Tool Drummer Danny Carey Arrested for Alleged Assault at Airport
Tool drummer Danny Carey was arrested on Sunday night (December 12th) for an alleged assault that took place at the airport in Kansas City, Missouri. According to TMZ, Carey apparently got into a physical altercation with another person inside of the terminal. Carey was in his home state of Kansas this past weekend to play drums in the stands with the University of Kansas band during the school’s home basketball game against the University of Missouri. TMZ cites sources as revealing that police were called regarding a disturbance involving Carey and another man. The drummer was then taken to a nearby police station and booked for misdemeanor assault.

J.K. Rowling Spouts Transphobic Nonsense About Thing That Hasn’t Happened
In Mother Night, Kurt Vonnegut compared the bigoted mind to a clock with missing gears — a “cuckoo clock in Hell” which can keep perfect time for long stretches, but which makes sudden, unimaginable leaps. Author J.K. Rowling made one such leap on Sunday, taking a piece of news — Scotland is considering amending a law to make it easier for people to self-identify their gender — and jumping straight to the most upsetting (to her) possible consequence of such a law, where cisgendered women who have just been raped will be informed by police that their penis-possessing rapist is female. Even though this hasn’t actually happened in real life, even though the Gender Recognition Reform Bill hasn’t even gone to a vote, and even though women — cisgendered and otherwise — are already capa...
MacGruber’s Jorma Taccone and John Solomon on the Influence of Walker, Texas Ranger and Who Ruined Takes on Set
From Saturday Night Live sketch to Pepsi commercials to cult classic film to now an original series, one thing remains true about MacGruber — he just can’t be stopped. The fan-favorite character played by Will Forte, created from a grab-bag of ’80s action movies cliches, continues his journey of throat-ripping and dick-punching on Peacock in eight episodes that, according to director Jorma Taccone, held nothing back. In fact, in a Zoom interview with Consequence, Taccone said that there was nothing he, Forte, and co-creator John Solomon felt was too ridiculous to include in the series. “There was nothing that we were told no about, and there was nothing that the three of us looked at each other like, ‘We shouldn’t do this.’” As Taccone explained, the only time they were ever told “no...
Kanye West Makes Surprise Appearance During Future’s Set at Rolling Loud: Watch

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE Frontman: METALLICA’s Black Album Was First Record I Ever Bought
Guitarist/vocalist Matt Tuck of Welsh metallers BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE spoke to Germany’s Guitar about how he first started playing music. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUT.NET): “There was literally one thing that started it all. I always grew up listening to music. My dad, he wasn’t a musician but he was a music fan. And his taste was rock and kind of more singer-songwriter stuff. So I grew up listening to — with no choice of my own; it was just always on in the living room, just playing in the background — like, LED ZEPPELIN, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, THE EAGLES, FLEETWOOD MAC. So I grew up just having this thing implanted in my head even before I knew it. And then one day I was watching TV. MTV was on, and [METALLICA‘s] ‘Enter Sandman’ came...
