  • Paul Stanley Says KISS Will Perform At 2026 “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas” Event

    During a Q&A session at the Indy KISS Fan Expo in Indianapolis, IN, Paul Stanley confirmed that KISS will be taking the stage once again during this year’s “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas.” Futher details regarding that event will be unveiled this month.

    Stanley said the following:

    “So, the funny thing with the KISS Kruise — a couple of things. When we were first approached with the idea of doing a KISS cruise, when we first heard about it, I went, ‘Who is gonna go on a KISS cruise?’ And we’ve had people from 33 countries around the world for every time we went out. So it was amazing. But the crazy part about it is that over the years everybody started doing cruises, so we can’t get a ship most of the time. So last year we decided, I said, ‘Well, let’s do a ‘KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas’.’ So we did that, and it was really fun. Having the band play was amazing and seeing everybody was great. And that was the first one. We’ll do it again this coming year. We’ll do it in November. And as good as that one was, this one’s gonna be so much better, because we learn as we’re going. And this next KISS Kruise in Vegas is gonna be awesome. I mean, we can’t wait to play, and we can’t wait to have the bands we’re gonna have and be with you again. So, pack your bags.”

  • Tom Morello Reflects On Rage Against The Machine’s Ejection From “Saturday Night Live”

    Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has taken to Instagram to reflect on the 30th anniversary of the band’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” The group were infamously removed from the show’s studio following a clash over upside down American flags, an altercation with Steve Forbes’ family, and more. Morello said the following:

    “Today’s the 30th anniversary of RATM’S um, ‘memorable’ performance on SNL. There was a fight onstage between our crew and SNL stage hands moments before our performance, wrestling over some upside down American flags which adorned our amps. Timmy C then attacked host/billionarie/presidential candidate Steve Forbes’ family in the dressing room with a wadded up flag. Secret Service flooded the hallways. SNL cut (censored?) our second song and kicked us out onto the sidewalk. ‘Evil Empire’ entered the Billboard Album Chart at #1.”

  • 311 Bassist Aaron “P-Nut” Wills: “Trump Is Evil, Always Has Been”

    311’s Aaron “P-Nut” Wills has taken to social media to blast U.S. president Donald Trump. The bassist says “Trump is evil [and] always has been.”

    Wills said the following:

    “I just wanted to just, just like, get it out there, that within a week — yeah, I’m going to talk politics so you can get the fuck out of here if you don’t want to hear me talk politics. But within a week, this president, that some of you support still, which is fucking incredible and weird. Within a week, this president has threatened to destroy a civilization, right? Wipe out a people. And within the same week, he has put up a post depicting himself as Christ, ‘healing’ someone. I’m an atheist. I don’t believe in that shit. But if you do, and you know your scripture, right? That’s something the Antichrist would do, right? That’s anti-Christ material.

    So get your shit together, people. He is not looking out for your best interests. Trump is evil, always has been. He’s looking out for himself. The only time he’s done anything good is to ingratiate himself, okay? Get it through your heads.

    Threaten to destroy a civilization? An ancient civilization. One of the pillars of humanity, Iran is so smart. We have no idea. Their literacy rate is miles and miles ahead of us, okay?

    This is easy. This is an easy decision. Okay? You don’t have to be right or left. Just stop supporting Trump, please.”

  • Suffocation Deny Allegations Made By Ex-Drummer Eric Morotti

    Suffocation have commented on the departure of Eric Morotti. The drummer previously claimed he left the group after refusing to “work with toxic, abusive drug addicts.” However, the band have since denied those accusations, while also claiming he was fired.

    Suffocation said the following:

    “To address Eric Morotti’s false claims made in his social media posts on April 10th and to the news outlets who picked it up, Suffocation would like to take a moment to set the record straight.

    Last week, the decision was made by Suffocation to part ways with Eric Morotti due to his conflicting schedule with Sanguisugabogg, which affected Suffocation‘s schedule for the year. Eric was notified of his termination on April 8 by email, which is released with this statement. It is unfortunate that Eric decided to falsify claims and take this to a negative place forcing us to make this statement.

    Regardless, we wish him nothing but the best of luck on his future endeavors.”

    They also shared an email that guitarist Terrance Hobbs sent to Morotti:

    “After a lot of communication with the band and all involved .,,,Eric,suffocation has made the decision to let you go from the band due to scheduling differences and touring obligations…it’s unfortunate as we had a good run last decade!!! So with that being said ,best of luck to you and your music career as well as your up and coming gigs !!!!! If you want you can have wes perhaps come and grab your gear here as i’d like to make space here in the garage before we start our next tours and gigs..”
