Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va., is considering reregistering as a Democrat and launching a presidential run, CNN reports.

Georgetown University law professor Rosa Brooks wrote a lengthy thread on X, calling for the Democrats to run what she calls a "blitz primary," wherein a candidate will be voted on and nominated by Democrat delegates — at the exclusion of registered Democrat voters.

Born in San Pablo, California back in 1964, Gary Holt started his musical career in 1981, first achieving fame as the guitarist, bandleader and main songwriter of the Thrash Metal band Exodus. But in 2011 he joined Slayer in 2011 temporarily, as a replacement for Jeff Hanneman but eventually became a permanent member after Jeff's death in 2013. So Holt was always involved with heavy music but as he told Scandalous Podcast (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), he always loved Pop music, including Taylor Swift. Gary Holt (Exodus/Slayer) says he loves Taylor Swift "I love Taylor Swift. Why all the hate? She's an extraordinarily hard worker. She's super fu**ing nice to everybody, and people hate her. She's just the biggest pop star on Earth, and more power to her. I like the songs. I love pop. I listen to pop mostly in the car, you know, I don't listen to metal [while driving]. I just recently started exploring my Sirius subscription [laughs]. Okay, you know, there's some heavy sh*t on here, but I'd rather listen to George Michael myself." "Beyoncé will put out a song and there's 30 fu**ing people on it. How can 30 people write a song, all gathered together? It's like, you're not a song, right? Beyoncé... some of these other people require massive teams. It's just like a factory of songwriting. Who even knows who did what anymore, when there are like 20 names on it... I don't know, but yeah, I got no hate for Taylor." He continued: "She's a good person on top of anything else, not that I know her, but hey, she tipped off the truck drivers 100 grand... Beyoncé, what are you tipping your drivers? Probably nothing. I don't know. Maybe she's super generous. I think Beyonce is the most overrated talent on Earth. I think she's marginally talented." "I'm not a Swiftie, but when 'Trouble' comes on the radio, I don't change it. It's alright. I like it. I like pop music. Always have, though, even back in the 'Bonded by Blood' era. I'd be out on tour with Venom, and I'd be drunk at the bar, singing every word to Madonna's 'Angel'. And Cronos was shaking his head, like, 'What's wrong with this guy?' But I've always liked pop music," Gary Holt said. The Rolling Stones already had once the highest-grossing tour of all time (“A Bigger Bang Tour” – 2005 to 2007). Since then many other artists have had more profitable tours than that one and one of them is Taylor Swift. Nowadays, she has the most profitable tour of all time, which is called “The Eras Tour”. With 60 dates from 2023 to 2024, the tour made more than 1 billion and 39 million dollars. Until now she released 11 studio records, 5 EPs and four re-recorded albums of her discography. She is currently the solo artist with the most weeks at number one on the United States Billboard 200 chart. In 2023 she was the most streamed artist in Spotify, with 26.1 billion streams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNoKguSdy4YThe post Gary Holt (Exodus/Slayer) says he loves Taylor Swift appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Kiss was formed back in 1973 in New York City by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, becoming in the following years one of the biggest bands in the world. But during the five decades the band was active the only two constant members were Gene and Paul, so the group had many lead guitarists and drummers along the way. One of them was the guitarist Bruce Kulick, who was part of the band from 1984 to 1996, when they were not using makeup. Although the band has millions of fans and have sold an estimated amount of more than 100 million records worldwide, there are also a lot of people who don't like their music. Many of them say they were really simple. In an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, Kulick said those people are idiots and explained why they are wrong. Bruce Kulick says that people who say Kiss is simple are idiots "Nobody could play it better than those guys the way they performed it," he explains, using the solo in "Detroit Rock City" as one particular example."Anyone that considers Kiss simple or easy music to play, they’re idiots. This stuff is hard. It’s just that the band never got credit that way and it always should," Bruce Kulick said. Bob Kulick's younger brother, Bruce was also a member of bands like Union with John Corabi (1997 to 2002) and Grand Funk Railroad (From 2000 to 2023). But he is active in the music business since 1968 and was part during the past decades of many Kiss conventions, even performing with Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Gene Simmons sometimes. As a session guitarist, he recorded with names like Ronnie Spector, Don Johnson, Bret Michaels, Todd Rundgren, Lordi and Avantasia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_RKO5ozLVo&pp=ygUMZm9yZXZlciBraXNzThe post Bruce Kulick says that people who say Kiss is simple are idiots appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
