“Welcome To My Jungle” (BenBella). “Then with the moth hovering in the corner of the room, Axl pulled the trigger, and… BOOM!”Duswalt still can’t believe it.
“For him, it was just another day in the life of a rock star.”In October 1991, Duswalt was watching girlfriend Kim Evenson (“Playboy Playmate, September 1984”) swim when his pager beeped. A former colleague, Doug Goldstein, was managing Guns N’ Roses and wanted Duswalt on their “Use Your Illusion” tour.“So, I look at Kim in her bathing suit and I weigh the situation. Stay here, or go on the road with the hottest band in the world,” he writes. “I knew what I had to do… break up with Kim via a phone call from far, far away.”Thrown into a world of excess, Duswalt had to keep the band safe.It wasn’t easy.In 1992, guitarist Slash “died” outside Duswalt’s San Francisco hotel room. “He basically died from an overdose, [but] they revived him, and we played a concert that night, as if nothing happened.”Then there was Rose’s, with the baby wallaby he took on tour.
“He named him Freddie, after the lead singer of Queen,” writes Duswalt. “Axl built a sling, to mimic the baby wallaby mother’s pouch and carried his pet around. “He also fed Freddie with a little baby’s bottle.”When Guns N’ Roses played 1992’s Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in London, Duswalt photographed actress Liz Taylor “after she walked into Slash’s dressing room, and saw Slash in all his glory.“Rumor has it she wasn’t embarrassed and didn’t quite leave right away. And she wasn’t looking into his eyes.”Nudity features prominently, including one nude woman found making love to a car outside Rose’s dressing room and the U2 bassist, Adam Clayton, strolling naked through a packed bar in Vienna, carrying a birthday

Zack Sharf Digital News Director While “Oppenheimer” has been touted as Christopher Nolan’s first biopic, that’s not necessarily true. It’s only the director’s first biopic to hit the big screen. Decades ago, Nolan wrote the screenplay for a biopic about aviator and business tycoon Howard Hughes, but the project never took flight because Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Hughes, beat him to it. Nolan told The Daily Beast in 2007 that his Hughes biopic was the best script he’d written, and he even lined up Jim Carrey to star as Hughes. Nolan said Hughes was the role that Carrey was “born to play.” Nolan’s Howard Hughes movie never materialized, but learning how to distill the life of an iconic American figure into a movie script would pay off years later when it came time to penning “Oppenheimer.”

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent In 2020, Mishaal Tamer became the first aspiring global pop star from Saudi Arabia to sign a major record deal in the U.S., where he released his debut EP, “Life’s a Ride,” via RCA Records. This summer, he’s touring Europe as the opening act for OneRepublic — a major milestone for an artist from his country. Tamer, whose father is Saudi and mother is Ecuadorian, started playing guitar when he was 9, at a time when religious police in his country were prone to smashing instruments and Western pop music was basically banned. But in 2017 and 2018, just as Tamer began posting his songs online, Saudi Arabia lifted its bans on movies and musical events, prompting a cultural sea change.

A.D. Amorosi From a private show in Dubai and its official opening in Stockholm to its Canadian dates last week, most of the globe has gotten at least a glimpse, from afar, of Beyoncé on the Renaissance World Tour — her first in nearly five years. Last night, the United States got its first in-person peek at the vibrancy of Club Renaissance with an opening show at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Center. Four words immediately come to mind in trying to do justice to the show: Daring. Elastic. Silvery. Very. With the wealth of knock-off mirror-ball cowboy hats and barely-there sequined outfits in the crowd to the wide staging of Club Renaissance and its accoutrements — flying horses, group costumes, pianos for Bey to sit on — nearly everything was reflectively silver. Everything. From its epic concept videos between changeovers and its athletic dancers to a sound system that pulsated crisply with each deep house reverberation, Club Renaissance never missed a beat. Over-the-top, yet still elegantly refined, pretty much everything surrounding the show’s vocal and visual centerpiece was exquisitely executed and bolder for it.The only thing more very than all of the technology and vigorous dance moves of Club Renaissance was Beyoncé herself. As a singer, she proved to be righteously elastic with trills to thrill and vocal runs that ran fluidly atop every different musical interlude (and there were many sharp turns and frantic rhythms in which to contend). As a performer and as a curator-producer, her sonic choices and visual cues were often daring. Ballsy even.

Babyface is a legend in the recording booth.As a producer and songwriter, he’s developed some of the world’s greatest musicians across genres, including the likes of Whitney Houston, Beyoncé and Usher, just to name a few.This week on “Renaissance Man,” Babyface – born Kenneth Brian Edmonds – took me down memory lane and dished on the moments when he realized that these young talents would become undisputed global sensations.Specifically, Babyface remembers developing his own “language” while recording with Houston, who, he said, was all business.“She didn’t necessarily like to spend a lot of time singing. She liked to get in there and get it done,” Babyface told me.
Slipknot‘s Corey Taylor has said he thinks he has “maybe five years left” of physically touring to this level with the masked band.Taylor has fronted the Iowa troupe for over 20 years, and they are currently on the road in support of their recent album ‘The End, So Far’.The singer, who will turn 50 at the end of 2023, told Germany’s Rock Antenne: “As long as I can physically do it, and as long as there are people there to see it, man, I’ll continue to do it.“Now, if the quality starts to fail, then I’ll know it’s time to hand it in. And I’ve already thought about it — I’ve already thought about, maybe I’ve got another five years left of physically touring like this. I try to take care of myself.
