Liam Gallagher Unveils New Song “Everything’s Electric” with Dave Grohl: Stream
Liam Gallagher is surging back with “Everything’s Electric,” the lead single to the Britpop legend’s third solo studio album C’MON YOU KNOW. The one-time Oasis singer-songwriter connects directly back to his 90’s rock roots with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, who nabs a co-writing credit while delivering a Nirvana-reaching drum performance. The song marks their first studio collaboration despite a lengthy history as tourmates, distant admirers, and crowd-surfing concert attendees. They are also joined by Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin, who had previously worked with both artists separately. The title alone recalls the chipper “She’s Electric,” from Oasis’ (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, but on “Everything’s Electric,” Gallagher has the spark himself and he’s going global with i...

And yes, it’s the military in general, not just the Army, that’s ditching its anti-vax service members like they were outdated flip phones.

ROB HALFORD Admits It Was His Idea For JUDAS PRIEST To Tour As Quartet: ‘That Blew Up In My Face, Didn’t It?’
JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford has admitted that it was his idea for the group to announce its plan to embark on the next leg of its 50th-anniversary tour as a quartet. “That all came from me, it didn’t come from the band,” Halford told Billboard, explaining that he thought since the band was founded as a four-piece it would be appropriate to return to that for a 50th-anniversary celebration. “Of course, that blew up in my face, didn’t it? To have done something like a four-piece now would’ve been just not right, ridiculous, insane, crazy, off my rocker, have a cup of tea and relax. It’s kind of water under the bridge now. I think my heart was in the right place, but I’m not the first musician to have a crazy idea.” On January 10, JU...
