The lawsuit alleges that in 2009, Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, flew Bianco to Los Angeles to shoot a video for the song “I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies.” The suit says that Bianco was expected to stay at Manson’s home instead of the hotel where she had been booked, and there was no crew, only Manson himself shooting with a phone.

Twenty One Pilots Lock Horns For Fantasy Battle In ‘Choker’ Music Video: Watch
Scaled And Icy is the followup to 2018’s Trench, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The new album features the previously-released “Shy Away,” which crowned Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in just its third week, a speedy run the likes of which we haven’t seen in a decade. Scaled And Icy is scheduled to drop May 21 via Fueled By Ramen, and was written and largely produced by Joseph in isolation at his home due to the pandemic over the past year, with Dun engineering the drum tracks from across the country. The album is the product of long-distance virtual sessions and finds the duo processing their upended routines along with the prevailing emotions of 2020 – “anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and doubt,” according to a release announcing the project. Twe...

Serj Tankian Thanks President Biden for Recognizing Armenian Genocide: ‘This Is Extremely Important’
Tankian, who lives in Los Angles, was born in Lebanon. His family moved to the U.S. when he was a child, but his grandparents all fled the Armenian Genocide. “Today, I will say thank you to the US and all those who have fought hard for this statement over the years,” he added. On Saturday, which marked the 106th commemoration of Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to officially recognize the systematic deportation and slaughter of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in World War I. It’s estimated that 1.5 million Armenians were killed between 1915 and 1923. The Turkish government continues to deny that a genocide occurred. Over the years, System of a Down — whose members are from Armenian heritage — have strongly advocated f...

50 Reasons We Still Love The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-23T16:05:57+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 12:05pm ET “We’re playin’ on a level that most will never see.” William Forsythe’s Sheriff Wydell says that in the 2005 movie The Devil’s Rejects. It could just as easily be attributed to Keith Richards, circa 1971. From 1968-1972, The Rolling Stones were on an iconic, career-defining run that arguably surpasses that of any of their British Invasion-era peers and tops any four-album stretch by every other rock band. But this creative surge came with an encroaching darkness. Co-founder Brian Jones was a creative and personal liability. He was pushed out, then found dead in his swimming pool. Jagger and Richards skipped his funeral. Related Video...
Yola Announces New Album, Shares ‘Diamond Studded Shoes’: Listen
“The video is in part inspired by the Truman Show and is about being trapped in a false construct,” Yola said in a release. “It is supposedly perfect, but you’re trapped in a life that wasn’t meant for you. I wanted to convey the feeling that everything you know to be true is not quite working the way it’s supposed to. The island at the end is a paradigm of mental conditioning, we are all trapped on an island of our own thinking, until we change it.” The song taps into the civil unrest many have been feeling over the past year. Yola asks listeners “to unite and turn our focus to those with a stranglehold on humanity” instead of falling prey to “the false divides created to distract us from those few who are in charge of the majority of the world’s wealth and...
Ted Nugent, Who Once Dismissed COVID-19, Tests Positive for Virus
Rocker Ted Nugent is revealing he was in agony after testing positive for coronavirus — months after he said the virus was “not a real pandemic.” “I thought I was dying,” Nugent says in a Facebook Live video posted Monday. “I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days,” adding: “So I was officially tested positive for COVID-19 today.” In the video shot at his Michigan ranch, the “Cat Scratch Fever” singer repeatedly uses racist slurs to refer to COVID-19 and reiterates his previous stance that he wouldn’t be getting the vaccine because he claims wrongly that “nobody knows what’s in it.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
