Posted on March 5, 2021 By W A

“We’ll never be one of these sellouts that’s gonna go play a drive-in show or play a venue that holds 100,000 people and there’s only 10,000 people there. That’s bullshit,” Commerford stated. “Rage will never do that. It’s not a good show unless the audience is going off too. It’s gotta be a shared experience.”…

Posted on February 24, 2021 By W A

There were also some moments where cloaked references to Page’s ongoing obsession with the occult could be discerned: images of ‘Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace’ and a ‘pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream’ – pilot?

Here’s Prince, Holding Court in his First Filmed Interview

Posted on January 12, 2021August 3, 2024 By W A

Prince rarely gave live interviews, but when he did, he had a way of mesmerising the audience. We dug up this rare clip from 1985 when the artist agreed to talk in front of cameras for the first time ever.
