SEBASTIAN BACH Tests Positive For COVID-19 After Being Fully Vaccinated: ‘I Feel Totally Great,’ He Says
Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach has tested positive for the novel coronavirus after being vaccinated. The 53-year-old musician, who lives in Los Angeles, California, revealed his positive diagnosis in a video message Friday night (August 6). He stated in the clip (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “If you’re wondering why I’m by myself wearing a mask, I guess it’s time to let you guys know I have been diagnosed and have tested positive for COVID. Yes, it’s true. But I have to tell you that I feel totally great. [Laughs] I’m fully vaccinated. I was given the vaccine — the J&J [Johnson & Johnson], one shot and done — back in March. But I guess COVID wasn’t done.” Bach then went on to list the places he has been since he “...
TED NUGENT: ‘Technology Has Literally Deterred People From Practicing The Guitar’
In a new interview with retired boxer David “Niño” Rodriguez, legendary rocker Ted Nugent was asked is today’s rock music has lost its soul. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “A big hallelujah that Freddie Mercury‘s gift of talent and soulfulness, musical creativity and adventure that so enriched everyone’s lives. QUEEN‘s music and Freddie Mercury‘s musical vision and spirit, it enriched the world. It’s the soundtrack, these magical pieces by the band QUEEN, just gifted virtuosos. And their work ethic — to achieve that level of success and uninhibited musical outrage takes an unbelievable man-in-the-arena work ethic. So, a salute to the QUEEN band and Freddie Mercury. But how prophetic. Because those words have iron, an...

With King’s Disease II, Nas’ Second Reign Is Better Than His First
A good sequel is rare. Every now and then, we get a part two on par or better than the original, but for every Dark Knight, there are 50 Hangover Part IIs. It’s a feat even more challenging in music, because each album is about a particular time in an artist’s life. Asking for a new version of that same thing is basically asking them to hop in a time machine and relive the past. Which, until someone says otherwise, is impossible. Never one to shy away from an impossible task, Nas surprised the world when he announced King’s Disease II, a sequel to his Grammy-winning 13th album, just one week ago. Out today, August 6th, it finds the rapper and producer Hit-Boy continuing their flourishing tag-team partnership. Their first endeavor, released in August 2020, felt designed to make fans fo...

First Spin: The Week’s Best New Dance Tracks From Flight Facilities, Feed Me, Point Point & More
Flight Facilities feat. Drama, “Move” Change is in the air for Flight Facilities. The Australian purveyors of chill poolside vibes have lately been bumping up energy on recent songs like “The Ghost” and Channel Tres collaboration “Lights Up.” In a statement, they share: “Subconsciously, a decade after releasing early 80’s inspired disco, our internal musical clocks have us creating early ‘90s inspired dance.” New single “Move,” featuring Chicago duo Drama, isn’t just inspired by the ‘90s — it’s a whole time machine back to when house music ruled the Billboard dance/club charts, buoyed by the voices of divas like CeCe Peniston, Crystal Waters and Martha Wash. Drama’s Via Rosa is less roaring and more vocally reserved here, but the thumping bassline, sweaty drums and swelling piano mel...
