You know the whole "Genie in a bottle" fantasy, right? Rub a bottle, out pops a genie and you get three wishes. What if those were three Metal wishes? Say you had the chance to have any three things you wanted - the only stipulation being that the wish had to be related to Metal music in some way. What would you wish for?I'm not sure I could say what I'd want, to be honest. The power here is gr...

Album:This Is It
Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' is a testament to the King of Pop's enduring legacy as a genius and stage performer. The movie - part concert film, part documentary - takes viewers through the final phases of Jackson's massive 'This Is It' comeback tour.During the massive media coverage following Jackson's untimely death earlier this year, many reporters incessantly questioned Jackson's ability ...

Love/Hate Heartbreak
Halestorm is a great band. The band's self-titled major label debut is pretty mind-blowing when you consider all the luscious guitar solos. Yes, a modern band with guitar solos! Lead singer Lzzy Hale has an awesome rock voice - perhaps one of the best on the scene right now.Halestorm is not only raw enough to be Metal, but also commercial enough to enjoy some mainstream success. The band is get...

Happy Halloween! Elvira is Calling
Remember Elvira? You know, the Mistress of the Dark? Played by Cassandra Peterson, I also sort of associated the Elvira character as being pretty Metal. I have no idea if this is a fair assessment or not, but she sure is a good topic for this Halloween Saturday. The following are some pretty cool Elvira clips. Have a great Halloween!

Why Every Band Needs Their Own 'November Rain'

Artist:Guns n’ Roses

Track:November Rain
I listen to music when I work. I've done this for as long as I can remember, from high school, through college then at my "real jobs."My most recent real job is ending soon - at the end of next month and I couldn't be happier. Finally, after years and years of trudging through work that meant nothing to me, I'm turning the tables and doing what I want with my life. Yes, I'm about to become a fu...

Halloween is Coming...Top 5 Alice Cooper Videos

Artist:
Halloween is my favorite holiday. If I wasn't broke, I'd be spending money on an awesome costume and party. Since I'm being "fiscally responsible," I'm cutting out meaningless spending, thus no new costume. I may dress-up to pass out treats - it all depends on how warm it is on Saturday night. If you're planning on dressing up, do tell me your costume in the comments section. I always love when...

I'm grateful for even getting an update posted today. My host is having a slew of problems and every time I tried to post, I was met with a massive page error. So, this isn't the original article I had planned, but still one of my favorite subjects nonetheless.Entertainment Weekly says "glam is back" thanks to Adam Lambert.

Hardline Made Some Good Tunes

Track:
I'm driving along, swerving orange barrels and trying to avoid stupid drivers when Hardline comes on my satellite radio. Yes, "Hot Cherie!" This made me smile. Hardline is a great band - and completely underrated. Perhaps most important, guitarist Neal Schon was an original member of Hardline, heavily contributing to the band's sound. It's no wonder Hardline is compared to Journey - Schon's pla...

Why Does Axl Rose Seemingly Hate America Now?

So a few days ago, Guns n' Roses (or Axl Rose and friends if you prefer) announced they would finally tour behind Chinese Democracy. Awesome - except the tour is only taking place in Canada.In the not so distant past, GnR has toured many other countries of the world...but never America.Why?Is this some sort of odd slap in the face to Axl's many American fans? Is Axl afraid of the American media...

Now I'm Obsessed with Bon Jovi; Top 5 Videos
Bon Jovi announced a world tour a few days ago and since that time I've sort of been obsessed with the New Jersey band. By obsessed, I don't mean that I've only been listening to Jovi tunes the past few days, because I haven't any more than usual. I've just been fixated on planning a way to see one of the concerts. Remember a long time ago when we talked about bands our "master lists?" Bon Jovi...

Papa Roach and Jet Tour Begins Tomorrow
I'm so glad it's the weekend. It's been a very trying week and I'm pooped. Of course, I won't get much rest today as I have a family wedding. I quite enjoy weddings but this one involves a long car ride, so that always adds to the exhaustion factor. Still, I'm sure it will be a fun day. Earlier this week I received a press release about Jet's new video. The release also mentioned that Jet and P...

Track:
Shinedown just released a new video for their song "If You Only Knew." The song is one of my favorite tracks off The Sound of Madness. The video isn't great, though. It's just sort of average - not that there's any point for bands to spend a load of cash on videos these days. MTV never plays them anyway. Watch for yourself.

Track:Time for Miracles
Adam Lambert is getting ready to release his debut effort next month. The CD will be called For Your Entertainment and is said to be "very 70s glam rock." We shall see - I've already pre-ordered my copy. In the mean time, Adam recorded a song for the 2012 soundtrack. "Time for Miracles" is a sappy ballad, quite standard for a big budget Hollywood release. Of course Adam's voice is amazing on th...

Footage just popped up on YouTube of Aerosmith performing living in Hawaii a couple days ago. I'm sure many of you are aware the band had to perform the show as a result of a lengthy lawsuit. I obviously wasn't at the show so I can't say if it was good or not, but the clip below isn't that impressive. It's clear there's some tension in the band right now - watch how Steven Tyler and Joe Perry r...

Artist:
Anthony Bozza, the New York Times bestselling author is back with a new book chronicling the importance of AC/DC. Aptly titled Why AC/DC Matters (Harper Collins), Bozza takes a rhetorical view of some of the best-known AC/DC tunes. Dissecting both the lyrics and music behind the entire package, Bozza explains why even the simplest chord structure can be considered both complex and groundbreakin...
