      Mick Jagger Responds to Paul McCartney's Claim That Beatles Are Better Than Rolling Stones

      by

      Jagger laughs off McCartney’s claims that the Fab Four are superior than the Stones, insisting that there’s no competition because they each have their own appeal.
      Apr 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mick Jagger is amused whenever Paul McCartney insists The Beatles were better than The Rolling Stones because he is adamant there is no comparison.
      The age-old question is one that has entertained music fans for decades, and McCartney recently reignited the debate by claiming the Fab Four’s wider appeal made them the superior group.
      “(The Stones) are rooted in the blues,” the “Hey Jude” hitmaker recently told U.S. shockjock Howard Stern. “When they are writing stuff, it has to do with the blues. We had a little more influences. There’s a lot of differences, and I love the Stones, but I’m with you: The Beatles were better.”
      Jagger was asked for his thoughts on his old pal’s remarks during a new appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music show, and he couldn’t help but laugh off the comments.
      “That’s so funny,” the singer responded. “He’s a sweetheart. There’s obviously no competition.”
      Jagger went on to explain what he believes are the major differences between the two iconic brands. “The Rolling Stones is a big concert band in other decades and other areas, when the Beatles never even did an arena tour, (or) Madison Square Garden (in New York) with a decent sound system,” he said. “They broke up before that business started, the touring business for real.”
      “We started doing stadium gigs in the Seventies and (are) still doing them now,” Jagger continued. “That’s the real big difference between these two bands: one band is unbelievably luckily still playing in stadiums, and then the other band doesn’t exist.”
      The Beatles called it quits in 1970 as McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison all embarked on solo careers while the Stones have continued to perform sold-out shows across the world.
      Their current trek, the No Filter Tour, has been put on an indefinite hold amid the coronavirus crisis, but Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Charlie Watts have continued to stay busy while in isolation, debuting “Living in a Ghost Town”, their first original tune since 2012’s “Doom and Gloom”, on Thursday, April 23, 2020.
      They also took part in last weekend’s “One World: Together at Home” broadcast, on which they performed “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.

      One Direction Members Tell Liam Payne to Shut Up About Their Reunion

      WENN

      The ‘Strip That Down’ singer reveals that his bandmates are not happy with him for constantly making comments about their upcoming reunion in interviews.
      Apr 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Liam Payne refused to say any more about the much-speculated One Direction reunion – after one of his bandmates threatened to throw eggs at his house if he doesn’t keep quiet.
      The “Strip That Down” singer got himself into hot water after seemingly confirming plans for a comeback to celebrate the group’s 10th anniversary later this year, and he told U.K. TV show “Good Morning Britain” (GMB) on Friday, April 24, 2020 he’s “already said too much” on the subject.
      “I can’t tell you too much because I’ve already said too much,” he said. “There’s been a threat from one of the members that he’s going to egg my house if I say any more so I don’t want that to happen.”
      He added, “It’s been nice, we’ve been talking to each other a lot more. The lines of communication are a lot more back open with everyone. I think we’ve realised how special it is to get to a 10-year anniversary of anything really.”
      Reflecting on the success of the group, which was formed on U.K. TV show “The X Factor” in 2010, went on to share, “To have gone as far as we did and be as successful as we were and still be here today and receiving all the things from the fans, it’s really nice, so we’re definitely feeling how special it is and making sure we’re telling each other that.”
      While fans were convinced the group is set to reunite after Liam, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson all re-followed former member Zayn Malik on Twitter – five years after his sensational departure from the band – the “Bedroom Floor” star later suggested Zayn wouldn’t be making a comeback.
      During the “GMB” chat he joked about “bringing (DJ pal and collaborator) Alesso in as a fifth member,” hinting the group will reunite as a four-piece.

      Travis Scott Breaks Record With 12M Viewers During Video Game Concert

      by

      Fortnite

      The ‘Sicko Mode’ rapper turns into a cyborg and a giant as he performs a 15-minute concert ‘Astronomical’ on online video game Fortnite and debuts a new song.
      Apr 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Travis Scott (II) became a record-holder on Thursday night, April 23, 2020 as his virtual Astronomical concert on video game Fortnite attracted a staggering 12.3 million viewers.
      The 27-year-old rapper pulled out all the stops for the 15-minute gig, with game developers ensuring he used the entire Fortnite island for the performance, which was packed with special effects, exciting graphics and a section inspired by the action movie “Tron”.
      Scott himself transformed into a cyborg and then a giant in the game, and also used the concert, the first of five, to debut his collaboration with Kid Cudi, titled “The Scotts” – which was released just hours after the virtual show.

