Mike Patton cancels national anthem performance after waking up “feeling horrible”

Posted on by gestenger94

You want it all but you can’t have it! Rock fans were excited when news broke yesterday that Faith No More singer Mike Patton would be performing the national anthem at the NFL playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams on Saturday evening at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. However, just a few hours before kickoff, Patton broke the news that he would not be singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the football game, after all.

The vocalist, who also fronts the bands Dead Cross and Fantômas, posted the following message on his Facebook account: “Sorry football folks, I woke up feeling horrible. No anthem today for me!”

We reached out to Patton’s publicist, who confirmed the cancellation. The news was also divulged on Twitter by Associated Press reporter Greg Beacham, who tweeted that a violinist filled in for Patton:

Definitely a bummer for fans who were eager to see what the man with the six-octave range was going to do with the national anthem, but we hope Patton feels better in time for Wednesday’s Chris Cornell tribute concert, for which he was just added to the performance lineup.

Stella Donnelly announces debut album, Beware of the Dogs, shares “Old Man”: Stream

Posted on by gestenger94

Stella Donnelly made a splash with her 2018 debut EP, Thrush Metal. Now, the Western Australia native is gearing up to drop her first full-length album via esteemed indie label Secretly Canadian.

Titled Beware of the Dogs, the effort was recorded last June with assistance from producer Dean Tuza. In the studio, Donnelly assembled a backing band comprised of her best friends: Jennifer Aslett (bass), Talya Valenti (drums), and George Foster (guitar).

The forthcoming LP extends the sounds first explored on Thrush Metal, but sees Donnelly taking a more brazen stand: She is not one to be messed with. Through the album’s 13 tracks, the self-proclaimed “shit-stirrer” fearlessly calls out the racists, creeps, and oppressors that litter her life. And in the process, Donnelly reclaims her own sense of power and freedom.

“This album made me feel like I was back in the driver’s seat,” the 26-year-old remarked in a press statement. “It was really liberating and grounding to realize that no one can fuck with this except me.”

Our first taste of Beware of the Dogs comes with opening track “Old Man”. Although infused with warm melodies, it’s a song whose message packs a sharp bite aimed at gross, exploitative men. “Boy, if you touch her again, I’ll tell your wife and your kids about that time,” Donnelly sings. According to the rising songwriter, the track came to her while reflecting on Woody Allen and his troublesome comments regarding the #MeToo movement:

“I came up with the chords and chorus to this song in 2017 around the time when Woody Allen called the #MeToo movement a witch hunt. It was a very strange feeling for me watching the world change right before my eyes and to see that these men who had exploited their power for so long were actually being held accountable for their actions. It made me look back on my experiences as a young woman doing music and certain powerful men who tried to manipulate me and exploit other young women. I needed to write this song for myself because if I hadn’t I would still feel quite angry about things that I probably let slide in my younger, more naive days. I have no intentions of publicly calling out these people but it’s a nice feeling to me knowing that they may hear this song one day and feel perhaps an inch of the humiliation and powerlessness that they inflicted on me back then.”

Check out “Old Man” below via its Fiona Jane Burgess-directed music video.

Beware of the Dogs arrives March 8th. Pre-orders have begun here.

Pig Destroyer song used in torture scene on TV’s MacGyver

Posted on by gestenger94

Pig Destroyer are one of grindcore’s finest, but apparently their music is not for everyone – just ask the title character on CBS’ TV show MacGyver, as he and his cohort were tortured with the band’s track “The Bug” from the band’s 2012 album, Book Burner.

The music blasts while Angus MacGyver and another character are captured in a fallout shelter, forcing the pair to cover their ears with their hands as they writhe in agony. The metal moment happened on the most recent episode of MacGyver, which aired this past Friday.

The band itself got a kick out of the scene, posting video of the clip, along with the caption, “That’s right you heard ‘The Bug’ by Pig Destroyer on CBS’s Macgyver last night!”

[See Also: Marilyn Manson, NIN Songs Used for Torture by U.S. Officials]

When they’re not torturing fictional characters on TV shows, Pig Destroyer are promoting their latest album, Head Cage, which landed on our list of the Top 25 Metal + Hard Rock Albums of 2018. The band last played a show at the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest in Los Angeles, but have no 2019 dates scheduled as of yet.

10 Most Anticipated Legacy Rock Albums of 2019

Posted on by gestenger94

Releases from veteran rock bands and artists can bring a strange mix of emotions.

