Bullshit-Free Music News Roundup For Nov. 21

By Johnny Firecloud @JohnnyFirecloud · On November 21, 2017

Much to accomplish today, so let’s get going.

  1. Linkin Park get an AMA, dedicate it to Chester, get kicked out of AMAs. Man, that’s some clicking clickbait. In reality they just weren’t given the right tickets. They were let back in.
  2. Eddie Vedder covering Warren Zevon for David Letterman. This is special.
  3. Let’s watch pro footage of Stone Temple Pilots unveiling & performing with their new singer.
  4. A dude who’s in a band with Gene fucking Simmons is complaining about Marilyn Manson trying to get publicity. Retarded.
  5. Cedric Bixler-Zavala of At The Drive-In has a personal connection to one of actor/Scientologist Danny Masterson’s alleged victims. Bixler-Zavala’s wife of eight years, Chrissie Carnell Bixler, has now publicly accused Masterson of raping her. There’s a song on the new ATDI album that directly references the assault. 
  6. Guess that’s the end of System of a Down for me. Idolizing grotesque murderers and cult leaders is nearly as fucked up as calling yourself a Lostprophets fan in 2017, or supporting Roy Moore.
  7. Noel Gallagher gets real about his brother, addresses the fact that he’s likely mentally ill.
  8. Sufjan has “outtakes, remixes, & demos” on The Greatest Mixtape, which you can hear now.
  9. He also dabbles in shade-throwing toward Radiohead.
  10. Even Drake is coming out in support of the incarcerated Meek Mill.
  11. Pull your panties out of your asshole, Manchester Arena. Josh smoked a cigarette. You’re gonna be alright.
  12. Corey Taylor continues to speak up about our orange treason goblin president.
  13. Go get ’em, Shirley. Morrissey is not getting away easy on this one.
  14. Foo Fighters show their love for Malcolm Young.
  15. Billy Corgan played NPR’s Tiny Desk concert, and the results were pleasant.
  16. Portugal The Man throw down massive goodness at the AMAs, invite everyone out for drinks after shaming fellow artists simply by playing their instruments live. Because that’s apparently a special thing to do now.
  17. Pink calls out divisive assholes very well. So glad my kids look up to her.
  18. Roger Waters continues to stand for human rights at the expense of art dissemination. And that’s admirable, as is his open-throated takedown of Nick Cave over the issue.
  19. AC/DC singer Brian Johnson posted a heart-aching tribute to Malcolm.
  20. Oh, and in case you’re keeping score at home, Hope Hicks is about to be sincerely and deeply fucked by Robert Mueller. Figuratively speaking.
