From iRock Nashville, here is your extended music news update with Dj. Rockin' Cruz. Brandon Flowers, frontman of The Killers, has kicked off his 'Thrasher Tour' right here in Nashville. He’s celebrating the release of his first solo album in over a decade, titled 'Thrasher'. This new project marks a bold shift into country and Americana, showcasing Flowers' versatility as an artist. In other news, 1991 was a landmark year for metal music, with iconic albums from bands like Metallica, Pantera, and Ozzy Osbourne. This year not only solidified the genre's legacy but also saw the emergence of new subgenres that would shape the future of rock. Meanwhile, ZZ Top's Frank Beard continues to be a source of amusement in rock history as the only member of the band without a beard. Joining the group in 1969, Beard's lack of facial hair has become a quirky part of the band's identity. Lastly, Ethan Miller is reviving the Odyssey Cult as a psychedelic supergroup, bringing together his talents from Comets On Fire and Howlin Rain. Fans are eagerly anticipating new music from this formidable lineup. Get more at iRock Nashville dot com, including more Nashville rock news and links to the full stories.