      Fortnite celebrated the immense success of the gig in a post on Twitter as they wrote, “Over 12.3 million concurrent players participated live in Travis Scott’s Astronomical, an all-time record!”
      The record eclipses Marshmello’s gig last year 2019, which saw 10 million viewers tune in.
      Following his Fortnite tour debut Travis capitalised on the popularity by releasing a limited edition line of merchandise, including gaming jerseys, a set of 12 inch action figures and a Nerf Elite Dart Blaster.

      Alicia Keys Pays Tribute to Covid-19 Heroes With New Song

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘No One’ hitmaker dedicates her latest music offering called ‘Good Job’ to the unsung heroes that have stepped up and made impact during the coronavirus pandemic.
      Apr 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Alicia Keys has partnered with CNN’s Heroes campaign to honour those fighting on the front lines amid the Covid-19 crisis.
      The hitmaker debuted her new track “Good Job” on Thursday, April 23, 2020, and told CNN the track was originally written months ago as a tribute to the unsung heroes in Keys’ own life.
      “It has always been such a personal song and such a poignant song,” she said. “And every time I play it, I want to cry because I’m thinking of my mother, I’m thinking of my grandmother, I’m thinking of friends of mine who can’t make ends meet.”
      [embedded content]
      As the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe, however, the words took on a different meaning, and Alicia, 39, wanted to share the tune for healthcare professionals, frontline workers, parents, teachers, and everyone else who has stepped up during the public health crisis.
      “A lot of times people don’t feel like they’re doing a good job. They feel underwater and like there’s never going to be a brighter day,” she said. “Fast forward to now, with where we are now, and it’s almost like the song was written for this and I didn’t know it.”
      The song will serve as the theme for a new CNN Heroes campaign in celebration of the ordinary people who’ve emerged as heroes during the Covid-19 crisis. As part of the initiative, visitors to CNN platforms will be invited to share pictures and videos of individuals from their communities who are making a difference during the coronavirus lockdown.

      French Montana on Hot 97 Declaring Him Winner in Hits Battle Against Kendrick Lamar: 'I'm Not Crazy'

      by

      WENN

      However, some other outlets begged to differ, with Complex taking to its official Twitter account to compare the two stars’ songs using information from both Billboard and the RIAA.
      Apr 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – French Montana received backlash after he claimed that he would “outshine” Kendrick Lamar at festival stage because he had more hits. However, the statement may not be entirely baseless as the entire crew at Hot 97 listed the two rapper’s bangers with French being declared as the winner.
      For the graphic, Peter Rosenberg represented Kendrick, while Kast One played French’s hit songs. With 6-4 decision, the “Coke Boys” rapper was named the winner. Catching wind of the satisfying results, French quickly took to his Twitter account to brag about it.
      “I GUEST IM NOT CRAZY AFTER ALL,” so he wrote on the blue bird app. “FRENCH MONTANA VS KENDRICK LAMAR HOT 97 TOUGHEST CRITICS SCORE 6-4 FRENCH MONTANA WINS WATCH FOR YOURSELF ! ITS GOOD TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF TO ALL YOU UNDERDOGS OUT THERE . WE JUST TALKING HITS NOTHING ELSE BY THE WAY.”

      French Montana reacted to his victory.
      However, some other outlets begged to differ. Complex took to its official Twitter account to compare the two stars’ songs using information from both #Billboard and the #RIAA. Unlike Hot 97, Kendrick beat French with more hits, hot 100 entries and multi-platinum certified hits. “Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don’t lie. We ran the numbers of Kendrick Lamar vs French Montana,” the account wrote in the caption.
      French, however, insisted that “them numbers all lies.” He added in a comment, “U missing 20 more platinum plaques.”
      Akadmiks also had the same results. He wrote on Instagram, “Here is the accurate side by comparison Plaque for plaque. ALL RIAA pulled info.” Once again, French jumped to the comment section to set the record straight, saying, “Most of kendricks features Too ! I never compared myself I just stood up for myself . we all now know kendrick one of the goats.”

