OPETH’s MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT Pays Tribute To BUDGIE’s BURKE SHELLEY
OPETH frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt has paid tribute to vocalist/bassist Burke Shelley of legendary Welsh rockers BUDGIE who died on Monday, January 10 at the age of 71. Earlier today, Mikael took to OPETH‘s social media to write: “I almost choked on my coffee this morning when I read that one of my idols, the great Burke Shelley of BUDGIE had passed away. What a terrible loss! “Most people know BUDGIE as the band that METALLICA covered (‘Breadfan’, ‘Crash Course In Brain Surgery’) ages ago. They remained underdogs in the scene even if they’re there right in the beginning of the creation of hard rock/heavy metal music. “I think Burke was one of those guys who was quite uncomfortable with the heavy metal tag, but it’s undeniable that t...
10 YEARS Announces Spring 2022 Tour, Drops ‘Déjà Vu’ Visualizer
Knoxville, Tennessee rockers 10 YEARS have released a visualizer for the song “Déjà Vu” from the album “Violent Allies”. Guitarist Brian Vodinh states: “‘Déjà Vu’ is a song about trying to tune out the monotonous stuff we face in our everyday lives, and find inspiration in new ways. This relates to our songwriting process, but also to our personal lives as well. We can get stuck in the repetitive cycle of reading the same news, looking at social media, and hearing a rehashed version of the same stories over and over. Sometimes it feels good to check-out, turn off your brain, and connect to other aspects of life.” The lead single from “Violent Allies”, “The Shift”, has been streamed over 9.1 million times on Spotify, wi...

Jim Jones Tells Angela Yee He Has No “Issue” With Freddie Gibbs
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Guillermo Proano/WENN.com / WENN A few weeks ago social media was ablaze with word that Jim Jones and his crew jumped Freddie Gibbs inside the Prime 112 restaurant in Miami. And while there was word that someone did actually record the fight which allegedly included Jim Jones body slamming Gibbs, nothing ever materialized and Gibbs denied the account. Now after weeks of keeping mum on the subject, Capo addressed the topic while doing an interview with Angela Yee on her Lip Service podcast. Yee approached the subject by asking if it was true that he was naming his next album Prime 112 to which Jones stated it was “false.” After the hosts asked if it was a joke, Jim seemed tongue-tied for a second before asking to “skip” to the next topic. After talking abo...
HHW Gaming: Court Upholds Firing of LAPD Officers Who Chose To Catch ‘Pokémon’ Instead of Crooks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SOPA Images / Getty Two LAPD officers had to catch them all, and we’re not talking about crooks. Per the Los Angeles Times, a California appeals court upheld the dismissal of two Los Angeles Police Department officers who thought playing Pokémon GO on the job was more important than stopping a bank robbery going down at the Crenshaw Mall in 2017. According to court records, the California Court of Appeal rejected the claim of the two officers, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell, that the LAPD “improperly used a digital in-car video recording of their private conversations in order to prove their misconduct, and another that they were improperly subjected to questioning about their actions by a supervisor without legal or labor representation present...

GOP Goblin Madison Cawthorn Hit With Legal Challenge To Bar Him From Running Again
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Tom Williams / Getty Voters in North Carolina formally filed a legal challenge to have Rep. Madison Cawthorn disqualified from running for a second term, citing his involvement in the event leading up to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. According to reports, a group consisting of 11 voters from Cawthorn’s home state of North Carolina filed a legal challenge on Monday (Jan. 10) with the State Board of Elections.
