For those have been following the development of Kanye West‘s DONDA album, it came as quite a surprise when Kid Cudi‘s signature crooning was removed from the final version of “Remote Control” that hit streaming platforms. The closing verse of track 12 on Kanye’s tenth studio album now features an interesting sample from the critically panned 2012 Christian allegorical animated film Strawinsky and the Mysterious House.

During an appearance on the latest episode of Metal Edge magazine’s “Another FN Podcast”, former QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate shared his thoughts on the recent death of Charlie Watts, drummer and core member of THE ROLLING STONES for the past six decades, “For me, he was the benchmark,” Geoff said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “THE STONES really represent the benchmark of what you can achieve and what you have to look forward to, in a sense, as a musician. As long as they’re still doing it, I can do it. A lot of guys my age, that was sort of the mantra that you would recite: ‘If Keith’s [Richards, THE ROLLING STONES guitarist] doing it, I can do it.’ He’s 80. [Laughs] So, with Charlie passing, man, it’s, like,...

PAPA ROACH has released a teaser for its next single, “Kill The Noise”. The full song will be made available on Thursday, September 9. “Kill The Noise” will arrive a little over a month after the release of PAPA ROACH‘s previous single, “Swerve”, which was a collaboration with FEVER 333 frontman Jason Aalon Butler and Los Angeles rapper Sueco.
