The show was the second of METALLICA‘s two 40th-anniversary concerts which featured different setlists.

SCORPIONS’ KLAUS MEINE: Rock Is ‘Alive’ And ‘Well’
In a new interview with Liz Barnes of Planet Rock‘s “My Planet Rocks”, SCORPIONS singer Klaus Meine was asked if the title of the band’s new album, “Rock Believer”, is a message of sorts for the group’s fans around the world. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Maybe that’s because of the pandemic, it’s all a dialogue with the fans. Especially [since] we are blocked away from the world of touring for such a long time, it’s like you wanna stay in touch with your fanbase. And through the social media today — with the Facebooks, Instagrams and even TikTok [laughs], whatever comes along the way — you have a chance to be in touch with your fanbase and it’s a pretty cool dialogue. You get some feedback to wha...
ANDI DERIS Says It ‘Would Be A Crime’ If Reunited Expanded Lineup Of HELLOWEEN Didn’t Make Another Studio Album
HELLOWEEN singer Andi Deris was asked in a new interview with the “Metal Command” podcast if he thinks the reunited expanded classic lineup of the German power metal band will eventually make another album to follow up last year’s acclaimed self-titled effort. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I would strongly hope so. I mean, as long as the vibe is great, chemistry is great and everybody’s having fun with each other, it would be a crime not to do so and not to plan for a future together. “‘Pumpkins United’ is not only the name for the last tour, I think that’s something like a brand,” he continued. “HELLOWEEN ‘Pumpkins United’, that’s something like a band — a new or something like [that]...
Fade: Kanye West Scrubs Instagram Of All Posts About Kim Kardashian & Their Kids
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marc Piasecki / Getty The saga between between Kanye West and his estranged wife continues. He has scrubbed Instagram after making his private conversations on Kim Kardashian public on social media. As per Page Six the Chicago, Illinois native has apparently given more thought to his recent tactics. It seems he has purposely deleted all posts regarding his very tense relationship with his soon to be his ex-wife from his Instagram account. On Sunday, February 6 the “All Of The Lights” rapper posted a screenshot of a text conversation looking to get in contact with Kim. “Send me Kim’s number” the exchange read. His caption alleged that she thought he wanted bodily harm done to her. “Yesterday Kim accused me of putting a hit out on her,” West wrote. “So...
Bounce: Twitter Remembers J Dilla On What Would Have Been His 48th BIrthday
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Gregory Bojorquez / Getty J Dilla left such an ineffaceable mark on Hip-Hop music and beyond, displaying production mastery that has been imitated widely but never duplicated. The late, great Detroit beatsmith and rapper would have been 48 today, and fans on Twitter are gathering to celebrate his life and legacy. Born James Dewitt Yancey on February 7, 1974, the tale of how the producer once known as Jay Dee morphed into J Dilla began on the east side of the Motor City as the eldest of four children. His parents, singer Maureen “MaDukes” Yancey-Smith and bassist Beverly Dewitt Yancey, passed on their love of music to their children but young James was bitten early by the Hip-Hop bug and the “pause tape” art of sampling classic records. As the story ...
Twitter Reacts To Viral Sip & Paint Video
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: South_agency / Getty A new viral video has spread across social media (and btw, my use of the words “viral” and “spread” will take on new meanings as you continue to read) and folks on Twitter are having a field day with it. What’s going on in the video reportedly took place during a sip and paint event. Now, for those of you who don’t know what a sip and paint event is, it’s one where patrons drink wine while a professional artist leads them in painting their own art pieces. Some of you might be thinking to yourselves: “Bro, we ain’t stupid and you don’t need to explain to us what a sip and paint event is—it’s pretty much in the title.” Well, yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you? However, the people depicted in the video may not have understood the a...
2 Chainz “Neighbors Know My Name,” Nardo Wick ft. Future & Lil Baby “Me Or Sum” & More | Daily Visuals 2.7.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty 2 Chainz has quite the entrepreneur spirit in this rap game, but it seems like the man has an affinity for old school informercials and might be venturing into that side of the game at some point in the future. In his latest visuals to “Neighbors Know My Name,” 2 Chainz trains a group of women on how to pose in front of the camera and bust some moves to sell his VHS tapes on how to cut a rug with the best of them. Chainz doesn’t actually dance but that’s neither here nor there. Nardo Wick meanwhile gets his playalistic on and in his clip to “Me or Sum” calls on Future and Lil Baby to join him at a private affair where the liquor flows like water and the women are as thick as molasses. Check out the rest of today’s drops and some join...

Andy Shauf Shares New Songs “Satan” and “Jacob Rose”: Stream
Andy Shauf is continuing his hot streak today with two new songs, “Satan” and “Jacob Rose.” As per usual for the Toronto singer-songwriter, both songs are centered around his knack for poignant storytelling over pleasant melodies. While “Satan” is a subtly gorgeous acoustic number, its origins are much darker, inspired by Shauf’s upbringing in a strict evangelical household where he wasn’t allowed to participate in Halloween festivities. “The Christianity that I was brought up in said that believers went to heaven and non-believers went to hell,” Shauf said in a statement. “A sort of cartoon-like simplification of ancient texts. So with the lyrics of [“Satan”], I was trying to take this cartoon-like simplification of life (and death) and pair it with a cartoon-like version of this Christia...
Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff Hold Down the House in Cheaper by the Dozen Trailer: Watch
The Bakers still have strength in numbers in the trailer for the Cheaper by the Dozen reboot starring Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff. The film premieres March 18th on Disney+. The trailer opens with parents Zoey (Union) and Paul (Braff) waking up to a “code-red,” or missing the alarm to prepare their ten children for school. The chaotic morning ritual serves as the introduction for each member of the blended family as the parents narrate the familiar tale of two huge households becoming one small army. “We’re not a cult,” Paul assures in the voiceover, before Zoey jumps in to finish his sentence. “But we’re weird. We’re one-of-a-kind all the way.” Advertisement Related Video The trailer flaunts its modern twist on the 2003 comedy starring Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt with a ...
