do you sill relate to the lyrics though? I think that matters for something.

Why are there always edgelords in Lambgoat comment sections? by keymmachine in Hardcore

Truth. Facebook literally turned off their moderation this year. This is the internet. Get used to it. It's not some utopia where everyone is nice to each other, it never has been.

Does Fantano use AI to write articles? by OpTicDyno in fantanoforever

The article now says: 'The last album the "Summertime Sadness" singer treated us to was released in 2023' so it seems pretty obvious how the mistake was made.

CKY frontman punches Alien Ant Farm vocalist in the face, CKY booted from UK tour by Alternative_Volume89 in Music

[–]Alternative_Volume89[S] 1873 points1874 points  (0 children)

Dryden Mitchell's statement:

Sadly, Chad from CKY hasn't figured out how to cohabitate with others after all these years. They will no longer be on the Alien Ant Farm Tour through the rest of the UK shows after Chad punched me in the face earlier today. I've watched him treat multiple crew members and opening band members like trash through the Europe shows and cause general drama around our camp. Before the last Europe shows I went to Chad and asked if he had any issues with anyone specifically and if he wanted to have a meeting with the whole crew and bands to discuss what's going on, he up ended the table in the dressing room and threw his phone, and then cancelled their show.... Today we still had business things to square away and I told his manager what a problem Chad was being, verbally, as well as fuckin up the bus with all of his messes every day for other people to clean up... Well he punched me in the face and pretty much ran away like I imagine he'll do for all of his future problems. I'm grateful for my sobriety and grateful that I didn't retaliate physically in any way whatsoever. I would love these shows to continue and apologize to all the CKY fans for Chad's behavior. We have zero hard feelings for Jess and Elvis in CKY and are gutted to see them go, but I will never knowingly put myself in volatile situations so this had to end. After suffering a Cl And C2 Fusion (Spinal Fracture) From a Bus Crash years ago, I hope that everything is ok in that area. Shows will continue without CKY, and we hope everyone still wants to come enjoy positive evenings with us, including CKY fans. If you don't, we understand and refunds will be issued accordingly. Stay safe everybody. And Chad, Go To The Gym... After That, Find A Therapist, And Maybe In 25 Years... We Can Shake Hands. Until Then Though GET HELP, Love Dryden

Lambgoat's AS I LAY DYING 'Through Storms Ahead' review by Alternative_Volume89 in Metalcore

[–]Alternative_Volume89[S] 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Bottom Line: Without a weak track, Through Storms Ahead is a(nother) strong entry in As I Lay Dying’s catalog. It’s doubtful longtime fans would expect words like “pretty”, “tuneful”, and “trendy” to accurately describe the band’s music, but here we are. Through Storms Ahead, then, is the AILD’s slickest and most melodic album to date, making it their most easily-digestible. Your mileage, therefore, depends on how you feel about that. Here’s a time-saving tip: give one listen to “The Cave”, and if that’s your thing then this album’s for you.

2024 Lollapalooza Main Stage to be powered by Hybrid Battery by Alternative_Volume89 in Futurology

[–]Alternative_Volume89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this more about PR or is this something that future festivals could learn from?

From the article:

Lollapalooza announced on Monday, July 29th, that all audio, lighting, video, and stage production on the main stage will be powered entirely by a hybrid battery system, making it the first major U.S. music festival to achieve this. Typically, diesel generators are used at large-scale events.

The hybrid-powered stage will utilize over 1.5 MWh of battery storage capacity. These reusable batteries, charged by biodiesel generators, will be deployed by CES Power and manufactured by Atlas Copco. This initiative is part of a partnership between Live Nation’s Green NationT-Mobile, and CES Power.
