KINGS OF LEON make it personal

January 12, 2021 | Tim Virgin

Caleb Followill says his lyrics on the new Kings of Leon album When You See Yourself are the most personal in the band’s career.

He told The Sun, “I try to write and convince myself that I’m writing about something else, but a vein of my personal life flows through these songs.”

The album was going to be released last year to go along with the band’s tour, but since that didn’t happen Caleb says they used that time to really examine the songs and critique little things they wanted to hear.

The new album “When You See Yourself” will be out on March 5th.

 

Here is the band’s new Video:

This man does the unthinkable on the wing of an airplane

Skydiving is pretty extreme, but is it as extreme as standing on top of a flying plane with no parachute?

No, the answer is no.

@theworldofjacob5$ if you can find my parachute 😉 #flying #extremesports #skydiving

Suspect 208, the band featuring the sons of Slash, Robert Trujillo of Metallica and the late Scott Weiland, are already looking for a new singer.

Bills Mafia is on another level

January 10, 2021 | jnettlebeck

The Buffalo Bills might have one of the best fanbases in the NFL, besides the Bears of course.

And the Bills Mafia has a fun tradition of drinking a lot, then getting slammed through a plastic table.

Well after their playoff win against the Indianapolis Colts (their first playoff win since 1995)

Bills Mafia took their celebrating to a new level.

Never change good people of Buffalo!

Maybe us Bears fans should step up our game next season!

Reruns are great when it’s the Foo Fighters at Austin City Limits.

January 10, 2021 | Eric

Saw Foo Fighters on Austin City Limits last night.  They’ve been doing archival footage lately and this is probably one of my favorite renditions of “My Hero” from a performance they did back in 2008.  Check it out!  Looking forward to the band releasing Medicine at Midnight on February 5th…  — [eric]

New Chevelle!

January 9, 2021 | <3 Lauren

For the first time in five very long years (minus the acoustic taste of ‘Endlessly‘) there is new Chevelle for our earholes!!  Their ninth full length will be not be country and not titled ‘Mother Earth’ as suggested by the band at Lollapalooza 2019 (remember festivals?!)  It will be called ‘Niratias’ and will be unleashed upon us on March 5.  Check out the first offering clocking in at a scathing 5:57: ‘Self Destructor’  <3 Lauren

Lyrics:
How many ways
And how many words
Safe in your lies but can’t ignore it all

You aren’t at all right
Ten million other lives

Well it’s to much to lose
It’s time, or self destruct

They don’t care what the science says
They don’t want to talk

Cuz this time ready or not, This time you fought us all
Cuz time you aren’t at all right, You aren’t at all right
Ten million other lives

How can we save
And how in this time
The lessons we learned
To rescue the mind before it’s gone

Well it’s to much to lose
It’s time, or self destruct
They don’t care what the science says
They don’t want to talk

Well it’s to much to lose
It’s time, or self destruct
They don’t care what the science says
They don’t want to talk

Cuz this time ready or not, This time you fought us all
Cuz this time your doubling down,
This time you’ll work alone
Cuz time you aren’t at all,
Right

It’s like war x2

Bite your tongue this Nosferatu ways
It’s minimal these stomach knots
This conscious can’t hide from his soul
Till now
It’s like war x5

Go Fight yourself

Cuz this ready or not, this time you fought us all
Cuz this time your doubling down this time
You aren’t at all, right
You aren’t at all, right

Axl and Slash of GN’R gifts Dave Grohl with Guitar

January 8, 2021 | Tim Virgin

Guns n’ Roses borrowed Dave Grohl‘s rock throne after Axl Rose broke his foot when the reunited group was about to tour in 2016. And Grohl says he got a great guitar as a thank-you.

Grohl had the throne built-in 2015 so he could still do Foo Fighters shows after breaking his leg in Sweden, and he tells Classic Rock, “So Axl took it out with Guns n’ Roses, then he took it out with AC/DC, and then all of a sudden I became the guy you come to if you break a limb on tour, like Thrones R Us.”

After the throne was returned, Axl wanted to give Grohl a very special thank-you gift. “He had Slash go pick me a guitar. And he picked me an early-’60s Gibson ES 335 Dot, which to this day is the nicest guitar I have ever played in my life. It was an incredibly kind and classy gesture, and I was very appreciative.”

Packers fan shotguns beer right after finishing chemotherapy

January 7, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Now, I know this guy is rocking an Aaron Rodgers jersey, which is just terrible, but I think all us Bears fans can agree that this is awesome.

This guy finished chemotherapy, beat cancer, and celebrated by shotgunning a beer!

This might be the best celebration ever.

Congrats to this guy!

And Bear Down!!!

Man casually licks a dirty boot on a train during global pandemic

January 7, 2021 | jnettlebeck

This is a video you could probably have gone your entire life without seeing.

But you’re here, so why not stay around awhile!

Now we don’t know the full story here, maybe there is a reason for this guy to be licking an old dirty boot on a train during a global pandemic.

But realistically there isn’t!

And that is really the beauty of life.

Happy Friday!
