David Coverdale Handled This With Class... As He Generally Always Does

https://blabbermouth.net/news/david-coverdale-on-tawny-kiteans-death-i-didnt-see-that-one-coming/

I read this and thought, "damn, that guy knows how to handle some press and interviews". Asked about the death of Tawny Kitaen, Coverdale handled this masterfully. He answered in a way that covers all the bases - doesn't insult the dead, her family, his current wife, and still acknowledges the importance
of Kitaen to his musical and personal legacy.

Pretty impressive if you ask me!!

Whitesnake just released the anniversary addition of RESTLESS HEART, which unless I'm mistaken, wasn't even released originally as a Whitesnake album but a Coverdale solo album. At least, that how I have it in my collection.

What do you think of how Coverdale handled this question about Tawny Kitaen's death?

Sports reporters tried to lay an absolute trap for Buster Posey over his players' personal choices. They expected an immediate corporate apology—but they didn't get one. This standoff just exposed exactly how broken the relationship between sports media and real fans actually is.

Let's not pretend the media actually cared about baseball during this press conference. They came looking for a very specific, headline-ready quote to crucify an executive and alienate traditional fans. When Buster Posey shut down the narrative by sticking strictly to the game, he didn't just protect his locker room—he exposed the entire corporate playbook. We break down the exact moment the media realized they weren't getting their apology, why sports culture is being cannibalized by corporate sponsorships, and how the entire ...

LEMMY SMASHES MIXING BOARD! KING DIAMOND'S $26K HANDOUT! (Audio)

Slowly going through the Metallica ReLoad box. There are four remixes that are just utter shit. Two of Bells (one of which was originally on the Spawn movie soundtrack), 3 previously unreleased ones: Fuel, Unforgiven and Sandman. These remixes are the type you’d have to take ectasy just to get it. The band puts these on here but wouldn’t put the radio edit of Bells on the Ride the Lighting box. Bad decision.

As for the riffs and demos, it’s given me a new perspective on the album. It’s still no Puppets or even Black Album, but it’s still better than Lulu.

Would Zinny Zan and Harry Cody ever work together again?

Now they finally have.

But instead of giving fans what they expected, they went in a completely different direction.

Did Nashville Change Black Stone Cherry? (2008)

Let’s be honest about what’s actually happening here. When a young, heavy band from Kentucky leaves the practice house on the farm and moves into a high-end Nashville studio, the music changes. Some call it growth. Others smell a sellout. John Fred Young breaks down the exact moment the production shifted—and why the old way wasn't going to last.
