Roger Waters Enlists Lucius for Cover of John Prine’s ‘Hello in There’
After music icon John Prine died from COVID complications earlier this year, heartwarming tributes from some of his peers, pals and admirers came pouring in. The latest — a rendition of 1971’s “Hello in There” by Roger Waters and Lucius — ranks up there with some of the best. This version sees the Pink Floyd co-founder carry the first half of the opening verse with an acoustic guitar in hand, as Lucius harmonizes their way through the rest. They come together in the chorus and complete the heartwarming rendition with a cheeky smile from Waters and a slip of “fuck, I miss him.” Waters previously shared an emotional version of Prine’s “Paradise” shortly after his death in April. The cover is part of Newport Festival’s 86-minut...

DEEP PURPLE’s IAN GILLAN Loves Singing ‘Smoke On The Water’: ‘It’s Like A Congregational Euphoria’
In a new interview with Greg Prato of Songfacts, DEEP PURPLE frontman Ian Gillan was asked what the “few red lights and a few old beds” are that he sings about in the band’s classic song “Smoke On The Water”. He responded: “That’s the hotel we moved into — the Grand Hotel — after the casino burned down during the Frank Zappa concert we were at. And that’s what the song is all about. We ended up at the Grand Hotel, and it was very bright, so we changed the light bulbs. We got some red light bulbs, and we used the bed mattresses as sound baffles. We set the gear up in the hallways and the corridors of the hotel, and THE ROLLING STONES‘ mobile truck was out back with very long cables coming up through the windows. We tried to re-create an ...
ALICE IN CHAINS’ JERRY CANTRELL Says METALLICA’s JAMES HETFIELD Is A ‘Rock Icon’ And ‘Godfather’
ALICE IN CHAINS‘ Jerry Cantrell has paid tribute to James Hetfield on the METALLICA guitarist/vocalist’s 57th birthday. Speaking to Metal Hammer magazine, Jerry said: “What makes James such a great frontman is his physical presence. Nobody else commands the same kind of respect and attention without it being self-seeking or egocentric. He’s all about the music; all about the fun and the celebration and the connection with the fans. And that, to me, is really inspiring. Especially because he’s done this for so long, and he’s been at the top of his game for so long and he continues to search for a deeper meaning. He took an underground thing and took it worldwide. “METALLICA is a huge thing for me and for any hard rock or metal band,” he added....
Beyoncé’s Black Is King Film Glorifies Her Message of Black Empowerment
Beyoncé has one-upped herself as she continues to redefine the “visual album” — from 2006’s humble B’day anthology to 2013’s world-stopping self-titled and 2016’s powerful journey through womanhood with Lemonade. Now, the megastar has achieved a creative pinnacle with Black Is King. Released this past Friday (July 31) on Disney+, the visual album continues Beyoncé’s partnership with the House of Mouse following 2019’s live-action The Lion King. The artist-curated a soundtrack, Lion King: The Gift, which was presented as her “love letter to Africa.” Nearly a year later, the 85-minute Black Is King brings those songs to life through spectacular music videos threaded with voiceovers that reflect the beloved “circle of life” tale. Beyoncé traveled across three continents to solidify Blac...
