Meadow and A.J. Reunite in Sopranos-Themed Super Bowl Commercial: Watch
Super Bowl ads have a proud tradition of playing on nostalgia, and in the first half of the big game, few ads captured that quite like the “New Generation” commercial for the all-electric Chevy Silverado. In this pitch-perfect recreation of The Sopranos opening credits, Jamie-Lynn Sigler (who played Tony Soprano’s daughter Meadow in the iconic series) drives her shiny new brand name car from New York to New Jersey as the Alabama 3’s “Woke Up This Morning” plays. The ad packs a little more of an emotional punch with its “new generation” theming and reunion of Sigler and Robert Iler (who played Tony’s son A.J.) at the end — a wistful reminder of the passing of James Gandolfini, because car commercials can simultaneously make us want to buy a new vehicle and also bring tears to our eyes, if t...
Moon Knight Embraces the Chaos in New Super Bowl Commercial: Watch
Embrace the chaos. Marvel Studios shared a new teaser trailer for Moon Knight during the 2022 Super Bowl. Watch the new commercial below. While the dialogue coming from Oscar Isaac (Steven Grant/Marc Spector/Moon Knight) and Ethan Hawke (cult leader Arthur Harrow) is the same as the previous teaser, the new spot reveals a ton of new footage. In addition to clips of our hero morphing into Moon Knight amid eerie shots of the sun setting behind the Great Pyramids of Giza, we see him battling a group of thugs in ways that show of his crescent cape and darts. We also get a glimpse of Harrow’s powers, which are apparently connected to his staff and the pyramids themselves.

Jim Carrey Resurrects The Cable Guy for Verizon Super Bowl Ad: Watch
The Cable Guy is back! Jim Carrey dusted off his character Ernie “Chip” Douglas from the 1996 film The Cable Guy to star in Verzion’s Super Bowl commercial. Watch it below. In the ad, the actor announces himself from behind the door of a prospective customer, only to be told she doesn’t need cable thanks to Verizon’s 5G internet service. “Never heard of it,” an unconvinced Cable Guy responds. Carrey then continues with his character’s famous lisp on full display. “So somehow, your home is corrected to Verizon’s ultra-fast 5G network wirelessly without miles and miles of this,” he shoots back, holding up a length of cable to the camera. “Mmhmm, yeah right.” Advertisement Related Video While this is bad news for the longevity of the character’s chosen career path, he can’t help but beg to se...

New York Mayor Eric Adams Proposes To Ban Drill Music From Social Media
New York Mayor Eric Adams is seeking to ban drill music from social media platforms. In a recent speech regarding the death of 18-year-old drill rapper Jayquan McKenley/Chii Wvttz, who was shot and killed in Bed-Stuy earlier this month, Adams stated that he will sit down with social media companies and remind them that they “have a civic and corporate responsibility.” He continued, “We pulled Trump off Twitter because of what he was spewing, yet we are allowing music displaying of guns, violence — we’re allowing it to stay on these sites.” Adams also revealed that he was made aware of the genre when his son Jordan Coleman, who works for JAY-Z‘s Roc Nation imprint, sent him videos. “I had no idea what drill rapping was, but I called my son and he sent me some videos, and it is alarming,” th...
KROKUS’s MARC STORACE Wants To ‘Bury The Hatchet’ With DEE SNIDER: ‘It’s Not Worth Going To The Grave Carrying A Burden Like That’
KROKUS vocalist Marc Storace has once again said that he is ready to put his band’s long-running feud with TWISTED SISTER‘s Dee Snider behind him. In his autobiography, “Shut Up And Give Me The Mic”, Snider had nothing nice to say about KROKUS. For an entire chapter, he raged about the band, calling them “Krapus” and stating, “You have no idea how close you came landing on the bottom of a lake.” The reason for his outburst: KROKUS commissioned Snider‘s wife Suzette in 1982 to sew stage outfits for the band’s U.S. tour, but the former KROKUS tour manager refused to pay her for her services. “These guys ripped off my wife and threatened her,” said Snider, who pointed out that his wife’s mother emigrated from Switze...

In a recent interview with RadioactiveMike Z, host of the 96.7 KCAL-FM radio program “Wired In The Empire”, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz spoke about the influence of METALLICA on his musical upbringing. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “James Hetfield has pretty much shaped the guitar player that I am. I grew up on METALLICA, pretty much. Those riffs taught me how to play guitar. Asked what his introduction to METALLICA was, Adam said: “It was a friend of mine at school. I’m a late bloomer, man. Right when ‘…And Justice For All’ came out [in 1988], that’s when I was, like, ‘What the hell is this? This is so sick.’ And then I kind of worked my way backwards. I feel like the entire catalog, from the ̵...
New URIAH HEEP Album Has Been Mixed
In a new interview with Danny Stoakes, URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box spoke about the progress of the recording sessions for the legendary progressive rockers’ 26th album. “We’ve just finished recording it,” he said. “We just okayed all the mixes from [producer] Jay Ruston. He did [2018’s] ‘Living The Dream’. He’s been doing it. And he’s out in L.A. so he’s been sending the stuff. I just sent around a load of titles for everyone to pull one out of the bag… And then we’ve gotta do the artwork, of course. Once the title’s been delivered, the artwork has gotta come with that, and then all the credits and everything else and lyrics and all that stuff. So that takes a bit of time. Plus with everything that’s happ...
