Back on January 27th, I attended the Gigantour show at the Mohegan Sun area in Uncasville, Connecticut. On the bill this time around was (headliner) Megadeth, Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I am not a huge Megadeth fan, but there was nothing else coming around so I decided to attend. In fact, I think Megadeth is the band that I care least about that

Bret Michaels is working on a duet with country music legend Loretta Lynn. Yeah, you read that correctly. Michaels and Lynn will rerecord 'Ever Rose Has Its Thorn.' He rerecorded that song a couple years ago with Miley Cyrus, too. I guess he's trying to get some mileage out of that decades old tune, eh? The remake of 'Rose' will be included as a bonus track on Michaels' upcoming album 'Get Your

The other day Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry tweeted that the band was ready to hit the road this summer, starting in June. That's awesome news. Not awesome news?

Drummer Rikki Rockett announced via Facebook a few hours ago that his band Poison will hit the road with Def Leppard this summer. Of course, there's been no official press release and thus no dates have been announced.I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for this. I hope this tour hits Ohio - most specifically Riverbend in Cincinnati. I love seeing Poison there - that's always a fun summer memo

All day I was looking forward to coming home to write about Adam Lambert's new job as the front man for Queen. Well, it turns out all those "confirmed reports" were apparently bogus. At least, that's what Adam says. Maybe someone spilled the beans too early before the ink was dry on the contracts? All sorts of media outlets were reporting that Adam and Queen had a deal and would be going out on to

The other day, Van Halen released a snippet of another new song for their upcoming album A Different Kind of Truth. The preview is about 90 seconds of the track "Blood and Fire." From the little I've heard, I think "Blood and Fire" will be a much better tune than "Tattoo."The music for "Blood and Fire" almost sounds like it could fit on OU812 but then David Lee Roth starts singing and I'm reminded

You read the headline correctly: the big M3 lineup announcement is Monday, Jan. 30. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb 3rd. That's all I know at this point - the press alert I received didn't mention anything about the time of the announcement or if it would be on the radio or just an online blast. I guess we'll see soon enough.M3 2012 is set for May 11 and 12 in Columbia, Md.So far, we know that Quee

There's big money in the fitness industry and it's trendy for celebs to release their own workout vids these days. To that end, the always bare-chested Phil Collen will release a fitness DVD and book based on the "Physical Mechanics" style of training he follows.Collen is serious about his fitness (and his looks I suspect). I've seen Def Leppard live lots of times and never has Phil worn a shirt d

For anyone who is not aware, Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with cancer (lymphoma). It sounds like it was caught early, and the members of Black Sabbath are saying that it's given them a real kick in the pants to work on a new album, but I'm sure worried.Having just lost Ronnie James Dio to cancer, it would be devastating to lose Tony as well, especially on the cusp of a reunion with Ozzy Osbourne
