September 19, 2011 Over the weekend, a very odd protest took place. The Westboro Baptist Church is an anti-gay group that always pickets at soldier's funerals and other incredibly offensive places. They protested the Foo's show in Kansas City.
August 26, 2011 ESPN is holding a contest to see which band can come up with the best theme song for their show ESPN Baseball Tonight.
John Taylor secured his rightful spot in metal heaven when he recently broke the record for world’s fastest guitar playing. He clocked in at at 600 BPM (Beats Per Minute), almost twice the speed of the original record holder, Tiago Della Vega.
These days, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Billy Idol don’t seem to have much in common, but back in the day that wasn’t the case. A recently unearthed clip shows a young Reznor covering one of Idol’s biggest hits, ‘Eyes Without a Face.’
August 17, 2011 Tonight, Red Hot Chili Peppers take over MTV and MTV2 and will actually play a video.
August 16, 2011 Over the years I have seen countless bands play countless shows at at countless venues, but yet I still have a list of bands that I either haven't seen or just haven't seen in a while. I put together a list of mostly new bands that I think would be great to see live
Even the grungy apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Frances Bean Cobain, the 18-year-old daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Hole singer Courtney Love, showed off her tattoos and puffed on a cigarette for a series of black-and-white photos taken by fashion designer Hedi Slimane.
July 19, 2011 I can't believe how fast time really moves. If you don't stop to enjoy life a little it just may pass you by. I didn't realize it's been five years since the Red Hot Chili Peppers release their last album Stadium Arcadium, either way they are back and ready to rock!
The Chili Peppers new single called "The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie" was originally scheduled for release to radio stations today, but there was a leak online and it had to be released earlier
July 19, 2011 Blink-182 has released its first new song in eight years, called "Up All Night." Considering what drummer Travis Barker has been through in the past couple years with the plane crash and subsequent rehabilitation, this is very good news. I actually never thought Blink would ever make new music or tour again. The song is the first to be heard from the trio's upcoming album, which is now called Neighborhoods and is scheduled to hit stores on September 27th.
Recently singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge said that he thinks Blink fans will be pleased with the finished album:
June 29, 2011 Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park were at the LPU Summit Hamburg 2011 and they did a little impromptu unplugged version of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep."
I was groovin' the other day and this song came on. I thought, "I love these guys, but this HAS to be THEE WORST cover song of all time." Some disagree and say it's Miley Cyrus's version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" but I'm not so sure.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. So what’s a new mp3 from Bush worth?
Fortunately, you don’t have to answer that question, because the band is giving away their new single, ‘All My Life,’ for free. The track, due for inclusion on the band’s upcoming album ‘The Sea of Memories,’ is being offered at the Electronic Arts website for free download.
Why EA, you ask? The partnership came about because another track from the album – which will be made available for free download on July 25 – is being featured on EA Sports’ ‘NHL 12.’ An unusual tie-in, perhaps, but when your band has been away for the better part of a decade, you’ve got to try and make a splash.
