CHRIS JERICHO Defends FOZZY’s Decision To Play Shows During Coronavirus Pandemic
FOZZY returned to live activity for the first time in seven months earlier this week when the band performed three shows in South Dakota, North Dakota and Iowa. One fan posted a photo from Saturday night’s FOZZY concert in Minot, South Dakota, which appears to show the crowd not social distancing despite the coronavirus pandemic. During his “Saturday Night Special” live stream, FOZZY singer Chris Jericho defended his band’s decision to go ahead with the dates, saying that he was surprised to learn the shows were still on after FOZZY‘s “Save The World” tour was postponed twice. “We actually did [two] shows [so far] this week. And the reason for that is we had our tour — the ‘Save The World’ tour — which was originally booked for Ap...
STEVE RILEY’s Version Of L.A. GUNS Has Already ‘Talked About’ Recording Second Album
Even though Steve Riley‘s version of L.A. GUNS has yet to release its first album, “Renegades”, the band has already discussed using the coronavirus downtime to work on a follow-up effort. “When we started putting ‘Renegades’ together, we had to utilize the Internet, because we all live all over the place, Riley told Indiepower in a new interview (see video below). “And we knew that the budget was short, so we needed to do a nice pre-production via the Internet and exchanging ideas and exchanging full songs that all four of us had written — we wanted to work on those. So we did two months of that. And then we had the guys come over here for nine days and we recorded it. I mixed it for five days and we mastered it for a day. So it was, like, a two-w...
DON DOKKEN Comments On End Of LYNCH MOB: ‘The Whole Planet Has To Be Socially Correct Now’
Don Dokken has commented on George Lynch‘s decision to retire the LYNCH MOB band name. Earlier in the week, Lynch announced that he was ending LYNCH MOB, apparently due to the racial insensitivity of the band name, saying he will no longer record or perform under that moniker. George told Audio Ink Radio: “The [band] name itself, of course, has always been problematic, and now it’s inexcusable to keep the name. So, things have just sort of all conspired. A lot of different events triangulated to this point where it just makes sense on every single level to let it go and wrap it up with a nice neat bow and move on.” Lynch clarified that he will continue to make music and perform, but won’t do so under the LYNCH MOB name. “I’m not going to tour anymo...
Jimi Hendrix’s Japanese Sunburst Guitar Sells For $216,000 at Auction
Jimi Hendrix’s Japanese sunburst guitar went for $216,000 at Auction yesterday, selling for more than four times its pre-auction estimate of $50,000.

When Hendrix moved to London in 1966 to start his Experience and subsequently ascend into rockstardom, he left the guitar at hi...

Madonna Out of Interscope Deal After Nearly a Decade
Sources close to Madonna confirm to Billboard that the Queen of Pop is out of her deal with Interscope after nearly a decade. The iconic singer first inked a three-album deal with Interscope in 2011 at a base of $1 million per LP; with the release of Madame X in 2019, that three-album deal is up, and Madge is eying a new label to call home. While The Sun reports that Madonna is considering a return to Warner Music (which was known as Warner Bros. when she called it home for her series of albums released from 1983-2008), sources tell Billboard that she has not inked a new deal anywhere as of Saturday (Aug. 8) and any talks are in early stages. Warner Music declined to comment for this story. Madonna’s three albums for Interscope include the Billboard 200 toppers MDNA (2012) and Madame...
