Song Of The Week: Deafheaven “Hunter” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbpZPrT4Jqw

“A Metallica's concert at the Las Vegas Sphere on Saturday (Oct. 10), James Hetfield took a moment to call out "other entertainers" who use their musical platform to further an agenda, urging that his band will never do such a thing. During his brief comments between songs, the frontman told the crowd, "Unless you live in Vegas, you've come a long way to spend some time with Metallica. We're grateful for that — your travels, the money you spend, the time it took, thanks for coming to celebrate with us." (Loudwire)

“Turnstile took the stage for their Saturday Night Live debut this weekend, marking a rare live performance by a hardcore band for the late night sketch comedy show that has a contentious history with loud, snarling punk music. As part of their appearance, the band first performed “BIRDS,” with drummer Daniel Fang kicking things off with a hellacious solo. They later returned to rip through a medley of “I CARE”/”DULL,” staged in front of a wall of phones and accompanied by a serious light show. The episode also featured a surprise appearance from Taylor Swift, who presented host Dakota Johnson with a cake for her birthday, meaning that, yes, Swift and Turnstile were in fact in the same room.” (Consequence)

“There’s a lot of people depending on you, let alone all these people buying tickets,” he admits of the pressure he’s been feeling. “For most of my career, I’ve been very triggered by that, in a positive way. But now, with a lack of a clear direction of where to go, I don’t want to have that responsibility on my shoulder. I can carry that when I’m there, but when I’m not there, it’s too tiresome.” (Kerrang)

Dolly Parton was not just a country artist, but she had more rock and roll spirit than most rock bands in history. Her levels of musical talent were matched by her charisma and charity work, which is impressively high. The world is better for having a legend like the Backwoods Barbie in it for 80 great years.

“The Christian metal band Demon Hunter are in the process of suing Netflix over the name of a popular 2025 K-pop movie because of its similarity to their own moniker. The film in question is an animated fantasy movie titled Kpop Demon Hunters. Not only was the movie a massive success but Netflix teamed up with the live event company AEG Presents for a global concert tour that was announced in May of this year. The dates haven't been confirmed yet but it's widely assumed that the tour will launch in 2027. As reported by Complex, Demon Hunter filed a lawsuit against Netflix, Netflix Studios and AEG Presents in California yesterday (Aug. 18) claiming "trademark infringement, false designation of origin and unfair competition" over the Demon Hunter name, which they have gone by for the last 25-plus years.” (Loudwire)
