Earlier this week, it was reported that Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris attempted to commit suicide after she wasn’t allowed to see Marilyn Manson in concert. Did Ms. Jackson really attempt suicide because she couldn’t see Manson live? Whether that’s true or not, the news was enough to supposedly arouse a comment from the shock rocker [...]

This morning, Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris was rushed to the hospital after attempting to commit suicide. She is reportedly in a Los Angeles hospital recovering after she overdosed and was found with cuts on her wrists.

Hard rock and hip-hop/R&B have co-existed since the early ’80s, when Eddie Van Halen contributed a blistering guitar solo to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” in 1982 and Run DMC rapped over guitars on “Rock Box,” on their 1984 self-titled debut album. And while it reached its oversaturation point in the late ’90s with Kid Rock, [...]

Nikki Sixx probably didn’t see this one coming. The Mötley Crüe bassist took the opportunity of the third anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death to make some snarky comments about the late King of Pop on his radio show, Sixx Sense. 14-year-old Paris Jackson, however, did not let a comment about her dad pass without a comment, [...]

Headbangers’ Brawl is a weekly column where Metal Insider’s contributors take a moment to debate and analyze two opposing sides of a topical issue occurring in the world of metal and/or the music industry.

Meet the Children Medieval Band. They’re 23 years old – COMBINED. They also like Rammstein, apparently. What this cover of “Sonne” lacks in heaviness and intensity, it makes up for in pure adorableness. I mean, the drummer is a five year old girl that also plays the harp! The only thing more “awwww”-inducing would be [...]

Major labels have gotten a lot of bad PR in the past, whether giving customers the shaft via overpriced CDs, signing bands to questionable deals, or potentially cutting their own workforces. Now another group is facing a lawsuit from labels and that group sucks – literally. Yeah, we’re talking about the porn industry. ABC News is reporting [...]
