I will write more about the show and both bands in a later post, but for now, enjoy these random pictures from a really kickass concert!
Actually, first and foremost, check out this version of “Nutshell” by Alice in Chains, performed by Magnolia Bayou. This is my favorite AIC song. (Their sets consist of mostly originals, but they throw in a couple of interesting covers.)
Rammstein’s eighth studio album, Zeit, dropped today! You can listen on YouTube or your favorite streaming services (or go buy it if you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that still has a music store). I pre-ordered both a vinyl copy and the special edition CD, but they won’t arrive until next week. What’s the point in pre-ordering? Lol.
Along with the full album being released today, Rammstein shared their third single from Zeit, a track entitled “Angst,” and its official video. Check it out below and spend this glorious day blasting the eleven new songs from our favorite Germans.
In a recent interview with Niclas Müller-Hansen of RockSverige, Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti said that the band’s seventh studio album should be released in September. He also talked about his daughter, why he wanted to cover Frank Sinatra songs, and briefly explained Alter Bridge’s process in the studio. If you want to read the full interview, you can click here.
Along with this welcome news, Alter Bridge has announced a European tour, entitled the “Pawns & Kings Tour,” set to kick off November 1st in Hamburg. Halestorm and Mammoth WVH will be their two supporting acts. For tickets and VIP info, visit alterbridge.com.
