I had the rare opportunity to catch the mighty Steel Panther as they played Nashville, TN for the first time in their career. This was my first time ever seeing the band play, though I’ve been a fan for several years. While I have seen live clips of them online, playing to huge crowds in [...]

Last week, Guns N’ Roses surprised many when announcing an appearance at this year’s Governer’s Ball. Well as it turns out, that wasn’t the only festival performance in the works as Axl Rose and his new gunners have also been confirmed for this year’s Rocklahoma.

The lineup for the 2013 Rock on the Range festival has been announced for May 17-19. While it’s taking place again in Columbus OH, you could be forgiven for thinking that it’s taking place in the Pacific Northwest in the ’90s, as Alice In Chains and Soundgarden are among the headliners.

It’s not unusual to see musicians joining Steel Panther onstage for a cover or two. Hell, you’d even be surprised at who you’d find backstage with the hair metal-inspired band. So why is it a big deal that Steel Panther were joined onstage by Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell this past Saturday (January 21) in [...]

We’ve seen Megadeth hanging out with Pee-wee Herman. We’ve caught Mastodon partying backstage and onstage with Barney. And now we can say that Steel Panther have much less than a 6 degree relationship with Kevin Bacon. When the hair metal band played at the Irving Plaza in NYC last week, they were also joined backstage by [...]

Yesterday, we took a look at some of our favorite holiday songs. Notice the classic “12 Days of Christmas” wasn’t anywhere on there. Mainly it’s because the song is so damn repetitive. Plus, who would want to get multiple french hens and turtle doves for Christmas? That doesn’t seem like something you’d give your true love [...]

It’s that time of year again. As 2011 is less than a month away from ending, everyone is compiling and sharing their “end of the year” lists. And what a year it has been for metal. While it had its fair share of major surprises, 2011 also saw a lot of great music released. So [...]
