Exactly six months to the day before Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, Radiohead released their eerily prescient and hypnotic ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool, to great fanfare. Nothing could have foretold the future more than the lyrics to the opening song, “Burn the Witch”: “Abandon all reason / avoid all eye contact / this is a low-flying panic attack.” Backed by a repetitive and sawing string arrangement and an equally disturbing music video, it’s one of the most overtly political songs Radiohead has ever done, as well as one of their all-time best. The following track, “Daydreaming” is nearly as good, with vocal loops and mournful piano reminiscent of Radiohead’s very best work from 2000’s Kid A. The final minute

John and Marsha owned a record store in New Jersey called Rock “N” Roll Heaven.

The band was formed in Poway, California, a small suburb in San Diego, in 1992. The original band consisted of Tom DeLonge as the guitarist and vocals, Mark Hoppus as the bassist and vocals, and Scott Raynor on the drums. Today, only one of the original band members remain. DeLonge met Raynor at a local battle of the bands, as well as Kerry Key. Key’s girlfriend at the time, Anne Hoppus, is the reason for Mark Hoppus joining the duo. The three first met up at a skate park where Hoppus broke his ankles attempting to impress his new bandmates. From the very start, the band came from average roots. These are memories that many can relate to; friends of a friend, and failed impressions.
I think that's smart that you're saying this because I know that sometimes musicians will try to step into something that has nothing to do with music and they just totally bomb. These musicians think that being an actor is easy, and they jump into a dramatic role, and they have no clue what they're doing and you can tell.
On October 28th, 1981, Ulrich made an offer to Hetfield(who he first met in June of that year) to lead his band and help record a track for Metal Blade’s ‘Metal Massacre 1’(Metal Blade is a record label)(Metal Massacre 1 was a compilation album)(Metallica History- The 1980s).

This time they were looking for a lead guitarist and who answered the call? A man by the name of Dave Mustaine from the band, Panic(Metallica History-The 1980s).

The story behind the band Fall Out Boy is that for years I have loved their music. I have never really gravitated to this kind of genre of music but there's something special about their way of saying what I feel sometimes and their overall sound is appealing to me. Whenever I listen to their music I either want to get pumped up about something or I what something loud and emotional to blockout the world around me. Ever since I first listened to This ain’t a scene, It's an Arms Race, it was my dream to see this band in concert. And my dream came true when my mother texted me when I was over at my grandparents house and told me in all capitals that Fall Out Boy is going to be at the Illinois State Fair and tickets were available! I had to go.
