Paul McCartney called The Beatles‘ 1963 tour with Roy Orbison a “historic moment.” It was the “Pretty Woman” singer’s first tour of the U.K. and The Beatles’ third. The Fab Four had yet to conquer the U.S., but it was safe to say they’d already taken their country by storm, so much so that they became co-headliners with Orbison, originally the headlining act.
However, there was no competition between The Beatles and Orbison. They inspired each other.

Over the past few years, Leon Neyfakh has helped chip away at the idea of an unprecedented age. For many of the steps in both ongoing and shelved crises in modern American politics, Neyfakh’s hosted podcasts have presented both tangible and spiritual connections to the headlines of the relatively recent past.
The latest example is the second season of the Luminary series “Fiasco.” After launching the podcast with a six-part deep dive into the chaos of the 2000 presidential election, the show then turned its attention to the Reagan administration. The mid-’80s series of connected weapon deals, hostage negotiations, and resultant attempts to fund rebel groups in Nicaragua may now have the recognizable four-syllable umbrella of “Iran-Contra.”

It’s been three years since we’ve a new album from Panic! At the Disco, but the band is coming back with “Vices & Virtues,” on March 29. The new set was produced by Butch Walker and John Feldmann. As you may recall, Panic! At the Disco has been through a little upheaval since we last heard from them. The former foursome is now a duo: singer/instrumentalist Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith. In 2009, guitarist/vocalist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left the group. They were replaced by Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes for Panic’s tour with Blink-182, but aren’t permanent...

In the third quarter of 2009, several new bands were formed and fall tour dates were announced. Also, some artists decided to leave their record labels and sign a new deal with other companies. One of the artists who called off his professional engagement with his label was young rapper Bow Wow. He jumped from Columbia Records to cash Money.
Moreover, music scene was sent to shock when Kanye West rudely interrupted Taylor Swift's Best Female Video acceptance speech at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Instead of congratulating Taylor for the honor, he told the audience that Beyonce Knowles should have won the award.

Cincinnati — Imagine going to see Kim Kardashian at a book signing and having her show up in a pair of loose-fitting sweatpants and a baggy T-shirt. Now, picture going to see the reunited Blink-182 and making it all the way through their 90-minute set without hearing a single poop or pee joke. Unthinkable, right?
Well, that's what happened Thursday night at Riverbend Music Center in front of more than 20,000 screaming fans at what the band said was the biggest crowd on their summer tour to date. Gig #13 turned out to be a lucky one for Travis, Tom and Mark, as the adoring, mostly teen and pre-teen crowd showered them with love and vocal assistance while the boys returned the favor with their...

With Ryan Ross and Jon Walker leaving Panic At the Disco, the band have tapped Ian Crawford, The Cab's former member, and Dallon Weekes of The Brobecks to join them for their upcoming concerts with reunited Blink-182. Ian will replace Ryan as guitarist, while Dallas will fill in Jon's shoes as bassist.
"Yeah, we've taken on a couple of new guys for the tour. They're friends, so the decision was easy. Plus, we're really excited to play with them as musicians," drummer Spencer Smith told MTV. "Ian is probably the most talented guitar player that me and Brendon [Urie] have ever played with, and Dallon is a really nice guy and a really great bassist. It's new. Like I said, we're really excited."
Spencer also made comment about their band splitting into two. He said, "I suppose it's inevitable that our two bands will always be linked now ... sort of like what happened when Blink-182 split,...

For two weeks, Spencer Smith sat idly by while his former bandmate, guitarist Ryan Ross, spoke at length about leaving Panic! at the Disco and venturing out on a career of his own. Late Wednesday (July 29), that all changed.
Smith spoke with MTV News about splitting with Ross and bassist Jon Walker — echoing Ross' sentiments, he called the decision "beyond amicable" — and his and Brendon Urie's decision to carry on under the Panic! at the Disco mantle.
"I suppose it's inevitable that our two bands will always be linked now ... sort of like what happened when Blink-182 split, with Angels & Airwaves and +44, or At the Drive-In split into Sparta and the Mars Volta," Smith said. "But that's just a media thing,...