      French sparked controversy with his remarks in a recent interview with Complex News where he said, “I could go against anybody. You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits.”
      He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”

      Insane Clown Posse Pushes Back Gathering of the Juggalos to 2021 Over COVID-19 Pandemic

      by

      In a statement regarding the cancellation of the 2020 festival, bandmates Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope stress that they are dedicated first and foremost to the safety and health of their family.
      Apr 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rappers the Insane Clown Posse have scrapped their annual Gathering of the Juggalos festival this summer because they “refuse” to put any of their fans at risk of contracting the coronavirus.
      The “Jump Around” hitmakers had been due to stage the convention at the Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Ohio from 5 to 8 August, but ongoing concerns regarding the COVID-19 outbreak have forced the hip-hop duo to postpone the event until next year (21).
      “With the global pandemic that is now affecting us all, we are dedicated first and foremost to the safety and health of our family,” bandmates Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope share in a statement.
      “With tens of thousands of deaths due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we can’t possibly in good conscience even consider trying to put on a Gathering during these difficult times.”
      “The entire music industry is at a dead halt due to the quarantine, and this, along with the uncertainty of how things will eventually pan out, has made it impossible to move forward with a 2020 GOTJ.”
      They add, “The bottom line is that we REFUSE to risk even ONE Juggalo life by hosting a Gathering during these troubling times.”
      Urging fans to stay safe and obey social distancing rules, the duo concludes, “We will endure this together as a Family, and the Gathering of the Juggalos will return in 2021, stronger, bigger, and better than ever! Whoop whoop!”

      Meanwhile, the MCs have also donated more than 300 T-shirts from their merchandise stock to be turned into face masks for members of the general public and healthcare workers in need in their native Michigan.
      A representative for the group delivered the boxes of gear to officials at the Detroit Sewn donation center on Wednesday (April 22), so volunteers can use the fabric to make much needed personal protective equipment, reports TMZ.

      6ix9ine Asks Judge to Allow Him to Film Backyard Music Videos

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘FEFE’ hitmaker’s legal team has filed legal documents asking for a judge’s permission to record his new music videos in the backyard while he’s in home confinement.
      Apr 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tekashi69 a.k.a. 6ix9ine’s new music may come sooner than later. The rapper has been actively working on his new albums since he’s released from jail due to the coronavirus pandemic and he’s now eager to use his time in home confinement to film music videos.
      According to TMZ, the New York City native’s legal team has filed legal documents asking Judge Engelmayer to allow the rapper to spend up to 2 hours in his backyard once a week to work on music videos. The docs note that the hip-hop star’s probation officer is aware of the request and has no objection, so he just needs the judge’s stamp of approval too.
      Back in October 2019, when he’s still placed behind bars, 6ix9ine already scored a new record deal worth more than $10 million with his former label, 10K Projects. Under the deal, the “Gummo” spitter will release two albums, one in English and one in Spanish, as soon as he’s released from jail.
      And that’s exactly what he’s been planning after the judge granted him an early release on April 2. His attorney Dawn Florio has confirmed that her client intends to release two new albums “as soon as possible.” The lawyer added, “Yes, he can release music. What he’s gonna do is he already has that advance for 10K Projects. So he has to put out a Spanish album and an English album. So that’s what he’s going to do.” He has reportedly set up a studio at home to record the albums.
      Additionally, the 23-year-old star has scored gigs in Saudi Arabia, Australia, Europe and South America in 2020 and 2021, which are going to earn him $500,000 per show. He, however, has to wait until his home confinement is over in three months to be able to travel overseas for the shows.

      The Offspring Treats Fans to Quirky Cover of 'Tiger King' Song 'Here Kitty Kitty'

      by

      Instagram

      Becoming fans of ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’, frontman Dexter Holland and guitarist Noodles give the docuseries’ star Joe Exotic a musical boost by releasing their rendition of his track.
      Apr 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Punk rockers The Offspring have given jailed “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” icon Joe Exotic a musical boost by covering his track “Here Kitty Kitty”.
      Like many Americans, the California bandmates have become fans of the “Tiger King” Netflix docuseries and now they have released their rendition of one of the tunes that features on the show.
      “We are going a little stir crazy these days and we wanted to do something fun to put a smile on our faces,” a statement from the band reads.
      Performing in face masks, frontman Dexter Holland and guitarist Noodles have released a quirky video on YouTube to accompany the track, in which they are joined by a skateboarding drummer in a tiger costume and two dancing pussycats.
      “Here Kitty Kitty” alludes to Joe Exotic’s claims that his nemesis, animal rights activist Carole Baskin, murdered her husband.
      The Offspring also acknowledges that “Here Kitty Kitty” was written by The Clinton Johnson Band, and “not by anyone in that recent documentary we all got caught up in.”
      [embedded content]
      Explaining the thinking behind their cover, the bandmates add, “The Offspring wives were group texting recently, and while they all agreed that they truly love their husbands, there are times when they’ve absolutely felt like feeding us to the tigers. In that spirit, we hope you enjoy this random song and video.”
