Former QUEENSRŸCHE Singer GEOFF TATE Is ‘Devastated’ By CHARLIE WATTS’s Death
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,...

In a brand new interview with Knotfest.com‘s “Talk Toomey” podcast, former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted was asked why he always wore the band’s t-shirts while performing live. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I believed in myself and I believed in my band… I would do whatever I could, what was within my power, to promote and forward our success.
