Metallica Share Video for New Song “Screaming Suicide”: Watch
Metallica have shared another single from their forthcoming LP 72 Seasons. The new track is titled “Screaming Suicide,” and the band collaborated with “Lux Æterna” director Tim Saccenti again for the video. Check it out below. The band shared a brief statement about the inspiration behind the song: “Screaming Suicide” addresses the taboo word of suicide. The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside. It’s ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another, I believe most people have thought about it. To face it is to speak the unspoken. If it’s a human experience, we should be able to talk about it. You are not alone. Metallica announced 72 Seasons, the follow-up to 2016’s Hardwired…to Self-Destruct, in November wit...

In a statement about “Gonna Be You,” Diane Warren said: When I wrote “Gonna Be You” for 80 for Brady, I wanted to write a song that celebrated these women’s deep friendship.

Lewis Capaldi Pauses U.K. Concert After Fight Breaks Out in Crowd
Lewis Capaldi had to stop midway through his show at London’s O2 arena on Wednesday night after a scuffle erupted in the audience. The Scottish crooner was reportedly partway through his 2019 single “Hold Me While You Wait” when two attendees in the pit started fighting. “They are scrapping in the crowd there. Erm, we are going to have to get them out. We can’t be fighting,” he said, according to NME, after signaling to the band to cut the music. “What a weird song to fight to. Bizarre, bizarre,” Capaldi added once the audience members in question had been removed from the venue. At that point, he directed the action for the evening back to the stage by starting the song — which was a top five hit on the U.K. chart from his debut album Divinely Inspired to a Hellish Extent — over from the ...
RBD Announces 2023 Soy Rebelde Tour: ‘We’re Closing a Cycle of Our Lives That Was Spectacular’
Not many artists or bands have moved masses like RBD did back in the early 2000s when they performed sold-out shows at stadiums and arenas across the globe. Twenty years later, they’re poised to do it all over again with a newly announced world tour slated to kick off later this year, which will mark their highly-anticipated reunion since disbanding in December 2008 after their last show in Madrid. The Mexican pop band — comprised of Anahí, Dulce María, Christian Chavez, Maite Perroni and Christopher von Uckermann (Alfonso Herrera will not join his bandmates) — is set to visit Mexico, Brazil and the U.S. In total, the 26-date stint will tour 10 stadiums and 16 arenas. The Live Nation-produced trek will kick off in El Paso, Texas, at the Sun Bowl Stadium on Aug. 25 and will make...
David Crosby’s 10 Best Songs, With Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Byrds, Solo & Beyond
Some years ago, David Crosby lamented a lack of outlets for his songs. “I’ve written so many things,” he explained while promoting the early 2000s, when he felt he was experiencing a creative renaissance. “When you’re in a band they got tossed in with everybody else’s songs. And no record company wants to release as much music as I’m ready to. It’s a struggle, man — but I just keep writing and keep creating, and one day hopefully everything that I want to will come out.” Despite that, we’ve heard plenty of songs over the years from Crosby, who died Thursday at 81. Whether on his own or with The Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young), CPR and, most recently, the Lighthouse Band, Crosby’s idiosyncratic touch with a melody and a lyric was showcased in abundance. Intimate and personal,...
Dallas’ Legendary Longhorn Ballroom to Reopen
Texas promoter Edwin Cabaniss with Kessler Presents has announced plans to restore Dallas’ Longhorn Ballroom. The notorious nightclub was once owned by Chicago mob associate Jack Ruby, who famously shot and killed John F. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald as he left Dallas Police headquarters on Nov. 23, 1963. The Longhorn opened in the 1950s as singer Bob Wills’ Ranch House. It was later operated by recording artist and record label boss Dewey Groom through the ’60s and ’70s, hosting concerts by Nat King Cole, Patsy Cline, T- Bone Walker and many more. Cabaniss plans to incorporate the venue’s long history when it reopens this spring, in part with the original museum-style display cases built into the walls. The venue has traded hands a number of times in recent years and close...
