Gene Simmons, bassist for Kiss, has a good understanding of earning money. Although his band’s music may not have been groundbreaking after the early 1980s, they have made a substantial income through touring and earnings for many decades. When offering financial advice to others, he speaks from experience.
In music genres such as rock and jazz, veteran artists are frequently given opportunities to flourish; however, this is not typically the case for hip-hop acts due to ageism. LL Cool J aims to challenge this trend. In a conversation with Billboard, he spoke about his new album titled “The FORCE“, which was produced by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip. He expressed his intentions to motivate older rappers to persevere.
In the year 2021, when Spinabenz, Yungeen Ace, FastMoney Goon, and Whoppa Wit Da Choppa remixed Vanessa Carlton’s 2002 hit “A Thousand Miles” for their track “Who I Smoke”, Vanessa Carlton granted her consent.
39-year-old Shwayze’s music, played poolside, is easygoing, relaxed, genuine, and it provides a refreshing break after a summer filled with conflicts, hit singles, and an evolving hip-hop scene. With his new album, “Shwaycation,” Aaron Smith invites listeners to join him on a musical journey, blending various genres that exude self-assuredness and fun.
If these four tunes are familiar to you, it suggests a strong affinity for authentic rock music – not the soft rock style like Fleetwood Mac. Instead, it’s about letting loose and expressing those bottled-up feelings, which is part of the essence of this genre.

Ghost Dance is (and has been) a band that plays gothic rock music. It was founded in the mid-1980s by Gary Marx, who had previously been part of The Sisters of Mercy, and Anne-Marie Hurst, formerly of Skeletal Family. Marx explained: “There wasn’t much advanced planning when Ghost Dance formed. I knew Anne Marie from Skeletal Family touring with us – we both left our bands at the same time. She reached out to me, and I thought, that’s perfect! It would help reduce comparisons between Ghost Dance and The Sisters of Mercy if I worked with a female singer.
It’s uncommon for most grownups to express dislike towards another adult on social media. While a young child, such as a seven-year-old, might do so, this behavior is less likely in an eight-year-old due to the added maturity that comes with an additional year. However, it’s rare to see such behavior in adults.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame certainly has its issues. Not having any would be nearly impossible for the kind of institution it is. Music fans will rightfully always find fault in those musical artists not inducted into the Hall. One of those people happens to be a pretty great musician too: Eric Clapton.
The current members of Queen seem focused on financial gains at present. It’s speculative whether Freddie Mercury would have followed suit, but that remains unanswered.
