Former My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar has unfortunately passed away at the age of 44. Bryar started as a sound engineer for The Used and Thrice, before joining MCR in 2004 after the band had split with previous drummer Matt Pelissier. He toured in support of the ‘Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge’ album and drummed on ‘The Black Parade’ album, as well as appearing on their popular covers of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You” and the Bowie/Queen track "Under Pressure.” Bryar was part of the writing for the follow-up ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, but he exited the band in 2010 before the record was released. TMZ reports that the drummer was found in his home in Tennessee after not being seen since November 4th. No foul play was suspected and no cause of death has been revealed. Bryar made his last series of posts on X on November 4th as well. #mcr #mychemicalromance #emo #poppunk

ARE YOU READYYYY?! Well calm down, you’re gonna have to wait. Korn is currently working on their follow-up to the 2022 album “Requiem“, but it’s gonna be awhile before we hear it. The nu metal band’s guitarist Brian “Head” told the Everblack Podcast: “…We got a lot of it [written]. We’re still working. Dude, it’s a trip 30 years later, man, to try to keep doing it. And we’re very happy with what we got, but it’s just gonna take a while. And I don’t know how long — maybe next summer, maybe next year, the next winter, I don’t know, but it’s not gonna be soon.” Maybe we’ll hear some of it before the System of a Down stadium show? #korn #numetal #rock #metal #metalhead
You know Limp Bizkit’s song, but do you know the surprisingly tender story behind it? This holiday season, gather around as the man with a beard and red hat tells us the real meaning of “Nookie” Fred Durst was doing an interview with Dazed for the new A24 film “Y2K” where he plays himself and when asked what he does it all for now, the nu-metal frontman said: "The funny thing about that though, nobody listened to the story in 'Nookie' they just listened to the catchphrase. It's like when I say Rage Against The Machine they listen to 'fuck you, I won't do what you tell me', they don't listen to the rest of it," said Durst. "'Nookie'. The first time I had been intimate with someone it happened later and I was very much head over heels in love because of that and I was just that guy. I was very much a vulnerable person in that world and I couldn't believe it even happened. So I fell in love and then this person was sleeping with other people and people would say 'Fred, you're so upset, why are you staying?' and I'd say 'because, we made love' and I found a different way to say that: I did it all for the nookie. That sounded more fun. So what I did it for then was the love. And what I do it for now is for the love. I have a new daughter, she's eight months old." #limpbizkit #numetal #metal #rock
You’ve probably seen the memes about Billy Corgan and Bill Burr looking a lot alike, but it turns out they might actually be brothers? The revelation came when the Smashing Pumpkins frontman was a guest on the "Howie Mandel Does Stuff Podcast" and revealed what his mother told him 10 years ago about the famous comedian. “I’ve never told it to anyone, In fact, most of my friends don’t even know this story.” “So, about 10 years ago, one of my brothers was having a birthday party and my stepmother was there who was obviously married to my father. And my stepmother said to me, ‘Do you know who Bill Burr is?’ Now at that point, I had never heard of Bill Burr, I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t know he was a comedian or anything. He could have been the guy down the street.” “And she said, ‘Well, he’s this comedian’.’ And I think I even somehow called up a picture on the phone — and I kind of noticed right away, ‘Gee, he kind of looks like my father,'” the singer recalled. “Bill Burr looks more like my father than Bill Burr looks like me or I look like Bill Burr.” “So, I said to my mother, ‘Why are you asking me this?’ I thought the first thing she was going to say was, ‘Oh, I thought you’d notice the resemblance.'” “She goes, ‘I think it might be one of your father’s illegitimate children. Bill Burr might be one of the children that your father sired in his days of being a traveling musician,' This is a true story. I’m not making this up, there is no joke in this. This is a true story. I’ve never told this anywhere, honestly.” #rock #metal #grunge #90s #smashingpumpkins

Spiritbox recently secured their second Grammy nomination for “Best Metal Performance” and in a new conversation with Brazilian journalist Igor Miranda, frontwoman Courtney LaPlante talked about her hopes of seeing a woman win for the award first time. “I can’t believe it. I’m so excited. And I was so surprised last year when we were nominated. To be nominated again for the same body of work is such an honor. But I will say the thing that makes this one different to me is that usually, historically, it’s all legacy bands [that get nominated], the biggest bands in the world, and then maybe one small band — maybe. But this time, instead of just us as the small band, we and Knocked Loose and Poppy, where both of us, two of the five bands are younger bands. And we have Gojira, who had the greatest metal performance of all time at the Olympics as well in there, which is so cool. But I'm so inspired that both of us — us and Knocked Loose and Poppy — are nominated because I've never seen that before where two newer bands both got in there. So I think we're both really excited for each other. And if we don't win, I would love for them to win" “Since this award has ever existed — this award, the first year was when I was born, in 1989. There was one year when Lzzy Hale and Halestorm won when it was the Hard Rock and Metal Grammy ['Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance'], but no woman has ever won the Best Metal Performance Grammy since it came out in 1989. And I think about that every year. I'm almost 36 years old. 36 years, a woman's never won. And now there are more chances than ever for a woman to win. So I'm really excited. I hope that we win. I hope that Knocked Loose and Poppy win. Or if Gojira wins, there's a woman who's an opera singer on that song. So there's three out of five chances for that ceiling, that glass ceiling to finally shatter." #spiritbox #metal #metalcore #metalhead
