  • Faith No More’s Billy Gould Reflects On The 40th Anniversary Of “We Care A Lot”: “To Me, This Might Be The One That Matters The Most”

    Faith No More bassist Billy Gould recently reflected on the 40th anniversary of “We Care A Lot.” He says for him, “this might be the one that matters the most.”

    Gould said the following:

    “Once the music is recorded and it let out into the world, everything becomes subjective: is it better, is it worse, is this the band at its most intuitive or most naive? On a techical level, this one is far from our best work. But in terms of spirit, it’s right up there. A highly willful gang of presumptuous kids, not quite understanding who they were, but yet, clearly feeling where they need to go.

    The band was unknown, so there were no outside expectations. But plenty of freedom and drive, and though we did argue a lot, we were united in the project on a core level..we spent money that we didn’t really have to create a vibe, and when it was finished, we looked at ourselves differently. So to me, this might be the one that matters the most, and set the stage for what was to follow.”

    The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza have revealed that they will be appearing on the December 7 episode of “The Totally Legitimate Business Podcast.” The program will find the band covering a number of topics including guitarist Josh Travis’ absence from their recent reunion shows.

    Here’s a description of the episode:

    “Episode 143 of The TLB Podcast, James is joined by all three guitarists of The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza — Layne Meylain, Eric Burngruber, and Josh Travis — for the most in-depth and exclusive breakdown of the band’s past, present, and future.

    Eric shares what it was like joining Danza and playing Furnace Fest, Josh reflects on his own creative progression, and what the future could hold for the band’s next chapter, and Layne expands on the band’s evolution, the roots of their sound, and the influences that shaped their most iconic riffs.

    They explore the freedom of creating without pressure, making new music in a remote world, “fun” memories for their shared history in the Murfreesboro metal scene, and how Danza’s influence helped define a generation of heavy music. From creative risks to dream tour packages, this episode paints an exciting picture of what Danza V — and the future of Danza — will look like.”

  • PETA Ask Alice In Chains To Change Their Name To Raise Awareness For An Abused Circus Elephant

    PETA are currently seeking help from Alice In Chains to raise awareness about an abused circus elephant named Betty. As part of their efforts, the organization are asking the band to change their name to “Betty In Chains.”

    PETA shared the following letter:

    “Dear Jerry, Sean, Mike, and William,

    Coming to you with a wonderfully strange request from us at PETA. Would Alice in Chains be willing to go by Betty in Chains across social media — for a month — to spotlight a dear elephant who literally spends her life in chains?

    In a nutshell, we’re turning up the volume on our efforts to rescue an elderly, disabled elephant named Betty, who is being forced to perform in roughly 300 circuses each year. Betty’s over 56 years old, was taken as a baby from Thailand, and has been used in circuses for more than five decades. An elephant expert who recently examined Betty warns that she faces a fatal collapse if not immediately retired to a reputable sanctuary.

    By lending (a version of) your iconic name, you could set the stage for freedom, amplify her story to millions, and change the course of history for all animals used in circuses.

    Will you help us show the world that Betty’s not fighting this battle alone?

    Let’s make some noise,

    People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)”

    PETA‘s Senior Vice President of Communications Lisa Lange also issued an additional statement:

    “By the time grunge swept Seattle, Betty had already spent nearly twenty years suffering as a circus prop, and every day that passes with her being hauled from town to town and forced to perform brings her closer to the brink of death. PETA is encouraging Alice in Chains to get loud for Betty with a temporary name change that reminds everyone to Stay Away from animal-abusing circuses.”

  • The Zenith Passage Premiere “Fleshbound Reliquary” Video

    The Zenith Passage have premiered a new video for their new song “Fleshbound Reliquary.” You can check that out below. Vocalist Derek Rydquist commented:

    “‘Fleshbound Reliquary‘ depicts a world and existence where resources have been so ravaged that we are forced to look towards ourselves as the means of production for what comes next.”

    Guitarist Justin McKinney added:

    “Musically, the track features a series of tightly interlocked rhythmic motifs executed with laser precision, all within a traditional song structure. The piece is primarily in 3, culminating in a grand, climactic resolution of the main motif that transitions into a powerful 4 feel for an epic close.”

  • Truck Carrying Memphis May Fire’s Equipment Involved In Accident

    A truck carrying Memphis May Fire’s equipment was recently involved in an accident. The driver had to be removed by emergency personnel, but only suffered minor injuries.

    Vocalist Matty Mullins commented:

    “Yesterday started with a phone call we never want to get. The truck carrying all of our equipment hit a patch of ice, lost control, and flipped on the highway. The driver had to be cut out of the vehicle by first responders, but we’re incredibly grateful to be able to say he is safe and relatively unharmed. His safety was our number one priority.

    Some of our gear made it out of the wreckage, but most of our production did not. Video, lighting, and a lot of other pieces were completely destroyed. Our crew showed up in the most unbelievable way. They rallied together, salvaged what they could, and somehow got our essential gear to Chicago so last nights show could still happen. We can’t express how thankful we are for them.

    As of now, we don’t know when we’ll be able to replace the full production on this tour, but we’re looking at every possible option. What we do know is that the shows will go on. This band, this crew, and this community won’t quit.

    To our fans: thank you for being the heart and soul of this tour. Your energy, your voices, your passion, THAT is what makes every night unforgettable. Whether we’re standing in front of a full production or none at all, we’re going to give you everything we’ve got.

    We love you all.”
