Korn Just Released Their New Video For “Finally Free” that puts you in the seat of your own mid 20th century tank.

Ronni Hunter

Korn teamed up with 'World Of Tanks Blitz'. A free to play MMO that puts you in the seat of your own mid 20th century tank. The new video takes Captain, a character from the games universe and makes him a die-hard Korn fan, that's trying to make it to Korn's live show at "Burning Games".

To help celebrate the partnership, 'World Of Tanks Blitz' will be hosting a 5 stage Halloween event called "Convergence" and will run October 16th-24th.

"I really like World of Tanks Blitz. It's true to the era, there are a lot of great tanks in there, and you don't just jump in and start shooting. I think there is a connection between rock and video games because video games are intense and rock 'n' roll music is intense. It seems like they have always gone hand in hand."

- Jonathan Davis

News Anchor in Anchorage, AK Has Set the Bar for "Bat Sh*t Crazy" (NSFW Pics/Audio)

Nuber

The mayor of Anchorage, Alaska is resigning after a tawdry scandal involving accusations of him sending nude videos were first reported by a local news anchor. But there's way more to his resignation that needs to be unpacked.

It all started last Friday (10/9) when Anchorage ABC/Fox affiliate news anchor Maria Athens posted the following video on her Facebook page claiming she had a video of the mayor naked that was posted on an underage girl's website.

That night, no such story ran on the news. The mayor denied the existence of the video and the station's manager even went so far as to disavow the story. So Athens took to Facebook and posted what she claims were screen shots of the mayor naked.

If it seems kind of scummy for a news anchor to use the hashtag "#takethathaters" and talk about the mayor's wife in the post, you'd be onto something, because this is where Athen's story begins to unravel. On Monday, a recording of a voicemail was released that Athens sent to the Mayor on the day of she made the allegations. Buckle up for this one, NSFW language abounds.

As it turns out, the shots she posted on her social media were either from a video she had or had been sent to her by the mayor, because yesterday, the mayor admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with Athens years ago and said he is resigning from office. Here's an adorable photo of the couple from happier times.

As if that wasn't enough, Athens was arrested on Friday in the TV station's parking lot after trying to force her way into the building and assaulting her boyfriend (who also happened to be the station manager from earlier who disavowed the allegations she made against the mayor).

No word if she has a lawyer yet, but she hasn't taken down her Facebook page so soak it in while you still can...

Greta Van Fleet are back With a New Song and Video 'My Way Soon'

Ronni Hunter

"My Way, Soon" is the GVF's first new music in over a year.

"This song was inspired by what three years of touring did by opening so many doorways. This is my truth, how I feel about all of our travels, but I know it echoes the experiences and changes of perspectives for Jake, Sam, and Danny as well."

Lead singer Josh Kiszka

Check out the music video, which was shot, edited, and directed by the band...

Legendary guitarist and co-founder of Van Halen, EDDIE VAN HALEN has died at the age of 65 after a long battle with throat cancer. R.I.P. Guitar God.

Ronni Hunter

Eddie died at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica Today w/ His wife Janie, son Wolfgang, and brother and drummer Alex, by his side. Reports say that the last 72 hours Eddie's ongoing health battle went massively downhill -- doctors discovered his throat cancer had moved to his brain as well as other organs. Eddie had been battling cancer for well over a decade.

He'd been in and out of the hospital over the past year and was flying between the US and Germany for 5 years to get radiation treatment. Nevertheless, he continued to attend concerts and rehearse music with his son, Wolfgang, who became Van Halen's bassist in 2006.

Wolfgang, shared the sad news via his social media. He wrote, "I can't believe I'm having to write this, but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning. "He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I've shared with him on and off stage was a gift. My heart is broken and I don't think I'll ever fully recover from this loss. I love you so much, Pop."
