tells MTV News ahead of the debut performance of “Have Mercy” at the 2021 VMAs on Sunday, September 12, executing her vision as she saw it was paramount to the song’s rollout. “Men can glorify ass in their videos. I want to do it with this in an artful, really fun, beautiful way,” she tells MTV News correspondent Dometi Pongo. ”I think it’s so great how women can claim own...

Mariah Carey’s ‘Glitter’ at 20: How It Sparkled to Life After Nearly Two Decades
The reason for such a dramatic turnabout is well-documented. That ice cream cart ‘gate-crashing‘ of Total Request Live which saw host Carson Daly declare that his impromptu guest had “lost her mind.” A hospitalization, which Carey later explained resulted in her bipolar diagnosis. In a much less forgiving era, these mental health struggles were shamefully treated by the media with more derision than empathy. The singer would later argue that she was used as a punching bag to distract from the horrors of 9/11. By the time Glitter finally made it into stores (on the darkest day in modern American history), Carey’s stock was at an all-time low. First-week sales of 116,000 and a No. 7 Billboard 200 peak (compared to the 323,000 first-week numbers and No. 2 de...
