Sharon Osbourne says Ozzy's doctors warned that Back To The Beginning "would kill him," that Ozzy answered "I know I'm dying... I want to go this way," and that she never told Black Sabbath or her own children how sick he was. Scott Penfold on why that was the right call, with the Back To The Beginning film in theaters October 28.
Nirvana's Nevermind has passed AC/DC's Back In Black to become the sixth best-selling album of all time, by one thousand copies: 66,832,000 equivalent album sales to 66,831,000, per Chartmasters. AC/DC still lead on physical copies, 37 million to 30 million. Scott Penfold on how the count works, why the streaming number is the honest one, and the fact that should bother everyone: nothing released since 1991 is in the all-time top ten.
Slipknot drummer Eloy Casagrande says Clown told him on day one, "you don't have to be concerned about playing everything right," that the band "don't want to have another Joey in the band," and that the Brazilian rhythms Clown once shut down are now going into the studio. Scott Penfold on why that's the most important thing anyone has said about the next Slipknot album.
Sleep Token have broken a year of silence with a rare statement saying they have "no affiliation with any outside musical project that invokes this name" and that such claims "are not made with our blessing." The band never names a target; fans are pointing at Arcus, a mystery project teased last month as being "from the co-creator of Sleep Token."
