Difference is Rock is soft classic and headbanging
Metal is Heavy Brutal MOSH PITS Devilhorns and BEER 🤘

@Commune
Rock = the cool version of hard music
Metal = the edgy one

Reading more on Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner and it’s increasingly obvious a lot of rock music’s negative reputation today is because of dipshits like him.

@SleepySteve
Does rock have a negative reputation? That’s news to me.

@SleepySteve
Rolling Stone is a joke.

@TheHappySpaceman
I don’t know why Disturbed’s version is disliked, I actually think it’s a good cover of the original

For me, Disturbed’s SoS cover is equivalent in popularity to Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt. It basically surpassed the original.

Eh, what made Cash’s cover so great, IMO, is that it turned what was essentially a suicide note into a more hopeful, optimistic message, even if the meaning of futility is the same.

Rihanna and Beyoncé in the same building?! Holy shit!!!

@Шавкат Рахмонов
Oh yeah, I know that. It would’ve completed it if they had Olivia Newton-John as a surprise artist since she was a famous sufferer of breast cancer

The irony of Miley Cyrus in this video being the youngest and high pitched, is deeper than everyone today. 😂

Vatican Hip-Hop :D

Anyone have any disheartening/demoralizing stories of being a musician? I’ll start.

In 2014, I was playing with my band Dark Matter at a multi-billed gig. We were packing up after our three-song set and the following band really wanted to take the stage, so one of them told my dad to “Get your kids off the stage” (I was 17 at the time).
On its own, it wouldn’t have been too bad yet—I mean, it was dickish, but not more than that—but then the band started “helping” us pack up, and they took my upper keyboard on my two-keyboard setup and and TOSSED IT OFF THE STAGE onto my soft keyboard case below. Thankfully, the keyboard still works, but a number of the keys are still cracked because of that. Also, thankfully, it wasn’t my big synthesizer they tossed off the stage; I would’ve thrown hands then.
Oh, and they also ran off with two of my instrument cables.

I never found out what band it was, but supposedly they never performed at that venue again before it was demolished in 2018.

Congratulations to Drake for his 9th number one song with “Slime You Out” feat. SZA. Right behind One Dance, God’s Plan, Nice For What, In My Feelings, Toosie Slide, What’s Next, Way 2 Sexy and Jimmy Cooks. Uh huh yeah that’s great Aubrey, can you like take a break from recording music now, please?

On this day 32 years ago, jazz pioneer Miles Davis passes away of a stroke and a bout of pneumonia. Most renowned for his records “Kind Of Blue” and “Bitches Brew”, the trumpeter changed and defined the genre of jazz for years to come. He was 65 years old.

After 27 years, the gang leader who is responsible for killing Tupac has been charged with murder today.

@Mr.Myoozik
Man, his music is mighty as can be!

@Шавкат Рахмонов
Finally!

@Шавкат Рахмонов
They finally found who killed Tupac? About time

A long awaited return cometh…

Let’s see if I could come there if I see fit.

Is it a good lineup for you?

@Шавкат Рахмонов
Oi!

I’d see Code Orange and Fleshgod Apocalypse if I could

@Шавкат Рахмонов
Crypta too so excited 😊

So U2 held a concert on that bigass sphere in Vegas and the inside was incredibly trippy af.

Imagine Tool or A7X held a concert in that thing while high. 🤪
