JUDAS PRIEST’s ROB HALFORD On Touring During Pandemic: ‘We’ve Got To Get Out There And Do It’
In a new interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford spoke about his expectations for the band’s first pandemic-era tour, the rescheduled “50 Heavy Metal Years” North American trek, which will kick off on September 8 in Reading, Pennsylvania and conclude on November 5 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. “Here’s the thing: We’ve got to get out there and do it, man,” he said. “If we don’t, we’re going to be sitting home for the rest of this year, next year, the year after that and the year after that. This stuff isn’t going to go away. We’ve got to find a way of getting through it. You talk about herd immunity, you talk about all of these different things, you can only do as much as you can do.

STEEL PANTHER’s SATCHEL Recalls Mistaking DON DOKKEN For ‘Some Homeless Guy’
During an appearance on the latest episode of the “2020’d” podcast, STEEL PANTHER guitarist Satchel recalled a particularly amusing encounter with legendary DOKKEN frontman Don Dokken when both bands performed at the M3 Rock Festival in Maryland. “We had never played there before,” Satchel said. “And I was wandering around and I found the place where all the bands go to eat. I wish it was a Pizza Hut; the food wasn’t that good. I went and got some food, and I was looking for a place to sit down. There was a bunch of people — there was a bunch of bands playing there — so it was more crowded than a Pizza Hut. I was looking for somebody in my band so I could sit down next to somebody and not feel uncomfortable. And I saw [STEEL PANTHER singer] Michael...
NIKKI SIXX Blasts ‘Bottom-Feeder Press’ For Sensationalizing His Recent DAVID LEE ROTH Revelation
Nikki Sixx has blasted the “bottom-feeder press” for sensationalizing his recent revelation that David Lee Roth turned down an offer to take part in that MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s “The Stadium Tour”. In an article previewing Sixx‘s upcoming book, “The First 21: How I Became Nikki Sixx”, the Los Angeles Times revealed that when CRÜE invited Diamond Dave to share the bill with them on their highly anticipated reunion tour, the VAN HALEN singer responded, “I don’t open for bands that I influenced.” A day after Roth‘s remarks were covered on BLABBERMOUTH.NET and other sites, Sixx took to his Twitter to write: “Media takes one sentence outta new book and makes it a headline. Clickbait. I’ve comes to despise bottom feeder pr...
It’s Drake’s Day, So What’s With All the Phony ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Albums on Spotify?
Notably, the problem extends to text searches on the Spotify app itself. A text search for “Certified Lover Boy Drake” on Spotify turns up an album entitled Drake by the artist Certified Lover Boy as the top result. When searching only for “Certified Lover Boy,” a Spotify-curated playlist of the entire album – but not the album itself – appears. Spotify did not immediately respond to Billboard’s request for comment. A source says Spotify is working with the music industry to address the issue, which is common among albums from major artists. Each DSP separately routes which albums, songs and playlists are surfaced when voice requests are made through Amazon’s Alexa. When reached for comment, Apple denied the problem was an issue with their hardware. Google did not respond to Billboard’s re...

Annenberg Inclusion Initiative Takes Swipes at Recording Academy’s Diversity Efforts
The Recording Academy’s Women in the Mix initiative was launched in 2019 whereby 650 music professionals pledged to consider at least two women in the selection process every time a producer or engineer is hired. The goal was to increase abysmal representation by women in studios. The tweet would seem to reference a survey, open until Sept. 20, which is part of a broader partnership between the academy, Berklee College of Music Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship and Arizona State University, that launched in March with an analysis of gender representation within the 63rd Grammy Awards. The goal of the study is to help guide diversity, equity and inclusion objectives within the Recording Academy and the industry at large. The Annenberg Inclusive Initiative’s tweet appears to...

Iron Maiden Craft Their Most Diverse Album in Years with Senjutsu: Review
The Lowdown: Metal legends Iron Maiden were riding high prior to the pandemic. The band were in the midst of their “Legacy of the Beast Tour” — a career-spanning celebration of the band’s discography. The comprehensive setlist pulled from every era of Maiden — even the Blaze Bayley albums — hitting major highlights as well as obscure deep cuts. Somewhere in the middle of the jaunt, in early 2019, the band found time to hit the Guillaume Tell Studio in France to track the material that would become Senjutsu. Perhaps running through 40 years of songs every night worked as the ultimate songwriting stimulant, because Senjutsu is easily Iron Maiden’s most diverse work in years — no easy task for a band that continues to chiefly operate in a long-since-established heavy metal style. The Goo...
