Trent Raznor has announced that Nine Inch Nails will return this summer, and there’s some good news, and some bad news. Bad news is former Alessandro Cortini and Ilan Rubin will be leaving the band. The good news is, their place will be taken by Eric Avery of Jane’s Addiction, Adrian Belew of King Crimson and Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv.

Last time we checked it, Led Zeppelin members wanted a reunion, but the biggest problem was Plant – Robert Plant dismissed a reunion on numerous occasions, despite the famous O2 gig in 2008. After all the drama, after discussions of going on without the man, after the dust settled and everybody chilled, out of the blue, Robert Plant shows up and says “Hey, I’m free, let’s make a reunion!”. Well those weren’t exactly his words,…
Aww man, it always saddens me to see drama in iconic bands like Slayer. The band has marked my teenage years, and seeing them live is just about as awesome as a concert can get. A founding member of Slayer, drummer Dave Lombardo, has been removed from the band’s Australian tour over a contract dispute. Lombardo put quite a length post on his Facebook, explaining (from his point of view) the conditions that led to…

The rock legends are back ladies and gents, and we’re really really excited to see what they have sound like after all these years. But until we get our hands on the actual songs in April, we’ll just have to settle for this little teaser. Producer Bob Ezrin, who also worked with Pink Floyd, KISS, Peter Gabriel, Alice Cooper, Kansas and others said the tracks are “the perfect match from the original spirit of ’70s…
I love Frank Zappa – I love him. His guitar playing is fabulous, his writing skills were out of this world, and he pretty much had a good vision about what music is, what music isn’t and where it’s going; he didn’t really care about that much and did his own thing, but he knew. In this short video, he explains the decline and fall of the music business and comes to a surprising conclusion:…
