Ed Sheeran and Bring Me the Horizon Unleash Collaborative Take on “Bad Habits”: Stream
Following an onstage collaboration at the Brit Awards, Ed Sheeran and Bring Me the Horizon have released a studio version of their heavier take on Sheeran’s smash hit “Bad Habits.” Sheeran and Bring Me the Horizon performed the song together last week during the Brits, the UK’s equivalent of the Grammys, with BMTH adding a metalcore flavor to the pop superstar’s No. 1 single. Sheeran and BMTH singer Oli Sykes traded verses, with the band adding some heavy breakdowns, leading up to Sykes’ screams at the very end. The studio version reproduces the same arrangement while adding some polish to the finished product. For Bring Me the Horizon, the collaboration with Sheeran isn’t as surprising as it may seem. The band has moved away from its deathcore and metalcore sound in recent years, embracin...
Elon Musk Compares Justin Trudeau to Hitler
Elon Musk took a break from murdering monkeys to accuse someone else of acting like Hitler. In a tweet on February 17th, the Tesla and SpaceX founder shared a meme comparing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the infamous Nazi leader. Musk’s indefensible comparison came in response to an article by CoinDesk reporting that Trudeau’s government was sanctioning 34 crypto wallets tied to the ongoing Canadian trucker vaccine protests. Musk, a crypto enthusiast, decided that such an action was tantamount to systematically murdering millions of people. Over a black-and-white image of Adolf Hitler, Musk’s tweet included the text, “Stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau. I had a budget.” Advertisement Related Video This is wrong, not just morally and historically, but factually as well. Musk is...
Paramount Announces New ‘Transformers’ Film Trilogy To Hit Theaters
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paramount / Paramount Pictures Just when you thought the Transformers film franchise was done and over, Paramount Pictures has announced that a new trilogy is on the way and we’re not sure how we feel about that. After making a mess of the first two trilogies that began in 2007 with Transformers and ended 2018 with Bumblebee (which was actually decent) Paramount took to Twitter to reveal that a new trilogy is on the way when Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hits theaters in 2023. We’re not sure why they continue to invest in Transformers films as there doesn’t seem to be a big demand for them, but they’re going all in adding that a new animated series will be debuting on Nickelodeon and another CG theatrical film will be going into production as well. Reg...
