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?

Vitriol Implodes on Tour: Band Members Abandon Frontman Kyle Rasmussen at Vermont Gas Station

In a dramatic turn of events that has stunned the extreme metal community, Portland-based death metal outfit Vitriol has effectively disintegrated mid-tour, with three members abruptly quitting and leaving vocalist/guitarist Kyle Rasmussen stranded at a gas station in Vermont.

Former guitarist Keith Merrow broke the news in a series of scathing social-media posts that were quickly captured and reported by Lambgoat. According to Merrow, he, drummer Andy Vincenzetti, bassist Brett Leier, and an additional member identified only as Matt walked away from the band after what he described as repeated “cowardly and weak outbursts of misplaced anger” from Rasmussen.

“HE FUCKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT. I’LL BE HOME FOR THANKSGIVING, BABY,” Merrow wrote. “SORRY VITRIOL FANS. WE HAD TO ABANDON HIM AT A GAS STATION IN VERMONT. MYSELF, ANDY, BRETT, AND MATT WILL NOT TAKE KYLE’S COWARDLY AND WEAK OUTBURSTS OF MISPLACED ANGER. WE GAVE EVERYTHING WE HAD, AND NOW HAVE LEFT YOU WITH NOTHING. MASS EXODUS. THIS...

Guns N’ Roses Announce Massive 2026 World Tour, Return to the Rose Bowl After 33 Years, and Drop Two Brand-New Songs

Los Angeles, CA – Fresh off a triumphant 2025 world tour that took them across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, Guns N’ Roses have revealed plans for an even more ambitious 2026 run that will span four continents and include a historic homecoming.

The iconic rock band will kick off the new trek in late March with a appearance at Mexico’s Tecate Pa’l Norte festival, followed by an extensive swing through Brazil — their first shows in the country since 2016. From there, the group heads to Europe for a summer arena and festival headline run before crossing the Atlantic once again for a full North American stadium and amphitheater assault.

A highlight of the itinerary is a September 5, 2026, performance at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl — marking Guns N’ Roses’ first show at the legendary venue since July 1993, a gap of more than 33 years.

In addition to the tour news, the band confirmed they will release two long-awaited new studio tracks, “Nothin” and “Atlas,” via Geffen Records on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. While no further details about a full album were provided, the ...
