There’s a thin line between genius and insanity. While many of us are questioning whether we want to see holograms of a dead artist performing across the globe, has anyone stopped to ask yourself if you would want to see a hologram of Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell having “delightful sex?” Most likely, the answer would […]

If you’ve seen the Foo Fighters live, you know that they always give 110%. Whether you like them or not, it’s not out of the realm of impossibility that they’ll play for 2 1/2 hours every night, with not just deep cuts from their extensive catalog, but also some covers.

The tributes for fallen Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell continue to roll in.

While we didn’t attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this past Friday, with the exception of Rush’s Geddy Lee playing bass with Yes as they were inducted, it doesn’t appear like we missed all that much. Journey was inducted, and while Steve Perry was present, he didn’t perform with the band, despite media […]

When it comes to a health-conscious lifestyle, metal isn’t the first thing you’d immediately think of. The image most of us have of musicians is one that revolves around, well… sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll – drinking, smoking and hard partying.

Today, the increasingly irrelevant Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees for 2017 were announced, and there are a few surprises, but nothing that exciting. Jane’s Addiction, Pearl Jam, Yes and Bad Brains are among the more rock-leaning of this year’s nominees, who needed to have had their first single or album released in 1991 […]

Nothing lasts forever, but this weekend’s Lollpalooza marks the 25th anniversary of the festival. However, Lolla co-founder and Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell appears to be kind of over it, and is starting something new in 2018. Actually, he didn’t even intend on it lasting beyond it’s first year, in which Nine Inch Nails, Ice-T, the […]

Last week, Riot Fest left fans utterly shocked when they announced that the original Misfits lineup would perform at both the Chicago and Denver editions of the festivals. Now the festival has revealed the first wave of bands confirmed for its stacked lineup. The Chicago edition (taking place September 16 – 18) will host […]
