Exodus and Slayer‘s Gary Holt credits a metal legend with teaching him how to play guitar — Kirk Hammett. Of course, both musicians have ties to Exodus and Hammett, at that time, wasn’t the legend he is now. Hammett was one of the co-founders of the thrash group in 1979, along with fellow guitarist Tim Agnello, drummer and then vocalist Tom Hunting and a few others. “Tim Agnello was the guitar player before I joined, but Exodus operated as a power trio, with Tom playing drums and singing for a while,” Holt said in a Loudwire episode of Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction. The guitarist added that he me...

Subscribe to Taste of Country on Youtube George Strait‘s songs have turned into more No. 1 hits in each of the three full decades he’s worked than most artists would dream of having in their career. As the record holder for chart toppers across all genres, Strait has had such a huge number of No. 1 hits that it’s very difficult to sort through and choose the Top 20 George Strait songs. The country icon has offered up many different styles over the decades, from traditional country to more contemporary fare, from love songs to darker material and everything in between, creating one of the great...

Check out our new Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?video compilation “Lies the Internet Told About Thrash Metal.” There’s no shortage of legends and rumors about the heyday of thrash, but luckily, we’ve spoken to some of the most iconic musicians from the scene and were able to get some of the stories straight. We compiled clips of some of the lies that Wikipedia told about thrash metal that were disproven, and turned them into one episode. One of the Wikipedia myths said that Kerry King‘s guitar playing on Slayer‘s albums Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood was intended to “mimic the screams of the song...

We all have that one thing we did in high school, elementary school — or maybe even last week — that we kept from mom. So do your favorite country stars, like Carrie Underwood, Frankie Ballard and Sam Hunt! For Mother’s Day, Taste of Country caught up with some of the biggest names in music and asked them to spill their secret escapades — to come clean to mom once and for all. These stars did not disappoint. Ballard makes perhaps one of the most outrageous reveals, noting that he once said he got a scar from a go-kart accident, but that he and some friends actually attempted to brand themselve...

Subscribe to Taste of Country on Youtube You don’t need to go back 20 years to find a time when talking about weed was taboo in proper country music circles. Really, you don’t even need to go back five years! “Sun Daze” was a 2014 hit for Florida Georgia Line, and it surely made this list of 11 songs that helped normalize pot smoking. Medical or recreational marijuana has been legalized in many U.S. states (or soon will be), and there’s not as much outrage over it today as there was before. Did country music help? This list of songs serves as Exhibit A that … maybe? Of course Willie Nelson mak...

The highly-anticipated Summer of ’99 Cruise is on its way to the Bahamas today (April 18), and Creed will play their first performance since 2012 on it. Other acts set to perform onboard throughout the weekend include 3 Doors Down, Buckcherry, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Fuel and a few others. Some of the members of Creed have played Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction with us over the years, though separately of course, as they didn’t reunite until recently. But, given their reunion officially kicking off today, we figured we’d combine highligh...

We’ve had members of Bring Me the Horizon, A Day to Remember, Asking Alexandria, Bullet for My Valentine and Killswitch Engage play the game before, so we put all the most noteworthy moments from each of their Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? episodes int...

Today we celebrate Kurt Cobain‘s legacy, 30 years later. The Nirvana frontman died on April 5, 1994 at the age of 27. He was found in his greenhouse several days later, and the moment the news broke, the world stood still for a moment. The rocker had helped ignite a rock ‘n’ roll movement, and now he was gone. Cobain and Nirvana had an enormous impact on future generations of rock, with many younger bands citing them as a huge influence on their own musical journey and style. Thus, he was nicknamed “The Voice of a Generation.” The musician struggled with his mental health and substance abuse t...
