Corey Taylor to Machine Gun Kelly: Don’t “Talk Shit” About “Bands That Have Been Doing This for 20 F**king Years”
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has shared a further explanation about his beef with Machine Gun Kelly, telling a crowd on the recent ShipRocked cruise that the rapper turned pop-punk singer doesn’t get to “f**king run [his] mouth about bands that have been doing this for 20 f**king years.” As we previously detailed in a comprehensive timeline of the feud between Taylor and Machine Gun Kelly, the bad blood seemed to start when Taylor apparently referenced MGK during an early 2021 interview, saying, “I [hate] the artists who failed in one genre and decided to go rock — and I think he knows who he is.” Machine Gun Kelly then called out Taylor and Slipknot when both acts were playing Chicago’s Riot Fest at the same time on different stages. “You all want to know what I’m happy that I’m not doi...

CLIFF BURTON Was ‘So Nervous’ When GEDDY LEE Came To See METALLICA Perform
As part of METALLICA‘s 40th-anniversary celebrations, the band’s longtime photographer Ross Halfin was the subject of a 90-minute question-and-answer session with Steffan Chirazi, the editor of METALLICA‘s fan-club magazine So What!, on December 18, 2021 at Elk’s Lodge in San Francisco, California. Ostensibly to discuss Halfin‘s book documenting METALLICA‘s “Black” album era — “Metallica: The Black Album In Black & White” — the conversation also looked back over Halfin‘s career, focusing on his decades of work with the band. METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett dropped in for a chat too, and the audience chipped in with several questions of their own. Reflecting on one of METALLICA‘s early tours, Hammett said: “G...

Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below (courtesy of registered YouTube user Justin West).

TOBIAS FORGE Talks About Advantages Of Being GHOST’s Leader And Primary Songwriter
In a new interview with Full Metal Jackie‘s nationally syndicated radio show, GHOST leader Tobias Forge was asked what the benefit is to being the primary songwriter in the band. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The good thing about that is since I don’t play one role in a band where there’s, like, five other egos, it’s easier for me to [go], ‘No, no, no. We can skip the solo here. I can move this solo around. Wait a minute — I can take this little bass part. I can do this little guitar part on the piano instead or the organ.’ Try saying that to a guitar player. If it’s his piece, if it’s his little thing, his moment to shine, that’s gonna cause problems whereas when you’re doing it my way… At least from m...
Watch GEOFF TATE Perform QUEENSRŸCHE’s ‘Empire’ And ‘Rage For Order’ Albums In State College, Pennsylvania
Fan-filmed video footage of Geoff Tate‘s January 26 performance at Stage West in State College, Pennsylvania can be seen below (courtesy of YouTube user “Jim Powers“). Tate‘s current tour is celebrating the 30th anniversary of QUEENSRŸCHE‘s “Empire” and “Rage For Order” albums. 1986’s “Rage For Order” introduced a much more polished look and sound for QUEENSRŸCHE. The album featured keyboards as prominently as guitars, and the group adopted an image more closely associated with glam rock or glam metal than with heavy metal (of which glam metal was a subgenre). A video was filmed for the song “Gonna Get Close to You”, originally recorded in 1984 by DALBELLO. Released in 1990, “Empire” included th...
Flume Reimagines PinkPantheress’ “Noticed I Cried” With Trippy Drum & Bass Remix
In the spirit of PinkPantheress‘ to hell with it remix EP, Flume throws caution to the wind, trying his hand once again at drum & bass music. Perhaps after seeing the reception of 2020’s single “The Difference” (with Toro y Moi), Flume was inspired to dig deeper into his affinity for energizing drum & bass. PinkPantheress’ original “Noticed I cried” had laid the potential groundwork for a feverishly rhythmic remix, and leave it to Flume to deliver in spades. Flume pins a dizzying PinkPantheress vocal loop at the center of the track, creating a trippy atmosphere. He plays up these psychedelic aspects as the track progresses with frenetic vocal pitch bends and distortion. As the vocals gradually swirl into the background, space is made f...
Zouk Group Shakes Up Sin City With Unmatched Roster of 2022 DJ Residencies
Zouk Group is gearing up for a momentous sophomore year in Sin City with an unmatched lineup of electronic dance music talent. Singapore’s Genting Group, parent company of Resorts World and Zouk Group, made a $5 billion splash in Las Vegas in the summer of 2021 while ushering in an unmissable slate of entertainment experiences. As the latest major development on The Strip in over a decade, Zouk had a lot to prove. On paper it was hardly an ideal time for a new nightlife venture given the macroeconomic backdrop of the pandemic, but Zouk met the moment. Amid the seasonal debuts of their Ayu Dayclub and Zouk Nightclub experiences, the organization leaned on their international reputation amongst world-traveling artists and their teams as an industry leader in hospitality to co...
DJ Fresh Revives Beloved Early 2000’s Drum & Bass Imprint, Breakbeat Kaos
Breakbeat Kaos, one of the industry’s most beloved record labels for drum & bass music, has relaunched at the direction of DJ Fresh. In the early 2010s, Fresh achieved world recognition for hit tracks like “Gold Dust” and then—alongside Rita Ora—became the world’s first artist to top the U.K. charts with a drum & bass single, according to UKF. He did the same with 2011’s timeless dubstep song “Louder.” As his career boomed, releases on Breakbeat Kaos began to wind down. By that point, however, the imprint had already released a slew of early career singles from future household names like NERO and Chase & Status. They also released Hold Your Colour, the debut album from legendary drum & bass group Pendulum. Recommended Articles None...
