“She was living off a tightness in her chest: life.”
Legendary Ozzy Osbourne has still been excluded from getting the COVID vaccine. However, he isn’t hesitant about getting the shot, even with all the ignorant accusations and conspiracy. His overall thought process is that he’s put so much shit in his body (and “snorted everything snotable”) how can the vaccine do much worse?
David Bowie wrote perhaps his most career-defining single in the early 70s titled ‘Changes‘. The song marked his chart debut and became the anthem of youth’s freedom. ‘Changes‘ is a reflective song about defying your critics and stepping out on your own. The lyrics read “And these children that you spit on/As they try to change their worlds/Are immune to your consultations/They’re quite aware of what they’re going through.” The single was nothing but a masterpiece.
KAISER and the Machines of Creation (also known as KMC3) recently released their brilliant album titled ‘Flowers and Lies.’ While individual songs are reminiscent of soft 70s rock, others are utterly eerie, unique, and quite heavy hitting. The overall album was beyond satisfying.

They put out their first single on May 2, 2018, titled ‘Toast Tuesday.’ With four other singles and an album available on Spotify, they plan to publish ‘Absolute Disaster’ on February 12.
The song Basket Case featured in Green Day’s album Dookie was shockingly written in the group’s headquarters. A place of which singer Billie Joe Armstrong ate, smoked, slept, and recovered from harsh performances. It was less of a crashpad than it was a shabby student basement in California college of Berkley. At the time, Billie was only 22 years old, and he heavily struggled with panic and anxiety-related disorders. Not only that, but the band was still trying to pick their feet up from the ground. They weren’t one of those groups that make the classics without really breaking a
Recently Neil Young has announced the release of 1982’s ‘Island in the Sun’, which has the new title of ‘Johnny’s Island.’ Geffen Records rejected the album. So he set out ‘Trans’ instead.
Actor Evan Rachel Wood opened up about being abused by musician Marilyn Manson this Monday. Wood claimed he started grooming her at a young age and the abused lasted throughout their relationship, which began in 2007 (Wood was 19 and Manson was 38). Wood wrote in the form of an Instagram post, “The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries
The Pretty Reckless’ frontwoman, Taylor Momsen, has recently shared her thoughts on the gender divide in the rock industry. As a little girl, Momsen’s musical idols all happened to be male, but as she tells The Forty-Five, it wasn’t because of what “was going on in their pants.” She worshiped John Lennon, The Beatles, and Chris Cornell because she “connected to what they were saying and what they were emoting.” She continues saying, “You should judge music simply on what’s the best song/who’s the best singer. That should have nothing to do with your sex or gender… Good people are
Looking back on Nirvana, Dave Grohl remembers there to be quite a bit of “dysfunction” inside the band. Though he profoundly mourns Kurt’s death, Dave claims that they wouldn’t have stuck together if they weren’t musically connected. They had blown up without much notice, creating classics and affecting the rock industry in the most beautiful way possible. However, as Dave goes back in time, he titles Kurt Cobain as someone he didn’t know. It’s proven that the band didn’t have a deep personal connection. “Of course, we loved each other. We were friends. But, you know, there was a dysfunction
