BLACK SABBATH’s TONY IOMMI Has ‘Four Or Five Hundred’ Unused Riffs On His Phone
In a new interview with Neil Jones of U.K.’s Planet Rock, BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi was asked if there is a chance of some new music from him being released in the not-too-distant future.

AC/DC‘s Angus Young was the featured guest on BBC‘s “The Rock Show With Johnnie Walker” during the “Rock God” segment.

He combined a lot of elements — he combined blues, a bit of jazz and his own unique style.

He was one of those people, when he got on a sta...

Robert Pattinson’s Batman Was Inspired by Kurt Cobain
Robert Pattinson’s upcoming version of Bruce Wayne was inspired by Kurt Cobain, according The Batman writer and director Matt Reeves. “When I write, I listen to music, and as I was writing the first act, I put on Nirvana’s ‘Something In The Way,’” Reeves explained in a new interview with Empire. “That’s when it came to me that, rather than make Bruce Wayne the playboy version we’ve seen before, there’s another version who had gone through a great tragedy and become a recluse. So I started making this connection to Gus Van Sant’s [2005 film] Last Days, and the idea of this fictionalized version of Kurt Cobain being in this kind of decaying manor.” Reeves said he was convinced Pattinson was perfect for the part after seeing his performance in Good Time. “In that movie you could really ...
