Rivers Cuomo Once Tried to Start a Metal Band
In a different life, Rivers Cuomo would have fronted a metal band instead of Weezer. In an interview with Kerrang, the musician discussed his previous group Sixty Wrong Sausages and how he initially intended to create metal music. “I was always in bands growing up, when I was in school and when I first moved to LA,” he said. “In those days I was almost anti-punk: I did not like punk music, or the whole punk aesthetic. My attitude was pretty much exclusively metal: practice your scales, your arpeggios, use a metronome and don’t play sloppy. I was anti-nihilist, really.” “Then I got a job at Tower Records where I met this guy named Pat Finn who was 100 percent punk,” he continued. “He had a shaved head, he’d try to grab your testicles, he’d try to get the bo...

This dangerous, toxic, internet screaming match between ‘fandoms’ has to stop,” he began in a series of thoughtful tweets. “I’m 28 years old, so it doesn’t really mean anything to me when some person I don’t know writes a nasty message to me saying things like ‘I used BTS for clout.’ I don’t know what that means- I love those guys and they are super talented.” The singer’s reference to BTS comes after fans of the K-pop boy band accused him of trying to piggyback off the group’s popularity for his own gain o...

Randy Rainbow Channels ‘The Little Mermaid’ to Mock Donald Trump in ‘Poor Deplorable Troll’: Watch
With his poll numbers sinking lower and trailing Democratic nominee Joe Biden, President Donald Trump is facing a difficult general election this November — and now, Randy Rainbow is reminding him of that.
