If you've ever spent five minutes on Metal Sludge, you understand the title of this article. If not, then "scab" basically means "not authentic" or "replacement."I swear, every thread over there these days mentions "scab" members. Look, I'd rather see an original lineup of a band too, but sometimes that isn't an option. I'm not sure it's fair to brand replacement members as "scabs."If you think...

Holy glam, the Electric Angels look like "Never Enough" era L.A. Guns in their video for "Rattlesnake Kisses." Formed after Candy fell apart, Electric Angels never made it huge, but they did have a deal with Atlantic Records which yielded the band's only album, Electric Angels. I like the song "Rattlesnake Kisses" - do you?

I'm in Baltimore, Maryland right now getting ready to see Kix perform live at Rams Head Live! This is always one of Kix's biggest shows of the year - and I'm ready. Follow me on Twitter and I'll update you during the show as much as I can remember. I have trouble remembering that Twitter even exists and often find it a pain - but I'm trying. Here's Kix doing "Tear Down the Walls" live last week...

I'm confused.Lita Ford is going on tour with Queensryche. Fine. She's opening for them. That's great. She's also using all the members of Queensryche as her backing band. Say what?Ok, so Queensryche won't be Lita's full backing band - she's just doing three songs with them - but it's still confusing. One of the three songs is "Close My Eyes Forever," the song Lita originally recorded with Ozzy ...

I'm not a Ryan Adams fan. I know of him as I write about music and therefore spend my days combing many different websites - but I don't love him. In fact, I very rarely think of him at all...until now. It seems Mr. Adams has written a "hair metal parody" called "The Awl (Hair Metal Version)."The song is in honor of some new website called The Awl, for which Adams also writes. Apparently, the t...

Wolf Blitzer hosts The Situation Room on CNN. The Situation Room just happens to be my favorite show on CNN. Yesterday, Blitzer announced his new Twitter account. Being a fan, I signed up and clicked through his messages...and found an awesome picture of ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and his wife visiting Blitzer on set in Washington, D.C.Now, that's Glam.ZZ Top are touring around, hitting some of the...

You know Paul Gilbert. He's an amazing guitarist, most known for his work with Mr. Big and Racer X. I reported a few months ago that Mr. Big reunited. They played a few shows together in Japan over the summer.A few days ago, Paul Gilbert spoke with my friends at Metal Sucks. Here's an excerpt of that interview:Metal Sucks: Can we talk about Mr. Big, which is back on the scene and doing shows in...

As you probably know, AEG Live and Sony Pictures have teamed up to release 'This Is It,' the Michael Jackson tour rehearsal footage. I love me some MJ and this movie looks awesome. I'll be getting my tickets early - can't wait! The movie is out October 28 for two weeks only. Here's the trailer.

While scanning Blabbermouth last night, I came across a post about Ian Astbury of the Cult saying the album is a "dead" format.I think he's right. Here's his comment, extracted from the Blabbermouth post:"It's a dead format; we don't have the attention span for albums. The idea of going into a studio and spending a year-and-a-half creating a body of work which you put out as a body of work is p...

Glam bless YouTube! If you're like me, you're currently broke. That means hunting down cheap or free entertainment. Thanks to Metal Sludge, I was totally tipped to an awesome Motley Crue show from back in 1997. Yes, the Generation Swine days - live in Tokyo! I watched all four clips below - put them together, you've got the entire concert for free! Generation Swine was a cool, yet troubled time...

Based solely on the awesomeness of this ad, I shall buy a lot of stock in Symantec (SYMC). Seriously, just watch and see what Norton Anti-Virus has in common with Glam.

Over the holiday weekend, I was lucky enough to catch Adam Lambert and the rest of the American Idols on tour. Heather, Eric and I had a good time - but anytime Adam is involved, fun is a must! Adam sang the hell out of "Whole Lotta Love," "Starlight" (by Muse), "Mad World," "Slow Ride" (a duet with Allison Iraheta), and a David Bowie medley. Basically, it was all over-the-top Glam.During one o...

Holy Glam! I am totally writing up a review of the Adam Lambert (ok, American Idol) concert, but good grief I had to post this clip of Heaven's Edge! Does anyone remember these guys? "Skin to Skin" is a great song - obscure, though. The band formed in the late 80s and released two albums in the early nineties. One look at that time frame explains why this band didn't get huge. I'm not sure Heav...
