SEPULTURA’s DERRICK GREEN On Return Of Live Shows: ‘I Just Hope That Everyone Is Being Responsible And Safe’
SEPULTURA frontman Derrick Green spoke to El Cuartel Del Metal about what the post-pandemic return to the live stage might look like. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Well, it’s already coming back pretty quickly. I think people are very anxious for live shows. I just watched Lollapalooza live, which was taking place in Chicago, and it was a very crowded show. And I just hope everyone was as safe as possible. “It’s difficult times,” he continued. “It’s difficult to be that band that’s gonna be the first to play after a pandemic or when a pandemic is still kind of going on. And depending on where you are, people are looking at it in different ways. People are feeling the pandemic differently as well. There’s some people tha...
SHINEDOWN Drummer BARRY KERCH To Sit Out Beginning Of Tour After Testing Positive For COVID-19
SHINEDOWN drummer Barry Kerch has tested positive for the novel coronavirus after being vaccinated. The 44-year-old musician, who lives in Jacksonville, Florida, revealed his positive diagnosis in a video message earlier today. He stated in the clip (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “In the 20 years of SHINEDOWN, I have never missed a show — until now. I regret to say that I, unfortunately, during rehearsals, contracted COVID. And before you get all crazy on me, I got fully vaxxed in April. I followed all the rules — wore masks, washed my hands, et cetera. Unfortunately, I’m one of those ones that got it even though I was vaxxed. So, unfortunately, I’m still testing positive. I’m quarantined. My health is good, which is good news. I’ve had symptoms, but I&...
Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament Talks Anniversaries and I Should Be Outside
When I spoke with Jeff Ament a little over a year ago, he was as bummed as the rest of us. The pandemic was in its early stages, and Pearl Jam was one of the first bands to make the smart decision to indefinitely postpone their 2020 tour. That meant not playing shows in support of Gigaton, their first album in nearly seven years. The Pearl Jam bassist said, from his hideout in Montana, that he was in “Bob Pollard mode.” He’d been writing and writing and writing. Ament wrote about 70 songs during the lockdowns. The first result of channeling his angst into music was the hardcore-infused American Death Squad EP, a solo project released last July. Now? He’s onto his fourth solo effort, with a title so perfect that it echoes how most (if not all) of us feel: I Should Be Outside. Being hom...

Nintendo Switch Outsells PS3 and XBOX 360
Nintendo Switch has now outsold popular gaming consoles, PS3 and Xbox 360. The news comes from Nintendo’s financial data, revealing that the console has sold just over 89 million units. The newly released figures make Nintendo Switch the seventh most-sold gaming console of all time. The PS3 has sold 87.4 million units and the Xbox 360 has sold 84 million units. What makes this accomplishment for Nintendo more impressive is that the console debuted in 2017, reaching this figure in just under five years. By comparison, the PS3 and Xbox 360 figures come from an 11 year period. Nintendo Switch is slated to outsell the Nintendo Wii, which currently holds the number six spot with just over 101 million units sold. If this happens, Nintendo Switch will become Nintendo’s best-selling gaming console...

Kanye West Teases Dr. Dre-Produced Song “Glory” in New Beats Campaign
Kanye West released a second Beats campaign video starring all-star runner Sha’Carri Richardson and featuring his new song “Glory.” The secret track was produced by Dr. Dre and features Snoop Dogg.

Siesta Key Reveal: How Madisson’s Co-Stars Reacted To Her Baby-On-The-Way
Madisson surprised everyone at the last Siesta Key reunion when she and Ish revealed they were engaged. And her habit of disclosing milestone-themed announcements at the taped MTV gathering continued: The cast (and host Rachel Lindsay) watched the moment Madisson presented Ish with a cake and a special “we’re pregnant!” message. The mama-to-be was all smiles (and wiped away a few tears) as she relived the sweet scene with her fiancé. “If I stood up, you guys would see a little bump,” Madisson said. “Seriously!” And of course, there was a chorus of congratulations for the future parents. “I want to hug you!” Amanda gushed, adding, “I can’t cry off the bat!” Meanwhile, Juliette stated, “You deserve it — IR...
Will All Seven Survivor Alums Stick Together On The Challenge: Spies, Lies And Allies?
Michaela, Michele, Tommy, Emy, Emmanuel, Berna and Logan know how to survivore tough competitive conditions. But will the global Survivor players — who hail from the United States, Romania, Turkey and Spain, respectively — be able to outwit outplay outlast stick together on their rookie Challenge season? “I think it takes a certain amount of grit to be able to survive on an island, competing when you’re removed from all basic needs,” Michelle, the Kaôh Rōng winner, states in the video above. “I think, by nature, we tend to gravitate toward each other because we’ve been through that.” Being the sole survivor is no easy feat! But one of the aforementioned alums “doesn’t want to make a team” of Survivor veterans (hint: it’...
SUSTO Returns With ‘Get Down’ From Upcoming Album, Time in the Sun
SUSTO, the South Carolinian indie rockers that seemed to really be hitting their stride with their most recent release, 2019’s Ever Since I Lost My Mind, just announced a brand new album and a music video to go with it. Ahead of the Oct. 29 release of Time in the Sun on New West Records, the band released the video for “Get Down,” a catchy and fun tune with a much darker story behind it, according to lead singer Justin Osborne. “Although it carries a fun and lighthearted air, the song ‘Get Down’ was actually inspired by a scary time in my life when a close friend was battling substance abuse issues and openly discussing suicide with myself and our larger friend group,” Osborne tells SPIN. “I knew it was a cry for help, but at the same time, I was privately dealing with some of the same iss...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty While this might be one of the most anticipated albums of the year it is clear Donda is quite ready yet.

Definitely beats. But as far as the artist, I want to hear lyrics. W...
Singing Sensation Ria Sean Hits Double Dose Audio + Visuals For ‘Moneybag’ Off Forthcoming EP
Hot on the heels of her smash hit premiere single, ”Lemonade”, fast-rising Nigerian talent and Aristokrat Records’ singing sensation Ria Sean, who has been buzzing in the Nigerian underground for a while, releases brilliant new visuals to her sophomore single ”Moneybag”. While ‘Lemonade’ was a melodic sound that beautifully spoke of the ups and downs of relationships, ‘Moneybag” is the complete opposite where the fiesty artist is all about getting her paper. These two sounds, different in every way, are a part of the talented singer’s unique sound; a fusion of Afropop, R&B with Lo-Fi undertones; a clear testimony of her musical influences that include world-renowned artists Brandy, Chris Brown, Frank Ocean, to mention a few. Known by many as a vocal powerhouse and recognised for her un...
