From Kylie to Kesha

Also this week:

In our cover story about the Power Trip metal festival, Judas Priest's Ian Hill told us that, "We’re used to European festivals – multiple bands on every day on multiple stages from the beer tent all the way up to the main stage. It might go on for two or three days like that — we’re used to that. Ever since 1970 when I went to the Isle of Wight. So yeah, six bands over three days, everybody gets to see the headliner. You couldn’t get six bands of this stature all on the same bill on the same day. There wouldn’t be the time, or the room for the egos probably. Who would wrap the show up? So yeah, it’ll be interesting. It’s the first thing like this that we’ve ever done. We’ve been out with bands like Kiss and AC/DC before, years ago. So we’ve been on the two-big-act bill, sort of thing. But with the festival theme, I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see.”

In "Not Another DJ," IDRISS D said, “There are tons of DJs around, playing in sync after 4 weeks of training, but its short lived, and I hope that people can tell the difference between those who have been doing this for years for all the right reasons and others who want quick fame in exchange for a (most likely) short career.”
