Dr. Anthony Fauci Answers Your COVID-19 Vaccine Questions: ‘You Can Have An Informed Choice’
Right now, the United States has a reported 14 million COVID-19 cases, which is about 40,000 more cases than when the virus hit its first peak in the spring. And Dr. Robert Redfield, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recently said that the winter may be particularly dangerous and that by February 2021, the country could see up to 450,000 Americans dead from the virus, The New York Times reports. One key difference between now and the early months of the pandemic in the U.S. is that there are several vaccines on the horizon, with up to 40 million doses potentially available through pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Moderna by the end of the year. Those would likely go to health care workers and residents of nursing homes, as recommended by a scientific panel this...
THE OFFSPRING Shares Music Video For Cover Version Of Holiday Classic ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’
THE OFFSPRING has just released the official music video for its Bob Rock-produced cover version of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”, a rock song originally sung by Darlene Love and included on the 1963 seasonal compilation album “A Christmas Gift For You” from Phil Spector. Says THE OFFSPRING frontman Dexter Holland: “It just seemed like the world could use a nice holiday song right now. We’ve always been huge fans of Darlene Love, so when the idea came up to do a Christmas song, we jumped at the chance to record that one…and tried not to wreck it!” This past April, THE OFFSPRING jumped on the “Tiger King” bandwagon by recording a cover version of THE CLINTON JOHNSON BAND‘s “Here Kitty Kitty”, a song made popular b...
DEEP PURPLE Will Try To Make Another Studio Album In 2021
DEEP PURPLE is planning to enter the studio in 2021 to begin work on another album. The news of the legendary British rockers’ upcoming recording activity was broken by bassist Roger Glover during a virtual meet-and-greet with Finnish fan Anssi Herkkola. Speaking about how he and the other members of PURPLE have been spending their coronavirus downtime, Roger said (see video below): “All this COVID situation has meant that we can’t tour. We’re twiddling our thumbs, really, for over a year, and the idea was to possibly go back in and do another album. And so we’re just working towards that. It’s so quick after we’d done the last album, [and] maybe that will spoil things, but we’re gonna try and do another album at some point next year. We̵...
STEVE RILEY Defends VINCE NEIL Over PHIL LEWIS’s ‘Hack’ Comment
Steve Riley has defended Vince Neil over disparaging comments Phil Lewis made about the MÖTLEY CRÜE singer. After CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee said in a recent interview that he and his bandmates tried — without success — to get Vince to sing some of the John Corabi-era MÖTLEY CRÜE material, Lewis chimed in on social media, saying that Vince “has trouble singing his own songs” and calling Neil a “total hack.” The L.A. GUNS singer went on to write that he he “seen Vince live so many times” and insisted that he hates “to see people getting ripped off.” A short time later, Metal Sludge published an article headlined “L.A. Guns singer on Vince Neil’s singing ability: ‘Vince has Trouble Singing his Own Songs – Total Hack'”, promp...
DORO PESCH Says She Once Turned Down PLAYBOY Offer
In a new interview with the “Aftershocks” podcast, German metal queen Doro Pesch was asked about her understated sex appeal and her decision to never flaunt her sexuality the way many of her female musician counterparts have over the course of the last four decades. “I always followed my heart,” the 56-year-old singer said (see video below). “I always did what I felt was right. And I thought that being too sexy, that’s not me — I like it natural, I like it tougher, like a more natural sex appeal. I like the black leather, which now it’s not anymore real leather, because I love animals, so it’s all fake leather, but it looks good. And actually, a couple of times, I really had to fight for staying the way I wanna stay, like my look. “I re...

Take a Dip With Harry Styles in This ‘Golden’ Behind-the-Scenes Video
Harry Styles remembers the 22nd day of September, when he shot the “Golden” music video, and he’s running it back for fans in a new behind-the-scenes clip. Styles recalls the golden highlights of filming the visual for Fine Line‘s opener in the Amalfi Coast in Italy through a vintage camera filter. Between dashing on the street in a primarily unbuttoned white shirt to dipping in the water, the incredibly dapper pop superstar looks like he’s having the time of his life. He even flaunts his Italian skills at the end of the clip, when he greets locals hanging around the socially distant music video set. But Styles located a different coast that was crucial to the song’s inception during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe last Nov...

Yesterday, Hova once again decided to unveil what he’s been jamming to for 2020 and naturally the 40-cut deep playlist includes a gang of Jay’s artists and associates but also some artists you wouldn’t really expect to be on Jigga’s radar. Naturally you’ll find some of Jay’s preferred artists such as Jay Electronica, Beynocé, and Nas, but some surprises included Sault, KeiyaA, and Morray (you know they HYPE!). Notably absent from the playlist is anything from Roc representative turned Trump acolyte, Kanye West. Yes, we know Kanye didn’t drop anything new ...
