In a new interview with Radioactive MikeZ, host of the 96.7 KCAL-FM program "Wired In The Empire", LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe was asked which METALLICA album he thinks is better, "Ride The Lightning" or "Master Of Puppets". He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "'Ride The Lightning' all day long. I think 'Master Of Puppets' overall, it sounds better as a record, and they were better players by then. But I think 'Ride The Lightning' is more ferocious, particularly the opening track, 'Fight Fire With Fire', which I did at the Dynamo Festival [in the Netherlands], I believe it was, with Craig [Locicero] from FORBIDDEN and a bunch of other guys from the [San Francisco] Bay Area. He did the Bay Area thrash attack thing. It's so aggressive, 'Ride The Lightning'; it's just so incredibly aggressive and at times breakneck, whereas I think perhaps 'Master Of Puppets' is — that's kind of the classic album, more well-rounded, I think, but as far as my favorite, it's definitely 'Ride The Lightning'. And as far as aggressive straight-up thrash, I think it's more aggressive, dude. I just love it. I love that album, to this day."

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

In a new interview with Bloodstock TV's Oran O'Beirne, FORBIDDEN guitarist Craig Locicero once again confirmed that he is working on new music from the resurrected band. He is collaborating on the material with the rest of the new FORBIDDEN lineup, consisting of Matt Camacho (bass),alongside the group's latest additions, Norman Skinner (vocals) and Chris Kontos (drums). Asked if fans can expect the new FORBIDDEN album in 2025, Craig said in part (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "There's a plan. It's been pushed back a few months, but everything's laying out the way I was hoping it would. We're writing [the material], and I've got the beginnings for a lot of [songs]. And when I say beginnings, I mean they're structured and we just need to work out all the parts for everybody else. Some are more put together than others, but that's the way FORBIDDEN has always been. And I just wanna jell for the next six months and then get in the studio and nail it. And we're gonna release a couple of songs at the beginning of the year on our own."

After the release of 1989’s Nothing’s Shocking and 1990’s Ritual de lo Habitual, Dave Navarro was a wunderkind teetering on guitar hero status with Jane’s Addiction. The band had it all: a poet turned vocalist in Perry Farrell, a punk-loving bassist in Eric Avery, a technical monster on drums in Stephen Perkins, and Navarro, an alt-meets-metal player with an affinity for shreddy yet spanky solos. Jane’s helped usher in the alt-rock revolution with swagger, style, and a decidedly non-grunge sound.
