NANCY WILSON: ‘You Listen To ANN WILSON Sing, There’s Only One, And That’s Her’
In a new interview with “New Day Northwest” on KING 5, HEART‘s Nancy Wilson spoke about what it was like for her and her sister Ann to break new ground for women in a male-dominated industry. She said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “From the mountain top, looking back at a whole career that started out pretty gruff and pretty rough and tumble, there’s always kind of a perception that, as a younger woman, that you may not be worth your salt. I think [it forces you to] work harder to be counted and to be recognized as somebody talented. So we did our due diligence up early, as really young girls. We went and played everywhere and learned our craft. “I think profiency is what, nobody can argue with it. You listen to Ann Wilson sing — there’s on...

SEPULTURA’s ANDREAS KISSER: Quitting Alcohol Was ‘One Of The Best Decisions I Made In My Life’
In a new interview with A&P Reacts, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser was asked if anything has changed within him, professionally or personally, as a result of the pandemic that’s going to be completely different for him going forward. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Basically, a lot of stuff. I changed a lot, and I think for the better. I quit alcohol right before the pandemic hit. It’s a year and a half almost now that I don’t drink alcohol. It was one of the best decisions I made in my life. Not that I was a fucking out-of-control alcoholic, but alcohol was a part of my life, of everything I did. In certain degrees less and more, but it was there. It was taking control of my life, of my choices, of how I dealt with people or with a speci...
Bhad Bhabie Loud & Wrongly Beefs With Lil Yachty About Cultural Appropriation
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paul Archuleta / Getty A social media chat between rappers Lil Yachty and the controversial Bhad Bhabie got very heated as they discussed the concept of cultural appropriation. The 18-year old personality and recent addition on OnlyFans got on Instagram Live with Yachty on Wednesday (July 21) to vehemently dismiss claims that she’s a racist. “The one thing I’m really, really sick of is the whole ‘Bhad Bhabie is a cultural appropriator,’” she told Yachty. “No. Y’all make these words have different terms to what they even mean. Cultural appropriation is if I was to sit up and say, ‘Oh, a certain race looks ugly with that.’ And then I go do that on myself.” Lil Yachty seemed highly confused, asking her, “Bro, what the f**k is you talking about?” That made hi...
Make It Make Sense: Fully Vaccinated “Blues Singer” Eric Clapton Threatens To Cancel Shows If Venues Require Vaccinations
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gie Knaeps / Getty This pandemic will never end with thinking like this. Eric Clapton is singing the blues when it comes to vaccinations against COVID-19. The “blues singer” who is also fully vaccinated is BIG MAD, claiming he has “the right” to cancel shows at venues that will require people to be vaccinated to attend. His stance puts his hypocritical and quite frankly boneheaded anti-vax sentiments on full display. Deadline reports Clapton’s statement came after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced “that vaccine passes will be required to enter nightclubs and other venues,” a very logical move as the country is still battling rising COVID-19 cases due to the more highly contagious delta variant. Clapton’s next show is damn near a year away, and he ...
Megan Thee Stallion Reveals To Tyra Banks She Hid Her Dreams of Becoming A Rapper From Her Mom
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Denise Truscello / Getty Megan Thee Stallion oozes confidence, but there was one point in her life she wasn’t so sure about becoming a rapper. The leader of the hot girls should still be on a tremendous high after confirming she landed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, making her the first rapper to do so. In the feature interview accompanying the amazing cover and some tantalizing photos of the Houston Hip-Hop star, she broke bread with legendary supermodel Tyra Banks. She shared that she hid her desire to rap from her mom. “My mom was a rapper,” Meg opens up. “She didn’t know I wanted to be a rapper, but I would literally watch her in the studio all day. I’m like, ‘This lady is everything.’ I didn’t want to tell her that I could rap until ...

Foo Fighters Have Dropped a Disco Album: Listen
Foo Fighters‘ new Bee Gees tribute band—yes, this is real—have dropped their debut album, Hail Satan. While the arrival of Dee Gees feels like a fever dream, there’s no denying how well they’re filling these new dancing boots. When Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl first announced the new venture, he shocked fans by revealing that his drumming inspirations during his early years in Nirvana were actually disco pioneers. Hail Satan is a full circle moment, featuring four Bee Gees covers, a rework of Andy Gibb’s “Shadow Dancing,” and five live versions of songs frok Medicine Midnight, the band’s most recent studio album. The album arrives shortly after a sold-out, full capacity show at Madison Square Garden. Sadly, that ho...
Lil Uzi Vert Bought a Planet—Yes, a Planet—Bigger Than Jupiter, According to Grimes
It’s no secret that music artists are known for making outrageous purchases. Just ask Drake, who forked up $395,000 for a mattress made with gold brass and horsehair. It’s tough to keep up with all the hubris and clout-chasing of the music industry’s biggest stars, but the latest acquisition by Lil Uzi Vert is astronomically absurd. You’ll get that pun in a moment. According to Grimes, the Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist has bought a planet—yes, a planet—bigger than Jupiter. She took to Twitter to claim that Uzi will become the first human to legally own a planet after purchasing WASP-127b, a gas giant exoplanet discovered in 2016. Uzi quickly chimed in to clarify the bizarro claim, which is apparently actually coming to fruition. In hi...
Bassnectar Responds to Explosive Sex Trafficking Lawsuit, Denies Allegations
Following graphic allegations of sex trafficking and possessing child pornography, among other charges, DJ and electronic music producer Bassnectar has responded to an explosive lawsuit filed on behalf of multiple women. VICE reports Bassnectar, whose real name is Lorin Ashton, has denied all of the accusations and is demanding a jury trial, according to an official response filed in a U.S. district court in Tennessee. “This case is nothing more than an attempt by opportunistic women who have chosen to sue Ashton, his record label, managers, and even one of the charities he has contributed to, all in an attempt to frame years of friendship as trafficking so that they can exploit a statute for monetary gain,” the response reads. “Our clients want to see just...
