Nita Strauss, the Los Angeles-based guitar shredder for the ALICE COOPER band, spoke to Toronto’s 94.9 The Rock radio station about what it has been like to work with legendary Canadian producer Bob Ezrin on Alice‘s upcoming follow-up to last year’s “Detroit Stories” album.

Ex-MEGADETH Guitarist CHRIS POLAND Hasn’t Spoken To DAVE MUSTAINE In Nearly Two Decades
In a new interview with Pierre Gutiérrez of Rock Talks, former MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland reflected on the lawsuit he reportedly filed against Dave Mustaine over the 2004 reissue of the band’s “Rust In Peace” album, which contained demos on which Chris performed. “I know there was some flak after when [Dave] released the demo solos or whatever,” Poland said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “And I couldn’t get hold of Dave. I called his manager 10 times and finally, on the eleventh time, I left a message. I said, ‘If you don’t call me back, you’re gonna be hearing from [my attorney].’ And so he calls me back. And then he insults me and tells me, ‘Well, Chris, all you did was a couple of solos and Dave and us t...
Cate Le Bon: Pompeii
“Faced with a choice, do both,” Brian Eno once proffered. On Cate Le Bon’s apocalyptically titled but sky-reaching sixth album, the Welsh art-pop iconoclast orients her bemused songs by the compass of this oblique strategy. Le Bon collages the saxophones and bass grooves of Pompeii into a heady harmonic mix of psychedelia and pop, awe and bewilderment, amplifying both her criss-crossing inscrutability and the inexhaustible pleasures of clarity. These inquisitive songs feel, to borrow a word from one of her lyrics, “multidirectional.” Now based in California’s Mojave Desert—a peculiar, austere, and immersive landscape, not unlike that of her songs—Le Bon has been making records for her entire adult life. But she likened the process of her last, 2019’s Reward, to writing a first album. She h...
