Must log in with Google. Upload a pic of your favorite clothed starlet, one click, and she is nude. You get one freebie a day.

Definitely a good use of AI.

Maya Hawke

Has anyone given her a listen? For those you don't know, she's the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. In between acting gigs she sings what is called folk music, but I don't hear it. It just sounds like soft pop. But I will give her credit for writing your own music and lyrics. https://www.you...

Band departures met with jubilation by fans

Who quit their band and fans said thank God in unison? Could be for any reason. Jeff Loomis bailing on Arch Enemy was met with overwhelming approval by fans who felt he was wasting his talent in that band. On the flipside, Anette Olzon's departure from Nightwish was also met with massive approval, b...

Bands where no one are friends

It was common knowledge that the four members of Slayer were not exactly buddy buddy offstage, and Kerry's recent interview with Rolling Stone is only cementing that. There was no animosity, except maybe for Lombardo, they just had nothing to do with each other outside of work. So what other bands a...

Re: Who Didn't Regret Quitting Their Band?

He was fired, but Ron McGovney has said he never regrets losing the Metallica gig to Cliff.

ALl things considered, I'd say Chris DeGarmo has no regrets about leaving the clusterfuck that Queensryche became.

I bet Matt Barlow is glad he left Iced Earth.

She's in her late 70s as well. I'm sure she has given that up.

Same. And when I read Neil came out from the kit and joined his bandmates in taking a bow rather than run off like he always did, it was an "oh shit" moment of realization I'd made a big mistake.

I wonder what Neil's excuse would have been for never playing in Australia and New Zealand? Can't think of very many bands at the level of Rush who never did so much as promo or festival dates in Oceania. 18 hours of white knuckle flight there and back. He's not unique.

The revelations keep coming from Geddy Lee's book. It turns out Neil had a significant fear of flying and simply hid it from his bandmates on their many trips to Europe. He managed to get over it in 1984 for a trip to Japan that would prove the last time the band played there. For the longest time, ...
