Sir Christopher Lee, legendary british actor, who served in WWII is definitely one of the most fascinating people alive. How you can go from serving in the war, to playing Dracula, then Saruman, then to sing heavy metal, all with excellent performances is just beyond me. Did you know he was the only man part of the LOTR movies that actually met Tolkien? Or that he volunteered to volunteered to fight for the Finnish forces…
Back around May 2011, Rob Halford and his bandmates in Judas Priest announced it was undertaking its final world tour. Sadness filled hearts, tears flowed, but their decision was final. To celebrate this landmark, the band released “Epitaph,” a DVD filmed at the Hammersmith Appolo London on the final night of the group’s 50-week Epitaph World Tour. Here’s a really nice interview that Ultimate Guitar conducted with the metal legend: UG: The “Epitaph” DVD perfectly…
It’s only so often you get to hear a female singing hip hop, but we’ve definitely not heart the last of Iggy Azalea. The Australian artist is expected to release her debut album The New Classic later this year and is quickly becoming the most popular female rap artist on the scene. With crafty lyrics, smoothy silk flow and a lots of groove, this is hands down one of the best hip hop pieces I’ve…

When I first wrote about van Halen working with LL Cool J, I had to check the date for April Fools first. Even though combining rock and hip-hop is hardly revolutionary these days, this certain collaboration seems at leaast a little odd. The duo joined forces on LL’s upcoming new release “Authentic,” set for a release on April 30 via S-Bro Music Group. Despite the rapper being confident that the collaboration is the winning ticket…
Metal legends and pioneers Judas Priest have recently released a cover and a date for the release of their latest album. “Epitaph” will mark 40 years of “heavy metal dominance” with a total of 23 live tracks recorded on the closing night of the group’s latest and final world tour. Yes, that’s probably the last time Judas Priest ever went live. The album will feature at least one track from each of their 14 classic…
A few days ago we were talking about the very interesting, but controversial album art released by Fall Out Boy, and now they come back. Fall Out Boy plays a pretty fun tribute to Quentin Tarantino’s classic movie “Pulp Fiction,” gathering around a mysterious metal briefcase and getting kidnapped by beautiful women – the life. ccording to the band, new video is a prequel to the previous single “My Songs Know What You Did In…
Just when we were growing fond of My Chemical Romance, and when they showed they have the potential to make some really good music, they write this on their website: “like all great things, it has come time for it to end.” No preparation, no announce, no goodbye – nothing. But the fans don’t want to give up that easily. With an over 15,000-strong online petition, they are now calling the band to get back…
The guys over at Queens of the Stone Age are usually pretty mysterious about their future plans, but they’ve promised an extensive world tour in support of their long-awaited new record “…Like Clockwork” which is out in June. No official dates or places have been released, but the band promised to hit the road in a big way, after spending so much time in the studio and away from the fans. What we do know…
After 12 years and 4 studio albums, My Chemical Romance announce the end of the band, in a blog post. It all started with some rumors, which were then denied, MCR claiming to be working on a new album, but now, this gets posted on their blog: Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We’ve gotten to go places we never knew we would. We’ve been able to…
