Bruce Springsteen Settles Debate Over “Thunder Road” Lyric After 46 Years
For nearly half a century, Bruce Springsteen fans have seemingly confused by a particular line in his classic song “Thunder Road.” In the opening lines of 1975’s Born to Run, The Boss sings, “The screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves/ Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays.” Or, so we thought. Those specific lyrics were included in the album’s liner notes, and on every official lyric sheet since its release. But it’s not exactly a perfect rhyme, and debate has sprung up in the intervening decades over whether Springsteen actually means to sing “sways” instead of “waves.” After all, does a dress really wave when the person wearing it dances?

Anthrax Celebrate 40 Years of Thrash with Career-Spanning Livestream Concert: Review
Setting the Stage: It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of thrash metal pioneers Anthrax. Considered to be one of the “Big 4” of thrash (along with Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth), the band — which since 2013 has featured a lineup comprised of singer Joey Belladonna, guitarists Scott Ian and Jon Donais, bassist Frank Bello, and drummer Charlie Benante — undoubtedly would have preferred to celebrate this impressive career accomplishment with a thorough world tour, but instead offered up a virtual worldwide concert event. Anthrax officially formed on July 18th, 1981, and the metal legends started the 40th anniversary celebration a couple months back with a video series documenting their illustrious career through testimonials from the band members ...

AUTOPSY Parts Ways With Longtime Bassist JOE TREVISANO
AUTOPSY has announced the departure of longtime bassist Joe Trevisano. The highly influential U.S. death metal pioneers made his exit official in a social media post on Saturday (July 17). The band wrote: “Surreal as it is, our long time bass player and friend Joe Trevisano has left the band. “Joe has been making records and kicking ass on stage all over the world with us for the entire chapter two of AUTOPSY going back to 2008. And before that he was in ABSCESS going back to 1997, and even before that…we knew Joe from the local scene around 1991 when he was in VON, so we have a long history together. “Let it be known the split is on good terms.

Ex-CRO-MAGS Frontman JOHN JOSEPH Calls Out DAVE GROHL For Playing ‘Vaccinated-Only’ Shows: ‘What Kind Of Bulls**t Is That?’
Former CRO-MAGS frontman John Joseph has called out Dave Grohl for playing vaccinated-only shows. A vaccine passport is a physical or digital document that displays whether someone is fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Critics say that such passports are a violation of privacy and an example of government overreach. Meanwhile, supporters point out that federal immigration law already requires that immigrants provide proof of vaccination status for several diseases. FOO FIGHTERS essentially asked for a vaccine passport last month when they performed at Madison Square Garden in what was the first major concert in New York since the pandemic began. Days earlier, the Grohl-fronted outfit performed a small warm-up gig in Agoura Hills, California where fans wishing to attend had to show photo ID...
Fans Are Loving New IMAX ‘Dune’ Movie Poster
With Dune‘s HBO Max premiere now pushed back to October 22, Legendary Pictures is adding a bit more excitement into the pot with a new promotional movie poster. Teasing a new IMAX trailer, which is slated for a release next week, the poster is being praised by fans for its minimal yet effective approach in promoting the film. This bit of advertising gold uses negative space to depict either a small individual walking on a large sand dune or the outline of a large inhospitable planet when looked at from afar. Your eyes also follow the fine line between the shadow and the light. While most fans are excited about next week’s IMAX trailer, others have tweeted that the use of the small planet/black hole at the “E” in DUNE ruins the design as it makes the movie look like “DUNC.” no crop twitter ...
Watch First Full Trailer For ‘Titans’ Season 3
HBO Max has dropped the first full trailer for Season Three of Titans, which seems to confirm the death of a major character. As hinted at by the teaser trailer, it seems that the second Robin aka Jason Todd (Curran Walters) meets his demise at the hands of a crowbar-wielding Joker. Todd’s death prompts Bruce Wayne (Iain Glen) to retire as Batman and Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) to consider taking on the mantle of the bat, while the Titans reform to counter the threat to Gotham posed by new villain, Red Hood. Mad Men star Vincent Kartheiser also joins the cast as Scarecrow, who acts as a Hannibal Lecter-like consultant from behind the bars of Arkham Asylum. Titans Season 3 debuts on HBO Max on August 12. In other entertainment news, hitmaker studio A24 explored sale valuing it at $...
