Roger Waters Rips David Gilmour Over Pink Floyd Website Access: ‘David Thinks He Owns It’
If you thought that time would soften the forever-going feud between Roger Waters and David Gilmour, think again! In a video posted on Tuesday, Waters ripped his ex-Pink Floyd bandmate, saying that Gilmour has cut off his access to the Pink Floyd website and that Gilmour thinks he owns it. “Nothing from me is on the website — I am banned by David Gilmour from the website,” Waters said, clearly irked. “I think he thinks because I left the band in 1985 that he owns Pink Floyd, that he is Pink Floyd and that I’m irrelevant that I should keep my mouth shut. We’re all welcome to our opinions,” he said later on. Things have been on-and-off since 1985, when Waters left the band and wanted to take hold of the Pink Floyd name. He sued his former bandmates over the name and they ...

Billy Corgan Gives Unplugged Performance of ‘Hard Times’ on Tonight Show
Back in January, Billy Corgan revealed that the Smashing Pumpkins were working on new material. But since then, the global pandemic hit and well, things have changed a little bit, to put it mildly. However, he did “stop by” The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: At Home Edition on Monday night (May 18) to perform solo. Rocking a black bucket hat and some quarantine scruff, the Smashing Pumpkins lead singer performed “Hard Times,” which is off his 2019 album, Cotillions that he released as William Patrick Corgan. While it’s not the usual sound many are used to from Corgan, the unplugged track had lyrics that fit perfectly with what we’re all feeling right now.

Peep The Trailer To Spike Lee’s Vietnam Film ‘Da 5 Bloods’ [Video]
Source: Netflix / Netflix t’s been more than a year since we learned that Chadwick “Black Panther” Boseman was cast in Spike Lee’s newest project, Da 5 Bloods. While it may sound like a film about gangbanging, it’s actually much deeper than that. The Oscar-winning director’s latest film centers around four African-American Vietnam veterans – Paul (Delroy Lindo), Otis (Clarke Peters), Eddie (Norm Lewis), and Melvin (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.) – who come together to fulfill a pact made when they were young soldiers serving on the front lines of Nam. Now well into their senior years, the four men return to Vietnam five decades later to not only retrieve the remains of their deceased squadron leader (Chadwick Boseman), but also dig up a treasure chest filled with enough gold to have them set fo...

I’m like, it was so hard to not pick you in that one moment because you’re so, so gifted.R...
