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.

Keith Richards‘ life is nothing short of extraordinary, a real-life drama that could easily headline a movie titled Surviving Life. As the iconic guitarist for The Rolling Stones, Richards has become a symbol of rock and roll in all its wildest excesses, enduring a relentless cycle of self-abuse that many thought would be his downfall. Yet, despite decades of heavy drinking, smoking, snorting, and shooting up, Richards remains a living testament to both the fragility and resilience of the human body. And he clearly proved everyone wrong that this wild lifestyle would cut his life short.

In a new interview with ProMark Drumsticks, legendary extreme metal drummer Gene Hoglan reflected on assisting Dave Lombardo during the recording sessions for SLAYER's 1984 EP "Haunting The Chapel". Since Lombardo's drum kit was placed on a concrete floor during the recording sessions for the EP, it kept sliding around all over the floor. The solution was to enlist Hoglan's services to physically hold down the drums while Dave pounded away.

“Best Of” lists are subjective no matter the topic, but nothing gets rock and metal fans quite as riled up as when a magazine, website or other media outlet publishes one with some glaring omissions.  A list done by The Mirror last year has begun making the rounds again on social media drawing plenty of negative reaction. Social media posts show the publication’s Top 10 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time, shortened from their original list of 20.

In a new interview with Jorge Botas of Portugal's Metal Global, DARK TRANQUILLITY and THE HALO EFFECT frontman Mikael Stanne weighed in on a debate about the variety of dangers A.I. (artificial intelligence) poses, ranging from the small to, potentially, the existential. Asked if it is scary that A.I. can surpass human capabilities in many domains, such as creativity and problem-solving, Mikael said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Yeah, it is, of course. Yeah, I like technology. I like new ideas. I like new progress. But also I was very hopeful. In my teens, when the Internet kind of started happening, I was, like, 'This is the coolest thing ever. It's gonna change the world just because finally we have access to all the information we need. So nobody has to believe anything anymore. We can just know because the information is there. It's like the best library in the world that is open to everyone. And everybody will have kind of access to the same information.' And I dreamt of the world without religion and belief in pseudoscience and all that stuff. And I was, like, 'Oh, man, imagine.' But, of course, the opposite happened. And it's the same here [with A.I.]. I think it can be a great tool, of course, for a lot of people, and I think we will view it as a great tool in the future, but for now, it does seem scary because we know what can be done. In the wrong hands, these are not tools, but — well, they are tools, but for misinformation rather than to help the creative process or something like that. So that part is scary and we need to be very wary of how it's used and also kind of implement these safeguards so that you can easily actually see if it is something that is altered and not an original thing. But let's see. It's exciting because it's new and it's fascinating… And it's really difficult to wrap your head around, because, yeah, every month there's a new version of things coming out that has new features and new things that can do it so much better. So, yeah, these quantum leaps are happening every six months or more, and it's gonna move even faster. So, yeah, it is scary. I talk a lot about it with some of my journalist friends, and they are worried about it too. Sure, you can go, yeah, A.I. is not gonna replace anyone, but maybe a guy who really knows how to use A.I. will replace someone who doesn't."

Jari Mäenpää is man who likes to take his sweet time. WINTERSUN's music absolutely demand it, of course. Records as detailed and dense as the Finnish entity's hallowed eponymous debut and its eventual follow-up (and this new album's conceptual forebear) "Time I" (2012) cannot be simply dashed off in an afternoon. Even so, Mäenpää's project has now clocked up two decades of semi-active service, with only four studio albums to show for it. Thank goodness that the Finn's meticulous nature is being used for noble purposes.
