98 Musicians Predict the 2022 NFL Season
Now that Labor Day is in the rearview mirror, it means that football season is finally here. For the fourth season running, we asked a group of musicians to give their insight on how this season will shake out. No one predicted last year’s Super Bowl matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, though a few accurately forecasted that the Rams would take home the Lombardi Trophy. As usual, some fans-turned-musicians are overly optimistic about their team’s chances, while others brace for another season at the bottom of the standings. Will this year be different? We’ll know in February. For now, here’s our collection of predictions.

30 Artists Reflect on Metallica’s Black Album Turning 30
These days, Metallica’s self-titled fifth LP (aka the Black Album) is hailed as a bona fide classic. Quite admirable, considering how upon its 1991 release date, diehard fans spread buyer’s remorse faster than COVID. In this writer’s tenure as a surly clerk for a mall-based record-store chain, he remembers the true believers complaining about everything from the shortened song lengths to James Hetfield’s lyrics to uber-producer Bob Rock’s framing of their heavy metal hellions. Back then, insufferable customers got their cash refunds while others continued to bitch like mad with the subtext that “maybe it would grow on me.” Now 30 years and approximately 35 million sales later, the Black Album is downright canonical. Sure, the Bay Area thrash-metal mavericks were indeed architects (alongsid...

56 Musicians Predict the 2021 NFL Season
Only a few things are certain in this world: death, taxes and the NFL dominating the fall (and winter). Last year’s weird season ended in the familiar fashion of Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl. Snore. This year, with fans returning to full capacity stadiums, it *should* feel like the NFL of recent memory for fans, players and coaches alike. Just like we have for the past two seasons, we’ve asked our expert panel of musicians how they think the season will unfold for their favorite teams. On top of the usual crew, we’ve added a bunch more who aren’t afraid to hit the mat in support of their favorite team. The one wrinkle that threw off a lot of those 8-8 predictions? The 17 game season. It will lead to more strange things and having an extra game to cheer or jeer will make the rest of the...
Kayzo, Sullivan King, and Papa Roach Drop Genre-Crossing Heavyweight Single, “DOMINATION”
Last week, Kayzo, Sullivan King, and Papa Roach announced that they had a dream collaboration on the way. Today, that collab has arrived in the form of “DOMINATE,” out via New Noize Records. “DOMINATION” is a bone-shattering heater designed to break necks. The track is the perfect combination of rock and dubstep, allowing both genres to shine at varying moments. The intro sets a quick, punishing pace for the rest of the song, as Papa Roach exclaims “let’s get fuckin’ rowdy” before any other musical aspect has a chance to make its entrance. Following his the part-starting quip, heavy guitar riffs guide listeners into a relentless barrage of pounding percussion and winding synths. “DOMINATION” is the second collaboration betwe...
Kayzo, Sullivan King and Papa Roach are Dropping a New Song Next Week
In what has the looks of one of the biggest electronic-rock crossovers of the year, Papa Roach, Kayzo, and Sullivan King have teamed up for a dream collaboration. King hasn’t collaborated with Papa Roach until now, but the fabled rock band famously enlisted Kayzo to breathe new life into their iconic nu metal jam “Last Resort” in 2018. As far as the two producers go, they haven’t joined forces on an original track since 2015’s blistering “Till We Die.” King revealed a collaboration between the three on Twitter back in January, lighting a fuse of anticipation that led to today’s official announcement of “Domination,” which will drop on April 16th. The artists have not yet shared an official preview. While there ...
The 50 Best Songs of the Year 2000
The year 2000 looms large in pop culture history: the Y2k non-scare, the Seinfeld “Newmannium” episode, the “In the Year 2000″ sketch from Conan O’Brien’s original late-night show, the Hulu series PEN15. And just like, say, the grunge-defined 1991, the year immediately conjures specific sounds: gleaming teen-pop, earnest radio rock, the Neptunes and Timbaland. There’s never a bad time to revisit this music. But in the middle of a pandemic, with America on the verge of collapse, it feels extra comforting — a blast of nostalgia for a time when you could safely exit your home, visit your local mall’s Sam Goody and buy Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass” CD single. For this list, our only criteria was that the songs appear on albums or soundtracks released in 2000. Here we go. 50. Papa Roach, “Last Reso...