While we’re always anxious to hear from one of our all-time favorite bands again – an excitement often intensified as the gap between new releases typically widens over time – history also tells us that veteran acts that are several records, or even several decades, into their careers usually have their best music behind them.

That doesn’t mean that Pearl Jam will undoubtedly fizzle out again like they did on Lightning Bolt or that Bruce Springsteen doesn’t have another Born to Run left in him. It just means that we might have to listen a little closer for that spark that made us love a band in the first place. Some might even argue that’s part of the fun.

On this list, you’ll find reunions, reconfigurations, studio stalwarts, road warriors, bands you forgot all about, chart-toppers of both the present and long ago, and the songwriters and shredders behind some of the greatest rock music in history. Are the odds of another game-changing album from one of these artists long? Maybe. But something deep inside also tells us never to bet against anyone on this list.

Release Date: February 8th via Merge Records

Why We’re Excited: Bob Mould makes loud and fast records. That should surprise nobody who has popped in at any point during the workhorse songwriter’s breakneck career. However, what makes every new record so welcome isn’t that it’s bound to be a proverbial (hell, maybe it’s a literal) kick in the ass. It’s that Mould can just as skillfully use his punk rock arsenal to envelop us in an emotional fog of grieving (like 2014’s Beauty & Ruin) as he can project a rainbow across the same sky that’s bombarding us with constant bullshit. And given Mould’s own words on the album and, more importantly, a couple blazing, chin-up/cheer-up singles, Sunshine Rock will largely be doing the latter. Thank god for rainbows. –Matt Melis

Release Date: March 1st via Atlantic and Crush

Why We’re Excited: The best part about the Weezer sketch on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago – besides the fact that SNL devoted an entire bit to our favorite nerd rockers – was that the argument between purist Leslie Jones and fanboy Matt Damon summed up exactly what Weezer fans have been arguing about for decades now. However, while Jones may know Rivers Cuomo better than he knows himself, we have to side with Damon – hey, we meh’d at Pacific Daydream but dug Everything Will Be Alright… – and give the Dave Sitek-produced Black Album and its zombie bastards a chance. Hey, we’re lifers and can’t knock the hustle. –Matt Melis

Why We’re Excited: Go ahead and embed this promise in your gummy skull while crowd-surfing in your private hamster ball: With the announcement of a new album from our favorite experimental Sooners, The Flaming Lips, 2019 got at least a little bit stranger. King’s Mouth, as far as we can tell, seems to be the soundtrack to an immersive, multimedia installation (pictured above). According to the lead Lip Wayne Coyne, the original idea for the art installation began from watching a Japanese game show in which a komodo dragon was loosed on contestants who had cuts of meat strapped to their foreheads, The Clash’s Mick Jones will be narrating the album, and the music blends “medieval baroque sounds with futuristic Mars music.” Um, color us at least curious – not to mention hoping that our vinyl copy won’t have Miley Cyrus’ urine pressed into it. –Matt Melis

The Cranberries

Release Date: TBD

Why We’re Excited: When singer Dolores O’Riordan died this past January, so did The Cranberries. That’s something the remaining band members have been incredibly adamant about over the last year. However, the Irish rockers have one final statement to make with In the End, their eighth studio album that O’Riordan had recorded vocals for prior to her untimely death. “It’s a very strong album,” guitarist Noel Hogan told Rolling Stone back in October, hinting that the songs tag back to their earliest years as a group: “It’s very, very similar, and we deliberately tried to do that. We just said, ‘Let’s go back to the original Cranberries sound.’ And anyone that’s heard it has agreed: ‘Yeah, you managed to do that.’” With that in mind, get ready for an incredibly emotional bookend that should offer some closure to both fans and the band itself. –Michael Roffman

Release Date: TBD

Why We’re Excited: Robert Smith has very little to be sad about lately. The Cure hosted two big soirees in London this past summer and they’re about to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So, it’ll be interesting to see how the goth lord plans to bring the angst to their highly anticipated follow-up to 2008’s 4:13 Dream. A couple of weeks ago, Smith told Sirius XM, “We’re going in about six weeks’ time to finish up what will be our first album in more than a decade. It’s very exciting times for us all around.” He credits this renewed excitement to his own 2018 Meltdown Festival, adding: “Seeing all these new bands inspired me to do something new.” Whether or not the album will include “Step into the Light” and “It Can Never Be the Same”, two new songs the band performed in recent years, remains to be seen. Either way, get that allergy-free makeup ready. –Michael Roffman
