Slipknot bassist Alessandro “Vman” Venturella has updated his mask, enlisting the talents of visual artist/sculptor Hedi Xandt to craft the new piece. Venturella first donned this latest iteration of his onstage attire last week. According to Xandt, “Its design nods to earlier incarnations of V Man‘s face and references Italian expressionist sculptures ravaged and converted into a mask by brute force. This ‘slashed’ appearance is one of three different designs.”

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

There was nothing quite like the glam metal movement of the 1980s (and 1990s, honestly). Loud music, loud hair, loud outfits, and loud audiences were the main elements of the notably visual genre, and few genres have matched its energy since before the turn of the century. Big names like Skid Row and Mötley Crüe were popular glam metal bands at the time, but there were also a few lesser-known and very underrated glam metal bands from that era that deserve some credit. Let’s look at four examples!
