Secret of a DJ called Starcream

West Lancashire Evening Gazette

Note: I did originally think that they thought they were being smart due to Sid Wilson's English heritage, but they call him this throughout the whole article...

GATECRASHER has revealed an awesome line up at its summer sound system that will have drum and bass fans doing cartwheels.
The drum and bass arena, also known as breakbeat.co.uk, will be powered by the mighty valve sound system - the same one built by Lemon D and Dillinja which entered the Guinness Book of Records.
The two will be joined by the big man himself - Mr Roni Size - along with DJ Craze and the world's number one turntablist Plus One.
The drum and bass arena will also play host to a special guest DJ Starcream. 
Who's that? Well his band is synonymous with Iowa, orange boiler suits and interesting head gear to say the least. You guessed it - he's also known as Slipknot number zero. And he's really not that scary.
Apparently he is originally from England and is partial to the odd cup of tea. 
He promises to bring his exclusive DJ style to an already packed line up at the Summer Sound System on June 22 in Northamptonshire. 
More than 40,000 people are expected to be at the huge summer event, which has ten arenas of dance music.

(MUSE) Matt Bellamy: the ONLY guitar interview!

Image
Total Guitar December 2003 (Issue 117)  As anthemic as it is experimental, Absolution is Muse's greatest achievement yet. Matt Bellamy tells us about taking chords apart, getting the ultimate tone, and the making of a masterpiece.   It starts with the sound of massed armies approaching, and ends with a single dying power chord. It's called " Apocalypse Please " and it's the opening track on Muse's extraordinary new album, Absolution . From here on in it's a non-stop lunatic ride through some of the grandest, most unashamedly epic guitar music ever created, taking in mournful death marches ( Blackout ), sound-and-fury riffing ( Stockholm Syndrome ), as well as thunderous end of the world anthems ( Time Is Running Out ).   In the months leading up to the album's release, Matt Bellamy told the press that the coming Muse record would be more 'uplifting' than previous efforts. We needn't have worried. From it's portentous opening bars to its...

COREY TAYLOR: "HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET OUT ALIVE?"

Image
Hustler  September 2023 Cогеу Taylor is the most diverse singer in rock and roll. Period. End of discussion. As the lead singer of Stone Sour, he became one of modern rock’s most consistent melodic voices. As leader of the horror rock band Slipknot, he donned terrifying masks and screamed his way through a barrage of hard nu metal classics, including “ Wait and Bleed ,” “ Custer ” and “ Duality .” Collectively, between the two bands, Taylor has sold almost 33 million records, toured the world many times over and has been nominated for 13 Grammys, with a win in 2006. As a solo artist, he has expanded perceptions. For his second solo record, СМЕ, Taylor opened all of his musical veins and bled out a diverse flood of styles with beyond positive results. Taylor can do it all. Except maybe EDM or polka. But he’s even willing to try that. Corey does not believe in restrictions... HUSTLER: How are you doing? COREY TAYLOR: Still kicking ass. At this point it’s all I know how to do. Not bad...
