Carl Bernstein Says 21 GOP Senators Believe Trump Unfit To Lead
Source: Oscar Gonzalez/WENN.com / WENN As President Donald Trump continues his longshot hopes at retaining his seat in the White House, there have been rumblings of Washington regarding his behavior. Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein shared in a series of tweets that nearly two dozen GOP senators have had their fill of Trump and essentially declared him unfit to lead. Bernstein, who gained fame alongside Bob Woodward due to their reporting on the Watergate scandal, shared his recent appearance on CNN in a Twitter thread and explicitly named the senators who blasted Trump in private. I’m not violating any pledge of journalistic confidentially in reporting this: 21 Republican Sens–in convos w/ colleagues, staff members, lobbyists, W. House aides–have repeatedly expressed extreme contem...

Ex-GUNS N’ ROSES Guitarist BUMBLEFOOT Says ‘Chinese Democracy’ Will Be Appreciated More As Time Goes On
Former GUNS N’ ROSES guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal says that the band’s much-maligned 2008 album “Chinese Democracy” is a “one-of-a-kind” record that will be looked upon more favorably by fans as time goes on. Thal joined GUNS N’ ROSES in 2006 and played on “Chinese Democracy”, an album which contained music that had been written before he came into the group. The disc took 13 years to make and was only a modest seller, moving just around half a million copies. Thal discussed his views on “Chinese Democracy” during an appearance on Music Is Win‘s “Guitar Villains” podcast. He said (see video below): “At the time, people were still just going on about how it took this long to make, and it...
Weight Of The False Self – HATEBREED
It might be hard to comprehend at this point, but there are still some people out there who haven’t succumbed to the wonder of HATEBREED yet. Quite how Jamey Jasta and his comrades could do more to ingratiate themselves with fans of heavy music is anyone’s guess. Far beyond diehard, the band have been omnipresent in both hardcore and metal circles for over two decades, and their recorded output has been every bit as consistent as their deservedly legendary live shows. And yes, we know exactly what we’re going to get from a new HATEBREED album in 2020, and, unless you’ve gone completely mad over the last 12 months (which wouldn’t be unreasonable, in fairness to you), it’s hard to think of anything more welcome as we approach a dark and dismal winter. One ...

JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford, who celebrated the 34th anniversary of his getting sober in January, spoke to Backstage Axxess about how being clean and sober since 1986 has affected his live performance as well as his emotional well being. “It is one day at a time,” he said (see video below). “Every time I see a commercial on television for a beer [laughs], I go, ‘God, I would love a cold beer.’ But I know I can’t, because I’d just be in a really sick place, I’d be in an unhealthy place again. “The tough part is living on a day-to-day schedule,” he continued. “It’s even tougher when you’re on the road and you’re surrounded by guys that love to drink, and all my band loves to drink. But I have all the to...
