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 20

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...

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...

Black Stone Cherry is playing Indianapolis tonight - just a few feet from where I'm sitting as I write this update. Sadly, I have to head home so I'll miss the show. Great band, great songs. Here's "Please Come In" - truly one of my faves.

Today, Eric and I are driving west to Indianapolis. We'll meet Heather, who drove several hours east, to attend one of the final American Idols Live! tour stops of the season. Now, there's no point in denying it: we're going to see Adam Lambert and no one else. In a perfect world, this would be Adam's tour and I wouldn't have to wait through hours of the "rest." Not that "the rest" don't have ...

My friends in the fabulous Glam band Tigertailz sent me this release and asked if I would post it up so you all can catch them live if you happen to be in the U.K. If I was across the pond, I'd totally be at the show! If you went 'Bezerk' in 1990 and there's still a few pints of glam metal blood coursing through your veins, then whatever you do, get yourself down to the Borderline, London W1 on...

A couple of you have asked me to mention the demise of Oasis. As you may (or may not know, or care) guitarist Noel Gallagher left Oasis a few days ago. Noel, along with his brother Liam, were the backbone of Oasis. On Friday night, Noel announced his plans to leave the band, saying he was "forced to leave" the band and that was he was verbally and violently intimidated. Now here's my problem wi...

It's the last day of August, which makes me so sad. The end of August basically means the end of concert season. Sure, I have a few shows in September (American Idols Live, Pop Evil, UFO, Kix) and Shiprocked in November, but the majority of my 2009 concert calendar is behind me.I don't know about you, but I think I had a pretty strong 2009 season. Sure there were festivals (Rocklahoma, Rock on ...
